Xiao Chen said that he wanted Jun Wuya to be the Old Ancestor of the Sword Sect. Xiao Chen naturally didn't discuss this matter with Jun Wuya, so Xiao Chen didn't even know where Jun Wuya was.
However, in order to quickly stabilize the situation within the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen had no choice but to make a suitable lie. Or rather, pull on Jun Wuya's tiger flag.
Actually, this was something that couldn't be helped. To be honest, Xiao Chen was helpless because with his cultivation, he was too weak to be the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect. Moreover, he was so weak that it wasn't just a little bit. To put it bluntly, the deacons of the Sword Sect had the same cultivation as Xiao Chen.
For the deacons to have the same cultivation as the Sect Leader, this was indeed a very awkward matter. As such, Xiao Chen had no choice but to use all the resources around him.
The reason why he said that he wanted Jun Wuya to be the Old Ancestor of the Sword Sect was because Xiao Chen wanted to give everyone hope, hope that the Sword Sect could rise up again.
To put it bluntly, apart from He Ying's faction, everyone else in the Sword Sect, including Zhao Yue and Li Sui, were extremely loyal to the Sword Sect. This was something that was undeniable.
It was also because of their loyalty to the Sword Sect that Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and most of the experts in the Sword Sect felt that he wasn't suitable to be the Sect Leader.
Not for other reasons, but because Xiao Chen's cultivation was too low. If Xiao Chen had End Realm cultivation, there would probably be very few people who would object.
Cultivation and age were the biggest obstacles for Xiao Chen to become the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect. In a short period of time, Xiao Chen couldn't solve this problem. After all, one's cultivation wasn't something that could be raised as one wished, and it was impossible for one to reach the heavens in one step.
As such, Xiao Chen wanted to pull on Jun Wuya's tiger flag to let the experts in the Sword Sect see hope. He wanted to see the hope that he would bring to the Sword Sect after becoming the Sect Leader.
Only after seeing hope could Xiao Chen find a way to make everyone in the Sword Sect submit and stabilize the situation in the Sword Sect.
After he said that, Xiao Chen smiled and looked at the four people below. After a short moment of silence, Zhao Yue said hesitantly, "Sect Leader, will Emperor agree?"
Zhao Yue's question was considered tactful. In fact, Zhao Yue didn't think that Jun Wuya would return to the Sword Sect to be an old ancestor.
This was because Jun Wuya hadn't joined any forces for so many years. Even when the Sword Sect was at its most glorious, Sword Sovereign Potian personally invited Jun Wuya to join the Sword Sect. When the time came, both of them would be old ancestors and wouldn't be in charge of the sect. However, Jun Wuya rejected both offers.
Jun Wuya had been roaming the wild for his entire life, which was why Zhao Yue didn't believe Xiao Chen's words.
Facing Zhao Yue's doubts, Xiao Chen wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he smiled and said. "Senior, you don't have to worry about that. Actually, I'm not one of Master's disciples …"
Xiao Chen said with a smile. Upon hearing that Xiao Chen wasn't Jun Wuya's in-name disciple, Zhao Yue and Li Sui's eyes glinted in thought. "Could it be that we're wrong?"
Zhao Yue and Li Sui were dubious. But shortly after, Xiao Chen continued. "I'm Master's closed door disciple and I'm different from my Senior Brothers."
Xiao Chen took the initiative to reveal that he was Jun Wuya's closed door disciple. As a matter of fact, this couldn't be helped. Since he had already pulled Jun Wuya's tiger flag, he might as well do it more thoroughly.
As soon as Xiao Chen finished his words, Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and Qian Ling were taken aback. They didn't expect Xiao Chen to be Jun Wuya's closed door disciple at all.
The three of them were astonished. At this moment, Yang Song spoke. "Sect Leader is indeed Jun Wuya's closed door disciple. Therefore, Jun Wuya will most likely agree if Sect Leader asks. After all, the Patriarch is only an idle and nominal disciple and doesn't have much influence on Jun Wuya."
Upon hearing Yang Song's words, Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and Li Sui nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, if Xiao Chen was Jun Wuya's closed door disciple, there would be a huge chance. After all, a closed door disciple and an in-name disciple were two entirely different concepts.
For a moment, the way Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and Qian Ling looked at Xiao Chen completely changed. Just because of a small lie, the three of them actually felt that Xiao Chen becoming the Sword Sect's Sect Leader might be a fortunate thing for the Sword Sect.
First of all, Xiao Chen's cultivation was definitely top-notch. He had broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm at such a young age. Secondly, Xiao Chen's background was powerful and orthodox.
Not only had the Heaven-Breaking Sword Lord personally chosen his successor to become the new sect master of the Swords Gate, but the final disciple of Jun Wuya was also chosen as well. If Xiao Chen were to become the new sect master of the Swords Gate, then the Swords Gate might actually be able to rise to prominence.
Moreover, judging from Xiao Chen's performance today, he was indeed a genius of his generation. He was shrewd and decisive in handling matters. There was nothing to nitpick about him.
Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and Li Sui's mentality changed at this moment. If they were forced to submit to Xiao Chen in the past due to pressure, then now, they had truly begun to accept Xiao Chen in their hearts. Although they weren't completely convinced, at least there was a change. As long as this was the case, Xiao Chen would have a way to make them truly submit to him.
Xiao Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The change in the mentality of Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and Li Sui was definitely good news for him.
Right now, apart from the dead Yuan Lin, the four Sword Sect capitals had already submitted to Xiao Chen. Zhao Yue, Li Sui, and Li Sui's hearts were about to be captured by Xiao Chen. Everything was going according to Xiao Chen's plan.
Xiao Chen chatted with Zhao Yue and the others in the hall for around two hours before returning to the dwelling that Cang Xing had specially prepared for Xiao Chen.
This dwelling used to belong to the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sovereign, but it now belonged to Xiao Chen. It was the best dwelling in the entire Sword Sect.
It was on the main peak. Xiao Chen's dwelling was the only dwelling on the main peak. On the two sides were Cang Xing's and He Ying's dwellings. However, He Ying's dwelling was probably going to be empty soon.
After returning to the dwelling, Long Qing, Xuanyuan Ling, and Qin Shuirou were all anxiously waiting. When they saw Xiao Chen return, Long Qing was the first to ask anxiously.
"How was it?"
Everyone was very concerned about whether or not Xiao Chen could control the Sword Sect. Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Everything went well."
Up until now, everything had been going according to Xiao Chen's plan. In fact, it was even better than Xiao Chen had expected. Zhao Yue, Li Sui's, and Li Sui's attitudes had changed. This made Xiao Chen the happiest thing. If he could obtain their full support, then it wouldn't be too difficult for Xiao Chen to control the Sword Sect.
