"Su Li is gone."
Xiao Kuang and Tu Zhan wanted to pursue him, but they were stopped by Guo Wei.
"Forget it, let him go!" Guo Wei shook his head.
Xiao Kuang looked at Guo Wei in confusion and asked, "Supreme Elder, why let the tiger return to the mountains? It will cause endless trouble!"
"That's right!" Tu Zhan also looked at Guo Wei, his expression very puzzled.
Guo Wei said sternly, "You don't understand the terror of a Martial Emperor. Everyone who can become a Martial Emperor has their own trump card. If you force him into a desperate situation, you will definitely face a backlash. Moreover, Esteemed One's current situation is not very good."
As soon as Guo Wei finished speaking, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Supreme Elder, how are you?"
Guo Wei and Xiao Kuang were both greatly shocked when they saw the Supreme Elder injured. They quickly stepped forward to support Guo Wei.
Zhang Hao quickly took out a healing Dan and handed it to Guo Wei's mouth, saying to him, "Supreme Elder, take this. This is a healing Dan that I refined myself, it should be good."
"What? You can also refine Dan?"
Tu Zhan, Xiao Kuang, and Guo Wei all looked at Zhang Hao with strange expressions.
The three of them naturally knew that Zhang Hao was an Array Dao Master, but they didn't know that besides being an Array Dao Master, Zhang Hao was also an Alchemist. This simply shocked the three of them. If he only knew a little, that would be one thing. But from the effect of the Dan, Guo Wei could tell that the grade of this Dan was definitely not low. This made Guo Wei feel even more incredible.
However, the three of them didn't ask too many questions. They naturally knew that everyone has their own secrets. Asking too many questions would be detrimental.
After the Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect left, the followers of the Heavenly Demon Sect also left. Soon, the main force of the Heavenly Demon Sect all departed. The crisis of the Hao Xian Sect was now resolved.
After half an hour passed,
Guo Wei's expression was originally somewhat pale, but after swallowing Zhang Hao's Dan, his complexion improved significantly.
"It is indeed a top-grade healing Dan! Although Esteemed One has seen many Dan, this is the first time Esteemed One has seen a Dan with such strong medicinal effects," Guo Wei said with emotion.
"Haha, it's just an ordinary healing Dan."
Zhang Hao laughed it off. At this moment, he tried to keep a low profile. He regretted accidentally letting it slip just now. Zhang Hao was the type of person who quietly made a fortune and didn't like to be high-profile.
Guo Wei gave Zhang Hao a deep look but didn't expose him. He just said to an Elder next to him, "Elder Su, go immediately and notify all Inner Disciples and Elders. Pass down my Supreme Elder's order for everyone to gather at the Hall of Gathering Virtues. Just say that Esteemed Elder has something important to announce."
Zhang Hao, Tu Zhan, and Xiao Kuang's hearts trembled.
The Hall of Gathering Virtues was rarely used to summon the high-level members and Inner Disciples of the Hao Xian Sect. Important matters were usually announced here only. Moreover, Guo Wei had solemnly issued the Supreme Elder's order, which was rare in the history of the Hao Xian Sect.
Zhang Hao had already vaguely guessed something in his heart at this moment.
An hour later, except for the Disciples and high-level members of the Hao Xian Sect who were away, all the Elders, Deacons, and Inner Disciples of the Hao Xian Sect were gathered in the Hall of Gathering Virtues.
Guo Wei stood on the high platform, his tiger eyes scanning all the Disciples of the Hao Xian Sect below. He said with a resounding voice, "Today, our Hao Xian Sect repelled the invaders from the Heavenly Demon Sect. This has boosted the morale of our Hao Xian Sect and spread the prestige of our Hao Xian Sect... (10,000 words omitted below)"
Zhang Hao watched with great admiration. As expected, Guo Wei was a seasoned veteran! He could talk for so long without a script. He was no less impressive than those so-called leaders on Earth.
After half an hour,
Guo Wei announced, "Now, in my capacity as Supreme Elder, I announce the abolition of the Sect Leader status of the Hao Xian Sect's traitor Cao Jun, and the establishment of Tu Zhan as the Sect Leader."
"Ah! Elder, I can't do it!" Tu Zhan looked at Guo Wei in shock.
Tu Zhan felt it was too sudden. He didn't expect Guo Wei to suddenly announce him as the Sect Leader, and he was a bit stunned at the moment.
Guo Wei looked at Tu Zhan seriously and said, "Tu Zhan, the Hao Xian Sect is currently in a difficult situation. You are taking on this responsibility in a time of crisis. The position of Sect Leader is a responsibility and a burden, not a benefit. Don't you want to contribute to the Hao Xian Sect?"
Tu Zhan's expression trembled. He quickly lowered his head, knelt on the ground before Guo Wei, and said respectfully, "Supreme Elder, Tu Zhan dares not."
Looking at Tu Zhan kneeling before him, Guo Wei nodded and said with satisfaction, "Alright, don't be too modest. In the entire Hao Xian Sect, if anyone is most suitable to be the Sect Leader, it's you. Fifteen years ago, Esteemed Elder was also old and muddle-headed, misled by Cao Jun. Esteemed Elder mistakenly believed his slander and abolished your position as a candidate for Sect Leader, allowing Cao Jun to become the Sect Leader. Esteemed Elder knows that you have resentment in your heart. However, at that time, it was a done deal, and Esteemed Elder was helpless. Fortunately, it's not too late now."
Guo Wei handed the token symbolizing the Sect Leader of the Hao Xian Sect to Tu Zhan, and said solemnly, "Esteemed Elder hopes that the Hao Xian Sect can flourish under your leadership."
Although Tu Zhan felt the heavy burden on his shoulders, seeing the token symbolizing the Sect Leader in his hands, it was impossible for him not to be moved at all. After all, this position was once his.
"Alright, next, I, Guo Wei, announce the second important decision. Zhang Hao will become the Young Master of our Hao Xian Sect," Guo Wei said in a deep voice.
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Guo Wei's words indeed stunned many people. Of course, this also included Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao had guessed that Guo Wei would give the position of Sect Leader to Tu Zhan, and just as he said, at this moment, in the entire Hao Xian Sect, there was indeed no one more suitable to be the Sect Leader than Grand Elder Tu Zhan. But the identity of Young Master was something Zhang Hao had not anticipated.
After all, a Young Master is not a Fu Zi. A Young Master is a more respected position than a Fu Zi. If a Fu Zi is a candidate for future Sect Leader, then a Young Master is the sole successor. It is equivalent to the future successor. This identity is absolutely incomparable to what Cao Yang was back then.
"Supreme Elder, you cannot!"
Zhang Hao quickly stood up to stop him.
Li Tie, Liu Mengyao, and others were also among the Inner Disciples. At this moment, they had recovered from their shock, and a hint of a smile appeared on their faces.
Zhang Hao had suddenly become the most respected Young Master of the Hao Xian Sect. This was going to be interesting.
Although the Inner Disciples present were a bit surprised, everyone was convinced. If Cao Yang became the Fu Zi of the Hao Xian Sect based on his Father Cao Jun's connections, Zhang Hao relied on his true strength. Killing the traitor Cao Jun of the Hao Xian Sect, killing the Ten Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, killing the Twelve Judges. If these were just internal struggles, killing the four Half-Step Martial Emperors of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and even repelling the Elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Zhang Hao had a share of the credit in all of these.
Therefore, in this True Martial Continent where the strong are respected, all the Inner Disciples were very convinced of Zhang Hao's strength.
