Chapter 213: Chapter 211: Appointment as Sect Master

Zhu Qiang snorted, "Rao Xiaofan, since you already know, I might as well admit it. The sudden increase in Spirit Stone tribute by Sea Sky Sect, inciting Yi Jing to refuse handing over Spirit Stones, suppressing the Four Major Families, these were all my doing. If you dare to kill me, then do it!"

Rao Xiaofan did not expect that the sudden increase in Spirit Stone tribute by Sea Sky Sect was orchestrated by Zhu Qiang behind the scenes. He thought, "It seems Zhu Qiang must have reached some sort of agreement with Sea Sky Sect; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to do this. If I kill Zhu Qiang, it will affect Sea Sky Sect’s interests. This is troublesome..."

Rao Xiaofan stepped back and retracted his Flying Sword, regretting having attacked Zhu Qiang.

"Haha..."

Zhu Qiang laughed wildly, "You wouldn’t dare destroy my Purple Mansion, injure my Dantian, or kill me."

"Hehe!"

Rao Xiaofan smiled bitterly, "It’s not that I don’t dare to kill you. I’m considering the prosperity of our Dragon Abyss Sect. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be your turn to shout here."

"Haha!"

Zhu Qiang laughed loudly, "No matter what you say, I, Zhu Qiang, will definitely become the Sect Master of Dragon Abyss Sect."

"Shut up!"

Yan Rufeng finally couldn’t hold back and roared.

"With just you, you think you are worthy of being the Sect Master of Dragon Abyss Sect!"

"Heh!"

Zhu Qiang mocked, "What are you, an outsider, blabbering here for?"

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng said coldly, "Zhu Qiang, if I did not intentionally protect Dragon Abyss Sect, just for saying this, you would suffer the annihilation of your Divine Soul, and even Dragon Abyss Sect would face annihilation!"

"Haha~"

Zhu Qiang laughed, "I’m so scared. Boy, if you really have the ability, kill me now. Destroy my Dragon Abyss Sect, no need to care for my Dragon Abyss Sect’s welfare."

"Zhu Qiang!"

Rao Xiaofan shouted.

"What do you mean by your Dragon Abyss Sect? I’m passing the Sect Master position to the senior right now. You can keep dreaming your spring and autumn dreams!"

"What?"

Zhu Qiang’s eyes emitted killing intent.

"Rao Xiaofan, you’re a bastard. You would rather hand over the Sect Master position to an outsider than to me. I will kill you. Taste my Soul Extinguishing Palm!"

Zhu Qiang’s body shook, emitting an aura that spread out as he raised his hand, directing a strike at Rao Xiaofan from a distance. The palm wind turned into a sharp sword, aiming directly at Rao Xiaofan’s face.

Since Rao Xiaofan mentioned passing the Sect Master position to Yan Rufeng, how could Yan Rufeng stand by? Releasing his pressure, he said, "Break!"

Immediately, the Spiritual Power attack from Zhu Qiang vanished, and tranquility returned to the world. Dragon Abyss Sect was now utterly peaceful.

Under the night sky, a brilliant light could be seen emitting from Yan Rufeng’s hand, enveloping Zhu Qiang tightly within a Spiritual Energy Restriction.

Withdrawing his pressure, Yan Rufeng looked sharply ahead.

Under the Spiritual Energy Restriction, Zhu Qiang couldn’t move and shivered involuntarily, but he took a deep breath and shouted, "Boy, if you have the ability, kill me now!"

Yan Rufeng ignored Zhu Qiang and looked towards Rao Xiaofan.

"Sect Master Rao, since you are passing the Sect Master position to me, from now on, I, Yan Rufeng, will be the Sect Master of Dragon Abyss Sect."

Rao Xiaofan knelt on one knee and cupped his hands, saying, "Rao Xiaofan greets the Sect Master."

The members of Dragon Abyss Sect saw this and knelt down one after another.

"We greet the Sect Master..."

Yi Jing, the ancestor of the Yi Family, and others, with their wounds healed by the Rejuvenation Technique and having taken the Discontinuous Pill, also knelt down in front of Yan Rufeng.

Yi Mu, standing next to Yan Rufeng, smiled secretly and thought, "Brother Rufeng is truly incredible. I didn’t expect him to become the Sect Master of Dragon Abyss Sect within such a short time. Truly surprising and formidable. As expected of someone who claimed he would make a name for himself on Canglong Continent in three years..."

Facing the members of Dragon Abyss Sect, Yan Rufeng smiled slightly and said indifferently, "All of you, rise."

Everyone shouted in unison, "Thank you, Sect Master..."

At this time, Rao Xiaofan took a step forward and cupped his hands, "Sect Master, our disciple Zhu Qiang conspired with Sea Sky Sect, framed inner sect disciples, usurped the Sect Master’s position, and neglected our Dragon Abyss Sect. I request the Sect Master to order his execution."

Yan Rufeng placed one hand behind his back, smiled slightly, and said, "Rao Xiaofan, I now appoint you as the Law Enforcement Hall Master of Dragon Abyss Sect. As for how to deal with Zhu Qiang, I trust you understand better than I do."

Rao Xiaofan cupped his hands, "Understood."

Rao Xiaofan’s eyes flashed with a cold light and killing intent as he turned to look at Zhu Qiang.

"Zing!"

A sword cry echoed through the sky. Under the night sky, a dazzling sword rainbow flashed, and Zhu Qiang, who felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, had his Purple Mansion and Dantian pierced by Rao Xiaofan’s Flying Sword, losing all signs of life.

A blazing fire descended, and Zhu Qiang’s body turned to ashes in no time.

Rao Xiaofan exhaled a long breath and murmured, "Finally removed this disaster, Zhu Qiang. It was worth giving up the Sect Master position."

Yan Rufeng looked around, spreading his Divine Sense. He discovered that among the thousands of disciples of the sect, except for Yi Jing and Rao Xiaofan, all their cultivation levels were below the Golden Core Stage.

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng sighed, "It seems the first thing to do is to raise their cultivation level by a realm."

"Reporting to the Sect Master!"

Rao Xiaofan’s voice rang in Yan Rufeng’s ear.

"Speak, Hall Master Rao!"

"Sect Master, Zhu Qiang sent people to seek support from Sea Sky Sect. They should arrive before dawn. When they find out Zhu Qiang is dead, how should we explain it to them?"

Yan Rufeng’s eyes turned sharp, "Dragon Abyss Sect doesn’t need to explain anything to them."

Rao Xiaofan said, "Sect Master, although that’s true, if we don’t agree to their demand of 200 mid-grade Spirit Stones tribute each month, they would use Zhu Qiang’s death as an excuse to take out their anger on Dragon Abyss Sect. Should we prepare the tribute to avoid offending Sea Sky Sect?"

"Hehe..."

Yan Rufeng let out a cold laugh.

"Dragon Abyss Sect giving them Spirit Stones is out of the question."

Rao Xiaofan’s face darkened, cupping his hands, "Sect Master, if we don’t give them the Spirit Stones, they will certainly destroy Dragon Abyss Sect. We cannot act impulsively now. Let’s give them the Spirit Stones as they requested."

Yan Rufeng’s eyes turned sharp, "Hall Master Rao, I, Yan Rufeng, will not give them a single Spirit Stone. Do not mention it again!"

"Sect Master..."

Rao Xiaofan knelt before Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng glared, "What do you mean by this?"

"Sect Master, for the sake of Dragon Abyss Sect, please bear this once!"

Seeing this, everyone knelt before Yan Rufeng.

One person said, "Sect Master, our Dragon Abyss Sect is weak. We cannot endure the wrath of Sea Sky Sect. As an inner sect disciple, I am willing to offer all my Spirit Stones to help the sect through this crisis!"

"I am also willing to give all my Spirit Stones!" another person shouted.

Yi Jing, the ancestor of the Yi Family, knelt on one knee and cupped his hands, "Sect Master, I, Yi Jing, will now offer all my Spirit Stones to help Dragon Abyss Sect through this crisis..."
