At this very moment!
The void trembled!
Following that, Chen Nan and the others flew out of the battlefield of gods and demons!
Two thousand people went in!
And only over seven hundred came out!
Seeing their disheveled appearance!
Zhou Daoyuan’s eyes welled up with tears: "It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back!"
They knew!
The return of these disciples meant that the matters within had been resolved!
"My disciple didn't come back?" Gu Yu's eyes were filled with tears. He had only taken Ao Hanye as his disciple in his lifetime, and had meticulously taught him. Although that fellow had caused him a lot of trouble!
He had not let him down!
Yang Tu's tone was heavy: "Senior Brother Ao sacrificed himself to seal the demonic realm passage!"
Geng Rao: "Yes, if Senior Brother Ao had not sacrificed himself, we would not have been able to return alive! He is a man worthy of respect, and he is our good senior brother!"
Gu Yu sobbed uncontrollably: "You all said he was stingy, that he was untrustworthy, that he went back on his word, and even that he bullied others, but the facts prove that my disciple only had some bad habits that everyone has, but in essence, he is not a bad person!"
Zhou Daoyuan sighed softly: "The losses this time are all my fault. If I had not underestimated the danger within, the sect would not have lost so many elite disciples!"
He paused, and a dragon egg the size of a watermelon appeared in his hand: "I am willing to relinquish my position as sect leader!"
As soon as he said this, the elders became anxious!
"Sect Leader, this incident was not what we wished for!"
"Yes, although we suffered heavy losses this time, we have at least sealed the demonic realm passage!"
"I believe that if those disciples have spirits in heaven, they will not blame you!"
The elders spoke one after another!
The dragon egg was the sect leader's token of the Dao Sect!
"My mind is made up, there is no need for you to say more!" Zhou Daoyuan waved his hand, and the dragon egg floated in mid-air: "As for who the new sect leader is, let the dragon egg choose!"
The dragon egg slowly floated into the air, emitting a golden light!
This dragon egg had been passed down for countless years. Although the sect leaders had always kept it with them, no one had been able to hatch it!
However, with the dragon egg by one's side, cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort!
Whoosh!
The dragon egg hovered in the air for a moment, then transformed into a beam of light and appeared above Chen Nan's head, then fiercely collided with him!
Chen Nan, who considered his physical body invincible, still had blood appear on his forehead from the dragon egg's impact, staining the golden dragon egg red!
"The dragon egg has recognized its master. From now on, Xuanyuan Yue is the new sect leader of the Dao Sect!" Zhou Daoyuan declared, not surprised by this outcome, as this was the junior sister's disciple!
"Sect Leader, he is not Xuanyuan Yue!" Geng Rao said nervously!
Let alone that Ye Hongyi had fallen unconscious!
Even if she hadn't fallen unconscious, he would still have to reveal Chen Nan's identity!
No matter what!
Chen Nan was not a disciple of the Dao Sect!
He could not become the sect leader of the Dao Sect!
Chen Nan resumed his previous appearance and explained his purpose in disguising himself as Xuanyuan Yue and infiltrating the Dao Sect!
"I know you are not Xuanyuan Yue!"
Zhou Daoyuan's words greatly surprised Chen Nan, who did not expect him to know his identity!
After a moment's thought, he felt relieved!
The other party was a super expert, and it was not surprising that he could see through his minor disguise!
Zhou Daoyuan continued: "I dislike Xuanyuan Yue very much, and of course, I am not the only one who dislikes Xuanyuan Yue!"
"Especially when he went to the mortal world to pick up his bride last time, I was very opposed to it!"
"But because of Junior Sister, I had to respect her opinion!"
"As for you impersonating Xuanyuan Yue, I don't think there's anything wrong with it!"
"Because before you have the absolute strength to contend with the Dao Sect, if you were to flee with your woman, you would inevitably be hunted by the Dao Sect!"
"This is a gamble for survival!"
If it were him, in the same situation, he would also choose to infiltrate the Dao Sect!
Zhou Daoyuan asked: "There is one thing I want to know, what was your cultivation level when you arrived?"
Chen Nan truthfully replied: "Golden Core stage, fourth layer!"
Gu Yu let out a cold snort: "No wonder you had to suppress your cultivation to the Golden Core stage, turns out you weren't your opponent's match!"
Chen Nan pouted: "Your disciple was too overbearing, what could I do?"
Zhou Daoyuan then asked: "What is your cultivation level now?"
Chen Nan: "Nascent Soul stage, ninth layer, peak!"
Boom!
A few simple words were like thunder!
Making everyone's scalp tingle!
Gu Yu exclaimed: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"You've only been on the mountain for about a month!"
"Even if you consumed ten thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!"
"And absorbed a thousand mid-grade spirit stones, it's still impossible to achieve such a massive leap in such a short period!"
The other elders nodded in agreement, unwilling to believe that Chen Nan possessed such terrifying talent!
Geng Rao swallowed and said: "Chen Nan does indeed have the strength of the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, we have all witnessed this!"
"Is this a human?" Zhou Daoyuan was so excited that he became incoherent: "No, this is a damn genius!"
Chen Nan felt a little embarrassed!
If it weren't for the Immortal Mansion, he wouldn't have been able to advance so rapidly in such a short time!
In the eyes of others, he had only taken a month to advance from the fourth layer of the Golden Core stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but in reality, he had spent three hundred years!
This kind of talent, should it not be considered a genius?
"The dragon egg has spirit. Since it has recognized Chen Nan, then Chen Nan is the new sect leader of our Dao Sect!" Zhou Daoyuan's voice boomed like thunder, instantly spreading throughout the entire Dao Sect!
"Whoever dares to disobey is defying fate!"
???
Chen Nan felt inexplicable and quickly said: "Sect Leader, I am just an outsider, I never intended to become the sect leader of the Dao Sect, please withdraw your command!"
Zhou Daoyuan shook his head: "The dragon egg has already recognized you, even if I withdraw my command, it will be of no avail!"
The elders also looked embarrassed!
Because everyone knew that the position of sect leader was not something that any single person could decide!
This was also why the Dao Sect had so many prodigies!
And why there were so many Holy Sons!
It didn't matter how many Holy Sons there were, after all, the new sect leader was ultimately chosen by the dragon egg!
Chen Nan awkwardly said: "If I become the sect leader, then will all of you have to listen to me?"
Zhou Daoyuan: "Yes!"
"Then it's settled. From now on, you will manage the sect on my behalf!" Chen Nan never thought of becoming the sect leader of the Dao Sect. He just wanted to complete the trial, enter the Dragon's Nest, and then search for the divine talisman. Who knew that he would be recognized by the dragon egg in a daze…
It was quite a drag…
Zhou Daoyuan bowed and accepted the order: "I obey the sect leader's decree!"
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment and said: "Can I speak with you privately? There is something I want to ask you!"
"Sect Leader, this way please!" Zhou Daoyuan made an inviting gesture and then led him to his cultivation place!
In fact, even if Chen Nan hadn't looked for him, he would have found Chen Nan to tell him things that only a sect leader of the Dao Sect could know!
Chen Nan got straight to the point: "Does your world have a divine talisman?"
"Do you know where it is?"
Zhou Daoyuan's eyes were full of surprise: "How does the Sect Leader know about the divine talisman?"
Chen Nan: "You don't need to ask how I know, just answer me if you know where the divine talisman is?"
Zhou Daoyuan said in a low voice: "You have already seen the divine talisman!"
Chen Nan was bewildered: "What? I've seen the divine talisman? When? How come I don't know?"
