After recovering from Cang Xing, Xiao Chen's group, along with Nangong Guan and the other three, set off for the Sword Sect the next morning.
The Nangong City's Transmission Array, which had been destroyed in the previous battle, had already been repaired. Moreover, it would only take a few days to reach the Sword Sect through the Transmission Array.
Two days later, Xiao Chen's group arrived at the foot of the Sword Mountain where the Sword Sect was located. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, they could vaguely see beautiful buildings.
This wasn't the first time that Nangong Guan and the others had come to the Sword Sect, but standing at the foot of the mountain, Nangong Guan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "The Sword Sect has indeed declined, but in the entire Great Thousand World, I'm afraid that there isn't a single first-rate force that can compare to the Sword Sect."
"En, just based on the location of the mountain, the Sword Sect can already suppress any first-rate force." Hearing this, Zhou Song nodded in agreement.
The scenery of the Sword Mountain was naturally incomparably beautiful, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a paradise on earth. Hearing Nangong Guan and Zhou Song's praise, Xiao Chen couldn't help but nod in his heart. Thinking that from today onwards, he would be the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel proud.
In terms of foundation, the Sword Sect was indeed not something that an ordinary first-rate force could compare to. After exclaiming in admiration, Xiao Chen's group, accompanied by Yang Song, headed towards the peak of the Sword Mountain, while Nangong Guan and the other three followed in secret, not showing themselves for the time being.
This was the result of a discussion on the way here. Xiao Chen still didn't know what kind of trump cards He Ying had, so Xiao Chen didn't plan to let Nangong Guan and the other three show themselves at the beginning.
Once He Ying revealed all of his trump cards and methods, Nangong Guan and the other three would show themselves and take down He Ying in one fell swoop. This was Xiao Chen's plan.
Nangong Guan and the other three agreed with Xiao Chen's plan, so everyone started moving according to the plan.
With Yang Song leading the way, Xiao Chen's group naturally arrived at the peak of the Sword Mountain without any obstructions.
They went all the way to the main square. When Xiao Chen and the others arrived, there were already many disciples, deacons, and elders of the Sword Gate gathered in the main square.
Regarding Xiao Chen's matter, Cang Xing's's matter, many disciples knew that the Sword Sect would welcome a new Sect Master, and it was said that the new Sect Master, the successor, the successor of the Sword Sovereign's successor, the successor of the Sword Sovereign's successor.
Of course, this was something that Xiao Chen had asked Cang Xing to do. It was good to let the disciples know about him first. At least they would be prepared for what was to come.
Countless disciples looked curiously at Xiao Chen, the new Sect Master.
Facing such a young Sect Master, many disciples were naturally unconvinced. After all, in terms of age, Xiao Chen was around the same age as many of the other disciples, so for such a person to become the Sword Sect's Sect Master, these proud and arrogant disciples naturally found it difficult to accept.
However, Xiao Chen didn't have the slightest intention of paying attention to the various thoughts of these disciples. Their thoughts were simply unimportant right now, Xiao Chen's main problem was to deal with He Ying. As for them, it wouldn't be too late to deal with them later.
Along the way, Xiao Chen's expression didn't change in the slightest, but when Xiao Chen's group arrived at the Sword Sect's main hall, Cang Xing and the other three Sword Sovereigns were already waiting, but He Ying's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing Xiao Chen's arrival, Cang Xing took the initiative to bow to Xiao Chen and said, "Cang Xing greets the Sect Master."
"Senior Cang Xing, there's no need to be so courteous." Facing Cang Xing's bow, Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward and personally helped him up.
This was the first time he met Cang Xing, and Cang Xing's attitude towards Xiao Chen was also extremely respectful, but because he couldn't remember Cang Xing, the other three Sword Sovereigns seemed very cold.
Although they also arrived with Cang Xing, when they saw Xiao Chen, they had no intention of bowing at all, and their expressions were extremely indifferent.
Zhao Yue, Qian Ling, and Li Sui were the other three Sword Sovereigns of the Sword Sect like Yang Song. At the same time, they were also the three leaders of the neutral faction.
The three of them didn't explicitly express their opposition to Xiao Chen, but they didn't have the slightest support either. All along, they had been drifting between Cang Xing and He Ying's factions.
In a soft voice, he briefly introduced the three of them to Xiao Chen. In response, Xiao Chen also took the initiative to come before the three of them, cupped his hands, and bowed. "Xiao Chen greets the three Elders."
Xiao Chen took the initiative to bow. In response, Qian Ling smiled and said politely, "Little friend Xiao Chen, there's no need for that. The three of us can't afford it."
Although they were smiling, Xiao Chen knew from the way Qian Ling addressed him that the three of them probably didn't want him to take the position of Sect Master.
They didn't address Xiao Chen as Sect Master, but instead called him little friend Xiao Chen. In response, Xiao Chen's expression didn't change much, and he smiled faintly before straightening his body.
He looked at Qian Ling and the other two. Besides Qian Ling, Zhao Yue and Li Sui hadn't said a word since the beginning. Xiao Chen didn't intend to feign civility with the three of them. Therefore, Xiao Chen quickly took the initiative to speak.
"Since the three of you are here, I'll be frank. I think the three of you should know why I've come to the Sword Sect this time."
He Ying still hadn't appeared, but Xiao Chen didn't mind. According to Cang Xing, He Ying was indeed in the Sword Sect and hadn't left. As such, he would definitely appear. Therefore, Xiao Chen could deal with Qian Ling and the other two first.
Sure enough, their expressions sank when they heard Xiao Chen's words. Zhao Yue's face was cold as he said, "Xiao Chen, do you really think you can lead the Sword Sect with your ability? Can you restore the Sword Sect to its former glory? "
The meaning behind Zhao Yue's words was very clear. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and didn't get angry at all.
"Whether I can or not is important, but at the very least, the three of you can't. Otherwise, why would the Sword Sect become weaker and weaker after so many years? Moreover, the position of sect master wasn't something that I wanted. It was the will of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign. Don't tell me you want to go against the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign's orders? "
Xiao Chen's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke. In the end, he sounded like he was scolding the three of them. At the same time, Xiao Chen's Spatial Ring flashed and the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token appeared in his hand. Xiao Chen stood on the platform outside the main hall and raised the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token. He looked at Zhao Yue, Qian Ling, and Li Sui. Xiao Chen roared again.
"Seeing the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token is like seeing the sect master. The holder of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token is the sect master of the Sword Sect. Don't tell me you want to go against the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign's orders?"
As he spoke, a bloodline power that the three of them were familiar with erupted from Xiao Chen's body. At the same time, it quickly spread out and enveloped the entire main square.
