Chapter 528 - Chapter 528 Selection Contest (2/2)

The leading elderly Heavenly Master, with a youthful appearance despite his white hair, excitedly came down from his seat.

“Are you the one chosen by Heavenly Master Long Tian?”

Chen Yu immediately performed a ritual salute of the Daoist sect, “I pay my respects to the Sect Leader!”

“There’s no need for such formalities!” The old Heavenly Master said with a smile as he patted Chen Yu’s shoulder, “You really are young. With you here, our Daoist way will prosper for at least another hundred years!”

Chen Yu was taken aback, failing to understand what the old Heavenly Master meant. He released his system but was unable to scan the other’s brain information.

“I am slow-witted, please enlighten me, Sect Leader!”

The old Heavenly Master waved his hand.

“You are of equal status to me, there’s no need for this. I am merely acting as the helmsman of the Taoist sect!”

Before Chen Yu could react, the old Heavenly Master took out a small, crystal-clear jade bead from his person and handed it over.

“Since you’re the one chosen by Heavenly Master Long Tian, you are the Taoist helmsman from now on!”

Chen Yu’s eyes widened in shock; he had no desire to become the Taoist helmsman. He didn’t even want to be the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect and planned to find someone upright and hardworking to succeed him in a few years!

“Elder Heavenly Master, you’re really putting me on the spot here! Moreover, there are so many Sect Leaders gathered here for the Sacred Mountain Convention, it’s not my turn by any means.”

The old Heavenly Master suddenly became very solemn.

“Indeed, this matter requires careful consideration. Let’s have a symbolic competition then, although the result is already predetermined.”

Chen Yu’s mouth fell open in amazement; it seemed the old Heavenly Master was determined to make him the Taoist helmsman. Discover exclusive content at Novgo

“If it’s predetermined, wouldn’t that be unfair to the others? Please reconsider, Elder Heavenly Master.”

The old Heavenly Master let out a hearty laugh and took out a map from his person.

“In fact, the selection for the Taoist helmsman has always been fixed. Whoever can destroy the Divine Eagle Sect can become the helmsman without any selection process!”

Chen Yu opened the map and glanced at it. It seemed to be just a small sect located on the fringes of the southern border.

Within the Taoist community, there were many who could eliminate such a sect.

“Then, please ask the Elder Heavenly Master to release this task so that there can be fair competition.”

The old Heavenly Master was taken aback and gave Chen Yu a strange look.

“Are you sure you want me to release the task, with no regrets?”

Chen Yu nodded repeatedly, “In any case, we must still compete fairly!”

The surrounding Daoists also looked at him with extremely odd expressions, but they said nothing, instead simultaneously taking out their phones as if they were sending messages.

It wasn’t long before the grand hall on the mountain became lively.

Heads of various sects who were attending the convention gathered here.

The Elder Heavenly Master excitedly pulled Chen Yu’s arm and walked out.

“Presumably, all of you have received the news. You are all aware of the content of this year’s helmsman selection. Now, I only ask you this, does anyone wish to participate?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the many Sect Leaders at the scene knelt down one after another.

“We are willing to forgo the competition!”

Chen Yu stood on the podium, dumbstruck; he had not expected such an outcome at all.
