Chapter 935: The General Meeting Begins (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Sect Master," Huang Chuan glanced at Gao Lin and his face filled with arrogance as he said, "May we begin the general meeting now?"
Gao Lin's expression was slightly unsightly but he ignored Huang Chuan's provocation. His gaze was full of anxiety as he looked into the distance with a concerned expression. He was unsure what had happened to the Holy Doctor; it was already midday and that man still has not arrived!
"Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait?
Huang Chuan scoffed and shot Gao Lin an ugly look. His face was filled with scorn as he said, "Don't forget that other than a few physicians who have made the trip to the Medicine Sect, the cultivators of Wind Valley are here as well. Do you actually want to make the cultivators of Wind Valley wait?"
Gao Lin's expression sank. He glanced at the ugly look on Elder Feng's face and his heart thumped immediately.
If this had been anyone else, he would still be able to delay the meeting with his authority as the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect. However, Wind Valley was far too powerful and if he were to let them wait any longer, he was afraid that...
Just as Gao Lin was becoming increasingly more anxious, a few figures finally arrived and sauntered in slowly. When he saw the old man's familiar face, his heart began to relax and he sighed with relief, "Since that's the case, let's begin the general meeting!"
"Hmph!"
Huang Chuan also noticed the arrival of Gu Ruoyun and her Master. His expression sank as he scoffed and turned around while his eyes filled with malice.
After a long pause, he hardened his elderly features and spoke eerily, "Before we begin the Medicine Sect's general meeting, there's something that I want to say!"
"What is it?" Gao Lin furrowed his brows as he glanced at Huang Chuan and wondered what sort of commotion that old man was about to pull at a time like this.
"Hehe," Huang Chuan laughed icily and his venomous glare was like that of a poisonous snake's as it enveloping Gao Lin fixedly, "I don't think that you are suited for the Sect Master's position in the Medicine Sect any longer."
Gao Lin's expression sank while his eyes hid a brewing storm.
The initially bustling plaza was silenced by this declaration. All eyes turned in uniformity towards Huang Chuan as their gazes filled with shock. No one ever thought that Elder Huang would say such a thing in front of the great cultivators of the mainland!
"What did you say?" Gao Lin's questioned in a low voice, the hoarse sound in his throat made it difficult to hear any other emotion. His expression has turned exceptionally ashen as he glared icily at Huang Chuan's arrogant face, "Are you saying that I'm not fit to be the Medicine Sect's Sect Master? Then who is?"
Huang Chuan smiled arrogantly as he took one step forward, raised his chin and replied with a single word, "Me!"
Boom!
The crowd dove into a sensation. Initially, they had stared at Huang Chuan in shock but their gazes slowly became filled with a thick sense of disdain as well. However, because the Wind Valley cultivators were present, no one stepped out to speak though they were glaring contemptuously at Huang Chuan.
Gu Ruoyun curled her lips and turned her attention to the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley who was seated at the side of the plaza. A light flashed in her eyes.
Even after hearing Huang Chuan's declaration, Feng Xiaoxiao still remained smiling like a breeze in a clear sky as if this matter does not concern her at all.
However, Gu Ruoyun knows that if Huang Chuan had not obtained Wind Valley's support, he would not possibly have had the courage to say such things.
It looks like Feng Xiaoxiao is not so simple at all! Gu Ruoyun lifted her lips into a smile and soon turned away.
Even though she had never met Feng Xiaoxiao before, her Master had described her to Gu Ruoyun as they were headed to the Medicine Sect. The fact that Feng Xiaoxiao had been able to overthrow Wind Valley's Lord's son and become the Young Valley Lord proves that she certainly has a strategic mindset!

"Elder Feng."
Feng Xiaoxiao sensed Gu Ruoyun's gaze and frowned mildly. The woman's green robes reflected against her pretty pupils as she asked in a hushed tone, "Who's that lady next to the Holy Doctor?"
Elder Feng glanced at Gu Ruoyun and answered, "If my guess is right, she must be the one who was responsible for severely injuring Huang Feifei and the one who had forced Huang Chuan to apologize."
"Really?" Feng Xiaoxiao fell silent. After a long pause, she spoke again, "She's very dangerous!"
Elder Feng was completely shocked by her statement.
After all, his Lady has always been splendidly gifted from a young age and was the number one cultivator amongst the younger generation in Wind Valley! Through her own efforts, she had managed to oust her half-brother to become the Young Valley Lord of Wind Valley!
Furthermore, even in the First City, she was certainly one of the top gifted cultivators amongst the youngsters!
Yet, she was now saying that such a young woman was dangerous?
Based on Elder Feng's point of view, he simply could not see the danger in Gu Ruoyun at all no matter how hard he tried!
"Eldest Lady, please forgive my ignorance, what you really mean is..."
"Elder Feng," Feng Xiaoxiao stared at Gu Ruoyun seriously and spoke to Elder Feng leisurely, "I know that Huang Chuan's actions today are a result of your endorsement. Since that's the case, we'll let him be as long as Wind Valley isn't dragged along with him. There's no need to bother too much over what he does. As for this woman, she is very dangerous indeed! I don't know why I feel this way but I'm sure that once she has grown, not a single soul would be able to control her!"
"Eldest Lady, I don't think I agree with that! This woman may have considerable talents but this was based on the standards in the outside world! Eldest Lady, you are the Young Valley Lord of the First City. Your talents are mesmerizing and beyond compare. No matter how powerful she is, she can't possibly be a match for you, Eldest Lady."
Feng Xiaoxiao smiled gently but the light in her eyes were unreadable.
"Elder Feng, my talents may be quite good but this mainland is vast. No one can guarantee whether a peerless genius like her would not appear or not."
Instantly, Elder Feng fell silent. Not too long after that, a malicious light flashed in his eyes as he said, "If that's the case, Eldest Lady, why don't we entice this woman so we can be the ones to control her. This way, no matter how dangerous she becomes, she will belong under us."
"No." Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Don't judge her simply because she looks so cool and calm on the surface. In truth, she's a very proud person. Someone like her would never allow herself to remain at the edge of a blade willingly. We cannot control her."
We cannot control her?
Elder Feng was shocked, "So, we'll ignore her? Just like that?"
"It's best not to make an enemy of someone like her. If we do that, we shall have to obliterate her entirely in order to prevent the chance of a future disaster!" As she spoke, the smile on Feng Xiaoxiao's face slowly vanished and was replaced with an austere and severe look, "Furthermore, she must be killed under the most definite of circumstances. If she escapes, our troubles will never end! However, we don't have any deep animosity with her at the moment so there's no need for us to be on guard. As for Huang Chuan, there's no need to for you to bother about him. I can find tens of thousands of other dogs after discarding this one."
To her, Huang Chuan was merely a lackey of Wind Valley, they could definitely live without him!
Elder Feng had something else to say but, in the end, he had kept his thoughts to himself. He then stared skeptically at Gu Ruoyun, unsure of what capabilities that woman held which would cause the Eldest Lady to make such a deep evaluation of her.

"Hahaha!"
Just as Huang Chuan made his declaration, a burst of laughter could be heard. Gao Lin suppressed his rage and showed a cold smile on his face, "You? Are you sure that your qualifications are enough to gain you the Sect Master's position in the Medicine Sect? Elder Huang, you think too highly of yourself! Today, I'd like to see how you plan to push me out of my position as the Sect Master."
Huang Chuan's eyes gradually filled with disdain. He then spoke in a tone completely devoid of courtesy, "Alright, I'll prove my capabilities to you right now! I wonder how many elders would like me to take charge of the Medicine Sect?"
Hearing this, Gao Lin laughed icily again. However, before he could finish his laugh, his elderly face suddenly froze in shock.
An elder had stepped forward and was making his way towards Huang Chuan. The elder had looked ashamed and uneasy at first but his expression was soon replaced with a sense of determination. A good number of elders then followed him as well and headed towards Huang Chuan. All of their expressions were similar to the first elder's, their faces were clouded by a layer of guilt.
"You... All of you..."
Gao Lin's face was now full of rage. He never thought that this would happen. When had Huang Chuan managed to bribe so many of the Medicine Sect's elders?
Somehow, he had always been kept in the dark.
"Elder Tian, Elder Qing, what are you doing?" Lin Yang was enraged. He stepped up beside Gao Lin and stared at the elders who had stepped out with an ashen face, "Have you all forgotten who was the one who had supported you to your current stage? And you're all treating the Sect Master with such blatant ungratefulness now?"
The one who had been addressed as Elder Qing laughed coldly as the guilty look on his face vanished into thin air, followed by Lin Yang's words.
"I just think that Elder Huang... Ah no, Sect Master Huang is more qualified for this position! Gao Lin has been shielding an outsider so protectively, what right does he have to remain as the Sect Master?"
This was definitely not the truth!
The reason why so many elders have turned traitor was because Elder Huang has given them a promise. He promised them that as long as he was elected as the Sect Master, he would ensure that they would all breakthrough to the rank of a high-level Martial Supreme!
To become a high-level Martial Supreme was a dream held by all on the mainland!
When they witnessed Huang Chuan's breakthrough to a high-level Martial Supreme in a single night, they had all believed in his words!
Of course, these elders were completely unaware that Huang Chuan would never honor his promise! After all, the reason why he had been able to achieve a breakthrough was because he had received help from Wind Valley. However, Wind Valley would never be so kind to help every elder in the Medicine Sect achieve their breakthroughs!
"Elder Qing, the previous matter was initially Huang Chuan's fault. The Sect Master had sided with reason, not favor!" Lin Yang laughed frostily as his eyes filled with sarcasm, "Yet, in the end, not one of us would have thought that you would all be so unreasonable. I really don't know what benefits Huang Chuan has given you to entice you to side with him."
Huang Chuan has indeed given them benefits but no one would ever admit to that.
"Benefits?" Elder Qing curtly replied, "Do you think that everyone is as selfish as the Sect Master? He's only helping Gu Ruoyun because the Holy Doctor has given him benefits! A Sect Master who punishes an elder of the Medicine Sect for the sake of profit is beneath our dignity! I believe that only Sect Master Huang is fit for the position of Sect Master. At the same time, he is the only one who deserves our loyalty!"
At this moment, Gao Lin was shaking with anger and his expression was filled with rage. Just then, he felt a hand on his shoulder and heard Bai Zhongtian's consoling voice in his ear.
"You should rejoice for having the opportunity to see their true colors. After this, you may do a bit a spring cleaning in the Medicine Sect."
Gao Lin's initially furious elderly features became steadier when he heard those words.
The Holy Doctor is right, I should rejoice for having the opportunity to see their true colors in case they end up selling out the Medicine Sect for a bit of profit in the future and I might not even be aware of it.
"Indeed, it's time to clean up the Medicine Sect now."
