Chapter 1546: Chapter 1543: The Eve of the Siege (Part 2)

Now it mainly depends on whether another elder of the Kunlun Sect agrees to hand over the sect to Chen Tianlong. That person is the former Sect Leader, Master Wufa.

There had been such great upheavals in the sect, Master Wufa could no longer just sit idly by, so today he finally emerged from seclusion. In the past, his strength was indeed formidable, even stronger than Wuchen’s.

However, times have changed, and now Chen Tianlong possesses an even more formidable strength, in the early stage of Extreme Dao, and even the girl beside him has reached the Extreme Dao. Thus, Master Wufa’s level is no longer worth mentioning.

It is because of this that Master Wufa decided to come out of seclusion.

He was originally someone dedicated to studying the Extreme Dao, and now that he heard Chen Tianlong and others had reached the Extreme Dao, he was both curious and excited. As for any changes in the sect, he wasn’t overly concerned.

He was somewhat saddened by Wuchen’s death, for they were fellow apprentices, but he knew best about Wuchen’s character.

It was his own doing; he had no one else to blame. Being a practitioner with high cultivation, Wufa swiftly saw through all this.

At this time, the Kunlun Sect had gathered all its disciples at the main square to welcome Master Wufa out of seclusion. Chen Tianlong, Mengting, and Feifei were also there to join in the welcome.

At noon, an elderly man with snow-white hair, yet full of vitality, stood atop the high platform. This person’s extraordinary demeanor was not like the treacherous Wuchen. Instead, Master Wufa had the air of a great master, making Chen Tianlong involuntarily rise in respect.

"Dear fellow apprentices, today Master Wufa comes out of seclusion to take on the position of the Kunlun Sect Leader. If anyone disagrees, they may speak up." Great Protector Wu Hui stated this purposefully, to give Chen Tianlong a chance.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianlong did not speak up but joined the rest of the disciples in supporting Master Wufa as the sect leader. In fact, this was Chen Tianlong’s wisdom; if he were to recommend himself at this moment, he would certainly invite the disciples’ criticism.

Firstly, the Sect Leader’s death was related to Chen Tianlong, and secondly, Chen Tianlong was not a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, yet was undoubtedly the strongest person. Master Wufa also knew of Chen Tianlong’s prowess; his emergence was for him. If Chen Tianlong could help him break through to the Extreme Dao and pursue higher realms, he would willingly hand over the position of Sect Leader.

"Support Master Wufa as the next Sect Leader." The Kunlun Sect disciples shouted in unison.

"Ah! I thank all the disciples for their loving support, but I, an old man, am already aged. As they say, ’New talents will emerge in every generation,’ the position of Sect Leader should be taken by a young and capable new generation who can truly take on this heavy responsibility. I have grown accustomed to a carefree life, solely pursuing the Extreme Dao and the Immortal Realm, and wish to leave worldly matters aside."

At this point, Master Wufa suddenly turned around and said, "I am aware that a prodigy has emerged in the Central Plains Martial Arts world named Chen Tianlong, who is here. As a practitioner, the wise should be respected first. I honor this young man, so I recommend him to be our Kunlun Sect’s new Sect Leader."

"Whoa...."

After a buzz of astonishment, everyone was evidently discussing why Master Wufa made such a decision.

"Everyone, calm down. Even though our Kunlun Sect appears strong, possessing thousands of Celestial Dao seven-star Great Perfection experts, what you don’t know is that even a few experts from the Immortal Realm descending casually could bring us an extermination disaster. Therefore, our Sect Leader must have the ability to confront Immortal Realm experts, and this Chen Tianlong is not only an Extreme Dao expert but is said to have a unique cultivation technique, being a successor of the Ancient Sect Divine Sword Sect. The sword he wields, the Dragon Slayer Sword, is the remnant blade of the Ancient Divine Artifact Immortal Sword."

Master Wufa could be said to know the affairs of the world without leaving his door; this is attributed to his Spirit Realm, which various sects use to observe external affairs in their own way.

The emissaries from the Celestial Pill Sect also used the Spirit Realm to observe the battle situation, and as a person at the Great Perfection Limit of Celestial Dao with seven stars, Master Wufa naturally had his own set of Secret Techniques.

"Whoa....."

Once again, there was a gasp of surprise, as now everyone understood Master Wufa’s intention; he was concerned about the sect’s survival.

"Therefore, everyone act for the greater good. I believe under Chen Tianlong’s leadership, our Kunlun Sect will grow stronger and remain invincible."

Master Wufa’s words had basically confirmed Chen Tianlong as the chosen Sect Leader of their Kunlun Sect.

Suddenly, Master Wufa went up to Chen Tianlong, then suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Kunlun Sect disciples heed the order, bow to the new Sect Leader Chen Tianlong."

Everyone was initially stunned, but quickly recovered, joined by the Great Protector and the Third Protector, who went up to Chen Tianlong, leading the disciples to kneel down, "Sect Leader Chen Tianlong, please accept a bow from all the disciples."

"Ah? This is absolutely inappropriate, how can I, an elder, receive such a grand gesture from you seniors? Please rise, I’m truly unworthy." At this moment, Chen Tianlong was really a bit overwhelmed. Although he had indeed intended to take the Kunlun Sect into his possession, when it really came time to take it over, he suddenly felt great pressure.

"Ah! Chen Tianlong, please don’t refuse anymore; this is what everyone desires. In the martial arts world, apart from you, this old man can find no one more capable than you to match this position of Sect Leader." Master Wufa spoke honestly. Before Kuang Chenggong appeared, indeed, Chen Tianlong was the strongest, youngest person he had ever seen.

"I...."

"Chen Tianlong, do you not have any compassion? You know the current situation, Kuang Chenggong, Wu Jun, and others have already obtained the Golden Core. Should they break through, our Kunlun Sect would be in a precarious position."

The Great Protector also understood the gravity of the situation. Previously unaware that Kuang Chenggong was a Sabina person, it was later discovered that they had always been dealing with an enemy.

Lu Fei did not dare to speak out in the crowd anymore, for his reliance had died, and as the Prince of Sabina Country, he had no choice but to continue to endure humiliation.

"Yes, Chen Tianlong, please agree to be our Sect Leader."

The disciples echoed together. Previously, they hadn’t realized the implications, but when the Great Protector mentioned the current situation, they suddenly woke up; with Extreme Dao experts already appearing in the Mortal Realm, more unknown powerful experts would soon emerge, yet their strength remained stagnant.

At such a critical time, without a strong pillar to lean on, their Kunlun Sect would quickly become fodder for others. Understanding all this, Chen Tianlong naturally became their best candidate for Sect Leader in their hearts.

In fact, this was all thanks to Great Protector Wu Hui’s arrangements, first convincing Master Wufa, and then spreading the news within the sect, saying Kuang Chenggong and others had already broken through to Celestial Extreme Dao. However, Kuang Chenggong being a Sabina person, came with intentions to take over the Kunlun Sect but was thwarted by Chen Tianlong, completely ruining his plans.
