On the empty field, Han Ye Fei was bleeding from his lips. His face was pale and his eyes were full of shock.
Ling Xian's white robe was fluttering in the wind as he stood with his hands behind his back. Like an undefeatable immortal, his vigor shocked all nine levels of heaven and suppressed all 10 levels of hell.
The winner and loser had been determined.
This shocked everyone. They didn't think he would be so dominating that even Han Ye Fei was no opponent of his.
Remember that Han Ye Fei's ancestor was the most powerful cultivator under the Three Lives Hermit. His powerfulness was something everyone had witnessed.
His demeanor was definitely that of a monster with four undefeatable realms. In the entire Luo Yang City, very few people could compete against him!
Honestly speaking, Yu Zhi You and Gao Xin didn't think they were Han Ye Fei's opponent. Yet before their eyes, he had lost to Ling Xian. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
"So powerful!"
Yu Zhi You's eyes widened. She didn't think this would be the result.
Gao Xin was the same. Her devilish face was full of shock. Even the Nameless Elder, who was as steady as a mountain, was shaken.
As much as they were shocked, recognition appeared in their eyes for the first time.
Though the three battles weren't real battles, they were where Ling Xian used his own strength to fight against the three of them in their strongest areas.
Originally, they all thought Ling Xian was going to lose for sure and was no opponent of theirs. But in the end, they had lost. They had lost completely.
One had to know that these three battles had been a competition of their best aspects, yet they had lost so cleanly. What did this mean?
It meant Ling Xian defeated them in the areas they were most proud of. In other words, he was better than the three of them in these three areas!
Therefore, why wouldn't they be convinced?
"I have passed this test. Plus the previous two, I have passed all three of your tests."
Ling Xian softly grinned and glanced around, "I wonder if you are convinced now?"
Hearing this, everyone was silent.
The reality was before them. Ling Xian had defeated them in the areas they were most proud of. Why wouldn't they be convinced?
Though this result was cruel and hard to deal with, reality was reality and nobody could argue against it!
Therefore, Yu Zhi You and the other two nodded silently, expressing that they were convinced.
"Very good."
At this, Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. Then, his smile disappeared.
In the beginning, he was amiable to them. Firstly, it was because he was easy-going by nature, and secondly, it was because they did not approve of him. If he were to treat them coldly, they would definitely part on bad terms, and his identity as the Master of the Secret Pavilion would be in name only.
Now that they had been defeated and admitted defeat, he naturally had to display his authority as the Master of the Hidden Pavilion. Otherwise, how could he convince the masses?
"Since I've passed your test, and you're all convinced, then you should also acknowledge me as the Pavilion Master, right?"
Ling Xian glared at them. His eyes were full of authority, like a God looking down on all living beings.
"Yes, I do. You defeated us in the domain that we are most proud of. There is no doubt about your strength. You are worthy of me entrusting my life to you."
Yu Zhiyou's pretty face was solemn. Although she was unwilling, she had nothing to say.
Gao Xin was the same. As for Han Yefei, he recognized Ling Xian's identity as the Lord of the Hidden Celestial Pavilion from the very beginning. The difference was that at this moment, he truly acknowledged it.
"Very good."
Ling Xian's eyes were full of authority as he glanced over everyone, "Then now, it's time for you to call me the Ruler of the Hidden Pavilion."
Hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances and stepped forward in unison.
The nameless elder did the same.
Then, a sentence that came from the bottom of their hearts slowly came out of their mouths.
"Servant greets the Ruler."
At those words, the four of them knelt down on one knee with a serious expression. There was no longer any doubt in their eyes, only respect.
Respect from the bottom of their hearts.
After battling against Ling Xian, Yu Zhi You and the others all recognized his capabilities. Even though right now, he was merely at the beginning stage of the Path Choosing Stage, which was not enough for him to become the Ruler of the Hidden Pavilion.
But they all knew very well that Ling Xian's future was limitless and his potential was limitless!
Therefore, they recognized him from the bottom of their hearts and respected him from the bottom of their hearts!
Even the nameless elder recognized Ling Xian. He knew very well how unbelievable it was to awaken the Eyes of Execution. Therefore, he believed that Ling Xian will for sure become someone great in the future!
To have a ruler with such a bright future, for people like them who only have a mission and no freedom, was a great fortune.
"Very good. You may all rise." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a joyous smile.
After battling against these people, he deeply understood their powerfulness. Though none of them could compare to him, they were all extraordinary geniuses.
Plus, there was the nameless elder who was shoulder to shoulder with Xiang Jiuchen. The capability of the Hidden Pavilion was worthy of the word "terrifying".
Yet now, these people had become his subordinates and were willing to follow his orders unconditionally. Why wouldn't he be happy?
Although he was indifferent to fame and wealth, and he did not care about power, it was still a great thing to have a group of capable and loyal subordinates.
If it was anyone else, they would also be overjoyed!
"Yes, Ruler."
The few of them paid their respect and straightened their bodies. There was no longer the teasing and questioning look on their faces. There was only seriousness and respect.
These were the members of the Hidden Pavilion.
Before they recognized the Ruler, they could question him however they wanted and do whatever they wanted. But once they recognized him, they respected him from the bottom of their hearts and listened to his orders unconditionally!
Because none of them had freedom. All they had was a mission – a mission to sacrifice themselves for the Pavilion of Three Lives.
"There is no need to be so serious. Before me, be more natural." Ling Xian softly smiled. Since these people had recognized him, there was no need for him to reveal his stern side.
"Your face sure changes fast. Just a moment ago, you were as stern as an emperor, and now you're as gentle as the spring breeze." Yu Zhi You mumbled.
"I have always been an easygoing person."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "I have just become the Ruler of the Hidden Pavilion and there are many things I don't understand. Please forgive me."
"Ruler, you are being too serious."
The nameless elder spoke, "The Hidden Pavilion basically has nothing to do. The purpose of our existence is to protect the Pavilion of Three Lives. For one, when the Pavilion of Three Lives is in danger, we step up. For two, we kill the threat in its cradle. "
Pausing, he continued, "The former doesn't show up easily. The latter is Gao Xin's responsibility. The moment he finds out that someone is targeting the Pavilion of Three Lives, then the Hidden Pavilion will make its move."
Hearing this, Ling Xian nodded and shifted his gaze towards Gao Xin. He smiled, "I believe in your abilities."
"Do not worry, Ruler. I will do my best to protect the Pavilion of Three Lives." Gao Xin's expression was serious and his voice was powerful.
"Very good."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, "Oh right, are you the only members of the Hidden Pavilion?"
"Not really. Based on what I know, there are two others."
The nameless elder shook his head, "Those two are usually not in the Luo Yang Region. They are thousands of miles away, so they didn't come today."
"I see. It looks like we will have to meet again in the future."
Ling Xian softly grinned and paid his respect, "Let's stop here for today. I will summon you if I need anything."
