79: Chapter 79: He seized the position of Holy Son, but his scheme was exposed?!

Nan Feng gave a light cough, scanned the entire audience, and smiled: "True Disciple Li has been defeated. Are there any other True Disciples who wish to challenge?"

Upon hearing this, the world fell into dead silence, and there was no response.

Even Li Huayin, who had the strongest cultivation, was easily defeated by Lin Ran; the other seven True Disciples were clearly no match for Lin Ran.

Rather than going up to throw their lives away, it was better to graciously admit their own shortcomings.

"This one is Zheng Chenggong, True Disciple of Life and Death Peak. Greetings, Saint!"

Zheng Chenggong took the lead, being the first to cup his hands and bow to Lin Ran.

"This one is Mo Yan, True Disciple of Five Elements Peak. Greetings, Saint!"

"This one is a True Disciple of Darkness Peak..."

"This one is..."

One after another, the True Disciples scrambled to bow to Lin Ran.

Following that, countless Disciples, Elders, and even Vice Peak Masters and Peak Revered Masters also cupped their hands and bowed to Lin Ran.

Even Su Xiyue, who was Lin Ran's good Revered Master, was no exception.

"Revered Master..."

Lin Ran stood up, wanting to step forward to support Su Xiyue, but he was secretly stopped by a look from her.

After all, he was now the legitimate Saint, whom everyone was convinced by. His status and position were far higher than the Peak Revered Masters, and on par with the Sect Master.

It was very common for Peak Revered Masters to bow to the Saint or Saintess.

"Everyone, rise."

Lin Ran sat back down on the Saint's seat and said.

"Thank you, Saint!"

The crowd's voices were like a great bell, shaking the Nine Heavens.

"Lin Ran, from this day forward, you are the Saint of this generation for our Feixian Sect, and the representative of our Feixian Sect's younger generation."

"I hope you will not let down our expectations of you."

Nan Feng placed his hand gently on Lin Ran's shoulder and said with a warm, earnest smile.

Lin Ran looked out, scanning face after face, some familiar and some strange, and discovered that there was no jealousy on their faces regarding him becoming the Saint; instead, there was heartfelt admiration and worship.

He instantly understood that the reason the Feixian Sect could stand tall in the Zhangming Emperor Realm for countless epochs without falling lay right here.

The Feixian Sect and its Nine Great Peaks might occasionally have friction and conflict between them, but this was a normal phenomenon.

After all, wherever there are living beings, there is bound to be conflict.

However, once an external force attacks, the Nine Great Peaks will inevitably band together, united against the enemy with one heart and one mind!

Although the Feixian Sect inevitably had people like Xu Sheng, Xu Kun, and Xu Yu, the forest is big, and there will always be all kinds of birds.

Moreover, whether it was Xu Sheng, Xu Kun, or Xu Yu, their goal from beginning to end was only to target him, not to harm the entire Feixian Sect.

Therefore, generally speaking, there is a reason and a root cause for the Feixian Sect's impregnable nature.

He admitted that he had started to become somewhat attached to this place.

"Becoming a Saint in one day, recognized by the masses; one day, slaying an Emperor, known to the world!"

"Though the golden scale meets the wind and clouds, there are also waves that wash away the heroes!"

"I, Lin Ran, shall be the peak that the waves cannot reach, standing alone in the clouds, laughing as I watch the world's heroes cross the thousand-foot surging river!"

Lin Ran stood up, hands behind his back, filled with heroic spirit and imposing air, fully displaying the youthful arrogance and high spirits!

Countless female Disciples were infatuated and intoxicated.

Watching Lin Ran recite poetry, they felt as if they had drunk ten thousand jars of fine wine, their faces flushed red and their gazes hazy.

This was their Saint, possessing Heaven-Defying looks, peerless Aptitude, world-shaking strength, and talent that ordinary people could not match.

Lin Ran's strengths completely exceeded their imagination; they absolutely loved him to death!!!

"Lord Saint!!!"

"We are willing to follow Lord Saint to the death!!"

"Lord Saint, are you free tonight? Could you 'discuss the sword' with this Junior Sister?"

Watching the scene gradually spin out of control into madness, Nan Feng hurriedly said: "Today's True Disciple Grand Competition ends here. Disperse!"

After saying this, he was the first to flee the scene.

"Disciple, let's go."

Su Xiyue grabbed Lin Ran's hand and slowly left the place.

As they were leaving, Lin Ran could clearly feel two resentful gazes landing on him.

One was from Li Huayin, and the other was from Yan Ruyu.

"He defeated my Disciple without even using the Destiny Immortal Body? Interesting..."

Xia Lingshuang narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Lin Ran's retreating figure.

After returning to the residence, Su Xiyue closed the door with a backhand, then threw herself into Lin Ran's arms, greedily inhaling the scent on him.

Lin Ran's lips curled into a smile, and he gently stroked the top of her head.

After a long while, Su Xiyue spoke in a muffled voice, her tone melancholic:

"Rebellious Disciple, I didn't expect... you are now the Saint of the Feixian Sect."

"Your status and position in the Sect are now higher than mine..."

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged Su Xiyue tightly and said:

"No matter what my status and position are, Revered Master is still Revered Master. In my heart, you will always be the most important!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyue smiled.

"Full of lies. Your mouth is only good for deceiving me, yet I have been deceived by you for so long."

"You clearly promised me before that you wouldn't find good sisters for me, but you didn't keep your word."

Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously: "Revered Master, you... know everything?"

Su Xiyue's expression instantly turned cold. She gently pushed him away and said coldly:

"I didn't know, but even if I guessed, I could figure it out. Is your relationship with Sister Yan the same as your relationship with me?"

Lin Ran was uncharacteristically silent for a moment before silently nodding: "Revered Master, I'm sorry."

Su Xiyue laughed, but the smile was very sorrowful and beautiful:

"Heh, I knew it. You were born with a mouth that only knows how to speak flowery words, yet I was so foolish that I was willing to believe you."

"But now, I... really dare not believe you anymore."

Laughing and laughing, Su Xiyue started to cry, weeping like pear blossoms in the rain, looking pitiful.

"Rebellious Disciple, go. Go to Destiny Peak, go to Sister Yan's place, and let me be alone for a while."

Su Xiyue covered her face with one hand and waved Lin Ran away with the other, her heart filled with extreme pain.

Lin Ran was very anxious now. After all, his Revered Master was crying because he had hurt her heart, and she looked very difficult to coax.

What should he do in this situation?

Waiting online, very urgent!

"Revered Master."

Lin Ran pulled Su Xiyue into his arms and did not choose to leave.

He was not stupid; he naturally knew that this was the time he absolutely could not leave.

If he really went to Destiny Peak to find Yan Ruyu, he feared that when he returned, he would be greeted by a depressed Revered Master.

If the situation got even worse, Su Xiyue might even blacken and turn into a yandere!

"Get out! Get out of here!!!"

"You are a liar, I don't want to see you right now!!!"

Who would have thought that his embrace not only failed to have any effect, but instead made Su Xiyue cry even louder, struggle even more violently, and pound his chest wildly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ran secretly steeled himself and lowered his head to kiss Su Xiyue's red lips directly.

Whether he lived or died today would depend entirely on his looks, his max-level charm, and his Innate Pure Yang that had reached the third turn!
