moment!
The entire Bright Summit Square fell into an absolute, deathly silence!
The eyes of thousands of people were wide open, like copper bells, their eyeballs almost popping out!
Abbess Miejue!
That's one of the top swordsmen in the martial arts world today!
In addition, there's the divine weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, which can cut through iron like mud!
Apart from Lin Xuan, who is a freak, everyone present was there.
Who dares to say they can definitely beat her?
Yet, this was a combination that commanded respect throughout the martial arts world.
He was actually defeated by an unknown girl! In just two moves!
One move to dismantle the divine sword!
He knocked someone down with a single move!
The entire process was smooth and effortless.
It's as ridiculous as disciplining a three-year-old who's just learning to walk!
How terrifying!
"Is this...is this an illusion...?"
Everyone was screaming wildly in their hearts.
The Abbess Miejue lay on the ground, forgetting even her anger, her mind blank.
She stared blankly at the fallen Heaven Sword not far away.
He looked up again at the innocent-looking girl.
"I...I lost..."
Abbess Miejue's voice was so dry and hoarse it was unbelievable.
Even after losing to Lin Xuan, she could still console herself with the thought that "he is an incomprehensible genius."
However, in the realm of swordsmanship, which he was so proud of, he was easily defeated in two moves by a girl wielding a broken bamboo stick.
This not only shattered her dignity as the leader of the Emei Sect, but also destroyed her decades of hard-earned faith in swordsmanship, turning it into an absurd joke!
"You flatter me, Master."
Lin Xuan slowly walked forward.
"The swordsmanship my sister practices is derived from the natural world. The great way is simple, and it has long transcended the shackles of worldly sword techniques."
Lin Xuan looked at Abbess Miejue, whose face was ashen.
"Don't even mention you. Even if your Emei Sect's founder were to be resurrected, he would be no match for her in terms of pure swordsmanship."
Although that statement was arrogant, it was in stark contrast to those two miraculous moves just now.
Yet, not a single person in the entire room dared to utter a word of rebuttal.
"Master, now, are you willing to keep your promise?"
Abbess Miejue took a deep breath.
It was as if he had aged ten years in that instant.
She struggled to her feet.
Picking up the Heaven-Slaying Sword, he staggered back to the Emei Sect's camp.
"This young lady's swordsmanship is unparalleled, transcendent... I am completely convinced!"
Extinction closed his eyes, his tone filled with endless desolation.
"Our Emei Sect accepts defeat. From this day forward, we will cease all attacks on the Ming Cult."
"Great!"
With the compromise of the last tough nut to crack.
A deafening roar of ecstatic joy erupted from the Ming Cult camp!
After the darkest hour comes the dawn!
In this inescapable dead end.
They were miraculously saved by this man who seemed to have descended from the heavens!
Countless followers were moved to tears, casting grateful and admiring glances at Lin Xuan.
Yin Tianzheng, Yang Xiao, and the others finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt genuine awe for Lin Xuan's methods.
At this time.
Song Yuanqiao stepped forward from the Wudang faction.
He represents those righteous people who, though they have given up, still harbor doubts in their hearts.
"Young Master Lin possesses great wisdom and courage, preventing a bloody massacre. We, the six major sects, naturally keep our promise and are willing to withdraw our troops."
Song Yuanqiao glanced at the demonic cultists across from him who were still cheering.
He asked with a worried expression, cupping his hands in greeting:
"But young master... members of the Ming Cult have always acted without restraint and with a free and undisciplined attitude. This ingrained habit of the past hundred years is hard to change!"
"Although you have vouched for them, they are numerous and of varying character. How can you guarantee that they will truly reform and stop committing evil deeds, and will no longer have any grudges or entanglements with our six factions?"
"If we wait until things calm down and they make a comeback, wouldn't our retreat today be like raising a tiger to cause trouble later?"
Song Yuanqiao's question hit the nail on the head, immediately resonating with many people from the six factions and eliciting concerns.
Faced with this crisis of trust that hits the core of the problem.
Lin Xuan remained calm and composed, and did not rush to answer.
At that moment, among the high-ranking members of the Ming Cult...
Yang Xiao, the Left Envoy of the Brightness Sect.
Suddenly, he strode out of the crowd!
His gaze swept over the righteous and skeptical figures before him.
He announced loudly in a booming voice:
"As for Master Song's concerns, I can give you the clearest guarantee right now!"
"From this day forward, I, Yang Xiao, am willing to formally welcome Lin Xuan and Young Master Lin as the thirty-fourth leader of my Ming Cult, in the name of the Left Guardian of Light!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned around, his gaze sweeping intently over the five scattered people, the five elemental flag masters, the white-browed eagle king, and the green-winged bat king who were still in a daze behind him.
"Our Ming Cult is facing a calamity today. If it weren't for Young Master Lin's righteous intervention, Bright Peak would have been reduced to ashes long ago! Young Master Lin's martial arts are unparalleled and his name is renowned throughout the land! If he doesn't take the position of leader and lead the Holy Cult, I, Yang Xiao, will be the first to object!"
"Brothers! Do you want to repeat the mistakes of this time, falling apart? I, Yang, am willing to serve Young Master Lin as my master. Are you willing? Are you convinced?"
Chapter 365: Lin Xuan, you really have some tricks up your sleeve!
As soon as Yang Xiao finished speaking, the entire Bright Summit Square fell into a deathly silence once again.
"Young Master Lin is going to become the leader of the Ming Cult?!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue for both the members of the Ming Cult and the heroes of the six major sects!
Within the Ming Cult camp, the first thing that erupted in the eyes of the vast number of cult members at the bottom who had escaped death was an uncontrollable ecstasy.
In their view.
At the most critical moment, Lin Xuan was like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, saving the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Ming Cult. This kindness is greater than the heavens!
Besides, who is Lin Xuan?
That person possesses unparalleled martial arts skills and is renowned far and wide; currently, he enjoys the highest prestige in the martial arts world.
He is even vaguely recognized as the peerless hero who is closest to becoming the number one martial arts master!
If such a god-like figure could become their leader, what obstacle would the Ming Cult be unable to overcome in the martial arts world?
Who would dare to bully them again?
Not only is their life safe, but it's also a great honor to talk about it!
Compared to the fervor of the lower-level followers, the Ming Cult's higher-ups—White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, the Five Wanderers, and the flag bearers of the Five Elements Flag—fell into a brief silence and intense contemplation.
“Well… Young Master Lin’s martial arts skills and prestige are undoubtedly beyond question. But… he is not a member of our Ming Cult, and we don’t even have the slightest connection to him…”
Zhou Dian frowned. Although he was very grateful, he still felt that it was a bit inappropriate to make an outsider the leader. "Letting an outsider be the leader seems to violate the rules of our ancestors, doesn't it?"
Yin Tianzheng also frowned, stroking his white beard as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Hearing these subtle whispers, a shrewd glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure-Winged Bat King, Wei Yixiao.
He nearly died from his previous attack of the cold poison, but Lin Xuan miraculously cured him.
Lin Xuan once said that there would be a time when he would be of use to him!
"Isn't this the time for me, Wei Yixiao, to repay my debt of gratitude and show my loyalty?"
Wei Yixiao's mind raced. He knew that with the Ming Cult currently in such a mess, leaderless and divided, no one could keep things in order except for a powerful outsider like Lin Xuan who possessed overwhelming strength!
Think this far!
Without hesitation, Wei Yixiao took a step forward, his sharp voice echoing across the square like an owl's cry:
"Zhou Dian! What are you still spouting about ancestral rules? If it weren't for Young Master Lin, we'd all be ghosts in hell today. What Ming Cult would we be today!"
Wei Yixiao's gaze swept over everyone. "I agree with Left Envoy Yang's proposal!"
"Young Master Lin has saved the Ming Cult's life! Apart from Young Master Lin, I ask everyone here, who else could sit in this position of leader and earn everyone's sincere and unquestioning acceptance?"
Having said that, Wei Yixiao decisively flicked his sleeve and knelt down on one knee facing Lin Xuan with a "thump"!
"Your subordinate, Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, is willing to honor Young Master Lin as the thirty-fourth leader of the Ming Cult! I will go through fire and water, even unto death!"
With Yang Xiao, the Left Guardian of the Brightness Sect, the highest-ranking member of the Ming Cult, and the Green-Winged Bat King, one of the Four Great Protectors, both making clear statements and submitting to the Ming Cult!
Such a leading role has a tremendous influence and impact!
In an instant, like a flood bursting its banks, it swept away the last trace of hesitation and concern in everyone's hearts!
Yes!
These people have been fighting each other for over a decade, and none of them are willing to submit to the others. If an insider is made the leader again, the Ming Cult will inevitably fall apart sooner or later.
It would be better to simply serve this martial arts master, Young Master Lin, as our master; it would be entirely beneficial!
"Left Envoy Yang and Bat King Wei are right!"
The leaders of the Five Elements Flags were the first to react, sheathing their weapons and kneeling down!
The thousands of lower-ranking believers, stirred by the emotions, knelt down on one knee in unison, like wheat being harvested.
"We are willing to acknowledge Young Master Lin as our leader!"
"Greetings, Master!"
The sound was like a tidal wave, deafening, and even the snow on Bright Summit trembled slightly.
Seeing that the situation was settled and that Lin Xuan becoming the leader was indeed the best way for the future development of the Ming Cult, Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, concluded that the situation was already settled and that Lin Xuan becoming the leader was indeed the best way for the Ming Cult to develop.
He sighed, letting go of his preconceived notions, and led the followers of the Sky Eagle Cult to kneel on one knee in sincere submission.
Finally, the five wandering men looked at each other in bewilderment, and Zhou Dian and the others stopped hesitating and knelt down as well.
That's it!
The people from the six major sects were all dumbfounded.
How come, instead of being wiped out, the evil cult inexplicably found a great hero from the righteous path to become its leader?
The world is changing too fast, isn't it?
Looking at the Ming Cult followers kneeling sincerely all over the mountains and plains.
Standing on high ground, Lin Xuan smiled with satisfaction, knowing that the time was ripe.
