Hundred Feet Peak, in front of the ruins of the treasury!
Although Gao Luanping's gaze was on Chu Zhongyu, Yu Haoran happened to be standing beside Chu Zhongyu. This gave everyone the illusion that Gao Luanping's preferred candidate was Yu Haoran.
When they saw that Gao Luanping's preferred candidate for the Sect Master was Yu Haoran, Lieyan, Zhong Faqin, and the other three Peak Masters couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
Although Yu Haoran's cultivation wasn't high, being only a mid-fifth-grade Martial Master, the strength and methods he possessed, the top-notch demonic potential he displayed, and his unparalleled influence among the younger disciples were probably unparalleled.
If Yu Haoran really wanted to participate in the competition for the position of Sect Master, both Lieyan and Zhong Faqin could only choose to abstain. They didn't even have the courage to oppose.
After all, Yu Haoran's vengeful personality had already been revealed through the battles that had shaken the entire Sect.
Whoever dared to oppose him taking over the position of Sect Master would be his enemy. No one in the entire Hundred Chi Gate was willing to become Yu Haoran's enemy.
Furthermore, Yu Haoran had just announced the ownership of Hundred Feet Peak through the actions of the Qingyun Faction's disciples.
Hundred Feet Peak was the symbol of the Hundred Chi Gate's Sect Master faction. It also represented Yu Haoran's attitude towards participating in the competition for the position of Sect Master.
Therefore, Lieyan, Zhong Faqin, and the other three Peak Masters had already decided to withdraw from the competition for the position of Sect Master. They were also considering whether they should hand over a portion of their power in exchange for the satisfaction of the new Sect Master, Yu Haoran, so that he wouldn't suppress the conflicts between the factions through the Sect Deathmatch.
"The person I like is from Qingyun Peak." After keeping everyone in suspense for nearly five minutes, Gao Luanping finally spoke again and announced his preferred candidate.
Qingyun Peak. Wasn't it Yu Haoran?
At this moment, no one was in the mood to pay attention to who Gao Luanping favored. They were all ready to show their support and approval to the new sect leader, Yu Haoran.
Gao Luanping swept his gaze across all the peak masters present, especially Lieyan and Zhong Faqin's expressions. Gao Luanping immediately felt as if he had eaten a secret peach.
"The chief disciple of Qingyun Peak, Chu Zhongyu!"
"Congratulations to …!"
Cao Yunwei from Tingyun Peak immediately stepped forward to congratulate Yu Haoran after Gao Luanping announced the candidate he had chosen.
However, before Yu Haoran's name could be said, Cao Yunwei was stunned for a moment. He then turned to look at Gao Luanping, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
In fact, Cao Yunwei was not the only one who doubted whether he had heard wrongly. The thirty over peak masters present all looked at Gao Luanping with the same expression.
"What's wrong? Did I not make myself clear enough?"
Gao Luanping shrugged when he saw everyone's puzzled expression. He repeated his words with an expression that said, "How could you not have heard it just now?"
"Didn't I just say that the candidate I like is the chief disciple of Qingyun Peak, Chu Zhongyu?"
"Eldest Senior Brother, congratulations on becoming the new sect leader of Hundred Chi Gate!"
Compared to those peak masters who had complicated thoughts, the eleven disciples from Qingyun Peak did not have so many messy thoughts in their hearts.
After hearing Gao Luanping announce for the first time that his candidate for the sect leader was Chu Zhongyu, other than shock, there was only joy in their hearts.
Huang Zonghua, who was more lively and did not pay attention to the situation, was the first to congratulate Chu Zhongyu.
Liu Guangwei and the others also hurried forward to congratulate him.
However, while Huang Zonghua and the others reacted quickly, Chu Zhongyu was still in a daze.
As the Eldest Senior Brother of Qingyun Peak, Chu Zhongyu, who was in charge of the affairs of Qingyun Peak, was well aware of the importance of the position of the sect leader of Hundred Chi Gate. He also knew that the main reason for the unquenchable factional disputes in the sect was because of the position of the sect leader.
Among them, the most competitive and most promising people to take over the position of the sect leader were the two deputy sect leaders, Lieyan and Zhong Faqin.
Even if Lieyan and Zhong Faqin, the two deputy sect leaders, had no intention of taking over the position of the sect leader, according to seniority, it was impossible for Chu Zhongyu, whose aptitude was shallow, cultivation was average, and did not have much influence.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at Yu Haoran. Chu Zhongyu suddenly remembered the eye contact between his Ninth Junior Brother and Gao Luanping before the factional Life-and-Death Battle between Qingyun Peak and Hundred Chi Peak. His Ninth Junior Brother had promised him an unexpected opportunity.
He immediately knew that the reason why Gao Luanping recommended him as the new sect leader was probably because of the deal between him and his Ninth Junior Brother.
"Ninth Junior Brother, did all of this come from you?" Turning to look at Yu Haoran, Chu Zhongyu's tone did not contain any surprise. In fact, his expression was a little angry as he questioned him.
Seeing Chu Zhongyu's slightly angry expression after guessing why Gao Luanping had recommended him as the new sect leader, Yu Haoran knew that things were not going well. He knew that his decision to act on his own had hurt his First Senior Brother's self-esteem.
"First Senior Brother, I'm sorry!"
Fortunately, Yu Haoran was a veteran of the battlefield and knew how to resolve his First Senior Brother's anger and dissatisfaction.
Therefore, he immediately apologized and made a second promise.
"First Senior Brother, if you have no thoughts or interest in the position of the new sect leader, you can completely reject the Peak Master's good intentions. I think the Peak Master would not mind."
Chu Zhongyu had originally wanted to criticize Yu Haoran and ask him if he could discuss with them or leak some information in advance before making a decision about the fate of the Qingyun faction disciples.
However, Yu Haoran's sudden apology and promise made the little anger in Chu Zhongyu's heart disappear completely.
"First Senior Brother, are you really not interested in the position of sect leader?"
The intelligent Huang Zonghua immediately saw the unhappiness between Yu Haoran and Chu Zhongyu. Combining the conversation between the two and Yu Haoran's apology and promise, he knew the true reason for Chu Zhongyu's unhappiness.
Therefore, the considerate Huang Zonghua hurriedly recommended himself with a cheeky smile.
"Ninth Junior Brother, since First Senior Brother is not interested, why don't you let me do it? I've been drooling over the position of sect leader for a long time!"
"Shut up!"
"Scram!"
Chu Zhongyu and Yu Haoran had the same reaction and attitude toward Huang Zonghua's recommendation.
"If you don't want to, then just don't want to. Why are you so fierce?" Huang Zonghua pretended to be heartbroken as he complained.
"Ninth Junior Brother, to be honest, becoming the sect leader of the Hundred Chi Gate was my greatest wish when I entered the Hundred Chi Gate and participated in the disciple aptitude test."
Perhaps it was because Yu Haoran had taken the initiative to apologize and promise, or perhaps it was because of Huang Zonghua's jesting just now, but Chu Zhongyu knew why he was so inexplicably angry at Yu Haoran.
The reason for all of this was that it wasn't that he wasn't interested in the position of sect leader of the Hundred Chi Gate. On the contrary, the position of sect leader had always been his goal and goal.
Yu Haoran's actions of his own accord seemed to have taken the initiative to reveal the desires in his heart, exposing the thoughts that he had always wanted to hide in front of everyone. It was difficult for him to clean up the mess for the time being!
However, Chu Zhongyu had already thought it through. Wasn't the position of sect leader the goal that he was fighting for?
Now, with the strong support of Ninth Junior Brother and the Peak Master, he already had the qualifications and ability to compete with the two deputy sect leaders, Lieyan and Zhong Faqin, for the position of sect leader. Why wouldn't he take this opportunity to fight for it?
