Xuan Haoran called: Everyone, please be quiet. The noise gradually stopped. He glanced at everyone and then said: Everyone, let me remind everyone that Zhan Chen has three indelible achievements: First, he is willing to take risks.
His life is in danger, he has to undergo many tests, and he sneaks into the Moluo Sect to steal information for us; second
, I was able to defeat Yin Xuehai by presenting the Holy Book of the Demonic Luo Sect, which is the top level internal strength and mental skill. Thirdly, I proposed a method to crack the Heaven and Earth Wonton Formation, which bought us valuable time to capture the Demonic Luo Sect’s base camp.
For such a young talent, can't our rules make an exception for him?
As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion below, and some elders began to nod their heads, agreeing with the sect leader's opinion.
At this time, Xuantian Zeng spoke again: Sect Master, we old bones are not completely conservative. Haven't we already agreed with you to accept Zhan Chen into our sect? However, it is inappropriate for you to appoint him as the elder of the sect.
Sect elders must first have enough strength and talent to convince the public.
Xuan Haoran smiled slightly and said: As far as I know, Zhan Chen's strength is extraordinary, and he can sneak into the Demon Sect alone. Isn't this the best expression of talent?
Xuantian Zeng continued to resist: Sect Master, you said that Zhan Chen has outstanding strength, but unfortunately we have never seen it, so we can't count.
Then how do you think it can be calculated?
Unless he can defeat an ordinary elder, I'm afraid no one will be convinced if a weak person becomes an elder.
Yes, what Elder Tian Zeng said was true. At this time, many people echoed.
Xuan Haoran's face began to turn gloomy. Although he is the leader of a sect, he cannot be arbitrary in some matters. Moreover, Xuan Dao Sect is not like the Moluo Sect. The leader of the sect can cover the sky with one hand. Some democracy is still needed.
.
However, since he had already announced in advance that he wanted Zhan Chen to become the elder, there was absolutely no possibility of going back on his words, so he shouted: Okay, let's take a vote. Raise your hands to approve Zhan Chen as the elder of our sect.
As soon as the words came out, only four elders raised their hands. He said: Okay, put your hands down. He then asked: Raise your hands in disapproval.
Xuan Tianzeng was the first to raise his hands, and then four more people raised their hands after him. Seeing this result, the old man glanced proudly at Xuan Haoran, who was sitting in the main seat.
Xuan Haoran pondered for a long time and said: Well, let's drop this matter, but we have to give such an outstanding young man a chance. Let's do this. In three days, we will hold an examination for the elders of the sect. If Zhan Chen can pass the examination, you guys
There's nothing left to say.
Xuantian once said: That is natural, but for the sake of fairness, I hope that the sect leader will allow me to preside over this assessment.
Okay, Tian Zeng, I would also like to help you pick a suitable opponent for Zhan Chen.
I will. Xuantian once said with a smile.
Dismiss the meeting
After the meeting, Xuantian walked out of the Haoqi Hall with pride, like a victorious rooster. Immediately behind him, one of his trusted elders followed him and asked: Elder Xuantian, you are going against the sect leader again this time.
, he looked very unhappy.
Xuantian Zeng smiled indifferently: You don't understand, it's not just a day or two that I have been against him. His decision this time is too ridiculous. He actually wants an outsider to climb into the position of elder. I firmly disagree.
This is no longer a mess
Then what kind of opponent is Elder Xuan planning to arrange for Zhan Chen?
Haha, of course I have to pick a strong one. In short, as long as Zhan Chen loses, the sect leader will have nothing to say.
After the elders meeting, Zhan Chen was invited by Xuan Haoran again. Seeing the guilty look on Xuan Zong's face, he knew that he might have encountered some twists and turns in joining Xuan Dao Sect, so he asked: Xuan Zong, what happened?
What's the matter?
Xuan Haoran sighed and replied: Zhan Chen, I'm really sorry. Although the Council of Elders agreed to your joining our sect, it did not allow you to become an elder directly.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly and said: Master Xuan, it is enough to join your sect. Being an elder is just a luxury in itself.
No, no, no, Zhan Chen, you still have a chance.
oh
Although they all do not agree to let you become an elder directly, I still want to win an opportunity for the elder assessment. It will be held at the viewing platform of Cuiyun Peak in three days. At that time, my junior brother Xuantian Zeng will be selected from the ordinary elders.
One person will fight you. If you can win, you can successfully become an elder. I have already seen that your strength is not simple. You can show us your skills through this assessment. How about
Okay, I will definitely perform well. A glint flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes. It turns out that there is still room for change in this matter, so of course he must try his best to win the position of elder.
The treatment of elders and ordinary elite disciples is much different. Not only do they receive generous monthly salaries, they also enjoy various privileges. The most important thing is that they are very free. Unless the sect encounters major events, there is basically nothing to disturb them.
Practice.
After bidding farewell to Xuan Haoran, Zhan Chen went back to prepare for the assessment three days later. Unexpectedly, this matter spread, causing quite a controversy within the Xuan Dao Sect and attracting attention from many parties.
On the day of the assessment, many people gathered early on the viewing platform of Cuiyun Feifeng. There were elders who just happened to have free time and wanted to join in the fun, elite disciples in the sect, and even many inner sect disciples. They all wanted to see this person who was defeated by Xuanzong.
What is so special about Zhan Chen, who was recruited by the Lord under special circumstances, that he could participate in the elder assessment right after he arrived, and it was a temporary assessment specially held just for him.
It was almost time, and Zhan Chen led Su Yun up slowly from the steps below. When he looked up, he could see a flat boulder inserted halfway up the Cuiyun Peak, like Cuiyun.
The peak stretched out like a big hand, with a flat surface covering a full five hundred feet in diameter. It was not made by manpower, but was entirely the work of nature. The viewing platform was named after this, and became the venue for many major ceremonial duels of the Xuan Dao Sect.
place.
Seeing that many people had come, Zhan Chen couldn't help but quicken his pace. He climbed onto the viewing platform and saw a dozen elders sitting in the VIP seats on one side. They were all judges for this competition. Sitting in the middle of them
He is indeed a man with an old-fashioned face and full of
The serious old man. At this moment, he was looking at himself up and down with curious eyes. Zhan Chen felt a fuzzy feeling in his heart, quite uncomfortable, and thought to himself: This person is probably the big guy who is against me.
Elder Xuan Tianzeng.
At this time, he heard Su Yun next to him saying: Husband, there are so many people here today.
Her words brought Zhan Chen out of his thoughts, turned his head and said with a smile: Yes, why are you worried, honey?
Be serious and stop smiling. Do you know how nervous I am now?
Yun'er, don't worry, you will see how powerful your husband is later.
You should know that you are facing an elder level person today.
I know, just wait and see, you say you don't care, but that is to comfort your lover. In fact, Zhan Chen is also very unsure in his heart. I am afraid that Xuantian will not let him pass easily.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the other side of the viewing platform: Master Xuanzong has arrived.
What, Sect Master Xuan is actually here. Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and actually saw Xuan Haoran walking from the other side accompanied by several elders.
Fang Tian, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, saw a flash of roughness in his eyes and thought: I didn't expect that Old Haoran would be more serious this time. I have to cook well this morning.
Poor Zhan Chen didn't realize that he had unintentionally become a bargaining chip in the game between the two Xuan Dao Sect bosses. At this time, Xuan Haoran finally stepped onto the viewing platform. Everyone on the platform immediately saluted him and said,
Langdao: We sincerely welcome the arrival of Master Xuan
Xuan Haoran smiled, raised his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves, and then said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I am here today just as an ordinary audience. The purpose is to welcome Zhan Chen, who has just joined our sect, and also come to check it out."
Test his strength and whether he is qualified for the position of elder of our sect.
After hearing this, most of the people present suddenly realized that Qian Zhanchen was a person favored by the sect leader, so they looked at him differently. If he could win the sect leader's favor, he would be able to rise to prominence in the sect in the future. It was a sure thing.
Well, Zhan Chen was so lucky that many people began to envy him.
Xuantian Zeng immediately said to Xuan Haoran: Master Xuan, please come and sit down.
Xuan Haoran, however, remained motionless and said with a smile: "Junior brother Tianzeng, no need. I told you that I am just an ordinary spectator today. You are still the host of this competition."
Xuantian Zeng replied: Thank you for your love, Master. Tian Zeng will do his best to uphold justice. So he raised his head again, turned to everyone, and said loudly: Now, I announce that the elder examination is about to begin. Please invite Zhan Chen to come on stage.
Zhan Chen heard the call and was about to walk to Taichung when he heard Su Yun next to him again telling her with concern: Be careful. He turned his head and gave her a comforting look and said: Don't worry.
When he came to the center of the viewing platform and stood still, Zhan Chen looked calm. At this time, he heard Xuantian Zeng on the rostrum shouting expressionlessly: Feng Tianming, come up and fight against Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen saw a middle-aged man with a resolute face and bright eyes standing up on the rostrum and walking towards him. He immediately felt that this was probably a very strong opponent.
At the same time, there was an uproar among the surrounding crowd watching the battle. Everyone knew that Elder Feng Tianming's strength was considered superior among ordinary elders. Is it possible for Zhan Chen to cross a higher level to challenge?
