…
Silence filled the sect hall.
The matter of Su Changyu becoming the Holy Son has been discussed for a long time.
The Great Holy Sect was too big, with numerous factions and complex alliances.
In addition, the Holy Son's position was closely tied to the sect's inheritance, naturally leading to disputes from various sides.
Initially, Su Changyu wasn't ambitious, and all he did was pursue Mu Qingqing restlessly, so other forces didn't pay much attention to him.
He was trash anyway, and even if he were chosen as a potential candidate for the Holy Son's position, what could he do?
However, Su Changyu's recent performance shocked everyone.
If they hadn't seen the flaws before, they would have thought Su Changyu was pretending on purpose!
After all, how could he suddenly become so powerful?
Nevertheless, the die has been cast.
Su Changyu climbed the Tripe Third, setting a record for the Great Holy Sect, and ultimately succeeded the Holy Son's position.
Lu Wuya thought there would be no problems.
But because Su Changyu killed Mu Qingqing, the elders used this to hold him back.
They didn't want to give up, but there was no other option.
Lu Wuya asked for the Sect Master's guidance, but she didn't respond.
But unexpectedly, she appeared at this moment.
""Greetings, Sect Master!""
The elders stood up and greeted her.
"My disciple has become the Holy Son. Do you agree, or do you oppose it?"
Inside the great hall, the tremendous pressure from the Sect Master caused everyone's breath to halt.
The Grand Elder of the Great Holy Sect!
They didn't even notice her appearance.
However, thinking about Mu Qingshuang's previous methods, even those who supported Su Changyu couldn't help but shudder.
"Sect Master."
Lu Wuya cupped his hand and said, "Nephew Changyu has ascended the Triple Third and succeeded in the Holy Son's position. We naturally have no objections."
Looking at the Black Lotus, he was puzzled why the Grand Elder didn't reveal her true form; her voice and aura were overwhelming.
"Haa, Are you overlooking Su Changyu's killing of the sect's direct disciple?" a senior elder asked in a deep voice, "And don't forget, Mu Qingqing is still a Sect Elder's disciple, and he violated the sect's rules. If he becomes the Holy Son, think about what might happen?"
Lu Wuya argued, "That's not true. I was also present when nephew Changyu made his move, and Mu Qingqing was clearly at fault at first. Not only this time, everyone saw what Mu Qingqing did during the sect examination. She repeatedly insulted Young Master Changyu. How could such words and actions deserve a 'direct disciple'?"
The elder snorted coldly, "Even if Mu Qingqing is at fault, it should be handled by the Law Enforcement Hall. With such a character, how can Su Changyu be worthy of becoming the Holy Son?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingshuang's voice rang out.
"So, you object?"
In the next moment, a brilliant light flashed from the Black Lotus.
Boom!
As a mysterious force directly struck the elder who had just spoken, he didn't react.
Hiss~
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
They hadn't even seen how Mu Qingsheng struck him.
The strength gap was too great!
None of the Great Holy Sect's elders could match her.
"Anyone else objecting, speak up."
The Sect Elder's lips twitched slightly, and they all averted their gaze.
They object.
But could they say it?
If they say it, it will only lead to a beating.
In the end, wouldn't they have to agree anyway?
The strongest always holds sway!
Lu Wuya laughed in his heart, thinking these guys were cheap. They knew objections were useless, so why bother making a fuss?
At the moment, an aura suddenly enveloped the entire hall.
"Alright, this matter ends here. Su Changyu has reached the top of the Tripe Third; his talent is outstanding, and from now on, he will be the Great Holy Sect's Holy Son. No one is allowed to discuss it further."
Everyone gasped and bowed one after another, saying, "We respectfully follow the Sect Master's order."
The Back Lotus flickered with a faint light as if it had received a satisfactory reply.
The next moment, it dispersed into a black mist and dissipated.
...
Dang!
Dang!
Dang!
Inside the Great Holy Sect, the soft sound of a bell spread throughout the entire sect.
Following the sound of a bell, an order was announced, stirring countless disciples.
Su Changyu became the Great Holy Sect's Holy Son!
This news didn't seem surprising.
However, some disciples who had expected a change after Mu Qingqing's death shook their heads in disbelief.
This order was given by the Sect Master.
Obviously, for the Great Holy Sect, the glorious moment of Su Changyu ascending the triple third overshadowed the death of a direct disciple.
"Sure enough, Senior Brother Su has become the Holy Son."
"Still calling Senior Brother Su? Now call him Holy Son."
"I wonder how Senior Brother Li Tianyi is feeling now."
"I heard his clan summoned him."
"To attack the Holy Son on the Triple Third, he was asking for trouble."
For the Azura Continent, the strength of the sect and the cultivation of the young generation were crucial.
The die was cast, and Mu Qingqing was dead.
Dead people have no value.
At this moment, Su Changyu walked inside the sect hall.
"Greetings Elders." He cupped his hand toward the figures sitting in the grand hall.
Above the hall, Dao Tianweng looked at Su Changyu calmly.
"I thought your master selected you as the Holy Son's candidate on a whim. I didn't expect you to surprise us all."
Su Changyu smiled lightly and replied, "My Master's opinion of me is high, and as a disciple, I must live up to her expectations."
"You're good, but you need to control your temper. It's fine outside, and it doesn't matter if you teach a lesson to fellow disciples, but why hurt someone to the point of death?"
Dao Tianeng had always held high expectations for Mu Qingqing, who was young and talented. He wanted to cultivate her as his successor. However, after coming out of the closed-door cultivation, he learned that his disciple was killed.
Such a matter, who could he endure it?
But, because of the Sect Master, he had to endure.
Not only Mu Qingshuang and the Su family were powerful, but Su Changyu was a heavenly pride worthy of the sect's efforts to cultivate him.
On the Zhingtian Continent, many clans eyeing the Great Holy Sect.
At least in terms of strength and talent, Su Changyu, as the Holy Son, convinced everyone.
Su Changyu wasn't humble and replied, "This matter, the second elder knows best. I have been patient with Mu Qingqing three times. If it weren't for her status as the Sect Elder's direct disciple, I would have taken action long ago."
Lu Wuya's lips twitched slightly.
Under Dao Tianweng's probing gaze, Lu Wuya responded, "What Young Master Changyu said is true. Mu Qingqing had some... rude behavior. Even if she is a direct disciple, she shouldn't be that reckless."
The other elders were silent.
This matter had already been discussed before this.
The Sect Elder didn't even pursue it, so there was no need to talk.
Dao Tianweng nodded slightly, "This matter is over; from now on, you will be the Holy Son. I hope you can lead the younger generation and raise our sect's prestige."
Su Changyu smiled inwardly.
Killing Mu Qingqing caused some trouble, as he expected.
But it didn't matter.
It was just a pity that he originally intended to put Ye Yuan and that b*tch on a good show before killing them.
"There is another thing." Dao Tianweng calmly added, "Half a month later, the Imperial Family will announce the Crown Prince and invite guests from all sects. At that time, you will represent our sect to attend."
The Imperial Family? Su Changyu thought for a moment.
According to the novel, it was a powerful family entrenched in the Middle of the Asura Continent.
The Su family had a close relationship with them; and in fact, the seventh Imperial Family princess, Nie Mengyao, was his fiancée!
However, when Su Changyu lost his status in the sect in the original novel and was involved in an internal fight within the Su family, the seventh princess brought people to his door and demanded to terminate their engagement.
In front of everyone, she trampled on Su Changyu's dignity.
"This disciple obeys."
Su Changyu flashed a playful smile.
Indeed, he should go and look at this Imperial Family.
