As soon as he finished speaking, the stadium erupted in an uproar.
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
"It's been recorded. I'll play it in reverse later."
"Damn it, go to hell."
"Damn, this is a real spectacle!"
"Holy crap, the old Celestial Master is actually willing to pass on the position of Celestial Master? And to an outsider at that?"
"But Wudang and Longhu Mountain's Celestial Master's Mansion don't even share the same lineage, right?"
"That's not how it works. Didn't you say that Master Lu received the inheritance of Master Lü?"
"Aren't the Taoist masters really that pedantic? If we really go by that logic, wouldn't all the orthodox sects of Taoism have to call Lu Xuan their patriarch?"
"Take a picture, because you'll never see this scene again in your life."
"Why have they brought out the imperial seal? Are they going to pass on the throne on the spot?"
The audience erupted in uproar.
Even Lü Ci, who was trying to keep a low profile in the corner of the audience, widened his eyes.
Wow, I didn't know you could do that!
After Wang Ai's scheme against Wudang, Lü Ci felt that it was unlikely he could win over Lu Xuan, but he was still unwilling to give up and stayed on the mountain.
Who could have imagined that we would witness such a grand spectacle?
The Old Celestial Master is truly ruthless!
Lu Ci's eyes were shining.
He had always regarded the Celestial Master as an idol, but he never expected that the Celestial Master could be an idol in this respect.
What does my previous pride matter?
The old Celestial Master has no shame at all; he is the true role model for us all!
"Lu Ci" instantly felt as if a new world had opened up for her.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Lu Gong peeked out from behind him, looking surprised.
Seeing his great-grandfather's tense expression, he was afraid that his great-grandfather, at his age, wouldn't be able to hold on.
"It's nothing, I just feel like there's a new way out."
Lu Ci's gaze was deep and unfathomable. The downfall of the Wang family was a foregone conclusion. Even if it wasn't a case of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," it was still a case of "when the rabbit dies, the fox will feel sorrow."
Lu Ci had a premonition that the company was really planning to take advantage of the situation to clear out the area and reshape the order of the supernatural world.
In the new world of supernatural beings, those prestigious and righteous sects and legitimate forces will remain, but not the powerful families who control vast resources. Lü Ci must find a way out for the Lü family.
Now it seems the Old Master has pointed out a new path.
He looked at Lü Gong, his most favored grandson at the moment...
What? You're asking about Lü Liang? Are you kidding me?
How could my Lü family have a grandson who has joined the Quanxing Sect?
Neither he nor I are from the same Lü family. My Lü family name is Lü Zu, not Lü Liang. We are completely unrelated!
Lu Ci looked at his most favored grandson and said softly.
"I remember you wanted to join Wudang Sect before?"
"Huh? No you..."
Lu Gong was taken aback at first, but then, under Lu Ci's deep gaze, he smoothly changed his words.
"No... wrong, actually I have always admired the Wudang tradition."
"That's good!"
Lu Ci nodded in satisfaction, then stood up.
"Go down the mountain now to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. I will personally escort you to your master's place."
"Are you so anxious?"
"I'm afraid it'll be too late, hurry! Hurry!"
Undercurrents were also surging beneath the surface.
"Acting Sect Leader, what... what's going on?"
"It's alright, in fact, it suits my taste perfectly."
"Ah? This..."
"Don't forget the Celestial Master's Instructions. When the time comes to pass on the skills, the two great warriors, the Celestial Master and Lu Xuan, will be temporarily crippled. Wouldn't that be heaven helping me?"
"Ah! That makes sense! The acting sect leader is indeed farsighted."
Amidst the uproar and the scheming of those with ulterior motives, Lu Xuan and the Old Celestial Master stood facing each other.
Lu Xuan: "(￢_￢)"
Old Celestial Master: "???"
Lu Xuan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "I said..."
"Old Celestial Master, are you going to go this far?"
The old master looked at him with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying."
"Master Lu! What are you saying? Aren't I passing on the heavy responsibility of the Celestial Master to you?"
Old Master, are you aware of the grammatical errors in your statement?
Lu Xuan's eyelids were twitching.
"Aren't you afraid that my master will come up to Longhu Mountain with his sword, along with my uncles and senior brothers, to kill you?"
The old Celestial Master said with great passion, "For Longhu Mountain, I am willing to give up all personal honor and disgrace, including life and death."
"Old Celestial Master, you... six!"
For the first time, Lu Xuan felt that he was inferior to others.
The old master's shamelessness is... unparalleled.
This might even be able to withstand its own sword light.
Chapter 121: Boring, I Want to See Rivers of Blood
"Why can't you pass the position of Celestial Master to an outsider like me?"
"Who said that?"
The old Celestial Master looked on with exaggerated astonishment: "Celestial Master Lu, you are a descendant of Lu Zu!"
"The lineage of all Taoist traditions can be traced back to Master Lü. By seniority, I am your descendant!"
Lu Xuan glanced at the old Celestial Master silently.
You can pull it down!
How could the Taoist tradition be so outdated?
If that's really the case, my master Zhou Meng shouldn't have accepted me as his disciple in the first place; he should have just knelt down and kowtowed to me.
"Besides, aren't there rumors that you've set your sights on the position of Celestial Master?"
The old master had a calm expression that said, "Since that's the case, so be it."
"Then I will grant your wish..."
"Come on! Master Lu, I'm ready..."
That's right! It's the Ruthless Hand Chop.
Lu Xuan unleashed his ruthless hand chop.
Too lazy to waste time with the old master, Lu Xuan delivered a ruthless chop to the old master's neck.
The old master immediately felt dizzy and his legs kicked out.
Zhang Lingyu, who was forcibly dragged to pose by the Celestial Master, instinctively helped the Celestial Master up, feeling so embarrassed that he was speechless.
"Master Lu, I'm so sorry..."
Zhang Lingyu was drugged and forced by the Old Celestial Master to pose for a photo, and right now he wished he could disappear into the ground.
Although he also felt that Lu Xuan possessed exceptional talent and extraordinary intellect, coupled with the inheritance of Lu Zu, it would be considered an honor to pass the position of Celestial Master to him, but...
Wait a minute? Why the "but"?
Zhang Lingyu's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt a connection with the souls of the past Celestial Masters, making his already clear understanding even clearer.
Yes! Why the "but"?
So what if Lu Xuan is from Wudang?
The rule that someone from another family cannot succeed as Celestial Master is something that if the previous Celestial Masters were alive, they would probably all rise up and change it if they saw Master Lu Xuan.
"Master Lu, could you please help me carry this seal for a moment?"
Zhang Lingyu looked completely bewildered.
"I'm a little unsteady on my feet while supporting Master. Could you please take the Celestial Master's Seal for me?"
Lu Xuan: "(￢_￢)"
Haha! Zhang Lingyu, you've really gone astray!
Your map is way too short.
If I help you take the Celestial Master's Seal, you'll probably congratulate me on becoming the Celestial Master in the next moment, right?
He turned to look at Old Master Lu Jin, who had been watching the show the whole time.
