Yun Tiankong's willingness to be the "Holy Son of the Square Canon Sword Sect" is indeed the greatest joy!
The cultivators of the "Square Canon Sword Sect" were all excited and overjoyed!
Earlier, Yun Tiankong had deeply conquered everyone with a series of stunning performances, especially the "ordinary disciples" of the "Square Canon Sword Sect," who regarded Yun Tiankong as an idol to worship.
They couldn't be happier that Yun Tiankong became the "Holy Son of the Square Canon Sword Sect"!
Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, a cold voice sounded.
"Sect Master, isn't it too early to announce the Holy Son candidate now!"
Damn it!
Someone actually ruined the mood at this moment. He's asking for a beating!
Everyone glared angrily at the speaker.
However, upon seeing the appearance of the person speaking, everyone's expressions became strange, as if they had eaten a fly and felt disgusted.
The speaker was a shriveled old man, not tall, with a gloomy face all day, and an aura that kept people at a distance.
The old man, though not tall, had an astonishingly high seniority.
His name was "Daoist Buzun," and he belonged to the "Zun" generation within the "Square Canon Sword Sect." Strictly speaking, the current Sect Master Zhenren, "Master Zhizhang," had to call the old man "Uncle-Master Buzun."
Daoist Buzun's seniority was two full generations higher than Master Zhizhang.
This old man, relying on his high seniority, had always been arrogant and acted with impunity within the "Square Canon Sword Sect."
Furthermore, he was greedy and self-serving. To fight for benefits, he often suppressed and bullied the younger disciples.
The younger disciples of the "Square Canon Sword Sect" secretly referred to Daoist Buzun as "Old Undying."
Master Zhizhang also found Daoist Buzun very troublesome.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he had to force a smile, saying obsequiously.
"Uncle-Master, Tiankong not only defeated all the quasi-Holy Sons but also successfully broke one of my moves. According to the agreement, he is qualified to be the Holy Son of the Square Canon Sword Sect!"
Daoist Buzun snorted coldly, his triangular eyes rolled, and he said impatiently.
"Sect Master, I'm not trying to criticize you, but at your age, can't you act with more prudence?"
Damn it!
Master Zhizhang's forehead veins bulged.
This old undying fellow really thought too highly of himself!
He was merely giving him some face, and he was already acting up…
Daoist Buzun's words showed no regard for Master Zhizhang, making Master Zhizhang feel like exploding.
However, Master Zhizhang was not an impulsive person after all. He silently recited the "Heart Calming Mantra": The world is so beautiful, why am I so irritable? Calm down, calm down…
Master Zhizhang finally managed to stabilize his emotions when he heard Daoist Buzun say.
"This Grand Ceremony of the Three Immortals' Departure has a new rule: the victorious quasi-Holy Son can challenge across sects! If the quasi-Holy Sons of Penglai Sword Sect and Yingzhou Sword Sect come to challenge and defeat Yun Tiankong, then Yun Tiankong will not be qualified to be the Holy Son of the Square Canon Sword Sect!"
This…
Master Zhizhang frowned.
He had not forgotten this "new rule."
However, Master Zhizhang had never taken this "new rule" to heart.
The reason for adding this "new rule" in the first place was heavily pushed by the "Yingzhou Sword Sect."
In Master Zhizhang's opinion, this was the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" trying to deal with the "Penglai Sword Sect."
As everyone knows, the "Grand Ceremony of Departure" of the "Penglai Sword Sect" was a huge charade.
All the other "quasi-Holy Sons of the Penglai Sword Sect" were merely foils for "Holy Son Kongxu."
Those "quasi-Holy Sons of the Penglai Sword Sect" knew very well in their hearts that they could not become the "Holy Son of the Penglai Sword Sect."
The "Holy Son of the Penglai Sword Sect" belonged only to "Holy Son Kongxu."
Speaking of "Holy Son Kongxu," hehe…
Useless!
The pinnacle of fops!
That guy was proficient in everything from drinking and gambling to womanizing, but when it came to his "cultivation," hehe, it was a tragic sight!
Therefore, the "rule of inter-sect challenges" was tailor-made for "Holy Son Kongxu." m..oΓg
As for why the "Penglai Sword Sect" agreed to such a thing, there were three reasons.
First, "Sword Immortal Yuhua" was full of confidence. He did not believe that the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" would actually dare to send someone to challenge "Holy Son Kongxu."
If the "Yingzhou Sword Sect" did so, it would be tearing down the facade with the "Penglai Sword Sect."
The relationship between the two sects was far from reaching the point of openly falling out.
Second, didn't "Sword Immortal Yuhua" invite a super powerful "guest elder" for "Holy Son Kongxu"?
That person's cultivation had reached the peak of the "Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm," only a single step away from the "Spirit Transformation realm."
It might not be an exaggeration to say he was invincible below the "Spirit Transformation realm"!
With this "guest elder" present, "Holy Son Kongxu" would not fear any challenge.
Unfortunately, "Sword Immortal Yuhua" had made excellent arrangements, but "Holy Son Kongxu" did not appreciate it. He rejected that super powerful "guest elder" and chose Ling Weifeng.
However, the combat power displayed by Ling Weifeng did not disappoint. He not only defeated a group of "quasi-Holy Sons" but even used three acquired spiritual treasures, the "Qingyuan Immortal Swords," to contend with Yu without being at a disadvantage.
With Ling Weifeng providing protection, "Holy Son Kongxu" did not have to worry too much about challenges from the "Yingzhou Sword Sect."
Third, even if someone completed the "inter-sect challenge" and successfully defeated "Holy Son Kongxu," he might not necessarily be able to replace "Holy Son Kongxu" and become the "Holy Son of the Penglai Sword Sect."
The primary condition for replacing "Holy Son Kongxu" and becoming the "Holy Son of the Penglai Sword Sect" was to gain the recognition of the "Quasi-Saintess of Penglai."
The "Quasi-Saintess of Penglai" was the adopted daughter of "Sword Immortal Yuhua," his own person, and she would definitely not help outsiders.
Given these three reasons, "Sword Immortal Yuhua" agreed to add the new rule of "inter-sect challenges."
These matters actually had nothing to do with the "Square Canon Sword Sect."
It was all a struggle between the "Penglai Sword Sect" and the "Yingzhou Sword Sect."
This fire would not spread to the "Square Canon Sword Sect" no matter what.
With this thought, Master Zhizhang chuckled and said to Daoist Buzun.
"Uncle-Master, the new rule of inter-sect challenges actually has no impact on our Square Canon Sword Sect. Hehe… why not announce Tiankong's victory in advance."
Before he finished speaking, Daoist Buzun's old face stretched out, his triangular eyes shot out a cold light, and he said sternly.
"Rules are rules, and they cannot be broken! Besides, how do you know no one will come to challenge? I think the quasi-Holy Son Neon of the Yingzhou Sword Sect has great potential. What if he comes to challenge!"
This old undying fellow is looking for trouble!
Master Zhizhang finally understood. The old undying Daoist Buzun must have taken benefits from "Quasi-Holy Son Neon" and was speaking on his behalf.
