Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

A burly middle-aged man in red armor spoke up as a heated discussion took place in the main hall of the Beast Taming Sect's main peak.

"Zhou Qin, Xuanjizi is, after all, the former peak master. I think we should respect his opinion."

After hearing the man in red armor speak, the man in blue cloth sitting opposite him spoke up.

"Hmph, Xuanjizi only did good for the Beast Taming Sect in his early years, otherwise I would have overturned his Qingxuan Peak long ago."

"Everyone has witnessed how much our Demon Suppression Peak has contributed to the sect over the years, and there's no need to elaborate on how dilapidated Qingxuan Peak has become."

Zhou Qin's words left everyone in the hall speechless.

Indeed, under Xuanjizi's leadership, Qingxuan Peak has gradually fallen into disrepair over the years. The vast peak is now devoid of disciples, overgrown with weeds, and only occasionally receives help from people from other peaks of the sect. Apart from that, it is utterly devoid of life...

Meanwhile, Song Xun had already left Zuoping County after Tang He's farewell, heading towards the Beast Taming Sect with a map in hand, completely unaware that a fierce argument was taking place within the sect over his return.

After killing Hu San yesterday, Huang Bulang received high praise at midnight today, which also helped Song Xun accumulate a lot of Dao Energy Points.

The "Beast Path Immortal Record" absorbed the pure blood of the Crimson Mountain Tiger and further evolved the Yellow Dog. Now, Huang Bulang's cultivation has reached the early stage of the Core Formation Realm, which also gives Song Xun some power to protect himself on this journey.

Song Xun wasn't sure what kind of treatment he would receive after going to the Beast Taming Sect, but he firmly told himself that he would definitely revitalize Qingxuan Peak and even the Beast Taming Sect.

With this belief, the young man resolutely headed towards the Beast Taming Sect.

......

Lin Canghai, the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect, sat in the main seat and listened to the discussion. He was deep in thought. Last night, he received a message from Xuanjizi, who had been away from the sect for several days, and learned that Xuanjizi had passed away.

In recent years, Xuanjizi has been traveling extensively, supposedly in search of disciples with whom he has a master-disciple relationship. Although he often slays demons and monsters while traveling, he has accumulated a good reputation for the Beast Taming Sect.

However, as the peak master, he neglected Qingxuan Peak, resulting in Qingxuan Peak, one of the nine major branches, being so desolate, with only one peak master who was often away from the sect. As the peak master, this was a dereliction of duty.

Some time ago, Xuanjizi participated in a demon-slaying battle outside, and his battle beast perished. Therefore, he returned to the sect. Although Lin Canghai felt sorry for Xuanjizi at the time, at least the peak master of Qingxuan Peak had returned.

Lin Canghai was preparing to let Xuanjizi recuperate in the Beast Taming Sect, and at the same time develop Qingxuan Peak, so as to find something for him to do in his later years. Unexpectedly, Xuanjizi suddenly left the sect.

Since Xuanjizi had often left the sect without a trace in the past, Lin Canghai did not pay attention even when a disciple on duty reported that Xuanjizi had left the sect again.

Unexpectedly, the next message he received was a death notice from Xuanjizi.

Lin Canghai and Xuanjizi were disciples who joined the Beast Taming Sect together. At that time, both of them performed exceptionally well in the outer sect, and were therefore accepted as personal disciples by the former sect leader and the former Qingxuan Peak Master, respectively. The two were also considered close friends.

Upon receiving the message, Lin Canghai was saddened by the loss of his old friend. However, Xuanjizi's letter also mentioned something else that, despite their close friendship, he could not make a decision on his own.

Xuanjizi planned to have his late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple directly succeed as the peak master of Qingxuan Peak.

This is no small matter. The Beast Taming Sect is a large sect with a sect master, a supreme elder, two elders, and nine peak masters. The peak master's position in the sect is already at the highest level.

Therefore, Lin Canghai could only convene two elders and the nine peak masters to discuss this matter, and the outcome of the discussion was not optimistic.

"What other peak masters have to say? Please feel free to speak your mind. This matter will eventually be settled, since Xuanjizi's disciple will be arriving soon."

"Sect Master, I don't think there's much more to say. Xuanjizi's disciple should naturally not be mistreated, but I don't think we can directly let him succeed as the Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak."

Zhou Qin continued speaking. As the peak master of Zhenmo Peak, Zhou Qin had a lot of influence among the nine peak masters. Zhenmo Peak was not only a place for the sect to train disciples, but also the location of the sect's mission hall. Therefore, Zhou Qin also served as the hall master of the mission hall.

In terms of contributions to the sect, Zhou Qin's contributions are also very significant. Although all disciples of the sect take on missions through the Mission Hall, the disciples of Zhenmo Peak take on the most missions. Zhou Qin often leads teams to carry out high-difficulty missions to maintain the safety of the sect's territory.

"Sect Master, I believe that the choice of the Peak Master of Qingxuan Peak should still respect Xuanjizi's opinion. Although Xuanjizi has failed in his management of Qingxuan Peak over the years, he has also played a very positive role in the reputation of our Beast Taming Sect outside."

The man in blue continued speaking, clearly indicating that he preferred to respect Xuanjizi's will.

The man in blue was Luo Xing, the peak master of the Enforcement Peak, who was mainly responsible for maintaining the sect's rules. Although he was in charge of internal law enforcement affairs, he was very humane and was more popular with the sect's disciples than Zhou Qin.

"Luo Xing, are you deliberately blocking me? A Foundation Establishment cultivator serving as a peak master is probably against the sect's rules."

"No, that's not the case. The sect's rules stipulate that the suggestions of the previous peak master must be given the utmost respect when it comes to the selection of the successor to the peak master."

Zhou Qin stood up angrily, about to continue confronting Luo Xing, when Mu Shanhe, the peak master of Ten Thousand Beasts Peak, saw that the two were about to argue again and quickly pulled Zhou Qin back.

"Peak Master Zhou, don't be anxious. Everyone understands your thoughts. It's true that it's difficult for such a young upstart to win over the masses as peak master."

Hearing that someone was supporting him, Zhou Qin sat down, but Mu Shanhe spoke up immediately afterward.

"However, Xuanjizi has made remarkable contributions to the sect over the years. Not to mention anything else, most of the beasts raised on our Ten Thousand Beasts Peak were brought by Xuanjizi during his travels."

"How about this? I'll venture a suggestion: let this kid take on the role of peak master first."

Zhou Qin was about to stand up again when Sect Master Lin Canghai gestured for him to sit down.

"But he's just a temporary peak master. Each of us peak masters will assign him a task. If he can complete it, it will prove that he does have great potential. It wouldn't be unreasonable for the peak master of Qingxuan Peak to let him take on the role."

Hearing Mu Shanhe's words, everyone pondered. They had all read Xuanjizi's letter, and a young man praised by Xuanjizi must indeed be outstanding. This suggestion was neither too strict nor too casual.

"Sect Master, what do you think of this suggestion?"
