Hundred Feet Peak, in front of the ruins of the treasury!
"Ninth Junior Brother, you've put in so much effort to help me ascend to the position of Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate."
"If I, Chu Zhongyu, don't know what's good for me, I'll not only fail to live up to your kind intentions, but also go against my own wishes."
After facing his inner thoughts, Chu Zhongyu firmly expressed his true attitude towards the position of Sect Master.
It was worth it!
Chu Zhongyu's firm attitude made Yu Haoran feel very gratified and happy.
Yu Haoran had actually thought it through carefully before appointing Chu Zhongyu as the Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate.
Originally, with the destruction of the Hundred Chi Gate in a few years, the position of Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate was not only a hot potato, but also a life-threatening talisman.
However, after learning that the entire Hundred Feet Peak was a top-grade Martial Emperor magic weapon, he had an idea.
According to Thaling, the Heaven Measuring Ruler actually already had the ability to become a Divine Weapon. However, after the master who refined it was accidentally killed, the spirit of the Heaven Measuring Ruler's weapon spirit was somewhat damaged.
Moreover, the weapon spirit was plagued by a huge poison, causing it to fall into a state of dormancy.
If the poison could be removed and the damaged spirit of the weapon spirit repaired, it would be able to become a Divine Weapon directly. The success rate of upgrading would be as high as 90%.
If the Heaven Measuring Ruler succeeded in becoming a Divine Weapon, the benefits that the master of the Heaven Measuring Ruler would receive would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Yu Haoran had been thinking about how to keep the Hundred Feet Peak in his hands.
Now, through the Sect Deathmatch, Zhao Ji had no choice but to defect from the Hundred Chi Gate, allowing him to smoothly take over the Hundred Feet Peak.
However, there was a hidden danger. As the symbol of the Hundred Chi Gate's Sect Master, the Hundred Feet Peak naturally belonged to the new Sect Master, whether morally or logically.
Therefore, in order to protect Hundred Feet Peak, Yu Haoran had to forcibly push his own people into the position of sect master.
Of course, in order to protect the Hundred Feet Peak and obtain the Heaven Measuring Ruler, this was only one of the reasons why Yu Haoran was willing to recommend Chu Zhongyu to be the Sovereign.
The other reason was that Yu Haoran found that the biggest problem facing Qingyun Peak was not the lack of talented disciples or the lack of cultivation resources, but the shortcomings and disadvantages of the disciples of Qingyun Peak.
For example, Eldest Senior Brother Chu Zhongyu!
As the Eldest Senior Brother of the Clear Cloud Faction, whether it was his temperament, knowledge, or ability to deal with unexpected situations, he was much weaker than the other Eldest Disciples of the other factions.
It wasn't because Chu Zhongyu wasn't as good as those people, but because the way Qingyun Peak handled things had affected his growth.
Therefore, Yu Haoran wanted to use the experience of the Hundred Chi Gate's Gate Master to improve his eyesight and experience, as well as temper his temperament and adaptability.
After all, Chu Zhongyu was bound to take over Qingyun Peak in the future and become the Peak Master of Qingyun Peak. An outstanding Peak Master would also be his strongest help in conquering the world in the future.
In fact, not only did he have arrangements for Chu Zhongyu, in the following period of time, he would also arrange for the disciples of the Qingyun faction to be either placed in important positions in the sect or leave Qingyun Peak to go to a suitable place for them to train.
"Eldest Senior Brother, since I asked the Peak Master to recommend you as the new Sovereign, then I have full confidence that you will be elected."
Since Chu Zhongyu had already expressed his will, Yu Haoran, as the mastermind of the whole thing, had to give his respected Eldest Senior Brother a guarantee.
Although Chu Zhongyu and Yu Haoran didn't deliberately lower their voices when they were talking, most of the people present simply didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.
This was because they were now considering whether Chu Zhongyu, who was still inexperienced, had the qualifications and ability to become the new Sovereign.
"Junior Brother Gao, are you sure that the person you recommended is qualified to be the new Sovereign of the Hundred Chi Gate?" Lieyan asked in a low voice.
If the person recommended by Gao Luanping was Yu Haoran, then Lieyan would support him completely and would be willing to cooperate with Yu Haoran in managing and developing the Hundred Chi Gate in the future.
However, the person recommended by Gao Luanping was only a junior who had just broken through to the Martial King realm. This made Lieyan feel dissatisfied and humiliated at the same time.
Therefore, he didn't care if he would offend Yu Haoran and took the initiative to question him.
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Lieyan's question is exactly what I'm worried about."
Seeing Lieyan take the initiative to question Gao Luanping, Zhong Faqin, who originally had a trace of worry in her heart, immediately agreed.
"Does a disciple who has just broken through to the Martial King realm have the qualifications and ability to lead a huge second-rate sect?"
After all, he had the same thoughts as Lieyan. He was wholeheartedly convinced that Yu Haoran was competing for the position of Sovereign and wouldn't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
However, he was neither convinced nor convinced that Chu Zhongyu was competing for the position of Sovereign.
However, Lieyan and Zhong Faqin dared to jump out and question Gao Luanping because of their own status and strength. After the matter, they weren't afraid of Yu Haoran and Gao Luanping's revenge.
However, the other Peak Masters who had the ability to compete lowered their heads and pondered for a long time. In the end, they chose to remain silent.
After all, it was impossible for Gao Luanping and Chu Zhongyu to have much interaction. He was willing to support Chu Zhongyu to compete for the position of Sovereign either because of Yu Haoran or because he had secretly reached some kind of agreement with Yu Haoran.
Questioning Gao Luanping and opposing Chu Zhongyu was equivalent to directly offending Yu Haoran.
The consequences of offending Yu Haoran were probably something they couldn't bear.
"Senior Brother Lie, Junior Brother Zhong, I'm only responsible for recommending candidates for the position of Sovereign. As for whether or not this candidate is qualified for the position of Sovereign and whether or not he can gain the approval of all of you, that has nothing to do with me, Gao Luanping."
In the face of Lieyan and Zhong Faqin's joint questioning, Gao Luanping chuckled and directly kicked the ball to Chu Zhongyu. In other words, he had indirectly kicked the ball to Yu Haoran.
Seeing that Gao Luanping was playing Tai Chi and was obviously unwilling to bear the joint attack of Lieyan and Zhong Faqin and had chosen to take the initiative to step back, Yu Haoran glared at him rather unhappily. He then turned his gaze towards Lieyan and Zhong Faqin.
"I wonder if Vice Sect Leader Lie and Vice Sect Leader Zhong are dissatisfied with my Eldest Senior Brother's competition for the position of Sovereign. If there's anything you don't agree with, please point it out!" He took a step forward and stood in front of Chu Zhongyu as he asked with a smile on his face.
"Junior Nephew Yu, questioning your Eldest Senior Brother's qualifications to take over the position of Sovereign is not something that I, Lie, am deliberately targeting anyone." Seeing that Yu Haoran had taken the initiative to stand up for Chu Zhongyu, Lieyan took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"Senior Uncle Lie, the new Sovereign of the Hundred Chi Gate is related to the life and death of the entire Sect. Whether or not my Eldest Senior Brother can become the new Sovereign in the end, any suggestions and opinions you have are precious."
The competition for the position of Sovereign was different from the previous few conflicts. Being tough was only one of the means. Convincing people with reason was the way of the King.
Therefore, even though Lieyan was the first to jump out to question him, Yu Haoran not only did not show the slightest bit of anger or hatred, but even the way he addressed him became much more intimate.
"Junior Nephew Yu, I'll say three opinions."
Yu Haoran's humble attitude made Lieyan's originally nervous mood relax a lot. Without much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said the three opinions that he had originally intended to use to refute Gao Luanping.
"Senior Uncle Gao, please speak!" Yu Haoran said respectfully.
