Volume 1: The Swordsman of the East Chapter 8: Eastern Hierarch
Chengde Hall!
Dharma Protector Xiang Tianwen, Dharma Protector Qu Yang, the nine elders, and Deputy Leader Dongfang Qing were all waiting here.
Ren Tianxing lay quietly on the bed in the hall, his chest rising and falling slightly.
At one side was Ren Yingying, with tears in her eyes, and Lan Xuexin, who was lying beside her, already dead.
And next to Ren Tianxing was the murderous doctor Ping Yizhi.
"Fortunately, the leader has deep inner strength and is lucky enough to save his life. I just don't know when he will wake up!"
After some diagnosis and medication, Ping Yizhi sighed slightly and said.
Ren Tianxing had already suffered damage to his internal organs due to the clash of internal forces from different species, and even his meridians had become disordered due to his continuous use of strong true energy.
He was then attacked by several martial arts masters. If his internal strength was not strong enough, he would have died long ago.
"Uncle Ping Yizhi, when will my father wake up!" Ren Yingying was in tears, looking extremely helpless.
In one day, the mother died and the father fell into a coma. It would be unbearable for anyone else, let alone a thirteen-year-old child.
Dongfang Qing saw this, walked forward, touched Ren Yingying's head and said: "With the treatment of Divine Doctor Ping, your father will definitely wake up!"
"Wow...Uncle Dongfang, I'm so scared..."
Ren Yingying hugged Dongfang Qing's arm and burst into tears.
It would be better if no one comforted me, but once someone comforted me, I couldn’t help crying even if I didn’t feel wronged.
What’s more, it was Ren Yingying who suffered a blow.
"It's okay! It's okay, the leader will definitely wake up!"
Dongfang Qing picked up Ren Yingying and applied a little force with his hands, and Ren Yingying's crying stopped abruptly.
Dharma protectors Xiang Tianwen and Qu Yang glanced at Ren Yingying , sighed, and said, "Ping Yizhi, can't he wake the leader up?"
"The leader's internal energy was conflicting, and his meridians were disordered. He witnessed the death of the leader's wife with his own eyes, and was extremely sad. He used his internal energy and suffered a severe blow to the back of his head. He was unable to wake up for a while and could only rest quietly."
Ping Yizhi sighed slightly. Even though he had superb medical skills, he could not be sure when the leader would wake up.
I'm afraid it will be difficult in a short period of time.
Upon hearing this, the two Dharma protectors fell silent.
The Sun-Moon Divine Sect has existed for hundreds of years. Without a leader to suppress it, chaos is bound to occur.
"The leader has been injured and will not be able to regain consciousness in the short term, but the Sun Moon Divine Sect cannot be without a leader. We should appoint a new leader to take charge of the Sun Moon Divine Sect!"
"How can we appoint a new leader when the leader is still here?"
"But if the leader cannot wake up, how can he lead the Sun Moon Sect?"
" Even if the leader wakes up, I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in a short time!"
“…”
The nine elders were arguing constantly, and even the two guardians were helpless at the moment.
After all, the Sun and Moon Sect cannot be suppressed without a leader.
"Everyone!" Elder Tong suddenly spoke. The whole hall fell silent and everyone looked at Elder Tong.
"The deputy leader of the East is still here, and he is being cultivated by the leader and made his successor. We should fulfill the leader's wish and make the deputy leader of the East the leader!"
Listening to Elder Tong's words, everyone looked at Dongfang Qing.
At this moment, Dongfang Qing was holding Ren Yingying in his arms. He pretended to be slightly stunned and said, "Although I am very familiar with the affairs of the sect, what virtue and ability do I have to inherit the position of the leader?"
"I think we should choose a suitable person from among the two guardians. What do you think?"
Dongfang Qing didn't want the position of the leader. If he hadn't had a mission, he would have gone to practice long ago and wouldn't be talking nonsense here.
As for giving the position of leader to Xiang Tianwen and Qu Yang, it was naturally because he understood their personalities very well.
Xiang Tianwen is a talented person, but he has no intention of competing for the position of leader. He is loyal to Ren Tianxing and regards Ren Tianxing as his master. He will definitely wait for Ren Tianxing to wake up.
Elder Qu Yang, who loves vocal music and rarely pays attention to church affairs, is also a die-hard fan of Ren Tianxing.
Otherwise, Ren Tianxing would not have appointed Dongfang Bubai as the deputy leader.
Ren Tianxing would naturally not let go of someone who is ambitious, capable, and whose fighting power is inferior to his.
Dongfang Qing pushed them a little to dispel the two guardians' doubts about him.
I must let everyone know that I am not someone who will do anything to become the leader!
"No! Everyone has witnessed the talent and martial arts of Vice Leader Dongfang, and he has been appointed as the successor by the leader. I am willing to support Leader Dongfang."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
The elders who were on good terms with Dongfang Qing spoke at the same time, while the other elders looked at the two Dharma protectors. If the Dharma protectors did not fight, they would naturally speak up to support Dongfang Bubai.
After all, this is a responsive achievement and will definitely be reused in the future.
"Brother Dongfang, please don't refuse!" Qu Yang suddenly spoke up when he saw this, "The leader appointed brother Dongfang as the deputy leader, and he must be training him as a successor. I respect the leader's opinion."
"I'm sure that when the leader wakes up, he won't blame us!"
Hearing Qu Yang's statement, Xiang Tianwen was slightly stunned. He looked at Ren Yingying in Dongfang Bubai's arms and said in the same way: "Brother Dongfang, please don't refuse. I, Xiang Tianwen, naturally respect the leader's opinion."
The two are die-hard fans of Ren Tianxing, and Ren Tianxing has relied heavily on Dongfang Bubai in the past. Promoting him to be deputy leader is obviously intended to train a successor.
In other words, even if Ren Tianxing did not have this intention and had other plans, it would be impossible for others to know it given his current appearance.
After all, on the surface, Ren Tianxing relies heavily on Dongfang Bubai.
Moreover, the leader's daughter is so close to Dongfang Bubai, and letting Dongfang Bubai become the leader will also be of great benefit to Ren Yingying.
"Brother Dongfang, please take over as the leader!"
"Brother Dongfang, please take over as the leader!"
All the elders no longer had any second thoughts at this moment, and they all spoke up to support Dongfang Bubai.
After all, Dongfang Bubai is the deputy leader, and the entire Sun Moon Sect was managed by Dongfang Bubai in the past. Now he has the full right to succeed the leader.
“Brother Dongfang, even if you don’t consider yourself, please consider Yingying!”
As if seeing that Dongfang Bubai was about to refuse, Xiang Wentian suddenly spoke up to stop him.
Dongfang Qing looked down at Ren Yingying, and then said helplessly: "In this case, I will take over the position of leader, and I also ask the two guardians and nine elders to assist me."
"When Master Ren recovers in the future, I will return to Master Ren."
…
Three days later.
In the square in front of Chengde Hall, believers stood with solemn expressions.
At a glance, the entire square was filled with people standing in neat rows, as if it were a military parade. A quick glance showed that there were no less than ten thousand people, and the momentum was terrifying.
These people are all followers of the Sun and Moon Sect, and they have gathered together for the past three days.
Standing here today is the ceremony for Dongfang Bubai to succeed to the throne.
“Boom boom boom…”
Amid the sound of drums beating.
Dongfang Qing was dressed in a green robe, holding Ren Yingying's hand, and walked out of Chengde Hall, step by step towards the platform.
His long hair was casually tied behind his head, dancing in the wind. His pretty face was full of seriousness, and his eyes were full of heroic spirit, revealing a bit of arrogance.
At first glance, it looks like an emperor holding a divine weapon, looking down on all living beings.
On the high platform five or six meters above the ground, there is a huge throne, which is the symbol of the succession ceremony and the position of the leader.
Before the huge throne, the two Dharma protectors and nine elders all stood and bowed.
Dongfang Qing's expression remained unchanged. He took Ren Yingying's hand and walked towards the throne, and then sat on the throne.
"The Sun and Moon Sect is invincible. The Eastern Sect Leader is a man of both literary and martial virtues. For thousands of years, he has unified the martial arts world!"
"The Sun and Moon Sect is invincible. The Eastern Sect Leader is a man of both literary and martial virtues. For thousands of years, he has unified the martial arts world!"
Seeing Dongfang Qing sitting upright, tens of thousands of people roared in unison, their voices shaking the nine heavens, even the clouds in the sky were dispersed.
Amid the shouting, the two guardians and nine elders all bowed in worship.
The same thing happened to tens of thousands of people in the entire square.
The scene was grand, just like the supreme ruler of the world ascending to the throne.
Seeing such a scene, even Dongfang Qing, who only wanted to become an immortal, felt a bit heroic and wanted to dominate the martial arts world and hold endless power.
"The dog system tempted me again! It's useless, and it doesn't even taste good to be the emperor!"
Dongfang Qing dismissed the idea of dominating the martial arts world from his mind and slowly raised his hand.
The entire square was still in an instant, without a single sound.
Everyone's eyes were turned towards the Eastern Patriarch on the platform with fervent reverence.
"From today on, the daughter of the previous leader, Ren Yingying, will be the Saint of our Divine Religion. Seeing the Saint is like seeing the leader in person. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed without mercy!"
