The next day, Dongfang Yan summoned all 19 disciples of the Fire Sect to the main hall of the Fire Sect.
Dongfang Yan, who was sitting in the main hall with a happy expression, stroked his beard and said,""Today, I have called you here because I have something important to announce. It's about the candidates for the sect leader of my Fire Sect.”
“。。。。。。”
As soon as Dongfang Yan finished speaking, the hall was filled with buzzing discussions.
Throughout the entire hall, other than Long Jun, who was still expressionless, although they knew that it was impossible for them, most of the disciples still had a look of anticipation on their faces, hoping that they would be the dark horse.
Only Zhu Can straightened his clothes and stood there smugly. There were also a few disciples who had a good relationship with him who were already prepared to congratulate him. He was the eldest senior brother of the Fire Sect, and he had completed the mission given by the Sect Master some time ago. In Zhu Can's heart, this position of the sect master was definitely his.
Only Si Qi stood in the crowd with a thoughtful look on his face. He glanced at the silent Long Jun. Si Qi thought to himself, I just went to see my master yesterday, and today, my master is going to announce the position of the sect leader of the Fire Sect. In addition to Long Jun's cultivation speed that makes people jealous, Si Qi knew that the sect leader was very likely to be his cold eighteenth brother.
Seeing that the disciples were almost done with their discussion, Dongfang Yan coughed lightly, signaling for them to quiet down. He announced loudly,""The sect leader of our Fire Sect is: Long Jun."
"Eh?" "Hua!"
Voices of surprise and confusion came from the disciples in the hall. They were surprised that their master would give the position of the sect master to this new, unknown eighteenth brother. He was really a big dark horse. One had to know that the sect master was the next fire envoy. What puzzled them was that some of the disciples didn't even remember the name Long Jun. It wasn't until the senior and junior brothers who knew Long Jun introduced them that they suddenly realized that they had such a junior brother.
Si Qi, on the other hand, had an expression of 'I knew it'. After seeing his master announce it, he congratulated Long Jun.
"Thank you."
It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy. Becoming a sect master's disciple meant that his status would increase by a huge step. For Long Jun, who had sworn to stand out, this was something that he was happy from the bottom of his heart. It was just that after so many years of wandering, Long Jun would not easily reveal his true expression.
Although the disciples in the hall were somewhat disappointed, it was not unacceptable. After all, most of the disciples only hoped that they would be selected. As for not being selected, they were already prepared for not being selected.
Only Zhu Can stood there with a red and green face. He looked at his junior brothers as if they were laughing at him. He felt suffocated and couldn't breathe. Suddenly, he shouted,"I'm not convinced." The Fire Sect disciple beside him was shocked.
"Oh?" Dongfang Yan's face darkened when he heard Zhu Can's roar. He said in a sinister tone,""Why are you not convinced?"
Zhu Can felt a little better after he let out a loud roar. When he heard Dongfang Yan's sinister words, he knew that he was in trouble. However, he still forced himself to say,"Master, as the eldest disciple of the Fire Sect and the only disciple in the Fire Sect who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, this disciple believes that this disciple is the most suitable candidate to be the sect leader's disciple, not Long Jun.。。”
Dongfang Yan's face turned even darker when he heard that he was the only Original Infant Stage disciple of the Fire Sect. Without waiting for him to finish, he said angrily,""You still have the nerve to say that? Tell me how many years you've been in my Fire Sect, it's been a full thirty years, but where's your cultivation? You're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and you haven't even entered the middle stage yet. Look at the disciples of the other divisions, like Duan Ru Long, Lan Yu, Zhangsun Wuji, Leng Shuang 'er, Qian Mao, and Mulan, who have only entered the sect for a dozen years, and their cultivation is already above yours. You still have the nerve to brag to me.”
As he spoke, Dongfang Yan also released his pressure, making it hard for everyone to breathe. By the time Dongfang Yan finished speaking, several disciples had already fallen to the ground, unable to withstand the pressure. Even those who were standing had turned pale.
Although Zhu Can was in the Nascent Soul Stage, his face was pale because he was the main target of Dongfang Yan's anger.
The only ones who looked normal were Si Qi and Long Jun. Si Qi had relied on his unique cultivation method to gather the fire element vital qi outside his body on the surface of his body and barely blocked Dongfang Yan's pressure. On the other hand, Long Jun had relied purely on the advantage of his fire element body to block Dongfang Yan's pressure. If it was someone who was similar to Dongfang Yan but did not cultivate a fire element cultivation method, Long Jun would have long collapsed.
Dongfang Yan, who was the one who released the pressure, looked at Si Qi in surprise. He did not expect Si Qi to be able to withstand his pressure so easily. He secretly noted it down in his heart.
Dongfang Yan saw that it was about time. If he continued to suppress it, not many disciples would be able to stand, so he withdrew his pressure and said sternly,""I won't talk about you. Look at Long Jun. He has only entered the sect for a year and has already formed his golden core. Tell me, how long did it take you to form your golden core?”
Zhu Can, whose face was already pale from the pressure, turned even paler when he heard that Long Jun had only used a year to form his Golden Core. When Dongfang Yan asked him how long it would take for him to form his Golden Core, his pale face turned red in an instant. He mumbled,"Ten years."
With Dongfang Yan's cultivation base, although Zhu Can spoke softly, he could still hear him clearly. After hearing that, he said angrily,""Ten years! You still have the cheek to say that you are worthy of being the sect leader's disciple. If it was fifty years ago, I would definitely kill you with one palm strike.”
What Dongfang Yan said was not a lie. Fifty years ago, the mention of the Inferno Master Dongfang Yan's name had scared the guts out of many Taoist masters. Back then, Dongfang Yan was not as self-disciplined as he was now. When he was still at the Form Synthesis Stage, his temper was unusually explosive. In addition, the Fire Sect's cultivation method was extremely lethal. He was really popular for a time.
The total number of cultivation periods that cultivators of the Central Plains had to go through were: Xiantian stage, Jindan stage, Yuanying stage, Body Integration stage, Tribulation stage, Dacheng stage, and rising stage. Among them, the seven flames of the Dark Religion's Fire Sect's 'Seven Door Lock Flame Technique' were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which corresponded to these seven realms.
Seeing that Zhu Can was no longer speaking, Dongfang Yan waved his hand and said,""This matter is settled. Seven days later, I will invite the Cult Master and the others to attend the ceremony of the sect leader's disciple being conferred. You must make more preparations when you return.”
"I dare not."
"Yes." Dongfang Yan nodded and said," Then go back and get ready. The others can leave. Zhu Can, Long Jun, you two stay here for a while."”
"Yes, Master." "This disciple will take his leave."
After everyone left, Dongfang Yan looked at the two of them with a serious face and said,""Zhu Can, I've already decided that Long Jun will be my Fire Sect's Sect Leader's disciple. I hope that you can assist Long Jun well and not have any disloyalty.”
Although Dongfang Yan did not say otherwise, Zhu Can felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart. He hurriedly replied,""Disciple will remember Master's teachings.”
"Yes." Seeing that Long Jun had agreed, Dongfang Yan didn't care whether Long Jun was sincere or not. He knew that Long Jun wouldn't be able to do anything with him around. He said to Long Jun,""Long Jun, although you are the disciple of the Fire Sect, Zhu Can is still the eldest senior brother of the Fire Sect. If there is anything in the future, the two of you should discuss it, understand?”
"Yes, Master." After saying that, he cupped his hands at Zhu Can and said,"Eldest Senior Brother, please guide me."
Although he was unhappy, Zhu Can did not dare to show it in front of Dongfang Yan. He quickly replied with a smile,"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. In the future, I still need the help of the sect leader's junior brother.”
"Haha, that's more like it." Dongfang Yan's loud laughter rang out from the main hall of the Fire Sect." Cult Master, two guardians, and four envoys, please come to the Fire Sect seven days later to attend the ceremony to confer the title of the Sect Leader's disciple.”
