One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

As he spoke, he looked solemnly at the Old Celestial Master: "Old Celestial Master, we really want to know why you impulsively went down the mountain this time to eradicate Quanxing everywhere."

“What Quanxing did this time was indeed excessive. Our company will accept the consequences, so we need a reason from you.”

In response to Chairman Zhao's question, as well as the gazes of others, [the situation unfolded].

The old master just smiled and didn't say anything.

No matter what they asked, the old master remained silent.

Therefore, their attention turned to Chen Qi.

"Chen Qi, right? I remember you're a temporary worker at the company. You were there during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony last time. What are you doing here?"

"I heard that the Celestial Master was going to challenge the Quanxing Sect, so I came to see what the fuss was about."

Chen Qi said dismissively.

The two were in stark contrast; one wouldn't say anything no matter how you asked, while the other kept making things up no matter what you asked.

In any case, I didn't get a single useful word.

Finally, the company's board members and the ten elders all fell silent.

Chen Qi and the Old Master got into the company car.

Before leaving, Chen Qi said goodbye to Xia He, "Go back and wait for my news. I'll contact you when I get out."

Hearing his shout, everyone looked in the direction he was looking and saw a strange but pleasing-looking man sitting in the driver's seat.

Without saying a word, the man drove off.

Zhang Zhiwei watched the car speeding by and said meaningfully, "Unfamiliar face yet familiar face 3.9."

In short, he said something that left everyone else confused, not knowing what he was talking about.

Only Chen Qi understood what he meant and smiled faintly.

Even if the man with a thousand faces is incredibly skilled, it's still just a trick.

Faced with absolute power, such tricks are easy to pull off.

……

Inside the villa.

When Zhang Chulan and Xu Si returned, they called out Chen Qi's name as soon as they entered the door, but they couldn't find him no matter how hard they looked.

Xu Si was puzzled: "Didn't Bao Bao say that Brother Qi was back? Where is he?"

Zhang Chulan's eyes darkened, as if he had thought of something: "They wouldn't have left again, would they?"

Chapter 184 Dealing with the Old Celestial Master? You're not worthy!

Based on his understanding of Chen Qi, he knew that unless something important happened, he wouldn't leave Bao Bao and Duo'er here alone.

When Zhang Chulan thought of it, Xu Si thought of it too.

The two looked at each other and walked outside at the same time, both heading towards the company.

“I knew this wouldn’t be simple. How could Brother Qi not be involved in something as important as the Old Celestial Master?”

Xu Si was driving, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Zhang Chulan remained silent in response.

He wondered what Qi Ge was thinking.

I saw Ma Xianhong a while ago, and he wanted to build a self-cultivation furnace, and he also said those words.

Clearly, there is a grand plan in progress, but the specifics have not yet been told to him.

Now, with Elder Tian's unexpected death, my uncle has personally gone down the mountain to eliminate the Quanxing sect.

This was no easy task, but my uncle still did it.

The consequences of 06 are unpredictable.

How should they choose?

On their way to the company, the group of people who had returned from the grasslands had already arrived downstairs at the company.

Chen Qi and the old master were taken to a lounge.

"Looks like they're not planning to lock us in a dark room," Chen Qi said with a smile after looking around.

Zhang Zhiwei, who had remained silent the entire way, spoke for the first time, "Of course, I don't know your situation, but I shouldn't end up in a dark room."

"As expected of the Old Celestial Master," Chen Qi said thoughtfully as he sat down opposite the Old Celestial Master. "I suppose they're anxiously deciding how to deal with you right now. How should they handle it? Will they just cripple our Old Celestial Master?"

Chen Qi deliberately brought up a rather pointed topic, looking at the old master's calm expression, still maintaining his nonchalant demeanor, "Everything is unknown, and I can accept their handling of the situation."

It seems like everything is acceptable.

Chen Qi was somewhat surprised, yet understandable.

Having made the decision to descend the mountain and eradicate Quanxing, they must have already been prepared to accept the consequences.

But Chen Qi didn't want it to be like this.

Chen Qi looked at Zhang Zhiwei with a firm gaze and said, "Old Celestial Master, you can accept it, but I can't. Just kill a few Quanxing little devils."

“How can we punish the old Celestial Master of the Zhengyi Sect? In my opinion, he should be commended.”

His words amused Zhang Zhiwei.

Beneath Zhang Zhiwei's seemingly solemn exterior lies a man whose true nature cannot be suppressed.

He was arrogant and conceited in his youth, and it would have been normal for him to become an invincible figure, but he was trapped by the position of Celestial Master.

"you are interesting."

"I hope you can be as interesting as I am."

What appears to be a simple exchange between the two is actually fraught with hidden tension.

Chen Qi wasn't just chatting idly; he was testing Zhang Zhiwei, trying to gauge Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts.

As long as Zhang Zhiwei is there, the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain will not fall into ruin.

But the other forces are different.

Based on the current distribution of power, which of the Ten Elders is powerful enough to be beyond question?

No one can do it, not even a company.

Therefore, as long as Chen Qi brings the Celestial Master's Mansion under his control, other forces are nothing special.

It's fine if you have it, but it's not a big deal if you don't.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room.

The ten elders and directors sat on either side, with Zhao Fangxu sitting at the very front.

"Everyone can speak up. The problem with the old Celestial Master is very serious now, and we need to give an explanation."

"The old Celestial Master is indeed a very powerful figure, but such a figure should not make us feel worried."

Such a powerful force, if it cannot be put to use, would be a great hidden danger.

At least that's what everyone in the company thinks.

Others even more so.

After Zhao Fangxu said this, everyone fell silent.

This discussion concerns a supreme master; who dares to speak lightly? What if they get burned?

Seeing that no one spoke up, Zhao Fangxu took the initiative to say, "As an organization with decision-making power in the world of supernatural beings, the Ten Elders need to play a role at critical moments."

Zhao Fangxu has made it very clear that there is no possibility of cover-up now; the decision must be made based on the truth.

At this moment, Lu Jin spoke first, "I have a pretty good relationship with the Old Master. I also think that he went a bit too far this time. It would be better to just let the company send someone to handle the Quanxing matter."

"His personal involvement, which caused a great deal of commotion and had a significant impact on society, will make the follow-up work very troublesome."

"The old Celestial Master should bear the responsibility."

Lu Jin's words were an admission of the Old Celestial Master's mistakes, something that others dared not say.

Among the Ten Elders, only Lu Jin and the Lu family can speak impartially.

After all, in the world of supernatural beings, the Lu family's principle is impartiality, absolute fairness, no compromise, and no surrender.

Despite Lu Jin's stance, she still made a fair and impartial decision.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold laugh came from the side.

The person who sneered was none other than Lü Ci from the Lü family.

He glanced at Lu Jin and said mockingly, "I know you, Lu Jin, look down on me, and I look down on you too."

"Can't you have a little selfishness? What's wrong with the Old Master taking action? Those Quanxing brats are deliberately causing trouble, are we just going to let them get away with it?"

Chapter 185 Mad Dog Lü Ci

Upon hearing this, Wang Ai laughed, "It seems everyone thinks that the Old Celestial Master's revenge on the Quanxing Sect is reasonable and normal."

"If our family or sect is harmed by Quanxing, are we just going to swallow our anger?"

The two seemed to be on the side of the old master, but neither of them revealed any truly decisive ideas.

At this point, Chen Jinkui said, "We have to get to a conclusion eventually. This time, letting the old master do this has had a significant impact on the world of ordinary people."

"What should we do next? What if this kind of mess happens again?"

When differing opinions arose, Zhao Fangxu promptly spoke up: "There should indeed be a solution. This matter cannot be easily forgotten. As a successor of the Zhengyi sect, the Old Celestial Master possesses unparalleled power and should be subject to some form of restraint."

Na Ruhu nodded: "How can we control the power of the Old Celestial Master?"

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Mu You chuckled, drawing everyone's attention, "The only thing everyone is worried about right now is that the Old Celestial Master's power is too strong and out of control. Since that's the case, then let's prevent this power from being controlled."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu You said, word by word, "I have a suggestion: how about we cripple the Old Celestial Master?"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Although the idea had crossed everyone's mind, no one dared to bring it up, let alone actually do it.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Mu You continued, "Anyway, the old Celestial Master has nothing else to do now. He stays at the Celestial Master's Mansion. At worst, the company can arrange for people to protect Longhu Mountain, just like Master Jiekong. He has lost all his magic over the years, but he still makes a living."

Master Jiekong, suddenly prompted, simply smiled faintly and said, "You should make the decision on such matters. I have long since withdrawn from the mortal world."

It means they don't want to get involved in this matter.

After Mu You spoke, no one else took the initiative to respond.

Almost everyone harbored ulterior motives. Wang Ai's eyes darted around, gradually narrowing into slits.

While it's not everyone's wish to cripple the Celestial Master, such immense power belonging to someone else is ultimately a potential threat.

Just then, Lü Ci laughed.

His smile was sinister, and the scar on his face looked extremely frightening.

"Kill them if you want, they're just a bunch of Quanxing bastards, do you really think they're heroes?"

"You want to depose the Old Celestial Master? Among us here, who has the right to depose the Old Celestial Master?"

An unexpected person said something unexpected.

Even Lu Jin was surprised.

Lu Ci glared at him, "It's one thing for others, but you, Lu Jin, actually maintain a neutral stance when faced with this kind of situation. I really don't understand what you're thinking."

"If the Celestial Master were one of my family members, I would treat him like royalty every day. If I killed a few members of the Quanxing Sect, you could handle it?"

"Putting aside the old Celestial Master's qualifications, just today on the grassland, he slapped Lu Jin so hard he couldn't stand up. With that kind of strength, who has the right to deal with him?"

Seeing that Lü Ci was getting angrier and angrier, no one else dared to interrupt. Only Wang Ai said with a smile, "Hey, Lao Lü, you're still so impatient. Nobody said anything. We're still discussing it, discussing it."

Seeing this, Feng Zhenghao also said, "Yes, Uncle Lü, let's come up with a suitable solution."

Guan Shihua, who hadn't said a word, laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. "Lu Ci, you're such a stubborn mule, you'll never change."

The atmosphere was more harmonious, with everyone chatting and laughing.
