Chapter 155: Greetings, Sect Leader Ling!

Chapter 155: Greetings, Sect Leader Ling!

"Phew!"

Ling Feng stood proudly beside Blood Red Garment's lifeless body, lifting the Eradicator of Realms to gently blowing on it

The bloodstains on the blade soon disappeared!

Paired with his elegance and dominance, Ling Feng emanated an unparalleled sense of pride and unruliness!

"Senior Uncle Ling!"

Countless disciples surged forward, forming a circle around Ling Feng.

At that moment, Elder Yao slowly approached, bowing deeply to Duanmu Qingshan and his disciple with a sincere expression. "Junior Brother Duanmu, you have suffered all these years!"

As he spoke, he slowly began to kneel down.

"Um... Senior Brother!" Duanmu Qingshan hastily brought Elder Yao back up. "Senior Brother, this matter isn't your fault!"

"No, it's entirely my fault for being too weak in the past!" Elder Yao's tears flowed down freely. "If it weren't for you two today, the foundation of our Wenxian Sect, built over hundreds of years, would have been destroyed in an instant!"

The elders and disciples of the Wenxian Sect nearby all bowed their heads in shame and approached Ling Feng and his master, bowing deeply. "We thank Elder Duanmu! We thank Young Hero Ling!"

Duanmu Qingshan took a deep breath. "I apologize for my shortcomings. Apart from Lu Tianji, Lin Canglang, and a few others, I feel love for everyone in the Wenxian Sect."

"Elder Duanmu, Elder Yao, the traitors, Li Liang and Yang Wei, have been captured. How should they be dealt with?"

Several disciples in the later stage of the Pulse Formation Realm pushed Li Liang and Yang Wei, who were already bruised and bound, forward to await judgment.

"According to the sect rules, those who conspire with outsiders to harm the sect deserve no mercy!" Elder Yao's face hardened with resolve.

These two were despicable and deserved their fate.

Furthermore, being accomplices in the poisoning of Duanmu Qingshan's wife and daughter meant that they could not be spared.

"Have mercy! Have mercy, we know we were wrong!" Li Liang and Yang Wei wailed, begging for forgiveness.

However, there was no sympathy for them.

Even their own disciples turned away, ashamed to be associated with them.

"Take them away, submerge them beneath the Xuanyin Pool, and set a date for their execution!"

"Yes, the position of sect leader belongs to no one but you!"

Ling Feng looked helplessly at Duanmu Qingshan and asked, "Master, can I refuse?"

"I am your master, so naturally, you must listen to me." Duanmu Qingshan patted Ling Feng's shoulder, chuckling.

"But Master, I saved your life."

"I am your master!"

"I also helped you restore your cultivation."

"I am your master!"

"I even helped you avenge your grievances."

"I am your master!"

"I..." Ling Feng rolled his eyes. "Master, can't you be a bit more reasonable?"

"Hey, Little Feng, think about it. You're so young, yet you'll become the head of a sect. How cool is that? How domineering! Most people your age are still struggling as ordinary disciples."

"But I don't enjoy dealing with sect affairs. I still need to focus on my cultivation, and I have many other responsibilities!"

"As long as you agree to take on this role, I will do my utmost to assist you in all matters!" Elder Yao immediately stepped forward and assured.

"Little Feng, I understand that this is a responsibility that I should bear, but whenever I think of my poor Little Rou all alone, my heart..."

Duanmu Qingshan covered his chest. His eyes started to redden, as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

"Alright, alright, if I promise, will that satisfy you?" Ling Feng slapped his forehead and could only reluctantly agree with a wry smile.

"Haha, you said it yourself! A man's word is his bond, as firm as the galloping steeds!"

Duanmu Qingshan's expression swiftly changed, his eyebrows lively as he retrieved a wine gourd from his waist. With a hearty swig, he drained its contents in one go.

Ling Feng's lips twitched several times. Was he just outplayed?

Having finished his drink, Duanmu Qingshan casually tossed the wine gourd aside, then respectfully bowed to Ling Feng, loudly declaring, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Instantly, all the elders, attendants, and disciples in the vicinity knelt down in unison, respectfully addressing him, "Paying respect to Sect Leader Ling!"
