Chapter 257: Terms Of Sharky For Wind Thunder Sect
Within the depths of the building, there was a very powerful and stubborn aura.
This aura was like an ancient tree, leaving behind traces that could not be gotten rid of.
The surroundings were filled with this aura, making it quite obvious.
As such, he walked forwards.
He had never come to this place before—even though he had been in the Wind Thunder Sect, he had never come here as an Outer Court Disciple.
After all, this was the core of the Wind Thunder Sect, and it had the central figures of the Wind Thunder Sect.
Sharky had only been an Outer Court Disciples and had a low status; he did not have any qualifications to come here.
"How sparse..." Sharky muttered to himself.
Compared to the outside, the spirit qi in here was very dense, and it was at least ten times denser than outside.
There were Spirit Formations in the surroundings that locked down spirit qi, making it so that it did not dissipate. This created a man-made cultivation wonderland.
Just by staying here for a long time, one would be affected by the spirit qi and progress.
Those who actually cultivated here would receive even greater gains, and they would reach higher levels even easier.
After walking around, Sharky could not help but nod.
Ahead, there was a spirit garden, from which the fragrance of spirit grasses wafted over.
This spirit garden was not very big, but it was filled with high grade spirit grasses; it was on a completely different level to the spirit garden that Sharky had looked after.
This made sense—under the influence of such dense spirit qi, it was to be expected that the spirit grasses nurtured would be quite extraordinary.
Comparatively speaking, the spirit garden that Sharky had looked after in the past was just an ordinary spirit vein.
As such, it was normal that there was such a big difference.
Sharky examined these differences before continuing onwards towards the place he had sensed.
Soon, he reached a large hall.
The hall was very big, and there were many small and extricate Spirit Formations around it.
After coming here, Sharky did not sense any changes; there were no traps or restrictions.
It was as if this was just an ordinary place with nothing special.
Sensing this, Sharky could not help but feel a bit surprised.
Ahead, there was a man standing there.
It was a very tall middle-aged man who was dressed in gray robes, and he looked quite ordinary.
Because his back was towards Sharky, Sharky was unable to see what he looked like and could only see a big silhouette.
Under the faint light, the man’s figure was quite tall and straight, but his hair was speckled with white.
Hearing Sharky’s footsteps, the man raised his head but did not do anything else.
Sharky did not directly act and instead walked forwards and stood next to the man.
After reaching there, he could clearly see the things ahead.
Ahead were rows of memorial tablets, which seemed to commemorate the previous Sect Masters.
"You came slower than I thought," the middle-aged man said without looking over, "I thought that you would reach here faster."
"I had a look around, which took up some time," Sharky said as he shook his head, "After all, I used to be a disciple of the Wind Thunder Sect and felt some nostalgia. It’s just that the Sect Master did not go to recuperate from his injuries and instead waited for me here."
"It’s no use trying to recover from my injuries."
Standing there, the middle-aged man shook his head and said softly, "You should be able to sense the situation in my body. Given my condition, there’s no use trying to recuperate.
"In actuality, even if you didn’t come, I would still pass away after a few years. 5 years ago, I was already a half-dead person," he spoke softly, resolving Sharky’s confusion.
"So it’s like that," Sharky nodded and understood some things.
Before, he had been wondering about some things.
There was evidently something wrong with the Sect Master’s strength.
His cultivation was not low, and even if it was not as high as Sharky’s, it would only be a bit lower. The Sect Master would be at the peak of Enlightened Master, a step away from True Lord.
Even if such a person was not on the level of Sharky, with the Guardian Formation and the support of all the disciples, he should not have been defeated so easily.
As such, Sharky had felt quite confused.
It seemed that the Wind Thunder Sect Master had long since been heavily injured and could not recover.
As such, he naturally had not been able to withstand Sharky’s attack and had been easily defeated.
Otherwise, if the Sect Master had been at his peak, even if Sharky wanted to take him down, it would have taken him a great deal of effort.
"That big battle five years ago..." Sharky nodded before saying, "Now that things have come to this, what does the Sect Master want to do?"
"What can I do?" the middle-aged man gave a bitter smile as he shook his head, "I’m already someone about to die and am not a match for you; what could I possibly do?"
"This matter was brought about by the Wind Thunder Sect," Sharky said calmly, "I started out from the Wind Thunder Sect and would not like to do anything to it."
"What do you want then?" the middle-aged man turned as he looked at Sharky.
"First, use your position as Sect Master to grant me the position of Elder," Sharky said softly.
"And I hear you have a beautiful daughter, who is unmarried till now. So you betrothed her to me."
"And then pass the position of Sect Master to me in the future," Sharky explained his terms.
"That’s it?" the middle-aged man felt quite surprised.
Honestly speaking, Sharky’s terms were much better than what he had expected.
Having an enemy become the Sect Master of their sect sounded quite shameful, but this was better than their sect being annihilated.
After all, in the end, Sharky had come from the Wind Thunder Sect and was an Inner Court Disciple.
With this connection, it was not that difficult to accept Sharky becoming the Sect Master.
And about her daughter, well since she is quite stubborn. After getting into Sharky’s bed, her stubbornness will be broken, and she will become gentle.
Although, as a father, it was not good to think about her daughter like this.
But what can he do? She has already crossed the age of twenty years. Currently she is twenty five years old.
But she is still not ready to get married, before today, he still accepted her choice.
But now, since Sharky was asking for her. It was a good excuse for him to get her married.
And moreover, from an unknown person, to make his son-in-law as the Sect Leader was a good choice.
"This is your best choice," Sharky said as he looked at the Sect Master calmly, "If you don’t agree, I will have to destroy the Wind Thunder Sect and establish a new sect."
"Compared to that, isn’t it better to each take a step back? I will preserve the Wind Thunder Sect’s reputation and name and become the new Sect Master, and husband of your daughter, while you will step down as Sect Master."
"I’m someone who is about to die; stepping down as the Sect Master is not a big deal, and betrothed my daughter to you is also quite easy."
The Wind Thunder Sect Leader fell silent for a few moments before nodding, "But how are you planning to deal with Elder Song and the other Elders?"
"They are all Elders of the Wind Thunder Sect," Sharky said softly, "And after I become the Sect Master, they will all become my subordinates, so I naturally will not do anything to them. As long as they are willing to lower their heads, I will spare their lives and not even touch their positions as Elders."
Essentially all of them were at the Bone And Soul Refining realm, and by Sharky’s standards, they were almost at Enlightened Master.
There were not many such people within the entire Yue Kingdom.
The reason why the Wind Thunder Sect had been an overlord in the Yue Kingdom was partially because of these Elders.
If Sharky just killed all of them, although that would be the easier thing to do, the Wind Thunder Sect’s strength would be reduced by half.
Since he was going to become the Sect Master, they would all be forces under his command.
As such, as long as they were willing to submit to him, Sharky did not mind letting them continue to live.
Hearing Sharky’s words, the Sect Master’s expression relaxed and said, "Then what about the Wind Thunder Sect’s disciples?"
"Those who are willing to stay can stay; those who want to leave, I won’t stop them either," Sharky said calmly, "But the rules in the Wind Thunder Sect should change, and some people in power should be removed."
After the Sect Master changed, some rules needed to be changed as well.
In the past, many of the True Legacy Disciples had been chosen on the basis of their families.
Now that Sharky was going to take power, things naturally would not go on like this.
Of course, during this process, there would be some blood shed, but Sharky did not mind.
Standing there, the Wind Thunder Sect Master nodded before sighing.
He did not raise any objections and had tacitly agreed to Sharky’s terms.
After all, given that he was on the weaker side, to be able to preserve his life and the Wind Thunder Sect was enough.
"I agree," the Sect Master nodded.
Only after a while did they walk out together.
