Chapter 123: How about destroying him?
The next day.

In a private room of a big hotel in Beijing.

A huge round table occupied most of the box. It was covered with a beige tablecloth and white tea cups were placed on it.

There is a circle of chairs next to the round table.

Although there were only ten people attending the meeting, there were far more than ten seats.

This arrangement came at the instruction of Zhao Fangxu.

Every time the Ten Lords convened, a round table was used and seats were never assigned.

In this case, the choice of seating becomes crucial.

The relationship between these ten people, or ten forces, has always been a matter of close attention for the company.

For the company, it is not a good thing if the conflicts between them are too great or their relationship is too close.

Xiao Su sat on the sofa nearby, observing the guys who had taken their seats calmly.

Her eyes first fell on the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe and looked relaxed. He was talking to Lu Jin beside him with his head tilted to the side, his long eyebrows trembling slightly.

Lu Jin, still wearing his shirt and suit, nodded slightly.

Sitting one seat away from the two of them was Chen Jinkui, the head of the Shuzi Sect.

Chen Jinkui stroked his beard with one hand and tapped the table subconsciously with the other. He raised his eyes slightly and silently paid attention to the others.

Interestingly, the chairs on either side of him were empty.

To the right of the empty chair sat the "witch" Guan Shihua and Na Ruhu, one of the "two heroes".

One is the patriarch of the Northeast Chu Ma Xian family, and the other is the leader of Xi Gu Pavilion.

These two people seem to have quite different personalities and ages, but they actually have a good relationship.

The surname "Na" originated from the Northeast. If you trace it back, the two families are actually related.

At this time, the two were also chatting.

Guan Shihua has short curly silver hair, is not tall and slightly plump, and wears two big gold earrings on her ears.

Although she is very old, she is in high spirits and has a loud voice when chatting. Her hearty laughter can be heard in the box from time to time.

……

Continuing to observe clockwise, two seats away from the two people is Mu You, the head of Jianghu Inn.

Mu You has a bald head and a serious expression, giving people the feeling that he is not easy to approach.

As an intelligence organization, Jianghu Xiaozhan has existed for nearly a hundred years and holds the secrets of many sects.

It is also because of this that all the sects are somewhat wary of Jianghu Inn.

The chair on the other side of Mu You was also empty.

Further on, three people sat together.

Xiao Su's eyes narrowed slightly. This was also the person he would focus on today——

Feng Zhenghao from the Tianxia Society, Wang Ai from the Wang family, and Lu Ci from the Lu family.

Wang Ai sat in the middle, holding a cane in his hand, squinting his eyes and listening to what Feng Zhenghao next to him was saying.

He had a smile on his face, but his expression was a little disdainful.

Lu Ci, who was sitting on the other side of him, had a much more serious expression.

Xiao Su noticed that Lu Ci had his arms folded across his chest, his eyes lowered, and the scar on his face was tense.

This is a defensive posture.

……

Xiao Su retracted his gaze. Nine of the Ten Masters had already been counted, with only the last person missing.

at this time……

There was a noise outside the door and a man in a monk's robe walked in.

He was not tall, with kind eyes. The most striking thing about him was his big ears, which almost hung down to his shoulders.

It was the last of the Ten Lords - Master Jiekong, the abbot of Lingyin Temple.

Everyone looked up and greeted him.

Master Jiekong nodded to everyone, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he walked towards Xiao Su who was sitting on the sofa.

Xiao Su immediately stood up with a questioning look on his face.

Master Jiekong asked in a low voice, "Director Su, Baojing's matter..."

Hearing this, Xiao Su immediately understood and replied with a smile:

"Master Jiekong, don't worry. President Zhao asked me to tell you that Xiao Zizai is doing well in the company."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Master Jiekong raised his hand and made an "Amitabha" gesture in front of him, then nodded slightly and walked towards his seat.

He looked around at the remaining empty seats and finally sat down next to Mu You.

At this point, all ten bosses are present.

……

The next moment, Xiao Su stood up and took a few steps forward.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the small woman in the red sweater.

Despite being stared at by so many bigwigs, Xiao Su's expression remained unchanged and his attitude was very calm.

She began to say, "Everyone should know the purpose of the company calling you here this time."

"The content of those two posts was quite extensive, and the company's investigation showed that the information revealed therein was true."

"According to the regulations, the right to adjudicate conflicts of this magnitude in the alien world belongs to the Ten Lords Council."

"The company is only here to observe this meeting. Regarding how to deal with Lu Liang and the Yaoxing Society, I invite everyone in the Ten Lords Association to discuss a plan together."

"Everyone, please!"

After saying this, Director Xiao Su returned to sit on the sofa beside him, leaving the main discussion to the ten leaders at the round table.

……

The Ten Lords' meeting officially begins.

The box was completely silent, with everyone remaining silent in tacit understanding, as if waiting for someone else to speak first.

After a moment of stalemate, Chen Jinkui broke the silence.

He raised his hand and scratched his bald head, looking at the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei next to him.

"Oh, this matter is really difficult to handle."

"Old Heavenly Master, you not only command the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but you are also the leader of the entire Zhengyi Sect. How about you take the lead and make a decision?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Ai also responded.

"Yes, Master, you have the most say among those present here."

Zhang Zhiwei slowly stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young people nowadays are full of edge."

"I'm just here to make up the numbers today. Don't worry about me. Just chat as you like."

Seeing that Zhang Tianshi seemed to be staying out of the matter, the others looked at each other and the scene fell silent again.

The theme of this meeting is "Lü Liang" and "Yaoxing Society".

Yaoxing Society’s solution is easy to come by, it’s nothing more than investigation and elimination.

The tricky one is Lu Liang.

Not to mention his status in Quan Xing, his identity as a member of the Lu family alone is enough to make people feel very embarrassed.

Lu Ci, known as the "mad dog", was sitting next to him, and no one dared to bump into him first.

But what Lu Liang did in Longhu Mountain and Jishidiang, and the abilities he demonstrated, made it hard not to be wary of him.

We definitely can't let him continue to make trouble outside like this.

However, the person in the audience who is least afraid of offending Lu Ci must be the old Taoist priest. If the old Taoist priest can express his position, the rest of the things will be easy.

……

Chen Jinkui's eyes turned, and he smiled again and said to the old Taoist priest:

"Old Heavenly Master, I heard that Master Tian's health has recovered after the Luotian Grand Ceremony. This is truly a great news."

"It's just that someone outside was spreading rumors that this incident was related to that 'fake Lin Yin', and I cursed him back on the spot."

"How could the Tianshi Mansion be involved with Quan Xing's people? Old Tianshi, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the others looked over.

Could it be that the old Taoist priest’s refusal to express his opinion and secretly protecting Lu Liang was really due to this incident?
Feng Zhenghao gently pushed his glasses and waited quietly for the answer.

It must be said that Chen Jinkui asked a very clever question. If the old Taoist priest denied it, then he would have no reason to protect Lu Liang.

If the old Taoist priest admitted it, at least everyone could confirm Lu Liang's ability through this answer.

Everyone present figured out the key to this almost instantly, but the old Taoist priest refused to respond.

He snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed, and his long eyebrows trembled.

"Oh! Happy events are of course happy events, but since when have outsiders been able to freely question the Tianshi Mansion?"

"My junior brother, how did he get injured back then? Are you all really not aware of this?"

"Back then, Master didn't pursue the matter further for the sake of the greater good."

The old Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves with a light movement. "Why, do you want to reminisce with me now?"

Everyone looked away. After all, no one wanted to be slapped.

……

Chen Jinkui was the first to turn his gaze away and look at Guan Shihua.

"Auntie! You haven't shown up for so long, and you're an older person! Otherwise, why don't you express your attitude first and set an example for us!"

Guan Shihua curled her lips in the direction of Chen Jinkui and spoke directly:

"Stop it! You little bald donkey, you're always causing trouble..."

As soon as the word "bald donkey" came out, several eyes looked over.

Na Ruhu quickly stood up to smooth things over. He raised his hand to calm Guan Shihua, who was about to explode, while trying to wink at the side, signaling Guan Shihua not to hurt anyone by mistake.

"Ahem! Auntie! Ahem!"

Guan Shihua followed his gaze, but her expression was nonchalant, and she spoke directly to the other two bald men who were sitting together.

She first looked at Master Jiekong.

"What? Big monk! Are you unhappy with what I hear?"

"It's okay, it's okay, hehe!"

Master Jiekong, who was named, raised his hand and made an "Amitabha" gesture.

Seeing this, Guan Shihua burst into laughter.

She waved her hands and said, "Hey, hey! I wasn't talking about you! Don't take it personally!"

As she spoke, she pointed her finger at Mu You who was standing beside her.

"You and Xiaomu are just bald, not donkeys!"

"Jin Kui'er is bald and a donkey! If he's not a bald donkey, then what is he?"

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

Chen Jinkui raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Meanwhile, the tiger-like figure on the side was sweating even more. He urged, "Auntie! Auntie, let's get down to business!"

"Humph!"

Guan Shihua snorted before taking her eyes off Chen Jinkui.

She rested her elbows on the table, her expression uninhibited.

"Zhao Fangxu has already launched the campaign, so it's inappropriate for me not to show up."

"But I'm a nobody, what can I say? You guys can do whatever you want."

"You're still blaming me for not showing up, really!"

Guan Shihua's gaze swept across Wang Ai and Feng Zhenghao who were sitting opposite her.

"I'm just a little Ma Xian'er, how dare I go south? There's the Tianxiahui, and then there's Mr. Wang... They're all so fickle."

"Humph!"

Feng Zhenghao and Wang Ai didn't say anything, but the atmosphere became tense.

Chen Jinkui looked left and right, then quickly made up for it:
"Hey, aunt! What are you saying?"

"Who hasn't heard of the might of Northeastern Ma Xian'er? It's said that when the Tang Clan and Bihe Ren fought at the Sky-piercing Cavern, Northeastern Ma Xian'er played a significant role."

"Hmph!" Guan Shihua lowered her head and drank tea, not appreciating it.

Chen Jinkui's gaze quickly turned to Ru Hu again.

"Then... Xiao Na! Then Second Master, give me some face! Take the lead!"

"Come on! Brother Jin Kui! You're kidding me!"

That Ru Hu responded while touching the back of his head.

"I'm the youngest and least experienced among those present, so it's not my turn to offer advice. You should do it."

At this moment, Wang Ai suddenly spoke.

"Don't be modest, Xiao Na... Indeed, you are the youngest."

"What about the Xigu Pavilion under your command? They mainly suppress thugs."

"But you were able to join the ranks of the Ten Lords earlier than Feng Zhenghao. Isn't the reason obvious... you're a good fighter."

"If you ask me, among the people present here, besides the old Taoist priest, you are the most qualified to give advice."

After hearing this, Ru Hu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Old man, please stop making fun of me."

"I know my own worth."

"However, this matter involves my master, and I can express my stance on Yaoxing Society."

The tiger-like expression turned a little more serious.

He said in a deep voice, "If what happened to my master was indeed done by the Yaoxing Society, I will definitely go to the Yaoxing Society and ask for an explanation."

"Anyway, this is my attitude towards this matter."

"As for the rest, I, the little kid, will listen to you, the elders! Whatever you say is what it is!"

……

Just when the situation was about to reach a stalemate again.

Mu You, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke.

His expression remained serious.

"Since you all have no idea, how about listening to me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over, waiting for him to speak.

Mu You's first words stunned everyone.

He raised his hand and gestured downward, his eyes swept over the crowd, and said in a cold voice: "Regarding the treatment of Lu Liang, how about crippling him?"

"Disguise... Such an ability is simply a disaster."

"Based on the skills he demonstrated before, it's very likely that he can not only change his appearance, but also perform healing."

"Everyone, don't forget, the Lu family still has the Soul-Clearing Technique."

"Who can defend against someone who can check memories and change his appearance?"

"Let me tell you, why don't we all catch him together and cripple him!"

"If we don't continue this trend, Quan Xing, there's going to be another Wu Gensheng."

"But unfortunately, back then, no one knew the real name of Wu Gensheng. He was truly a person born without roots."

"This Lu Liang is different. He comes from a famous family."

"Wu Gensheng took the position of the head of Quanxing Sect, which had been vacant for hundreds of years. From then on, this loose group of lunatics finally had a leader!"

"After Jiashen, he mysteriously disappeared, and Quan Xing has since calmed down a bit."

"Now, if another person like this appears, wouldn't you all have a headache?"

"Lü Liang hasn't even become the leader of the Xing Sect yet, and he's already made such a big fuss."

"If he really becomes the leader of Quanxing Sect, that would be unbearable!"

He glanced at Lu Ci and continued in a cold voice.

"In that case, I'm going to make a bold suggestion today."

"Capture Lu Liang, destroy his meridians, and then this matter ends here. The company is not allowed to pursue any further investigation!"

"Lü Liang can still return to the Lu family."

"As long as we're careful when we strike, it's possible to only destroy his abilities and leave him healthy."

"He will be an ordinary person from now on. The Lu family has so many businesses that they won't have to worry about not being able to support him."
