After taking care of the aftermath of Li Cunzhi and Li Chengxuan, Liu Yiqing immediately summoned the elders of the sect and the heads of each peak to prepare to decide on Qin Hao taking over as the sect leader.

When the elders received this information, their expressions looked a little strange.

Liu Yiqing has enough strength and prestige, so no one objects to him taking over as the sect leader.

But, isn’t it inappropriate for Liu Yiqing to talk about this matter right after Li Cunzhi left?

Even if you don't wait for others to propose or recommend you, you should wait for some time.

What puzzled everyone was that Liu Yiqing didn't seem to be someone who had any ideas about the position of sect leader in the past, so why was he so impatient now?

Although they had doubts in their hearts, everyone still headed to Yuding Peak.

At this time, in the main hall of Yuding Peak, Qin Hao and Liu Yiqing had been waiting here for a long time.

Not long ago, the two of them had met Jiang Ru together, and Liu Yiqing explained the current crisis of the sect and the need to immediately elect the next sect leader. Liu Yiqing and Qin Hao both respected Jiang Ru very much, so naturally they would not gather everyone in the sect until they got her approval.

Although Jiang Ru had lost her husband and son and had no interest in worldly affairs, she knew that the sect was her husband's hard work, so she forced herself to listen to Liu Yiqing's explanation.

Although Jiang Ru was a little worried when she learned that the successor was Qin Hao instead of Liu Yiqing, she felt relieved after knowing Qin Hao's true strength.

After getting his approval, the two of them summoned the elders and peak masters of the sect.

Not long after, all the inner sect elders and the masters of each peak gathered in the main hall of Yuding Peak.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat silent, or even weird.

Liu Yiqing also knew the reason, but he did not explain it immediately. Instead, he said, "Everyone, the sect leader was killed by a traitor. The sect has been attacked frequently and people's hearts are unstable. For now, I think we should select a candidate for the sect leader to stabilize the sect."

Hearing this, the elders in the hall had different expressions. They knew the purpose of Liu Yiqing calling them here, but they didn't expect him to be so direct and say it straight away without any preparation.

The other elders exchanged glances, and finally the more senior Zheng Tong spoke up, "Master Liu Feng, we all know that the current situation is unstable, but is it inappropriate to discuss the next master right after Master Li passed away?"

After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, everyone nodded, indicating that they agreed with his idea.

Then, they all looked at Liu Yiqing, waiting for his reply.

Everyone looked very strange. Liu Yiqing used to respect his senior brother Li Cunzhi, the sect leader, so why was he behaving so confusingly now?

However, Liu Yiqing shook his head and insisted, "It's not that I don't care about my brother, but now is an extraordinary period and we can't delay..." After a pause, he added, "Recently, some Taoist friends who came to mourn brought news that the capital has suffered a drastic change, the emperor is furious, and the imperial army is heading south. I am afraid that they are coming for us, so we need to choose the candidate for the sect leader as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."

Hearing this, the expressions of the others became serious.

They had heard some of this news, but they didn't know about the imperial army heading south. If the army was really coming for Yuxu Sect, then someone should step forward to take charge of the situation.

In this way, they understood why Liu Yiqing was so anxious.

After thinking for a while, the forging department elder Gu Jin said, "In this case, Master Liu Feng will take over the position of the sect leader. I have no objection."

Others also nodded in agreement, indicating their approval of Gu Jin's statement.

However, Liu Yiqing shook his head again and said, "It's not me. In the current situation, I am unable to lead the Yuxu Sect to regroup..."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, as if they had thought of something, and instantly turned their eyes to Qin Hao next to them.

Qin Hao did not keep everyone in suspense. He nodded to everyone and said, "Uncle Liu wants me to take over the position of the sect leader and take on the important task of protecting the sect. I have no objection."

Hearing this, everyone else frowned.

It's not that they look down on Qin Hao or have any opinions about him. As a disciple of Lin Miaoyun and the grandson of the last master, Yu Xing Zhenren, Qin Hao is of course qualified to be the master of Yuxu Sect.

However, Liu Yiqing also said that the current situation is not optimistic. The last time they saw Qin Hao was when the various factions in the Southern Region were fighting against the Demon Sect. Although Qin Hao had already shown impressive strength at that time, he had not yet reached the Earthly Immortal Realm...

Knowing what everyone was thinking, Qin Hao did not hide anything. After he finished speaking, he immediately released the aura of his Heavenly Venerate Realm.

The terrifying pressure suddenly descended, causing many elders in the hall to almost lose their balance. Then they were all filled with shock and looked at Qin Hao as if he were a monster.

After a while, Qin Hao retracted his momentum and said, "I have had a wonderful encounter. My strength has reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Senior Brother Liu will also help me with daily matters. Do you have any concerns, uncles and aunts?"

Everyone's heart was beating like drums and it took a long time to calm down.

After a long while, Gu Jin swallowed his saliva and said, "That's the best."

"Yes, that's good. I have no objection."

"God bless our Yuxu Sect..."

"agree."

After the other elders reacted, they all agreed and had no objection to Qin Hao taking over the position of sect leader.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, something had been settled.

Immediately, Liu Yiqing discussed the specific matters of the succession to the position of sect leader with everyone.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to keep it simple. Firstly, the old patriarch had just passed away, so it would be bad to make it too fancy. Secondly, the situation was critical, so there was no need to worry about those empty formalities.

Qin Hao naturally agreed with this.

Afterwards, the elders planned and decided to hold a simple ceremony in the martial arts square, at least to let everyone in the sect know the existence of the new leader.

At the same time, those who came to mourn Li Cunzhi have not left yet. It would be a good opportunity to invite them together so that the news can be spread.

Before that, Qin Hao just needed to wait. He didn't need to take care of those things. His greatest significance to the sect was his powerful strength.

Then Qin Hao left Yuding Peak.

However, after leaving Yuding Peak, Qin Hao was in trouble again. After thinking it over again and again, he finally headed towards Cangming Peak.
