Chapter 3509: Young Sect Master
Chapter 3509: Young Sect Master
“To think that the people from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder also know fear. Haha, seven great elders came together. They were so mighty at the beginning and so haughty, yet didn’t they still end up leaving miserably?”
“Even an ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder treats senior brother Jian Chen with such caution. Senior brother Jian Chen is fantastic. Senior brother Jian Chen is the greatest in our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”
“Long live senior brother Jian Chen! As long as our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens has senior brother Jian Chen around, we’ll never have to fear the other organisations again.”
The people from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder were gone, but the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens celebrated. The disciples all chanted Jian Chen’s name. They were very emotional.
At first, he had demonstrated his abilities in the ring, killing five Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder consecutively. Now, he used the Immortal-destroying Thunder to repel several experts from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. Before they knew it, Jian Chen had already become the most brilliant existence in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Basically everyone throughout the entire sect knew about him.
In particular, the two things that Jian Chen did recently made all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens feel very proud and fulfilled.
They had been oppressed for far, far too long. In the past, it had always been the surroundings organisations that oppressed them. Something like today’s events had never occurred, where they left a group of experts from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder so frightened.
“Good, Jian Chen. You’ve done great for the sect this time. Without you, even if our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was fortunate enough to win the matches, we would have never been able to earn a century of additional time.” The sect master Chen Shuzhi arrived by Jian Chen’s side. His words were filled with praises. Afterwards, he scanned past the disciples in the distance and said loudly, “Since Jian Chen has rendered such a meritorious service for the sect, how can we not reward him? As a result, I have decided to hold a reward ceremony on the main peak in three days’ time. I will personally confer Jian Chen the title of young sect master!”
“In three days’ time, all the disciples above Golden Immortal must gather on the main peak!”
Chen Shuzhi’s words immediately silenced the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even Nong Fugui was surprised. Clearly, he was also deeply shocked by the sect master’s sudden decision.
“Sect master, Jian Chen has only joined the sect recently. Elevating him to young sect master so quickly might be a little inappropriate,” Nong Fugui communicated to Chen Shuzhi.
“Elder Nong, who else apart from Jian Chen do you think is qualified enough to become the young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens? There is no better choice than Jian Chen,” Chen Shuzhi replied. He was determined.
In the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the young sect master was the successor of the current sect master, the person who would become the next sect master. They all required extremely severe training and various tests, followed by recognition from great elders or even ancestors of the sect in the end. Only then could someone be selected as the young sect master.
However, ever since the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens declined, the position of young sect master had always remained empty.
But now, the sect no longer had any great elders, much less ancestors, so the sect master could truly decide on everything with his authority.
But shortly afterwards, a series of cheers erupted in the silent Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. No one had any objections to Jian Chen becoming the young sect master. Even all of the core disciples agreed on this.
In terms of strength, they were nowhere near as strong as Jian Chen. In terms of background, they were nowhere near as great as Jian Chen either. Coupled with Jian Chen’s performances these two times and his contributions to the sect, everyone was content with him becoming the young sect master.
A strange light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes as he sank into his thoughts. He did not have any objections towards becoming the young sect master.
Very soon, the three days had passed. This day was when Jian Chen would be conferred the title of young sect master.
All of the disciples above Golden Immortal gathered on the main peak in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. There were over six hundred people in total.
Chen Shuzhi and elder Nong were both present. They stood side by side on a platform at the front of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens.
After everyone arrived, the Xuan Immortal disciple serving as the master of ceremonies said loudly, “Please come up, core disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Jian Chen!”
Under the enthusiastic cheering of the disciples, Jian Chen slowly made his way up the platform. After a series of complicated formalities, he obtained a special uniform that represented the young sect master from Chen Shuzhi and the corresponding identity tablet.
“Now, I formally announce that from this moment onwards, Jian Chen is the young sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens!” Chen Shuzhi stood on the platform as his dignified and loud voice boomed through the sky, reaching the entire sect.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens knew that a young sect master had been born in the sect!
The entire sect cheered!
“Greetings, young sect master!”
All of the disciples gathered on the main peak, including the core disciples, bent over and bowed deeply towards Jian Chen. Their booming voices reached the heavens.
From that moment onwards, Jian Chen’s status in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could be said to be only second to the sect master and elder’s. He stood above all of the core disciples.
“Senior brother Jian Chen, you’re already the young sect master now. As your junior brothers and sisters, we all hope that senior brother can lead us all on a path towards strength.” A Xuan Immortal disciple cupped his fist in the crowd.
Jian Chen looked towards the Xuan Immortal and smiled slightly. He recognised this person. His name was Zhan Yunfei, one of the few disciples among the hundred or so Xuan Immortals that had caught his attention.
“It’s just as this junior brother has said. I’m certain our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will be able to truly stand up in the future and become stronger and stronger,” Jian Chen replied with his fist cupped.
“It’s just as the young sect master has said. We even frightened away the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. What power can still stop the rise of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”
“Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will definitely become more and more powerful and more and more wealthy. I’m sure that before long, we won’t have to worry about cultivation resources all day long.”
“The young sect master has Immortal-destroying Thunders. If anyone tries to oppress us anymore, the young sect master will directly toss out an Immortal-destroying Thunder and blast them to pieces.”
Cheers rang out from the main peak again and again. Some of the disciples that were only Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals were filled with anticipation. Only some of the core disciples who knew a little more secrets did not respond.
Perhaps because he heard the disciples discuss the Immortal-destroying Thunder in the crowd, Zhan Yunfei’s expression changed slightly. He cupped his fist. “Young sect master, I have an unreasonable request. I was wondering if the young sect master could leave the Immortal-destroying Thunder with the sect as a treasure that protects the sect?”
Jian Chen looked towards Zhan Yunfei again and said nothing.
All of the core disciples nearby looked over when they heard Zhan Yunfei’s words. Their expressions all varied.
Zhan Yunfei cupped his fist politely and said, “Now, not only does our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens face the threats of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, but there are also the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset constantly eyeing us in the surroundings. They might take a sudden bite out of us at any moment. The four organisations will find out sooner or later that the young sect master has an Immortal-destroying Thunder as well. Given how crafty and cunning they are, perhaps they won’t try anything openly, but you can’t stop them from pulling any schemings secretly. Once they mobilise Immortal Monarchs or even Immortal Emperor ancestors to steal the young sect master’s Immortal-destroying Thunder, it’ll probably be very difficult to stop them.”
“That is why I mustered the courage and made this suggestion. I hope the young sect master can leave the Immortal-destroying Thunder with the sect, leaving it with the sect master and elder Nong, just to be absolutely safe.”
