Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

"From this day forward, the Blood God Sect is disbanded!"

Lin Langtian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the aura of a great victory over Xue Wuya, and said indifferently.

In this vast world, the strong are respected. He won, and Xue Wuya lost, so all of this is only natural.

If Xue Wuyai hadn't given him some useful information, even the former would have died on the spot.

Faced with Lin Langtian's domineering attitude, no one dared to refute him at this moment.

Even the sect leader has been deposed, who would dare to utter a single word of dissent?

After easily dealing with the Blood God Sect, Lin Langtian said no more and turned to walk to the side of the Barbarian Emperor and the others.

He was not a bloodthirsty person. As the overlord of the Boundless Continent, the Blood God Sect had no less than 100,000 elders and disciples. He would not slaughter them all. In that case, it would be better to disband it.

Given his growth rate, even if there are people in the Blood God Sect who harbor resentment towards him, they probably can't catch up with his strength.

At the same time, the Barbarian Emperor and the other Qiankun Sect experts had been rescued from the stone pillar. Although they were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger.

The Barbarian Emperor and the others looked at Lin Langtian with eyes full of fervor and worship.

"Vice Sect Master, you are amazing!" the Barbarian Emperor and the others exclaimed excitedly.

The Blood God Sect is the dominant force on the Boundless Continent, and Blood Wuyai is a half-step Great Perfection expert.

Lin Langtian's feat of single-handedly crippling Xue Wuyai and disbanding the Blood God Sect would surely be a shocking event if it were to spread.

Even the Barbarian Emperor and the others thought they were doomed, but Lin Langtian appeared like a divine warrior descending from the heavens, suppressing the entire scene and rescuing them.

Lin Langtian waved his hand and said calmly, "Let's go home."

He raised his hand and waved, and a gentle force lifted the group up, carrying them into the air.

The dark golden light gradually faded away, leaving behind only the devastated ruins of Blood God Mountain and the pale-faced, trembling disciples of the Blood God Sect.

Xue Wuyai collapsed in the deep pit, staring at the gradually disappearing golden figure, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

"Lin Langtian..." he murmured, his voice hoarse, "You...you're so cruel..."

However, no one heard his voice.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but today's battle was destined to spread throughout the entire Wuji Continent, and even the entire Great Thousand World.

Lin Langtian, the vice sect master of Qiankun Sect, a high-level Earthly Sovereign, fought alone against the Blood God Sect, defeated a half-step Great Perfection cultivator, destroyed the ancient Blood God's Dharma Body, possessed eight high-level Earthly Sovereign-level demonic puppets, and also crippled Xue Wuyai's cultivation.

Every piece of news is enough to shock anyone.

Those forces that originally coveted the inheritance of the Undying King will have to reconsider their own worth from this day forward.

……

Meanwhile, Lin Langtian was traveling while mentally calculating information about the ancient Black Emperor and the Dark Source Pearl...

The ruins are located deep in the endless sea in the far east of the Great Thousand World, quite far from this place.

He couldn't go now; he had to send the Barbarian Emperor and the others back to the Qiankun Sect first before making any further plans.

Moreover, since the ruins contain the place where the ancient Heavenly Sovereign fell, they must be extremely dangerous.

He needs to be fully prepared before he can set out to explore.

However, these are all things that can be considered in the long run.

The most important thing right now is to bring the Barbarian Emperor and the others back to the Qiankun Sect safely.

Then, properly digest the gains from this trip... the legacy of the Undying King, the Immortal Golden Body, the Undying Heavenly Demon Armor, the demon puppets of the eight high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns, and the information about the Dark Source Pearl.

Lin Langtian's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

The world is truly wonderful...

While Lin Langtian was contemplating his future path, news of his defeat of Xue Wuyai spread far faster than the speed at which his group traveled.

While Lin Langtian and his companions were still searching for a teleportation array to return to the Qiankun Sect on the edge of the Wuji Continent, news of that earth-shattering battle had already spread like a plague, sweeping across dozens of surrounding continents.

"Have you heard? The Blood God Sect was wiped out by one person!"

"What? Blood God Sect? That's the Blood God Sect, one of the top forces in the Boundless Continent! Sect Master Xue Wuyai is a half-step Earthly Sovereign at the Great Perfection!"

"It's absolutely true! It's said that a young man named Lin Langtian, from the Qiankun Sect, was the sect's vice sect leader. He single-handedly stormed the Blood God Sect's headquarters, defeating three high-ranking Earthly Sovereign Elders—Xue Tu, Xue Ming, and Xue Sha—against three opponents. Then, he fought Xue Wuyai for three hundred rounds, ultimately destroying the ancient Blood God's Dharma Body, crippling Xue Wuyai's cultivation, and disbanding the Blood God Sect on the spot!"

"This...this is impossible, right? How could a young man have such strength?"

"How could it be impossible? It's said that he obtained the complete inheritance of the Undying King, cultivated an immortal golden body, and even possesses eight high-ranking Earthly Sovereign-level demonic puppets!"

"My God... the Qiankun Sect is about to rise to power..."

Similar dialogues have been repeatedly staged in countless cities and countless sects.

The name Lin Langtian rose like a comet, and within just a few days, it resounded throughout dozens of surrounding continents.

Some were shocked, some were skeptical, some were in awe, and some were envious.

But from this moment on, no one dared to underestimate the Qiankun Sect, and no one dared to underestimate Lin Langtian, who rose like a comet.

……

As rumors intensified, Lin Langtian and his group, the protagonists, finally returned to the Qiankun Sect via a teleportation array, a month later.

The light from the teleportation array slowly dissipated in the forbidden area behind the Qiankun Sect, and Lin Langtian led the Barbarian Emperor and others out of the portal.

They had barely steadied themselves when they were stunned by the sight before them.

The entire forbidden area behind the mountain was packed with people.

Sect Master Qian Tian stood at the forefront, followed by three elders, king-level experts from various peaks and halls, and hundreds of core disciples.

All eyes were on Lin Langtian, filled with excitement, admiration, fervor, and an undisguised sense of pride.

"He's back! The Vice Sect Master is back!"

It's unclear who shouted it first, but then a deafening roar of cheers erupted!

"The Vice Sect Master is mighty!"

"Long live the Qiankun Sect!"

"Lin Langtian! Lin Langtian! Lin Langtian!"

The sound waves surged like a tidal wave, soaring straight to the heavens, causing the entire back mountain to tremble slightly. Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly, nor had he anticipated that the sect would put on such a grand welcome for him.

He looked at Qian Tian, ​​who was smiling at him, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

"Sect Master, this is..." Lin Langtian stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

Qian Tian waved his hand and laughed, "You still want to keep it from me? The news from the Boundless Continent has already spread far and wide."

You shone brightly in the Undying King's Ruins, obtained the Undying King's inheritance, and single-handedly stormed the Blood God Sect, defeating three high-ranking Earthly Sovereign Elders, destroying the Ancient Blood God's Dharma Body, crippling Xue Wuyai's cultivation, and even disbanding the Blood God Sect...

Each of these is a momentous event, and you still want to keep a low profile?

Lin Langtian hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly, so he said with a wry smile, "I just went to rescue people, I didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss."

"Save people?" Qian Tian laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"What a brilliant rescue! You manage to wipe out someone's entire sect while doing so? You bastard, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

The three elders behind him also stepped forward, all of them beaming with joy.

The First Elder looked at Lin Langtian, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes. He then stroked his beard and sighed, "I have lived for hundreds of years and have never seen such a feat. Vice Sect Master, you have truly brought honor to our Qiankun Sect!"

As Lin Langtian's mentor, the Grand Elder personally brought Lin Langtian into the Qiankun Sect. However, even he did not expect that Lin Langtian, this "country bumpkin" from the lower plane, would achieve such great success.

The Second Elder was also shocked by Lin Langtian's achievements. At this moment, he put away his thoughts of relying on his seniority and was completely convinced of his abilities, nodding repeatedly.

"The Blood God Sect and my Qiankun Sect have had a feud for hundreds of years. Now, the Vice Sect Master has wiped them out single-handedly. It's truly gratifying! It's so gratifying!"

The Third Elder was equally excited, saying, "Sect Master, you truly have a discerning eye for talent! You knew the Vice Sect Master was no ordinary person! In fact, when he first came to the Qiankun Sect, I had already seen that he had a bright future! And now it has indeed come true!"

Qian Tian smiled and shook his head at the Third Elder's self-promotion. Then, he glanced at the excited disciples and announced loudly, "Pass down the order: a banquet will be held today to welcome the Vice Sect Master! The entire sect will celebrate for three days!"

"As ordered!"

Cheers erupted once again.

……

At the banquet, toasts were exchanged and the atmosphere was lively and festive.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Langtian drank one cup of wine after another, a faint smile always on his face.

He saw Jiang Yinlan, the aloof and beautiful woman who had been his partner for many years. She was standing quietly at the edge of the crowd, her clear eyes glistening with tears, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, revealing a rare smile.

He saw Mu Honglian, that lively woman, who was tugging at Jiang Yinlan's sleeve, excitedly talking about something, her eyes glancing at Lin Langtian from time to time, her eyes full of admiration.

He also saw many familiar faces, the kings who had fought alongside him, all looking at him with an almost fanatical reverence.

The banquet lasted until late at night before the crowd gradually dispersed.

Lin Langtian was summoned to the sect leader's main hall by Qian Tian.

Inside the main hall, the candlelight flickered, and only the two of them were there.

Lin Langtian looked at Qian Tian ahead, his eyes flickering slightly, wondering what the latter meant by calling him alone.

Qian Tian stood with his hands behind his back by the window, gazing at the night sky outside. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Lang Tian, ​​I have an idea."

Lin Langtian clasped his hands and said, "Sect Master, please speak."

Qian Tian turned around and looked at him intently: "I wish to abdicate and let you succeed me as the sect leader of Qiankun Sect."

Lin Langtian was taken aback, not expecting Qian Tian to make such a request. However, he didn't care whether the latter was being sincere or not, and quickly shook his head, saying, "Sect Master, how can this be? My qualifications are still shallow, and my prestige is insufficient. How can I shoulder such an important responsibility?"

Qian Tian waved his hand, interrupting him: "Seniority? Prestige? You single-handedly destroyed the Blood God Sect, defeated a half-step Great Perfection cultivator, and crippled Xue Wuyai's cultivation. Such achievements have never been seen since the founding of the Qiankun Sect. If you lack prestige, who else is qualified?"

He paused, then continued, "I am getting old, and my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, making further progress difficult."

But you are different. You are young, with a bright future ahead. Only with the Qiankun Sect in your hands can you go further.

Lin Langtian remained silent for a moment. He realized that Qian Tian did indeed have the idea of ​​stepping down and handing over the throne to a more capable person.

After all, Qian Tian was right. If Lin Langtian were to take charge of the Qiankun Sect, its future would be limitless.

However, after pondering for a moment, Lin Langtian slowly shook his head.

"Sect Master, I cannot accept this."

Qian Tian frowned slightly: "Why?"

Lin Langtian raised his head, his gaze frank: "The sect leader should know that I come from a lower plane, therefore my ambition is not for the position of sect leader."

I cultivate to pursue higher realms and explore a wider world. The Qiankun Sect is my home in this vast world; I am willing to protect it, but I do not wish to be bound by it.

He paused, then continued, "The sect leader is in his prime, with profound cultivation, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to lead the sect for several more centuries."

I will continue to serve as the deputy sect leader, but I request that the sect leader rescind his decision regarding the position of sect leader.

For Lin Langtian, although taking charge of the Qiankun Sect was prestigious, his goal was greater strength, not temporary power.

Moreover, once he gains strength, he will establish his own trusted forces like Lin Dong and Xiao Yan, which is his true desire.

Qian Tian looked at Lin Langtian and remained silent for a long time.

He saw the determination in Lin Langtian's eyes, and the indifference that remained unmoved by power and position.

He knew the young man was speaking from the heart.

His ambition was indeed not for the position of sect leader.

Thinking of this, Qian Tian sighed softly. He knew that the small Qiankun Sect could not keep such a great figure as Lin Langtian. The latter's future would probably exceed his imagination.

"Fine." Qian Tian sighed and said with a wry smile, "I knew you wouldn't agree."

He patted Lin Langtian on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Since that's the case, I won't force you."

However, from this day forward, your status in the Qiankun Sect is no different from that of the Sect Master. Anyone who dares to disrespect you is disrespecting me.

Lin Langtian clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Sect Master."

Qian Tian waved his hand, turned around and looked out the window, his gaze deep.

"Langtian, after you came to the Great Thousand World, Qiankun Sect is your first stop." He murmured, "I hope that no matter how much you grow in the future, you can regard Qiankun Sect as your home."

"Please rest assured, Sect Master, I have grown up in the Qiankun Sect and I will never forget the kindness shown to me by the Sect Master and the Qiankun Sect," Lin Langtian said solemnly, cupping his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing this, Qian Tian's face showed a relieved smile... (End of this chapter)
