Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Hall!
On the high platform, Tian Buyi, the head of Dazhu Peak, Shuiyue Zhenren, the head of Xiaozhu Peak, Zeng Shuchang, the head of Fenghui Peak, Chu Yuhong, the head of Chaoyang Peak, Feiyun Daoren, the head of Luoxia Peak, and Qi Hao, the head of Longshou Peak, sat in their respective head seats.

The central position for the sect leader was empty.

Only Xiao Yicai stood to the left of the sect leader's seat, his expression complex...

Eight hundred Qingyun disciples stood in the main hall below.

Having survived the great battle between good and evil, and the two bloody battles against the Beast God's attack on the mountain, the Qingyun Sect suffered heavy casualties. Now, with all seven branches combined, only eight hundred disciples remain.

It should be noted that the Qingyun Sect once had over four hundred disciples just from the Chaoyang Peak lineage.

However, these remaining eight hundred disciples were the elite of the elite.

They were all highly skilled in Taoism, possessed superb Taoist techniques, and had rich combat experience.

Disciples such as Lu Xueqi, Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu, Peng Chang, Tian Ling'er, and Song Daren are all included in this list.

Moreover, they were standing in front of them.

Tian Buyi sat on a stone chair. Although he was short and stout, he was highly skilled in Taoism. In addition, he usually had a stern face, so the disciples of Qingyun were all a little afraid of him.

Moreover, since the sect leader Dao Xuan Zhenren is missing and the head of Longshou Peak, Cangsong Zhenren, has died, Tian Buyi is the most prestigious person in the main hall at this moment, followed by Shuiyue Zhenren and Zeng Shuchang.

As for Qi Hao, Chu Yuhong was merely a junior, and his cultivation level was not up to Shangqing, so his prestige was far inferior to that of Master Shuiyue and others.

The head of Luoxia Peak, Daoist Feiyun, looked old. Although he was of the same generation as Tian Buyi, Shuiyue Zhenren, and Zeng Shuchang, his cultivation level was only at the peak of Yuqing, so his prestige was not very high.

After all, in this world, strength reigns supreme, and strength determines everything!

Tian Buyi glanced at the eight hundred Qingyun disciples below with his small eyes and sighed deeply.

More than a decade ago, the disciples of Qingyun filled the vast Yuqing Hall.

Now, however, it appears somewhat sparse, which weighs heavily on his heart.

"Ugh!"

With a soft sigh, Tian Buyi glanced at Xiao Yicai and said:

"Nephew Xiao, announce the passing of our sect leader..."

Tian Buyi originally intended to say his last words, but considering that the seventh brother might be able to save his senior brother, the sect leader, he changed his mind and said:
"Announce the sect leader's order!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yicai immediately bowed to Tian Buyi, the most skilled cultivator in Qingyun Sect, to show his respect, and then said:

"Yes, Uncle Tian!"

After speaking, Xiao Yicai turned around to face the eight hundred Qingyun disciples below the platform. His mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.

Because he wanted to be the sect leader, he really wanted to be the sect leader, and he was unwilling to hand it over to someone else.

Unfortunately, given the current trend, it's no longer his turn to be the sect leader.

He delayed for several days, but ultimately it was too late to reverse the situation.
Seeing Xiao Yicai hesitate, Tian Buyi's face darkened, and he gave a soft snort:
"Humph!"

Although it was just a soft hum, Xiao Yicai's body trembled as he thought of the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique he had seen from afar last night.

Such terrifying power is definitely not something that a peak-level Shangqing cultivator could unleash.

This indicates that Tian Buyi has broken through the peak of Shangqing and has at least reached the half-step Taiqing level.

Therefore, Xiao Yicai immediately and unwillingly proclaimed:

"Fellow disciples, our sect leader was severely injured in his battle with the Beast God and could not recover at Qingyun Sect. Therefore, he has left Qingyun Sect to search for rare and precious elixirs throughout the cultivation world..."

As soon as Xiao Yicai finished speaking, the eight hundred disciples were filled with fear and began to discuss among themselves.

"What? The sect leader is so badly injured?"

"An incurable disease? The sect leader has truly devoted his whole life to the Qingyun Sect and the people of the world."

"We hope the sect leader can find a miraculous cure to heal this incurable disease." "By the way, now that the sect leader is gone, Qingyun cannot be without a leader. Who will become the sect leader?"

"That goes without saying, the position of sect leader has always been held by Tongtian Peak."

"Among the disciples of Tongtian Peak, the strongest is Senior Brother Xiao Yicai."

"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai is the sect leader's only personal disciple, so it is only right that Senior Brother Xiao Yicai should serve as the sect leader."

The disciples discussed among themselves, all feeling that Xiao Yicai should be appointed as the sect leader.

After all, according to the ancestral precepts of the Qingyun Sect, the position of sect leader must be held by the Tongtian Peak lineage, and this cannot be changed.

But some disciples glanced at Xiao Yicai and muttered under their breath:

"Although Senior Brother Xiao is the strongest in the Tongtian Peak lineage, he has not yet reached the Shangqing realm."

"Yes, among the younger generation of my Qingyun Sect, Junior Sister Lu Xueqi has reached the late stage of Shangqing realm, and Junior Brother Lin Jingyu is also at the Shangqing realm."

"In terms of strength, both Junior Brother Lin Jingyu and Junior Sister Lu Xueqi are far superior to Senior Brother Xiao Yicai."

"To be honest, although the peak of Jade Purity is strong, our Qingyun is the leader of the righteous path. If Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, who is only at the peak of Jade Purity, were to become the leader of Qingyun, wouldn't it make all the righteous sects in the world laugh their heads off? Anyway, I am not convinced."

"So what if you disagree? The Qingyun Ancestral Rules are here. The strongest member of the Tongtian Peak lineage is Senior Brother Xiao Yicai. Therefore, the sect leader can only be Senior Brother Xiao Yicai."

"Hmph, do you know that within my Qingyun Sect, there is an even stronger disciple, a prodigy comparable to Ancestor Qingye..."

“I know, Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan.”

"Junior Brother Zhang was the champion of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament back then, and the strongest among the younger generation."

"A few days ago, the Beast God was seriously injured by the Sect Leader, but the Sect Leader was so badly injured that he fainted and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation dissipated."

"When the Beast God saw that the sect leader had fainted, he launched a surprise attack."

"If it weren't for Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan single-handedly repelling the Beast God and saving Qingyun, how could we be standing here talking?"

"Yes, it was Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan who saved us."

"Moreover, on that day at the foot of Tongtian Peak, our three hundred disciples were about to be swallowed up by the beast tide. It was at that time that Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan arrived... killed several demon kings, and led us to annihilate the beast tide."

"In my opinion, now that the sect leader has left, Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan should take over as the Qingyun sect leader. No one else can do it."

"Yes, I think so too. Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan has reached the supreme realm of Taiqing, and is as powerful as the Sect Leader."

"Senior Brother Xiao Yicai has cultivated for over a hundred years, but he is only at the peak of the Jade Purity Realm. How can he compare to Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan?"

"Anyway, I am not satisfied with Senior Brother Xiao Yicai becoming the sect leader."

"Yes, I disagree too."

Upon hearing this, some disciples of Tongtian Peak immediately retorted: "However, Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan is currently in the Demonic Sect, and he even betrayed Qingyun back then."

"Hmph, so what? Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan was an undercover agent in the Demonic Sect. Otherwise, why would he have returned to Qingyun Sect a few days ago? He defeated the beast tide, repelled the Beast God, and saved Qingyun?"

"Yes, yes, Junior Brother Zhang Xiaofan is an undercover agent of the Demonic Sect, but his heart is with Qingyun."

……

Lu Xueqi stood in front of the eight hundred disciples, listening to the discussions among her senior brothers and sisters, a look of surprise appearing on her usually aloof face.

She knew Zhang Xiaofan had a high reputation in the Qingyun Sect, but she didn't expect it to be this high.

Most of the disciples, from senior to junior, chose Zhang Xiaofan as their leader.

It should be noted that according to the ancestral precepts of Qingyun Sect, the position of sect leader can only be held by the Tongtian Peak lineage.

Even so, most disciples recommended Zhang Xiaofan as the sect leader.
