Capítulo 1071: Chapter 1072: Sect Leader Ceremony
Following the Sect Leader’s arrival, all eyes in the grand hall, including those of the sect leaders, young masters, elders, and legendary martial artists from various sects and schools, turned towards the doors.
“Lin Fei!” As the doors opened, Lin Fei entered the hall with the imposing aura of a king, accompanied by Second Elder Fa Kun and nine other elders. Qing Tiancheng and Gao Qiu exclaid in surprise.
Upon seeing Lin Fei beside him, with long hair cascading like a waterfall, simply tied with a butterfly knot, yet possessing unparalleled beauty, they were even more stunned.
“Qingcheng?” Qing Tiancheng could hardly believe his eyes.
Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, Hundred Thousand Feet, and the Grand Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect also fixed their gaze on Lin Fei.
They showed a look of doubt on their faces. Could this young man be the new Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect?
Was Lingkong Zhenren really brought down by him?
Yet from Lin Fei, they couldn’t sense any formidable strength.
The Grand Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, with sharp eyes like an eagle, stroked his silver beard and gave Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, and Hundred Thousand Feet a aningful glance.
Signaling them not to act rashly and to follow his lead.
Lu Jing and the others nodded slightly.
Lin Fei, accompanied by Qingcheng, headed towards the Golden Dragon Throne at the top of the hall, seemingly oblivious to the surprised exclamations of Gao Qiu and Qing Tiancheng, as well as to the exchanged glances between the Grand Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and Lu Jing.
This filled Gao Qiu and Qing Tiancheng with silent anger.
However, neither of them acted out imdiately. They believed that the Grand Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, the leaders of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and the Hundred Victories Sect would not spare Lin Fei, who had killed Lingkong Zhenren.
They only needed to sit back and watch the drama unfold.
Deeply shocked, they thought mysteriously that the Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect turned out to be Lin Fei.
Lin Fei and Qingcheng took their seats on the Golden Dragon Throne, while Second Elder Fa Kun and the nine elders stood on either side of it.
The sight of Lin Fei sitting alongside the celestial beauty Qingcheng on the throne caused imnse jealousy and anger among the legendary martial artists from various sects and schools.
Qingcheng, as the number one beauty of the Qingxu Sect, was renowned for her beauty across the thirty-six Secret Realms. Many legendary martial artists from various sects and schools held her in high regard, even dreaming of her frequently.
Sitting there were Gao Qiu and other young masters, who also admired Qingcheng and desired to win her affection.
However, whether openly or secretly, all their expressions of affection toward Qingcheng had been rejected.
Now, seeing their idol Qingcheng sitting alongside Lin Fei, their hearts burned with jealousy, and they harbored deep hostility towards Lin Fei.
Suddenly, Lin Fei had beco the enemy of all the young legends from various sects and schools.
Even sects that originally bore no grudge against Lin Fei now felt jealous and hostile upon seeing the intimate relationship between stunning Qingcheng and Lin Fei.
In the grand hall, anger and hostility brewed like a powder keg, ready to ignite everyone’s fury at any mont.
“Today marks the day I, Lin Fei, assu the role of the new Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect. It is an honor to have the sect leaders, young masters, and elders of the ten Secret Realm sects present,” Lin Fei stood up and cupped his fists in salute to the ten sect leaders, young masters, and elders seated on the ten grand chairs in the hall.
However, Qing Tiancheng, Gao Qiu, Lu Jing, and the other sect leaders, young masters and elders remained expressionless, watching Lin Fei without uttering a word.
The atmosphere was extraordinarily tense.
At that mont, an elderly man in a yellow robe stood up from his seat on the first grand chair to the left. He cupped his fists towards Lin Fei on the Golden Dragon Throne and said, “Sect Leader Lin, I am Ku Xuan, the Second Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect. Congratulations on becoming the new Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect, and I wish you and your sect fa and prosperity throughout the lands.”
After speaking, the elderly man in the yellow robe turned to a legendary martial artist beside him and said, “Present the gift our Sect Leader has prepared for the new Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect.”
“Yes, Second Elder.” The martial artist responded. He took out a brocade box from his chest pocket and presented it to Lin Fei, saying, “This is a token of our Sect Leader’s goodwill.”
Lin Fei looked at the elderly man in the yellow robe, graceful and composed, with a dignified presence of a revered figure.
Lin Fei had heard from Qingcheng that the Celestial Dragon Sect is ranked first among the thirty-six Secret Realm sects.
The Celestial Dragon Sect boasts fifty elders and two to three thousand legendary martial artists, making their power more than ten tis stronger than the combined forces of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and the Divine Sword Sect. They are undoubtedly the leaders among the thirty-six Secret Realms.
Due to their overwhelming strength, no other sect poses a challenge to them. Therefore, unlike the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and the Divine Sword Sect, they do not need to ally with other sects to enhance their strength and crush their rivals.
The Celestial Dragon Sect stands independently, ruling over the thirty-six Secret Realms, with their Sect Leader being the undisputed ruler of legends.
Lin Fei accepted the brocade box and turned his gaze to the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect, saying, “Thank you for the gift from the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dragon Sect.”
The Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect smiled at Lin Fei and said, “This is the Celestial Dragon Life-extending Pill. For any martial artist below the fifth level of legendary power, regardless of the severity of injuries, as long as this pill is consud, life can be preserved. I hope it will be useful to you.”
Lin Fei clearly heard the deeper aning in the Third Elder’s words, as he too noticed Qing Tiancheng, Gao Qiu, Lu Jing, and others harboring animosity towards Lin Fei, suspecting that Lin Fei’s ceremony as Sect Leader might not be without bloodshed.
Thus, he hinted that the Celestial Dragon Life-extending Pill would be valuable if Lin Fei found himself mortally wounded during confrontations.
With a smile, Lin Fei replied to the Third Elder, “Thank you for the reminder, but I believe I might never need the Celestial Dragon Life-extending Pill in the future.”
Upon hearing this, an astonished look appeared in the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect’s eyes, understanding well that Lin Fei grasped the aning behind his words.
But Lin Fei’s statent that he might never need the Celestial Dragon Life-extending Pill clearly conveyed his absolute confidence in his abilities.
The Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect, however, remained skeptical: apart from himself and his followers, almost all the other sect leaders, young masters, and elders present harbored evident hostility towards Lin Fei.
Unless his assumptions were wrong, these individuals might soon act against Lin Fei.
Could Lin Fei alone handle so many sect leaders, young masters, and elders?
No matter what, Lin Fei’s comnt and his fearless deanor earned the Third Elder of the Celestial Dragon Sect’s respect.
“Then, Sect Leader Lin, may it be as you say, that the Celestial Dragon Life-extending Pill will never be needed.” With these words, the Third Elder returned to his seat.
At that mont, the white-browed Grand Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, with eyes like an eagle, signaled to Lu Jing, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect seated on a chair opposite.
Lu Jing imdiately understood, got up from his seat, pointed an accusing finger at Lin Fei, and angrily rebuked, “Lin Fei, you killed Lingkong Zhenren and seized the Spiritual Void Sword Sect! As Lingkong Zhenren’s close friend, I will eliminate you, this treacherous villain, and avenge Lingkong Zhenren today!”
