Due to Qiao Yongyan's pursuit of Chu Lingfeng, this time heading to the Elder Council's secluded place, Qin Tian only brought Qiao Zheng and Liu Yu along.

The Elder Council's residence is at Hidden Cloud Mountain, a hundred kilometers away from Qilin Mountain.

On the peak of the mountain stands a majestic hall, the place where the Elder Council of the Qilin Mountain Sect recluse and cultivate.

These people are acknowledged old monsters of the Qilin Mountain Sect, residing here either for retirement or to break through to higher realms.

Every single one of them is over a hundred years old!

On the way, Qin Tian learned from Qiao Zheng that these elders, each reliant on their high cultivation and seniority, have always held themselves in high regard, dismissing others, even Ning Qingyun and Xie Yunzhen had to show courtesy!

Qin Tian thought, for these old guys, he, a new Sect Leader under thirty years old, would absolutely not be taken seriously by them.

When the three of Qin Tian arrived at Hidden Cloud Mountain, Xie Yunzhen and others had already arrived.

At this time, Xie Yunzhen and Zhang Fulin stood on either side, not even qualified to sit.

In the central position sat five white-bearded old men, each with good energy, but looking at least in their eighties or nineties.

"Such a strong True Qi pressure! It seems these old men, although aged, haven't neglected their cultivation."

Qin Tian concentrated, taking big strides, bringing along Qiao Zheng and Liu Yu, stepping up to greet them.

"The one in the center is the first Elder, Lei Taigong, on his left is the second Elder, Chen Honglie, and on his right is the third Elder, Meng Tianhu."

As they walked, Qiao Zheng introduced them to Qin Tian in a low voice.

Qin Tian took a few steps forward, stopping four meters away from Lei Taigong and the others, cupped his hands and said, "The new Sect Leader of Qilin Mountain Sect greets the Elders."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, which could be considered as giving the Elders face.

Behind him, Qiao Zheng and Liu Yu bowed together in salute.

"Haha, Qiao Zheng, you surely know decorum, even without the Sect Leader position, you come to pay respects to us old fellows. Not bad."

Amidst them, Lei Taigong sat silently while the one who sent Qin Tian the letter, Chen Honglie, laughed first and spoke, "The people of Qilin Mountain Sect should act with reason and openness!"

Chen Honglie spoke with a heavy tone, addressing Qiao Zheng while completely dismissing Qin Tian like he was air!

Qin Tian retracted his hands from saluting, stood firm, and swept his gaze over Chen Honglie and Lei Taigong, discerning an arrogant indifference from their eyes.

"Elder Chen, you're joking, you're a senior, no matter what title Qiao Zheng holds, paying respects to you is appropriate." Qiao Zheng replied courteously.

"Haha, you sure can speak well."

Chen Honglie laughed, then his tone changed abruptly, "However, I can't understand why, with your understanding of etiquette and rules, you've taught disciples of rebellious nature!"

Swoosh!

At these words, Qin Tian's brows furrowed instantly!

Here it comes, this old guy is making a move!

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Qiao Zheng's face, he forced a smile and said, "Elder Chen, you're joking, when teaching disciples, I emphasize etiquette the most and have never taught an ill-mannered disciple."

"Hahaha! What a sophistry!"

Chen Honglie laughed and said, "Publicly crippling senior uncles, mercilessly driving away the former Sect Leader, conspirating to drive away the main vein senior brother, plotting to kill fellow disciples... You say these acts are not ill-mannered?"

"Elder Chen, I don't understand what you mean with these words..."

"Qiao Zheng, stop pretending to be confused in front of me! Though I'm far in Hidden Cloud Mountain, I'm well aware of any occurrence in the Qilin Mountain Sect! Don't you know who I'm talking about?"

Chen Honglie exerted his dominance, aggressively pressing against Qiao Zheng.

Qiao Zheng knew Chen Honglie referred to Qin Tian and that he'd target Qin Tian, but he didn't want to shift the focus towards Qin Tian, so he played dumb.

Behind him, Qin Tian took a deep breath, slowly stepping two steps forward.

He knew Qiao Zheng wished to protect him.

However, for this journey to Hidden Cloud Mountain, he was well aware that facing the Elder Council was unavoidable.

Hiding was not an option!

Qin Tian stepped forward several paces, raising his head to Chen Honglie, "Grandmaster, if my master did anything wrong, teaching a rebellious disciple, you can directly name them, rather than..."

"Bastard! Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak with me?!"

Before Qin Tian could finish, Chen Honglie interrupted him with a loud roar; in the roar, True Qi reverberated like thunder, with the power of a Lion Roar Skill, almost making Qin Tian unstable!

This was intimidation! Chen Honglie clearly intended to intimidate Qin Tian!

Seeing Qin Tian and Qiao Zheng involuntarily color changing by Chen Honglie's Lion Roar Skill, with Qiao Zheng even stepping back two steps, Xie Yunzhen and Zhang Fulin exchanged glances, both revealing a pleased smile at the corners of their mouths.

"I am the Sect Leader of the Three Veins of Qilin Mountain Sect, Qin Tian. If I'm unqualified to speak with you, then no one here is."

Regaining his composure, Qin Tian's face showed anger, focusing his eyes directly on Chen Honglie, speaking loudly.

Their gazes met, True Qi clashed, sparks fly like a raging battle!

"Qin Tian! I'm talking about you!" Chen Honglie's eyes wavered, roaring with anger, "The crimes I just stated, all committed by you, yet you don't kneel to confess! If you admit your mistakes now, for Qiao Zheng's sake, I may spare your life!"

"Hahaha, what crimes? Whose side of the story are you listening to? Judging me without letting me defend myself? Such actions hardly seem just!" Qin Tian clenched his fists.

Chen Honglie roared, "Justice? What is justice? The Elder Council is justice! I am justice! Qin Tian, you crippled Ning Qingyun, yet didn't report it to the Elder Council, based on this alone, I can cripple your martial arts!"

"Chen Honglie! Is this the stance of your Elder Council? Hahaha, calling me here is just to target me, your scheme is rather conspiratorial!"

Qin Tian was thoroughly enraged by Chen Honglie, directly calling Chen Honglie by his name, retaliating with a loud roar.

"Outrageous!"

These disrespectful words provoked several elders in the Elder Council, their brows furrowed as they shouted!

"Young man! You address the Elder Council seniors by name, this is highly disrespectful! Based on this alone, the Elder Council can strip you of your Sect Leader position!"

"The Sect Leader position, unjustly obtained, ought to be stripped!"

Several elders were clearly angry.

"Dear Elder Masters and Grandmasters, please listen to a word from this disciple."

At this moment, Xie Yunzhen flashed a sinister smile, stepping out, glancing at Qin Tian, then addressing Lei Taigong and the others:

"Qin Tian, at such a young age, has reached the peak of the Primordial Pill realm in cultivation, his combat power rivaling that of the former Sect Leader, Ning Qingyun, this is a demon-like anomaly! I believe Qin Tian must harbor demonic objects and practice demon techniques, he is a heretical demon! Such a demon must be eradicated, I beseech the Elders to discern!"
