she?
Everyone looked in the direction Jiang Deng pointed, and their eyes fell on Zhan Ji who was standing in the center of the hall.
“…”
Everyone in the hall fell into a strange silence.
Jiang Deng ignored all this and continued to point at Zhan Ji, stating his reasons, "She is the wife of Master Yunfeng. She should be the one to inherit the Spiritual Peak and the property left behind by Master Yunfeng!"
"Besides..." Jiang Deng's smile deepened. "Since Master Yunfeng passed on all his cultivation to Zhan Ji before his death, it must have been so that she could inherit his spiritual peak and carry forward Yunwu Peak!"
“Nonsense!”
The whole hall was in an uproar. "How can a woman be the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect?"
Jiang Deng's smile widened. "Hmm? I already have this precedent, why can't there be another female peak master?"
“…”
Everyone was indignant.
If Zangfeng and his men could not get in, why would they give the position of the Master of Zangfeng to Jiang Deng?
But when they thought about how the Sect Master had protected Jiang Deng, if they attacked Jiang Deng, the Sect Master would definitely be killed, and the final outcome would be unfavorable to them...
Thinking of this, they all turned their guns on Zhan Ji, "No! We have to compete!"
"That's right! Only the winner can take the position of the Master of Yunwu Peak!"
"As long as this woman defeats us, we will agree to let her become the new leader of Yunwu Peak!"
Looking at the people shouting below, Jiang Deng's face became even colder.
Just now they knew that the position of Peak Master would be chosen from among them, so they recommended each other in a friendly manner. Now that there was only one more person, Zhan Ji, they were all excited to compete.
It's because they know clearly that Zhan Ji has just entered the Nascent Soul stage and her foundation is not stable. She can't beat these old monsters who have been in the Nascent Soul stage for who knows how many years. It's really shameless!
Jiang Deng turned his head to look at Su Heng and said coldly, "The one-month period has passed. I won the bet between you and me. Now it's your turn to promise me one thing. My request is that she become the new master of Yunwu Peak!"
Su Heng's eyes went dark.
That day, he made a bet with Jiang Deng for the next month. If he lost, he would agree to one thing from Jiang Deng.
Later, when he saw that Jiang Zhiling had really built her foundation and entered the Sword Tomb within a month under Jiang Deng's guidance, he felt something was wrong and thought that Jiang Deng might take the opportunity to make unreasonable demands.
Sure enough, his premonition came true, and Jiang Deng really opened his mouth...
Su Heng looked at the people below who were all dissatisfied, and the heavy stone in his heart suddenly fell, and the corners of his mouth curled up in pride.
"Yes, I said I'll promise you something if you win, but I also made it clear in advance that this matter must be within the scope of my ability. And now the position of Peak Master is not something I can decide alone. It requires the consent of everyone, so this matter is beyond my ability."
Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect would not cry until he saw the coffin. Should he find Asu now to seek justice?
"That's right! We don't agree with this mortal woman being the peak master!"
Everyone below responded to Su Heng, "If she wants to be the Peak Master, she must defeat all of us!"
"Otherwise, she will never be able to become the master of Yunwu Peak!"
…
There was a hint of anxiety in Zhan Ji's eyes. Jiang Deng had fallen into this situation of being roasted in the fire because of helping her. As long as she agreed to the competition, everything would be settled.
As for whether she could defeat these elders? Well... of course she couldn't!
It was even possible that these elders might secretly try to kill her during the competition because they disliked her.
Knowing that the road ahead was dangerous, Zhan Ji still did not hesitate, because Jiang Deng had already saved her life, and now in order to repay Jiang Deng, she would die without regrets!
“I…”
Zhan Ji opened her mouth and was about to agree to the competition.
“There are so many people.”
A disembodied male voice suddenly rang out.
The next moment, the owner of the voice, Baili Chengfeng, walked into the hall.
The hall, which had been filled with noise, suddenly became quiet. Everyone was looking at Baili Chengfeng, even Jiang Deng was no exception.
Jiang Deng opened her eyes wide in horror, thinking: Isn't this the man in black that she met at the bottom of the cliff when she was just reborn?
It seems to be... Ye Guchen, but wasn't he killed by her own hands? Why did he appear again?
Could it be that Ye Guchen also came back to life like her? !
Baili Chengfeng also saw Jiang Deng on the high seat at a glance, and was shocked: Why is it this mortal woman again!
How come in just over a month, she went from being a mortal to becoming the Peak Master of the Taichu Sword Sect?!
"Why is the envoy here too?"
Fortunately, Su Heng reacted in time, quickly stood up, and went to greet Baili Chengfeng with a smile on his face.
Baili Chengfeng said frankly, "The noise you guys are making here is making my eyes hurt. I can't sleep, so I came over to check on you. How did I disturb you?"
"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me! We are gathered here to discuss the selection of the new peak master. The envoy is willing to come here to preside over the overall situation for us, so of course we are happy to do so." Su Heng said with a smile.
"OK."
Baili Chengfeng walked up to the platform and sat in the middle seat, next to Jiang Deng. He said sincerely, "Then I will take charge of the situation for you."
Su Heng: “…”
He was just being polite!
Shouldn't a normal person have refused? Why did he just agree? Does this young man even understand the ways of the world?
But considering the other party's identity, Su Heng couldn't say anything and had to swallow his anger. His seat was taken away, so he could only sit in the empty seat in the corner with grievance.
At this moment, the youngest Jiang Deng and Baili Chengfeng were sitting on the main seats. They were relaxed and calm, as if they were the masters of the Taichu Sword Sect.
Baili Chengfeng, who had become the host, was not embarrassed at all. "I am deeply sorry for the murder of Peak Master Yun of your Taichu Sword Sect. Since you are all so sad, then Peak Master Yun's widow must be even more sad. In that case, the position of new Peak Master should be inherited by her."
Before stepping into the hall, he happened to hear what Jiang Deng said and deeply agreed with it, so what he said was what was in his heart.
And if he finishes early, he still has to go back to sleep.
Upon hearing this, the elders and managers were indignant, but no one dared to say a word.
This Night Envoy is the direct disciple of Lord Murong. If they don't give face to the Night Envoy, they are not giving face to Lord Murong!
Lord Murong is a top-level expert in the Return to Void Realm. How can they, the ants in the Nascent Soul Realm, afford to offend him?
Su Heng was still a little unwilling and hesitated, "But, didn't your master say that no sect can recruit female disciples? Then wouldn't choosing a female Peak Master also violate your master's rules..."
Baili Chengfeng frowned slightly.
He also couldn't understand why Murong Feiran made this rule, which made it more troublesome for him to find Venerable Jiang.
It is obvious that in his Taigu Spiritual Realm, male and female cultivators are treated equally, and female cultivators are even better than male cultivators as a whole. He doesn't understand why they are treated differently in the Feiran Spiritual Realm?
