He Ying didn't dare to openly go against Sword Supreme Potian. When he heard his words, Cang Xing laughed coldly, "What a joke. Since Sword Supreme chose Xiao Chen, then Xiao Chen will be the new Sect Leader of the Sword Sect."
He knew what He Ying was thinking. This fellow had been eyeing the Sect Leader position for a long time. Cang Xing was very clear about this.
However, when he heard Cang Xing's words, He Ying said, "Cang Xing, I didn't say that I wouldn't recognize Xiao Chen as the Sect Leader. However, with the current situation of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen isn't suitable. We can let Xiao Chen join the Sword Sect for now. Once his cultivation increases, he can take the Sect Leader position. I think no one will object."
When he said this, He Ying's meaning was clear. With Xiao Chen's age and cultivation as the reason, He Ying wanted Xiao Chen to take the Sect Leader position a few years later.
When he heard He Ying's words, a cold light flashed across Cang Xing's eyes. A few years later? Haha, what a joke. He Ying was just stalling for time.
If he didn't agree to Xiao Chen becoming the Sect Leader now, would He Ying agree in a few years? As for Xiao Chen's age and cultivation, that was just an excuse.
According to what He Ying said, what level did Xiao Chen have to raise his cultivation to be qualified to be the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect? Did he have to raise his cultivation to the End Realm like the two of them? When that time came, it would be too late.
Xiao Chen was now in the Immortal Emperor Realm. No matter how talented Xiao Chen was or how many treasures he had, it wasn't something that could be done in a day. Therefore, Cang Xing definitely wouldn't agree to He Ying's words.
Cang Xing coldly looked at He Ying and laughed coldly. "He Ying, you don't have to say these high-sounding reasons. Since Xiao Chen is the Sword Supreme's choice, then the Sect Leader position will naturally be his."
What a few years? Cang Xing naturally wouldn't believe He Ying's words. However, when he heard this, He Ying seemed to have expected such an outcome.
"Since that's the case, then let's see if everyone agrees to this kid becoming the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect or not."
Cang Xing's rejection was within He Ying's expectations. After he said this, He Ying looked at the people in his faction. In an instant, many people opened their mouths and expressed their agreement with He Ying's suggestion.
He Ying didn't immediately reject Xiao Chen's identity. Instead, he used Xiao Chen's age as an excuse to ask Xiao Chen to take the Sect Leader position a few years later.
However, whether it was Cang Xing or Xiao Chen, they both knew that if they didn't succeed today, then they wouldn't succeed in the future. This was just an excuse for He Ying.
He Ying's faction supported He Ying's suggestion. Of course, Cang Xing's faction also spoke up to support Xiao Chen becoming the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.
The two factions were quickly locked in a heated argument, and the smell of gunpowder in the air grew increasingly intense. As for Zhao Yue, Li Sui and the rest of the neutral faction, they did not participate in the argument, and only watched the show from the side.
While the two factions were quarreling, Xiao Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly walked up to He Ying and said with a cold smile on his face.
"Vice Sect Leader He, Yuan Lin and the rest still haven't returned. Aren't you worried at all?"
Xiao Chen had nothing to say to He Ying. Whether He Ying agreed or not didn't matter to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen wanted to take He Ying down today, so whether He Ying agreed or not didn't matter to Xiao Chen.
When he heard Xiao Chen's words, a cold glint flashed across He Ying's eyes.
Yuan Lin still hadn't returned, and He Ying was naturally suspicious. Furthermore, he had already sent people to investigate. Unfortunately, the people he sent were like stones that sank into the sea, and they still hadn't returned.
In fact, He Ying had already guessed that Yuan Lin and the rest, as well as the people he sent to investigate, were probably no longer in this world. Furthermore, He Ying guessed that all of this was related to Xiao Chen.
It had to be said that He Ying's guess was correct. Yuan Lin was killed by Nangong Guan, and Nangong Guan had also guessed that He Ying would definitely send people to investigate after not hearing any news about Yuan Lin. Therefore, Nangong Guan had already ordered Family Nangong's experts to secretly set up ambushes around Nangong City. As long as He Ying's people arrived in Nangong City, they would be killed on the spot.
Therefore, the people He Ying sent to investigate Yuan Lin were already dead. Therefore, He Ying naturally didn't know what happened in Nangong City.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He looked deeply at Xiao Chen and said indifferently.
"Of course I'm worried. However, the current situation has nothing to do with Yuan Lin."
He Ying didn't know what Xiao Chen wanted to do, and he also didn't know what Xiao Chen was relying on. In fact, He Ying had already felt that something was wrong. After all, Yuan Lin and the rest had disappeared, and He Ying had no choice but to prepare for the worst.
After hearing He Ying's words, Xiao Chen didn't continue to argue with him. He turned his head to look at Zhao Yue and Li Sui. "Seniors, what do you mean? Are you willing to follow Sword Sovereign Potian's orders, or do you want to be like He Ying and stop me? "
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Yue and Li Sui were silent. Qian Ling had already acknowledged Xiao Chen, but the two of them were still hesitating.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled and didn't continue to ask. Instead, he turned around and looked at the crowd below — the numerous elders, deacons, and disciples of the Sword Sect.
Looking down from above, Xiao Chen swept his gaze across everyone. Then, he slowly raised the Heaven Splitter Sword Token in his hand and said loudly to everyone present.
"The Sword Sect was single-handedly established by Sword Sovereign Potian. The one who holds the Heaven Splitter Sword Token is the Sword Sect Master. This is Sword Sovereign Potian's order. Now, as the Sword Sovereign's successor and the new Sect Master of the Sword Sect, I naturally won't allow any rascals to disobey Sword Sovereign Potian's order."
"Now, as the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, I will abolish He Ying's position as the Vice Sect Master …"
Xiao Chen didn't say much to He Ying. This guy liked to argue and confuse others. However, Xiao Chen didn't care about that. If you like to argue, go ahead. I will abolish your position as the Vice Sect Master in front of everyone.
As soon as Xiao Chen finished his sentence, everyone was stunned. At the same time, He Ying couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha, Xiao Chen, you want to abolish my position as the Vice Sect Master? This is ridiculous. You aren't even the Sect Master of the Sword Sect yet. What rights do you have to abolish me? "
