"Even though Dusan entrusted you to guard the Talent Hall on his behalf, after so many years, we found that you simply don't have the potential and strength to be the hall master." Supreme Elder Wu didn't give him any face at all.

"Of course, if many people support you as the hall master tomorrow, we will have nothing to say. If the Ascension Sword also recognizes you as its master, we will then hand over Dusan's power-sealing ball and the Ascension Scepter to you." Seeing that Du Qi's face was getting darker and darker, Elder Cheng Tai Shang continued.

After hearing what Elder Wu said, Du Qi's eyes flickered, and finally revealed a gleam of determination to win.

"I hope the three supreme elders will not regret it by then." Du Qi's gaze fell on the sword of ascension in the hand of Supreme Elder Wu.

"No, don't worry." After saying this, Supreme Elder Wu turned around and went into his residence.

The other two supreme elders also turned around and entered.

"Palace Master, I didn't expect the three supreme elders would do this. What should we do?" Xue Yang looked at Du Qi who had a gloomy face.

"Xue Yang, you will stand on my side, right?" Du Qi looked at Xue Yang.

"I... I will definitely stand on the side of the Palace Master." Xue Yang said immediately after hesitating.

"Then gather all our people here." Du Qi said and walked away.

After decades of hard work, the entire Talent Hall is almost entirely his own people. Except for those stubborn elders who went into seclusion and some of Dusan's once loyal subordinates who left the Talent Hall, the rest are under his control.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the elders did not go into seclusion, and Dusan's once loyal subordinates did not leave. Instead, they were led by the elders to practice in secret and accumulate their energy.

Looking at Du Qi's departing back, a trace of depth flashed across Xue Yang's eyes.

In the residence of the three supreme elders.

"Baby Xi, there are many empty rooms on the east side. You can live anywhere you want." As the sky gradually darkened, Elder Cheng looked at Nangong Xi.

"Okay, thank you three supreme elders." Nangong Xi nodded.

The next day.

Nangong Xi and the others hid themselves and followed the three supreme elders to the square of Tianfu Hall.

Along the way, Nangong Xi discovered that the Talent Palace was really huge. It turned out that what he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg of the Talent Palace.

Doesn't that mean that although Du Qi is called the master of the Talent Hall, he only has such a small territory?

When Nangong Xi and his friends arrived at the square, it was already packed with people.

Du Qi, Xue Yang and another young man whom Nangong Xi had never seen before stood on the stage.

When they saw the three supreme elders coming, they quickly saluted.

"Du Jue, why did you come out of seclusion?" Elder Ying looked at the young man in surprise.

"I don't want to come out either, but...sigh..." All the helplessness was expressed in this sigh.

Nangong Xi looked at Du Jue with curiosity, and she found that Du Jue's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Du Sang's.

Could he be Grandpa Du’s grandson?

But that’s not right. Grandpa Du clearly said that he remained unmarried throughout his life, so where did his grandson come from?

Just when Nangong Xi looked at him, unexpectedly Du Jue actually smiled at Nangong Xi.

Nangong Xi: ...

Could this prevent me from seeing my invisible self?

Just when Nangong Xi was in doubt, she saw Du Jue looking at Du Sang beside her with excitement in his eyes.

Nangong Xi was sure that he could really see himself and others who were invisible, so Nangong Xi made a gesture to him to keep quiet, and Du Jue smiled and nodded to Nangong Xi.

"I understand." When Elder Ying saw Du Jue's depressed expression, he knew what was going on.

There must be some people who don't want to stand on Du Qi's side, so they pulled Du Jue out of seclusion.

The three supreme elders looked towards the square and found that the elders who had always claimed that they were in seclusion had all come out.

Standing behind them were the disciples who had previously applied to leave the Talent Hall to go out for training.

When Du Qi and Xue Yang saw them, their faces looked very ugly. After all, in their hearts, the position of Palace Master was something they were determined to win.

Now that they have caught Du Jue, these elders and disciples are back again, which is really a big threat to them.

"Jue'er, do you also want to be the palace master?" Du Qi looked at Du Jue, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.

"I haven't thought about it, but Elder Yu and the others said that if I don't come out, they will have nowhere to line up and the selection of the Palace Master won't be able to go ahead." Du Jue spread his hands helplessly.

"Jue'er, if you don't want to be the hall master, you can stand on my side." Du Qi's expression softened when he heard that.

"Third Uncle, don't you know that those who are forced to take sides have no right to take sides?" Du Jue was speechless.

"There is such a thing?" Du Qi frowned when he heard it.

"Don't worry, Third Uncle. If you are an honest person and have the ability to be the hall master, I believe everyone will see through you." Du Jue obviously had something else in his words.

Although he had been in seclusion these years, he knew something about the dirty things Du Qi had done.

Du Qi's face darkened when he heard this, but he had no way to refute it.

If I were truly open-minded, I wouldn't have to worry about my position as Palace Master being snatched away.

"Everyone knows that today is the most important day for our Tianfu Hall in decades. The new master of our Tianfu Hall will be born today." Elder Wu announced loudly.

Hearing the announcement from Elder Wu Taishang, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Although Du Qi has been called the Palace Master over the years, in fact his power is not comparable to that of the Palace Master.

The elders who were against Du Qi frowned worriedly upon hearing this. They knew that if Du Qi became the real hall master, the entire Talent Hall would become a purgatory on earth.

They really wanted to raise their concerns with the three supreme elders, but would the supreme elders believe them?

"Now everyone start choosing your side." Supreme Elder Wu looked at everyone.

"You must think it over carefully. The team you choose this time must be the hall master in your mind. You must also be prepared for the person on your side to lose the election as hall master." Just as everyone was getting ready to move, Supreme Elder Wu spoke again.

Elder Yu and his disciples stood up and stopped it without hesitation.

Just when Du Qi thought that the rest of the people would definitely stand on his side, he was dumbfounded!

He found that most of the people who should have stood on his side actually chose to stand on Xue Yang's side.

Du Qi looked at Xue Yang with cold eyes.

"Palace Master, don't look at me like that. This is everyone's choice and I can't do anything about it. Although I really want to stand on your side, the rules are there. Those who are chosen cannot stand on the side of others." Xue Yang looked helpless.

"Xue Yang, you actually betrayed me." Du Qi was almost driven crazy upon seeing this!

This Xue Yang was promoted by himself.
