Chapter 387 Cause and effect, grafting flowers and grafting trees
Li Zhi himself did not expect that when he broke through the Void Refining Realm, he would actually cause a catastrophe.
Now he is in the Canglan Sect, protected by the mountain-protecting formation. Although this catastrophe was violent, it was still stopped by the formation.
Li Zhi felt terrible in his heart at this moment. He had led the catastrophe in the sect and forced him out of the mountain-protecting formation. This responsibility was something he, as a true senior brother, might not be able to withstand.
All the disciples, elders, and deacons of the sect were also very angry about this. This person was so ignorant and fearful of disaster that he hid in the sect.
What if there is an enemy attacking at this time? The consumption of the mountain-protecting formation is huge, and the interests of the sect are closely related to that of others. The consumption of the formation must be borne by the sect and the entire Canglan Sect.
This person's current consumption of the power of the formation is equivalent to using a public weapon for private use, harming the interests of everyone in the sect!
Make them even more angry.
People with insufficient status can only sulk, but those with high authority have recognized the location of Qingjing Peak and the identity of the person who caused the catastrophe. Now they are heading towards the bamboo forest where the sect leader is always present. After receiving the decree I have to go and accuse him!
Unlike others, Pei Xuanzhen's purpose of coming here was to intercede for Li Zhi.
But helplessly, they were blocked from the bamboo forest by the great elder's light shield and were not allowed to enter. The anxious people were like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth outside, staring at Tianjie who was still chopping down the Thunder Dragon in a steady stream. Long sigh!
Different from the anxious mood of everyone outside, the leader of Canglan Sect, the person who should be the most anxious, now looks relaxed and happy.
Sitting deep in the bamboo forest with a smile on his face, drinking tea!
Although the great elder already understood what the sect leader meant, he still felt uneasy.
"It's almost time to step forward. The formation's consumption is still secondary. The sky thunder is blocked, and its power becomes more and more terrifying. After a while, Li Zhi can't stop it, and we will be in trouble!"
"No rush, no rush, it's just to make him owe a big favor, so it's easy to handle. You'll be the bad guy, and I'll be the good guy."
"That kid is full of tricks. I'm afraid I can't hide it from him with this little trick!"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if I can't hide it. Anyway, I paid the price with real money and silver. It's not just what I say!"
The sect master drank all the tea in the cup and stood up immediately, "It's almost time. People outside are also waiting impatiently. It's time for us to appear!"
After Li Zhi found out that his calamity was blocked by the mountain-protecting formation, he thought for a moment, then immediately got up and rushed out of the sect.
The sect was prohibited from flying or moving, so Li Zhi was impatient and had to stride towards the outside of the sect.
Halfway there, suddenly, a white light flashed in front of him. The sect leader and the great elder walked out of the void with a group of people and stopped him.
"Li Zhi, let me ask you, is this disaster caused by you?"
As soon as the Great Elder appeared, he shouted loudly, with a majestic look and a thunderous voice!
"It happened because of my disciple. This was not my intention. It was unexpected. I will bear all the consequences. However, at this time, I hope that the great elder will quickly lead me out of the sect, lead away the catastrophe, and make up for it!"
"Hmph! Isn't it possible that you, a monk in the Realm of Truth, can bear the consumption of the mountain-protecting formation? Just talk big!"
An elder from a clan snorted from behind.
"Moreover, this matter has seriously threatened the safety of the sect. Li Zhi, as the true disciple, you actually did such a thing, putting the safety of the sect in danger? How will you lead the disciples in the future?"
"Elders and sect masters, Senior Brother Li made an unintentional mistake and cannot be entirely blamed on him. Moreover, the natural disaster is dangerous. If you knew you were defeated, would you have foolishly turned into ashes? The mountain-protecting formation is meant to protect everyone, Li Senior brother is also a member of the sect, so he deserves the protection of the great formation!"
Pei Xuanzhen spoke at this time and interceded for Li Zhi.
Moreover, this woman has now performed beyond her level and successfully turned this matter into a philosophical question.
The connection and opposition between personal interests and collective interests.
This kind of thing is inherently unclear, and you can't explain it even if you talk about it. It can be said that it is extremely smart to divert the contradiction and muddy the water at this time.
Sure enough, an elder from the sect immediately refuted dissatisfiedly, "How can he, Li Zhi, represent all the disciples of the sect? Should he put his personal interests above those of the sect?"
"But, aren't the sect's interests just the sum of everyone's interests? Without personal interests, how can there be sect interests?"
The elder of the sect was so angry that he could not speak after being contradicted by Pei Xuanzhen. This was not because he was inferior in words, but because the person who interceded with Li Zhi was the flagship figure of their sect, Pei Xuanzhen.
This makes him unable to say a lot of things at this time. If it were an elder from a poor family, he would have too much to say!
The sect leader and the first elder were also amazed by Pei Xuanzhen's trick, and thought to themselves, this girl is not stupid, it turns out that she didn't care before, but now you have used your brain, isn't this a good thing?
Several elders from poor families were also surprised at this time. Li Zhi's appearance had a positive effect on their voice in the sect, so they were not willing to see Li Zhi fall because of this matter.
Coming here at this time, he also came to help Li Zhi with the purpose of punishing him more than he deserved.
But after being robbed by Pei Xuanzhen, he instantly changed his mind.
"Although Xuanzhen's words are reasonable, it cannot be said that Li Zhi has no fault. In my opinion, it is better to discuss the consequences than Sanqi!"
In the name of opposing Pei Xuanzhen, this person spoke for Li Zhi, and his cooperation was extremely clever.
But the clan elders are not fools. Pei Xuan is really not easy to antagonize. If you dare to come forward now, it will be over if I don't antagonize you.
"In your opinion, Elder Wang has such a arrogant tone. Those who don't know think that you can replace me as the chief law enforcement elder of Canglan Sect? Are you still 30/70? Why, is Li Zhi only only 70% at fault? What if? In my opinion, that’s 100%! No, he is still the true disciple and sets an example, so adding another 20% is a 120% fault!”
Elder Wang, who was born in a poor family, turned blue and white in the face due to the rebuke. It had nothing to do with anything else. This person was too rude in his words and didn't show any dignity at all.
Li Zhi looked at the group of people in front of him, using himself as a breakthrough point to compete with each other.
It was immediately clear why the clan leader and the great elder were so urgent about the issue between the humble clan and the clan.
Now it seems that it has really accumulated to the point where tit for tat must be resolved, and if it is delayed any longer, something will happen!
But at this moment, although he was grateful to Pei Xuanzhen and Elder Wang for speaking up for him, he still knew what was going to happen.
If it had turned out that way, he might have shied away from his responsibilities and used Pei Xuanzhen's ideas.
But now, he finally understood where his previous actions of cause and effect should have come from.
It turns out that this is where it is, and this is just a beginning, a beginning, and there will be changes in the future.
This matter is serious for Li Zhi. It is no longer a simple issue of division of responsibilities, but a matter of cause and effect, which is inevitable. The catastrophe is the external manifestation of cause and effect.
After avoiding the catastrophe, other things will come to the door later. It is inevitable to avoid it. Instead of struggling in vain, it is better to take the initiative to respond.
"Everyone, there is no need to say more. Li Zhi knows clearly in his heart that I will bear all the responsibility for this matter. I will have no complaints about the punishment. It's just that time is urgent now. Please ask the sect master to lead me out of the mountain and let the disciples solve the natural disaster first. Return to the sect and accept punishment!"
"Senior Brother Li, why do you have to"
When Pei Xuanzhen saw that Li Zhi had taken the initiative to recognize him, he immediately felt like the clan elder just now.
I worked hard to protect your interests here, but I voted directly! What a deal!
Feelings of grievance suddenly arose in my heart.
On the contrary, the two elders and the sect leader, who had ulterior motives, were a little surprised after hearing Li Zhi's words.
"Did this kid already sense my thoughts and admit it directly?"
The sect leader thinks more than the great elder.
The matter of the Heavenly Tribulation just happened to happen, but even if it didn't happen, he himself would set up a similar situation for Li Zhi.
Of course, it does not rule out that Li Zhi has a sense of responsibility and will take full responsibility for his mistakes and never back down.
This is naturally good. If this kid guesses my thoughts through Lao Qi's temptation, it would be a bit scary. This kid is also beyond my control. I tied him to the Canglan Sect's big house. On the boat, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.
Suddenly, the sect master's expression became uncertain.
The great elder thought that the sect master was still acting, and couldn't help but admire in his heart that the sect master's acting skills were getting more and more perfect.
Now it’s time to perform on your own too.
The Great Elder spoke majestically: "What you say makes sense. Since you, Li Zhi, are willing to accept the punishment, let me follow your words now! What do you think, Sect?"
The sect leader did not respond directly, and was still thinking in his mind. It was not until the great elder turned his head to look, that he slowly said: "Okay, let's resolve the natural disaster first, and come with me!"
As he spoke, the sect leader waved his sleeves, and he and Li Zhi escaped into the void at the same time and left the Canglan Sect. (End of chapter)
