Chapter 1047: Chapter 1046: Three Trials
“The Jiwei Sect has indeed already taken action, with the Great Elder leading the charge to the Galaxy Empire ahead of us,” said the Great Elder of the Heaven Martial Sect.
“The Nine Nights Immortal King is their business; this matter is not urgent for us,” replied the elder at the head of the table.
“In due ti, we can let a few of our younger disciples go there to gain experience.
With the Galaxy Empire present, whoever goes will only be getting scraps.”
“Who is the Nine Nights Immortal King?” Xu Zii turned to Xia Wanqing and inquired.
“It is said that our Heaven Martial Sect and the Jiwei Sect were both great sects in the past.
Our ancestor, the Heaven Martial Emperor, and their ancestor, the Nine Nights Immortal King, were both remarkable figures,” Xia Wanqing whispered.
“That’s why they are in such a rush because the secret realm is related to the Nine Nights Immortal King.
Moreover, both of our sects have declined now, and everyone is seeking their own ancestors.
Hoping for the return of our ancestors, to rejuvenate our sects.”
“Where did your ancestors go?” Xu Zii asked.
“Who knows? It’s rumored they went to other domains within the Nine Domains and never returned.”
As the two were whispering, the elder at the head of the table called out, “Wanqing.”
Xia Wanqing promptly ca forward.
“Let’s talk about you,” said the elder.
He looked around at all those present, then declared, “As you all know, it’s ti for to step down.
The election of a new Young Sect Leader is an urgent matter.
I’ve said before that if Wanqing resolves her marriage, then we’ll appoint her as the Young Sect Leader.
What do you all think?”
“I have no objections,” the Great Elder said with a smile.
“However, since he is to be Wanqing’s husband, he must be tested to see if he is worthy of her.”
“I agree with the Great Elder,” the Second Elder also stood up.
He said, “How can a diocre person be worthy of Wanqing’s stature.”
The crowd below was abuzz, stirring up waves of discussion.
Instantly, the scene descended into chaos, with everyone voicing their thoughts.
Perhaps even the elder hadn’t anticipated such a strong reaction from everyone.
“Silence, everybody,” the elder tapped the armrest of his chair, coughing a few tis.
The crowd imdiately quieted down.
“Wanqing, what do you think?” the elder inquired.
“Thank you, all elders, for your generous love and concern,” Xia Wanqing looked around and said with a light smile.
“A test is certainly necessary, but since he is to be my husband for the rest of my life.
Naturally, my opinion is the most important, right?”
“That’s not proper,” the Great Elder shook his head.
“If you were just an ordinary disciple, we wouldn’t interfere with your marriage.
But since you are to beco the Young Sect Leader, even for the sake of our Heaven Martial Sect, we cannot make such a decision lightly.”
“Indeed, ever since our ancestor the Heaven Martial Emperor established the sect here, the ancestor is still in this world.
We need to properly manage the entire sect,” the Seventh Elder also stood up and said.
“What if the ancestor returns from his wanderings one day, and if the sect no longer exists, what would his sentints be?”
“How do you propose to test him?” the elder at the head asked.
“Of course, through a contest. We will set out three challenges, and if he passes them, then we will recognize his status,” stated the Great Elder firmly.
It was clear that these individuals had already planned this out beforehand.
“I disagree,” Xia Wanqing said.
“First, let’s hear what these three challenges are,” requested the elder at the head.
“The first challenge is beast taming. We have a group of Monster Beasts kept in the back mountains of our Heaven Martial Sect.
Let him compete with Mo Du. Within a quarter of an hour, whoever tas more beasts is the winner,” said the Great Elder.
“That’s not fair. Mo Du lives in the Beast Taming Hall year-round; it’s easier for him compared to my husband,” Xia Wanqing quickly argued.
“If he can’t even beat Mo Du, how can he qualify to be the husband of the young leader of our Heaven Martial Sect?” the Great Elder said indifferently.
Not giving Xia Wanqing a chance to refute.
He continued, “The second challenge is combat. He will fight a match against Li Xiaoyuan, and we decide the result with one round.
As for the topic of the third challenge, let him choose it himself, to avoid claims that we’re bullying him.
Of the three challenges, if he wins two, he will be considered the winner. That’s fair, isn’t it?”
“Fair?” Xia Wanqing let out a cold sneer.
Li Xiaoyuan is the number one of the younger generation in the Heaven Martial Sect, ranked in the top one hundred on the Galaxy Empire’s list of heroes.
Not to ntion Xu Zii, there’s no one in the younger generation of the entire Heaven Martial Sect that could compete with him.
“Grandfather, look at them, they are deliberately oppressing ,” Xia Wanqing said, turning to the elder at the head.
Everyone else’s gaze followed, turning to the elder.
They knew that the final decision rested in the elder’s hands.
“The first challenge is acceptable, but as for the second challenge, replace Li Xiaoyuan with Zhuo Bufan,” stated the elder calmly.
He looked toward Xu Zii and asked, “What do you choose for the third challenge?
It’s your decision.”
“Why bother with two out of three? Let’s not choose the third challenge,” Xu Zii said with a laugh.
“If I lose the first two, there would be no point in continuing the competition.”
“At least you know your limitations,” soone sneered condescendingly.
“Then get ready and set a ti for the contest,” the elder commanded.
“Let’s do it this afternoon,” replied Xu Zii.
“Great Elder, take care of the arrangents for this,” the elder waved his hand.
He then announced, “If there’s nothing else, we are dismissed.”
Xia Wanqing wanted to say more, but looking at the situation, she left in anger.
…
After everyone had dispersed, a few of the elders from the Heaven Martial Sect gathered together.
“Great Elder’s foresight is truly profound; this has left the girl with no way out,” the Second Elder laughed.
“Once we defeat her, we can smoothly position Xiaoyuan as the Young Sect Leader.”
“The Sect Master is getting on in years; it’s ti for him to step down,” the Great Elder said, looking out at the horizon.
“Is the boy’s background checked thoroughly?”
“Not yet, he seems to have appeared out of nowhere,” replied the Seventh Elder, shaking his head.
“But in such a short ti, Xia Wanqing won’t be able to find any assistance.
Moreover, judging by her expression just now, she seems to lack confidence.”
“That boy dares to muddy the waters; I’ll see that he doesn’t get past the first challenge,” said the Great Elder indifferently.
“When the ti cos, I’ll use so tricks and incite the Monster Beasts during taming.
If an accident happens and he dies under the claws of the Monster Beasts, it will solve everything.”
Everyone exchanged smiles.
…
“Why are you so angry?” on the way back, Xu Zii looked at Xia Wanqing and said.
“We’re at the point of crisis, and you don’t care about anything,” Xia Wanqing responded.
“What now?
I thought grandfather would take my side, but I didn’t expect him to agree.”
“Your grandfather has his own considerations,” said Xu Zii with a smile.
“What else can we do? Face whatever cos our way.”
Saying so, he yawned, “I’m feeling a bit sleepy now. I should take a nap.”
“You want to drive mad,” said Xia Wanqing, looking at Xu Zii.
“Why? Are you that eager to marry ?” Xu Zii said with a laugh.
Returning to their courtyard.
