456: Since she's already making excuses, we can only go along with her!

"Gave me a fright! That was way too dangerous just now!"

"I almost turned tail and ran!"

"Yeah, is this the true strength of the Saint and True Person Liuguang?"

"It turns out the Saint hadn't even used his full strength when he was fighting those Elders earlier!"

"They actually shattered the Arena space directly!"

"I can only describe it with one word: too strong!"

"Isn't that two words?"

"Doesn't matter. What matters is that I absolutely worship the Saint!"

...Many Disciples discussed the scene just now with lingering fear.

A portion of the Disciples only stopped themselves from fleeing and returned to their previous positions once they saw the Arena space stabilize.

"Who do you think will win?"

"I don't know!"

"I heard True Person Liuguang can defeat Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators with a casual wave of her hand."

"And now the Saint's strength has also reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm."

"But True Person Liuguang is the Saint's Revered Master, after all."

"So it's not certain who will win!"

"True, we'll know if we keep watching!"

The Disciples stared intently at the situation inside the spatial Arena.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see clearly at all.

They only saw the light of laws produced by the explosion of countless sword glows, a mix of crimson and multicolored light.

At this moment, not only the Disciples but even the Elders were curious. They looked toward True Person Taixuan, who had the highest cultivation Realm present:

"Holy Revered Master, how is the situation inside?"

"Yes, I'm afraid only your Divine Sense, Holy Revered Master, would be unaffected by the aftershocks of these powers of Laws."

"Let me see... they are at a standstill, evenly matched."

"Moreover, both sides are completely unharmed."

True Person Taixuan said after investigating with his Divine Sense for a moment.

"What?"

"Both of them are unharmed?"

"After such a violent explosion, they weren't affected?"

"This Revered Master and Disciple pair are way too strong!"

Many Elders widened their eyes in shock.

Even if they were in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, they would have suffered significant injuries within that space where Sword Dao Law power was exploding.

Yet Su Yun and Meng Shuyan were perfectly fine?

This was too hard to believe!

Could True Person Taixuan have seen it wrong?

While the Elders were letting their imaginations run wild, the aftershocks of the Power of Law within the Arena space dissipated.

Two figures were revealed.

One was a handsome young man dressed in white.

The other was an exquisite Fairy in a white dress.

It was indeed Su Yun and Meng Shuyan.

At this moment, both were completely unscathed, as if the aftershocks from the explosion of the two sword glows hadn't affected them at all.

"Yun'er, your Revered Master acknowledges you!"

"To be able to fight to a draw after I suppressed my cultivation Realm..."

"You are very impressive~"

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes blinked, her tone gentle.

Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, the spirit sword in her grasp transformed back into the Power of Law and vanished.

"Revered Master, are you sure you suppressed your cultivation to the same Realm as mine just now?"

Hearing this, Su Yun's lips twitched.

He had noticed that the power of the sword glow Meng Shuyan released at the beginning was inferior to his own.

But later, it suddenly intensified.

She must have secretly loosened her suppression!

If not for his powerful Divine Sense, he wouldn't have noticed at all.

"Ahem, I'm sure~"

"Really? How did I sense..."

"Really! Your Revered Master wouldn't lie to you!"

"You must have sensed it wrong~"

"Yun'er, go back and practice your sword arts well. One day, you will surpass your Revered Master!"

A flash of awkwardness crossed Meng Shuyan's pretty face, but she quickly looked at Su Yun with a beaming smile again.

He actually noticed?

She had clearly done it very discreetly!

Yun'er's Divine Sense is way too strong!

No wonder he could easily discover the backlash power within her body a few months ago.

But so what if he found out?

As long as she didn't admit it, she didn't secretly increase her strength!

Thinking of this, the corners of Meng Shuyan's mouth curled up slightly, a hint of craftiness flashing in her eyes.

"Fine, whatever makes you happy, Revered Master."

Su Yun waved his hand helplessly. Since Meng Shuyan was quibbling, he could only go along with her!

After all, who told him to be such a filial Disciple~

As long as she was happy!

"Yun'er, oh... wait... I should call you Holy Revered Master from now on."

"Greetings, Holy Revered Master~"

Meng Shuyan's mood became very good, and she spoke playfully.

"Revered Master, don't say that. Even if I become the Taixuan Holy Master, aren't I still your Disciple?"

Su Yun said hurriedly.

Meng Shuyan's tone when calling him 'Holy Revered Master' was too strange.

It was better to be normal.

"It was just a joke~"

Meng Shuyan's red lips moved as she spoke again.

"I knew you were joking, Revered Master."

Su Yun glanced at Meng Shuyan speechlessly.

Was teasing him really that fun?

What kind of wicked sense of humor did his Revered Master have?

"Alright, let's head out!"

"Yun'er~"

"Once you take over the position of Taixuan Holy Master, remember to assign my work to other Elders."

"Day in and day out, it's just too busy!"

"I need to have a good rest~"

Meng Shuyan said in a lazy tone.

"Revered Master, are you serious?"

Su Yun was shocked by those words.

He usually never saw Meng Shuyan doing any work.

She spent every day lying in bed resting.

This was busy?

"The other Elders will probably have a huge problem with that!"

"If they have a problem, just have a private talk with those Elders~"

"If words don't clear things up, use your strength to talk."

Meng Shuyan said casually.

"Winning people over with virtue, right?"

Su Yun suddenly understood why those Elders were so afraid of Meng Shuyan before.

They were probably often 'convinced by her virtue' and beaten into submission, so they would take a detour whenever they saw her.

Anyone who didn't know Meng Shuyan would never imagine she was so fierce!

"Exactly!"

"Revered Master, you're incredible..."

...While talking, Su Yun and Meng Shuyan turned into streaks of light, leaving the Arena space and returning to the outside world.

"Under the witness of all the Elders and Disciples."

"Our Saint Su Yun has already obtained the recognition of the Seven Great Peaks!"

"In other words, Su Yun will officially succeed to the position of Taixuan Holy Master!"

True Person Taixuan flew into the air and said in a loud voice.

"I now officially announce the start of the Holy Revered Master Succession Ceremony!"

"Please follow me to the Taixuan Ancestral Shrine to witness the succession ceremony!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Disciples immediately began to boil with excitement.

"Taixuan Ancestral Shrine?"

"What kind of place is that?"

"You don't even know that?"

"Let me put it simply!"

"The Taixuan Ancestral Shrine is where our Holy Land enshrines the statues of the Grandmaster Taixuan and the past Holy Revered Masters and Elders."

"It's usually not open. It's said that every Holy Revered Master holds their inauguration ceremony at the Taixuan Ancestral Shrine when they take office."

"I've been in the Taixuan Holy Land for so long, and I haven't been to the Taixuan Ancestral Shrine yet!"

"I wonder what it's like?"

"We'll know when we get there!"

Under the lead of the Taixuan Deacons, the Disciples rushed toward the Fourth Layer of the Taixuan Realm... Soon, everyone arrived at the Fourth Layer of the Taixuan Realm.

The scenery in the Fourth Layer of the Taixuan Realm was even better than the third layer.

rosy light blossomed in the sky, and the nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was like a dense spiritual mist, with the light of laws flashing through it from time to time.

Lofty mountain ranges were everywhere, piercing into the clouds with majestic grandeur.

The Taixuan Ancestral Shrine was located in the deepest part of these mountains, within a massive valley.

Just by approaching the valley where the Taixuan Ancestral Shrine was located, everyone felt an ancient and distant aura being released from within the valley.

A moment later, everyone finally arrived outside the Taixuan Ancestral Shrine.
