Pi Shi nodded one by one. A joyful cry came from the sky. "Master!"
Fan Zhishan flew down from above and quickly walked towards Pi Shi. She said with some surprise and shyness, "Why are you here?"
"How can I not come to your succession ceremony?" Pi Shi said with a serious look on his face.
"Thank you, Master." Fan Zhishan looked at him affectionately, then turned to look at the people from the other sects. She said a few welcoming words politely, then led everyone into the hall.
Pi Shi walked at the very front, and Fan Zhishan followed closely behind. Just as they were about to step into the hall, for some reason, her eyes swept towards Zhu Yao's direction. Suddenly, she widened her eyes, and her footsteps paused.
Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What happened?" Pi Shi was the first to notice his disciple's abnormality. Following her gaze, he looked towards Zhu Yao who was not far away, carrying a few probing divine senses and a hint of displeasure.
F * ck, don't tell me he recognized me! Zhu Yao subconsciously touched the mystic artifact in her hands. Suppressing the panic in the depths of her heart, she stood on the spot with a calm expression.
"It's nothing. I just saw a disciple who caught my eye." Fan Zhishan lightly replied. A gentle smile rose from the corner of her lips, and she walked straight towards Zhu Yao's direction. "This little sister, I like you a lot the moment I laid eyes on you. I wonder which sect's disciple are you from? Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master? "
"Ah?!"
Not only Zhu Yao, everyone present was a little confused as well. Wasn't this the inauguration ceremony? Why did he accept a disciple? Furthermore, the other party was a disciple from another sect.
She laughed out loud and said with a kind face. "You don't have to be afraid. We cultivators pay particular attention to fate. Meeting you today is fate. I really like you, and I want to take you in as my personal disciple. "
As soon as she said this, everyone present understood. A cultivator could only have one direct disciple, so they attached great importance to accepting a direct disciple, unless they met someone who was especially fated to be their disciple. Thus, becoming a personal disciple didn't just depend on one's talent. It all depended on fate. It was not easy to find one. No wonder he wanted to snatch it.
Zhu Yao's heart, on the other hand, felt tense and relaxed. What the hell was this female lead doing? Did he recognize her or not?
"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
"Hehe, my name is Ma Liang." He could only rely on his acting skills.
"Ma Liang …" Fan Zhishan sized her up. The more he looked, the hotter his eyes became. Zhu Yao could not help but break out in cold sweat, as she felt that there was something strange about that expression of hers. It can't be that he eats both men and women, right? Ya Miedie, I sell my body, not my skills!
"Which sect are you from? Are you willing to be my direct disciple? "
"Uh …" If I reject a lesbian, can I not slap my face?
"She's a disciple of my Grandhall Sect." Before she could even speak up, Fa Yu's voice sounded. Zhu Yao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, when it came to acting skills, the Best Actor had to compete with the Best Actress!
Fan Zhishan was stunned at first, then she called out coquettishly, "Big Brother Fa Yu …"
Fa Yu turned to look at her. His gaze was conflicted, as though it contained love, pain, disappointment, and other emotions. The technical content was too high, Zhu Yao expressed that she was unable to count them all.
Taking a deep breath, Fa Yu retracted the emotions in his eyes, restoring his cold expression. He portrayed a man who had his heart broken, and had no choice but to draw a clear line between himself and her, with great depth.
Only Zhu Yao could tell that the latter part was his true character. Most probably, he was already organizing his lines to scold the other party.
"The ones who came this time are all elite disciples of my Grandhall Sect. Forgive me for not having any plans to exchange disciples with Sect Master Fan."
Fan Zhishan immediately looked at him with a wronged expression, and gently called out. "Big Brother Fa Yu …"
Fa Yu, however, had already turned around and entered the hall, completely ignoring her.
Her expression stiffened, and she had no choice but to suppress the thoughts in the depths of her heart. She called for everyone to enter the hall, and continued with her succession ceremony. However, she did not forget to turn her head back, and looked at Zhu Yao a few times with reluctance.
Zhu Yao's hair instantly stood up, as she stood perfectly straight. The female lead did not know that she was brought here by Fa Yu, which meant that she basically did not recognize her. Otherwise, she would not have taken such a huge detour, and even used the excuse of taking her in as a direct disciple.
But why did she see her in a single glance? And she seemed to have developed a huge interest in her. With the scheming nature of the female lead, it was impossible for her to do something like this without a reason. If it wasn't for fame, then it was for benefits! But she was merely a Foundation disciple, what was there for her to care about? Why did she not look at anyone else, but only her? Unless … there was something on her that other people couldn't see, but she could?
Just what in the world was it? Zhu Yao faintly felt that she had grasped onto something. Yet, she just couldn't find the most crucial point.
The succession ceremony had already begun in the hall. The three Hall Masters of the four halls were already seated at the two sides of the main seat. Cao Qi raised the Sect Master's tablet, loudly read out an official speech, and was just about to solemnly hand it over to Fan Zhishan.
"Wait a moment!" Fa Yu suddenly stood up, and interrupted.
Cao Qi turned to look at Fa Yu, and his face was filled with dissatisfaction. "Fa Yu, what's the meaning of this?"
"Nothing much, I'm just a little curious." Fa Yu still said with a cold expression. "I heard that Spiritual Master Fan and the previous Sect Master share the same mother. Back then, they carried the wrong person, which is why they returned to Spirit Heaven Palace?"
"Of course, this is something that everyone knows." Cao Qi nodded. They had long announced this matter to the world, and by now, the entire cultivation world was already aware of it.
"Then that's strange." Fa Yu coldly snorted. "They're actually twins from the same mother. On what basis did Spirit Heaven Palace determine that the previous Sect Master was fake, and the current Sect Master is the real one?"
Cao Qi was instantly enraged, as though someone was intentionally finding fault with him. "Is there even a need to ask? Zhishan is able to awaken our sect's guardian sacred beast, the Spirit Guiding Beast. Isn't that enough proof?"
"Oh … Is that so?" Fa Yu swept his eyes across his surroundings. "Throughout my journey here, why haven't I seen that awakened guardian sacred beast?"
When he said that, the people from the other sects began to discuss amongst themselves as well. For the previous Sect Master to suddenly change their Sect Masters before their lifespan was up, this was a rare occurrence among the various sects in the first place, let alone something as ridiculous as twins recognizing the wrong person. It was very hard to convince the masses.
"You …" Just as Cao Qi was about to flare up, he was pulled back by Fan Zhishan, who shook her head at him.
Instead, she turned around and looked at Fa Yu with a sorrowful expression. "Big brother Fa Yu … Are you still blaming me?"
The corner of Fa Yu's lips twitched. Just as he was about to collapse, he immediately turned his head around coldly, and had almost scolded out the word 'trash'.
However, Fan Zhishan thought that he was silently admitting it. Letting out a long sigh, she turned to look at the crowd present. "Haah, I know that everyone has doubts in their hearts. Initially, this humble one had planned to form a life and death contract with the Spirit Guiding Beast after taking over the position of Sect Master. If everyone has any doubts, we can just form a contract with the Spirit Guiding Beast first. "
As she said that, she turned around and led the crowd out of the hall. Flying on her sword, they headed towards the largest mountain amongst the mountains.
Seeing the crowd coming out, she knew that Fa Yu had already settled the matter. She immediately followed after them on her sword.
Fan Zhishan stopped at a spot not far away from the floating mountain. She took out a tablet and tossed it into the air. Like an egg with its skin peeled off, the lush green of the floating mountain earlier began to fade away layer by layer, revealing a white mountain that looked as though it was made of crystals.
"Spirit Stone Peak!" someone cried out in surprise.
Sounds of praises resounded one after another. The entire floating mountain was actually made of spirit stones. It was no wonder the spiritual energy in Spirit Heaven Palace was so dense.
Fan Zhishan was very satisfied with the crowd's exclamations. With a smile, she flew towards the center of the entire mountain. The crowd followed after her, and only when they got closer did they see a gigantic cave dwelling at the center of the mountain. In the entire Spirit Stone Mountain, it was the place with the densest spiritual energy. Even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed as though it was about to materialize.
A person stood in front of the cave. He was dressed in a green robe, and he looked very handsome. However, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised. He was clearly a man, yet he carried an indescribable charm. When he saw the crowd approaching, he first frowned. His eyes were filled with undisguised contempt, and then, he turned to look at Fan Zhishan with a smile.
"Bai Li?" Fan Zhishan called out, her eyes were filled with inquiry.
That man reached out and pulled her into his embrace. With a wanton smile on his face, he nodded slightly, as though he was responding. His eyes subtly looked towards Sovereign Pi Shi who was behind them.
As expected, Pi Shi furrowed his brows.
Zhu Yao silently observed everyone's little movements. It seemed like this Bai Li was that tenth-ranked demonic beast. The female lead sure had heavy tastes.
However, looking at how this beast was interacting with the others, it did not seem like their relationship was particularly harmonious. It seemed like no matter how incredible the protagonist's halo was, it was still unable to overcome the nature of beasts.
She could faintly guess what method the female lead used to awaken the Spirit Guiding Beast. Most likely, this tenth rank demonic beast's help was involved.
"Everyone." Fan Zhishan withdrew from Bai Li's embrace, turned around, and cupped her hands towards the crowd. "Today, I hope that fellow practitioners can bear witness. I will now summon my sect's guardian sacred beast, the Spirit Guiding Beast."
She formed a seal with one hand, and with a wave of her hand, a series of white lights flashed in front of the gigantic spiritual cave. A gigantic figure could be faintly seen from within, as though something was being lifted up high and then dropped down. Even the entire Spirit Mountain trembled. Those were actually the footsteps of the other party. Before the crowd could even see the demonic beast's true body, an immense pressure was already assaulting them, causing their hearts to tremble.
"Ling Tian girly!" Zhu Yao transmitted her voice into her body. She planned on exchanging control of her body with the demonic beast once it came out. If the Spirit Guiding Beast could only form a contract with the Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace, she would not be able to do it. She had to do it herself.
"Mn, I understand, Saintess." Ling Tian responded. In the next moment, Zhu Yao began to gradually release her control over her body, planning on sinking into her Dantian.
At the same time, the Spirit Guiding Beast that attracted the crowd's exclamations slowly walked out of the cave as well, and its figure grew clearer.
Fan Zhishan smiled with a complacent look. The demonic beast had completely walked out of the cave, revealing a gigantic demonic beast with six wings and a green face. It even let out a long roar towards the sky, and its voice shook the blood of everyone present. "| `o ′ |"
