Zongwu: Rebellion against Shaolin Temple and joining the Hehuan Sect - Chapter 33 Forced into the Palace

There is a bluestone throne in the middle of the hall, and on the throne, a graceful figure sits down, with hair as black as ink, skin as white as snow, and eyebrows like willow leaves. Although she is wearing a loose black robe, one can still feel the graceful body hidden under the clothes.

Jin Ping'er was not in a good condition at this moment, her breathing was fluctuating, and it was obvious that she had just fought with someone.

The situation of the Hehuan Sect is not good either. There are powerful enemies outside and treacherous officials inside.

In addition to Jin Ping'er's injury, many elders and disciples in the hall were also injured. A serious atmosphere enveloped the entire hall.

The cold eyes had been fixed on Jin Ping'er in the hall. After hearing the elder's caring words, the cold expression on her beautiful face eased a little, "After a series of attacks, my internal strength has been slightly depleted, but it's not a big deal."

"The people from the three major sects are so shameless. They are clearly no match for the sect leader, but they rely on their numbers to adopt the tactic of fighting in a round-robin battle. Even if they win, it is an unfair victory." A young female disciple couldn't help but speak out.

"Yes, it's too shameless."

"Why didn't you dare come when the old master was here?"

"If the old master were still alive, let alone the three major sects, even the six major sects would have nothing to fear."

The disciple's words served as an introduction, triggering everyone's complaints.

......

Seeing that everyone on the other side felt that it was unfair, Luo Yiyi signaled an elder to stand up:

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. They stopped moving and their voices became much quieter.

"First, tell me the information we got." Jin Ping'er waved her hand to signal the scout in charge of intelligence in the hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the three major sects have sent people to besiege our sect for two days. During this period, the two sides have fought several times, and each has won and lost. However, the other side relies on their large numbers and always outnumbers the weak. Our disciples have been attacked from all sides and suffered heavy losses. As a result, the gap in strength between the two sides has gradually widened." A scout in black raised his hand to report.

"What's the news about the person who was sent out to report the incident?" an elder asked.

After hearing the news from the scouts, everyone in the hall felt a bad mood.

"The sect suffered heavy losses, and external assistance was fruitless. I think the sect's inheritance is about to be cut off." The elder of Luo Yiyi's faction took the opportunity to speak.

"With a powerful enemy at the doorstep, the elders do not think of ways to repel the enemy, but instead say these discouraging words. What is your intention?" Jin Ping'er asked with a cold face.

Seeing this, Luo Yiyi took the opportunity to ask coldly: "My dear sect master, regarding today's incident, may I ask if you have any good strategy to repel the enemy? Can you repel the enemy with just two or three inspiring words?"

Glancing down, he realized that it would be futile to refute with words at this moment. If he directly shot this person to death, there would be no reason to justify it. What's more, it would also weaken his own strength, which was not a wise move.

Jin Ping'er remained silent and could only exercise and regulate her breathing secretly, allowing the opponents to express their opinions.

"It would be great if the old sect master was here." An elder said, implying that the old sect master was more reliable than the new one.

"The old sect leader has passed away. No matter how much we miss him, it will be useless. We still have to rely on the new sect leader."

"Perhaps if we change our thinking, the current situation will be better."

"Even if we can't change the situation, at least we can prevent the inheritance from being cut off."

The atmosphere off the field was in an uproar. Seeing that Jin Ping'er said nothing, Luo Yiyi's group became even more presumptuous.

"Under the current circumstances, the previous method is no longer feasible. We have to change the method."

"Even if the sect leader doesn't change, the person in charge will probably have to be replaced, and it has to be someone with stronger abilities. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this." He didn't continue the conversation, and it was unclear whether he was hinting at it intentionally or if he didn't dare.

"Master Jin, when the former master returned, he overwhelmed everyone's opposition and became the master by relying on his profound inner strength. Do you still remember the promise you made at that time?" The elder asked without emotion, his words directed at Jin Ping'er.

"Of course I remember. It is our duty to restore the glory of Hehuan." Jin Ping'er responded domineeringly.

"Is this the glory you mentioned? If so, I'm afraid the elders really don't want to see the sect destroyed, so they may have to appoint capable people." The great elder continued his verbal offensive.

"I think what the Great Elder said is right. I've just arrived at the Hehuan Sect. I'm familiar with both Sect Master Jin and the Great Elder. It doesn't matter who becomes the Sect Master. In short, we have to help the sect solve its problems instead of making it like it is now." A female disciple who thought she was a reasonable person spoke up for justice. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that she had been bought by Luo Yiyi.

Hearing this, Jin Ping'er also became angry: "It seems that the enemy has not yet broken through, and has begun to disintegrate from the inside."

Jin Ping'er stood up and replied coldly, "Today, the foreign enemy is invading. I have no intention of arguing with you. Those who do not want to recognize me as the leader can choose the chosen one you recognize to lead you to repel the enemy."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Great Elder, Luo Yiyi and others.

"Since you think my policies cannot lead you to glory, then just follow the person who can lead you to success. However, whether the path is right or not is not something you can just talk about. You must always prove yourself with actual actions." Jin Ping'er certainly knew what the Great Elder was thinking. He wanted to take advantage of this crisis to bring everyone else to put pressure on the Sect Master. If he rashly agreed to give up the position of Sect Master, it would be easy to give up but difficult to come back.

If it weren't for the gratitude towards the old patriarch and the invasion of foreign enemies, we would have dealt with these traitors long ago.

I just can't bear to destroy the old patriarch's foundation. Besides, we are facing internal and external troubles at the moment. It is not suitable to stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies and weaken our own strength.

Otherwise, I will not show mercy to those who commit crimes against my superiors.
