The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 1523 - 1527: Useless Sect Leader
The Great Elder and the other elders never expected that when they personally came to invite Lin Fei to become the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect, Lin Fei would outright refuse their request, completely ignoring them, making the situation feel quite tricky for everyone.
Of course, they understood Lin Fei. After all, Lin Fei initially wanted to be the Sect Leader, but what was the final outcome? These elders gave him no face, so now Lin Fei had no need to give them any face either.
As for why Lin Fei acted in this way, he certainly had his own reasons.
"Lin Fei, you... whatever your conditions are, just say them. As long as you’re willing to be this Sect Leader," the Great Elder knew Lin Fei was not someone who caused trouble without reason. If he truly were to cause trouble, it would mean he had a certain motive; otherwise, he wouldn’t act this way.
Lin Fei smiled, thinking this Great Elder was rather smart, not foolish. He said, "My request is actually very simple. You just need to agree to one thing for me, one thing that must be carried out unconditionally. That’s my only condition."
"Agree to one thing unconditionally?"
This indeed made the Great Elder somewhat hesitant.
Why?
The reason is simple. If they agreed to Lin Fei, it would be akin to tolerating Lin Fei doing whatever he wanted. Could they really allow that?
"Let’s state clearly what the matter is first."
"But I haven’t thought of it yet," Lin Fei shrugged, then began feeding the Great Elder some cold medicine. "Rest assured, I promise not to harm our sect’s interests. I understand that I come from Beidou Sect, am a disciple of Beidou Sect, so I won’t do anything to betray Beidou Sect."
Hearing Lin Fei promise this, the Great Elder nodded, "We agree to this matter, but it mustn’t go against righteousness or harm our Beidou Sect’s interests. Is that acceptable?"
"No problem, Ovkaos!" Lin Fei said with a smile.
"Alright, we agree."
"Heh, this is the feeling I wanted. You old fellows, you didn’t shed tears until you saw the coffin. Initially, when I wanted the position, you kept delaying and hesitating. Now you’re begging me to take it, truly bringing trouble upon yourselves," Lin Fei said with a laugh.
Yet none of the elders really had a rebuttal, though in their hearts, their impression of Lin Fei decreased another level. After all, Lin Fei’s methods made them feel truly humiliated!
"Very well, since you agreed, when will the ceremony begin?" The Great Elder, not having a good impression of Lin Fei, asked immediately.
Lin Fei smiled, "The sooner the better, this week, perhaps. Immediately send out invitations, inviting all the sects to come."
"..."
Everyone was speechless. This obviously was an attempt to show off! To do such a thing ostentatiously was not something the elders originally supported. After all, Lin Fei’s power wasn’t enough to deter everyone. It would have been better to just handle matters quietly.
"What’s wrong? Any objections? Since it’s a sect leader change, it should be done with grandeur. Besides, we are Beidou Sect, the representative of the Righteous Path, the leader! Hurry up, Great Elder, I look forward to good news." Lin Fei smiled and turned back into the sect.
The remaining matters were handed over to the Great Elder by Lin Fei. He knew the Great Elder could certainly handle everything well, so he wasn’t worried at all. What he should be concerned about was what to do next!
Now that Lin Fei had already decided to become the Sect Leader, and it was already a settled matter, Lin Fei needed to consider the issue of strength as a Sect Leader.
Although the issue of strength was disregarded for now and ignored by the elders, Lin Fei knew that if a Sect Leader had no strength, it would truly be difficult to gain respect. After all, if he were injured or beaten, the sect’s reputation would be the one damaged.
Moreover, if his strength were insufficient, he would likely face ridicule and mockery.
Therefore, Lin Fei wouldn’t allow himself to lack strength. If he truly didn’t have a way, he wouldn’t take on this role of Sect Leader. But he had a way, had the ability to enhance his strength, which is why he agreed with the Great Elder to become Beidou Sect’s Sect Leader.
Lin Fei pondered over this as Mu Shanshan and the others resided in Qingfeng Building, while his brothers stayed with him on Panlong Mountain.
There is a significant difference between Panlong Mountain and Qingfeng Building. Qingfeng Building is a purely wooden structure, whereas Panlong Mountain, except for the tile-roofed stone-walled building at the summit where Lin Fei stayed, had many caves on the mountain. These caves were even very spacious inside, with some serving as places for cultivation, and so on.
The brothers all lived on Panlong Mountain, but Lin Fei wouldn’t allow this to last long. After all, they were threatened by the Murong Family Head to stay there; otherwise, they wouldn’t have wasted time here. Even though they could cultivate, how could a few city-dwelling people feel comfortable in such a place?
Luckily, the Mu Group was now managed by Ling Weiwei and the others, so there weren’t any issues.
Currently, Lin Fei lacked a place for cultivation. From what he knew, there was a natural source of Primordial Energy at the back mountain of Beidou Sect.
This so-called source of Primordial Energy was actually a fissure in the mountain, from which the underground Heaven and Earth Qi emanated. Because of the abundance and continuous accumulation of this Qi, the Heaven and Earth Qi at Beidou Sect was particularly dense.
Lin Fei suspected there should be a source of Heaven and Earth Qi beneath Man Mountain; otherwise, how could it be so prosperous and flourishing?
Therefore, Lin Fei left his residence and headed towards the source of Primordial Energy.
And today was a lively day for the Beidou Sect because today marked the change of the sect’s Sect Leader, and the person had been decided—Lin Fei.
The news of Lin Fei becoming the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect quickly spread. Indeed, the Great Elder did not disappoint Lin Fei and sent out numerous invitations to various powers.
Because the Great Elder felt Lin Fei was right, if there was a change in the sect leader, why hide it? It was a significant event for the entire sect.
So, the Great Elder lavishly printed many invitations and sent them out.
The entire Ancient Martial World was stirred up because the leader of the whole Ancient Martial World was changing Sect Leader again. It seems like the last change wasn’t even a few months ago, and now, in the blink of an eye, there’s another change, this...
"Is Beidou Sect planning to let everyone take turns being Emperor, and maybe it’ll be my family’s turn tomorrow?"
Many couldn’t help but doubt, after all, the change was happening too frequently, leaving them no time to react. Moreover, the new Sect Leader was Lin Fei?
Lin Fei’s strength issue has already been proven, and many powers felt Beidou Sect was truly generous, even accepting someone without merit as the Sect Leader.
