Chapter 921: Chapter 921

"Kai Yan, besides the Clan Leader, is there anyone else with this name?"

This news was truly astonishing to him.

He needed to confirm it.

Li Kaiyan shook his head and said, "Who dares to have the same name as the Clan Leader? Why, White-haired Brother, do you know someone by this name?"

"I was just asking casually."

Then, he looked at Li Kaiyan again, "Then what is the relationship between Emperor Haotian and Li Xuankong?"

"Brother Xuan Kong is Emperor Haotian’s son."

Ling Chen let out a cold laugh.

He basically understood now.

Why Emperor Haotian knew his mother was the Clan Leader but didn’t tell him.

And even instructed him not to tell anyone.

It was surely for the position of the Young Master!

But before, his strength was no threat to Li Xuankong!

"Well done, Li Haotian, this time, the position of Young Master is mine!"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

If it weren’t for the advice of the Seventh Elder, he wouldn’t even consider intervening in the Young Master contest.

But Li Haotian, for his own selfish reasons, concealed the truth, so don’t blame him for being ruthless!

If Li Haotian had told him earlier.

For that favor alone, Ling Chen wouldn’t have contested with Li Xuankong for the position of Young Master.

Even knowing the tenth form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, he would still give it up.

His goal was originally just to reunite with his family.

The Young Master, the Clan Leader, he didn’t care at all!

But, Li Haotian, decided to deceive him!

"White-haired Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

Li Kaiyan retreated a few steps, frightened by Ling Chen’s cold laugh.

Ling Chen shook his head and returned to normal.

Although he was a bit confused, he didn’t question further.

"By the way, White-haired Brother, don’t forget to tell me that, how a Quasi-Emperor defeated an Emperor’s Magic Skill! I cultivate very quickly!"

Li Kaiyan was very concerned about this point.

"Kai Yan, you should focus on your cultivation, I’m heading back now."

Ling Chen said goodbye and left.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Green Lotus Realm was bustling with excitement.

Almost all the cultivators of the inner clan appeared.

Except for a few who were in seclusion.

Ling Chen was also very excited.

Because soon, he would see his mother.

To confirm the position of Young Master, his mother, as the Clan Leader, was sure to be present.

At this time, it was already crowded with hundreds of people.

On the north side of the square, there was a stone platform.

With ten seats on it.

These were the positions for the ten Great Emperors of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

The others stood on the square.

The sequence was arranged according to bloodline and cultivation level.

First, by bloodline ranking.

The stronger the bloodline, the more forward the position.

Then, by cultivation level.

The higher the cultivation level, the more forward the position.

Li Xuankong, Li Qingkong, Ling Chen, and Li Kaiyan stood at the forefront of the crowd.

At this moment, Li Xuankong was smiling, extremely elegant.

Although he was excited in his heart, his facade had to remain calm and composed.

This was the only way to demonstrate the majesty of a Young Master.

Li Qingkong, Ling Chen, and Li Kaiyan were not even considered by him.

Today, he was the bright moon, the most radiant star in the sky!

All the light was emanated from him.

The crowd buzzed with discussions. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI~Fire.net

Of course, everyone already understood that the position of Young Master was destined for Li Xuankong.

Figures began descending onto the stone platform.

They were the Elders one by one.

Finally, nine Elders all took their seats.

Only the middle seat remained empty.

At this moment, the Great Elder stood up and pressed his hands down gently.

The crowd below immediately quieted down.

All eyes turned to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder was an old man with white hair but a boyish face.

"Today is the day we, the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, establish the position of Young Master. Originally, the Clan Leader should be present. However, the Clan Leader has been in seclusion for five years and is currently at a critical juncture. Therefore, we will not wait for the Clan Leader."

The Great Elder said.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen felt a wave of disappointment.

It seemed that today he wouldn’t have the fate to see his mother.

"When she went into seclusion, the Clan Leader left a decree. If she cannot come out of seclusion today, I will temporarily stand in for the Clan Leader and decide the position of the Young Clan Leader!"

The Great Elder took out a scroll.

The scroll was opened and stood aside.

Everyone could see the content of the scroll.

The role of the Clan Leader was not just to govern the clan.

These matters could be managed entirely by the Clan Leader and the Elders.

More importantly, one must have enough strength to protect the clan.

Therefore, the Clan Leader’s seclusion should not be disturbed unless it was a matter of life and death.

The Great Elder continued, "Today, there are a total of four candidates qualified to succeed the position of Young Master. Li Xuankong, Li Qingkong, Li Kaiyan, and Ling Chen. Ling Chen joined the clan four years ago. Most people should have seen him."

"The successor to the position of Young Master must possess a first-class bloodline. These four, I have personally examined, and there’s no doubt about it."

"Now, without further ado, let the contest for the Young Master begin!"

The Great Elder said.

Then, he returned to his seat.

At this time, Emperor Haotian stepped onto the stage.

He was responsible for the specifics.

Looking at the smiling face on stage, Ling Chen felt extremely disgusted.

"Everyone, the position of Young Master is the most honorable position apart from the Clan Leader. It needs to be held by the leader among the younger generation."

"Of course, it must also have our clan’s most noble first-class Green Lotus Bloodline!"

"Li Xuankong, Li Qingkong, Ling Chen, and Li Kaiyan all meet this qualification."

"Today, the four of them will compete for the position of Young Master!"

"The rules are simple, the strongest among the four will assume the position of Young Master!"

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Emperor Haotian’s voice rang out.

The people below responded one after another.

Everyone had already noticed that Li Xuankong, the son of Emperor Haotian, was basically destined for the position of Young Master.

As for the others, it was really just a formality.

"Good! Since there are no objections, the contest for the Young Master will begin now!"

Emperor Haotian smiled.

"Among the four, Li Xuankong has a cultivation level of late six-star Emperor. Li Qingkong is a late four-star Emperor. Ling Chen is an early three-star Emperor. Li Kaiyan is a World Realm second-level King!"

"Since Li Xuankong has the highest cultivation level, you will be the ring master temporarily, and others will challenge you. If someone defeats Li Xuankong, that person will become the ring master, until the strongest is determined, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd began to discuss.

Wasn’t it obvious that his son was going to become the Young Master?

What was there to be proud about?

Was there a need to smile like a blooming chrysanthemum?

Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Emperor Haotian coughed, suppressing his smile, his demeanor becoming serious and solemn.

"Li Qingkong, please step forward and challenge Li Xuankong!"

Emperor Haotian said.

"Reporting to the Ninth Elder, I am not a match for Brother Xuan Kong, I concede."

"Good, then I declare that Li Xuankong wins and will continue as the ring master."

Emperor Haotian said.

The crowd saw this and knew that the position of Young Master was already settled.

Li Qingkong was the only genius with a chance to defeat Li Xuankong.

Now, even he conceded, who else could be a match for Li Xuankong?

The crowd didn’t even consider him.

A guy who just joined the clan, without any background, and still a three-star Emperor, who usually went to a place like the Flower Immortal Sect to cultivate among a bunch of women.

What qualifications did he have to take on the position of Young Master?

Everyone quite liked him.

But his cultivation level was too low, only a King.

How could he compete with a six-star Emperor?

So, in the end, it really was just a formality.

Many people thought it would be better to just proceed directly to the ceremony to appoint the Young Master.

"Ling Chen, do you want to challenge Li Xuankong and compete for the position of Young Master?"

Emperor Haotian looked at Ling Chen with a smiling face.
