As the leader of the Sword Sect, Shen Jian is also the only disciple of Ao Changkong, the number one martial artist in the northwest.
How glorious he once was!
But today, Ao Changkong died, and he also voluntarily resigned from his position as the leader of the Sword Sect, carrying his master's body on his back alone, and left in embarrassment.
At this moment, everyone stopped moving and silently watched Shen Jian go away.
I don’t know if everyone is watching Shen Jian leave, or watching the old man on his back...
"Sect Master...what does this mean?"
An elder from the Sword Sect said hesitantly.
Yu Wenhan sighed softly and said: "The general trend in the northwest has been determined. It is destined that the clan alliance will dominate the martial arts in the northwest. With the strength of our Sword Sect, we are still unable to resist."
"The reason why the sect leader resigned from the position of sect leader at this time is probably the old sect leader's intention."
"Didn't the Sect Leader just tell you where the Sword Sect is going? Joining the Sect Alliance... is the only way out for the Sword Sect..."
Yu Wenhan's voice was a little trembling. Perhaps it was because the Sword Sect declined and became a vassal of other forces that made him sigh, or maybe it was because the death of Ao Changkong, the founder of the Sword Sect, shocked him.
All the powerful swordsmen present fell silent.
Even if some people have other thoughts, facing Lin Xiao with such terrifying strength, they can only bury all the thoughts in their hearts.
Yu Wenhan ignored the others in Jianzong and walked towards Lin Xiao as he was minding his own business.
Lin Xiao naturally noticed him, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips.
Soon Yu Wenhan walked up to Lin Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, we meet again."
"I just didn't expect that our third meeting would have such a result..."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "You have something to do with me?"
In fact, Lin Xiao already knew Yu Wenhan's purpose of coming.
After all, Ao Changkong had already told him that after his death, he would choose to let Jian Zong join the clan alliance.
This is the only way to protect Jianzong. If Jianzong is unwilling to surrender to the clan alliance, the only outcome will be destruction!
"Mr. Lin should have already guessed my purpose, why bother asking..."
"Now that the Sect Alliance is so powerful, our Sword Sect neither dares nor has the intention to be an enemy of the Sect Alliance. Before our ancestor died, we told the Sect Master that he should resign as the Sect Leader, and the Sword Sect surrendered to the Sect Alliance."
"As for who will be the leader of Jian Zong next, it is up to you, Mr. Lin, to decide."
Yu Wenhan took a deep breath and said.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Senior Ao told me this decision."
"It's just that I'm still curious. If I kill Senior Ao, don't you Sword Sect people hate me?"
At the end of the sentence, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
What he needs is loyalty, not someone who may betray him at any time.
If someone in the Sword Sect is still hostile to Lin Xiao because of Ao Changkong's death, then Lin Xiao will naturally not mind burying him here.
"I don't hate it. I can see that the old sect leader was very happy during the battle between Mr. Lin and the old sect leader."
"And if my guess is wrong, even without this battle, the old sect leader's time will be numbered."
Yu Wenhan met Lin Xiao's eyes and said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "How did you see that?"
"With your late Grand Master's strength, you still can't see through Senior Ao's situation."
