Time went back to seven days ago, and Chen Yuan was still waiting for Wang Zizai's reply.

He didn't let him wait long, and it felt like only a few minutes had passed, and Chen Yuan received the news from the telegram.

An ancient ruin has been discovered, and those changes are actually preparing for the expedition?

At first glance, this reason seems to make sense.

But Chen Yuan still instinctively felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "Senior Brother Chen, Elder Xin is invited." ”

Elder Xin was the one in charge of organizing the succession ceremony this time, and Chen Yuan knew that he must have some arrangements for the ceremony, and he needed to discuss it with him.

Chen Yuan didn't have time to think about it anymore, sighed, and returned: "Got it, I'll come now." ”

Two days later, the succession ceremony of the seventh sect master of Ying Tianzong was announced.

Chen Yuan appeared in a black gown, as the saying goes, the Buddha relies on gold clothes and people rely on clothes, and this dress with gold dark edges and embroidery decorations makes Chen Yuan look extraordinarily calm and noble.

Xu Buyi accompanied Chen Yuan all the way from the backstage, and quietly and secretly fell behind by half a step, making Chen Yuan the only focus in the field.

There were nearly 10,000 people who participated in the ceremony this time, in addition to the original people and horses on Lian Tianfeng, there were also assessment disciples from various assignments and the head elders who led the team.

In addition, there are a large number of viewing groups from other sects.

Fortunately, the ceremony was held in the open air, and the square was large enough that it didn't feel crowded even if it could accommodate so many people.

Chen Yuan and Xu Buyi gradually walked into the middle of the venue along the gilded road, and along the way, the visitors from other major sects all saluted Chen Yuan, expressing their respect for the Heavenly Sect Master.

Among the guests of the other sects, there were almost no who were younger than Chen Yuan, and there were also many people who were higher than Chen Yuan's cultivation.

But at this moment, they all bent down, bowed their heads, saluted, and saluted, just the words "Yingtian Sect Master" were enough to make them ignore Chen Yuan's age and immaturity.

Except for the two first-class sects, all of these sects are second- and third-rate small and medium-sized sects, and even many of them are dependent on Ying Tianzong, and these people dare not and cannot ignore the majesty of Ying Tianzong's holy land.

Chen Yuan knew that at this time, they respected their own identity, but one day, Chen Yuan would make them respect himself!

Countless congratulatory voices that were either reserved or flattering came from the crowd on both sides, and Chen Yuan responded politely with a smile, which was also another benefit of not inviting the two sects of Ten Thousand Swords and the God of Medicine.

At least no one would dare to pestle here without giving face to this sect.

Walking over to the guest area, there were Ying Tianzong's own horses on both sides in front of him, so the cheers became more enthusiastic.

Among them, the twenty-seven assignments are the most, the group of people who are the masters of the Ling Dao Zun Wen Pavilion have all watched Chen Yuan go from a miscellaneous servant step by step to today, and seeing Chen Yuan is like looking at their own sons and nephews, Chen Yuan can have today's achievements, and they are also honored.

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, the largest number of people belonged to the young disciples who came to participate in the main sect assessment this time, and the twenty-eight distributions added up to several thousand.

Before they came to Lian Tianfeng, they didn't expect that they would come to participate in the assessment and encounter such a grand event as the sect master taking over.

Although most of them neither knew nor were they familiar with Chen Yuan, it did not prevent everyone from identifying with him, especially when they learned that this new sect master was still a disciple who was the same as them nine years ago, this sense of identity became even stronger.

Age was originally Chen Yuan's disadvantage - he was too young, and being young meant that he was not stable enough and not experienced enough, which was originally what Elder Ying Tian had been faintly worried about.

However, at this time, Chen Yuan's disadvantage had become an advantage, if he changed a middle-aged monk who was a few hundred years old to be the successor sect master, it would never be possible to make these young disciples feel close so easily.

People have a herd mentality, and as the cheers and congratulations spread to the audience, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and the people who watched the ceremony gradually became excited—though perhaps they themselves did not know what they were excited about.

Under the influence of this collective fanaticism, even if he didn't know Chen Yuan before, at this moment, he would feel that maybe Chen Yuan was really the most suitable successor for Ying Tianzong.

It has been a whole hour since praying to heaven and earth, worshipping all the predecessors and teachers, and a series of processes have passed.

In this process, Chen Yuan always wore a smile and a good demeanor, and there was no mistake in his words and deeds.

This made many people in the Outer Sect who had despised him because of Chen Yuan's age before put away their slackness, and it was not in vain that Chen Yuan had worked hard to rehearse repeatedly these days.

At the end of the ceremony, Chen Yuan needed to make a speech in front of many guests, mainly to explain his main thoughts after taking charge of the sect in the future.

This is also a process that many guests are most concerned about, they want to know the future direction of this behemoth of Ying Tianzong, and whether it will affect the development and even survival of their own sect.

They will also form a preliminary impression of the new sect master of Ying Tianzong based on the content of Chen Yuan's speech, and use this as a reference to decide on the strategy of facing Ying Tianzong in the future.

However, they were destined to be disappointed, and Chen Yuan had no intention of telling his true thoughts in this public occasion at all.

In fact, Chen Yuan prepared two versions of the speech, one was said when he only had his own people in private, and that was Chen Yuan's true thoughts.

This declaration is mainly about, in Chen Yuan's view, what is a real famous and decent family, and what kind of famous and decent person Ying Tianzong wants to become, all of which are naked Ying Tianzong's domineering thoughts of the supremacy of interests and strength.

Obviously, such a speech is not suitable for public speaking, otherwise, it will definitely scare the children of other sects.

Therefore, Chen Yuan also specially prepared another speech for today's occasion, which basically means that the Ying Tianzong Association will adhere to the "Six Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" and "non-interference in the internal affairs of the sect" in the days to come.

In short, as a Holy Land Sect, Ying Tianzong will definitely work hard to maintain the peace of the Xiuzhen Realm in the future, and contribute its due strength to everyone's common development.

After reassuring the guests, the ceremony finally came to the last item, and Xu Buyi would hand over the suzerain order symbolizing the power of the suzerain to Chen Yuan in public.

From then on, he will abdicate as the Supreme Elder of Ying Tianzong, and Chen Yuan will become the seventh sect master of the Holy Land Sect, attracting the attention of the world.

However, at this moment, a messenger disciple rushed in front of Chen Yuan and them with a panicked expression on his face.

"Sect Master, something is wrong!"
