19: Chapter 19 Sword Demon, Bull-like Fool?! His Personal Disciple!
The many youths were shaken when they heard the respectful voices of the Immortal Revered Master Realm experts in the sky.
The Old Sect Master!
The Old Sect Master of the Hundred Saints Sect!
Could this ordinary-looking old man who appeared before them really be that legendary Old Sect Master?!
In the Hundred Saints Sect, the position of Sect Leader was usually changed through challenges.
Whoever was powerful enough could become the new Sect Leader of the Hundred Saints Sect.
However, this Old Sect Master was an exception; he didn't step down because someone successfully challenged him.
Rather, he had been the Sect Leader of the Hundred Saints Sect for too long, found it boring, and took the initiative to resign.
Only with his resignation did the current Sect Leader of the Hundred Saints Sect succeed him.
Because during his tenure as the Sect Leader of the Hundred Saints Sect, no matter who challenged him, they could not defeat him.
Even someone who could withstand ten of his sword strikes had never appeared!
In the beginning, there were still experts from the Hundred Saints Sect who dared to challenge him to test themselves.
But later on, people gradually stopped mentioning it.
One would go to challenge him with great enthusiasm, only to be instakilled by a single sword strike; there was simply no sense of experience at all.
Sometimes being too invincible is a kind of loneliness; this saying couldn't be more appropriate for the Old Sect Master of the Hundred Saints Sect!
After a moment of silence, the many youths followed suit as if they shared a telepathic connection.
They respectfully cupped their hands in greeting to the ordinary-looking old man who was searching all over.
"We greet the Old Sect Master!"
Their voices were filled with respect and fanaticism.
This was respect from the bottom of their hearts, and fanaticism from the bottom of their hearts.
If they could one day become an existence like the Old Sect Master, it would be worth it even if they died!
In response, the ordinary-looking old man didn't care at all and continued his search on his own.
He kept muttering to himself, and his face became increasingly anxious.
"Where is it? Where is that Qi Sea Realm Sword Intent Prodigy? They couldn't have teamed up to lie to me, could they?"
"Are these little brats looking for a beating? To even deceive an old fellow like me?"
Although the ordinary-looking old man was muttering to himself, Ye Chen, who was very close, still heard him.
After hesitating for a moment, he took a step forward and slightly cupped his hands toward the old man.
"Senior, are you looking for me?"
At the scene, it seemed he was the only Qi Sea Realm who had comprehended Sword Intent.
As soon as his voice sounded, Ye Chen felt an extremely sharp gaze fall upon him.
This gaze was like a sharp sword that could pierce through everything.
It felt as if in that instant, everything about him had been seen through.
"That's it! It's you, kid! You're the Qi Sea Realm Prodigy who comprehended Sword Intent!"
The ordinary-looking old man stared at Ye Chen for a while, then suddenly shouted out in great joy.
Buzz!
Before Ye Chen could respond, he took a step forward, arrived in front of Ye Chen, and began to look him up and down.
The more he looked, the more the satisfaction in his eyes grew, and he couldn't stop nodding.
"Good, good, good! You really have comprehended Sword Intent, and it's even a thirty percent comprehension!"
Ye Chen felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at and gave a forced smile.
"May I know Senior's name? This Junior, Ye Chen, greets Senior!"
This Senior really was something, not even knowing to restrain his own Sword Dao aura.
It was lucky that he had also comprehended Sword Intent; otherwise, just this kind of gaze alone might have caused him internal injuries.
He had naturally heard of the Old Sect Master of the Hundred Saints Sect's fame.
It was no exaggeration to say that in the Tianyun Kingdom, almost no one had not heard of the Old Sect Master's prestige.
However, as for his name, he indeed did not know it.
He only knew the title of this legendary figure: Sword Demon!
Hearing this, the ordinary-looking old man said with a smile.
"Actually, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me by my name."
"I've almost forgotten what my real name is myself."
"But since you, little fellow, have asked, I'll tell you."
"My real name is Niu Lengzi. My mother gave it to me, saying it would make me easy to raise."
"Indeed, I've lived long enough now; there's something to this name."
Niu Lengzi?
Ye Chen's body shook violently, and he stared at the ordinary-looking old man in front of him with some shock.
The great Sword Demon, whose fame shook the entire Tianyun Kingdom, was actually named Niu Lengzi!
He hadn't expected it; he hadn't expected things to be like this!
As if thinking of something, Ye Chen quickly cupped his hands in apology.
"Please forgive me, Senior. It was an unintentional act by this Junior; please do not take offense!"
He finally understood why an existence of this level only had their title passed down and not their real name.
It was simply because others didn't dare to spread this real name!
If you made this old man unhappy, hey, one sword strike and you'd go straight to heaven!
Niu Lengzi, who could have thought he was called Niu Lengzi?!
Sword Demon Niu Lengzi waved his hand with an indifferent look.
"No matter, no matter. You're quite a likable little fellow."
Saying that, his gaze swept over the many Immortal Revered Master Realm experts behind him who had already landed on the ground.
"As for you all, forget what just happened, or bear the consequences yourselves!"
As his voice fell, all the Immortal Revered Master Realm experts, including the ordinary middle-aged man, shuddered and nodded hastily.
No one dared to mention the Old Sect Master's name; Ye Chen really had some guts.
To actually ask for the old man's name in front of so many people.
Most importantly, the Old Sect Master actually said it. How much did he value Ye Chen?!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, many figures with powerful auras descended from the sky and landed behind Niu Lengzi.
In the next instant, respectful voices rang out from these figures.
"We greet the Old Sect Master!"
Without exception, the auras of these experts surpassed the Immortal Revered Master Realm and reached the Profound Void Realm level!
They were none other than the current Sect Leader of the Hundred Saints Sect and a group of Inner Sect Elders.
It could be said that all the high-level officials of the Hundred Saints Sect were now gathered here!
To this, Niu Lengzi didn't even spare them a glance and still said to Ye Chen with a smile.
"Kid Ye Chen, do you want to become my Personal Disciple?"
"As long as you nod your head, you can freely use all the cultivation resources and cultivation Holy Lands within the Hundred Saints Sect!"
Personal Disciple!
The many Profound Void Realm experts who had just arrived, as well as the Immortal Revered Master Realm experts who were already there, were all shaken upon hearing this.
From the sound of it, the Old Sect Master was... taking the initiative to accept a Disciple!
It wasn't that they hadn't recommended prodigies to the Old Sect Master before, but without exception, he hadn't taken a liking to any of them.
Some of those prodigies had even broken through to the Immortal Revered Master Realm by now.
Yet for the newly appeared Ye Chen, the Old Sect Master was actively asking if he was willing to be his Personal Disciple.
However, when they thought about how Ye Chen had comprehended Sword Intent from the Martial Dao True Intent with just a Qi Sea Realm cultivation, they were relieved.
With such a monstrous Prodigy, it was only natural for the Old Sect Master to intend to accept him as a Disciple!
Not only were the experts shocked, but the many youths who had not yet been tested were also stunned in place.
Good heavens, they clearly all came together, so why was the difference in treatment so huge?
They hadn't even undergone the talent test yet and hadn't even entered the gates of the Hundred Saints Sect.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, only needed to nod his head to directly become the Personal Disciple of the legendary expert, the Sword Demon!
Gulp!
Li Wuyong, who had just stood up, sat back down again and swallowed hard.
"Brother Ye is so strong!"
He was now completely convinced by Ye Chen; he finally understood the meaning of the phrase 'there is always someone better'.
Hearing Niu Lengzi's words, Ye Chen glanced at the many Profound Void Realm experts behind him.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes.
This purple-robed middle-aged man had just met his gaze and immediately looked away, his expression even slightly unnatural.
Something's not right, something's not right, something's very, very not right!
This middle-aged man in purple robes might be his target for coming to the Hundred Saints Sect this time!
Mo Qianhua's backer, that Inner Sect Elder Revered Master of the Hundred Saints Sect!
Phew!
Ye Chen's thoughts flashed for a moment, and he solemnly cupped his hands and bowed to Niu Lengzi.
"Disciple Ye Chen greets Revered Master!"
He had already determined that Niu... er, Senior Sword Demon...
...was the legendary... Tribulation Crossing Realm expert of the Hundred Saints Sect!
Taking a Tribulation Crossing Realm Sword Dao expert as his Revered Master, no matter how he looked at it, he wasn't losing out!
Most importantly, by taking the Sword Demon as his Revered Master, half of his plan was already successful!
Hearing Ye Chen's answer, Niu Lengzi couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Hahaha, good, good, good! My dear Disciple! I have a Disciple too!"
"I announce that from this moment on, my Disciple Ye Chen is promoted to Core Disciple and enjoys the privileges of the Young Sect Master!"
"Who among you agrees, and who objects?!"
After speaking, an incomparably powerful pressure erupted from his body, enveloping all the experts present.
