Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 908: Chapter 482: Eighth Life: When in Doubt, Ask the Grand Elder! (2)

The other Hall Masters were slightly moved upon hearing this, surprised that the Instructor Hall Master, who has always stayed out of worldly affairs, gave Lu Yuan such high praise.

It is well known that the Instructor Hall Master is addicted to alcohol, always drunk, and even if there was a fire under him, he could still drink unbothered.

In the past, when other disciples were promoted to True Disciple, he always maintained a detached attitude and rarely spoke.

"Even the Instructor Hall Master, this old drunkard, has spoken up. It seems Lu Yuan is indeed a material worth nurturing."

The Alchemy Hall Master couldn’t help but ponder to himself.

However, just as the people were slightly inclined toward Lu Yuan, an elder with a fierce look and surrounded by intense Evil Qi suddenly spoke.

"Lu Yuan has indeed made significant contributions to the sect and should be rewarded."

"But the status of a True Disciple is too precious. If we casually grant it to an Outer Disciple, I think it’s somewhat inappropriate."

He wore a dark red Blood Robe, exuding murderous aura, like a malicious spirit crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

A common person would be scared lifeless just by one glance and would have nightmares for nights!

The other Hall Masters’ expressions changed slightly upon seeing him, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Because this person was none other than the Law Enforcement Hall Master, Yan Xing!

The Law Enforcement Hall is a crucial part of the sect, responsible for punishing those committing serious offenses or hunting down sect traitors.

It is said.

Within the three peaks and five halls, the Law Enforcement Hall’s status is second only to the Main Peak and the Supreme Peak.

Yan Xing is decisive and ruthless.

Under his influence,

The methods of the Law Enforcement Hall have become increasingly cruel over the years; many regular disciples tremble with fear at the mere mention of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Now, with one word from him, the whole situation changed instantly.

"Elder Yan is right, even though Lu Yuan has made great contributions, his aptitude is still too limited. He needs to be honed for several more years before qualifying as a Sect’s True Inheritor."

The Talisman Hall Master immediately voiced his agreement.

"Indeed, True Disciples focus more on power and talent. Lu Yuan now only has First-Layer Spiritual Sea Cultivation. If we allow him to become a Sect’s True Inheritor, he might struggle to convince the public in the future."

The Beast Taming Peak Master also nodded, expressing concern over the decision.

"What do you mean, struggle to convince the public? Last year, your Beast Taming Peak let an influential networker become a Sect’s True Inheritor. Can this really convince everyone?"

Seeing this unfold, the Artifact Refining Hall Master sneered and mocked without hesitation.

He spent several hundred years in the Cyan Cloud Sect and well understood the ulterior motives of Yan Xing and the others.

Yan Xing is very ambitious and controls the Law Enforcement Hall, which is a crucial instrument of power. Within the Cyan Cloud Sect, he often gets his way, and even the Sect Master finds it hard to handle him.

The reason for their opposition is simply to collude with each other, hoping to make their disciples the Sect’s True Inheritor.

Then gradually take control of sect affairs to marginalize or seize the Sect Master’s position.

But compared to the outspoken Zhou Xiong, the Cyan Cloud Sect Master Han Qingxuan remained as calm as a still lake.

He didn’t intervene in the dispute between the Beast Taming Peak and Zhou Xiong, instead, he turned to look at a Daoist-Robed elder who sat in a grandmaster chair, eyes half-closed, seeming to be resting.

"Supreme Elder, what are your thoughts on this..."

Han Qingxuan asked softly, with a tone of respect.

Within the upper echelons of the Cyan Cloud Sect, an unwritten rule has always been in place.

When unable to make a decision, one could consult the Supreme.

The term "Supreme" refers to the Supreme Peak and also to the Supreme Elders within it.

Because in the Cyan Cloud Sect, only those in the Nirvana Realm can become Supreme Elders.

They hold a revered status, and their word decides the sect’s fate!

Thus, whenever there’s a major dispute, it ultimately falls to the Supreme Peak to decide.

"What Yan Xing said is not without reason. Lu Yuan is just an Outer Disciple, his foundation is too shallow."

"Letting him rise to the top in one step might cause dissatisfaction among many disciples and make him complacent, which wouldn’t benefit his future path."

The Daoist-Robed elder opened a slit of his eyes, his voice low and hoarse, yet carrying an authoritative tone.

"Of course, Lu Yuan has made significant contributions to the sect, and he should be rewarded for it to keep the disciples’ morale high."

"In my opinion, since Lu Yuan was able to kill Lin Hu, let him participate in this Inner Sect competition. If he emerges victorious, then let him be promoted to True Disciple."

After speaking, the Daoist-Robed elder closed his eyes again, seemingly falling back into meditation.

But Zhou Xiong’s face turned extremely unpleasant upon hearing this.

This move by the Daoist-Robed elder seemed impartial and selfless, but in reality, it was ugly.

Because winning the Inner Sect competition has always guaranteed promotion to True Disciple.

If Lu Yuan could take first place in the Inner Sect competition, what more reward does he need?

This was clearly an act of bullying!

However, as this matter related to the contest between the Law Enforcement Hall and the Main Peak lineage, even the Hall Masters couldn’t change much, so they had to let it go.

"What the Supreme Elder said is true."

Yan Xing heard these words and smiled slightly.

The Inner Sect disciples are powerful, with not only Ninth-Layer Spiritual Sea Cultivation but also some prodigies who have entered the Soul Palace First Layer.

Even if Lu Yuan could kill Lin Hu, he’s at best First-Layer Spiritual Sea strength. How could he compete with a Soul Palace Realm expert?

By then, who gets the True Disciple title will be up to him!

"Since Hall Master Yan Xing and the Supreme Elder both strongly recommend this method, let us proceed accordingly."

Han Qingxuan nodded calmly, not voicing opposition.

But just as Yan Xing and the Daoist-Robed elder thought the matter was settled, Han Qingxuan changed his tone, proposing another condition.

"The True Disciple title is significant and cannot be easily given away."

"But given Lu Yuan’s contributions to the sect, he must be richly rewarded. Surely Hall Master Yan Xing has no objection to this?"

Han Qingxuan glanced at Yan Xing, speaking with undeniable authority.

"These decisions are up to the Sect Master."

Sensing the dissatisfaction in Han Qingxuan’s tone, Yan Xing did not want to openly break with him and reluctantly agreed.

With the discussion concluded, everyone gradually dispersed.

Meanwhile,

Lu Yuan had just returned to the sect and saw a tall woman waiting at the mountain gate.

The woman was tall, dressed smartly, with a long ponytail and a hint of heroism in her eyebrows.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, she took swift steps toward him.

"You must be Junior Brother Lu Yuan?"

"My name is Luo Xin, and I’m the third disciple of the Sect Master. You’ve made quite a contribution this time, and the Sect Master specifically sent me to wait here to take you to receive your reward."

The woman spoke efficiently.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Luo Xin."

Lu Yuan was slightly moved and immediately cupped his fists in salute.

Because he could sense that although Luo Xin’s aura wasn’t apparent and she looked like a noble lady,

In reality,

Her Spirit was vigorous and her eyes sparkled brightly, clearly marking her as a genuine Soul Palace Realm expert.

Moreover, she looked very young, only a few years older than Lu Yuan, which showed how exceptional her talent was.

"No need for formality. I’m also quite curious to meet the person who managed to kill Lin Hu and see what kind of sacred being he is."

"Now that I see you, it is indeed not just a name."

Luo Xin studied Lu Yuan carefully, expressing her amazement.

As a Direct Disciple of the Sect Master, she had seen many talents and sparred with prodigies from other sects many times.

But only Lu Yuan was like an enigmatic fog; standing right in front of her, yet giving her a feeling of being unreachable.

She only ever felt this way when facing the Sect Master or other Supreme Elders!

"This Junior Brother is truly remarkable, seemingly having his own share of not-small fortunes and creations."

"Unfortunately, he’s unlucky to get caught in the dispute between the Main Peak and the Law Enforcement Hall at such a crucial time."

Luo Xin shook her head, feeling sympathetic.

"But seeing Master’s concerned manner earlier, he probably brought out a lot of good things, so maybe there’s still some remedy."

With this thought,

She waved her hand and led Lu Yuan toward the Main Peak.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to get your reward."

"Thanks a lot, Senior Sister."

Lu Yuan felt a surge of spirit and quickly followed her.
