Chapter 126 What if You Lose?

When the monks in the hall heard this, there was an uproar.

Who was Xie Yuqing? He hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, and wasn't even as good as the outer sect cultivators. How could he be the sect leader?

The elders of the sect only gave her some face because of her status as the sect leader's wife. If they asked her to be the sect leader, that would be absolutely unacceptable.

Immediately, a cultivator shouted, "Master, our sect is ranked as the greatest sect among the immortal race not only because we have Grandmaster Gongsun, who is only half a step away from ascending to godhood, but also because we have so many exceptionally powerful cultivators. Even if you were to abdicate, it wouldn't be Xie Yuqing's turn to be the master!"

Everyone echoed approvingly, "That's right! If people knew our sect leader was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, we'd be laughed out loud by the other sects, and even our position as the number one immortal would be in jeopardy!"

After these words were spoken, Chi Qi, who was sitting at the top, had no reaction, but Shi Zhuoyue blushed first, and wished he could dig a hole in the ground to bury himself in.

His father must be crazy to say such crazy words as to let his mother be the sect leader. If the two of them don't feel ashamed, then he will feel ashamed!

Yu Yixian just thought this matter was ridiculous. If it were someone else, she might even think that Shi Zhenlin seriously wanted to abdicate.

But Xie Yuqing... Oh! She knew this woman's character very well.

Although Xie Yuqing is in the immortal sect, he doesn't care about cultivation at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be at the foundation-building stage after so many years.

All her thoughts were on maintaining her youthful beauty so as to win the heart of her powerful partner. No matter how good the cultivation resources were, they all turned into beauty pills in her hands.

The achievement she is most proud of is that she cultivated Shi Zhuoyue, a talented boy who reached the Dan stage at the age of 18.

Of course, this was her pursuit, and Yu Yixian didn't want to comment on it, but Xie Yuqing always wanted to show off to her. He felt that she was too pitiful being alone, and was eager to introduce a partner to her.

What's even more outrageous is that every time she went to report the sect's affairs to Shi Zhenlin, Xie Yuqing would stare at her like a thief. When he saw the gifts she presented, he would suspect that she was trying to seduce Shi Zhenlin and wanted to remove her from her position as deacon elder.

Yu Yixian was so unlucky to have to deal with these two mothers-in-law and father-in-law. One of them exploited her energy and money, and the other one destroyed her spirit and soul.

The only thing worth being happy about was that both of the things Xie Yuqing regarded as his life pursuits had failed.

The perfect partner she wanted most had an affair with a mortal woman and had a seventeen-year-old daughter with her, while the man she was most proud of had gone astray and his spiritual roots had been severed, turning him into a complete cripple.

Yu Yixian was worried she would collapse, but who would have thought she would turn around and set her sights on the position of sect leader... Should I praise her for her lofty ambitions? But for her, Yu Yixian, this was simply a disaster!

"Master, you should not have forgotten the rules set by our great-grandmaster, right? If you want to succeed the position of Master, in addition to your permission, you must also obtain the consent of more than half of the five deacons and elders in the sect. I think none of the elders present here will agree." Yu Yixian looked at Shi Zhenlin with an impeccable smile on his face.

Shi Zhenlin glanced at Chi Lun cautiously, but didn't dare to speak. Chi Lun took over Yu Yixian's words and said, "Then let the deacons and elders vote by raising their hands."

Seeing Chi Yan's calm demeanor, Yu Yixian suddenly felt a little shaken. Could this woman be serious? How could she, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, dare to do this?

However, Xie Xiaohai, the most advanced among the deacons and elders, spoke first, "I agree to let my daughter Xie Yuqing become the leader of this sect!"

There was a sudden commotion in the hall, and everyone started thinking, "Xie Xiaohai is Xie Yuqing's father, so it's not surprising that he would support her. We still have to see what the other four elders say."

Therefore, all eyes turned to the remaining four elders.

Unexpectedly, the three elders, Sun Nanshan, Jinqueyun, and Zhu Meizi, although they all struggled and hesitated, finally raised their hands to express their agreement.

Zhu Meizi said, "Although Madam Xie's current cultivation, talents, and moral character are not enough to qualify as the Sect Master, she is very talented and has a promising future. She is definitely the best candidate for the position!"

The smile on Yu Yixian's face was about to break. This person must be blind to say such nonsense.

But now, Xie Yuqing has already obtained the support of the four deacons and elders, so even if she expresses opposition, it will be of no avail.

The monks in the hall fell silent. The sect leader and the deacon elders had agreed. What else could they say? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if they questioned them?

Shi Zhenlin had never expected that Chi Luo could convince the four elders in just one night. It was so terrifying that it made him even more afraid, and he immediately gave up the idea of playing tricks.

He honestly took out the Golden Rope Sword—Chi Luo had returned it to him specifically to go through the motions—and was about to ask Chi Luo to kneel down and receive it. Suddenly, Yu Yixian stood up and said, "Wait, I haven't said I agree yet, have I?"

Shi Zhenlin frowned. Even if you don’t agree, what can you do? You can’t change the result, right?

He was about to speak when Chi Li reached out to stop him and looked at Yu Yixian with a smile, "Of course, Elder Yu's opinion is also important."

Yu Yixian was stunned. What happened? Did Xie Yuqing suddenly change her ways? Don't think she'll support you just because you say a few nice words.

Chi Li walked up to her, her eyes curved, and she said gently, "Actually, I've always seen all the contributions Elder Yu has made to the sect over the years. I've even thought about promoting you to deputy sect leader when I become sect leader. So, I can choose not to listen to others, but I must listen to your opinion of me."

Yu Yixian looked at the corner of her mouth with a smile on her face, and her heart was instantly in turmoil.

What did she just say? Promoting her to be the deputy leader, that must be a lie!

But what if it was true? Since the four elders had all agreed, there was no need for her to object.

If you think about it carefully, Xie Yuqing is a useless person with no cultivation. The sect's development is worrying with her as the leader, but for her, Yu Yixian, it is actually a good thing.

Doesn't this mean that Xie Yuqing must rely on her for sect affairs? At that time, her Moon-Watching Peak will naturally rise in value, and she will have as many spirit stones as she wants.

Moreover, since Xie Yuqing is the sect leader himself, there is no need to worry about her seducing Shi Zhenlin. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Yu Yixian's smile grew sincere. "Madam Xie is both virtuous and talented, and has extraordinary gifts. Your future is limitless. Your cultivation may even surpass that of several elders like me. The position of sect leader is naturally yours."

As he spoke, he took the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from Liu Xiaoman's hand and presented it with both hands, "Master, I wish you a smooth journey to immortality and hope you will soon attain enlightenment."

"Thank you, Elder Yu, for your kind words." Chi Li took the Ganoderma lucidum and put it into her storage bag.

She was not at all surprised by Yu Yixian's choice. Before this, she had learned from Liu Shen'ai that her current situation was not as glamorous as it seemed.

Therefore, it is impossible for her not to be tempted by using the position of deputy sect leader to lure her.

Shi Zhenlin, who was standing by, was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw that the Ganoderma lucidum that was originally intended for him was given to Chi Luan instead.

He had thought that Yu Yixian was going to be tough for once, and didn't expect Chi Lan to convince him with just a few words. If Yu Yixian had insisted on her own opinion this time, he would have looked up to her, but it turned out that she was essentially a vain woman!

Just as he was rolling his eyes, he saw Chi Lun turn around and reach out to take the golden sword in his hand. He was so scared that he immediately restrained his expression, looked at Chi Lun quietly, and found that she looked normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Qi was busy with the process and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

She faced the crowd in the hall, raised the Golden Rope Sword, and said loudly, "Since the elders are so kind, I will not refuse. I, cultivator Xie Yuqing, have the audacity to take over the position of Sect Master of the Golden Gate Immortal Mansion. I will live up to everyone's expectations and lead the sect to glory!"

No matter how reluctant the monks in the hall were, they had no choice but to accept this fact. They knelt down and saluted, saying in unison, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

The five elders, including the former sect leader Shi Zhenlin, were no exception and all bowed down.

The main god system's notification sounded at this moment, "The mission [Master of a Sect] has been completed, and 20 million reward points have been obtained."

Chi Qi's eyes were cold as she slowly swept over everyone in the hall, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Without Song Yu as a middleman, she could indeed earn points much faster, which meant that she could do more.

Chi Qi narrowed her eyes, her gaze paused on Shi Zhuoyue and Qiu Qianling who was hiding behind him, and then passed by as if nothing had happened.

Of course she knew that Qiu Qianling had escaped from the dungeon.

She just didn't expect that, even though it was her senior brother who had clearly warned Qiu Qianling that he coveted her spiritual roots, the first person she turned to for help after escaping danger was Shi Zhuoyue.

I have to say that the character of the wise and kind senior brother Shi Zhuoyue, which he painstakingly created, is quite popular.

Just as Chi Li was about to speak, Liu Shen'ai's voice suddenly rang out in her mind, "Be careful, my virus program won't last long, those four people are about to lose control!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiaohai, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up and said, "Xie Yuqing, have you had enough of your nonsense? Hurry and hand over the Golden Sword. How can a cultivator like you, who is only in the Foundation Establishment stage, be the leader of this sect?"

His face was very ugly and flushed red with anger, his eyes full of regret.

Last night, a particularly alluring female voice suddenly entered his ears. As if possessed by a ghost, he urged his spiritual sense to go and check it out. However, he did not expect that as soon as he explored, his spiritual sense was trapped in a fog.

After he finally broke free from the fog with great effort, he felt terrible when he saw the situation in front of him.

How could he possibly support his worthless daughter to become the clan leader?!

The sound last night must have been the spell that Xie Yuqing cast on her. It's okay for her to be willful at other times, but how could she act so recklessly in such a big matter?

Xie Xiaohai glared at Shi Zhenlin and said harshly, "Xie Yuqing doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. Don't you, Sect Master, know that either? Why did you actually pass the Golden Rope Sword to her when she wanted to be Sect Master?"

Shi Zhenlin looked in pain, he was forced to do it!

Chi Qi casually swung the Golden Rope Sword in her hand, squinting her eyes at Xie Xiaohai and saying coldly, "Xie Xiaohai, now that the Golden Rope Sword is in my hands, I am the legitimate leader. As a subordinate, is this how you should treat your leader?"

Xie Xiaohai looked at Chi Qi in disbelief. He could never have imagined that his daughter, who had always been the most obedient and well-behaved, would actually disobey him like this. The redness on his face instantly spread to his neck, and he was completely furious.

But what Chi Qi said was absolutely correct. Now she was the clan leader and he was her subordinate. If he continued to act like a father, it would be an act of insubordination.

But how could Xie Xiaohai tolerate Xie Yuqing stepping on his head? "Okay, very good! Since you insist on making trouble, then let's follow the sect's rules!"

As he spoke, a golden order flashing with cold light appeared out of thin air between his fingers. With a wave of his hand, the golden order shot towards Chi Li.

"This is the Golden Gate Challenge Order. You must accept this competition. If you lose, you must give up the position of Sect Leader!"

There was a cold glint in Chi Qi's eyes. Seeing the golden order coming in front of her, she stretched out two fingers of her right hand and clamped the golden order neatly. The movement was done in one go, and even the corner of her clothes did not move at all.

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Xie Xiaohai, a meaningful smile on her lips, "What if you lose?"
