Chapter 1183: Chapter 1082: Inheriting the Sect Master’s Position
A heroic figure of a generation, dying unknowingly at the hands of his own disciple—such a tragedy is both laughable and lamentable.
Anyone with common sense would know not to provoke the other party.
Alright, it’s all over now.
"Master, I’m sorry. If you didn’t die, that position would have only been something to look at. Now it’s finally mine. I waited thousands of years for this day," Chen Dao Yan was particularly excited.
"Sect Master, your meal is ready," the voice of the maid outside brought him back to his senses.
He opened the door and walked out.
Two maids hurriedly saluted.
You don’t need to come in, leave here.
Soon after, several elders appeared at the doorway of the Sect Master’s room.
"Prepare,"
"Yes, Sect Master." Several elders had already changed their address, meaning that Chen Dao Yan’s major affairs were now accomplished.
Clang, clang, clang!
The bell resounded throughout the sect.
Just gathered once during the day, what’s the reason this time?
The entire sect, regardless of gender, appeared once more in the square.
Chen Dao Yan cast a glance at all the disciples of the sect, "I have some unfortunate news for you all."
The entire sect grew tense.
"Yang Sect Master, my Master, failed to breakthrough, fell in body and spirit, and has left us forever."
At this news, the whole venue was in an uproar, but peculiarly, no one cried. It was too abnormal.
Yet no one dared to come forward, which was interesting—what should have been a significant funeral had no trace of sadness.
But really, you couldn’t blame them; although Qingyun Sect Master was the sect leader, there hadn’t been much communication with the disciples of the sect.
Let alone guiding the disciples of the sect.
As for who would be the sect master, it really wasn’t that important.
"Tomorrow, we will hold a ceremonial burial for the sect master. I will assume the position of the head of Qingyun Sect as of today. Do any of you have any objections?"
In a glance, among tens of thousands of people, not a single one stepped forward.
Chen Dao Yan was very pleased.
Since there are no objections, why are you still hesitating?
Salute the sect master.
The hearts of all the disciples were in a daze—within one day, the Young Sect Master had ascended to Sect Master, was there something fishy going on?
Even if there was, I’m afraid no one dared to question it.
So it was that simple to become the sect master?
Of course not, the key figures were entering.
Wait!
The Supreme Elders have arrived.
From within the Forbidden Land, two elders with immortal demeanor appeared on the main platform.
"What’s the meaning of this, two elders?"
"Chen Dao Yan, you do not seem to be the first in line for succession, do you?"
"Supreme Elders, could there be someone more suitable than me?" Chen Dao Yan sneered.
He knew these old fellows would definitely appear, but he didn’t expect them to come so quickly.
"Welcome Lady and Miss."
Upon these words, the entire sect of disciples stood solemnly.
And seen in the sky was a rainbow bridge stretching to the main platform.
Gao Xinyi, Yang Luoxian, and Tang Feng all landed together on the main platform.
"Greetings, Lady." The two Supreme Elders, along with the other elders, all saluted.
"Master’s wife, Junior Sister." Chen Dao Yan’s face was grim. He never expected the ailing Master’s wife would have even broken through in cultivation, causing him immense pressure.
At that moment, he sensed fear, as if a sign of impending misfortune was approaching.
At this time, Chen Dao Yan signaled to the elders to prepare, the major affair was accomplished, absolutely no mistakes could be allowed.
Yet some elders suddenly made a move, quickly seizing control of Gao Xinyi and the other two.
"You are still too inexperienced," Chen Dao Yan laughed.
"Chen Dao Yan, you killed your master to seize power, harmed your peers, and disrespected your elders. What crime should you be guilty of?"
"Master’s wife, those words are too severe. How could I possibly kill my master?" Chen Dao Yan was confident that he had cleaned up thoroughly and could not be suspected.
"Unwilling to admit, huh? Release me so everyone can see what a beast you are." With Tang Feng’s assurance, Gao Xinyi’s courage grew a bit, but speaking those words still made her extremely nervous.
"Fine, I’ll see what evidence you can bring out."
Gao Xinyi displayed the screen given by Tang Feng, then connected and powered it. Subsequently, it showed Chen Dao Yan’s activities over the past two days.
Everything done and said in the Sect Master’s room was clearly visible.
"This, this is impossible."
"Seeing is believing, Chen Dao Yan, you have done outrageous deeds and now cannot deny it, can you?" In fact, even seeing everything on the screen, Gao Xinyi herself was shocked.
This Chen Dao Yan indeed was despicable beyond compare.
"Punish!" the Supreme Elders and sect disciples simultaneously uttered the word.
However, Chen Dao Yan turned quite mad, "Punish me? Who has the skill? Come, all of you, come together!" he disdainfully scanned the group of elders, finally fixating on Tang Feng.
"Boy, perhaps all of this was engineered by you. Without you, how could the Master’s wife recover so quickly? Tell me, how should I kill you?"
"Kill me?"
Tang Feng chuckled, his face full of disdain, "Someone like you wants to kill me?"
"Trash, then try it." Seizing the few remaining hours of the drug’s efficacy, Chen Dao Yan acted, his Tribulation Crossing Realm speed was so fast.
To the disciples of the entire sect, such cultivation left them with nothing but awe.
Boom!
The sound was loud, indicating Chen Dao Yan’s strike was successful; based on his calculated power, with those two punches, even mountains would be leveled, let alone a person.
However, an unexpected event occurred.
The presumably dead Tang Feng was unharmed, while the attacking Chen Dao Yan’s hands disappeared entirely.
Shattered into powder by the counterforce.
Chen Dao Yan was truly dumbfounded.
Despite a full power attack, he was unscathed.
"So you are a Body Refinement Practitioner, I’ve been duped. Who would’ve thought all my plots would ultimately cheng quan others." Chen Dao Yan, prideful even then, self-destructed.
This explosion frightened Gao Xinyi and her daughter, causing them to hurriedly cover their eyes.
Escape was not an option.
Tang Feng beckoned to the sky and seized a Nascent Soul.
"Look at the traitor’s fate." Having said that, he simply dissolved Chen Dao Yan’s Nascent Soul.
The shrill sound raised the hairs on the bodies of all the sect’s disciples.
"Why are you all still standing there, salute the new Sect Master," Tang Feng pushed Gao Xinyi to the forefront.
The woman dumbfoundedly sat atop the sect master’s seat, truly remarkable.
She knew all this was afforded by Tang Feng; she wouldn’t be as foolish as Chen Dao Yan, it was time to keep a low profile.
After the salute, she let the sect’s disciples disperse.
Yang Luoxian had been crying, unaffected by her mother becoming the sect master.
"Madam, you should have a good talk with Luoxian," Tang Feng suggested.
"I will."
"I am almost done with my matters here," Tang Feng stated.
Gao Xinyi felt a panic in her heart hearing this, "You, you’re leaving?"
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Yes, I have to leave eventually."
"Then what about me, won’t you take responsibility?"
"You are my woman, this won’t change no matter how many years pass. However, I can’t take you to where I’m going, staying here is better. You still have a daughter to take care of, the sect’s elders will absolutely follow your orders, you needn’t worry about that," Tang Feng reassured.
"I’d rather give up everything and go with you."
"I believe those words. I will return. If I don’t, whenever you are in need, you can turn to the sisters at the Elixir Workshop in Medical Immortal City; she is Yue Si’e, your own family sister, understand?"
"I understand." Gao Xinyi knew that Tang Feng was a man of his word, she only hoped he could stay one more night.
