Chapter 2651: The fortieth sect leader

Long death date's questioning left Hong Changqing at a loss for how to answer.

He couldn't tell his personal disciple that he would stay in Jin Ling and follow Ye Chen's lead from now on, could he?

So, he could only say to Long death date: "death date, Master has worked hard for Tai Zhen Dao for so many years. Now that I'm old, I want to relax. Look, Jin Ling is a place with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, which really fits my preferences. So I plan to settle here for a while and try to see if my cultivation can make a breakthrough."

Long death date frowned and asked: "Master, for so many years, you've been in seclusion for more than half the time. When Old Madam An invited you to come out of the mountains, weren't you in seclusion? At that time, you told me that after you saved Old Mr. An, you would continue to return to the sect for seclusion. But then you came to Jin Ling without a word. Now why do you suddenly say you want to give up the sect leader position and settle in Jin Ling?"

Hong Changqing could only explain: "People, after staying in one place for too long, their spirit becomes slack. So I also want to change the environment and try."

Long death date looked at Hong Changqing and then at Ye Chen sitting on the side, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, even if what you said is all true, if you want to pass the position to me, you shouldn't let me come to Jin Ling, right? According to the practices of Tai Zhen Dao, the succession ceremony must be held back at the sect, in front of other fellow disciples."

Hong Changqing waved his hand awkwardly and said: "Oh, those things you mentioned are just some dispensable formalism. Since it's sect leader succession, as long as I pass the position to you, that's fine. As for others, it doesn't matter if they are present or not. When the time comes, you take my sect leader token back, and they will naturally respect you as the new sect leader."

Long death date said somewhat dissatisfied: "Master, this is the tradition of Tai Zhen Dao after all. As the sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao, you can't ignore the traditions of Tai Zhen Dao. And the occasion you chose is also too casual. Have you ever heard of any sect holding a sect leader succession ceremony in a hotel room?"

Hong Changqing felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this.

Holding a sect leader succession in a hotel, it really didn't seem very appropriate.

Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Succession, there's no need to make a big fuss. I can't possibly call all the disciples of Tai Zhen Dao from thousands of miles away to Jin Ling to witness it, right? As a sect leader, how can I be so troublesome to everyone."

Long death date asked aggressively: "Then why don't you go back to the United States? Even if you want to stay in Jin Ling, out of respect for Tai Zhen Dao, you should take a few days to go back to the sect. You can wait until the succession ceremony is done before returning to Jin Ling!"

"This..." Hong Changqing was left speechless by Long death date's questioning.

He was very guilty about this issue himself.

The reason he called Long death date from the United States and held the succession in the hotel was just to show his attitude to Ye Chen.

To put it bluntly, all of this was just to cater to Ye Chen.

It was just that in order to cater to Ye Chen, he had to neglect the rules of the sect.

At this time, Long death date saw Hong Changqing stuttering and unable to give a reason, so she looked at Ye Chen with her peripheral vision and said: "Master, you just said that as long as you pass the position to me, it's fine, and it doesn't matter if others are present. Then I want to ask you, since fellow disciples don't need to be present to witness, why did you invite this Mr. Ye? He shouldn't be a member of Tai Zhen Dao, right?"

Hong Changqing was even more embarrassed, coughed twice, and blurted out: "death date, I invited Mr. Ye because Mr. Ye and I have a deep friendship, and also because Mr. Ye is a local in Jin Ling..."

Long death date didn't believe his rhetoric at all and said coldly: "Master, from the moment I entered, I noticed you were very respectful to this Mr. Ye. Combined with this matter, I think the reason you want me to come to Jin Ling and intend to pass the position to me here is nothing more than wanting to show off in front of this Mr. Ye, right?"

Hong Changqing didn't expect Long death date to hit the nail on the head. With a red face, he said: "Oh death date... Master will tell you the truth. I have worked hard for Tai Zhen Dao for most of my life. For the time after, Master wants to do something I want to do. If you still treat me as your master, don't break the casserole and ask to the end here. After I pass the sect leader position to you, I will stay in Jin Ling to cultivate, and you will go back to the United States and carry forward Tai Zhen Dao. Isn't that enough?"

Long death date saw Hong Changqing's firm attitude and sighed helplessly, nodding: "Fine! Since you have made up your mind, Master, I won't persuade you anymore. But I have something I want to tell you."

Hong Changqing hurriedly said: "Go ahead!"

Long death date said: "My qualifications are shallow, and I may not have the ability to carry forward Tai Zhen Dao. I can temporarily take over the position of sect leader. When you change your mind, Master, I will return the sect leader position to you."

Hong Changqing waved his hand: "No need, no need. You just be your sect leader!"

Long death date said firmly: "Master, how you decide is your freedom. I'm just stating my attitude."

After saying this, she didn't talk nonsense with Hong Changqing anymore, but said with some emotion: "Fine, Master, less nonsense. You aren't you going to pass the position? Start now!"

"Alright, alright, alright." Hong Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took out the prepared incense and incense burner, lit six sticks of incense, and handed three of them to Long death date.

Afterwards, he faced north and said respectfully: "Ancestors of Tai Zhen Dao, I am Hong Changqing, the thirty-ninth sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao. I hereby officially pass the sect leader position to my personal disciple, Long death date. From now on, Long death date is the fortieth sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao. I implore the ancestors of Tai Zhen Dao to bless death date and Tai Zhen Dao!"

After saying this, he raised the three sticks of incense above his head and bowed, then looked at Long death date and orally told her a series of requirements for the Tai Zhen Dao sect leader.

After finishing these rituals, Hong Changqing took out a sect leader token from his waist and handed it to Long death date: "death date, this is the Tai Zhen Dao sect leader token. Keep it well. With this token, you are the sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao!"

Long death date nodded and took the token with both hands.

Hong Changqing took out another piece of paper filled with calligraphy and said to Long death date: "death date, this is the complete "Tai Zhen Hun Yuan Dao" inherited by Tai Zhen Dao for thousands of years. The last few sections are what you haven't been exposed to before. You must memorize this entire piece of mental method until you are familiar with it, and don't make a single mistake!"

"Okay." Long death date took the paper, opened it to look, and put it into her bosom.

Hong Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "death date, from now on, you are the fortieth sect leader of Tai Zhen Dao. All affairs of Tai Zhen Dao will be decided by you alone in the future. You can prepare to return to the United States immediately. If there is anything you need Master's help with, contact me at any time. Master will definitely try my best to help you."

Long death date nodded, then looked at Hong Changqing and asked: "Master, what about the medicine cauldron that Master's Master passed to you back then?" ===== CHAPTER 2652 =====
