Chapter 39 Ceremony

Chapter 39 Ceremony
"Did Brother Mingguang absorb that piece of illusionary soul bone? It fits the control route he took."

What Xu Mingxi was thinking was, with the Star Shining Bewitching Soul Skill plus the 70,000 Year Illusion Soul Bone, if he could get Shi Nian's soul bone, would Xu Mingguang really be able to kill people without them being seen?

However, no one knows where Shi Nian is hiding now, and he has not appeared in Canghui College.

Seven days later, the Xingguang Sect called back all its disciples, and everyone was present except for those who really could not leave.

Almost all the members of the Xingguan Sect and their families gathered in the Xingguan Sect's parade ground. The Sect Master stood at the top, looking at the more than one hundred people in the parade ground, with great pride in his heart.

Finally, he did not let down the trust of the sect's ancestors. The sect master is still relatively young, only about a hundred years old, and can wait until Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang grow up. By then, the Xingguan Sect will reach a new peak.

Xu Mingguang also rushed back and stood in the attention seat below, looking forward to Xu Mingxi's arrival.
As the grandson of the sect leader, he is now a fifty-ninth-level control-type combat soul king. If Xu Mingxi hadn't been around, he would most likely have been the successor.

However, the friendship between the two of them since childhood, plus the fact that the sect leader taught Xu Mingguang to put the overall interests of the Xingguan Sect first, made him happy only for Xu Mingxi's achievements.

"Everyone, today is the succession ceremony for the young master of our Xingguan Sect. Mingxi's talent is obvious to all. Now he has been honing his skills alone in the Xingdou Great Forest for three years and is the number one among the younger generation of our sect.

I believe that there is no one in the sect who is more suitable than him. If no one objects, then he will become the next leader of our Xingguan Sect."

The sect leader had already reached a consensus with the elders that there was no one in the second generation who could take on the important responsibility, and Xu Mingxi was the best candidate for the third generation.

If three years ago, they would still hesitate between Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang, now Xu Mingxi has proved his worth with his changes.

Everyone in the audience looked at Xu Mingguang and saw him shaking his head. They knew that the position of young sect leader had most likely been decided and the others had no ability to compete at all.

Amid the cheers and gazes of everyone, Xu Mingxi, wearing a golden soul master robe, slowly walked into the training ground, his handsome face full of determination.

He walked onto the stage and made a promise in front of all the members of the Star Crown Sect.

He will definitely lead the Xingguan Sect to glory.

The sect leader sat on the top chair with a dazed look on his face. He seemed to see himself in Xu Mingxi, who was also so ambitious.

It's just that I am limited by my talent and am still stuck at level 96, unable to make any progress. Maybe after a long period of time I can break through to level 97, but going any higher is probably impossible.

But he believed that for Xu Mingxi, as long as he did not waste his talent, level 98 was just a threshold.

"But before that, we still need these old guys to light the way ahead."

The sect leader looked with satisfaction at Xu Mingxi, who was standing on the stage with high spirits, and at the disciples of the sect who were cheering for him below the stage. Protecting the Xingguan Sect was his only career in this life.

After the ceremony, the sect leader called Xu Mingxi into the room and handed him a stack of information.

"Mingxi, the top one is the information about the Tiandou Empire sent by the Blood Knife Pavilion, the middle one is sent by some close families and sects of my Xingguan Sect, and the last one is some of the connections Mingguang has established in the southeastern region of the Xingluo Empire in recent years."

Brother Mingguang? Xu Mingxi felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that before leaving, he casually told Xu Mingguang that he wanted to win over the family forces in the southeast.

It was just such a short sentence, but he actually remembered it completely and spared no effort to do it during the time when he was away.

Xu Mingxi first looked through the information below. Except for Dongji City where he had visited, Xu Mingguang was present in the other four important cities.

Compared to Xu Mingguang's surprise, the other two pieces of information were somewhat mediocre. Only one piece was worthy of Xu Mingxi's attention.

A mysterious woman appeared beside the twin stars of Haotian Sect, and her origin was unknown. The gears of fate began to turn, Xu Mingxi sighed and returned the information to the sect leader.

"Sect Master, I don't know what our Xingguan Sect should do next."

"Mingxi, instead of asking me this question, I'd rather ask you. If it were you, what would you do next?"

While sorting out the information, the sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi with a smile. As the young sect leader and the future leader of the Xingguan Sect, he was already qualified to express his opinions on the future development of the sect.

Xu Mingxi was stunned for a moment. He had lived in isolation in the Xingdou Great Forest for three years. Even after reading the information just now, he really couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

His knowledge of Douluo Continent was based on some general education he had received over the past twenty years and the original novel he had read in his previous life.

Moreover, Xu Mingxi was just an unemployed young man in his previous life who had not had the chance to start working, so talking about management was just theory.

Looking at the sect leader's expectant eyes, he had no choice but to go ahead.

"Master, since the situation on the continent is so complicated, why don't we practice peacefully in Luoxing Mountain and wait and see how things develop.

Of course, we must not cut off contact with the outside world. We cannot let Brother Mingguang's efforts go to waste, and in the future, the focus of the sect may be placed on the Tiandou Empire."

The previous sect leaders all understood, but he was really confused about the last one who placed the focus on the Tiandou Empire.

The Xingguan Sect has been in the Xingluo Empire since its establishment and has been deeply rooted here for many years. How can it just move away?

"Master, the power of the Xingluo Empire is basically controlled by the royal Dai family. If we want to develop, we will inevitably have to overcome this hurdle.

The Tiandou Empire was divided into four kingdoms and one duchy. The royal family was weak, which was fertile ground for the development of sects.

And I'm not saying that we can take our time with the Tiandou Empire right now, maybe we can start with the Xingluo Kingdom and the Blood Knife Pavilion."

Xu Mingxi racked his brains and barely found a reason to trick the sect leader.

Could he have directly said that twenty or thirty years later, the three major sects on which the Tiandou Empire depended for survival would either go into seclusion, be destroyed, or be crippled?

Then the kingdom will betray, and Emperor Xue Ye's lineage will die, leaving only the useless Avalanche. If the sect leader says this, will he believe it?

The current Tiandou Empire is a powerful empire that can compete with the Xingluo Empire.

They have good relations with the three major sects, have major soul master academies to train talents, and have Marshal Ge Long in charge of the army. The several kingdoms under their command dare not disobey them.

No one could have imagined how weak the Tiandou Empire would become in the future.

The sect leader accepted Xu Mingxi's suggestion and promised to arrange the power of the Xingguan Sect into the Tiandou Empire through the channel of the Blood Knife Pavilion, but he would not invest too much, because Xingluo was the sect's core base.

This is enough. Xu Mingxi does not expect the sect leader to do exactly what he says. Now is a good start.

There is still a long time. Tang Hao is now 34 years old, and he still has a full ten years away from becoming a Titled Douluo. This is enough time for Xu Mingxi to grow up and become an elder and have a certain say in the Xingguan Sect.
