The Eternal World

Inside Qilin Sect, the Great Clan Elder sat on the Sect Master's throne, gently caressing the armrest of the throne, feeling the friction brought about by the special material, and being deeply intoxicated within.

"The throne of the Sect Master! When will this old man be able to sit on it properly?" He sighed to himself.

"First Elder, now that all the opposition within the sect has been eliminated, who in the entire sect would dare to oppose you?" The servant next to him rubbed his hands in flattery: "Besides, the former master's son is on your side. Even the supreme elders of the sect would support you!"

"Mm, then, which day do you think the new sect head will be appointed?" The First Elder felt very comfortable when he heard these words. He could not help but nod his head and say.

"Four days from now, it will be an auspicious day for you to ascend to the position of sect head!" The servant counted with his fingers, then said with a beaming expression.

"Alright, then four days later, hahahaha!" The Head Elder laughed out loud in satisfaction, as if he had already become the master of this sect …

… ….

On Zhang Chao's side, he quickly received news of the Great Elder, and the day of his re-election as sect master four days later.

He had also made all his preparations.

Time passed in a flash, and four days later …

The place the Great Elder had chosen was the largest hall in the Qilin Sect; it was called Heaven's Unicorn Hall.

When Zhang Chao and Qiu Heng arrived, the hall was already filled with people.

On the other side, sat a dozen or so old men who had come down from rotten wood. Each of them had a head full of white hair and beard, and the wrinkles on their faces were all over the place, making it seem as if their blood had long since dried up and they were using all kinds of heaven and earth treasures and medicinal pellets to hang on to their lives. However, even so, it was likely that they did not have much time to live.

These old men had basically lost all of their combat strength. They were placed there like flowery shelves, looking extremely unnatural.

"What's going on with these old guys?" Zhang Chao asked in confusion.

"They? They were the elders when the Qilin Sect was first established, but they were old, so their strength had declined greatly, but taking into consideration that they were meritorious men, they became great elders, and actually participated in the decisions of the sect's upper echelons! " Qiu Heng said in a low voice, "For something as big as the re-election of the sect master, they have to appear before the final decision can be considered effective!"

"Is that so …" Zhang Chao rubbed his chin.

Not long after, the Head Elder stood up and pressed his hands together, signaling for the entire hall to quiet down.

He then looked around and said loudly with a tone of grief: "All the brothers, disciples, and elders of Qilin Sect!"

"Half a month ago, when Lord Sect Master Qilin was in closed door cultivation, he was sneakily attacked by the enemy. Along with the elite guards under him, all of them died in battle, not even their bones remained!"

"This matter is a huge blow to our Qilin Sect!"

"With an incomparably sorrowful heart, we pay tribute to the memory of our great Sect Master. He was the one who led our Qilin Sect to become more and more prosperous, becoming one of the top sects in the entire Ten Thousand Beast Area!"

"It's a pity that he left early on. What he left behind for us was only endless grief!"

"But the proverb goes, a country cannot be without a ruler, and our Qilin Sect cannot remain in the shadow of sorrow forever. We must once again stand up, and move forward, and let our Qilin Sect flourish in our hands, and not let down all that Lord Kirin has invested into us!"

"Everyone knows that a few days ago, something happened within the sect!"

"There are some fellows who, taking advantage of Lord Kirin Zi's death, wanted to take sole possession of the sect and push the sect into a abyss of suffering. They had ulterior motives and wanted to rebel. They were suppressed by this old man and the other hall masters, bringing the traitors to justice!"

"Therefore, at a time like this, there is a need for a new leader in the Sect to suppress all the factors that cause unease in the Sect!"

"Moreover, the competition for the worship of the holy mountain will soon begin. If we were to continue on like this, we would not stand out in this competition!"

"Therefore, I suggest that you elect a new respected person to become the new Sect Master of Qilin Sect!"

"The Great Masters all agreed with this old man's suggestion, so now … No matter who it is, as long as they think that they can take on the position of sect head, they can go ahead and see what degree everyone has towards them.

These words were spoken with dignity, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.

"Great Elder!" Someone below suddenly shouted loudly, "We support First Elder in becoming the new Sect Leader!"

"That's right, the Great Elder has great prestige, seniority, and high cultivation. Only he is worthy to be the new Sect Master!"

"Grand Elder, we need you to lead us!"

"Yes, Great Elder, you are the new Sect Leader!"

Soon after, the cheers grew louder and louder. The entire hall was filled with people who supported the grand elder.

"Damn, there's a lot of work to do here!" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows and looked around, he knew that all of these were just for show, and the few hall masters that had the qualifications to compete for the position of sect master could only watch helplessly, who would dare be rash?

"This... Thank you everyone for your support. How could I have the ability to sit on the position of sect head? This old man has truly been daunted! " Although the Great Elder said this, he could no longer conceal the joy on his face.

"Mm. We also agree that Great Elder taking over the position of sect head is reasonable!" Those supreme elders could not even keep their eyes open, so they shook their heads and expressed their opinions.

"I heard that the Kirin Clan's leader still left his bloodline in the world and has come here today. It would be better to listen to his opinion. If the descendants of the previous Sect Master agree that the First Elder has become the new Sect Master, then there would be nothing to oppose it!" One of the Great Elders coughed a few times and said.

All of this was planned beforehand!

The corners of the Great Elder's lips curled up slightly.

Everything was going according to plan.

His gaze fell on Zhang Chao's body, and indicated to her.

As long as Zhang Chao nodded his head, and said two more words, no one would make any other sounds within the entire Qilin Sect, and the position of sect master, would be his!

"Right, let's welcome the direct descendant of the former Sect Leader!" Someone shouted out, and then, the crowd separated, and flashed Zhang Chao out.

"Cough!" Do you really want me to say it? " Zhang Chao pretended to cough.

"Come, nephew, quickly come up!" The Grand Elder invited him with incomparable enthusiasm.

"Alright, since it's you guys who asked me to speak, then I won't be polite!" Zhang Chao nodded, and directly walked to the highest platform in the front, stood by the Great Elder's side, then looked at the crowd and said with a clear voice. "This one is Yuan San, and I believe everyone knows me, as well as my identity, right?"

"Of course, you're Elder Yuan. The former sectmaster, Lord Kirin Zi, is the only son in this world, the only blood relative!" Everyone nodded.

"Alright, then doesn't my words have some weight?" Zhang Chao continued to ask after thinking for a while.

"Of course, if your words have no weight, then who has?" The crowd once again echoed his words.

"Hur hur, very good!" Zhang Chao chuckled, then looked at the Great Clan Elder who looked forward to it, his face suddenly darkened, and he said with a stern voice: "I do not approve of the Great Clan Elder becoming the new Sect Leader!"

Once those words were said, the entire hall fell into silence.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, their eyes wide open.

"Ugh …" Nephew, this old man knows that you like to be humorous, but in this kind of situation, it's best if you don't make fun of me! " The Great Elder's expression froze. After a long while, he forced out a smile and said in an amiable tone.

"Who's joking with you?" Zhang Chao snorted coldly, then cupped his fists towards the dozen or so clan elders and continued to speak loudly: "Everyone also knows, that this Qilin Sect was created by my father. Although I have always been outside, and do not understand much about the matters within the sect, I do know that the principle of a son inheriting from the father!"

"And what the Great Clan Elder is doing, is completely eliminating those who are different from him. He wholeheartedly wants to get the upper hand and even wants to coerce me to speak up for him. This kind of thing, I, Yuan San cannot hold back my conscience!"

"Furthermore, I heard that on the night my father was killed, regardless of whether it was the sect in front of the mountain or the place where they went into seclusion, everyone died. Why is the Grand Elder the only one left alive?"

"Could it be that the Great Elder's strength has already reached the heavens, and he's even stronger than my father?"

"This …" When everyone heard this, they all began to whisper among themselves.

"Nephew, you can't say such words, it's just that that thief disdaining to kill me …" The Great Clan Elder was anxious, his mind was working extremely quickly, why did Yuan San suddenly strike back at this critical moment?

"Disdain? That Great Elder, according to your loyalty, shouldn't you rush up there at that time and die together with the sect master? " Zhang Chao asked in an overbearing manner.

"At that time, the situation …" At that time, he really had no other choice, but to speak like this in front of so many people, coupled with Zhang Chao's provocations, who would believe what he had just said?

"Yuan San, since you say that the Great Clan Elder is incompetent and unfit to be the new Sect Master, then who do you think has the qualifications?" The Supreme Elders on the side quickly spoke up to help the Great Elder shift the pressure.

"Who?" No one has the qualifications, other than me, Yuan San! " Zhang Chao curled his lips, pointed at himself and said loudly: "As the only son of the Qilin, don't tell me that you don't have the qualifications to inherit all of his family business?"

"What?" "You?" The Great Clan Elder was startled, then he pointed at Zhang Chao and laughed: "Stop joking, you brat, if you want qualifications and no experience, if you want strength, you are just a trash who likes to roam around everyday and covet wine and sex, what qualifications do you have?"

"Qualification?" Zhang Chao smirked: "You want to know my qualifications? "Alright, then I'll let you see it now!"
