Chapter 2055 - 41: One Remaining
"As you can see, among the previous five master craftsmen, only one remains; the other four were killed by Ao’s Array."
"Once this matter is known by the families and students of those Martial Refining Artists, the Martial Arts Hall will inevitably face a disaster."
"Therefore, I’ve decided to hand Ao Cangsheng over to the Master to resolve Five Taoist Hall’s troubles."
"Yes! All for our Martial Arts Hall!"
"If it weren’t for the old man’s wisdom, we would have faced a disaster at Wudang today."
"Ao is a guest of Wudang, but he must also take responsibility for his actions."
The other three elders immediately began to endorse this old saying.
"So, is Elder Han’s work really hard?"
Wang Taibei glanced at Wang Zuhuan and others, sneering.
"I wouldn’t dare! Wang Zuhuan, as a Wudang elder, naturally has to solve Wudang’s problems!"
Wang Zuhuan waved his hand and straightened his face.
"Shameless!"
Seeing Wang Zuhuan’s shameless demeanor, Wang Yunbo couldn’t help but curse.
"Wang Zuhuan, you should be well aware of Ao’s identity. Do you still want to hand over that arrogant young lord?"
Understanding Wang Zuhuan’s wishful thinking, Wang Mingzhe couldn’t help but feel down.
"Yes, I know his identity, but that cannot be a reason for him to murder innocents!"
Wang Zuhuan showed righteousness and said coldly.
"What if I don’t want to hand over Mr. Ao?"
Wang Taibei knew it was impossible to reason with Wang Zuhuan, so he directly expressed his stance.
"This concerns the safety of Five Taoist Hall. I’m afraid it’s up to you to decide."
Wang Zuhuan looked coldly at Wang Taibei, speaking firmly.
"Really? Then why doesn’t Elder Han give it a try!"
Wang Taibei said with a sneer.
"Bang!"
While everyone was quarreling, a deep noise sounded not far away.
Soon after, a figure suddenly flew out from the formation, crashing onto the grassland ten-plus feet away, making a hole three to four feet wide.
Upon hearing the noise, they immediately looked over.
As their eyes fell upon an elderly man climbing out of the pit covered in blood, who else could it be except Lu Xingyu?
"Master Lu, are you alright?"
Seeing Lu Xingyu blasted out of the formation, one of Wang Tianyang’s attendants immediately stepped forward to help him.
Lu Xingyu looked embarrassed. He wiped the blood from his face and angrily said, "Five Taoist Hall, just wait. Today, you humiliated me in public. I will definitely make you pay!"
Lu Xingyu, furious, took a swig, waved goodbye to Wang Tianyang’s attendant, and turned away angrily.
Seeing this, Wang Taibei and others appeared stern, while Wang Zuhuan’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Ao Cangsheng had provoked Lu Xingyu and offended the five major artifact refiners. This was a big deal for them.
Wang Taibei sneered, and they continued their dispute.
"Do you want to oppose the Senate?"
Wang Zuhuan fumed.
Wang Taibei snorted, "I, Wang Taibei, only fight for the ancestral teachings. Anyone who violates the ancestral teachings, I, Wang Taibei, the first, will not agree."
"Very well! In that case, I’d like to see just how heavy you are!"
Wang Zuhuan’s eyes flashed as he turned away.
"Boom, boom!"
Not long after the confrontation, heavy footsteps sounded from afar.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Wang Taibei and the others’ expressions sank.
At this moment, they seemed to finally comprehend Wang Zuhuan’s intentions.
As the footsteps grew louder, four squads appeared simultaneously from all directions on the grassland.
The squad was immense and strong, with no less than 100 people in each team. Everyone’s face was filled with menace.
The squads had not yet stepped onto Qing Shan, but their aggressive aura quickly spread from the back mountain of Wudang.
"Wei Zheng of Biye Town greets the elders!"
"The hall of previous Mo Town was built by the marquis, greetings to the elders!"
"Han Wei, emissary from Zihuo Town Mansion, greets the elders!"
"The emissary from Moyue Town’s mansion must see the elders!"
As the four squads stepped onto the green, four middle-aged men dressed in sturdy attire rushed to Wang Zuhuan and others to greet.
Wang Zuhuan lightly waved his hand, "You’ve all arrived in time. Rise."
Upon hearing this, the four rose quickly and stood nearby with solemn expressions.
"Master, I’m asking you now. Do you want to fight for that boy?"
Seeing the four squads surrounding the green, Wang Zuhuan couldn’t help but sneer.
Regarding Wang Zuhuan’s display, Wang Taibei couldn’t help but smile, "I’m not afraid, so I won’t change my stance now!"
"Very well! Since you, Wang Taibei, have resolved to drag Five Taoist Hall into danger, I, on behalf of the Council, will remove your position as Hall Master."
"Without the position of Master, how do you issue Master’s orders?"
"Wang Zuhuan, who do you think you are? Why would you remove the Hall Master?"
Wang Zuhuan’s words immediately drew objections from Wang Mingzhe.
"Yes! There are seven members in the Elder Council’s pavilion, and our three voices were not heard. What qualifies you to represent the Elder Council’s pavilion?"
Wang Yunbo was full of indignation, not expecting Wang Zuhuan to resort to such measures.
"I may not represent the Elder Council’s pavilion to remove the Master, but I can ally with the Elder Council’s pavilion to liquidate the positions of the three of you elders."
"From now on, the new Senate comprises us four plus Wang Zheng, Wang Chaoyang, and Wang Qianxi."
"Our four just decided, effective immediately."
"From now on, the three of you are no longer Senators."
Wang Zuhuan had seemingly planned this. It was only upon Wang Taibei and others’ arrival that he announced this decision.
This statement shocked many.
No one had expected that in an instant, Wang Zuhuan would team up with the other three Senators to oust the other three.
This move immediately fueled the anger of Wang Mingzhe, Wang Yunbo, and Wang Zongfan.
They had long anticipated that, one day, they would tear the surface with Wang Zuhuan and others.
But they hadn’t expected it to come to this.
"Wang Zuhuan, I don’t accept your decision!"
"I disagree with your view. What right do you have to remove our Senate?"
"Yes! Do you think you can shadow all of Five Taoist Hall with your hand?"
The three opposing Senators were furious, glaring at Wang Zuhuan and shouting.
"Why? Just follow the Martial Arts Hall’s rules! According to Church regulations, at critical moments, a Senator may be suspended or removed."
"As long as more than half of the Senators agree, the decision is valid."
"Now, four elders have agreed to this decision. What else do you have to say? Trouble? Can’t you even recognize the rules?"
Wang Zuhuan suddenly cited the hall’s rules, stepping forward.
"Wang Zuhuan, don’t force me with the hall’s rules!"
Wang Mingzhe was the angriest, pointing furiously at Wang Zuhuan.
"I’m merely following Church regulations. How can I suppress you? Do you wish to see Five Taoist Hall fall into a path of no return? How can I let you succeed!"
Wang Zuhuan’s face was full of righteousness, his voice like a bell.
"Now that these four are no longer Wudang’s elders and bosses, who else is willing to support Bao Da?"
Under Wang Zuhuan’s fierce presence, Wang Chongyi quickly rushed to Wang Taibei’s back, speaking loudly.
Upon hearing this, several individuals behind Wang Taibei immediately began whispering among themselves.
Soon after, a group of people stepped out from among the crowd, entering Wang Zuhuan’s camp.
Seeing these people leaving one by one, Wang Taibei’s face grew more somber.
Fortunately, dozens of Wulong Guards did not turn against Wang Zuhuan because of his words.
"Come, bring that boy Ao here!"
Wang Taibei lifted his left hand, and a large palm instantly fell from the sky as he sent Bao Da flying.
"Master, I’m angry!"
Wang Taibei’s actions again attracted the siege of the four men.
Wang Taibei was a true dragon strong man, three of the five men were also true dragon strong men.
The other two were world-class.
As soon as Wang Taibei made a move, the other four strong men immediately surrounded and attacked.
