In the core disciples' peak of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion …
A young man was wielding a sword in his hand. All of a sudden, he released his grip, and the sword pierced into the trunk of a tree not too far away.
"Senior He, you managed to learn her move?"
A young man excitedly walked over from a distance.
If Bai Ruanqing was here, she would surely be able to recognize the two of them.
They were the top ranked core disciple, He Jingxuan, and the fourth ranked core disciple, Hu Chen.
After his battle with Bai Ruanqing, He Jingxuan had been studying the two moves that Bai Ruanqing had used to defeat him, and it was only at this moment that he was able to make some sense of it.
"These two moves are indeed uncanny workmanship, it's amazing …"
He Jingxuan shook his head.
He had thought that Bai Ruanqing was just tossing a sword casually, but the more he studied it, the more frightening it became.
Bai Ruanqing's swordsmanship seemed to be harnessing the profound secrets of the world. No matter what kind of move he used to deal with it, he would be met with an even more intense counterattack.
"Indeed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to sweep through our entire core disciples single-handedly …"
Hu Chen shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile.
It was no different from slapping their own faces if they did not acknowledge Bai Ruanqing's strength, but they did. Those two moves that Bai Ruanqing had displayed left them fuming with rage.
"By the way, I asked you to investigate who she learned this from. Did you find out?"
He Jingxuan turned his attention away from the matter and asked.
"I did. If I'm not mistaken, it's I Am Low Profile, the person who swept through the inner disciples!"
Hu Chen replied.
"It's him?"
He Jingxuan frowned. "Isn't he only at Dimension Shatterer realm consummation?"
He had heard a little about I Am Low Profile causing a huge ruckus in the inner disciples, and he had even heard that the other party was a Dimension Shatterer realm cultivator.
"It's likely that I Am High Profile has reached Pseudo Immortal realm primary stage, so there's a good chance that he's the one who defeated us …" Hu Chen was just about to voice his deduction when a deafening voice suddenly reverberated across the entire mountain.
"From today onward, Zhang Xuan will be the new sect leader of our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!"
"It's our sect leader!"
"Zhang Xuan will be our sect leader? Who in the world is that Zhang Xuan? "
The two of them were stunned.
Everyone had heard of the abdication of the sect leader, but … even if he had to abdicate, it should have been to an elder or someone whose name they knew. Where in the world did this fellow pop out from?
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, Han Jianqiu's voice sounded once more.
"I know that many people don't know who Zhang Xuan is! He is I Am Low Profile, who single-handedly challenged the inner disciples, and I Am Very Handsome, who challenged the core disciples! "
"I'm low-key?"
He Jingxuan was stunned. "Didn't he just break through to the Pseudo Immortal Realm?"
When the young man challenged the inner disciples yesterday, he was only at Dimension Shatterer realm consummation. With such strength … how could he possibly become the sect leader?
"The reason he became the sect leader is because he has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent. Even though his cultivation is only at the Heavenly True Immortal realm, he was able to kill a Heavenly High Immortal and three Heavenly True Immortals. Furthermore, he was able to defeat Elder Dianwei and the Four Grand Elders single-handedly …"
Han Jianqiu continued.
"Peak of the True Immortal realm?"
"Killing a Heavenly High Immortal?"
"Defeat Sect Leader Han and the other elders?"
He Jingxuan and Hu Chen looked at each other and couldn't help but sway a little.
How could he be so powerful?
We're not thinking of the same person, are we?
Considering that he was only at Dimension Shatterer realm consummation the previous day, it was already an incredible feat for him to have reached Lesser Pseudo Immortal realm. What the heck was a Heavenly True Immortal realm consummation cultivator?
More importantly, what in the world happened when he killed a Heavenly High Immortal realm consummation cultivator?
"I'm only saying all of this to let you know that I've sincerely relinquished my position to you. I hope that you'll be able to follow Sect Leader Zhang Xuan in the future and bring the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion to greater heights …"
The voice slowly faded away.
Hu Chen turned to He Jingxuan.
"Alright, let's listen to Sect Leader Han's orders. From now on, our sect leader will be Zhang Xuan!"
"But …"
"What does Sect Leader Zhang look like? How old is he? "
He Jingxuan and Hu Chen fell into a daze.
For us to respect our sect leader …
But at the very least, what does he look like?
If we don't give him anything, how do we know which one is ours?
…
On the peak of the inner disciples.
Cao Chengli was seated by the doorframe, looking at the surroundings with a conflicted look on his face.
"I can't use my left foot, I can't use my right foot, and I can't jump either … It seems like I'll have to crawl over …"
Just as Cao Chengli was shaking his head helplessly, a voice suddenly sounded in the air.
"The Young Master … has become the sect leader of one of the Six Sects?"
Putong! Cao Chengli fell to the ground and rubbed his ears in disbelief.
He had witnessed the Young Master's prowess back in Xuanjiang City, but who could have thought that he would be so formidable?
It had only been two days since he arrived at the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, but he had already risen from the follower of an inner disciple to the sect leader.
How in the world did he do it?
Bai Ruanqing and Dan Xiaotian, who were in the midst of cultivating, were stunned as well. A moment later, their eyes lit up with passion.
Their teacher had become the sect leader!
As his direct disciples, they couldn't afford to embarrass themselves!
They had to work even harder!
…
Similar scenes were happening all over the peaks of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
In an instant, all of the disciples and elders had the same name etched into their minds … Zhang Xuan!
In just two days, he had become the sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the fastest in history!
…
"Elder Han, if you do this … won't you let the Sect Master enter the eyes of the Deities Templar and be even more afraid of him?"
Elder He Tian couldn't help but ask. Han Jianqiu had become an elder of the Hall of Gods.
He had been trying to hide the matter from the Hall of Gods so as to not draw the attention of the Hall of Gods.
Wasn't this a little too high-profile?
"The Hall of Gods has already sent their men to make a move. Rather than hiding the matter, we might as well make it public. This way, even if the Hall of Gods intends to kill the sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, they will have to think twice before doing so," Han Jianqiu said with his hands behind his back.
If Zhang Xuan didn't have any identity, the Hall of Gods could have just killed him. No one would have known about his existence.
However, things were different now that he had become the sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
If the Hall of Gods really wanted to make a move, they would have to give the entire Forsaken Continent an explanation!
Otherwise, how could they possibly kill him?
If the Hall of Gods were to do so, they would become assassins, and the entire Forsaken Continent would fall into chaos.
Elder He came to a realization and finally understood what was going on.
…
Starchaser Palace.
Behind the crescent-shaped door, a slender figure stood in the middle of the corridor. Her head was tilted upward, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking about. Her silky black hair flowed down her white robe, reminiscent of ink on a piece of paper.
"Sect leader!"
A young lady suddenly kneeled down before him.
"What's wrong?"
The delicate figure turned around. It was a beautiful woman with a gentle and moving appearance.
"The Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion has announced that Han Jianqiu has resigned from his position as the sect leader!"
The young lady clasped her fist.
The Six Sects had their own intelligence network. Through the Ethereal Hall, they were able to spread news to every corner of the Forsaken Continent in an instant.
"Resign? What does he intend to do? "
The sect leader frowned.
The reason why the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion was able to maintain its position as one of the Six Sects and rank in the top three of the Forsaken Continent was closely related to Han Jianqiu.
If such an expert were to resign from the position of Sect Master without a proper reason, it would cause the morale of the entire sect to plummet.
"I'm not too sure. Based on the news that I received, it was an abrupt announcement. There was no prior warning at all," the young lady explained.
"Then … is the successor the person who comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent? When will the inauguration ceremony be held? "
The sect leader asked.
For Han Jianqiu to make such a decision, it was likely that he had found a more suitable candidate. With this thought in mind, the news regarding the appearance of the expert who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent surfaced in his mind.
"That's right. Sect Leader Han said that the new sect leader has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, and his name is … "the young lady hesitated for a moment before nodding." Zhang Xuan! "
"Zhang Xuan?"
The sect leader was taken aback.
Kacha! Kacha! The stone pedestal beneath her feet began cracking. Kacha! It sounded as if it would shatter at any moment.
From the looks of it, she had failed to control the energy within her body in her agitation.
"Sect Leader Han …" the young lady hurriedly bowed in shock.
"I'm fine. It's just that I didn't expect it to happen so quickly …" the sect leader said as the cracking of the stone pedestal stopped. "Did our men meet the new sect leader? Do you know how powerful he is? "
"The new sect leader hasn't appeared yet, and he hasn't spoken a single word to us. Based on what Sect Leader Han said, the new sect leader is only at Heavenly True Immortal realm, but he managed to kill a Heavenly High Immortal and three Heavenly True Immortals!"
The lady pondered for a moment before replying.
The spy in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion had relayed Sect Leader Han Jianqiu's words in great detail.
"A Heavenly True Immortal killed a Heavenly High Immortal and three Heavenly True Immortals?"
The sect leader exclaimed in disbelief. "How long has it been? To think that he would be so powerful … "
Kacha! Kacha!
The stone pedestal crumbled once more.
"Sect Leader Han … Do you know Sect Leader Zhang Xuan?"
The young lady asked.
In her memory, their sect leader was someone who was always calm and composed, but she had lost her composure twice in a row today.
The sect leader shook her head and smiled. "I don't really know him. Right, bring Wu Chen over! "
"Yes!"
The young lady said before backing out of the room. A moment later, an adolescent boy followed behind her.
"Paying respects to Sect Leader Han!"
The adolescent boy kneeled down and kowtowed.
The Sect Master placed his hands behind his back and said nothing. Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, he said calmly, "He's here!"
The adolescent boy's eyes lit up, and he kneeled down once more. "Sect Leader Han, I wish to follow him. I'm willing to go through fire and water, and I'm willing to die a thousand deaths. Please grant my wish!"
"Follow him? Do you know where he is at the moment? How powerful is he now? "
The sect leader asked with a smile.
The adolescent boy shook his head.
"He's currently the sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion. He has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, and his cultivation has reached Heavenly True Immortal realm. He has even slain Heavenly High Immortals with his own hands," the sect leader said.
"This …"
The adolescent boy leaped in shock. "So fast?"
"Indeed. All along, I thought that the Spirit God had made a mistake. How could an insignificant figure from a lower world win her favor? But from the looks of it now, it seems like he does possess extraordinary capabilities and talent. If I'm not mistaken, he might even be on par with Kong shi! "
The sect leader said as she walked past the round door on the stone pedestal. "Let's go. Follow me to the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion. I want to see if he's the new sect leader!"
After saying those words, she vanished on the spot with the adolescent boy.
