Chapter 79 - Stop Ahead!

Looking at the dumbfounded Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan, Feng Xia could only shrug his shoulders and reveal an expression that meant, “I don’t know how to explain it to you either.”

After all, he really did not know how to explain.jpg

Perhaps the legendary golden brick club members were just that unique and awesome.

“No matter what, this issue is finally settled.”

A moment later, Lei Shao heaved a long sigh of relief, as if he had put down a great burden.

Feng Xia had agreed to their request to become the next Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley. This was undoubtedly the best outcome.

Perhaps one day, they would really be able to see the vision of the past sages of the Thousand Autumn Valley being realized, allowing the glory of the most important holy land to shine over Xuanwu Kingdom again.

“I wonder… how long will it take for that day to arrive?”

Clang, clang, clang—

The melodious bell rang, the tones one high and one low, like the morning bell that woke all slumbering people. The sound traveled through the post-war ruins, crossed the land of the Thousand Autumn Valley and echoed in everyone’s ears.

A few disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley walked out of their residences and looked in the direction of the Thousand Autumn Hall in a daze.

“What… what has happened again?”

“Could it be that another enemy is attacking?”

Although the Thousand Autumn Valley had just repelled a powerful enemy, many people had yet to return. They were probably at their weakest at the moment.

Gradually, as the bell continued to ring, some people’s expressions gradually turned to surprise.

“One, two, three… the six rings of the bell!”

“It’s not the seven rings of the bell, which means that it’s not a life-or-death crisis. However, it’s still a very important matter!”

“The six rings of the bell… Something big is about to happen.”

“Fellow cultivators of the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

At this moment, First Elder Lei Shao’s voice rang out. Through the arrays engraved all over the sect, it easily reached everyone’s ears. “I have an important announcement to make.”

Hearing his voice, everyone within the mountain gate perked up and held their breaths.

“From today onwards, Senior Feng Xia will take over as the Sect Master of our sect. He will be the ninth Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley. Anyone who is currently inside the Thousand Autumn Valley must go to the Thousand Autumn Hall to pay their respects to the new Sect Master!”

This simple sentence caused a huge uproar.

After the old Sect Master passed away, people had indeed discussed who the new Sect Master would be.

In the eyes of most of the Thousand Autumn Valley disciples, the final successor of the position of Sect Master would definitely be either First Elder Lei Shao or Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan!

However, at this moment, First Elder Lei Shao had personally told them…

The new Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley was actually the guest elder who had arrived less than half a month ago!

“This, this, this, this… Isn’t this a little against the rules?”

“Even if that guest elder is indeed very strong, the rules of hundreds of years can’t be broken like that. I wonder what the First Elder had drunk to actually let an outsider take over as the Thousand Autumn Valley’s Sect Master?”

Some people frowned secretly.

It was not that they had anything against Feng Xia.

However, there were a total of six elders in the Thousand Autumn Valley. Not all the disciples belonged to the factions of the First Elder or the Sixth Elder. Whether it was the First Elder or the Sixth Elder who eventually took over, it was something that they could accept. However, if it was a guest elder who had just arrived in the sect…

There were even some people whose impression of Feng Xia was still that of the young man who had a conflict with Ye Yi and Mo Yushu and then declared that he would challenge the entire sect!

It could not be helped. After all, the Thousand Autumn Valley did not have Weibo or WeChat Moments. Many people went into seclusion for 10 days to half a month at a time. Their understanding of Feng Xia was just based on his name.

Most of them did not even see the final battle.

“Crazy! It’s definitely crazy! How can it be so lax!”

An official who had left the mountain gate very early and was the first to return had an ugly expression on his face. He could not help but shout, “Even if I’m only an official, I must admonish you even if I die for it!”

Someone recognized him as one of the senior officials of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Yin Kaiyu. He could not suppress his curiosity and asked, “Official Yin, why are you so against this?”

“If we let an outsider become the new Sect Master, doesn’t that mean that our sect is useless? If the news spreads, it will definitely make the Thousand Autumn Valley a joke!”

“But I heard that the new Sect Master is very powerful?”

“Hmph! So what if he’s powerful? Is he stronger than the old Sect Master?” Yin Kaiyu snorted coldly and pretended to look stern. “In terms of cultivation, he can’t compare with the First Elder and the Sixth Elder. In terms of reputation, what has he done for our sect since he came to the Thousand Autumn Valley?”

“But I heard that the new Sect Master killed the grand duke Mo Yuanlong…”

“So what if he killed the grand duke? No matter how strong he is, there is still the Primal Core Realm… Wait! Did you just say grand duke Mo Yuanlong?”

Halfway through his sentence, Yin Kaiyu suddenly came back to his senses.

Grand duke!

Mo Yuanlong!!

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized… grand duke Mo Yuanlong was that Primal Core Realm cultivator from the imperial court who had suppressed Xuanwu Kingdom for over a hundred years without anyone being his match!

“This, this, this… this is impossible! This is absolutely impossible…”

Yin Kaiyu was by now a mess. “That’s the Primal Core Realm cultivator, the strongest expert in Xuanwu Kingdom, how could it be…”

The disciple glanced at him strangely. “The new Sect Master is also in the Primal Core Realm. Why can’t he kill the grand duke? Moreover, the grand duke’s head is hanging over the martial arts arena now. Could it be that Official Yin hasn’t gone to take a look?”

“Cough, cough, cough, cough! No, no. I was just a little too nervous, so I accidentally forgot about this. In that case, Sect Master Feng deserves to take over the position.”

Yin Kaiyu hurriedly shook his head and shouted with a serious expression, “If anyone dares to object, it will be making things difficult for me, Yin Kaiyu!”

At the same time, his heart was in turmoil.

He had only gone out with the team to take refuge for a few days…

What exactly happened during this period?!

If even the grand duke Mo Yuanlong had been killed by Elder Feng… no, Sect Master Feng, then would he still be able to carry out his mission in the Thousand Autumn Valley?

Should he continue to stay in hiding or return to the royal city?

Just as Yin Kaiyu was at a loss, bright laughter suddenly came from afar. A long rainbow tore through the air from far away and approached them. The spiritual energy of the five elements surged. Then, the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, dressed in luxurious clothes, appeared in front of everyone.

“It’s better to come at the right time than to be too early!”

The Five Elements Sect Master shook his sleeves and walked towards the entrance of the Thousand Autumn Valley. He said in a clear voice, “It’s at the time when your sect’s new Sect Master takes over. I’ve specially come to apologize and offer a Golden Gauze Rock Mine and 10 bottles of Dao Platform Realm treasure pills. I’m willing to apologize for all my previous offenses.”

He held some confidence in this visit.

After all, just the value of a Golden Gauze Rock Mine was enough to tempt countless experts!

There was no reason for the Thousand Autumn Valley not to accept this compensation!

Swoosh—

Just a second before he stepped into the Thousand Autumn Valley, an incomparably sharp sword light shot out from the depths of the Thousand Autumn Valley and landed right in front of his foot. It was just a millimeter away from completely going through his foot!

“Five Elements Sect Master, stop ahead.”

A calm voice followed.
