Chapter 194: The Deacon

Sky Origin Peak.

When Mo Xiu came, he met Song Shenxue in a pavilion.

"Junior Brother Wu Jue, I'm here on behalf of Master," Song Shenxue said straightforwardly. "He wants to ask if you plan to worship him as a teacher."

"Worship him as a teacher?"

Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, but did not say a word: is a puny Ji Linyuan also worthy?

Song Shenxue: "He just wants to listen to your opinion. If you want, he will come personally and accept you as a disciple. If you don't want to, just forget it."

"I never plan to worship anyone as a teacher," Mo Xiu refused directly.

"Okay," Song Shenxue did not force it.se

Mo Xiu glanced at Song Shenxue and suddenly said, "But if you want to worship me as a teacher, I can still accept it."

Song Shenxue was shocked, "Are you kidding me?"

Aside, Xing Yuyan couldn't help but curled her lips, "Kidding? Do you think senior brother likes to joke? It's your honor to accept him as his apprentice!"

This Xing Yuyan had been with Mo Xiu for a while, and it could be said that she had become more and more presumptuous. Before that, she would never dare to talk to Song Shenxue like this.

But she did think so.

Regardless of Song Shenxue being recognized as the super genius of the Seraphic Sword Sect, the other major sects had never heard of cultivation talents comparable to Song Shenxue. But in Xing Yuyan's view, Song Shenxue was nothing more than that.

After the Five Elements Divine Vein were stimulated, Xing Yuyan's cultivation talent was not weaker than Song Shenxue's. In addition, she was cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Art. As long as she was given a period of time, it was not difficult for her to surpass Song Shenxue in strength.

As for everything she possessed, it could be said that Mo Xiu gave it to her, and it was evident that Mo Xiu what possessed was just too great.

It was indeed an honor for Song Shenxue to accept Mo Xiu as her master. For a person with such a background, and it was a great opportunity.

Song Shenxue naturally didn't know Xing Yuyan's thoughts. She was not angry at Xing Yuyan's presumptuous remarks. She just said, "Master's kindness to me is like a mountain. I will not worship others as a teacher. Besides, this is even more impossible for you, a junior of mine, otherwise wouldn't it be a mess of generations?"

"In the world of cultivation, the master is the teacher, one teacher has multiple apprentices, and one apprentice has multiple teachers. This is a common thing," Mo Xiu said lightly. "As for what you said about messing up the generation, I don't think it will be. No one will think about it."

"No!" Song Shenxue resolutely refused. "No matter what you say, I will not worship you as a teacher, and I don't think you are qualified to be my master."

Mo Xiu: "I won't force you, but there is only one chance."

"In any case, I insist on my decision," Song Shenxue said, standing up to say goodbye to Mo Xiu.

Seeing Song Shenxue's leaving figure, Xing Yuyan frowned slightly and said to Mo Xiu, "Senior brother, she will definitely regret it!"

Mo Xiu just mentioned it casually, after all, Song Shenxue's talent was indeed good, and Song Shenxue's identity was relatively special, so he wouldn't suffer when he accepted her as an apprentice.

Song Shenxue didn't want to do anything, Mo Xiu wouldn't have any indignation, and wouldn't feel uncomfortable because of it.

Hearing Xing Yuyan's embarrassing words, he didn't say anything, just raised his hand to signal Xing Yuyan to stop there.

Xing Yuyan was not very clear about Mo Xiu's thoughts. After a short silence, she sighed, "I will go back to my room to cultivate."

...

After Xing Yuyan returned to the room, Mo Xiu stood up. As he walked out of the pavilion, he saw a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect walking from a distance, "Senior Brother Wu Jue, the Sect Master asks you to visit the Boundless Hall."

The so-called Sect Master naturally referred to the Sect Master Zhong Ruhao.

Mo Xiu also knew what Zhong Ruhao meant to find him, so he did not refuse.

After leaving Sky Origin Peak, he walked straight towards Divine Sword Peak, and soon entered the Boundless Hall.

Many elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect gathered in the Boundless Hall, including the former Sect Master Ji Linyuan and the three Supreme Elders Zhong Ruhao, Bai Lizhi, and Shan Yuanze.

The three elders were still in the top positions.

Seeing Mo Xiu's arrival, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Zhong Ruhao abruptly said, "This time, you are summoned to discuss Wu Jue's affairs. I am not very clear about Wu Jue's cultivation level, but many people have seen him kill two deacons of the Arcane Truth Sect. That is to say, his strength is already comparable to that of an Abstruse Form Condensation Realm cultivator..."

Upon seeing this, Ji Linyuan immediately realized something, and quickly interrupted, "The cultivation base belongs to the cultivation base, and the strength belongs to the strength. Even if Wu Jue's strength is comparable to that of a cultivator of that level, his cultivation base is still far from there."

Zhong Ruhao was not angry, but just asked, "How do you know that his cultivation is not in that realm?"

"Does this need to be said?" Ji Linyuan looked too lazy to talk nonsense.

Zhong Ruhao didn't plan to argue with Ji Linyuan either, after all, whether Mo Xiu's cultivation base was in Abstruse Form Condensation Realm or not did not affect him.

His gaze returned to Mo Xiu, "Regardless of his cultivation base, his strength is strong enough, so I decided to grant Wu Jue the position of deacon."

"No! This can't be done!"

Ji Linyuan quickly objected, "According to the rules, if you want to become a deacon of the sect, you must be an Abstruse Form Condensation Realm cultivator. It is the Abstruse Form Condensation Realm cultivation base, not the strength of the Abstruse Form Condensation Realm! Or, Uncle Zhong, are you going to modify the rules of the sect again?"

"I said, it is an exceptional award. Naturally, the rules of the sect will not be changed, but the rules are dead and people are alive. Sometimes, we must know how to be flexible."

As Zhong Ruhao said, he glanced at Ji Linyuan, "Nephew Ji, I think you are usually partial to Wu Jue, why do you desperately oppose it now? Or is it that you don't like him at all, and all the previous performances were pretended by you?"

Naturally, Ji Linyuan would not easily fall into his opponent's pit. He said coldly, "What kind of horrible idea you have in your heart, do you think I really don't know it?"

"Horrible idea?" Zhong Ruhao shook his head. "I don't know what you are talking about. If Wu Jue's strength is far less than those of the Abstruse Form Condensation Realm cultivators, I will naturally not grant Wu Jue the position of deacon. But his strength is obvious. Our Seraphic Sword Sect pays attention to making the best use of one's talents. What's wrong with me doing this? Do you guys think there's anything wrong with this?"

Those elders who supported Zhong Ruhao would naturally not contradict Zhong Ruhao.

As for the elders who supported Ji Linyuan, they were very clear about Zhong Ruhao's intentions and wanted to refute a few words. But Zhong Ruhao's words made sense, and the righteousness was on Zhong Ruhao's side. In this case, they really didn't know how to refute them.

Ji Linyuan could only use the sect rules as an argument. He snorted coldly, "I won't agree anyway!"

"Nephew Ji, whether or not to grant Wu Jue the position of deacon out of order, this is decided by the three of us, the Supreme Elder. You are no longer the Sect Master of the Seraphic Sword Sect. It is not your turn to intervene in this kind of thing. Therefore, I gathered everyone together and just told everyone to let everyone know that it is not a matter of disagreement with you," Zhong Ruhao said calmly.

After speaking, he looked around and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"Since Wu Jue can be granted the position of deacon of the sect, Song Shenxue should also be granted the position of elder of the sect, otherwise it would be somewhat unfair," an elder said suddenly.

This person was naturally arranged by Zhong Ruhao deliberately.

Hearing this, Zhong Ruhao seemed a little hesitant, "This is not good, right? After all, Song Shenxue was only granted the position of deacon a few days ago. If this matter is spread out, I am afraid that it will arouse criticism."

That elder shook his head, "Song Shenxue logically could have been granted the position of deacon a long time ago, but our former Sect Master was worried about his reputation, so he kept dragging on and did not grant it. Moreover, although Song Shenxue is not in the Sea Core Realm, average Sea Core Realm cultivators cannot do anything to her. It is not an exaggeration to say that her strength is comparable to the Sea Core Realm cultivator, so she can be awarded by exception."

"..."

Zhong Ruhao fell into silence immediately.

On the other side, Bai Lizhi stroked his beard lightly, nodded and said, "I think it's feasible."

Shan Yuanze, who was also the Supreme Elder, nodded, "I also think it is possible. Even if her cultivation level is not enough, as long as her strength can be achieved, there is nothing to be afraid of criticism."

Upon seeing this, Zhong Ruhao said pretentiously, "If that's the case, let's take this opportunity to grant it, so that you don't have to go again," after that, he let people call Song Shenxue.

Ji Linyuan understood that the people on Zhong Ruhao's side had made up their minds to change the identity of Mo Xiu from a disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect to a deacon of the Seraphic Sword Sect and Song Shenxue's identity from a deacon of the Sword Sect to an elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect. And then let the deacons come to kill Mo Xiu.

As long as Mo Xiu became the deacon of the Seraphic Sword Sect, even if he was killed by the deacons of the Seraphic Sword Sect, he couldn't have any opinions. Unless he wanted to break out a full-scale civil war with Zhong Ruhao.

But he couldn't stop Zhong Ruhao from granting Mo Xiu the position of deacon. After all, Zhong Ruhao was awe-inspiring and difficult to refute. Even if he clung to the sect rules, it would be useless.

Unable to prevent Mo Xiu from becoming a deacon of the sect, naturally, he couldn't prevent Song Shenxue from becoming an elder of the sect.

He thought about it secretly, "At this point, I can only mobilize manpower urgently to protect Mo Xiu."

During the whole process, Mo Xiu said nothing.

Even when Song Shenxue arrived, he didn't say anything as if everything everyone said had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't until Zhong gave him the jade medal of the deacon of the Seraphic Sword Sect and the corresponding costumes from Zhong Ruhao that he turned around and left the Boundless Hall.

Outside the Boundless Hall, there were already a few deacons from the Seraphic Sword Sect waiting for Mo Xiu. The leader said, "Deacon Wu Jue, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Mo Xiu knew well about the division of forces within the sect today, knowing that these deacons all supported Zhong Ruhao and followed Zhong Ruhao's orders.

Even before he entered the Boundless Hall, these people were already waiting for him, waiting for him to obtain the status of the deacon of the sect and walk out of the Boundless Hall.

Therefore, when these people said that they had waited for him for a long time, it was not nonsense, nor was it an exaggeration.

As for the purpose of these people, needless to say, it was to kill him.

If Mo Xiu had just been killed as a deacon, it would be controversial if it was passed out. But Zhong Ruhao obviously couldn't manage that much, showing his determination to kill Mo Xiu.
