94: Rong Yuanliang’s decision!

The people below were caught off guard by the news!

They all lowered their heads, their eyes flickering wildly.

It was impossible for the Elders to have no thoughts about the Sect Master position, especially the Void Refining Late Stage Elder other than the Grand Elder.

In his heart, he always believed that the next Sect Master would only be chosen between himself and the Grand Elder.

But now, Rong Yuanliang had suddenly appeared.

He was somewhat unable to accept it for a time!

So he did not make any statements, using silence to express his opposition.

Duan Cang saw that everyone present was hesitant and unwilling to speak, their gazes somewhat evasive.

So he glanced at Rong Yuanliang, giving him a look.

Rong Yuanliang immediately understood and silently summoned the Mahayana Puppet.

The Puppet stood quietly behind Rong Yuanliang, not emitting any Qi, just staring silently at everyone present.

Everyone immediately felt a chill spread from their hearts.

They had clearly seen it when this Puppet, by itself, had completely destroyed all the high-level Cultivators of the other two forces!

That scene was truly horrific; those people didn't even leave behind complete corpses, each one was directly blasted into pieces!

"The position of Sect Master should be held by the capable. Elder Rong is upright in character, astonishingly talented, and profoundly cultivated. He is naturally the perfect candidate for the Sect Master position!"

Fifth Elder was the first to speak, bowing his hands towards Duan Cang.

"Yes, yes, yes, Elder Rong has accomplished an extraordinary feat this time. It is only right that he becomes the Sect Master!"

Then two Elders immediately clasped their fists towards Rong Yuanliang:

"Greetings to the new Sect Master of Heaven Sword Sect!"

Seeing that someone had spoken, the others also broke their silence, following the example of the two Elders and saying to Rong Yuanliang:

"Greetings to the new Sect Master of Heaven Sword Sect!"

Including the Second Elder, even with all the resentment in his heart, he could only conform to the general trend at this moment.

There was no other way; after all, others had a Mahayana Puppet. Wasn't that like walking sideways in the Northern Wilderness?

He was simply no match for it.

He sighed in his heart, "Alas, this is truly unexpected..."

Duan Cang saw this situation and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, Sect Master Rong, I can now rest assured and focus wholeheartedly on my secluded cultivation."

Rong Yuanliang immediately responded:

"Old Sect Master, please rest assured, I, Rong, will certainly exert myself to the utmost until my dying day!"

"Good, good, good. I naturally trust your character. I, this old man, shall take my leave first."

With that, Duan Cang left to go into secluded cultivation.

The handover of the Sect Master position was completed just like that. As for announcing it to the entire Sect and holding a celebration, that would be some time later.

After all, it was not appropriate at this moment, having just finished the funeral rites.

Rong Yuanliang slowly walked forward and sat in the Sect Master's seat.

His heart was incredibly excited at this moment. He had never thought that one day he would actually be able to sit in this position!

Truly, things are unpredictable, and everything must start from the day he met Lu Hao.

Rong Yuanliang was filled with emotion.

He had become the Sect Master of Heaven Sword Sect!

From now on, in this Northern Wilderness, he would be second only to one person, and above tens of thousands!

That one person was, of course, Lu Hao.

Rong Yuanliang knew very well that befriending Lu Hao was absolutely the most correct decision he had ever made in his life!

Lu Hao was definitely a person who hid himself very deeply.

To casually produce a Mahayana Puppet? Could he be an ordinary Cultivator?

It could be said that his current success was all thanks to him!

He needed to find an opportunity to repay him.

Rong Yuanliang thought for a moment, looked around the main hall, and slowly said to everyone:

"Regarding our Sect's great victory over Chenyin Pavilion and Fengluo Valley this time, the greatest contributor is actually not me, but someone else!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was somewhat confused. Someone else? Who? They hadn't seen anyone else come.

Before anyone could ask, Rong Yuanliang continued:

"This person is from Qingxuan Sect, Lu Hao! This wooden carving was his gift to me as a meeting present!"

As soon as Rong Yuanliang said this, the main hall instantly erupted.

"What? Qingxuan Sect? How is that possible?! That tiny Qingxuan Sect is just a dilapidated Sect in Nansu City. How could it have something like this?"

"Lu Hao? Never heard of him. Would anyone give away a Mahayana Puppet as a gift? Sect Master, this old man absolutely cannot believe this."

"Sect Master, are you perhaps overly grieved and experiencing hallucinations? You mean, in that forgotten corner, there's a person who casually gave you a Mahayana Puppet as a meeting gift? This is something even a three-year-old wouldn't believe!"

Rong Yuanliang saw their reactions and was not surprised; all of this was within his expectations.

When he first learned that this item was actually a Mahayana Puppet, he also couldn't believe it.

His inner astonishment was no less than theirs.

"Everyone, quiet please, and listen to me!"

"I am willing to stake everything I have to guarantee that this item was indeed given to me by Lu Hao! I have no need to joke with everyone about such a matter."

"Therefore, my statement that Lu Hao is the greatest contributor this time is not inappropriate."

"So, I have decided to divide the spoils of war this time into two. Our Heaven Sword Sect will take one share, and we will personally deliver the other share to Qingxuan Sect."

"This will also demonstrate the sincerity of our Heaven Sword Sect."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's opposition grew even more intense, and various opposing voices spread wildly for a time.

"Sect Master, please reconsider! This is a time when Heaven Sword Sect needs to develop, and ordinary resources are a massive amount!"

"Yes, Sect Master, I disagree with this approach. What do you all think?"

"I disagree."

"I also disagree."

The Grand Elder, however, sat calmly to the side, watching the Elders in the hall.

It seemed they were still treating Sect Master Rong as the former Elder Rong; they hadn't changed their mindset.

Rong Yuanliang listened to the dissenting voices from below, and his expression gradually darkened.

He was getting a little angry. This was clearly not putting him, the newly appointed Sect Master, in their eyes.

His eyes grew cold, and the Puppet behind him directly emanated Mahayana pressure!

A terrifying aura suddenly permeated the entire main hall, and everyone inside clearly felt uncomfortable.

In an instant, the entire hall was silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

The faces of the most vehemently opposing Elders were flushed, clearly because the Puppet had intensified the pressure on them.

"Everyone, could it be that you do not submit to me, having just taken office?"

"N-no..."

The people below stammered their replies.

"When the Old Sect Master was here, did you oppose him like this too? Hmm?? Do you perhaps think I am easy to bully?!"

Cold sweat appeared on everyone's foreheads. Hearing Rong Yuanliang's words, they quickly lowered their heads and replied:

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare. What Sect Master says is right."

"If you wouldn't dare, then stop with the nonsense. My decision is final! In the future, you will naturally know how correct my, Rong's, decision is!"

"Meeting adjourned!!!"
