1466 The Sinner’s Disciple Can Also Be a Hero
Zhan Wuya had always admired Ye Qingyang and thought that he had a strong mental fortitude.
However, when Zhan Wuya became the target of suspicion by his fellow disciples, he realized how impressive it was for Ye Qingyang to maintain his original intention all these years.
It was very easy not to get proud and complacent because of other people’s praise. However, it was very difficult not to hit rock bottom because of other people’s slander and maintain one’s original intention.
Zhan Wuya clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Then, he stood up while supporting himself against the chair.
Seeing him stand up, everyone’s gazes changed slightly, and they all had different thoughts.
“Seniors.”
Zhan Wuya’s gaze swept across the people around the table a few times. In the end, he looked at the table and said in a low voice, “Everyone, Senior Zhan Jiuxiao had been controlled by the demonic cultivator Ye Qingchen for a thousand years. Strictly speaking, my mentor wasn’t Senior Zhan Jiuxiao, but Ye Qingchen.” Although he was unwilling to admit it, this was the truth.
Seeing Zhan Wuya openly mention this relationship, everyone looked at him with pity.
Zhan Wuya continued, “Cultivating the demonic path isn’t a crime in itself, but Ye Qingchen has done many evil things and is a vicious person. He is a despicable demonic cultivator. The iron rule of the War God Clan is never to associate with demons. All my abilities were taught by Ye Qingchen. As a disciple of a demonic cultivator, I think that I’m no longer suitable to be the successor.”
After a pause, Zhan Wuya said in a clear voice, “The successor of the War God Clan should be an outstanding clansman who is unafraid of death or demons and has always placed the life of the clansmen of the War God Clan at the highest priority.” At this point, Zhan Wuya’s eyes darted around slightly before his gaze landed on Zhan Yingrong.
Noticing Zhan Wuya’s gaze, Zhan Yingrong narrowed her eyes and sat up straight.
The other Prime Master experts also looked at Zhan Wuya in surprise.
Could it be…
“I’ve already heard about Senior Sister Zhan Yingrong leading the various disciples of the elite battle team to risk her life to resist Ye Qingchen. I think that Senior Sister Zhan Yingrong’s cultivation talent, personal strength, and character make her worthy of the position of the successor of the War God Clan. Therefore, I’m willing to resign from the position of the successor. I’m willing to support Senior Sister Zhan Yingrong as the new leader of the War God Clan and assist her in rebuilding the War God Clan!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
As a genius whose cultivation talent and strength were second only to Zhan Wuya’s, Zhan Yingrong also had ambitions for the position of the successor of the Divine Clan. However, in the screening test for the successor three years ago, Zhan Yingrong lost to Zhan Wuya.
Back then, when the War God Clan confirmed Zhan Wuya as the successor, although Zhan Yingrong was disappointed, she also acknowledged and supported this outcome.
Zhan Yingrong was born in the War God Clan and grew up in the War God Clan. The bloodline of the Divine Tiger Divine Master flowed in her body. From a young age, she had been told to place the interests of the War God Clan above all else. Therefore, when the War God Clan was facing the calamity of extermination, it was her duty to fight Ye Qingchen to the end.
This was her responsibility as a disciple of the War God Clan, a clansman of the War God Clan, and a Prime Master cultivator.
When she heard Zhan Wuya propose to recommend her as the new Patriarch of the War God Clan, a rare look of excitement appeared on Zhan Yingrong’s beautiful face. She and Zhan Wuya looked at each other for a moment. Then, she stood up.
Zhan Yingrong looked at Zhan Wuya as she said to him, “Junior Brother Wuya, I admire your strength and character. I also admit that you are slightly better than me in all aspects. However, as Ye Qingchen’s disciple, you are no longer suitable to become the Patriarch of the War God Clan and lead the War God Clan to restore its glory.”
“In the entire War God Clan, other than you, my cultivation level and talent are the strongest. I personally think that among the 37 Prime Master Beast Tamers, I am indeed the most suitable candidate to be the new Patriarch.”
Zhan Yingrong naturally knew that the others were unconvinced.
She smiled calmly and glanced at the experts with her beautiful eyes as she said bluntly, “I know you’re unconvinced, but we’re all disciples of the elders. Everyone should know how those elders died in this Demon Slaying Battle, right?”
“No matter how outstanding Ye Qingchen’s disciple is, he isn’t suitable to become the new Patriarch. Among the 22 elders, other than my mentor, the First Elder, and the youngest, Elder Zhan Hai, who were killed by Ye Qingchen because they refused to associate with a demon, what about the other elders?”
“Our Mentor is our business card when we’re outside. If our mentor is a hero, we are the disciples of heroes. Naturally, we can obtain the respect of others. But if our mentor is a fence-sitter who is afraid of death, what kind of people are his disciples?”
At this point, Zhan Yingrong smiled and said decisively, “In terms of cultivation, talent, and cultivation level, I’m slightly stronger than you guys. This is an undeniable fact! In terms of reputation, as the First Elder’s disciple, I naturally have a more positive image than you guys.”
After a pause, Zhan Yingrong looked at a Prime Master sitting at the end of the table and said, “Of course, as the disciple of Elder Zhan Hai, Senior Brother Wu Hui is also a good candidate. However, please forgive me for being blunt, but although Senior Brother Bu Hui has the cultivation level of a Prime Master, he’s too benevolent. As the Patriarch of the War God Clan, it’s a good thing to be benevolent, but if you’re too benevolent, you’ll be bullied. Now, the War God Clan needs to revive. What we need is a decisive and powerful person.”
“In summary, I think that recommending me as the new patriarch of the War God Clan is a very wise and smart move.” After saying that, Zhan Yingrong opened her arms and puffed out her chest, revealing her slightly bulging chest. Then, she joked, “Other than being a woman, I’m no different from you guys.”
Zhan Yingrong’s words were neither servile nor overbearing.
Her frankness gave everyone a good impression of her.
Pa, pa, pa—
Zhan Wuya applauded Zhan Yingrong and lamented sincerely, “Senior Sister Yingrong, with you as the Patriarch, the clansmen will be at ease.”
“If we work together to rebuild the War God Clan, I think everyone would be more at ease. Wuya, we all know what kind of person you are. But in the past, we also thought that we knew Prime Emperor Jiuxiao’s character very well, but in the end…” Shaking her head slightly, Zhan Yingrong said with a complicated expression, “It’s not that we don’t trust you anymore, but we can’t trust you without reservation like before. You have to use your actions to prove to us that the disciple of a sinner can also be a hero! “
