Chapter 2015 - 2015 Double Kill (1/2)
2015 Double Kill
Back at the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, he had to slowly rise through the ranks, starting fro on to the core disciples, then the elders, and finally the sect leader Despitethe conventional path with his swordsiven the position of a ‘potential successor’ instead of the ‘sect leader’ position…
On the other hand, he had only arrived at the Myriad Beasts Hall for two hours so far, but before he couldon here, he was already offered the position as the next hall master…
Was this some kind of new prank that cultivators played on one another in the Forsaken Continent?
This was one of the Six Sects they were talking about here! They were selecting a sect leader over here, not cabbages for dinner!
Or could it be that this Hall Master Qin actually had soic history with the sect, so the other party wanted to destroy this wretched place of ?
Otherwise, he could only conclude that this bunch of people were fools who could trust even an outsider to lead them!
If not for the fact that he had seen how ht that he ht have stepped into the headquarters of acompany!
“Indeed,” Hall Master Qin nodded earnestly as he looked at Zhang Xuan with intense eyes
After ’ in person, he was certain that there was no one more suited to becoe as the Myriad Beasts Hall was bound to already have all of its administrative processes down, so there was no need for the leader to be too involved in the day-to-day administration of the sect There were elders ere specially assigned to handle those matters When it came to major issues, there was the Elder Council whose priic decisions
To put it bluntly, the position of the sect leader was si ether as one and instill fear and deterrence in the ene if a capable man were to become the sect leader, but otherwise, the sect would be able to function properly even without if the sect leader wasn’t present
Given so, so Yang would be the ideal candidate If he could pass down his knowledge, the overall fighting prowess of the sect could be brought to greater heights
On the other hand, seeing the earnest look on Sect Leader Qin’s face, Zhang Xuan realized that he wasn’t being pranked over here There was no value in pranking hi an answer, choosing to ponder carefully over thea response, “There are pressing matters which I have to attend to I’ll have to head to the Sea of Exiled Stars very soon, so I fear that I won’t be able to renorant about the ement of a sect…”
He had taken on many leadershi+p positions in the past, such as the principle of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Acade Clan, but he had never involved himself in its ade those matters for him Thus, his efforts had always been directed toward his cultivation
To be honest, he wasn’t sure if he could really handle the troubles that ca the sect leader
In response to that, Hall Master Qin replied, “In truth, I don’t know too ement of a sect either The position of a hall master is mostly symbolistic Your very presence will reassure the disciples in tiht bravely without defeat At the sa power on a negotiation table As for the miscellaneous affairs, you need not worry too much about it The elders are there to deal with theree a positive response, Hall Master Qin pressed on, “Besides, if you are intending on heading to the Sea of Exiled Stars, you would have even more need for the identity as the leader of our Myriad Beasts Hall”
Those words left Zhang Xuan tilting his head in confusion
“The Sea of Exiled Stars is where the Starchaser Palace is located at It consists of innu on each of these islands are the indigenous population of the Forsaken Continent They are an extreroup of people, and they tend to act hostile toward outsiders There have been quite a few cases where those islanders have lynched visitors to death, and there are even High Immortals who have fallen victim to that as well,” Hall Master Qin explained
“If you were to take on the identity of the leader of the Myriad Beasts Hall, your words would carry ht At the very least, no one would dare to et things done as well”
Naturally, there was no one ould be foolish enough to offend the leader of the Myriad Beasts Hall That would be as good as waging war on it
Zhang Xuan nodded in agree the Sea of Exiled Stars on his way over, and it was exactly the sa at the moenous population practiced the art of slaughter, so their teood
If he were to enter as a nobody, it would be hard for hi their libraries and uncovering clues regarding Luo Ruoxin there
“If you become the hall master, you’ll be able to mobilize our infor it easier for you to gather infor Xuan
“This…” Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up “Since that’s the case, I guess I don’t reallyon the position then!”
It would indeed be difficult for hiate the information he required by himself However, if he were to become the leader of the Myriad Beasts Hall, he would be able to tap into its vast intelligence network, thus ather information
As the Myriad Beasts Hall had a monopoly in the business of transportation on the Forsaken Continent, its hout the entire continent There were many disciples just like the old man who had ferried him over to the Ascendant Cloud Mountain spread all over the continent
Given so, Zhang Xuan could ience netould be far more developed than that of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion
“That is wonderful news I’ll uration ceremony will be held a month from now!” Hall Master Qin nodded
“AXuan shook his head “I can’t afford to wait that long There’s no need to hold an inauguration ceremony either It’s not convenient for me to show myself presently either!”
“It isn’t convenient for you to show yourself?” Hall Master Qin frowned
They were an orthodox organization, not so undercover to destroy the continent or so Surely there was no need to be so secretive about this!
“My cultivation is only at Heavenly True Immortal realh I my secret art, I fear that my cultivation is still too weak at the ht catch the attention of the Hall of Gods if I were to stand out tooXuan paused for a enius who comprehended the Gods’ Sword Intent at the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion had recently faced an assassination attempt from the Hall of Gods”
It was better for hie with him at the moment
If the Hall of Gods were to dispatch nuh Ierous position
“The Hall of Gods?” Hall Master Qin narrowed his eyes coldly “I have indeed heard of that matter from Han Jianqiu…”
Their infor more active in recent years, and the news he had just received from Han Jianqiu affirmed his worries This was also the reason why he orried that Zheng Yang ht be a spy from the Hall of Gods
He had crossed bloith Han Jianqiu for rasp of the latter’s teht that it eird for the latter to step down all of a sudden and noabout the matter did he learn from Han Jianqiu that the Hall of Gods had attempted to assassinate the disciple who had comprehended the Gods’ Sword Intent The latter had only passed down the position of the sect leader to that disciple in hopes of protecting him
To be honest, he hadn’t expected the lofty Hall of Gods to lower their pride just to nip a potential threat in the bud… If an exceptionally talented individual were to ee from the Myriad Beasts Hall, would the same situation occur as well?
Hall Master Qin pondered deeply over these issues before finally giving his response, “I think that your worries make perfect sense Since that’s the case, I’ll put aside the inauguration cere and simply make an official announce the position of the hall master down to you I’ll introduce you as an ascetic core elder of our sect who has devoted all of his time to cultivation Due to that, your cultivation has reached Heavenly High Immortal realm, and you wield capabilities beyond that of other core elders in our sect That would help to justify how you were able to tame the four immortal beasts easily”
