Chapter 2898
Chen Yuanshui
He kept feeling that the mysterious power exuding from the Eye of Nothingness gave him a very familiar feeling.
This familiar feeling reminded him of Yan Tianwei from the Prophet family who possessed the Divination Holy Talisman. Back then, Yan Tianwei could use the Divination Holy Talisman to predict the future and avoid calamity. The aura emitted from his body was somewhat similar to the mysterious power emitted from the Eye of Nothingness.
Of course, Yan Tianwei's strength was far from being comparable to the Eye of Nothingness, but his essence was somewhat similar. This made Zhuowen think of fate.
Whether it was Yan Tianwei's ability to predict the future or the Eye of Nothingness's aura of prying into fortune or misfortune, they all seemed to be closely related to fate.
Fate was a very mysterious thing. It could be said that in this world, everyone's fate was different. It was the same principle as there were no identical leaves in the world.
Zhuowen revealed a pondering expression. The strength of the Eye of Nothingness that appeared just now shouldn't be that great. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhuowen to injure the owner of the Eye of Nothingness with just a little lightning.
Zhuowen didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he left the valley in large strides and rushed towards the Giant Spirit Sect that was hundreds of miles away.
At this moment, in the Sect Master's Hall of the Giant Spirit Sect, the old man lying on the bed suddenly screamed. Tears of blood actually flowed out of his eyes. His body twitched and his aura became even more bleak as if he would disappear at any time.
The beautiful woman next to the old man trembled. She hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm and said with a sobbing tone, "Grandfather, what's wrong?
Hurry up and stop the Divination Technique. Your body can't take it anymore. "
Just as the beautiful woman finished speaking, the old man suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were blood-red and looked very frightening.
Everyone in the hall held their breaths. They knew that when the old man opened his eyes, it meant that the Divination Technique had ended. It also meant that the old man had seen who the next Sect Master of the Giant Spirit Sect was.
Although they felt that the old man's current state was very strange, they didn't take it to heart. Instead, they held their breaths and wanted to hear the old man's next words.
Puchi!
The old man abruptly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, tightly grasped the beautiful woman beside him, and said intermittently, "In … a valley a few hundred kilometers away … there's a young man … with two scars on his face … He … He's … Tong …"
As soon as the old man said the word 'connect', his voice suddenly stopped. After that, his entire body fell backwards, and the aura on his body completely dissipated. He had actually died just like that.
"No …"
The beautiful woman lay on the old man's body and cried bitterly. The entire hall was filled with her cries. As for the people in the hall, their faces were filled with disappointment.
They understood what the old man meant. The next sect leader was not any of them, but a young man with two scars on his face.
"Miss Ruoyu, don't be too sad. My condolences!
You see, the Sect Master didn't even say who the next Sect Master would be. I think the Sect Master's successor should be chosen by everyone in the sect! "
A middle-aged man with sharp eyes walked out. Although his words were comforting, his tone was very unyielding and didn't have the slightest intention of comforting.
When this middle-aged man appeared, the hall instantly became deathly silent. Everyone looked at this middle-aged man with fear. Obviously, this middle-aged man wasn't a simple person in the Giant Spirit Sect.
"Chen Yuanshui, my grandfather just passed away. What do you mean by this?
Also, didn't you hear what my grandfather said before he passed away?
He said that in a valley a few hundred kilometers away from the sect, there's a young man with two scars on his face. That young man is our Giant Spirit Sect's new Sect Master. "
The woman called Ruoyu's beautiful face regained its cold temperament. She coldly looked at the middle-aged man and spoke very impolitely.
Chen Yuanshui narrowed his eyes and sneered, "The Sect Master only said that there's such a young man. He didn't say that this young man would be the new Sect Master. Miss Ruoyu, you're thinking too much."
"I think that's it. The Sect Master just passed away. The sect can't be without a leader for a day. Now, everyone will vote to decide who the next Sect Master is!"
As he spoke, Chen Yuanshui's gaze looked around at everyone. All the cultivators who met Chen Yuanshui's gaze subconsciously lowered their heads and said yes.
Chen Yuanshui was an expert in the Giant Spirit Sect whose strength was second only to the Sect Master. Moreover, Chen Yuanshui's methods were ruthless and especially vengeful. Most of the people who offended Chen Yuanshui ended up very miserable.
In the past, because of the old Sect Master's suppression, Chen Yuanshui's actions in the sect could be considered restrained.
But now that the old Sect Master had just passed away, Chen Yuanshui immediately began to jump out. Moreover, he was unscrupulous and seemed to regard himself as the Sect Master.
"What?
Are you looking down on me or what? "
Chen Yuanshui's voice became a little cold. He looked at everyone with an unfriendly gaze.
Everyone was immediately frightened by Chen Yuanshui's words and immediately agreed. They all believed that the next Sect Master was Chen Yuanshui and that it was unreasonable for the position of Sect Master not to be passed to Chen Yuanshui.
Ruo Yu was so angry that her chest violently heaved up and down. She coldly said, "Elder Chen, you do have the qualifications and the strength. But now that my grandfather has just passed away, the position of Sect Master will have to wait until the seventh day of his death. You're in such a hurry to elect a Sect Master. Are you not putting my grandfather in your eyes at all?"
Chen Yuanshui's gaze flickered and he nodded. "Miss Ruo Yu is right. Let's first bury the old Sect Master properly. The matter of choosing a Sect Master is indeed not urgent."
"Now, all of you can leave first. I need to properly settle my grandfather!"
Ruo Yu ordered everyone to leave. Although Chen Yuanshui's brows were slightly furrowed and he was a little unhappy with Ruo Yu's attitude, he could only clasp his hands and leave.
After everyone left, Ruo Yu's beautiful eyes were filled with determination as she stared at the old man who had already closed his eyes. "Grandpa, I will definitely help you find the successor and help him ascend to the position of Headmaster. I believe that you have made the right choice."
… …
Zhuowen looked at the slightly dilapidated city wall in front of him and was a little speechless. Just how decrepit was the Giant Spirit Sect? They didn't even repair the city wall. Moreover, Zhuowen also discovered that there were no formations set up around the Giant Spirit Sect. Could it be that they couldn't even afford to hire a Divine Array Master?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhuowen was speechless.
He didn't care too much. The Giant Spirit Sect's territory was just a passing road for him. He would directly go to the boundary after passing through the Giant Spirit Sect.
When Zhuowen arrived at the city gate, he was immediately stopped by the guards.
"I say, what is the meaning of this?" Zhuowen looked at the two guards who stopped him in puzzlement.
The two guards looked up and down at Zhuowen and revealed a surprised expression. Immediately, they said solemnly, "Brother, our Elder Chen invites you. He hopes that you can go over."
