Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Elder Hall Seizes Power

Lu Xiao looked toward the source of the sound, as three figures stepped forward.

The three old men appeared to be of considerable age, seemingly as aged as Xuanyuan Panshi.

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, knowing without a guess that these were certainly the so-called upper echelons of Xuanyuan Tomb.

"Sect Leader, they’re from the Elder Hall," Xuanyuan Longkai murmured quietly, his expression tensing slightly.

The Elder Hall of Xuanyuan Tomb was indeed full of bigwigs.

Each member of the Elder Hall held a position of critical importance in Xuanyuan Tomb.

Moreover, when the old ancestor was not around, it was the Elder Hall that governed Xuanyuan Tomb.

Of course, what Xuanyuan Longkai was most wary of was the power of the Elder Hall.

The Elder Hall was not large, consisting of precisely eleven people.

But all eleven were of the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer.

And they were exceptionally strong within the Half-Immortal Realm Ninth Layer, especially the Hall Master of the Elder Hall, who had already taken a step Above Half-Immortal, reaching the Half-Immortal Invincible Realm.

"So it is the esteemed elders, are you here to cheer on my cleansing of Xuanyuan Tomb?" Lu Xiao looked at the incoming trio.

All three furrowed their brows, how are we supposed to respond to that statement?

"The Junior Sect Leader’s cleansing of Xuanyuan Tomb is all well and good, but it seems a bit too domineering."

"Executing all eight elders and one Hall Master from the Recruitment Hall is a bit excessive."

"And appointing a Transcendence Realm as a Hall Master is also quite inappropriate."

"Each Hall Master of Xuanyuan Tomb, to some extent, represents the face of Xuanyuan Tomb, and the Transcendence Realm... is too weak."

The arguments of the three were quite logical.

Lu Xiao nodded, if you’re going to talk facts and reason, then I can have a chat with you.

"Then according to your views, what should I do?" asked Lu Xiao.

"First investigate, then clarify the evidence, and finally submit it to the Elder Hall for review."

"So you’re saying that the Elder Hall also has a supervisory duty?" Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed, the Elder Hall was established initially to supervise the Xuanyuan disciples, including the Sect Leader," the three answered with a nod.

Lu Xiao sneered, "So, what exactly have you all been supervising these years?"

"Did you uncover any wrongdoing when the Recruitment Hall’s Hall Master and the eight elders were corrupt and embezzling?"

"Do you know how many talents they have turned away and how many fools they’ve recruited over the years?"

"The Recruitment Hall is critical for infusing new blood into Xuanyuan Tomb. If it’s rotten, it’s the foundations of the entire Xuanyuan Tomb that are being destroyed, don’t you understand?"

"Or is it that you actually knew, but also took benefits, so you chose to turn a blind eye?"

Lu Xiao’s words left the elders trembling.

This... our new Sect Leader, is he this slick with words?

We thought he was only good for fighting and killing.

Turns out, he’s smart, too.

Worthy of being the old ancestor’s disciple, he really has some substance.

"Indeed, we have been negligent in our supervision, and we do not deny it," they admitted.

"But we also cannot agree with the Junior Sect Leader’s methods. They are too violent and too aggressive."

"For hundreds of years since its creation, Xuanyuan Tomb has always valued balance and benevolence, and what the Junior Sect Leader is doing is not good."

Lu Xiao pursed his lips. It seemed these three elders weren’t here to exact punishment, but rather to lay the groundwork for negotiating terms.

"So?"

"Therefore, we, the Elder Hall, hope that the Junior Sect Leader will accept our supervision for the next ten years."

"In some important decisions, to take the advice of our Elder Hall."

"After ten years, all power will be returned to the Junior Sect Leader, and the Elder Hall will no longer intervene."

So that was their angle.
