While the Myriad God Patriarch was away, the Myriad God Ridge was without a leader. Many of the Myriad God Ridge disciples did not know what had happened when Jade Emperor Palace suddenly collapsed.
Over the past few days, some of the outer-sect Elders had managed to clear up the crumbled Jade Emperor Palace. Many people were worried that the Myriad God Ridge had suffered an attack, especially since none of the upper echelons of the Myriad God Ridge had been seen. In addition to the massive energy fluctuations from the spatial array's activation, people guessed that the upper echelons of the Myriad God Ridge were probably fighting an unknown enemy.
Now that so much time had passed, there was no news of the battle. They didn't even know where the battlefield was. This left many people worried.
Until one day, energy suddenly gathered above the Myriad God Ridge, causing the spatial dimension laws to turn chaotic.
"Boom!"
The sky suddenly tore apart as a gigantic vortex appeared out of thin air. Chaotic spatial storms surged out of the vortex.
"What happened?"
The expressions of the Myriad God Ridge disciples changed drastically. Following that, they saw many Myriad God Ridge Elders appear from the vortex. It was actually a spatial passageway.
"The Elders are back!"
"Haha, they have finally returned safely. That's great."
Many people heaved a sigh of relief. The people who had left were the backbone of the Myriad God Ridge. If any accident had happened to them, the Myriad God Ridge would be finished. They would also lose their protection and their good days would naturally be over.
"I see the Patriarch!"
A Song family junior said. They heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Song Zhanchen return safely. The Song family was in a precarious situation and could not afford to suffer any losses.
At that moment, there was a loud boom. The spatial passageway that had opened up trembled as a bronze cauldron flew out. The cauldron was extremely heavy and its movement seemed to cause the spatial passageway to fail.
"Ascending Dragon Cauldron!" The Myriad God Ridge disciples naturally recognized the cauldron.
"Oh? Why don't I see the Sect Master? "
Someone asked. People realized that the Myriad God Sect Master was not among the group of people. It was normal for the Myriad God Patriarch to be missing. The patriarch was elusive to begin with, but it was odd that the Myriad God Sect Master had not returned.
Furthermore, what puzzled them even more was that they clearly saw a youth above the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's lid. He was riding the cauldron over.
"Isn't that Yi Yun?"
Someone said in astonishment. The Ascending Dragon Cauldron was the cornerstone treasure of the Myriad God Ridge. Usually, people would prostrate themselves in worship of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron as though it was a god. But now, Yi Yun was stepping on the Ascending Dragon Cauldron. How could they not be astonished?
But when they saw Yi Yun standing on the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, the other Elders turned a blind eye to him. Instead, they surrounded Yi Yun, as though they were stars surrounding the moon. This left everyone dumbfounded.
What was going on?
"Young Master Yi has also returned safely..."
In Sunken Moon Tower, Duanmu Qingwen was watching this scene from afar. She finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yi Yun return. She had always been worried that something would happen to Yi Yun. After all, Yi Yun had been imprisoned for too long. It was unknown how many people in the Myriad God Ridge wished for Yi Yun to suffer.
"Family Head, what's going on?"
A Song family disciple asked. They had previously heard rumors that the Myriad God Patriarch had imprisoned Yi Yun in order to execute him. They were hoping that Yi Yun would be executed by the Myriad God Patriarch so as to avenge the Song family. But now, not only was Yi Yun alive and kicking, he was even stepping on the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
"Family Head, how did that little bastard Yi Yun dare to step on the Ascending Dragon Cauldron …"
A middle-aged man from the Song family came forward and said to Song Zhanchen. Yi Yun knew the middle-aged man as well. He was the steward of the Myriad God Ridge's core disciple district, Song Yuanping. Back then, he had transferred Zuoyan Xiaoyu from Sunken Moon Tower to Zhang Wuchen and Song Bowen as a maidservant. When Yi Yun came to the Miscellaneous Chores Department to inquire, Song Yuanping feigned ignorance. In the end, he was brutally beaten by Yi Yun. His facial features were disfigured and he had to use many herbs to recuperate for half a year before he finally recovered.
Song Yuanping had always been brooding over the humiliation of being beaten up. He was waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge. He felt that the opportunity was almost upon him, but when he saw such a strange scene, he naturally felt depressed.
As he felt that something was amiss, he suppressed his voice and did not dare curse out loud. Song Zhanchen was the only one who could hear him.
He originally believed that the family head would tell him the reason, but he never expected that Song Zhanchen's expression would sink when he heard what he said!
"You blind dog slave, what nonsense are you babbling about?! You are courting death! "
As Song Zhanchen spoke, he suddenly took a step forward and slapped Song Yuanping in the face!
"Pa!"
There was a crisp sound of flesh hitting flesh. Song Yuanping cried out tragically as his body flew up. Song Zhanchen's slap was too ruthless. Song Yuanping's body spun like a spinning top in midair as the flesh on one side of his face was pulverized.
Before Song Yuanping landed, Song Zhanchen took another step forward and kicked Song Yuanping in the abdomen.
"Peng!"
Song Yuanping cried out tragically as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew dozens of meters back before slamming heavily into a wall.
"Boom!"
The Cold Nether Rock wall trembled violently as blood splattered all over it. Song Yuanping's consciousness was blurry from Song Zhanchen's beating. His body slowly slid down the wall, and at that moment, he saw his surroundings in double images. He could not see anything clearly.
He could not understand what he had just said. Why was he suddenly beaten up by the family head? Back when Yi Yun beat him up, he had not been as miserable as he was now. He clearly felt that his dantian had been ruptured by the family head's kick. He had been beaten to the point of death. Unfortunately, he had just recovered from his injuries, but now he was bedridden again. This time, he would be bedridden for a year.
This sudden scene left everyone silent. Everyone looked at Song Zhanchen in astonishment, unsure why he had beaten up a member of the Song family.
"Listen up!" Song Zhanchen spoke. "From this day forth, Young Master Yi will be the new sect master of the Myriad God Ridge! And from this day forth, the Myriad God Ridge will only have a sect master and not a patriarch. The sect master will be the person with the highest authority in the Myriad God Ridge! In the future, all of you will be under Young Master Yi's command. Anyone who offends Young Master Yi will be punished according to the sect's rules. This punishment will be considered light. "
Song Zhanchen infused his voice with Yuan Qi, allowing it to reach more than half the main peak.
Everyone was petrified when they heard the voice. They could not believe their ears!
Yi Yun was the new sect master of the Myriad God Ridge!?
Furthermore, the Myriad God Ridge would only have a sect master in the future and not a patriarch!?
Was Song Zhanchen crazy for saying such things?
The Myriad God Patriarch enjoyed an extremely revered status. In the entire Calm Sea, the Myriad God Patriarch held great sway! Even if the Myriad God Patriarch were to abdicate, Song Zhanchen should not have done so. He would not have dared to say that the Myriad God Ridge would only have a sect master in the future and not a patriarch!
Furthermore, why would the Myriad God Patriarch pass his position to Yi Yun?
If it was to be passed down, it should be to Feng Yunyang. Speaking of which, where was Feng Yunyang? Where was he?
No one could find Feng Yunyang. Furthermore, when they saw Song Zhanchen say those words, none of the Elders present objected. None of them jumped out to say anything disrespectful. All of them tacitly agreed with Song Zhanchen's words. Many of the Myriad God Ridge disciples present were completely dumbfounded. They felt like they were having a crazy and ridiculous dream.
"What are all of you waiting for? Hurry up and bow to the new sect master!"
Song Zhanchen urged. However, the disciples were slow to react to Song Zhanchen's urging. They could not accept the reality.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Song Zhanchen suddenly stepped forward. "Peng! Peng! " Two punches were thrown out, sending two Song family disciples flying like rubber balls. The ones left behind in the Myriad God Ridge were the weaker disciples, so how could they withstand Song Zhanchen's attacks?
They were beaten into a daze again as they spewed large mouthfuls of blood.
Upon seeing Song Zhanchen's murderous aura, someone jolted and hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Although they did not know what was going on, they were already in such a state. If they did not bow, they would be beaten by Song Zhanchen. For some unknown reason, Song Zhanchen had suddenly become Yi Yun's loyal subordinate. He showed no mercy in his attacks.
"Greetings, Sect Master …"
Everyone bowed in greeting.
Yi Yun was rendered somewhat speechless when he saw so many people bow. He had only wanted to return to the Myriad God Ridge, but he never expected such a scene to happen. He had never mentioned anything about a new sect master. It was all up to Song Zhanchen.
Perhaps because of the slave mark, Song Zhanchen was completely subservient to Yi Yun, resulting in such a scene. This also made Yi Yun feel wistful. The slave mark was truly domineering!
Yi Yun did not feel much about the position of new sect master. He had no interest in such etiquette either. He said, "I do not need such etiquette. Do what you need to do. You are dismissed."
