Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's eyes instantly turned cold.

Bow to Zhao Tianhe?

Even if he were the sect leader of the Ziyang Sect, not even the sect's founder would be qualified for Ling Yun to pay homage.

Lin Zhennan's heart nearly stopped from fright. He had gone out of his way to curry favor with Ling Yun today, hoping to secure Ling Yun's favor for the Ziyang Sect.

If things go wrong, forget about clinging to powerful figures; even the very existence of the Ziyang Sect will be in question.

Immediately, Lin Zhennan shouted sternly:

"Ning Chuan, stop talking nonsense! Quickly kneel down and apologize to Young Friend Ling and the others, or I won't hesitate to expel you from the family!"

After saying that, he immediately transmitted his voice to Zhao Tianhe, telling him everything about Ling Yun.

Zhao Tianhe had just emerged from seclusion a few days ago and was unaware of Ling Yun's situation. After hearing the news, he remained unconvinced.

A weakling at the third level of Martial Soul Realm could wipe out 100,000 martial artists and almost destroyed the Spirit Sword Sect, but it's impossible for him to destroy the Qi family.

The moment Zhao Tianhe saw Ling Yun, he disliked him, simply because Ling Yun's eyes were full of contempt, the kind of contempt one would show when looking at an ant.

He was a powerful cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul Realm, and for an ant at the third level of Martial Soul Realm to dare to look at him like that, it was already a favor to Lin Zhennan not to kill him on the spot.

Ning Chuan, standing to the side, sneered:

"You want me to kneel down and apologize to them? Elder Lin, are you sure you're not joking? I am the sect leader's personal disciple. I only kneel to the sect leader. As for them, they are not qualified!"

He paused, then said with a disdainful expression:

"The highest level among them is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while I am already at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. I can destroy them with a wave of my hand."

"They really think they're something special, not even bowing to the sect leader! Let me tell you, if you don't bow, you'll be carried out on your backs later."

Zhao Tianhe did not stop Ning Chuan, clearly not taking Ling Yun and the others seriously.

At this moment, Lin Zhennan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body was trembling with fear. He cursed inwardly, wondering if Zhao Tianhe had made him stupid by going into seclusion.

"Will you kneel or not?!"

Lin Zhennan suddenly unleashed the aura of a Golden Core Realm expert, preparing to punish Ning Chuan.

At this moment, Ling Yun waved his hand to stop him, then looked at Ning Chuan and said coldly:

"Is the mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage really that impressive?"

Ning Chuan sneered:

"Heh... You, a weakling at the third level of Martial Soul Realm, are asking me if the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is powerful? Laughable!"

A Bao and his companions immediately turned serious and prepared to draw their swords.

Ling Yun raised his hand to interrupt them.

"Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, is it? Fine, if you can defeat my sister, I will pay my respects to your sect leader. If you can't, then leave your life behind!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan immediately felt offended. Ling Yao was only three years old and seemed to have no cultivation. How could he ask him to fight a three-year-old child? Wasn't that insulting?

"How dare you humiliate me..."

Ling Yao interrupted Ning Chuan's words crisply, drawing her short sword and saying:

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll defeat you with one sword!"

Ning Chuan was enraged, his killing intent overflowing. He looked at Zhao Tianhe.

Go!

Zhao Tianhe nodded slightly.

The next moment!

Ning Chuan took a step forward and raised his hand to strike Ling Yao. He was going all out to kill her.

Moreover, judging from his actions, after killing Ling Yao, his next move will be to attack Ling Yun and the others.

Facing Ning Chuan's powerful attack, Ling Yao showed no fear. She took a sword step and instantly appeared behind Ning Chuan.

Then, Ling Yao shook off the bloodstains on the short sword, and the moment it was sheathed, Ning Chuan's head fell limply from his neck, his eyes filled with terror and resentment.

Hiss~

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Ning Chuan died at the hands of a three-year-old child.

Ling Yao is none other than the Sword Emperor Lin Muyao. Although her memories are sealed and her physical body is that of a three-year-old child, her fighting instincts remain, making it easy for her to deal with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At this moment, Ling Yao herself was a little confused, wondering how she had suddenly become so powerful.

When Ning Chuan charged at me just now, my body involuntarily knew how to fight back.

After a brief moment of shock, Zhao Tianhe suddenly stood up, pointed at Ling Yun, and roared:

"You dare kill my disciple? You're asking for death!"

As he spoke, Zhao Tianhe made his move, intending to kill Ling Yun.

The next moment!

Ling Yun said coldly:

"Elder Lin, congratulations on your promotion to Sect Master of Ziyang Sect!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tianhe's body exploded, his form and soul annihilated.

Lin Zhennan was completely dumbfounded. He had become the sect leader?

Soon, he was overjoyed. Who wouldn't want to become the sect leader and enjoy all the cultivation resources of the entire sect?

They can also enjoy the worship of thousands of people.

Immediately, Lin Zhennan calmed himself down and looked at Ling Yun seriously, saying:

"Zhao Tianhe and his apprentice were too arrogant and deserved to die. Young friend Ling did a great job!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly and smiled:

"Then let's begin appreciating the Twelve Wonders of Ziyang!"

"Haha... Alright, please have the sect leader arrive!"

Lin Zhennan was in high spirits and led Ling Yun and his group into the luxurious sect master's dojo.

As Ling Yun passed a pond, he suddenly stopped and looked at the two red koi in the pond, his eyes lighting up slightly.

Lin Zhennan quickly said:

"Hehe... Five hundred years ago, there was a torrential rain, and these two koi carp fell from the sky."

At the time, Zhao Tianhe thought it was some rare and strange demon, but it turned out to be just an ordinary koi, so he left it there without paying any attention to it.

Five hundred years have passed, and these two koi carp still haven't grown any bigger.

Ling Yun was speechless. This Zhao Tianhe had really gone mad from being secluded. He couldn't even tell that these were two dragonfish that would evolve into golden dragons in the future.

If you raise them like ordinary koi, it's no wonder they won't grow big.

Seeing that Ling Yun was interested in koi, Lin Zhennan generously said:

"If young friend Ling likes it, then I will give it to you!"

Ling Yun certainly wouldn't be polite. The dragonfish was no ordinary treasure; if it evolved into a golden dragon in the future, it would be a powerful demon emperor comparable to the Nine Heavens Fox.

Immediately, Ling Yun waved his hand and put the two koi into his sea of ​​consciousness, where they would stay with the World Tree and the Wood Spirit Witch. In less than a hundred years, they would evolve into golden dragons.

Ling Yun was secretly delighted. His trip to the Ziyang Sect had been worthwhile; he had acquired two dragonfish, a rare and fortunate occurrence.

Lin Zhennan invited Ling Yun and the others into the main hall of the temple and said with a smile:

"Please have a seat, everyone. I will immediately arrange for the head chef to prepare the Twelve Wonders of Ziyang, and I will also take care of some sect affairs!"

Ling Yun knew that Lin Zhennan was about to announce his becoming the sect leader, and the process would definitely not be smooth sailing.

Ling Yun did not offer any help. If Lin Zhennan couldn't even handle this, then he was not qualified to be the sect leader.

An hour later, Lin Zhennan returned with a beaming smile, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

It seems he has already secured his position as sect leader.

"Haha... My dear friends, I've kept you waiting!"

Lin Zhennan smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, then called out:

"Serve the food!"

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, eager to see just how amazing the Twelve Wonders of Ziyang really were.

About fifteen minutes later, twelve attractive maids slowly walked over carrying trays.

Next, the twelve dishes were served one by one.

Lin Zhennan stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"These are the Twelve Wonders of Ziyang!"
