Chapter 722 You are not worthy of being the Sect Master
Leonel looked at the elders of his own sect with unwillingness and disbelief, as if seeking an answer before his death. The other high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Sect stood still as well. Even Elder Fiery Dragon and Chester, did not expect the elder to directly kill their own Sect Master for Lachlan.
The Elder Sect Master let out a cold snort, looking at Leonel with disappointment and disdain. “Leonel, you are not worthy of being the Sect Master! For your own personal gain, you repeatedly tried to kill the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon. Did you think I, as the elder, didn’t know about it? When we discovered the Spiritual Vein earlier, you hesitated, which was a great disappointment to me. That was forgivable, but now that the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon has successfully walked out of the Candle Dragon Sanctuary and gained the recognition of the Dudrar Dragonseal Blood, you still dare to act against him. For the future of the sect, I… can’t let you stay!”
As the words fell, a wan smile appeared on Leonel’s face. Before his death, a hint of regret seemed to surface in his eyes. His own narrow-mindedness led to his demise!
At this moment, all the high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Sect were silent. Even those who had originally planned to attack Lachlan hesitated. The Elder Sect Master swept his gaze across the scene and exuded the pressure of a powerful Void Reclusion expert.
“All of the Sun Moon Sect members, listen to me!” he declared. “From now on, we at the Sun Moon Sect will follow Lachlan as our leader. His words represent the will of the Dragon Ancestor and are absolute commands. While the Temple of the Dragon Ancestor has collapsed, as long as the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon is in this world, he will lead us back to the ancient glory of the Sun Moon Sect!”
With that, the existence of the Void Reclusion expert suddenly knelt down before Lachlan. “Elder Sect Master Vinnie Stuart pays respects to the Descendant of the Dragon Ancestor!”
The sight of a respected elder kneeling caused a ripple effect, with all the members of the Sun Moon Sect following suit. “We pay respects to the Descendant of the Dragon Ancestor!”
Witnessing this scene, Lachlan was surprised. He had not expected the Elder Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect to help him kill Leonel, let alone lead all the high-ranking members in pledging their allegiance to him.
“Senior! Everyone, please get up! I cannot bear this,” Lachlan said, quickly going to assist Vinnie after a brief moment of shock.
The Elder Sect Master, Vinnie, sternly said, “As the Descendant of the Dragon Ancestor, how could you not bear it? From now on, everyone in the Sun Moon Sect will follow your every command. You are our new Sect Master!”
Lachlan shook his head with a bitter smile. “Being a Sect Master is not my forte. I’m not good at managing sect affairs,” he thought, adding, “I won’t be of much use as the Sect Master. Will it be that easy for you to dispose of me?”
Hearing this, Vinnie hesitated for a moment, then told Lachlan, “If you don’t want to be the Sect Master, then we will honor you as the Young Master of the Sun Moon Sect. The Sun Moon Sect still belongs to you. You only need to focus on improving your strength, without worrying about sect affairs. However, if you have any commands, including from me, the members of the Sun Moon Sect will obey without question.”
With that said, Vinnie turned to Chester and said, “Yin Tai Chi, you will serve as the acting Sect Master. Elder Fiery Dragon, you will assist Chester in managing the affairs of the sect. Any objections?”
Chester’s spirits lifted upon hearing this and he quickly said, “Thank you, Elder!”
Elder Fiery Dragon also bowed and said, “I will obey the orders of the Elder and the Young Master.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Alright, that’s settled! We’ll discuss the details later. Next, there are some troublesome matters to handle,” Vinnie said, locking eyes on several people present.
“No… No, Elder! We will never seek revenge for Leonel!” Some of them felt the terrifying killing intent directed at them, their faces turning pale with shock.
However, Vinnie was ruthless and with a few muffled sounds, those close to Leonel and loyal to him were killed.
Afterward, a small-scale cleansing took place within the Sun Moon Sect. This included Leonel’s offspring and those loyal to him, who were all removed by Chester and Elder Fiery Dragon.
The Elder Sect Master’s intention was clear: there could be no more variables within the Sun Moon Sect that could pose a threat to the Descendant of the Dragon Ancestor.
That day, the Sun Moon Sect held a “Respecting the Master” ceremony, with all the members present. Elder Sect Master Vinnie publicly announced Lachlan’s status as the Young Master and the change in leadership.
After the ceremony, Vinnie secluded himself in a cave within the sect. Along with Lachlan, Elder Fiery Dragon, and Chester, they discussed the affairs of the sect.
“Now, the Sun Moon Sect is declining, and I, as the Elder Sect Master, am powerless to change that. There is nothing to be proud of,” Vinnie said. “Fiery, Chester, there’s no need to be too restrained. Some things need to be clearly discussed with the Young Master.”
“Yes,” the two of them nodded.
They proceeded to explain various aspects of the Sun Moon Sect to Lachlan, including the sect’s secrets. When they mentioned the lack of the Dragon Ancestor’s baptism, a hint of regret showed on Vinnie’s face.
“But we believe that under the leadership of the Young Master, the sect can still achieve glory, even without the Dragon Ancestor’s baptism,” Vinnie said, looking at Lachlan.
However, Lachlan shook his head, revealing a faint smile. “Senior, you don’t need to regret it. Despite the lack of the Dragon Ancestor’s baptism, the Sun Moon Sect will have an even more powerful inheritance under my guidance. When my soul cultivation strength becomes stronger, I will pass down a divine technique to the Sun Moon Sect through soul imprint, allowing every eligible disciple to practice it.”
