On the way back to Light Summit, Ling Yihan specially found a skilled swordsmith to reforge the Heavenly Broken Sword.
The Heavenly Sword's melting point was too high, and it required extremely high temperature flames to temper it. Ordinary fire pliers could not withstand such high temperatures and melted the moment they were placed in the furnace.
Ling Yihan took out two Sacred Flame Insignias and handed them to the swordsmith to use as a pair of fire pincers to clamp the Heavenly Broken Sword. As expected, it could withstand the high temperature and fire. After several hours of tempering, the Heavenly Broken Sword was finally reforged and reconnected without a trace of fracture.
After returning to Light Summit, Ling Yihan gave the Dragon Saber and Heavenly Sword to Yang Dingtian and told him his identity.
Yang Dingtian was already shocked when he saw the Dragon Saber and Heavenly Sword. He was even more shocked when he heard that the youth captured by Ling Yihan was actually the nephew of the Imperial Court's Grand Tutor Bayan.
On the same day, Yang Dingtian gathered all the Ming Cult members in the Sacred Flame Hall and publicly announced Ling Yihan's reward and official appointment as the Ming Cult's Holy Son. Because of the previous agreement, the Ming Cult's Left and Right Light Emissaries, the Three Guardian Kings, and the Five Rogues did not object.
Taitish had also contributed greatly by assisting Ling Yihan in completing these major matters. She was also rewarded by Yang Dingtian and appointed as the Guardian King. She was on par with White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, Golden Fur Lion King Xie Xun, and Green-Winged Fortune King Wei Yixiao.
"Taitish, the three of us have our own names. You can't not have one!”Xie Xun suddenly spoke when Taitish had just been appointed Guardian King.
Taitish didn't react in time and said blankly,""Me?"
At this moment, Ling Yihan looked at Taitish and smiled.""I thought of one. I wonder if you like it, Taitish?”
"How could Sister Taitish not like the name you came up with, Big Brother Ling?" Hu Qingyang teased.”
"Little sister Qingyang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Taitish said shyly.”
Ling Yihan laughed awkwardly and continued,""You've always liked the color purple, and this time, we captured Tuotuo in the East Sea and obtained the Dragon Slaying Saber. Why don't we just call him Purple-robed Dragon King?”
"Purple-robed Dragon King? En, this name is much more resounding than the few of us! The Saint Child is indeed intelligent!" Yin Tianzheng nodded and praised.
Taitish was also very satisfied with this title. She quickly smiled at Ling Yihan and said,"Thank you, Brother Ling!"
When Ling Yihan heard this, he smiled without saying a word.
"Haha…that's right, the title of Purple-robed Dragon King belongs to Taitish!”Wei Yixiao also joined in the fun.
Taitish looked at his smiling face and couldn't help but complain,""Wei Yixiao, you're making fun of me again!”
After everyone present raised their cups to congratulate Ling Yihan and Taitish, Yang Dingtian began to announce another matter. He would pass the position of Ming Cult's cult master to his only disciple, the Ming Cult's Saint Child, Ling Yihan.
"What is it? Cult Master, you're in your prime, so why are you stepping down from your position?”Zhou Dian was the most impatient. He immediately asked when he heard Yang Dingtian's words.
The five unaffiliated cultivators, including the cloth bag monk Say No, Peng Monk Peng Yingyu, Iron Crown Daoist Zhang Zhonghe and the cold-faced Mister Leng Qian, also voiced their objections.
" Master, you…" Ling Yihan was surprised when he heard that Yang Dingtian was going to pass the position of Sect Master to him.
Yang Dingtian gave him a look, and Ling Yihan immediately understood. He was thinking that his master's internal injuries from cultivating the Heaven and Earth Great Shift were about to act up.
Left Light Emissary Yang Xiao only looked at Ling Yihan, deep in thought, but did not say anything. Right Emissary of Light Fan Yao had always been a man of few words. Even if he objected to Ling Yihan taking over the position of the Hierarch, he was not in a hurry to voice his objection.
Among the four Guardian Kings, the purple-robed Dragon King, Taitish, was naturally on Ling Yihan's side. When she heard that Yang Dingtian was going to pass the position of Sect Master to him, she couldn't be happier!
Although Golden Fur Lion King Xie Xun was a little surprised after hearing Yang Dingtian's words, he had a good impression of Ling Yihan and didn't object to it. Instead, he felt that Yang Dingtian's actions had a deeper meaning.
The White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng and the Green-Winged Blessing King Wei Yixiao both felt that Ling Yihan was still too young and inexperienced. He was not qualified to take on the position of the Sect Master yet.
After Ling Yihan heard those opposing words, he was very unhappy. Previously, after he had won the martial arts competition with Han Qianye, he had deliberately declined the position of the Holy Son, using the matter of snatching the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heavenly Sword to silence everyone.
Now, not only did he seize the sword, but he also captured Tuotuo, an important official of the imperial court. It could be said that he had made a great contribution, which had long overshadowed the achievements of the Left and Right Envoys of Light and the Guardian King.
However, when they heard that he was going to inherit the position of the sect master, they opposed it and did not put him in their eyes at all. They had no choice but to vent their anger.
Ling Yihan looked around and said calmly,""Brothers of the cult, many of you feel that I am not qualified to be the cult master. Why?”
Yin Tianzheng couldn't help but take advantage of his seniority and said,""Saint Child Ling, although your martial arts are extraordinary and your intelligence is extraordinary, you're still too young. You weren't even born when I was dominating the martial arts world! If you were to become the cult master, I'm afraid that many of the old fellows in our Ming Cult would not be convinced.”
Wei Yixiao also nodded and said,""That's right. If you had followed Cult Master Yang for a few more years, it would have been reasonable for us to worship you as Cult Master. But now! It's still too early!"
Yang Xiao suddenly said," Eagle King and Bat King are not unreasonable. Even if you become the cult master now, even if we don't object, I'm afraid that you won't be able to mobilize the Five Banner Sect and the Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder Sect. When that happens, our Ming Cult will only lose its morale and fall apart!”
Just as Taitish was about to retort, Ling Yihan quickly waved his hand to stop her. He smiled faintly and said,""What everyone said is a little too superficial. The selection of the cult master was based on the person's ability, not his age. Could it be that only the earliest brother who joined the sect was qualified to be the sect master? On the contrary, if a brother in the cult who is young but has done many great things that have contributed to the Ming Cult cannot be put in an important position, wouldn't it be too disappointing? May I ask, who can do what I did? In less than two months, I obtained the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heavenly Sword, and even captured a high official of the imperial court? If there is, I won't fight for the position of Ming Cult's cult master!”
As soon as he said this, all the disciples who opposed him were speechless. When Yang Dingtian and Xie Xun heard this, they secretly praised him.
"Alright, I'll take it as your contribution! But if you can't beat us in martial arts, I don't think you have the face to fight for the position of sect master, right?”Wei Yixiao could not help but retort.
