The Sacred Elite had spoken his mind about the next Sacred Elite, and his finger was actually pointing at Nie Tian!
"Him!" Everyone was completely stunned by the scene before them. They all cried out in surprise, and their expressions instantly turned sluggish. They simply could not believe their eyes.
At that moment, the person the Sacred Elite was pointing at was actually Nie Tian!
The next Sacred Elite that the Sacred Elite was talking about was actually Nie Tian!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed the scene before them.
They even suspected that the Sacred Elite was pointing at the wrong person.
The Sacred Elite was the most respected position in the Nine Ancient Clans, yet it was actually held by a human. This was something that the people of the Nine Ancient Clans could not accept.
But now, the Sacred Elite was indeed pointing at Nie Tian, and his eyes were blazing. He was clearly looking forward to making Nie Tian the next Sacred Elite.
If not for the special status of the Sacred Elite, the people of the Nine Ancient Clans would have even suspected that the person before them was their enemy.
"Sir Sacred Elite, you mustn't!" The Water Fairy Patriarch, Shui Jing, was the first to react. He knelt down in front of the Sacred Elite and said loudly, "The Sacred Elite is the supreme existence of the Nine Ancient Clans. How can we let a human take the position?"
The Fire Fairy Patriarch, Yan Sheng, also knelt down and earnestly said, "Sir Sacred Elite, this human has profaned the Nine Li Stone Tablet. He is truly an enemy of the Nine Ancient Clans. We absolutely cannot let him become the next Sacred Elite!"
The Earth Fairy Patriarch, Little Fatty, whose fat body was like a ball, half-knelt with difficulty and said, "Sir Sacred Elite, with your current state, it will definitely not be a problem for you to be a Sacred Elite for another few hundred thousand years. Please don't step down from your position!"
The other patriarchs also knelt down and pleaded with the Sacred Elite to retract his decision.
At this time, even Mu Xiongshan and Hei Xuanshui were a little flustered and did not know what to do.
They could accept Nie Tian's survival, but for them to admit that Nie Tian was the next Sacred Elite was too sudden.
The Sacred Elite was the most respected existence. Once they acknowledged it, it meant that they would have to lower their heads in front of Nie Tian from now on.
"Saint Duelist, please take back your decision!" When the people of the Nine Clans saw their Patriarchs kneeling, they followed suit and begged in unison.
This time, almost everyone objected to the Holy Duelists' decision.
"Patriarchs and clansmen, regardless of whether you accept it or not, this is the final decision I, as a Holy Duelist, will make." The Saint Duelist swept his gaze over everyone and loudly declared, "From now on, the human who triggered the Nine Li Stele, Nie Tian, is the new Saint Duelist of the Ancient Nine Clans!"
After saying that, the Saint Duelist suddenly took a step forward and did something that no one expected. He directly knelt before Nie Tian.
"Lord Saint Duelist, you mustn't!" The sudden scene stunned everyone, and they immediately cried out in alarm.
The sudden action of the Saint Duelist also gave Nie Tian a fright.
He had never imagined that the Saint Duelist would actually pass the position of Saint Duelist to him and even kneel before him in front of so many people.
Everyone from the Nine Clans was kneeling before the Saint Duelist, but the Saint Duelist was kneeling before Nie Tian.
This was equivalent to the people of the Nine Clans kneeling before Nie Tian!
"Lord Saint Duelist, you …" Nie Tian was taken aback. He didn't know what to say, so he took a step forward and tried to help the Saint Duelist up.
However, the Saint Duelist knelt resolutely and didn't want to get up. Instead, he said loudly, "Ming Jianyu of the Ancient Ming Clan pays his respects to Lord Saint Duelist!"
Nie Tian was taken aback. He stood rooted to the ground, his whole body stiff.
This old fella was actually serious!
The people of the Nine Clans were completely shocked when they saw this scene. Their expressions were sluggish, and they didn't react for a long time.
It was only then that most of them learned that the Saint Duelist's real name was Ming Jianyu.
Many people had even forgotten that the Saint Duelist, Ming Jianyu, was from the Ancient Ming Tribe.
The fact that the Saint Duelist was from the Ancient Ming Tribe surprised Nie Tian.
He really didn't know why Ming Jianyu had agreed to the Ancient Ming Tribe's expulsion from the Jiuli Demon Domain.
However, these things weren't important anymore. The most important thing right now was that the next Saint Duelist would soon be Nie Tian.
In fact, the moment Ming Jianyu knelt before Nie Tian, it had already been decided that Nie Tian would be the next Saint Duelist.
The Nine Clans' Saint Duelists had a tradition. The next Saint Duelist would be appointed by the current Saint Duelist. This was an unchanging rule.
Since Ming Jianyu had appointed Nie Tian as the Saint Duelist, then he would be the Saint Duelist. No one could change that!
Nie Tian, this is the last way to save your life. For the future of the Nine Clans, this is the only thing Ming Jianyu can do! Ming Jianyu thought to himself. His eyes were filled with extreme determination.
As a Saint Duelist, he knew better than anyone else what Nie Tian meant to the Nine Clans.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he, Ming Jianyu, could die, but Nie Tian couldn't!
Since Nie Tian had activated the Jiuli Stele, his life was related to the future of the Nine Clans, and even the survival of the Nine Clans.
Because of this, Ming Jianyu was willing to save Nie Tian at all costs.
As long as Nie Tian became a Saint Duelist, the Nine Clans wouldn't be able to kill him, no matter how much hatred they had for him.
A Saint Duelist was a supreme existence. Not only could the Nine Clans not kill Nie Tian, but they also had to treat him with utmost respect.
When everyone heard Ming Jianyu's words, they were instantly petrified.
They knew that there was no turning back.
No matter what they thought, Nie Tian was already a Saint Duelist.
The human that the Nine Clans hated the most and looked down on the most had actually become the supreme existence of the Nine Clans. How ironic was this!
Many members of the Nine Clans even began to wail when they came to their senses. The entire scene was filled with grief.
"Lord Saint Duelist, please rise." Nie Tian was taken aback by this sudden change. He only reacted after a long time and signaled Ming Jianyu to stand up.
"Lord Saint Duelist, please call me Ming Jianyu in the future," Ming Jianyu stood up and said respectfully.
Nie Tian smiled bitterly and thought to himself, You old man, your joke is a little too much.
He knew that Ming Jianyu was doing this to protect his life.
However, the identity of a Saint Duelist was a little exaggerated. With his current status and strength, how could he convince the masses?
Let alone experts like the Nine Clans' patriarchs, even Mizuhara, Hei Kun, and Hei Sha were not a match for Nie Tian.
A Saint Duelist with the strength of a late Overgod was definitely the weakest Saint Duelist in the history of the Nine Clans.
At this moment, Ming Jianyu suddenly turned around and looked at the eight patriarchs with a gloomy gaze. "Patriarchs, what are you all standing around for? Why haven't you come and greet the new Saint Duelist?"
Clearly, he was using his might to force the eight patriarchs to acknowledge Nie Tian's identity as a Saint Duelist.
As long as the eight patriarchs acknowledged Nie Tian's identity, the following matters would be simple.
However, the eight patriarchs were like blocks of wood, not moving at all.
Even Mu Xiongshan and Hei Xuanshui did not move.
It was true that they supported Nie Tian, but they did not support Nie Tian becoming a Saint Duelist.
Seeing this situation, Ming Jianyu frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Nie Tian.
Ming Jianyu was stunned for a moment. When he saw Nie Tian walking over, he did not know what Nie Tian wanted to do.
Nie Tian walked over step by step, and eventually came to a stop beside Shui Jing, the high chieftain of the Water Fairies.
