Actually, he was just quoting what he said; it wasn't his own words, but rather those of his disciple Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen's judgment was largely correct, so he simply used it, but he didn't expect such a strong reaction from the crowd.
However, Li Boyang's words were indeed a bit too harsh. It was basically like telling everyone in the hall that the people they had chosen were all trash in my opinion. It would be strange if the crowd didn't react strongly.

Chapter 102 Qiu Chuji Recruits Men
Early the next morning.
Thump! Thump!
There was a knock at the door.
"Bowen, go open the door quickly."
Li Boyang sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating his internal energy.
Liu Bowen, who was reading in the morning, put down his book and opened the door.
Outside the gate, a true disciple respectfully said, "Master Boyang, the sect leader requests your presence."
"Um?"
Li Boyang, who was practicing his cultivation, opened his eyes and quietly said:
"Didn't those people finish arguing yesterday? Are they going to continue today?"
The true disciple shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. The sect leader only invited you."
What was Qiu Chuji up to? What did he want me to do?
Li Boyang muttered to himself, but dared not delay, and asked the other party to lead the way.
Yesterday's grand meeting in Chongyang Hall, regarding the proposal for various sects to jointly support a rebel army, ultimately ended in failure.
The Chongyang Hall had almost turned into a marketplace. The leaders of several sects argued for a whole morning, then took a temporary break at noon to eat and drink. They continued arguing in the afternoon and into the evening without reaching a conclusion.
Li Boyang could hear the buzzing of flies even with his ears covered. He never wanted to participate a second time; it was just too torturous.
It's normal that there's no result. They're all top-tier sects. Why should I listen to you? This question has no answer.
Given the current strength of the various rebel armies, Zhang Shicheng holds an absolute advantage. If he were to gain the support of other factions, he could definitely end the chaos in the shortest possible time.
But apart from the Beggars' Sect and Shen Wansan who supported Zhang Shicheng, everyone else pretended to be blind, acting as if they didn't see anything, and continued to promote their own candidates.
Li Boyang had long understood that unless someone was a truly selfless saint, as long as each sect still had its own interests to pursue, it would not agree to the selection of other sects.
True sages typically appear only once every few centuries. It's clear that even Qiu Chuji had his own selfish motives, let alone the leaders of other sects.
Following behind the true disciple, Li Boyang arrived at the outside of a teahouse.
When Li Boyang entered the room, Qiu Chuji was already alone, holding a purple clay cup and sipping the steaming tea, looking completely at ease.
Strangely, there was no charcoal in the tea room.
"Why did Master Qiu summon me here?"
Li Boyang quietly walked to the tea table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and unceremoniously picked up the cup and took a sip.
"I made a fool of myself in front of my young friend Boyang yesterday."
Qiu Chuji held the purple clay teapot in his hand, and faint white steam was rising from it, indicating that the tea inside had boiled.
"Master Qiu is skilled in martial arts."
Li Boyang was somewhat shocked. Qiu Chuji's skill was unfathomable. He himself knew he couldn't do it, and neither could Jueyuan.
Jueyuan's wood-burning knife technique might be able to shatter a Zisha teapot, but it's absolutely impossible for Qiu Chuji to control the water in the teapot to the point of boiling without damaging it. Qiu Chuji's application of innate true qi has reached a level of exquisite subtlety.
Qiu Chuji said dismissively, "It's just that you're a few years older. Young friend, you've already reached the Innate Realm at such a young age. It's only a matter of time before you surpass me."
It was no secret to Qiu Chuji that Li Boyang was a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Jueyuan had briefly explained the situation to him, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned Li Boyang to the Chongyang Hall.
In the Wudang world, the Qi Refining Realm is of paramount importance. If a sect has a Qi Refining Realm expert, it is immediately considered a high-level sect. The quality of an internal skill is determined solely by whether it can lead directly to the Innate Realm.
Li Boyang could only smile wryly at this. It seemed that entering the Qi Refining Realm in this Wudang dream world was not so easy. What would Qiu Chuji think if he knew that most of the talented people in the Tianyuan World broke through to the Qi Refining Realm in their early twenties?
Li Boyang politely replied, "I wouldn't accept that; I'm far inferior to Master Qiu."
It was inevitable that he would surpass Qiu Chuji, and Li Boyang was confident of this. However, he could only think this in his heart and could not say it out loud, otherwise he would offend people.
Qiu Chuji said, "Young friend Boyang, you are too modest. I heard from Jueyuan that you are an instructor at Songyang Academy. May I ask who your martial arts master is?"

Chapter 103 Lustful Tribulation
"How much longer can Master Qiu hold on?"
Li Boyang's expression was somewhat solemn. The strength of Shi Le, the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty, was beyond his imagination. If Qiu Chuji were to leave, and no one in the Central Plains martial arts world could restrain Shi Le, the consequences would be more serious than he had imagined.
In this era before the advent of firearms, with the terrifying power of a Qi Refining Realm expert, which rebel leader could withstand Shi Le's assassination attempt? Just like when Qiu Chuji rose to power, he entered the palace several times to assassinate the Yuan emperor.
The rebel leader was no match for the Yuan emperor. The palace was always guarded by several Qi Refining Realm experts who could fight to the death to stop Qiu Chuji. But if Shi Le's successor set his sights on him, he would almost certainly die.
