Chapter 1003: Strength overrides
Even Zhan Chen himself hurriedly said: "Old-Sect Master, my strength and prestige are not enough to serve the people, how can I be worthy of the position of Sect Master?"
Huang Nianci looked at the vast majority of the people present who were shocked by what they had just said, but there was only one person who was not among them, that is, Ye Tianrong, who was sitting next to him, and suddenly understood a little bit in his heart, and said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I made this decision out of helplessness, because recently I feel that the Demon Suppression Tower has been moving frequently recently, maybe because I feel that my strength is weakening, so I want to calm down and concentrate on arranging heavy seals on the Extreme Sky Island to assist me in suppressing this tower." β
It was no secret that Huang Nianci's strength was weak, so he boldly said it.
"Sect Master, is there any inevitable connection between the suppression of the Demon Suppression Tower and your abdication?"
"Of course, after being in charge of suppressing the Demon Suppression Tower, I have no power to deal with the sect affairs at all. β
"Then you can split up a clone to handle the affairs of the sect!" the other immediately responded.
"Okay - in short, you don't need to say much, let's tell you the truth, the reason why I am willing to retreat into the background is because I found Zhan Chen, and I saw the glory of our Humane Sect in him, so I made an exception to accept him as an apprentice and guide him to cultivate, although his cultivation is not high now, but after all, he has also reached the middle level of the Law Body, you can try to take over as the sect master, and I will support and guide me in the back, I believe there will be no problem." β
At this time, Ye Tianrong couldn't help laughing, and said unceremoniously: "Sect Master, your explanation is too far-fetched, how can you convince everyone? Besides, it's not what I said, since you became the Sect Master, there has been almost no concern about the affairs of the sect, all of us here are in charge of it for you, and the most important thing for everyone is to believe in your strength and prestige, but now you want a yellow-haired boy to press on my head, how can we convince you!"
"Yes, we resolutely refuse to accept it!" Wu Di, the head of the Wu family, also shouted loudly, his character is like a cannon battle, and it will explode at one point.
Hearing the louder and louder discussions below, Huang Nianci's face became more and more gloomy, and suddenly, a fierce momentum emanated from his body, suppressing everyone present.
Even Ye Tianrong, who is similar to him, has to resist with all his might, in order to barely resist this momentum, although he and Huang Nianci are both strong people of the Great Perfection of Ten Thousand Laws, but in fact, the gap in strength between the strong and the strong in this realm is still very large, for example, like Huang Nianci, his strength is more than three times that of him, and the strength of the Heavenly Dao Ancestor is ten times more than that of him.
Seeing that everyone present blushed and tried their best to resist their coercion, Huang Nianci said again: "I'm really old and useless, in the past, I could crush you to the ground with my momentum alone, so you dare not know my orders, right?"
"Sect Master, we don't dare!" said the people below.
Only then did Huang Nianci loosen his coerci, and then asked: "Is there anyone who opposes my opinion now?"
There was silence below, and Huang Nianci said again: "Then I have decided now, Zhan Chen will take over the position of sect master from now on, and I also want to tell you an important decision, I will entrust the Demon Suppression Tower to Zhan Chen." β
"What?!
Huang Nianci said again: "Don't be in a hurry to object, listen to me explain to you first, the Demon Suppression Tower is the treasure of our Humane Sect, and the person who inherits it is the rightful sect masterββ"
"But Zhan Chen's cultivation can't control this treasure at all, and when the demons come out, with their resentment against our Humane Sect and the terrifying power that erupts, it will not be enough for the Humane Sect to be destroyed a hundred times. β
"That's why I said that I would set up a formation on the Extreme Sky Island to suppress the Demon Suppression Tower, so that even if I am no longer on the Extreme Sky Island, and the Demon Suppression Tower suddenly riots, I can suppress it for a while with the large array arranged. β
"Sect Master, listen to what you mean, it seems that you seem to want to leave the Extreme Sky Island?" Ye Tianrong asked while thinking.
"It's not that I'm leaving, but I already have a premonition that there is an evil spirit in the West, I'm afraid that there will be a demon sect attacking our Humane Sect next, and this time the sense of crisis seems to be imminent and very strong, which means that the offender is not an idle person, and I will not have time to estimate the Demon Suppression Tower at that time. β
"I see. Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious, everyone knew that Huang Nianci's prediction and sensing ability was a masterpiece, only Ye Xingqi's star divination technique could do it, so the prediction he said had the ability to make people absolutely believe.
"That being the case, sect master, we have to prepare for it in advance. β
"Yes, in the next period of time, if all of you here have time to come to the Extreme Sky Island to assist me in arranging together, and solve the worries of the Demon Suppression Tower as soon as possible, I will be able to free up my hands to join hands with you to deal with the enemy from the West. β
After a pause, Huang Nianci said again: "So why am I so eager to support Zhan Chen as my successor, if I have any mistakes on the battlefield, please do your best to support Zhan Chen, I believe that my prediction is correct, and everyone must believe me." β
"What could be missing?" The people present were once again confused by his inexplicable words, the powerhouse of the Ten Thousand Law Realm fused with the Heavenly Dao, it was extremely difficult to be killed, not to mention that a strong person like Huang Nianci was almost immortal and indestructible, unless the longevity was exhausted, so most people only took his words as a joke, and they couldn't understand why Huang Nianci made such a big determination today and spent so much effort to persuade everyone to support Zhan Chen as the successor sect master.
At this time, among the people present, only Zhan Chen and Ye Tianrong could understand a little bit of the truth, but even so, the two still couldn't quite understand Huang Nianci's decision.
"That's all for today's meeting, everyone can go back - Zhan Chen, you stay for a while. β
Zhan Chen listened to his words and stayed, and when everyone walked out of the meeting hall, Huang Nianci said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, I'm really sorry, I announced my decision without your consent today, you won't blame the teacher." β
Zhan Chen was silent for a long time before he said, "This is too sudden, I wasn't prepared." β
"Hehe, because I guess if I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have accepted it. β
Zhan Chen nodded, he knew his catties.
"But Zhan Chen, do you know, I'm afraid that something will happen to me at any time, so I can't wait any longer, especially in the Extreme Sky Island to set up a spirit array to suppress the Demon Suppression Tower, and it is necessary to mobilize the strength of the entire sect, so I have to convene today's meeting, because if I don't order like this today, then if I really don't go one day, then this sect master's position will definitely fall into the hands of others, and the most likely is Ye Tianrong. So I'm going to go first and say it now, just so that the other families can hinder him. β
"But I'm not strong enough, and it's dangerous for me to accept such a position. Zhan Chen said bluntly.
"I know that there will definitely be forces to attack you, so I have placed a ban on you, as long as you are in danger, I can sense it, so that I can rush to rescue you as soon as possible, not to mention now, as long as it is not a strong person in the Ten Thousand Law Realm, I'm afraid no one can kill you." Huang Nianci smiled.
"Master, I'm relieved when you say that. Zhan Chen nodded.
"Okay, when the spirit array is arranged, I will transfer the control of the Demon Suppression Tower to you as soon as possible, so that even the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Law Realm of the Ten Great Families will not make a move against you. β
"Why?"
"Because they know how powerful it is, once the owner of the Demon Suppression Tower dies, the function of the Demon Suppression Tower will also stop, and all the Demon Cultivators imprisoned in it will run out, and at that time, it will be a great disaster. β
"I see. Zhan Chen suddenly realized.
"You can go back and rest, remember, stay in the Xu family during this time, try not to go out, understand?"
"Got it. Zhan Chen replied as he stood up and left the hall.
After that, he returned to Xujiadao, Xu Jing looked extremely happy when he saw him, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Hahaha, virtuous son-in-law, you are really good! To be so favored by the sect master, that old guy hinted at me before, but I didn't know the meaning of what he said at the time, and now it seems that I am afraid that he decided to choose you as his successor." β
Zhan Chen smiled reluctantly and said, "Even so, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this position." β
"Don't be afraid, with me Xu Jing supporting you, you can do it as well as this sect master. Xu Jing patted his chest and said.
Although he had received promises from Huang Nianci and Xu Jing successively, Zhan Chen always felt uneasy in his heart, because he faintly felt that a storm that he couldn't avoid was slowly approaching him.
