At this moment, the remaining half of the elders were very surprised to see so many people supporting Gongsun Zhi. Their beliefs could not help but waver. In the end, another group of people actually stood behind Gongsun Zhi.
With that, sixty percent of the elders supported Gongsun Zhi.
"Sigh, Gongsun Zhi is a descendant of a Grand Exalt after all," a vice-leader suddenly sighed gently. He stood up slowly and arrived beside Gongsun Zhi.
"With Gongsun Zhi's identity and status, I have no objections if he wants to rule over the Radiant Saint Hall," said another vice-leader. Although he didn't side with Gongsun Zhi, his words made it clear that he supported Gongsun Zhi.
"Gongsun Zhi wields the most powerful protector sword. I believe that as his strength rapidly increases in the future, the power of the protector sword he can unleash will increase as well. I believe the Radiant Saint Hall will become more and more powerful under Gongsun Zhi's lead," said a third vice-leader. He also stood on Gongsun Zhi's side.
Immediately, the discussion hall sank into silence again. The atmosphere was rather strange.
More than sixty percent of the elders and three vice-leaders had actually chosen to support Gongsun Zhi. Many people were caught off-guard by this outcome. They struggled to accept it.
Even Xuan Zhan was momentarily at a loss for words.
He had never thought that Gongsun Zhi would possess such great power in the Radiant Saint Hall unknowingly.
"Leader Yu Chen, I, Gongsun Zhi, formally challenge you. If you can defeat me, I will never mention the position of leader again," Gongsun Zhi called out. Gongsun Zhi shouted. His face was already flushed red from the excitement and surging emotions. He appeared particularly excited.
Even though the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, was the only Grand Prime in the Radiant Saint Hall, Gongsun Zhi possessed a protector sword. He did not fear Yu Chen at all. s3();
The sacred hall was thrown into an uproar. Someone had actually dared to publicly challenge the leader. This was unprecedented in the history of the Radiant Saint Hall.
This was because the leader was the greatest ruler of the Radiant Saint Hall. He could mobilise all the power in the Radiant Saint Hall. He was the person with the greatest authority in the Radiant Saint Hall.
Challenging the leader was standing on the opposing side of the leader. The outcome would not be good. It would be extremely tragic.
However, in the next moment, everyone discovered to their dismay that no one in the Radiant Saint Hall could control Gongsun Zhi anymore.
Ignoring his status as a Grand Exalt, just being the wielder of a protector sword was enough to make him invincible.
"Gongsun Zhi, if you want to challenge the Hall Master, you have to go through us first!"
"Gongsun Zhi, if you have the ability, don't use the Guardian Sword's power!"
Bai Yu and Donglin Yan Xue stepped forward at the same time. Their protector swords flickered, enveloping them with holy light as they faced off against Gongsun Zhi.
"Gongsun Zhi, you should stop. Many of us won't f * ck you if you sit on the Hall Master's throne, because you lack the prestige to make people believe in you," Han Xin also spoke, trying to persuade Gongsun Zhi.
"You want to stop me?" Gongsun Zhi's eyes flashed with cold light. His killing intent was undisguised.
Bai Yu, Donglin, and Yan Xue didn't back down either. They were determined to stop Gongsun Zhi with their lives.
The protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall immediately began to clash their weapons. They seemed like they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. Even though they were unable to do anything to each other, their presence was no weaker than anyone else's.
"Stop!"
Just when the J protectors were about to draw their swords, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, bellowed out, stopping the J protectors who were about to fight at any time. He said with a heavy voice, "The Protector Swords are the greatest power of our Radiant Saint Hall. Today, the reason why our Radiant Saint Hall has such a grand and lofty status on the Cloud Plane is all because of the existence of the Protector Swords. As the wielder of the Protector Swords, you J people should unite together and not fight with each other. Otherwise, it will be our Radiant Saint Hall's greatest loss." Yu Chen said forcefully. His body was full of righteousness and holy light. At this moment, he looked so tall and mighty, so noble and noble.
"Gongsun Zhi," Yu Chen looked at Gongsun Zhi. His eyes shone brightly as he said with a carefree bearing, "Since you want the position of leader so much, I, Yu Chen, will officially step down from my position as leader. From today onwards, I will no longer be the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall."
Yu Chen's words were shocking. His decision immediately led to an uproar in the sacred hall. No one could remain calm.
Although a portion of people supported Gongsun Zhi to become leader, the elders who supported Gongsun Zhi were still shocked when Yu Chen actually announced that he was stepping down. Some of them even began to question themselves. Had they really done the right thing?
"Leader, you can't," Xuan Zhan and the other vice-leaders all cried out as they tried their best to persuade Yu Chen.
Yu Chen raised his hand to stop them. He said righteously, "I've already made up my mind. There's no need to say anything more. As long as the Radiant Saint Hall becomes more and more powerful, anyone can take the position of leader."
"Gongsun Zhi, I hope the Radiant Saint Hall will become more and more powerful under your lead." With that, Yu Chen drifted away. He left in an extremely crisp manner. He did not show any reluctance towards the position of leader. Instead, he felt like he had been freed.
"Brother Yu Chen," Xuan Zhan immediately chased after him.
"Hallmaster" S3 ();
"Leader."
Behind him, the sorrowful, indignant voices of the elders rang out. A few of them followed closely behind him.
Gongsun Zhi smiled victoriously within the majestic sacred hall. He looked at the throne that represented the supreme position in the Radiant Saint Hall. His eyes were filled with desire and desire, as well as undisguised excitement.
Bai Yu, Han Xin, Donglin Yan Xue, and Xuan Ming, the four protectors with protector swords, all remained silent. They were powerless to change anything now that things had developed to this point.
"I never thought that Gongsun Zhi would have already roped in so many members of the upper echelon. It's the decision of the elders and the three vice-leaders. The leader left because he didn't want to see the Radiant Saint Hall collapse under his hands, so he could only abdicate prematurely," Xuan Ming said to Donglin Yan Xue, Han Xin, and Bai Yu secretly. His voice was filled with powerlessness.
Several tens of thousand kilometres away from the Radiant Saint Hall, the white-robed Yu Chen and Xuan Zhan stood before each other on the peak of a mountain that reached into the clouds. Yu Chen, who had just stepped down from his position as leader, was at ease. However, Xuan Zhan who stood before him was heavy-hearted.
"Brother Yu Chen, why do you have to do this?" Xuan Zhan looked at Yu Chen deeply and sighed.
Yu Chen stood with his hands behind his back as he gazed in the direction of the Radiant Saint Hall. A sliver of warmth appeared in his eyes. He felt like a child looking at his mother. It was filled with warmth and an indescribable feeling. "The Radiant Saint Hall is my home. As long as this home exists, as long as it exists, it doesn't matter who the leader is."
"Gongsun Zhi became unwilling to remain ordinary after obtaining the protector sword. He became extremely ambitious. I could tell that he had set his eyes on this position a long time ago, so everything that happened today was within my expectations. If I didn't abdicate the position, the Radiant Saint Hall would be unable to avoid internal strife. If the situation worsens, the entire Radiant Saint Hall might even collapse, splitting into two. It would no longer be complete. I definitely do not wish to see that happen."
Yu Chen looked at Xuan Zhan calmly. He was not affected by the loss of his position as leader at all. It was as if he no longer cared about fame and authority. "Right now, the Radiant Saint Hall is in a rare state of prosperity, so we need to unite even more. Only by uniting can we become powerful. At a time like this, we can't allow anything to happen internally, let alone internal strife. Xuan Zhan, I hope you can understand this. "
"Brother Yu Chen," Xuan Zhan felt bitter inside. He had no idea what to say. Was there anyone in the Radiant Saint Hall who was as selfless as Yu Chen, working wholeheartedly for the strength of the Radiant Saint Hall, even going as far as to give up his position as leader to prevent internal strife in the Radiant Saint Hall.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Gongsun Zhi to obtain the position no matter what. This was because five of the six protectors stood on Yu Chen's side.
"Xuan Zhan, go back first. With Gongsun Zhi's prestige, it'll probably be difficult for him to convince everyone. I hope you can assist him for the sake of the Radiant Saint Hall. No matter what, the Radiant Saint Hall can't fall into any internal strife. I'll leave Donglin, Yan Xue, Han Xin, and Bai Yu to you to convince everyone," Yu Chen said seriously.
"Brother Yu Chen, you're leaving?" Xuan Zhan stared blankly at Yu Chen. Even if they put aside their status on the surface, they were actually the best of brothers. They had gone through thick and thin together.
Otherwise, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall would not have allowed Jian Chen to leave just because of a single sentence from Xuan Zhan when he walked out of the Tower of Radiance when his identity had been exposed.
Yu Chen nodded. He became extraordinarily cautious. He said, "The Martial Soul lineage is a secret of the imperial family. Only the two of us know about it right now. I plan on leaving here and investigating the history of our Radiant Saint Hall and the Martial Soul lineage."
"It's said that the Spirits' World was the battlefield of the apocalypse from the last aeon. Even though the entire Spirits' World has been reduced to ruins, there are still many ancient traces left behind. I plan on paying a visit to the ruins of the Spirits' World and see if I can find any clues."
"And the Spiritsages. They're the remnant races of the Spirits' World. They've existed for an extremely long time. I plan on paying them a visit as well and see if I can find anything."
