The quarrels outside continued, so Chen Qiang was not in a hurry to go out.

Instead, he held his breath and concentrated, used Qi Condensation Technique to completely cover his breath, and eavesdropped from behind the main hall.

Only to hear the clear voice from before sounded again.

"Of course I know, but the more powerful the enemy is, the more we should unite, shouldn't we?"

"Otherwise, when the enemy really comes, how will we deal with it?"

"Xiao Bai, Shang Nu, Lao Lin, you guys should have a word!"

The clear voice was a bit anxious.

"Ahem!"

There was a low dry cough, followed closely by an old voice.

"Qingfeng, it's not that I'm targeting you intentionally. It's just that in this situation, with Elder Chen's qualifications and strength, it's obviously difficult to convince the public."

"We, the Divine Sword Sect, need more powerful people to intimidate other young people who are still watching!"

"Otherwise, we may not be able to survive until the sect master comes out of seclusion, and we will perish!"

The clear voice suddenly fell into silence.

At this time, the other three people spoke one after another.

"That's right! Senior Brother Qingfeng, although you have advanced cultivation and extraordinary strength."

"But this time, seven super sects have joined forces. Even if you side with Chen Qiang, you have almost no chance of winning."

"Or do you really believe that Chen Qiang is capable of killing the Golden Immortal?"

The person who spoke was a young female voice, and her words caused a silence all around.

"Xiaobai, you..."

After a while, the clear voice sounded, as if he wanted to refute.

"Qingfeng, what Xiaobai said makes sense."

"Although I have lost to him before, it was just a competition of swordsmanship, not cultivation."

"If I attack with all my strength, do you think Chen Qiang can block one and a half of my moves?"

"Qingfeng, stand with us."

"As long as our four great sect-protecting swordsmen work together, we have the right to directly remove him as the acting sect leader."

"What's more, we still have the Supreme Elder sitting in charge, and until the sect leader comes out of seclusion, everything will be solved, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qiang's expression turned strange.

Because the person who spoke was familiar to him. He was none other than Lin Haotian, who ranked fourth among the four protector swordsmen who had lost to him.

"That is to say, the Xiaobai, Xiangnu, and Lao Lin that Qingfeng mentioned just now are the four great protector swordsmen of the Divine Sword Sect."

"The first ranked Jian Qingfeng, the second ranked Bai Feiyan, the third ranked Jinnu, and his defeated general Lin Haotian."

"That old man should be Taishang Elder Jiankun, right?"

"It's a bit surprising that Jian Qingfeng, whom I have never met, actually supports me."

"There is only one waiter left, I don't know what my attitude is."

Just as Chen Qiang was pondering in his mind, the last of the four protector sword fairies spoke.

A very mature female voice just said five words: "I listen to the sect master."

The implication is that he supports Chen Qiang.

"In this way, the situation becomes interesting. Among the five senior officials, three are opposed and two support me."

"As for their respective purposes, it is currently unclear."

"Haha, that's interesting!"

Chen Qiang thought to himself.

Then he no longer concealed his breath and walked out in a swaggering manner.

At the same time, he smiled heartily and said, "I heard everything you just said."

"It doesn't matter, I had no choice but to be honest, I didn't even think of it."

"In this case, what if I give you the position of acting sect leader?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

The originally noisy hall immediately became quiet.

Chen Qiang's sudden move was surprising.

Especially, in front of a group of senior elders, he openly expressed his unwillingness to assume the position of acting sect leader.

How unexpected this is!

But Chen Qiang didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and continued: "You are right. Heavenly Court and the six super sects are sending troops together, and our Divine Sword Sect is indeed in danger of being destroyed."

"As a new elder, I don't have much experience, and I don't have the strength to overpower others. I am indeed not suitable to be the acting sect leader."

"So if I take the initiative to withdraw, no one will object, right?"

As soon as Chen Qiang said these words, the atmosphere in the hall became even more stagnant.

No one expected that they originally just wanted to force Chen Qiang to give up the throne, but who would have thought that Chen Qiang would actually offer to step down as the sect leader!

Although the results of abdication and resignation are the same, the meanings are completely different.

"Chen Qiang, don't mess around."

"I, Jian Wuhen, represent the Law Enforcement Hall and will also be on your side!"

The first one to express his stance was the law enforcement elder Jian Wuhen. Apart from the Supreme Elder and the four great sect-protecting sword immortals, he was the one with the most real power.

Others were also a little surprised. They did not expect that the first person to publicly express support for Chen Qiang would be Jian Wuhen.

Immediately afterwards, it was Jian Qingfeng.

"That's right, Elder Chen. I believe in the sect master's vision. Since she has asked you to be the acting sect master, there must be no problem."

"I support you too!"

Finally, there was the wine girl. She didn't say any nonsense and stood directly behind Chen Qiang.

However, just when the three Supreme Elders were about to speak and compete for the position of acting sect leader again, Chen Qiang waved his hand.

"There's no need to argue, I really want to step down."

"To be honest, I was seriously injured. If it hadn't been for Yue'er's appointment, I would have been in seclusion to heal my injuries."

"Since you have a wish, I will fulfill it myself."

"But, after all, Yue'er has passed on the position of acting sect leader to me. Even if I have to step down, I have to find a suitable replacement."

"So, the three of you, do you want to discuss who will be the acting sect leader?"

Looking at Chen Qiang, whose breath was scattered, everyone felt that he was not faking it. In other words, Chen Qiang was really going to relinquish his position as acting sect leader!

Bai Feiyan and Lin Haotian looked at each other, obviously thinking about it.

However, before the two of them could speak, the Supreme Elder took a step forward without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "I am the most senior person here, and I must be the acting sect leader."

"How about it, everyone has no objections, right?"

As soon as the Supreme Elder finished speaking, more than a dozen senior elders echoed, and Chen Qiang secretly remembered that these were obviously people from the Supreme Elder's side.

"Oh? Isn't this inappropriate?"

"I was just saying that in order to resist the alliance of the seven major sects, absolute strength is needed to suppress the heroes."

"With your cultivation level worthy of becoming a Golden Immortal, can you withstand the siege of the seven major sects?"

Bai Feiyan narrowed her eyes and revealed a trace of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"What do you mean!"

"I admit that I can't beat you, but I am the Supreme Elder. You dare to touch me even if you try!"

The Supreme Elder is full of confidence and not afraid at all.

Hearing this, Chen Qiang narrowed his eyes and flashed with cold light.

As he expected, someone actually jumped out to compete for the position of acting sect leader.

At present, it seems that the two parties are competing, but Chen Qiang's eyes are watching Lin Haotian, because he discovered that Lin Haotian is also at the first level of the Golden Immortal.
