Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Meeting Sect Leader Ling!

”Phew!”

Ling Feng stood proudly beside the corpse of Xue Hongyi, lifting his Ten Directions Annihilation and gently blowing across the blade.

He blew away the traces of blood!

Graceful and domineering, it carried an incomparable pride and unruliness!

”Junior Master Ling!”

Countless disciples rushed forward in unison, encircling Ling Feng.

At this moment, Elder Yao walked over slowly and bowed deeply to Ling Feng and his disciple, his face earnestly saying, ”Junior Duanmu, you have suffered over these years!”

As he spoke, his knees started to bend, and he was about to kneel.

”This... Senior Brother!” Duanmu Qingshan quickly supported Elder Yao, ”Senior Brother, this is not your fault!”

”No, it is all because I was too weak in the past!” Tears ran down Elder Yao’s face, ”Had it not been for you two today, the foundation of the Wenxian Sect built over hundreds of years would have been destroyed!”

The neighboring Wenxian Sect Elders and Stewards hung their heads in shame, stepping forward to bow deeply to Ling Feng and his disciple, ”We thank Elder Duanmu! We thank Ling Shaohua!”

Duanmu Qingshan took a deep breath, ”The ones who wronged me, Duanmu Qingshan, are only Lu Tianji, Lin Canglang, and a few of their disciples. No matter what, the Wenxian Sect is my only sect!”

”Elder Duanmu, Elder Yao, the rebellious Lee Liang and Yang Wei of the Wenxian Sect have been captured. How should we deal with them?”

Several disciples at the Late-stage of Magnetic Condensation Realm dragged the battered and bruised Lee Liang and Yang Wei, tied up with heavy ropes, forward to await their fate.

”According to sect rules, those who collude with outsiders to harm the sect shall be executed without mercy!” A cold harshness flashed across Elder Yao’s face.

These two were shameless and vicious, their deaths would be well deserved.

Moreover, they were also accomplices in the poisoning of Duanmu Qingshan’s wife and daughter back then, and naturally, they could not be spared.

”Spare us! Spare our lives, we know we were wrong!” Lee Liang and Yang Wei were wailing and crying miserably.

Alas, no one had sympathy for them.

Even their own disciples turned their heads away, ashamed of being associated with them.

”Take them away, suppress them in the Xuanyin Pond, and execute them on another day!”

Elder Yao flung his sleeves, now with Lin Canglang dead, he was the most senior and highest-ranking person left in the Wenxian Sect, naturally, he was the one to give commands.

”Yes!” Several law enforcement disciples immediately took Lee Liang and Yang Wei away.

Xuanyin Pond was a millennium-old Cold Pond, its waters bone-chillingly cold. Even a Qi Condensation Realm expert thrown into the pond would suffer unbearable yin cold torment, a fate worse than death.

”Junior Brother.” Elder Yao took a deep breath, placing his hands on Duanmu Qingshan’s shoulders, speaking in a deep voice, ”Junior Brother, our Master originally intended to pass the leadership of the Wenxian Sect to you. It’s just you were engrossed in your love for your wife and daughter and dismissed the position of Sect Leader. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, it’s about time for you to take up the position of Sect Leader, isn’t it? The Wenxian Sect needs a leader like you!”

”Yeah, Elder Duanmu, please accept!”

”At this time, only you, Elder Duanmu, are capable of taking on this great responsibility!”

Instantly, one after another, Elders and Stewards spoke up, earnestly inviting Duanmu Qingshan to take up the position of Sect Leader.

”Senior Brother, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you again.” Duanmu Qingshan shook his head, speaking indifferently, ”This time, with little Xiao Feng’s help, I was able to avenge our grievances. For me, Duanmu Qingshan, that is sufficient. There is still a matter that always weighs on my mind and I cannot forget.”

”That year, Lin Canglang and his disciples poisoned my wife and injured my only daughter in their schemes for a secret manual; to this day, the life and death of my daughter, Xiao Rou, remains uncertain. Now that I’ve broken through the seal, it’s time for me to go find my poor daughter, Xiao Rou.”

”This...” Elder Yao wanted to say more but also knew that Duanmu Qingshan’s decision was absolute and would not change, so he could only sigh softly.

”Senior Brother, actually, I do have a candidate in mind who could take up the position of Sect Leader. I believe everyone will agree with this choice,” Duanmu Qingshan said with a faint smile.

”You mean?” Elder Yao’s eyes lit up as he turned to look at Ling Feng.

Indeed, besides being rather young, Ling Feng met all the requirements for becoming the Sect Leader, considering his influence among the disciples and his strength. What’s more, he had a ”Demon Monarch” level Spirit Pet by his side.

With Ling Feng as the Sect Leader, the Wenxian Sect’s status within the three great Upper Sects of the Immortal Trace Mountain Range would undoubtedly be as solid as Mount Tai.

The other Elders quickly understood and turned their gazes toward Ling Feng in unison.

”Why are you looking at me?” Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched as he pointed at himself, his face filled with astonishment. ”You’re not thinking of making me the Sect Leader, are you?”

”Exactly!”

Several Elders, including Duanmu Qingshan, answered in chorus.

In an instant, Ling Feng’s forehead went dark. Having been an Inner Sect Disciple for only a few months, and now he was to take on the position of Sect Leader?

”No, no, my experience isn’t enough!” Ling Feng quickly waved his hands. As a person fond of freedom and leisure, he’d rather die by the sword than sit in the hall every day handling sect affairs.

”You are my disciple, and from the moment you joined the sect, you were the Junior Master to all disciples. How could your experience possibly be lacking?” Duanmu Qingshan said with a gentle smile.

Elder Yao also could not stop praising. ”Which of the disciples doesn’t see you as their goal, as their role model? Only you are the most suitable for this role of Sect Leader!”

”Yes, the position of Sect Leader is yours and no one else’s!”

Ling Feng wore a smile tinged with resignation and turned to look at Duanmu Qingshan. ”Master, can I refuse?”

”I am your Master, so naturally, you should listen to me,” Duanmu Qingshan chuckled as he patted Ling Feng’s shoulder.

”But Master, I’ve saved your life.”

”I am your Master!”

”I’ve also helped you restore your cultivation.”

”I am your Master!”

”I’ve even avenged your great enemy.”

”I am your Master!”

”I...” Ling Feng rolled his eyes. ”Master, can you be reasonable for once?”

”Eh, Xiao Feng, just think, at such a young age, to become the head of a sect, how stylish, how domineering. Most people at your age are still struggling at the level of common disciples.”

”But I don’t like handling sect affairs. I still need to cultivate. I have many other things to do!”

”Sect Leader, if you agree to take on this role, I will certainly provide you with my utmost assistance in both major and minor affairs!” Elder Yao immediately stepped forward to say.

”Xiao Feng, as your Master, I know that this responsibility should rightfully be mine. But every time I think of my poor Xiao Rou, all alone, it pains my heart...”

Duanmu Qingshan clutched at his chest, his eyes reddening as if he were on the verge of tears.

”Alright, alright, isn’t agreeing enough for you?” Ling Feng slapped his forehead, only capable of a bitter smile as he agreed.

”Ha ha, you said so yourself; a promise made by a man cannot be retracted even by the fastest horses!”

Duanmu Qingshan’s demeanor changed in an instant, his eyes gleaming as he took a wine gourd from his waist and guzzled it down.

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched a few times. Had he been schemed against?

Having drunk his fill of the fine wine, Duanmu Qingshan tossed the wine gourd aside, then turned to Ling Feng with a super respectful bow and shouted loudly, ”Greetings to the Sect Leader!”

The next moment, all the Elders, Stewards, and Disciples in the hall knelt down in chorus, respectfully saying, ”Greetings to Sect Leader Ling!”
