45: It's not fair

Su Changqing didn't idle away the entire night.

He Cultivated the newly acquired Heaven Rank Low Grade Martial Art, "Blood God Slash," to Perfection.

The power of a Heaven Rank Low Grade Martial Art naturally couldn't be compared to a Profound Rank Martial Art.

Of course, this move also consumed a lot of Qi, so it could only be used as a killing move.

Moreover, Su Changqing discovered that this Martial Art had a natural compatibility with his Annihilation Sword Intent.

If used in combination, the power unleashed would definitely be terrifying to the extreme.

Gu Xiran and Chu Xuan both knew about Su Changqing Cultivating a Heaven Rank Martial Art to Perfection in one night.

They seemed to have grown accustomed to being shocked by Su Changqing.

So this time, there was no change in their expressions.

Just a mere Heaven Rank Martial Art, for Su Changqing, it was normal.

The next morning.

"Bang!"

"Bang"

"... ... ..."

"..."

Several consecutive bell chimes rang out, a total of nine, shocking everyone throughout the Tai Xuan Sect.

Because nine bell chimes represented the occurrence of a major event.

It even concerned the Sect's safety.

In an instant, countless Disciples were greatly alarmed.

"My heavens, nine bell chimes, could something major have happened?"

"Hiss, could it be an external enemy invasion?"

"How is that possible? Our Tai Xuan Sect is one of the five Holy Lands, who would dare to invade?"

"Exactly, let's hurry to the Main Peak to see."

"... ... ... ..."

"... ..."

Immediately after, countless streaks of light shot directly towards the Main Peak.

Inside Lingyun Peak, Gu Xiran, Su Changqing, and Chu Xuan naturally also heard the bell chimes.

"Let's go, to the Main Peak."

Gu Xiran spoke indifferently, but a hint of joy appeared in her heart.

Because she knew that today's nine bell chimes were for Su Changqing.

The position of Saint was extremely crucial.

And her Wicked disciple was the only one capable of seizing the Saint position.

"Okay!"

Su Changqing and Chu Xuan followed behind Gu Xiran, one on her left and one on her right.

Not long after, countless Disciples from the entire Sect gathered at the Main Peak, including the eight Peak Revered Masters and a group of Elders.

Among the Peak Revered Masters present, Wang Qingyun was the most bewildered.

After all, she didn't follow Su Changqing when he entered the Forbidden Ground, so she had no idea what happened there.

She looked left and right, and the other Peak Revered Masters all had their eyes fixed on their noses, as if they knew something, but not a single one told her.

Could it be... I've been isolated?

What the hell?

Just then, Mo Ming appeared before everyone.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

In an instant, countless Disciples respectfully bowed.

Mo Ming smiled slightly:

"No need to be polite."

After speaking, he continued:

"The reason I've gathered everyone here this time is actually for one thing: the Saint position!"

The Saint position!?

Upon hearing these four words, everyone present's breathing instantly quickened, and their eyes gleamed with endless joy and excitement.

This was the Saint position, a status second only to the Sect Master.

Among the Disciples present, whether they were True Disciples, Core Disciples, or Inner Sect Disciples, their eyes all sparkled with excitement.

Everyone wanted to obtain this position.

"Who do you think the Saint position will go to?"

"Is that even a question? It must be Senior Brother Li Bufan. As the Sect Master's personal True Disciple, a Peak of the Heavenly Gang Realm Martial Artist, Senior Brother Li's talent is considered top-tier even within the entire Tai Xuan Sect."

"That's right, Senior Brother Li is known as the number one person below the King Realm!"

"... ... ..."

"... ..."

The Saint position of the Tai Xuan Sect has historically been for those below the King Realm with sufficiently high talent.

And Li Bufan, at Peak of the Heavenly Gang Realm, possessing a special Physique, with unparalleled combat power and extremely Heaven-Defying strength, was considered top-tier among the younger generation of Disciples.

At this moment, Li Bufan stood at the forefront of the Disciples, his calm face unable to hide his excitement.

The Saint position!

Besides him, who else in the entire Tai Xuan Sect was qualified?

He was not only the Sect Master's personal True Disciple, with extraordinary talent, but also the Tai Xuan Sect's number one person below the King Realm.

It was clear that this Saint position was tailor-made for him.

Thinking of himself about to obtain the Saint position, Li Bufan could not hide the excitement on his face.

Just then, Mo Ming spoke:

"Su Changqing, a Disciple of our Tai Xuan Sect's Lingyun Peak, possesses a Heaven-Defying talent that surpasses all previous ancestors. Therefore, this Sect, after discussing with all the Peak Revered Masters, has decided to establish Su Changqing as the Tai Xuan Sect Saint today!"

Silence.

A deathly silence!

As soon as Mo Ming's words fell, everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

Su... Su Changqing?

Tai Xuan Sect Saint!?

How could this be possible!

Su Changqing was known to everyone throughout the Sect.

He fought a hundred battles in the Outer Sect Competition and won perfectly, a record that no one could dispute.

But he was, after all, only a Wheel Sea Realm Martial Artist. What qualifications did he have to become the Tai Xuan Sect Saint?

Li Bufan's previously excited face instantly darkened, his expression extremely unsightly, and those True Disciples all showed expressions of discontent.

Why!

Of course, the most stunned among the crowd was Wang Qingyun.

At this moment, her mind was a bit muddled.

Just now... did the Sect Master say he discussed it with all the Peak Revered Masters?

What about me?

I'm a Peak Revered Master too, damn it.

How come I didn't know?

Wang Qingyun finally understood why the other Peak Revered Masters had their eyes fixed on their noses earlier, as if they knew something.

It was indeed like this.

Only she was kept in the dark.

The clown was actually me!?

Before Wang Qingyun could speak, a Disciple spoke first:

"Sect Master, although Junior Brother Su Changqing's talent is extraordinary, he has only joined the Tai Xuan Sect for a few months, and his Cultivation is only at the Wheel Sea Realm. If he were to become the Tai Xuan Sect Saint just like that, I'm afraid it would make the world laugh at us."

The one who spoke was a Core Disciple.

As his words fell, everyone nodded, and the True Disciples also began to speak up.

"Exactly, Sect Master, this is unfair."

"That's right, the Saint position is extremely important, and Su Changqing's strength is not worthy of it."

"That's right, we are not convinced!"

"... ... ... ..."

"... ..."

Everyone's words were intense, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction.

After all, Su Changqing had only joined the Tai Xuan Sect for a few months. Becoming a True Disciple was one thing, but now he was to become the Tai Xuan Sect Saint.

How could this bring psychological balance to everyone?

Mo Ming narrowed his eyes, remaining silent.

At this moment, Li Bufan stepped forward, instantly attracting everyone's attention:

"Revered Master, please reconsider the Saint position. This Disciple is also not convinced!"

Li Bufan's words exploded like a thunderbolt.

He was the strongest in talent and strength among the younger generation, and the most powerful contender for the Saint position.

Therefore, his words carried a certain weight.

However, a vast aura emanated from Mo Ming, and the terrifying Saint Realm pressure instantly made countless Disciples tremble.

"Not convinced?"

Mo Ming's lips curled slightly, and he sneered:

"You all, with your limited vision, simply don't understand what the strongest Prodigy is!"

"Changqing's talent is even superior to mine by three points, and there is no one in the entire Heavenly Martial Continent who can surpass him."
