Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 170 The Appointment of Zhang Xiaofan

Even many disciples of Dragon Head Peak, upon hearing this, had a slight change in expression, looking at Daoist Cangsong with disbelief and confusion in their eyes.

Clearly, most of the disciples of Dragon Head Peak could not fathom what Daoist Cangsong was thinking.

Qi Hao, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh softly, raising his hand to stop the other Dragon Head Peak disciples from discussing, and said in a low voice.

"This is Master's dying wish; it must not be discussed lightly!"

Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, and the others all sighed softly, clearly understanding what Cangsong Daoren was thinking. He was simply worried that his disciple would follow in his footsteps in the future.

Dao Xuan Zhenren's face remained expressionless; he simply spoke indifferently.

"Can!"

"The second thing is that after my death, you may bury me beneath Dragon Abyss."

As the Taoist Cangsong spoke, a hint of guilt, even regret, appeared in his eyes.

Of all the things that happened, what Daoist Cangsong regretted most was that he recklessly joined forces with the Demonic Sect to attack Qingyun, thus bringing shame upon his mentor.

Brother Wan was indeed incredibly kind to me, having saved my life, but my mentor treated me just as his own son.

But his mentor died from his injuries during a great battle with the Demonic Sect. Yet he, this unworthy disciple, actually colluded with the Demonic Sect to attack Qingyun, which his mentor had protected with his life.

"I know that I am guilty of grave sins and have no face to serve my master's spirit. I only beg the sect leader to show mercy and allow me to look up at Dragon Head Peak day and night from the depths of Dragon Abyss."

"allow!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren spoke sparingly as always, while Tian Buyi, standing to the side, couldn't help but turn to look at Dao Xuan Zhenren. Dao Xuan Zhenren seemed to sense something and spoke in a deep voice.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​why don't you personally see him off?"

Tian Buyi was taken aback. He looked deeply at Dao Xuan Zhenren with his chubby eyes, but Dao Xuan Zhenren never turned to look at him.

After a pause, Tian Buyi finally spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After sighing, Tian Buyi came to the side of Cangsong Daoren, looked at his former estranged fellow disciple with complicated eyes, sighed softly, and said.

"Let's go, Senior Brother Cangsong!"

Daoist Cangsong couldn't help but glance at Tian Buyi again, his guilt deepening. He never expected that even with such grave sins, his former fellow disciples still regarded him as a disciple of Qingyun, and his own disciples still regarded him as their mentor.

"Thank you!"

Daoist Cangsong responded and then turned to walk out of the Jade Purity Hall.

Watching that receding figure, many righteous cultivators felt a mix of emotions, and the Qingyun disciples felt even worse.

Lin Jingyu stared blankly at the receding figure of the Cangsong Daoist, and the image of the man's resolute and upright face involuntarily appeared in his mind. For a moment, he was in a daze and almost subconsciously called out a name.

"Master!"

Cangsong Daoren paused, and Tian Buyi did not urge him on. At this moment, the disciples of Longshou Peak seemed to be awakened by Lin Jingyu's cry of "Master" and called out in unison.

"Master! Master!"

Qi Hao remained silent, his eyes reddening as he stared at the back of the Cangsong Daoist. Suddenly, a sigh was heard, and then the Cangsong Daoist took another step and walked out of the hall, with Tian Buyi following behind him at a leisurely pace.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two figures, one tall and one short, one thin and one fat, left the Jade Purity Palace and gradually disappeared beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

Dao Xuan Zhenren slowly withdrew his gaze, but his hands clenched involuntarily. After taking a deep breath, he scanned the area and said in a deep voice.

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, the position of the head of Dragon Head Peak is currently vacant. Do any of you have a candidate to recommend?"

Although it was a private matter of the Qingyun Sect, Daoist Cangsong was, after all, colluding with the Demonic Sect. Therefore, Dao Xuan Zhenren did not hide it from outsiders and directly told the group of chief elders about it, also in order to reassure the righteous sects.

However, the other four leaders were at a loss for words upon hearing this.

After all, Daoist Cangsong had previously stated that the position of head disciple would not be passed on to the disciples of Dragon Head Peak, in order to avoid suspicion.

Daoist Cangsong has already set a precedent of colluding with the Demonic Sect. Who knows if his disciples will do the same? With this concern, the disciples of Dragon Head Peak are very likely to be subjected to strange looks or even criticism.

If the evil sect interferes again and plots against us in secret, it could very likely lead some disciples astray.

Daoist Cangsong had already made a mistake once, so naturally he didn't want his disciple to go down the wrong path in the future.

Seeing that no one spoke, Dao Xuan Zhenren seemed to be in a dilemma. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.

"Since none of my fellow disciples have a suitable candidate, I believe that Junior Nephew Zhang might be qualified for the position of head of Dragon Head Peak!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren's words stirred up a huge wave of discussion. The Jade Purity Hall was instantly in an uproar.

However, the noisy discussion quickly subsided because everyone realized that this person was indeed a very suitable candidate.

In terms of strength, Zhang Xiaofan is now a master of the Shangqing Realm, and he cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism. He also seems to have created some kind of special and powerful sword technique. In terms of strength, Zhang Xiaofan is definitely not weaker than some of the chief disciples.

In terms of prestige within the sect, Zhang Xiaofan's prestige is unmatched among all the disciples. In fact, apart from the sect leader, Dao Xuan Zhenren, even the head elders of the other branches cannot compare to him.

In terms of prestige within the righteous path, needless to say, Zhang Xiaofan is currently unmatched by anyone in the righteous path, except for the head of the Qingyun Sect and the abbot of the Tianyin Temple. His battle at Liubo Mountain was simply too dazzling.

It could be said that even if Zhang Xiaofan and Wanrenwang spent all their time together, people would only suspect that Zhang Xiaofan was being blackmailed by Wanrenwang.

Master Shuiyue turned to look at Dao Xuan Zhenren. No wonder Dao Xuan Zhenren wanted Tian Buyi to leave; he was afraid Tian Buyi wouldn't agree.

After all, who would want their disciple to suddenly be lured away to another lineage?

However, this was something Master Shuiyue was happy to see; at least her disciple wasn't marrying into Dazhu Peak.

"What the sect leader said makes sense. I also think that Zhang Xiaofan is indeed suitable to succeed Senior Brother Cangsong."

"Sister?"

Su Ru was startled upon hearing this, not because she was surprised that Master Shuiyue still addressed Cangsong as her senior brother, but because she was surprised that Master Shuiyue would speak up for Zhang Xiaofan.

As the master's wife, Su Ru did not insist that Zhang Xiaofan stay at Dazhu Peak to take over as the head of the sect. Moreover, this made Song Daren and Wen Min have a plan.

After Shang Zhengliang, Zeng Shuchang, and the others realized what was happening, they all smiled and agreed.

Upon seeing this, Dao Xuan Zhenren immediately made a decision.

"In that case, Zhang Xiaofan, from this day forward, you will be the head of Dragon Head Peak and in charge of the Punishment Hall!"
