The three of them flew back to the Qilin Mountain Sect on their swords.

Throughout the journey, Liu Yu and Qiao Zheng seemed to be immersed in the shock of the Elder Council and Xie Yunzhen's departure, repeatedly asking Qin Tian several times, "Will they come back?"

It was only after Qin Tian repeatedly assured them, "No, if they could return, that would be terrifying..." that they quieted down.

Upon arriving at the Main Vein, Qin Tian was curious; the Red Sword concealed the life essence of that white-haired woman. Logically, it should be a living thing and not fit in a storage bag, right?

He tried it, but the result was shocking—

The Dragon-Patterned Red Sword was actually placed in the storage bag!

This meant the Dragon-Patterned Red Sword had no life!

"She was obviously possessing this sword and even spoke, how could it have no life?"

Qin Tian was bewildered.

But since coming to the Spiritual Domain, he had seen countless strange sights, so after wrestling with it for a moment without understanding, he let it be.

When Qin Tian and the other two arrived at the Main Vein's square, it was no longer the empty space it once was; it was now crowded with a large number of disciples and elders.

There were those from the Main Vein, the Right Pulse, and the Left Pulse; disciples and elders from all three were gathered.

While they held the Elder Council meeting on Hidden Cloud Mountain, the disciples and elders of the Qilin Mountain Sect were on Qilin Mountain, filled with anxiety.

Everyone knew something significant would happen at this Elder Council meeting.

Whether they supported Qin Tian, Zhang Fulin, or Xie Yunzhen, all knew that whoever returned from the Elder Council would be the true master of the Qilin Mountain Sect from then on, no second chances!

And now, everyone could see clearly—Qin Tian, Qiao Zheng, and Liu Yu had returned unharmed!

Xie Yunzhen, Ma Changqing, Zhang Fulin, were nowhere in sight!

Could it be that Qin Tian had dealt with the entire Elder Council?

Nearly everyone was utterly shocked.

After all, the Elder Council was an entity high above, revered and untouchable in the Qilin Mountain Sect.

Most people thought that if Qin Tian went to Hidden Cloud Mountain, he'd either be killed and unable to return or would meekly concede the position of Sect Leader and leave the Qilin Mountain Sect forever!

But no one expected that it would be Qin Tian who returned!

Qin Tian had won!

On the square, a cold wind howled, and everyone stared at Qin Tian and the other two, silent and focused.

Qin Tian took a deep breath, looking at the hundreds of disciples and elders of the Qilin Mountain Sect before him. He gathered his strength and shouted loudly:

"Do any of you have anything to say now!"

"I, Qin Tian, am the Sect Leader of the Qilin Mountain Sect, who is still not convinced!?"

Shouting twice, releasing True Qi, the voice reminiscent of Tiger Roar Dragon Chant echoed on the square for a long time!

Rumble...

The crowd suddenly began to move, and then Qin Tian saw everyone in front suddenly bend their knees and kneel to him!

Everyone knelt!

"Greetings to Sect Leader Qin!"

"Greetings to Sect Leader Qin!"

"Greetings to Sect Leader Qin!"

Everyone knelt and shouted in unison, their voices resounding like thunder!

Qin Tian stood proudly, like a god or Buddha, overwhelmingly dominant!

Beside him, Liu Yu and Qiao Zheng also knelt and worshipped!

Qin Tian wanted to pull up his master but ultimately withdrew his hand.

The Spiritual Domain World is different from Earth, where strength reigns supreme, and the strong dominate!

Upon one's rise to power, even parents and relatives would kneel in celebratory homage! Just like ancient kings ascending to the throne!

With everyone kneeling, Qin Tian scanned the crowd and declared loudly, "From now on, I hope Qilin Mountain Sect will unite and grow stronger together!"

"From today, everyone starts anew, regardless of your past. I, Qin Tian, will forgive and forget!"

"But if anyone dares to cause trouble again, the consequences will be paid in blood!"

As Qin Tian spoke, he suddenly threw a powerful punch, the Fist Light blasting forward, whistling over the heads of the gathered people, and directly shattered the thousand-pound stone lion in front of the Main Vein's hall into powder!

Hiss!

The entire crowd was in an uproar!

Everyone speculated about Qin Tian's cultivation level.

Qin Tian declared directly, "In the future, anyone who wants to challenge my authority without reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, do not act recklessly!"

After speaking, Qin Tian stood with his hands behind his back and strode toward the main hall.

"Greetings to Sect Leader Qin!"

"Greetings to Sect Leader Qin!"

"Greetings to Sect Leader Qin!"

At this moment, the crowd was deeply shaken by Qin Tian's cultivation. The Nascent Soul Stage is a level that over ninety percent of people in the Qilin Mountain Sect will never reach in their lifetime!

And Sect Leader Qin is only in his twenties...

Worshipful admiration, infinite reverence!

As they watched Qin Tian's back, everyone felt that he was no mere man but a deity!

...

Since Qin Tian returned from Hidden Cloud Mountain, the atmosphere of the entire Qilin Mountain Sect transformed drastically.

No one mentioned Xie Yunzhen and the others anymore; everyone talked about Sect Leader Qin's cultivation with reverence and envy.

That day, Qin Tian officially assumed the leadership at the Main Vein, conducting the ascension ceremony for the Sect Leader.

At the meeting, he solemnly announced: "From now on, the Qilin Mountain Sect's Elder Council is history, Hidden Cloud Mountain is history, and our Qilin Mountain Sect is no longer associated with Hidden Cloud Mountain or the Elder Council!"

With these words, those who speculated whether the Elder Council had been destroyed by Qin Tian finally had peace of mind.

It seemed Qin Tian not only destroyed Xie Yunzhen and others but also eradicated the Elder Council—truly ferocious and terrifying!

At the same time, Qin Tian also solemnly announced that Qiao Zheng would serve as the Right Pulse Sect Leader while concurrently being the Main Vein's First Elder. If Qin Tian were absent from the Qilin Mountain Sect, Qiao Zheng would assume Sect Leader duties!

Whereas Qiao Yongyan would be the Left Pulse Sect Leader, and henceforth, the Three Veins Sect Leaders would no longer be elected through the Sect Leader Challenge but through a combination of the Sect Leader's recommendation and the elder council of the Three Veins, not only focusing on martial arts cultivation.

After becoming Sect Leader, Qin Tian introduced a series of measures that revitalized the atmosphere of the entire Qilin Mountain Sect.

At this point, it had only been two years since Qin Tian joined the Qilin Mountain Sect.

In two years, from a slave disciple scorned by everyone, he rose to become the Sect Leader, an individual whose journey everyone had to acknowledge.

At this moment, the one with the most emotional conflict inside was Qiao Wenxuan.

Back in the days, seeing Qin Tian's strength and rise, Qiao Wenxuan already felt a sense of inferiority.

Although Qin Tian accepted her, she always felt unworthy of him.

And now, with Qin Tian's elevation to Sect Leader, the entire sect revered him, obeyed him, and hailed him as a once-in-a-century genius of the Qilin Mountain Sect.

Meanwhile, her cultivation was merely at the Qi Refining Peak, worlds apart from Qin Tian—even a hundred and eight thousand li away... Under such emotions, her inner sense of inferiority was immense.

That night, when Qin Tian finished his cultivation and was about to sleep, Qiao Wenxuan, dressed in white, with a nervous yet shy expression, knocked on Qin Tian's door.
