Chapter 695: Chapter 379: Change of Leadership

Ji Yexue spoke in the most composed tone, saying something that left everyone speechless.

The disciples of Yao Tai Sect were in an uproar.

Having just defeated the Celestial Evil Cult, they encircled a group of traitors.

In the blink of an eye, the Sect Leader handed over the entire sect.

This... how could this be happening?

Someone looked towards Chu Qing, hoping he would be noble and not join the Sect Leader in this ludicrous action.

After all, the Sect Leader seemed indifferent; to her, the importance of Yao Tai Sect was questionable.

But Chu Qing appeared to be a sensible person, he should know how significant Yao Tai Sect is... He shouldn’t accept such a ’grand gift.’

Yet Chu Qing did not refuse as they had hoped; instead, he calmly said:

"Words alone are unreliable."

With a mere clasp of the lips, she claimed she wanted to give Yao Tai Sect away.

But the Yao Tai Sect disciples wouldn’t recognize him, much less follow him...

What point is there in that?

Ji Yexue thought for a moment and said:

"I have a sword named ’Twelve Cities,’ it is the Sect Leader’s sword and also a symbol of trust.

"With this sword, you can command all disciples of Yao Tai Sect."

"Sect Leader, please reconsider!!"

Before Chu Qing could reply, some Yao Tai Sect disciples had already knelt down to plead.

"This person’s background is unknown, you cannot hand over authority lightly."

Others spoke up from another direction to oppose the idea.

These two seemed to flip a switch, and Yao Tai Sect disciples began to beg that the Sect Leader not sell the sect.

Ji Yexue however didn’t look at them but turned her gaze to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was somewhat curious:

"You know Sword Technique?

"Yet I didn’t see you use it earlier..."

"Earlier... I forgot."

Ji Yexue said softly:

"I haven’t sparred with anyone for years, and nearly forgot I could still use the Jade Capital Seventeen Swords.

"After falling behind, I thought of it... But it was already too late."

Chu Qing had heard of the reputation of the Jade Capital Seventeen Swords; it’s a secret technique only the Sect Leader of Yao Tai Sect can practice.

Its status is no less than the White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life.

Chu Qing nodded:

"Alright, but I don’t need the sword.

"You issue the Sect Leader’s Order, declare that from today onwards, Yao Tai Sect should regard me as the superior, even the Sect Leader ranking below me.

"Life and death, all in my hands.

"I suppose by doing so, when I need you, you won’t feign compliance.

"Other than this, Yao Tai Sect remains the same as in the past."

"Alright."

Ji Yexue immediately agreed.

Yet the disciples kneeling on the ground who had pleaded for half the day to no avail, upon hearing the two reaching an agreement so casually, were at once both furious and annoyed.

Furious at Yao Tai Sect changing hands in mere words.

Annoyed that despite their stance, the Sect Leader didn’t even glance their way.

Someone immediately stood up angrily:

"Such an unilateral decision on a matter of great importance, how could a sect like this not leave people heartbroken!

"Brothers, I, Zhou Zhiyuan, will leave Yao Tai Sect today, and refuse to be manipulated so easily!!"

"Alright."

As he finished speaking, Ji Yexue’s gaze fell on him:

"If you wish to leave the sect, I grant you permission.

"Furthermore, you won’t be punished as a traitor to the sect...

"However, the secret techniques you practiced within Yao Tai Sect cannot be taken or divulged outside.

"To prevent accidents, your martial arts will be abolished, and you’ll be turned into an idiot, then expelled down the mountain.

"Do you accept?"

Zhou Zhiyuan’s face lost its angry expression, he looked at Ji Yexue, then at Chu Qing, and finally at the many disciples of Yao Tai Sect.

After thinking for a while, with a thud he knelt down:

"Sect Leader is serious, a disciple lives and dies as part of Yao Tai Sect, I will never leave the sect!"

"..."

Such shamelessness was indeed breathtaking.

Chu Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

He found this person interesting... if he could be called one who knows how to adapt, he was the first to declare he wanted to leave Yao Tai Sect, clearly not grasping how to adapt.

But when Ji Yexue proposed to turn him into an idiot and abolish his martial arts.

He first looked to Ji Yexue, then to himself, and finally at the disciples of Yao Tai Sect.

These seemingly ordinary glances were, in reality, weighing options in his mind.

Ultimately realizing, he couldn’t beat Ji Yexue, nor could he beat Chu Qing, even adding in all Yao Tai Sect disciples to resist this decision, they would be easily suppressed.

In this situation, the only option was to accept reality.

Chu Qing speculated this in his mind, perhaps not entirely accurate, but likely not far off.

Thus, he smiled at Ji Yexue and said:

"Yao Tai Sect indeed has many talented individuals."

Ji Yexue casually said:

"Each generation is worse than the last."

With a young face looking about twenty years old, she spoke like an elder, creating a stark contrast.

The resistance from Yao Tai Sect disciples dispersed due to Zhou Zhiyuan’s interruption.

They all recognized one problem...

They couldn’t resist!

When Ji Yexue was in seclusion, Yao Tai Sect was managed by various Elders.

After Ji Yexue emerged, Yao Tai Sect became entirely under her control.

They might not agree, but they had to obey.

Therefore, Ji Yexue didn’t need to seek their opinions; if they couldn’t tolerate it, the only choice was to leave... but the knowledge from the sect must be returned, and Yao Tai Sect martial arts cannot be disclosed, hence they would be turned into idiots.

Having their memories erased wasn’t enough, what if they were pretending?

Under such circumstances, no one dared to propose leaving the sect again; they could only acquiesce.
