Chapter 335 The Third Generation of Quanzhen Master (Tonight)
Four Taoist boys carried Ma Yu out.
Xin Zhen watched from afar. Ma Yu looked sickly and seemed to be at the end of his life.
Qiu Chuji and the other five men quickly surrounded them.
Qiu Chuji asked, "Brother, why did you come out here instead of taking a rest?"
Ma Yu heard what Qiu Chuji said and slowly opened his eyes. Although he was already exhausted, his eyes were still bright and moist. He slowly looked at Qiu Chuji, then at Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan, Hao Datong, Sun Buer and others, nodded slightly, and said, "I can't lie down anymore. I hear the sound of swords and guns, the sound of war drums, rumbling, and I feel very uneasy..."
Ma Yu looked at Qiu Chuji and said, "...Is the Mongolian army coming?"
Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "We are attacking the mountain."
Ma Yu nodded and said, "Arrange the transfer, Junior Brother Datong, I will arrange this later. My fellow junior brothers and sisters, at this point, my body can no longer keep up. Now is the moment of life and death for Quanzhen Sect, and someone must take the charge. Please nominate someone.
We can’t move together this time, we have to disperse and retreat. If there is no one who can lead the group, it will be difficult to gather together again in the future.”
After these words were spoken, the other five disciples looked at each other, and the expressions of the three generations of disciples became a little nervous. This nervousness was more of concern, because the position of the head teacher was related to the authority of each lineage.
However, the degree of attention of the third generation disciples of each lineage is different. The most nervous are the Changchun lineage and the Yuyang lineage, followed by Liu Chuxuan's Changsheng lineage and the Guangning lineage. As for Ma Yu and Sun Buer, they are somewhat indifferent.
The Changchun lineage and the Yuyang lineage are the two most powerful lineages in Quanzhen, and they also have outstanding disciples. Therefore, these two lineages have their own ideas about the position of the head teacher.
Although there are not many outstanding disciples in the Changsheng lineage, Liu Chuxuan is relatively young, and he has the potential to take over as the headmaster.
As for the fact that Ma Yu does not have many outstanding disciples, this lineage does not have many ideas. Not to mention Sun Buer, she is the weakest among the seven disciples, and the same is true for the disciples. They do not have much say and naturally do not have many ideas.
The Guangning lineage did not have too many ideas of its own, but they had already completely moved closer to the Changchun lineage, so naturally they wanted the Changchun lineage to be the head, and naturally they would benefit more.
At this time, Sun Buer spoke first: "At this critical moment of life and death, we need a person with great prestige to take charge. Otherwise, it will be like what Senior Brother Ma said, even if they are scattered all over the sky, it will be difficult to gather them together again. Therefore, I suggest choosing one from among the seven sons."
When these words were spoken, many people nodded.
Qiu Chuji shook his head and said, "It should be so, but I want to tell you, fellow disciples, if it is normal, just choose an experienced and steady person to maintain the status quo.
But this is a matter of life and death for Quanzhen Sect, and this man is here to save the collapsed edifice. It is not enough to just be highly respected and virtuous. At this moment, if he still acts as he did in the past, Quanzhen Sect will soon be on the verge of collapse.
Therefore, we need to select a person with great wit and foresight to lead the Quanzhen Sect through this crisis."
After Qiu Chuji said this, everyone turned their eyes to Xin Zhen who was standing a little further away.
When Xin Zhen helped Qiu Chuji deal with some things before, everyone had heard that Xin Zhen handled things with great wit, and even Qiu Chuji was impressed by him. Since Qiu Chuji said so, it seemed that he really wanted to promote this fourth-generation disciple.
However, everyone had doubts in their hearts: This Yang Guo was indeed very outstanding, but he was so young, could he really take on such a heavy responsibility?
At this time, Wang Chuyi frowned and said, "Brother, you don't want Yang Lai to be the headmaster of Quanzhen?"
Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "You have all seen Guo'er's ability, I think there is no problem." Wang Chuyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, everyone knows Guo'er's ability, but he is too young after all, and his prestige is not enough.
The Quanzhen Sect is such a big organization with so many people in and out of it. If he were to take over, many people would be dissatisfied. Then the Quanzhen Sect might really fall apart."
When these words were spoken, many experienced and prudent people nodded.
Hao Datong said, “Senior brothers, I think that Senior Brother Qiu’s opinion is quite reasonable. Yang Guo has been in the sect for so many years, and everyone knows his abilities.
Moreover, in terms of prestige, he is not inferior among the fourth-generation disciples. As for the third-generation disciples, everyone is actually quite convinced of him.
There aren't many disciples in the third generation, and we old guys are still here, so let's keep the pressure on him.
Anyway, we will not be wiped out within the next ten or twenty years. With Yang Guo's ability, we only need to give him a few years and he will be able to establish his prestige.
Apart from anything else, the Changchun lineage all obey him, and I can guarantee that the Guangning lineage supports Yang Guo in taking charge of Quanzhen!"
Everyone was a little surprised. What Hao Datong said was not simple. It was considered a complete support for Xin Zhen, and it was the kind of support that was shown openly.
At this time, Ma Yu slightly opened his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Liu, Junior Sister Sun, what are your opinions?"
Liu Chuxuan originally had his own ideas, but seeing Qiu Chuji and Hao Datong were so confident, he actually knew in his heart that he probably couldn't compete with the Changchun lineage. In this case, he might as well do a favor.
Liu Chuxuan said: "Master, I don't think there is any problem. Yang Guo is mature and capable. We old guys can still suppress him. I don't think there is any problem."
Ma Yu nodded and looked at Sun Buer, who also said simply, "I have no objection."
Ma Yu nodded and said, "Okay, there are many supporters, so there is no need to hesitate. I am also optimistic about Guo'er. So, Yang Guo..."
Xin Zhen took a step forward, knelt down, and said respectfully, "Yang Guo is here."
Ma Yu said: "You haven't entered the Dao sect yet, but it doesn't matter. In a matter of life and death, this is just a minor matter. I will let your master preside over it for you later.
This ritual of becoming the head sect leader can also be simplified. Today, the important responsibility of becoming the head sect leader of Quanzhen Sect will be entrusted to you. Your ancestors, uncles, and your brothers and sisters can all be witnesses.
Dear fellow disciples, come and meet the new headmaster of Quanzhen Sect. Yang Guo, from today on, will be the third generation headmaster of Quanzhen Sect!"
Ma Yu struggled to get up, helped Xin Zhen up, then straightened his clothes, saluted Xin Zhen, and said loudly: "Ma Yu greets the Quanzhen Sect Master!"
The five Quanzhen disciples also bowed and said in unison: "Greetings to the Quanzhen Sect Master."
The third and fourth generation disciples also said in unison: "Greetings to the Quanzhen Sect Master!"
Such a solemn and dignified scene, even Xin Zhen, who had seen big scenes, couldn't help but feel moved. He sighed for a moment, and then Zhuang Zheng returned the greeting.
