Chapter 1509 This Feels Nice
“It’s true that Zhang Yumeng is an elder of the sect, but in essence, her becoming the Sect Master is against the rules. What contribution has she made to the sect?”
“Even if she is a newly promoted outstanding disciple, her talent is insufficient.”
“Now the life and death of the sect are at a crucial moment. We should be led by Elder Hanlong, not by Zhang Yumeng, a newcomer.”
A small number of elders shook their heads.
Some people sighed, “Does our Sect Master want a child who hasn’t grown up to be the new Sect Master? He’s risking everyone’s lives.”
As everyone spoke, Mengmeng’s eyes gradually widened, but then she calmed down.
She didn’t want to speak or express her feelings.
But Zhang Han didn’t like it.
He frowned slightly, and then he swept the surroundings with his gaze before he said in a slightly cold voice, “Who cares about being the Sect Master of your Sword Sect? Is this t.i.tle so precious to you? As the members of a sect that’s about to be annihilated, how could you still have the mood to make sarcastic remarks?”
“What did you say?!”
The elders who had spoken were enraged.
Judging from Zhang Han’s tone, he sounded like he was not a disciple of the Sword Sect.
“What are you staring at?” Mu Xue sneered. She pointed at Mengmeng and said, “She is the First Princess of Mount New Moon. You want her to be your Sect Master? Dream on.”
“Hahaha, no matter how young Mengmeng is, you can’t look down on her.” Chen Changqing sneered and said, “Our Eldest Lady is really at the G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage. She has become the number one cultivator on the south coast and defeated cultivators at the Void-refining Realm Middle Stage. You may not have seen such apt.i.tude before. Appointing her as the Sect Master of the Sword Sect is enough to show that Grand Elder Tian Chen appreciates her. What’s more, Mengmeng hasn’t promised it yet. I advise you to stop being so b.i.t.c.hy.”
“Hold on a second!”
“What did he say?”
“Zhang Yumeng, the strongest cultivator on the south coast, is at the G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage? That’s impossible. How could she fight across a realm?”
Many people were shocked. Even the elders that had spoken were confused.
They had just voiced their objection, but now they were speechless.
“G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage…” Heavenly Hound was in a daze.
“How could she be so powerful as a cultivator at the G.o.d Transformation Realm Middle Stage?
“Exactly what is her background?
“She’s the First Princess of Mount New Moon. Where is that place?”
“That’s right. I didn’t say yes,” Mengmeng said calmly.
“Don’t be impulsive.” Elder An exhaled a long breath. “Now, I announce the second order of Grand Elder Tian Chen. Zhang Yumeng will be the Sect Master. If anyone disobeys, they will be expelled from the Sword Sect.”
There was an uproar in an instant.
Hearing this, Zhang Han shook his head slightly. He thought for a moment and said, “Mengmeng, it’s up to you.”
In fact, Zhang Han did not leave directly, which showed his att.i.tude.
He still hoped that Mengmeng could be the Sect Master.
In his opinion, knowing how to help a force survive in such a desperate situation would help Mengmeng grow.
But it was mainly up to Mengmeng.
“I beg Zhang Yumeng to become the Sect Master of the Sword Sect and save the sect from danger.”
Elder An got down on one knee in front of everyone.
“I implore Zhang Yumeng to be the Sect Master.”
First Elder Hanlong also dropped to his knees, his voice sincere.
Since the two backbones of the sect were acting like this, the others followed suit.
Gradually, more and more people knelt.
More than half of the people who objected followed suit.
There were also a small number of people who stood still without making a sound.
Under everyone’s gaze, Mengmeng moved and walked step by step to the elders who had just objected and were standing there.
“Do you disagree?” Mengmeng asked.
Seeing the young girl’s beautiful big eyes, especially her determined expression, an elder lowered his head and knelt on one knee. “We pay our respects to Sect Master.”
“What about you?”
Mengmeng walked to another person.
“Yes, I disagree,” the man said. “You can be an elder, but you won’t be recognized by me as the Sect Master.”
After expressing his opinion, he seemed to have nothing to lose. He said in a low voice, “You are too young. What qualifications do you have to be the Sect Master?”
At this very moment, Zhang Han didn’t speak, and neither did Zi Yan. Everyone looked at Mengmeng, waiting for her decision.
“Very well. People of different moral convictions cannot work together. First Elder Hanlong, send him away.”
Mengmeng nodded slightly and walked to the next elder.
“You have no right to expel me. What right do you have…”
“Shut up!”
First Elder Hanlong got up. After hearing the words, he was so angry that he waved his hand to suppress that elder and took him away. A moment later, he came back alone and cupped his hands to Mengmeng, saying, “He’s been expelled.”
“Alright.”
Mengmeng had no intention of continuing to ask those opposing elders one by one. She said bluntly, “From now on, I’m the Sect Master of the Sword Sect. You can be unconvinced and leave now if you want. If you disobey me afterward, I’ll show no mercy.”
Two elders left without looking back.
Most of the people who opposed it just now were kneeling on one knee and had nothing to say.
“But I have a question.”
An elder looked up and said, “You are the First Princess of Mount New Moon. Does our Sword Sect belong to the Ling Sea Sword Sect or Mount New Moon?”
“The Sword Sect and Mount New Moon are two different forces.” Mengmeng shook her head and then added, “However, I’m from Mount New Moon, and the Sword Sect is mine, so it’s almost the same. It’s up to you to understand.”
When Zhang Han heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He was very optimistic about Mengmeng’s acts. Her methods were swift and decisive, just like what he had done in the past.
Zi Yan, Chen Changqing, Zhao Feng, and the others all sighed with emotion.
Now, not only had Mengmeng grown up, but she had also become the Sect Master of a sect in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.
At the thought of this, everyone felt impressed.
Those opposing elders had left, and those who stayed were the ones who agreed or followed the trend.
Gradually, the crowd got down on one knee and bowed to the Sect Master.
“Sect Master Zhang!”
Heavenly Hound was still a little dazed. “Zhang Yumeng has become the Sect Master.”
“Sect Master…” Hun Xuan said with some disappointment, “My brother has also lost his chance.”
This thought only flashed through her mind.
The most important thing at the moment was how to get through the difficulties.
“Rise, all of you.”
Mengmeng blinked and came up with an idea. She said, “Elders, come and have a meeting.”
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The elders in the distance arrived at the same time.
“What do you think of this matter?” Mengmeng got straight to the point.
Hanlong pondered for a moment, glanced at Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei, and said, “I think we need to figure out the situation. Has the Crimson Sunglow Sect only attacked the Sword Sect or are they launching an all-out war? How are the Heavenly Evil Sect and the Authentic Martial Arts Sect going to deal with it?”
“It’s not easy to turn the tables.” Elder An sighed and said, “It’s useless to know the situation. The Heavenly Evil Sect can’t wait to see us wiped out, and the Authentic Martial Arts Sect won’t get involved. I think our current plan is to escape from the Vast Heaven Star. Although it’s very hard to make it happen, it’s the only way to survive.”
“We can’t have the Sword Sect destroyed. We have to carry on. No matter how difficult the situation is, we have to get through it.” An elder said, “When necessary, you and I can sacrifice our lives for the sect.”
“First Elder is right.”
Before more people could speak, Mengmeng said, “The most important thing now is to understand the situation. It just so happens that we have people from the Authentic Martial Arts Sect and the Heavenly Evil Sect on our side. Aunty Xue, Aunty Yue, I want you to go to the Heavenly Evil Sect and the True Martial Arts Sect to get to know the situation. If possible, it will be best to form an alliance. The Crimson Sunglow Sect is very powerful. Now, the Sword Sect only has this few core members left, which is not enough.”
“Yes, Sect Master.” Mu Xue smiled and bowed.
Mengmeng was a bit speechless.
The young girl was very nervous now. She was watching Zhang Han out of the corner of her eye all the time.
She was worried that there was something wrong with her decision.
But since Zhang Han didn’t say anything, and the others just stood by and watched, Mengmeng had no choice but to bite the bullet.
“I need to take a look at the map,” Mengmeng said.
Hearing this, Elder An waved his hand and conjured up the Vast Heaven Star Map.
“We should be here, in the 37th War Zone, which is the closest to the Heavenly Evil Sect and the Authentic Martial Arts Sect. The team should station there and wait for news,” Mengmeng said.
“Alright, there aren’t that many people from the Crimson Sunglow Sect in the war zone right now. We don’t know where Crimson King is either, and it’s not appropriate for us to stay here for too long. Let’s go to the 37th War Zone for now.” Hanlong nodded.
The group set off again.
They boarded the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps and aircraft.
A few days later, they arrived at the 37th War Zone.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Two aircraft flew in different directions.
Those were the teams led by Mu Xue and Leng Yue.
In the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p’s room.
“Dad, why didn’t you help me out?”
Lying on the bed, Mengmeng showed her soft and lovely side as she said, “You didn’t give me any advice. You just stood by and watched. I may not be your sweetie anymore. Zhang Han, you’ve changed. You’ve changed too fast.”
Zhang Han said, “Hey. I haven’t changed.”
He said with a wry smile, “The key is that what you said is very good and the strategy is amazing. Since I couldn’t find a way to refute it, I didn’t need to give any advice. I feel that whatever I say would be unnecessary, okay?”
Hearing this, Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and asked, “Really?”
Amused, Zi Yan patted her slender leg and said, “You can’t rest a.s.sured just because you’re doing things on your own? Don’t think that your dad is always right. Sometimes, he’s also muddle-headed. In my opinion, you’ve done well enough. Even Elder Hanlong or Elder An can’t be better than you.”
Hearing this, Mengmeng laughed and said, “Sometimes I’m just worried. Alas, it’s too tiring to be the Sect Master. I have to attend to all kinds of affairs every day. It’s even more tiring than being a cla.s.s representative.”
Hearing this, Zhang Han quickly said, “If you think it’s too tiring, we’ll just leave it behind. Let’s go back and have a good rest.”
Zi Yan glared at him grumpily and said, “How can she go back on her promise? Besides, the Sword Sect is in a critical situation now. It’s too irresponsible to leave directly.”
“That’s right. Dad, you’re too cold-hearted. Mummy is the best.” Mengmeng nodded.
“I was just kidding. Look at you two. You’re echoing each other.” Zhang Han’s face darkened. “All right, you shouldn’t just stay here. Sect Master Mengmeng, you’ve got a lot of things to do every day. Patrol the place and check on the disciples in your sect.”
“Humph!”
Mengmeng snorted softly, got up from the bed, and walked out happily.
The moment she left the room, she looked relaxed.
After she walked out of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, she put her hands behind her back and quickly patrolled the camp.
“Hey, Yun Han? Are you enjoying the scenery?” Mengmeng said with a smile.
“Yes, I’m looking at the scenery. You look very beautiful today.” Yun Han waved his hand, indicating that Mengmeng could sit next to him.
“How can you talk to me like that?” Mengmeng glared at him.
Yun Han was stunned, and then he hurriedly added, “Ahem, Sect Master, um, do you want to sit down and enjoy the scenery together?”
“There’s no need for that. I need to go somewhere else.”
Mengmeng strolled away.
Moments later.
“Heavenly Hound.”
“Uh, Sect Master.” Heavenly Hound remembered that the last time he didn’t call the Sect Master, he lost two spirit treasures as punishment, which made his heart ache.
He had learned his lesson this time, so he called Mengmeng Sect Master from a distance.
Mengmeng came over and patted Heavenly Hound on the shoulder.
“Good job. Continue to cultivate. The sect needs a talent like you. Yes…”
After that, she left.
Heavenly Hound was left dumbfounded.
Walking in the camp, Mengmeng was in a very good mood.
“It’s not bad to be a Sect Master.”
There were many things to do every day. Of course, there were also leisure times.
Because there were many people she knew in the Sword Sect, being the Sect Master was still very interesting. If it wasn’t for the bad situation, she would probably be even more delighted.
