The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 207 Wu Ying's Succession
Li Ruo cried out in pain and then fell to the ground, covering her dantian in agony.

In the Dantian, the original spiritual roots were being uprooted by the sweeping spiritual power.

The feeling was like having an organ removed from a person, extremely painful.

Li Ruo's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip tightly.

She kept reminding herself that the Spirit Cleansing Herb was so precious that her master had given it to her.

This time, the soul cleansing must succeed, failure is not allowed!

With the determination to win, Li Ruo endured the severe pain and struggled to sit cross-legged.

Even though his body was shaking and veins were bulging, he still couldn't be shaken.

Song Wanning sat aside as a guardian, ready to take action to deal with any emergency at any time.

Seeing Li Ruo's realization, she felt relieved and silently hoped for a good outcome.

...

Two days later, Li Ruo's breath finally stabilized and he let out a long breath.

At this time, her clothes were already completely soaked with sweat and blood, and her hair was stuck to her face, making her look very disheveled.

But her eyes were surprisingly bright.

"Master, I succeeded!"

"I-I now have dual spiritual roots of fire and wood!!!"

Li Ruo burst into tears almost the next moment.

Although he failed to become a genius with a single spiritual root, his dual spiritual roots are also very good!

Especially since he has the fire and wood spiritual roots, he is a natural alchemy talent.

She cried with joy, and Song Wanning was also happy for her.

It seems that her alchemy skills may have found a successor.

...

Many disciples gathered in the Wentian Sect Square.

"Who do you think will be the new leader?"

"It's hard to say. These elders have been secretly competing with each other recently. It seems that they all have their eyes on that position."

"I noticed that the Second Elder had a good relationship with Master Song. Will the position of Sect Leader fall to her?"

"It's hard to say. We'll have to wait and see how the Yuanying Zhenjuns vote to find out the outcome."

Originally, the position of the sect leader was selected and trained by the sect leaders of each generation, and as long as they did not make any major mistakes, they would succeed.

But if it is someone like He Xiao, the sect will have to choose a new leader.

In fact, at the beginning, the ancestor was going to directly appoint the sect leader, but after thinking about it, he was the only ancestor who had reached the level of a spirit being in the Wentian Sect. If the chosen sect leader caused any scandal, he would have to be blamed.

It would be better to let everyone run for election and choose a leader who can win the support of the people.

"Oh, it would be great if Master Song is willing. Master Song is very capable and everyone respects her. She is the most suitable person to sit in this position."

"Who says not? But Master Song is devoted to the Dao and may ascend to heaven in the near future. Why would he be willing to waste time in this position?"

Unknowingly, Song Wanning's reputation within the sect had completely changed.

When they mentioned her, the disciples were filled with admiration and worship, and no longer had the laughter and ridicule they had in the past.

Song Wanning sat on the high platform, looking at the elders who were dressed up today, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Especially the Seventh Elder, who usually wears the same pants as He Xiao, was beaming and looked very proud today.

On the contrary, He Xiao was full of resentment, sitting in the corner with a gloomy face and very low-key.

Two days ago, the Seventh Elder canvassed for votes with several Nascent Soul True Lords who were not participating in the election, and I heard they also promised them a lot of good things.

Song Wanning didn't really care who became the sect leader, but there were other Song family disciples in the Wentian Sect, and she needed to make plans for them. A dark light flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

As the acting clan leader, Song Wanning was in charge of the entire election.

The election process was also very old-fashioned. First, the elders participating in the election spoke, looking forward to the future and painting a rosy picture for the disciples and Yuanying Zhenjun.

Song Wanning felt sleepy as she listened, and she rested her chin on her hand, listening to their endless chatter out of boredom.

Fortunately, there was He Xiao's ever-changing expressions to entertain her, which made the life a little less boring.

After the speeches, it was time for the most crucial voting phase.

The voting was secret, and each Yuanying Zhenjun present put his or her choice into the box.

Song Wanning asked a deacon elder to lead the disciples to count the votes, and the results were soon announced on the water curtain.

Looking at the pitiful vote of the Second Elder, Song Wanning almost laughed out loud.

The Second Elder glared at her, "What are you laughing at? If they didn't choose me, they'd be blind!"

She tightened her lip lines in dissatisfaction. Although she didn't really want to be the sect leader, she was still quite frustrated that no one chose her.

"I'm laughing at you because you're as unpopular as I am."

Song Wanning laughed even more happily.

The second elder has a similar temper to hers. He doesn't speak or act in a roundabout way, but he is indeed not very popular.

This defeat was also expected.

"Humph! When it comes to being unpopular, who dares to compare with you!"

The second elder hummed a few times, but the embarrassment in his heart was dispelled by the jokes.

Looking at the other elders on the stage, their expressions were not very good.

Especially the Seventh Elder, whose face was pale with a hint of darkness.

Clearly, those people had agreed to his proposal, but when the results came out, the person with the highest number of votes turned out to be the Fourth Elder.

The fourth elder who speaks little and has little presence.

The fourth elder is a female cultivator who is over two hundred years old this year. She was injured in her early years and her foundation was damaged, resulting in extremely slow advancement in her cultivation. She has remained in the early Nascent Soul stage for many years.

No one expected that such an "honest man" would successfully take the position of leader.

The Seventh Elder was so angry that his face turned black, but He Xiao, who had fallen out with him, smiled coldly.

He deserves it for betraying himself!
"The results are out. From today on, Fourth Elder Wu Ying will assume the position of Sect Master of the Wentian Sect. I will report the results to the ancestor!"

Song Wanning stood up, announced the result directly and left without even bothering to say a word of official encouragement.

Wu Ying looked calm and composed, not angry at all. She delivered a speech of gratitude for the succession and left amid the cheers and applause of her disciples.

No matter how dissatisfied the other elders were, they could only endure it and dispersed in disappointment.

Only He Xiao was left sitting in the corner with a gloomy look on his face, his eyes full of resentment.

...

In the master's hall, Wu Ying was holding the bottle of elixir in her hand, feeling very excited.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Song. Don't worry, I know what to do next!"

The medicine bottle contains her future. Song Wanning said that she would find a way to help her refine medicine to repair her injuries in the future. One day, her old injuries can be healed, and there will be hope of ascension.

Such a great favor was simply asking her to provide more convenience to the Song family disciples when managing the sect. Of course, she would not refuse.

"Well, it's good to be able to help Senior Sister Wu."

Song Wanning smiled when she heard this, and her words were full of deep meaning.

"From now on, the Song family will be Senior Sister Wu's support. If you need anything, just contact my father directly."

She deliberately chose Wu Ying, who had no family background, to succeed the position of clan leader for the sake of the development of the Song family.
