Capítulo 916: Chapter 917: The New Sect Leader of the East Japan Sword Sect
In the air, the East Japan Sword Saint’s body trembled continuously. The cloth covering his mouth and nose fell off, drifting down, and he began foaming at the mouth, his eyes turning white.
Swish.
Lin Fei suddenly descended from the air, then threw the East Japan Sword Saint to the ground.
The East Japan Sword Saint, whose power had been entirely absorbed by Lin Fei, watched as his hair seemed to lengthen out of nowhere, and his face filled with wrinkles, as if he had aged decades in an instant.
The East Japan Sword Saint was indeed quite old, several centuries at least, but with the profound power of a Martial Saint, he could maintain a youthful appearance.
Without his power, his appearance immediately reverted to its original state.
Seeing the East Japan Sword Saint suddenly age significantly, people from various sects and martial arts families were greatly astonished, not knowing why the East Japan Sword Saint would change so suddenly.
The East Japan Sword Saint lay on the ground, panting heavily, so weak that he seemed on the verge of fainting with each breath.
Now, he couldn’t even stand, foam gathering at his mouth, only able to gaze at Lin Fei with eyes full of unwillingness.
He was just a tiny bit away from leaping into the passage to enter the Underground Sword Palace and escape danger.
Unexpectedly, because of a reminder from Xiaoquan Dongliu, all his plans went down the drain.
The East Japan Sword Saint couldn’t help but regret; had he known, he shouldn’t have targeted Xiaoquan Dongliu from the start. This way, Xiaoquan Dongliu wouldn’t have harbored a grudge and sabotaged his escape plan.
Lin Fei looked at the East Japan Sword Saint on the ground, still foaming at the mouth, without sparing him another glance.
This time, Lin Fei used the Heaven-Sucking Skill on the East Japan Sword Saint because he was too cold-blooded and ruthless, even attacking his own disciple.
Moreover, keeping the East Japan Sword Saint alive would only pose a significant threat to the Qiansong family.
Therefore, Lin Fei showed no mercy to the East Japan Sword Saint.
Lin Fei walked towards Xiaoquan Dongliu and released the acupoints on his body.
Xiaoquan Dongliu did not expect Lin Fei to release his acupoints.
In fact, when the East Japan Sword Saint fired a hidden weapon at him, intending to kill him, it was Lin Fei who stood out and saved him, which was already unexpected.
One must know that he had followed the East Japan Sword Saint and captured the Qiansong family’s people.
In a way, he was Lin Fei’s enemy.
Lin Fei not killing him was already a great grace, yet saving him was inconceivable.
Now he even released his acupoints.
Thinking of his master’s ruthless nature, wanting to exterminate him completely, and comparing it to Lin Fei who saved him and released his acupoints, he suddenly realized his master was more of a life-and-death enemy.
With a thud, Xiaoquan Dongliu knelt in front of Lin Fei, face full of guilt, and said, “Young Master Xie, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have listened to the East Japan Sword Saint’s orders and captured the Qiansong family’s people.”
Because of the East Japan Sword Saint’s intent to exterminate him, Xiaoquan Dongliu no longer addressed him as master, instead calling him by name.
Witnessing Xiaoquan Dongliu kneeling to Lin Fei, people from various sects and martial arts families showed surprise on their faces.
Xiaoquan Dongliu, one of the two martial arts prodigies of the East Asian Country, had only ever knelt to the East Japan Sword Saint before. Now, having cut ties with the sword saint, he knelt to Lin Fei.
It was evident Xiaoquan Dongliu viewed Lin Fei as a lifesaver, not an enemy.
Lin Fei did not expect Xiaoquan Dongliu to kneel before him, yet he could see Xiaoquan Dongliu was at least not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the East Japan Sword Saint.
If not for his reminder about the East Japan Sword Saint trying to flee to the Underground Sword Palace, the sword saint might have escaped right under his nose.
“Xiaoquan Dongliu, stand up! I can let go of past grievances, but you must help me rescue the Qiansong family members in the Underground Sword Palace.” Lin Fei said generously to Xiaoquan Dongliu.
Xiaoquan Dongliu did not expect Lin Fei to hold no grudges at all. With gratitude on his face, he said, “Young Master Xie, I know where your senior sister and the others are, I will bring them out now.”
In the distance, the East Japan Sword Saint lying on the ground spat out a large mouthful of foam, his body convulsing, his eyes rolling back as he fainted.
Clearly, the East Japan Sword Saint didn’t expect Xiaoquan Dongliu to turn on him, hence he fainted in anger.
Xiaoquan Dongliu looked at hundreds of East Japan Sword Sect experts, their expressions uneasy, and said, “Fellow disciples, you see, don’t you? The East Japan Sword Saint even wants to kill me, do you still wish to follow him? Are you not afraid that one day he will kill you too?”
His words hit the nail on the head. Seeing the East Japan Sword Saint even wanting to kill someone as proud as Xiaoquan Dongliu, these disciples, whom the sword saint didn’t value much, naturally felt he could sacrifice them at any time for his selfish desires.
Moreover, seeing the East Japan Sword Saint lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious, he was no longer the intimidating figure he once was, more like a dying dog.
They had no hopes left.
“Senior Brother, from today, we sever ties with the East Japan Sword Saint. We are willing to follow Senior Brother, and we also wish to honor Senior Brother as the Sect Leader of the East Japan Sword Sect.” All the experts and disciples of the East Japan Sword Sect said respectfully to Xiaoquan Dongliu.
However, Xiaoquan Dongliu shook his head and said, “No, everyone should honor Young Master Xie as the new Sect Leader of the East Japan Sword Sect.”
Saying this, Xiaoquan Dongliu extended his hand towards Lin Fei.
As soon as Xiaoquan Dongliu said this, not only was there an uproar in the East Japan Sword Sect, but people from various sects and martial arts families were also greatly surprised, speaking up one after another.
“Xiaoquan Dongliu wants Young Master Xie to be the new Sect Leader of the East Japan Sword Sect?”
“A Huaxia Person becoming the Sect Leader of the first sect in the East Asian Country, this truly breaks ground as the first instance.”
“Huaxia has always been the source of East Asian culture, and now a Huaxia Martial Artist is the master of an East Asian sect, truly a good story between Huaxia and East Asia.”
Upon learning that Lin Fei was not the ambitious, sinister person the East Japan Sword Saint claimed but rather a victim of the sword saint’s schemes, people from various sects and martial arts families no longer considered Lin Fei an enemy.
They viewed Lin Fei as a skilled and upright Huaxia martial artist worthy of respect.
The experts of the East Japan Sword Sect, though they wanted Xiaoquan Dongliu to be the new Sect Leader, dared not say much due to Lin Fei’s martial prowess far exceeding anyone present.
However, Lin Fei did not agree with Xiaoquan Dongliu, saying, “Xiaoquan Dongliu, forgive me for not agreeing to this. I came to the East Asian Country only to resolve the Qiansong family’s crisis, and will soon leave the East Asian Country.”
“Moreover, you are a martial arts prodigy of the East Japan Sword Sect, and since everyone expects it, I believe under your leadership, the East Japan Sword Sect will flourish, so no one other than you should hold the position of Sect Leader.”
Hearing Lin Fei say Xiaoquan Dongliu is the most suitable choice for the new Sect Leader of the East Japan Sword Sect, everyone in the East Japan Sword Sect, including some disciples who initially had grudges against Lin Fei, felt respect for him, and they all shouted in unison, “Please let Senior Brother be our new Sect Leader!”
