Chapter 35: The Raid

Mo Fengxue's words stirred up a wave of ripples at the scene.

The Sect Master of the Pijia Sect was also slightly stunned, but he still maintained a smile on his face.

He believed that someone would surely come forward to refute Mo Fengxue.

Yet, the next moment, the Sect Master of the Pijia Sect was completely stunned.

"My Kongshan Temple also supports a vote; we are willing to choose Lin Ping as the leader."

The Sect Master of the Pijia Sect knew clearly that although Kongshan Temple had always been low-key and not widely known,

the old monk of Kongshan Temple was someone even he feared, and this old monk was a man of the cloth.

The Sect Master of the Pijia Sect began to size up Lin Ping seriously once again.

On the field, the sect masters of the other factions also looked at Lin Ping, their expressions varied and thoughtful.

"The Jiangtian Xie Clan also casts a vote for the Dan Sword Sect's Young Sect Master, Lin Ping."

To everyone's surprise, the Jiangtian Xie Clan also cast a vote for Lin Ping.

The Sect Master of the Pijia Sect felt a sense of crisis.

Out of only seven factions in total, three had already voted for the Dan Sword Sect's Lin Ping.

This was unexpected for the sect masters of the Pijia Sect, Qingyu Sect, and Bagua Sect.

At this moment, Lin Ping stood out; he had changed into a white robe, making him look even more handsome and extraordinary.

"I'll join in the fun too and cast a vote for myself.

In that case, there are now four people who have voted for me.

As for the other three sect masters, who do you wish to vote for?"

The other three sect masters looked at each other.

With this move by Lin Ping, the overall situation was already settled.

Beside them, the leader of the rebel army, Huang Xianyuan—the man in the Green Robe—suddenly spoke: "I come from a poor farming family; I have been a beggar and a monk. I have always revered high-ranking monks who have attained the Dao. Since the high monk of Kongshan Temple has chosen Lin Ping of the Dan Sword Sect, I trust his judgment, and I also cast my vote for Lin Ping."

Huang Xianyuan was the leader of the rebel army, and his status was no lower than any of the sect masters present.

Seeing so many people voting for Lin Ping,

he felt that Lin Ping must have extraordinary qualities, so he also chose to vote for Lin Ping to take a gamble.

Lin Chao took an extra look at Huang Xianyuan.

Beside him, Mo Fengxue whispered: "He is Huang Xianyuan, the leader of the rebel army."

Huang Gaozu?

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

If he remembered correctly, the founding Emperor of the Da Huang Dynasty was Huang Xianyuan, who established the dynasty name as Huang.

The Huang Dynasty was a relatively powerful empire in the history of the Daxia Clan, expanding its territory and bringing five hundred years of prosperity to Daxia.

He did not expect to see the ancestor Huang here.

A trace of doubt flashed through his heart.

Is everything happening now real?

Is this happening in the past, or in the present?

If he were to kill Huang Xianyuan, would the Da Huang Dynasty still exist?

Would history change?

What would happen to reality?

Of course, this thought was just a thought.

Huang Xianyuan was not his enemy.

He would not kill an innocent person just for a shred of curiosity.

He could find other ways to verify it.

Regarding the passage of time and time itself, Lin Chao had always held a sense of awe.

It was said that even the gods could not truly master such things.

However, Lin Chao recalled a passage he had once read.

Time does not exist in the first place; it is impossible to find time in reality.

Yet, in human consciousness and thought, time does exist.

Lin Chao was not very clear about these things.

Now was not the time to consider these matters.

"Can I become the leader now?" Lin Chao looked at the other three sect masters, a gentle smile in his eyes.

The sect masters of the Qingyu Sect, Bagua Sect, and Pijia Sect felt a shock in their hearts.

They did not expect that Lin Ping could secretly win over the other three major factions.

They could not understand it, nor could they imagine it.

But at this moment, they could only bite the bullet and agree.

"No problem." The Sect Master of the Pijia Sect had a gruff voice; he looked at Lin Chao with a sharp gaze, as if wanting to see right through Lin Ping.

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

He did not like trouble.

Human strength has its limits; he did not want to end up with the same fate as Heize.

He wanted to achieve a higher rating.

Moreover, the enemy Cang Jun was far more formidable than he had imagined.

Unfortunately, Lin Chao had scoured the history books but could not find the final fate of Cang Jun.

Only unofficial histories record that Cang Jun angered the Heavens, causing the sky to rain down Fire, and Cang Jun was consumed by the Fire.

"Since Young Master Lin Ping is the leader, what thoughts do you have on how to deal with Cang Jun and stop Taiqing Mountain from moving to Kyoto?" the Pijia Sect Sect Master asked.

The others looked at Lin Ping one after another, wanting to know what he thought.

Lin Chao looked at the crowd, his gaze calm, and slowly said six words: "Go to Kyoto, kill Cang Jun."

"This..." The others were slightly stunned.

"This is a bit too simple, isn't it?" Qi Guangying of the Qingyu Sect couldn't help but say.

Or rather, it was as if he had said nothing at all.

"Heaven's mandate lies with Cang; all schemes are futile," Lin Chao said with a calm gaze. "Only by using the great momentum to break Heaven's mandate can we kill him!"

The others' eyes flickered, and they said nothing.

"I will listen to Young Master Lin Ping," Mo Fengxue spoke up, having no objections to Lin Ping's words.

"Seconded," the head of Kongshan Temple and the people from the Jiangtian Xie Clan echoed.

The other three Sect Masters looked at each other.

They just felt that this gathering was strange.

"At this moment, we are here plotting against Great Cang; do you think Cang Jun doesn't know?"

A smile appeared in Lin Chao's eyes.

"What do you mean?" A trace of horror appeared on the face of the Pijia Sect Sect Master.

"At this moment, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace must already be outside the City Lord Mansion."

Lin Chao looked toward the southwest, his gaze deep, and his Sword Intent soared into the sky.

Thanks to the big boss 【Zai Xia Huaji】 for the reward, thank you!
