Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 365 - 184: Divine Power Fruit of Heaven-Deceiving Techniques, Master of the Dragon Gate, World in Turmoil (Part 2)

Chapter 365: Chapter 184: Divine Power Fruit of Heaven-Deceiving Techniques, Master of the Dragon Gate, World in Turmoil (Part 2)

But before he could rush into the pillar of starlight, his fist was intercepted by someone.

It was... You Chen.

"Senior Brother You!? Have you gone mad? He killed the Sect Leader!"

Rong Jin was in disbelief. Senior Brother You, the most loyal to the Dragon Gate, was actually protecting the man who killed the Sect Leader?

What made him even more incredulous was.

You Chen merely glanced at Nan Xuan’s corpse, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He clasped his hands in salute and bowed deeply.

"You Chen, pays respects to the new Sect Leader."

"Senior Brother!!"

Rong Jin looked at You Chen in shock.

But what surprised him even more was that two more figures came rushing from afar. Rong Jin recognized them; they were both Fourth-Grade experts of the Dragon Gate.

"Paying respects to the new Sect Leader!"

They bowed in salute just like You Chen.

Rong Jin was dumbfounded, feeling like his worldview, nurtured through years of cultivation, was crumbling at this moment.

"Senior Brother, why on earth did you do this?"

You Chen glanced at Rong Jin, "By the Sect Leader’s decree, the one who kills Nan Xuan shall be the new Sect Leader."

"But he killed the Sect Leader!"

"The Sect Leader was Nan Xuan!"

You Chen’s words froze the excitement on Rong Jin’s face instantly. He looked at You Chen in disbelief, and only when You Chen nodded to confirm the truth did he slump slightly, disheartened.

Xu Guang quietly observed You Chen, realizing that this Profound expert held a high status within the Dragon Gate.

He was somewhat surprised; he originally thought that to become the Master of the Dragon Gate, even with Li Qian’s backing, he would have to exert considerable effort after personally slaying Nan Xuan.

Yet unexpectedly...

It seemed like...

Half the task was resolved?

Li Qian had said that the most powerful within the Dragon Gate were now the six Fourth Grade Profound experts.

Now, three of them stood behind him, making it seem assured that he would become the leader of the Dragon Gate.

...

On the outskirts, those who could truly see Xu Guang and Nan Xuan’s battle were very few.

The only ones who could clearly see it were General Wei and Nan Xuan with his Dragon Map Divine Techniques that obscured the heavens and covered the sun.

They looked astounded.

More and more people arrived at the scene, eager to witness the power of the Fourth Grade Divine Techniques.

But the battle between Xu Guang and Nan Xuan ended so quickly that it left many bewildered, causing them to wonder if the two had reconciled.

"It’s the old senior of the Dragon Gate! That is Lord You Chen!"

"And Lord Rong Jin too."

As more Dragon Gate experts were recognized by the surrounding people, all wore a puzzled look. Could it be that the Dragon Gate intended to take action against Xu Guang?

But then...

"Our new Sect Leader of the Dragon Gate is taking his position. Please, fellow Jianghu comrades, inform all factions that the inauguration ceremony will take place three days from now."

You Chen’s booming voice, accompanied by waves of Qi Force, echoed far into the distance.

Everyone’s mouths fell open, as if confronted with something unimaginable.

A new Sect Leader of the Dragon Gate taking the position?

An unbelievably shocking thought flashed across their minds.

Could it be...

The new Sect Leader is... Xu Guang!?

This speculation jolted everyone present, leaving them parched and their throats tight.

What... is really going on?

...

The people from Jiufeng Mountain arrived quickly, reaching just as Xu Guang was withdrawing from the pillar of starlight.

Jin Qishan spotted Xu Guang in the crowd immediately, his expression complicated, but was surprised when Xu Guang didn’t even glance at him, instead turning toward General Wei and saying softly.

"Senior Brother You, I leave the rest to you."

Jin Qishan, feeling slighted by Xu Guang’s rudeness, instinctively stepped forward to scold him.

But a single sentence from You Chen completely stopped him in his tracks, leaving him doubting his own ears.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader."

Sect Leader!?

Jin Qishan was thunderstruck.

He looked at Xu Guang, unable to utter a word, then at You Chen.

"Senior Brother You..."

You Chen turned to Jin Qishan, "Elder Jin, you arrived swiftly."

Jin Qishan abandoned any pretense of formality, directly asking, "How could Xu Guang..."

You Chen eyed Jin Qishan blandly, seeming as if he had anticipated Jin Qishan’s purpose all along.

"The Sect Leader has long been one of our Dragon Gate members, cultivating the Celestial Dragon True Skill, enduring hardships through these years to uproot traitors from our midst."

Though Jin Qishan heard every word clearly, putting everything together left him utterly bewildered. What did they mean by enduring hardships?

Uprooting traitors?

Their Sect Leader was the traitor!?

"Sect Leader Fu Zhuoxiao?"

You Chen admitted frankly, "He had long been replaced by Nan Xuan from the Celestial Destiny Sect. Sect Leader Xu made it his mission to eliminate this fiend and preserve the embers of our Dragon Gate, enduring hardships. We have already decided to elevate Xu Guang as our new Sect Leader of the Dragon Gate."

Jin Qishan: ...

No, just a while ago, there was such an uproar, so many from the Dragon Gate died—Xu Guang’s arrogance shook the entire Zouchuan Dao.

And now you tell me, all of it was just an act?

Do you take me for a three-year-old child?

But since this was an internal matter of the Dragon Gate, whether Jin Qishan believed it or not was entirely inconsequential to You Chen.

What Jin Qishan most desired now was to truly understand Xu Guang.

Due to the enmity between Xu Guang and the Dragon Gate, nearly everything about Xu Guang had been thoroughly investigated, and he understood Xu Guang’s character.

However, some things learned from others could never match personal interaction.

You Chen no longer paid attention to the stunned Jin Qishan, simply continuing to speak.

"The inauguration of the new Sect Leader of our Dragon Gate will be in three days. Since Elder Jin is here, please inform the elders of Jiufeng Mountain and ensure they attend the ceremony."

The ascension of the Dragon Gate’s Sect Leader has always been a major event, drawing countless people from Zouchuan Dao to the spectacle, which promises to be a grand affair across the entire Chuanbei Prefecture.

Jin Qishan left in a daze, unaware of how he walked out of the Earth Realm in Chuanbei Prefecture, his spirit appearing utterly drained.

He recalled Master Fuqing’s previous reprimands.
