Chapter 392: 11
However, deciding the Sect Leader is up to the senior members of the Hundred Peaks Sect. When did it become the place for these young disciples to speak?
Chen Qingluan originally didn't intend to speak, but suddenly, Wang Yijian turned his attention to her disciple. A look of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on her face. She stepped forward and pointed at Liao Youdi, saying, "This is a disciple of Azure Pheasant Peak, so what?"
"Azure Pheasant Peak?" Wang Yijian's eyes showed surprise. This was a disciple of Azure Pheasant Peak, not of Four Treasures Peak?
Before he could react, Chen Qingluan pointed to the first person who spoke, Shen Lid, and said, "As for him, he is a disciple of your Flying Immortal Peak."
Wang Yijian was momentarily stunned. He had just been dissatisfied because he thought both of these disciples were both from Four Treasures Peak, full of Cao Zhen's disciples. But as it turns out, neither were disciples of Four Treasures Peak, and the one who spoke first was even a disciple of their Flying Immortal Peak.
A disciple of Flying Immortal Peak, he...
Wang Yijian looked at the unfamiliar male disciple before him. Although the other party was not fully unleashing his power, he was not intentionally hiding his aura either. He could sense that this disciple's aura was extremely strong, definitely the aura of someone at the Peak of the Indestructible Period!
Moreover, this disciple was so young, a genius, an extraordinary genius!
The more Wang Yijian looked at this disciple, the more joyous he became. He even walked directly to the disciple's side and asked, "You are a disciple of our Flying Immortal Peak? Who is your master?"
"Master." At this point, Nie Jie finally had the chance to speak and interjected, "Junior Brother Shen Lid was taken in by us as a disciple, and we believe we don't have the capability to teach him."
"Oh? Taken in by the master?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yijian's smile grew even broader, "No matter. Now that I'm awake, I can properly guide him.
However, Nie Jie, although you've advanced to the Longevity Period, you've been surpassed by many junior brothers, which means you're falling behind."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen immediately spoke apologetically, "Nie Jie has been serving as the Vice Sect Leader and Vice Sect Hierarch. Previously, Nie Jie was handling all sorts of sect affairs for our Hundred Peaks Sect, delaying his cultivation."
"Oh? So that's how it is." Wang Yijian nodded slightly. Such an interruption made it difficult to bring up Cao Zhen and Bai Fengzi's standings as Sect Leader any further. However, when he looked at the Hundred Peaks Sect, a hint of embarrassment was evident in his gaze. After all, it was the disciples of their Flying Immortal Peak who had just spoken up in support of Cao Zhen.
Bai Fengzi had already turned to the Supreme Elder and said, "Elder, you say..."
The Supreme Elder gently stroked his beard and slowly said, "Sect Master Cao, let the position of Sect Leader continue to be held by you. From what I see, our disciples hold you in high regard.
As for Qiu Yixue, she can serve as the Vice Sect Leader."
Qiu Yixue is the name of Bai Fengzi. Every leader of Hundred Peaks Sect is called Bai Fengzi. Now that Qiu Yixue is no longer the Sect Leader, the Hundred Peaks Sect is no longer a sect, but a Great Teaching, and therefore, it's natural not to use the name Bai Fengzi anymore.
Upon hearing this, Nie Jie's face immediately showed a hint of joy. Finally, someone would take over as the Vice Sect Leader, and he could finally be relieved of the burden.
Just as the smile emerged on his face, Qiu Yixue shook her head and said, "Supreme Elder, disciple, I don't want to be the Vice Sect Leader anymore. Being an elder is sufficient for me."
"No need." The Supreme Elder shook his head, "I know you have good talent. Actually, appointing you as the Sect Leader before was kind of a waste of your talent.
But didn't Sect Leader Cao just say? When he was Sect Leader, the Vice Sect Leader handled the affairs.
And there can be two Vice Sect Leaders. Just focus on your cultivation, and we'll find another for the Vice Sect Leader position."
Listening to the Supreme Elder, Nie Jie suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
Before he could think of how to speak, the voice of the Supreme Elder had already sounded, "Nie Jie, since you were always the Vice Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks Sect, you will continue in this role."
"Supreme Elder, this isn't appropriate." Nie Jie hurriedly said, "Disciple is still young. Being an interim Vice Sect Leader is fine, but for the Vice Sect Leader position, disciple worries about not performing well. Disciple..."
The Supreme Elder interrupted directly, "You've been the Vice Sect Leader for many years, you have the experience, how could you perform badly? Ultimately, the future belongs to you young ones, so it's decided.
Alright, everyone can disperse. Continue as you were before, do not mind the waking of us few old fellows.
However, I'm not familiar with the changes in Hundred Peaks Sect over the years. Could you send a few young people to inform us?"
"The Supreme Elder is right." Wang Yijian's gaze immediately fell upon his disciple, Nie Jie, and he said, "Nie Jie, you come and explain to us."
As soon as his words dropped, the Supreme Elder's rebuke sounded in the air, "Wang Yijian, although Nie Jie is your disciple, he is also the Vice Sect Leader of our Hundred Peaks Sect. Mind your attitude and tone."
Wang Yijian: ...
Cao Zhen quickly returned to Four Treasures Peak and immediately took out a Formation Map he had crafted, channeling his celestial energy into it.
Instantly, he quickly entered a profound state.
He felt his entire being lifting from the void, floating above the Hundred Peaks Sect, floating above the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and vaguely, it seemed he had returned to Earth.
