348: Removal and Appointment

Shen Jinhuan's arrival was abrupt.

Her words left no room for negotiation, and she directly challenged the Grand Elder's Face.

In Yaoguang Immortal Palace,

besides the three Great Palace Masters of Ting Yu Palace, Guanxue Palace, and Zhi Shui Palace, there was also the nine-member Elder group of Yaoguang Immortal Palace who could participate in discussions.

This was a system introduced by the first Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace to balance power.

The daily affairs of Yaoguang Immortal Palace were handled by the Great Palace Master and the other three Great Palace Masters, but for "major decisions," the approval of the Elder group was required.

The Elder group was composed of those "Saintesses" who had not become Great Palace Masters in previous generations.

These individuals, in their youth, were also exceptionally talented.

Although their current strength was not as high as the other Great Palace Masters, their say held significant weight to a certain extent.

Shen Jinhuan, a current "Saintess," directly challenged the Grand Elder's Face without any reservation.

This immediately made the Grand Elder very uncomfortable.

The Grand Elder immediately rebuked, "What are you doing here while the Elders and Great Palace Masters are discussing matters? Are you trying to defy your superiors? Put away your arrogance; you are not yet the Great Palace Master.

You're not even a Junior Great Palace Master.

Come talk to us when you've been confirmed as the Junior Great Palace Master!"

Shen Jinhuan sneered, "According to the laws of Yaoguang Immortal Palace, the Saintess's status is no different from an Elder's. Grand Elder, have you been idle for so long that you've forgotten the palace rules?

Do I need to remind you?

Furthermore, let me say this again: putting aside your so-called Elder status, you are currently only at the Saintess level.

I am sixteen, and you? Are you over a thousand years old?"

"You brat!"

The Grand Elder's chest heaved violently with Qi.

The Elder group were all Saintesses.

Some still maintained their youthful and beautiful appearance, but her Lifespan was nearing its end, and every trace of vitality was worth utilizing carefully, leaving no room for extravagance in appearance.

Shen Jinhuan's beauty and talent were recognized by Yaoguang Immortal Palace and even the entire Xuanhuang Domain.

With such a comparison, how could the Grand Elder not be angry and jealous?

Flowing Water and Still Water of Zhi Shui Palace exchanged glances.

Their eyes were full of affection for Shen Jinhuan.

Zhi Shui Palace had always presented Still Water as its sole Great Palace Master to the outside world.

While the other Great Palace Masters were in the Nascent Soul Mid-stage Realm, the Zhi Shui Palace Master was only in the Nascent Soul Stage - Early Phase.

Therefore, people from other palaces often looked down on Zhi Shui Palace.

However, after the war began, everyone realized that Zhi Shui Palace was also hiding a Nascent Soul Stage - Early Phase practitioner.

One was Flowing Water, the other Still Water.

The two were twin sisters, and if they combined their attacks, they could even match the strength of a Nascent Soul Mid-stage practitioner.

Moreover, both of them were still young.

If both of them advanced to Nascent Soul Mid-stage, then Zhi Shui Palace would undoubtedly be the first among the three palaces!

Flowing Water said with a smile to the Grand Elder, "Huanhuan is right. The status of a Yaoguang Saintess is on par with an Elder's. She truly has the right to speak to you."

The Grand Elder glanced at them.

"But you also forgot that a Yaoguang Saintess can only assume the role after the Great Palace Master's approval and a vote of approval by the Elder group.

The Elder group can support a Saintess, and likewise, they also have the right to depose a Saintess!"

After speaking, the Grand Elder looked at the other Elders.

"Let's put other matters aside for now. I believe that Yaoguang Saintess Shen Jinhuan shows disrespect to her Elders and is recklessly ambitious. If she continues to develop, she will put Yaoguang Immortal Palace in danger.

I propose that Shen Jinhuan's Saintess title be revoked for now, and everything will be discussed after the war!

Those who agree, please raise your hands!"

The others exchanged glances.

Among the nine, six raised their hands.

"The minority obeys the majority. The resolution is passed."

The Grand Elder looked at Shen Jinhuan, feeling relieved.

"How about it? You are no longer a Yaoguang Saintess. If you admit your mistake, I will give you another chance. Think carefully, don't be impulsive."

She hadn't intended to revoke Shen Jinhuan's Saintess title.

Someone of such talent would surely lead Yaoguang Immortal Palace to glory.

But Shen Jinhuan was too unruly.

She needed to be "disciplined" properly.

Otherwise, if she became the Great Palace Master in the future, she would be even harder to control.

This was the Grand Elder's "obedience test" for Shen Jinhuan.

Still Water frowned tightly, "Grand Elder, you're going too far. Do you really think that this Yaoguang Immortal Palace is solely decided by your Elder group? Do you even have us Great Palace Masters, or even the Great Palace Master, in your eyes?!"

The Grand Elder said seriously, "The duties of the Elder group are clear, and the matters we can manage are listed. The matter of the Saintess is precisely something we can manage.

Furthermore, is Great Palace Master Still Water trying to sow discord?

Don't bring out the Great Palace Master to scare me. In terms of seniority, the Great Palace Master also has to call me Junior Martial Uncle!"

The Great Palace Master sighed upon hearing this.

The fact was indeed so.

At this moment, Shen Jinhuan chuckled, "A Junior Martial Uncle who is two Realms behind her Martial Niece. You're not ashamed, but rather proud, and you even use it to suppress others.

How shameless.

Mistake?

What mistake have I made?

You old fogeys, aren't you just afraid that I won't obey discipline, and afraid that after an attack, it will affect your status?

Shameless! Truly shameless!"

The Grand Elder gritted her teeth.

This person's mouth was truly vicious.

Grand Elder: "Since you refuse to repent, then don't be a Great Palace Master. Get out. You have no right to speak here."

Shen Jinhuan ignored the Grand Elder.

Instead, she walked up to Flowing Water.

She bowed, bending at the waist.

"Master, your disciple requests that you step down! Today, I will take over as the Great Palace Master of Zhi Shui Palace!"

Flowing Water was stunned.

She looked at Shen Jinhuan.

She asked seriously, "Have you thought it through?"

This was not a simple matter of words; it involved too many responsibilities.

Shen Jinhuan nodded, "I have thought it through."

"Good!"

Flowing Water immediately stood up.

"I announce that Shen Jinhuan will take over my position!"

"You!" The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "Do you really mean to do this? Don't forget, the reason Zhi Shui Palace has two Great Palace Masters is because you two sisters have a combined attack technique.

If it's someone else, why should there be two Great Palace Masters?

If that's the case, then you might as well create ten Great Palace Masters, and then Yaoguang Immortal Palace would be yours to command, wouldn't it?"

What the Grand Elder said also moved the other Great Palace Masters.

Although this old geezer was wicked, what she said was not without reason.

"Then wouldn't it be fine if I also abdicated and yielded to the worthy?"

Still Water also stood up.

"Now, you have nothing more to say, do you? Furthermore, one palace represents one vote. Even if our Zhi Shui Palace had ten thousand Great Palace Masters, it could still only represent our Zhi Shui Palace.

Grand Elder, it seems you still need to review the palace rules of Yaoguang Immortal Palace."

The Grand Elder was directly left speechless.

She could only snort coldly, "Since you have abdicated, why are you not leaving quickly?!"

Unexpectedly, Still Water and Flowing Water moved chairs from elsewhere and sat behind Shen Jinhuan.

Flowing Water said with a smile:

"I told you, Grand Elder, you don't understand the palace rules, but you didn't believe me.

After the three Great Palace Masters abdicate, they have the authority to supervise the Elder group of Yaoguang Immortal Palace. Although everyone who abdicated either perished or entered a death seclusion, this palace rule is not wrong."

The Elder group checked the Great Palace Masters.

So how could the first Great Palace Master not find a way to check the Elder group!
