All along, Yuwen Gu Xue had intended to train Luo Wanqiong as her successor to take over the banner of the next master of the Divine Martial Sword Sect.
To this end, Yuwen Gu Xue even went so far as to open the Divine Martial Secret Realm created by the Divine Martial Sword Sect’s master ancestor and allow Luo Wanqiong to enter it for cultivation.
After cultivating in the Divine Martial Secret Realm, Luo Wanqiong’s cultivation finally soared all the way to the peak of Heavenly Immortality, just one step away from the highest level of the martial dao, the Golden Immortal!
Now, Luo Wanqiong is fully capable of becoming a sect master.
The only thing that Luo Wanqiong lacked now was influence in the clan, because she had only been in the clan for a short time!
Yuwen Gu Xue had always been looking for an opportunity to raise Luo Wanqiong’s influence, and right now, that opportunity had finally come!
Just now, the Trillion Ancient Sword had appeared in an accident and killed a true disciple for no reason, and in the end, such a crisis that almost swept through the entire sect was directly suppressed by Luo Wanqiong.
Such a statement could not be more appropriate for raising Luo Wanqiong’s influence in the sect!
Luo Wanqiong wasn’t stupid either, and naturally, she had already understood her own master’s intentions.
Although Luo Wanqiong had no great ambition to become the sect master, ever since Yuwen Gu Xue had brought her back from the brink of death a year ago, Luo Wanqiong had been obedient to this great benefactor who had changed her life.
So, naturally, she would not go against her partner’s wishes at this time.
So, Luo Wanqiong hurriedly changed her tone and said, “I was just doing what I should have done.”
Hearing these words, a smile also appeared on Yuwen Gu Xue’s face.
“Not bad, to be so humble after such a great feat, you are truly worthy of being my disciple, Yuwen Gu Xue! Only, next time, don’t take such fierce risks for unnecessary people, got it?”
As Yuwen Gu Xue said these words, his gaze even glanced at Li Nan at the side, his eyes filled with an indifferent look.
“Disciple understands!”
Luo Wanqiong hurriedly said.
Yuwen Gu Xue nodded, “Alright, let the test continue!”
With a command from Yuwen Gu Xue, the entire testing field resumed as normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
However, looking at the crowd in front of him, who had started testing again, and looking up at the lofty sword mound in front of him, Yuwen Gu Xue’s face couldn’t help but look gloomy.
In the hundreds of years that Yuwen Gu Xue had been in charge of this Divine Martial Sword Sect, she had never seen such a strange thing happen to this sword mound.
Even in the thousands of years before her, she had never heard of such a thing happening.
All Yuwen Gu Xue knew was that this sword mound had existed longer than all of them too, even longer than the entire Divine Martial Sword Sect, longer than the entire True Martial Realm had existed!
After so many years, Yuwen Gu Xue had thought that she was already familiar enough with this sword mound.
But today she realised that she knew absolutely nothing about this mysterious sword mound!
What exactly had caused the previous vision?
Yuwen Gu Xue felt that she needed to get a clear picture of it all over again!
Yuwen Gu Xue then used her divine thoughts to give orders to the crowd.
“All true disciples, follow me to the Divine Martial Peak for the council!”
“Disciples receive orders!”
All the true disciples responded with their divine thoughts.
Only Wei Ning, who was at the side, was a little hesitant at the moment.
“Er, Sovereign, then I ……”
Wei Ning was a little short of breath.
Although just now in the Divine Martial Hall, Yuwen Gu Xue had officially acknowledged Wei Ning’s status as the new one true disciple, Wei Ning was still a little unsure about his status.
He only felt that he was still just an outsider, like this important meeting, did he have the qualifications to participate?
Hearing Wei Ning’s question, a faint trace of displeasure flashed between Yuwen Gu Xue’s eyebrows.
Although the young man in front of him was only twenty years old and already possessed such a powerful sword intent, he could be considered a true genius of the sword dao.
However, because of his previous experience, Yuwen Gu Xue had an innate dislike for men from the bottom of his heart.
Although this disgust does not show itself too openly, to a large extent, it affects her attitude towards everyone.
This is precisely why Yuwen Gu Xue is so partial to Luo Wanqiong, because Luo Wanqiong has a very similar experience to her.
Both had been hurt because of a man, and both had even gone to extremes for the sake of a man!
Rather than favouritism, it would be better to say that when Yuwen Gu Xue looked at Luo Wanqiong, it was as if she was seeing herself!
As for this talented young man Wei Ning in front of her, Yuwen Gu Xue only regretted that a talent such as his did not appear in Luo Wanqiong’s body!
“Now that you are also a true heir, let’s go together then!”
With that said, Yuwen Gu Xue took a step out and directly flew towards the Divine Martial Peak side.
A flash of joy appeared on Wei Ning’s face, his heart was still very satisfied at being able to gain the recognition of the Divine Martial Sword Sect.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something else and looked at a place not far away.
There, Li Nan was re-testing.
However, the atmosphere at the test site was a bit odd.
At this moment, Gao Zhuo looked at the Li Nan in front of him and his mood was incomparably complicated.
He was now basically certain that the simultaneous awakening of the trillion ancient swords just now was related to this fellow in front of him!
This was because he had witnessed the other party fighting with Ji Xian in secret!
Even Ji Xian’s death was definitely the result of the other party’s hand!
Gao Zhuo was no longer in the mood to consider how the other party could possess such a powerful energy that could cause the Trillion Ancient Sword to have such an effect, and even kill a true disciple directly!
The most urgent question that Gao Zhuo needed to consider now was what kind of attitude he should take to face this master in front of him?
Gao Zhuo wanted to report him directly, but if he did so, he would inevitably have to confess that he had asked Ji Xian to use those dirty tricks against Li Nan behind his back.
Once this was exposed, Gao Zhuo would not be promoted to true heir, and it would be a matter of whether he could continue to stay in the Divine Martial Sword Sect or not!
That was why Gao Zhuo did not tell Yuwen Gu Xue about this matter at the first opportunity.
After thinking about it, Gao Zhuo finally decided to go with a slightly more prudent approach.
“That …… since he didn’t awaken his sword intent, then sorry, he won’t be able to become a disciple of our Divine Martial Sword Sect, I announce ……”
Gao Zhuo made a gesture that he was about to directly declare that Li Nan did not pass the test.
In Gao Zhuo’s opinion, as long as the other party was not allowed to enter the sect, then everything would be fine.
However, what Gao Zhuo did not expect was that before he could finish his sentence, Li Nan over there was a casual move.
“Whoosh!” There was a sound.
A white light flashed, an ancient sword directly cut through the air and flew straight from the sword mound directly into Li Nan’s hand.
“Sorry, what was said just now, I didn’t hear it clearly, please say it again?”
Li Nan held the ancient sword in his hand and looked at Gao Zhuo with a smile on his face as he asked.
To Li Nan, any of the ancient swords on top of this sword mound he wanted would be able to get.
However, in order to continue to keep a low profile, Li Nan had only picked the most ordinary lower grade ancient sword.
At this moment, Gao Zhuo looked at the smiling Li Nan in front of him, but he only felt a chill in his heart.
There was no longer any doubt in his mind that the simultaneous awakening of a trillion ancient swords just now was definitely the work of this man in front of him!
A single thought could awaken a trillion ancient swords, how powerful could this man be in front of him?
No matter what, he, Gao Zhuo, would definitely not be a match for his opponent.
He could not easily report at this time, or else he would not even know how he would die.
Having no choice, in the end, Gao Zhuo had no choice but to reluctantly announce, “Good, since …… has awakened the sword intent, then I declare that has passed the test and is already an official disciple of our Divine Martial Sword Sect!”
Hearing these words, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Nan’s mouth.
“Is that so? Then, thank you very much!”
After saying these words, Li Nan directly turned around and left.
Gao Zhuo, behind him, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when Li Nan’s voice was immediately heard in his mind.
“Remember, it’s not good for people to know too much!”
Hearing these words, Gao Zhuo’s legs went weak and his whole body almost sat down on the ground.
At this moment, Song Cang, who was at the side, ran over with a frown on his face.
“sh*t, Brother Zhuo, what’s going on? How can you let that kid enter the sect?!”
Song Cang’s words were filled with complaints.
It was no wonder.
Song Cang had spent so much effort and ended up getting nothing, but the two people, Li Nan and Wei Ning, had become official disciples of the Divine Martial Sword Sect before and after, which naturally made Song Cang’s heart very unbalanced.
“Damn it, do I still need to be taught what to do? Get as far away from me as you can!”
Gao Zhuo slapped Song Cang’s face, directly knocking him to the ground.
Song Cang’s whole body was dumbfounded, not expecting Gao Zhuo to strike at him.
And then, Gao Zhuo instructed two more disciples to drive Song Cang straight out.
Meanwhile, Wei Ning, who was not far away, saw that Li Nan’s side had passed the test, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
What he wanted most was to be able to stay with Li Nan in the sect, so that he could have a companion and not be so lonely in this huge sect.
Now that he saw that Li Nan had managed to stay here, he was naturally very happy.
“Brother Pill!”
Wei Ning opened his mouth and was about to greet Li Nan.
Only, before he could speak on his side, Li Nan’s voice came in his mind.
“Alright, don’t you still have to go to the proceedings, go and get busy first.”
Hearing these words, Wei Ning then nodded from afar and was about to turn around to leave.
And just at that moment.
“What did you just call him?”
A voice suddenly came from behind him.
