Astral Apostle-Chapter 470: Fight for Position and Visit (2)

Ding Shixiong nodded in agreement, "It's important to find the sect master, but if we can't find him, will the sect not do anything else for a day? We can't put down everything just for a single matter."

Most of the sects in the martial world did not care about blood inheritance, so everyone did not value the daughter of the sect master that much.

The sect was where everyone's interests were linked. It was rarely a family inheritance. In the eyes of many core members, the survival and development of the Wu Mountain Sect was far more important than the life and death of a sect master.

Shen Yue was furious, but there was nothing she could do to everyone.

Although her father was the sect master, the sect did not have a monopoly. Moreover, Shen Sanqiu's whereabouts were unknown at this moment. As a girl with shallow martial arts, she could not order these elders and martial uncles around at all.

"In that case, I'll temporarily act as the Sect Master. Does anyone have any objections?"

Ding Shixiong did not want to beat around the bush anymore. He patted the chair and spoke directly.

"I think this matter is feasible. Shixiong has done his best for the sect. He can take on a huge responsibility."

The elders discussed for a while and nodded in unison.

Seeing this, the disciples led by Qi Zhiyu could not object anymore and could only accept it gloomily.

"Alright! Then I'll temporarily replace the Sect Master of the Wu Mountain Sect. This is an emergency. If I can find my senior brother, I'll return the position to him."

Ding Shixiong suppressed the joy in his heart and declared loudly.

He looked around at everyone, cleared his throat, and said seriously,

"There are three things that need to be resolved urgently. Firstly, we have to find the whereabouts of the Sect Master. If he's dead, we have to see his corpse. Secondly, we have to observe Chen Feng's attitude. Although the Sect Master was defeated by this person, this is the result of his willfulness. There's really no need for my sect to provoke this person again, but we have to be more vigilant. Since I'm the substitute Sect Master, I'll set an example. If this person denounces me, I'll step forward to negotiate..."

Although he said that, he was actually just expressing it to the disciples.

It had been so long since the assassination of the famous figures in the martial world, but Chen Feng had never expressed anything, so Ding Shixiong did not think that this murderer would really come.

"The last thing... is to find the secret manual of the Drifting Clouds, Misty Rain technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Ding Shixiong paused for a moment before continuing shamelessly,

"This is the ultimate technique of my Wu Mountain Sect. According to the ancestral teachings, it can only be cultivated by the previous sect masters. It has always been kept by my senior brother. Now that he's missing, I have to find this secret manual to prevent it from being lost... In my opinion, even if my senior brother carries the secret manual with him, he will definitely have made a copy and hid it somewhere in the sect..."

He had been coveting this ultimate technique for a long time. As soon as he became the acting sect master, he could not wait to exercise his reasonable right to practice this technique.

This way, even if Shen Sanqiu did not die and came back to take over the sect again, he could not change the fact that he had practiced the sect master's ultimate technique. He would have the capital to fight for the position as well.

Just as Ding Shixiong was fantasizing, a disciple suddenly stumbled into the hall, his face filled with fear.

"Not good! That Death Beckoning Yama King, Chen Feng, has come knocking!"

"What? This fellow really came?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

"How can this be!" Ding Shixiong suddenly stood up, his expression changing drastically.

He was really here to seek trouble?!

Damn it, why did choose such a time when he had just become the sect master to come!

This fellow is deliberately making things difficult for me!

"... Disciples, follow me out to face the enemy."

Ding Shixiong gritted his teeth. Although he was panicking, he forced himself to calm down and strode out of the hall.

With a powerful enemy coming, the others could not be bothered to chat about anything else and followed him.

...

Everyone quickly walked forward and quickly arrived at the gate.

There were two groups of people facing each other here, surrounding more than a hundred disciples of the Wu Mountain Sect. They were blocking the door, all holding long swords and pointing them at the group of burly men opposite them, but no one dared to attack first.

Ding Shixiong looked over and immediately saw the leader of this group, Chen Feng. His burly muscles were really too eye-catching.

He composed himself and probed,

"You're Chen Feng?"

"Yes, this grandpa is precisely the one. Which one of you is in charge?"

Zhou Jing leaned on his spear and ignored the hundred or so people in front of him as he shouted.

Ding Shixiong braced himself and cupped his fists, "I'm Ding Shixiong, currently the acting sect master of the Wu Mountain Sect. May I know why you're here?"

"Hmph, you're really hypocritical. You already know the answer!"

Zhou Jing's eyes widened as he shouted,

"A few days ago, a group of experts from the martial world came to kill Grandpa. Your Wu Mountain Sect's Sect Master was among them. That Shen guy escaped from my spear. Unfortunately, he met my brother and was already killed! However, this matter is not over. He's the Sect Master, and his actions are considered part of your sect. Grandpa has recently freed up his hands, so I can settle the score with you!"

With Chen Feng's apostle personality, he probably disdained to hide the news of Shen Sanqiu's death and even took the opportunity to cause trouble. Therefore, Zhou Jing simply reported it, but there was no need to explain who did it.

Just as he spoke...

When the Madam heard the news of her husband's death, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"How dare you kill my father?!"

Shen Yue screamed emotionally. She drew her long sword and was about to rush forward to fight to the death.

Seeing this, the disciples beside her hurriedly pulled her back, not wanting her to die.

"So what if he's killed? Could it be that he's the only one allowed to kill and no one else is allowed to kill him? If you want revenge, Grandpa will be waiting for you at any time. I'll see your ability to slit my neck."

Zhou Jing's expression did not change as he lied through his teeth.

When Ding Shixiong heard this news, apart from being shocked and furious, he was also instinctively a little happy. He quickly calmed down and put on an angry expression.

"You killed my sect master. What else do you want? Did you specially come here to show off and bully my Wu Mountain Sect?!"
