The bloodline power that erupted from Xiao Chen was familiar to Zhao Yue and the other two because it was the same bloodline power that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign passed down to Xiao Chen.
Upon sensing the incomparably familiar bloodline power, Qian Ling's expression changed and he was the first to exclaim. "This … Sect Master passed down the bloodline power to you?"
Previously, Qian Ling, Zhao Yue, and Li Sui were rather suspicious of Xiao Chen. After all, who could prove that Xiao Chen was the successor of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign? Could it be just because of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token?
Even though the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign had set the rule that whoever obtained the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token would be the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, perhaps many people wouldn't be willing to serve the Sword Sect as their master with just the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token.
Previously, they had been suspicious of Xiao Chen's identity. But now, after sensing the incomparably familiar bloodline power in Xiao Chen's body, their expressions changed.
If the Heaven-Breaking Sword Token couldn't prove Xiao Chen's identity, Xiao Chen's bloodline power was undoubtedly enough to prove that Xiao Chen was the successor of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign.
If not, how could Xiao Chen possibly possess the bloodline power of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign? Besides, since the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign passed down the bloodline power to Xiao Chen, it went to show how highly the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign valued Xiao Chen.
Cang Xing's expression changed. Even though he knew from Yang Song that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign had passed down his bloodline power to Xiao Chen, Cang Xing couldn't help but tear up after personally experiencing the familiar bloodline power.
Cang Xing couldn't be more familiar with the bloodline power that Xiao Chen displayed. At that moment, Cang Xing's eyes reddened as he gazed at Xiao Chen. There was even an instant when Cang Xing mistook him for the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign.
He thought that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign had returned. But when Cang Xing focused his gaze, he realized that the person standing there was still Xiao Chen.
But even so, Cang Xing clenched his fists tightly and swore to himself. "Master, don't worry. I will definitely make him the Sect Master."
Since Xiao Chen was the person chosen by the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign, then Cang Xing would do everything in his power to help him. In Cang Xing's eyes, perhaps Xiao Chen was his Young Master.
Cang Xing transferred all his loyalty to the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign to Xiao Chen. At the same time, Cang Xing looked at Qianling, Zhaoyue, and Li Sui, whose expressions had changed. The powerful aura of the End Realm surged into the sky as he stared coldly at the three of them.
"Qianling, Zhaoyue, Li Sui, are the three of you planning to go against the Old Sect Master's orders?"
Cang Xing's angry roar stunned Qianling, Zhaoyue, and Li Sui. Then, Qianling was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression and said, "We naturally won't go against the Old Sect Master's orders."
Qianling and the other two were naturally very loyal to the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so neutral.
Actually, the three of them didn't support Xiao Chen for two simple reasons. First, they didn't believe in Xiao Chen's identity. Second, they felt that Xiao Chen wasn't qualified to be the Sect Master of the Sword Sect.
After all, as the Sect Master, the glory of the Sword Sect would be firmly tied to Xiao Chen. To be honest, Qianling and the other two weren't willing to hand over the entire Sword Sect to such a young brat who was only in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Because of this, the three of them chose to remain neutral. However, now that Xiao Chen had displayed the bloodline power that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign had passed to him, there was no need to doubt Xiao Chen's identity.
After all, unless it was the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign himself, no one could take away his bloodline power.
As a result, Xiao Chen's bloodline power was naturally something that the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign had willingly passed to Xiao Chen. As a result, Xiao Chen was indeed the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign's successor.
There was no need to doubt Xiao Chen's identity anymore. At this moment, many experts of the Sword Sect, especially the elders of the Sword Sect, looked at Xiao Chen in a different light.
Just as Yang Song had said before, Xiao Chen possessed the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign's bloodline power. This would be of great help to Xiao Chen becoming the Sect Master of the Sword Sect.
This was akin to the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign personally telling everyone that Xiao Chen was the Sect Master of the Sword Sect from now on. With the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign present, Xiao Chen would face much less resistance.
The disciples did not react in any particular way. After all, they did not have many opportunities to interact with the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign in the first place. However, the elders and above were greatly moved by the bloodline power that Xiao Chen had displayed.
In particular, Qian Ling had spoken at a time like this. He would not go against the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign's orders. Didn't that mean that Qian Ling had accepted Xiao Chen as the Sect Master?
Qian Ling looked at Xiao Chen with mixed feelings. He ignored Zhao Yue and Li Sui and bowed to Xiao Chen. "Greetings, Sect Master."
Qian Ling's action undoubtedly meant that he had acknowledged Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen disregarded their previous enmity and personally helped Qian Ling up. Xiao Chen said, "Senior, I cannot accept such a great bow. I will need your help in the future."
"Of course, I will do my best for you, Sect Master," said Qian Ling seriously.
Qian Ling also acknowledged Xiao Chen. Zhao Yue and Li Sui were clearly still hesitating. Cang Xing was prepared to strike while the iron was hot when he saw their conflicted expressions. He would make the two of them make their choice while Qian Ling was making his choice.
However, just as Cang Xing was about to speak, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
"I do not agree with this child becoming the Sect Master."
He Ying's figure appeared before everyone. A cold smile flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes when he saw He Ying. He's finally here.
He Ying's appearance was inevitable, so Xiao Chen was not surprised. It was the first time he had met He Ying face to face. Xiao Chen looked at He Ying and He Ying looked at Xiao Chen. Soon, He Ying spoke.
"I do not agree."
"He Ying, are you going against the Sect Master's wishes?" shouted Cang Xing coldly when he heard He Ying's words.
However, He Ying was not angered by Cang Xing's shout at all. He only said indifferently, "Cang Xing, don't try to flatter me. I, He Ying, have absolutely no intention of going against the Sword Sovereign. However, the current situation of the Sword Sect is not suitable for this child to become the Sect Master."
Of course, He Ying would never admit that he was disobeying Sword Venerable Potian's orders. After all, even though Sword Venerable Potian was already dead, his prestige in Swords Gate was still unmatched. If someone were to openly admit that they were disobeying Sword Venerable Potian, even Zhao Yue and Li Sui, who were still hesitating, would not agree to it.
