nly one who remained calm was Shang Qiuchu. He had witnessed Ye Tian's prowess firsthand, even killing the Grandmaster Xiang Donglai with a single punch. So jumping out of a plane wasn't that big of a..."Nightmare Worm, I never thought the seventh-ranked worm would actually exist. The Lingxiao Sect hid it well indeed, not a single rumor beforehand."

Luo Rong said, "Legend has it that this kind of bug is very powerful. Its saliva made into poison, if taken, will make a person fall into a coma for three days, and then die unknowingly, not much different from natural death."

Even if facing a powerful opponent, those with weak mental fortitude could be rendered unconscious instantly, while those with strong mental power would experience a significant suppression of their abilities.

"Yes! If it wasn't for this being a major issue, the position of the Alchemist Guild President, I don't think the Lingxiao Sect would have brought it out."

Mo Chongba said, "It's laughable that the Second Elder is running around seeking medical treatment. The saliva of the Nightmare Demon Worms, this thing is simply incurable."

Even if he invited all the doctors from the Celestial Realm here, it would be useless. In the end, he could only collect the remains of the guild leader.

Lu Rong burst into laughter. The conversation between the two had relaxed his mood considerably.

"There are only a few hours left until tomorrow, old man can hardly wait any longer. It seems the position of Grandmaster is destined to fall into our hands."

The next day, all seven elders of the Alchemists' Guild gathered in Grandmaster Zhuge Qingyang's ward.

Three old Kong Lingyuan's face was somber, yesterday Sun Zi was beaten he was furious, immediately sent someone to investigate.

With his influence in Lingxiao City, he quickly identified the other party's identity and immediately led people to the Apprentice Society to seek revenge.

It turned out that the person had already left, and there was no sign of them even now.

The most beloved grandson was beaten to that state, and he hasn't gotten over it yet. It really upset him. In comparison, the chairman's illness doesn't seem to bother him much.

Eldest Elder Wu Zheng, after a busy period, sent the last doctor out of the ward and sighed deeply at the bed where the chairman lay.

Over the past few days, he had nearly summoned all of Jishengtian's renowned physicians, but none of them could determine what was wrong with Zhuge Qingyang, let alone wake him up.

"Second Elder, you don't need to worry too much. I believe the Guild Master will have his moment of awakening. He is a good person and heaven favors him."

Lu Rong strode over and patted the Second Elder's shoulder. "But before that, we still need to keep the guild going strong. It's not convenient to talk here, let's move to the council hall and discuss how to proceed next."

Wu Zheng nodded. This was a hospital room, indeed not a place to speak.

Several people walked out of the room and quickly arrived at the nearby council hall, where all seven elders took their seats.

As the Grand Elder, Luo Rong sat in the center and spoke first, “Honorable Elders, as you all have seen, the Guild Master has been in a coma for two days now. "

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and so it is with my Alchemist's Guild.

According to the ancestral rules, if the Headmaster is unable to take charge, a successor should be immediately selected to temporarily assume the position of Headmaster.

Wu Zheng frowned: "Elder, isn't this a bit too hasty I think it would be most appropriate to wait a few more days."

"Second Elder, we can't wait any longer."

At this moment, another elder stepped forward. It was Elder Wu, Li Bai Mei, He and the Great Elder and Fourth Elder were birds of a feather, so naturally, they would help speak up at this time.

"Since the Guild Master has been unconscious for so long, it is indeed time for a successor to take charge of the guild's affairs."

Besides, there's no harm in doing so. If the Guild Master ever wakes up and regains his former glory, he'll still be the Guild Master.

Even if, hypothetically speaking, Chairman Wan were to experience an accident or misfortune, we would not be caught off guard.

"And today's matters were already discussed beforehand. Since the Grandmaster cannot handle affairs for more than a day, the seven of us elders must take on this responsibility."

The two of you exchanged words, each putting on a show of impartiality.

Wu Zheng sighed, he also knew very well that it would be really difficult for the president to wake up in this state.

"Well then, but there's not much to discuss about the heir. Hua Qiqi is the most suitable choice."

After he made his stance clear, Elder Six, Dong Zikuan, also spoke up.

"I think the Second Elder is right. Hua Qiqqi is the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation in the Alchemist's Guild, and she is recognized as the number one alchemy genius. The guild master should be succeeded by her."

"Elder Six, what you say is wrong."

Mo Chongba shook his head. "Hua Qiqi is excellent, but she lacks a broad perspective and isn't suitable to be the chairman."

In contrast, Xie Hongying's talent in alchemy is also quite good. At a young age, she has already become an eleventh-rank Immortal Alchemist.

"Most importantly, her abilities are comprehensive and she has a broad perspective. She is very familiar with the affairs of the Alchemists' Guild, and as the heir apparent to the guildmaster, she is universally acclaimed."

Just as he finished speaking, Elder Nan Ganglie from the Southern Sector stood up.

"Not appropriate, not appropriate. Although Xie Hongying is also very excellent, she is still far worse than Hua Qiqi. The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath..."

So the seven old men present, apart from the three Lao Kong Lingyuan, the remaining six started arguing with each other.

Three people supported Huā Qiqi and three people supported Xìe Hóngyīng. For a moment, they argued fiercely, their faces flushed.

"Alright, everyone, please quiet down!"

At last, the eldest Elder Luo Rong intervened, "Since all esteemed elders have their own opinions and candidates..."

Then we'll follow the union rules, call the candidates here, and everyone casts their vote.

"If the president falls into a coma, it will be up to the seven of us to make the decision. We each cast our vote, and the one with the most votes becomes the candidate for the next president."

This result indeed conforms to the rules, and everyone present knows this well, so no one objects.

The resolution passed. Luo Rong clapped his hands and called in Fan Dongping, who was guarding the door, asking him to summon Xie Hongying and Hua Qiqi.

Not long after, a beautiful woman in red walked in from outside. She was about the same age as Hua Qiqi, but her cultivation was slightly weaker, reaching the peak of Immortal Venerable.

This person is precisely Elder Luo Rong's disciple, Xie Hongying. She is also a talented disciple of the Alchemist Guild and a hot candidate for the guild master's successor.

Luo Rong nodded, letting her stand aside, then looked at Fan Dongping.

Where is Huā Qiqī

Fan Dongping lowered his head: "Guild Master, I've searched the entire Alchemist Guild, but I couldn't find anyone."

"Later, I heard from the guard that she had suddenly gone out last night and hasn't returned yet."

"Nonsense! With the guild leader in this state, she dares to run off Does she have no regard for the guild or her own well-being!"

Luo Rong slapped the table with a loud bang, his face contorted with anger. I have to say, this old geezer's acting skills are truly first-rate.

Mo Chongba was also putting on a show, following up with, "How did she leave Was there something urgent Did she say goodbye to anyone"

Fan Dongping said: “This subordinate is unaware, the guards know nothing about it.”

As the core disciple of the Alchemist's Guild, you shouldn't be so unruly.

Mo Chongba mumbled something, then looked at Wu Zheng, "Second Elder, has she greeted you Where did she go When will she be back"al point is, if you refuse to submit, there's likely only one path left: death. Everyone who lives longer becomes increasingly afraid of dying. Compared to your own life, dignity and face are complete...
