The Great Elder was so angry that he vomited blood. There was nothing he could do. That black palm print of his was completely reflected back, which was equivalent to a punch to his face. It was unbearable.
Now that the Great Elder no longer had any combat strength, he urgently needed to recuperate.
The Great Elder struggled to stand up and flew into the air. He wanted to leave the Martial Arts Practice Ground as soon as possible so as not to embarrass himself.
"Great Elder, don't be in a hurry to leave. Don't you still have a lot of powerful moves? Come on, hit me!"
Ye Qing was unrestrained. With the Thorny Fire Feather Saint Armor, he wasn't afraid at all.
The Great Elder's face turned black. He didn't dare to continue attacking. If he attacked a few more times, he would probably die before he could kill Ye Qing.
"Stinking brat, I won't let this matter rest!"
The Great Elder didn't forget to threaten Lin Fan as he fled. His eyes were filled with ferocity.
This time, he was completely defeated. He was humiliated by a mere inner sect disciple. He would probably become the laughing stock of the Higashiba Seimune in the future.
Ye Qing watched the Great Elder leave and sneered in his heart. Just now, the Great Elder wanted to kill him. Now that the Great Elder was injured, Ye Qing had to beat the dog while it was down!
"Boom!"
In the air, a fire lotus condensed. It was the Six-colored Fire Lotus.
The essence force in Ye Qing's body was depleting rapidly. After condensing the Six-colored Fire Lotus once, his essence force was almost depleted.
However, Ye Qing wasn't worried. In his system space, there were countless Destiny Creation Divine Pills that replenished his essence force very quickly.
Ye Qing casually grabbed a handful of Destiny Creation Divine Pills and swallowed them. The essence force in his body quickly recovered.
Boundless elemental energy surged, and a six-colored fire lotus with unimaginable destructive power blasted towards the fleeing Grand Elder.
"Boom!"
A fire lotus exploded in the sky. Ye Qing's six-colored fire lotus was extremely powerful, forming an essence force storm. Grand Elder was in the center of the storm and felt extremely uncomfortable.
If the Great Elder was at his peak, blocking the Six-colored Fiery Lotus would not be a problem. After all, Ye Qing's cultivation was not high, and the Six-colored Fiery Lotus' power had not reached its true peak.
Now that the Great Elder was seriously injured, it would be difficult for him to resist the Six-colored Fiery Lotus released by Ye Qing.
At the critical moment, Grand Elder suddenly turned around, mobilized the remaining essence energy in his body, and slapped out a palm!
The surging essence force rushed over, condensing into a black palm print in the air. Even though the Grand Elder was injured, his foundation was deep and he could still barely fight.
"Brat, you still won't give up?!" The Great Elder roared. The black palm imprint collided with the six-colored fiery lotus.
In the next moment, the Great Elder let out a blood-curdling scream as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He had underestimated the power of the Six-colored Fiery Lotus. With his severely injured state, it would be difficult for him to hold on for too long.
"Brat, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life. Just you wait!"
The Great Elder's face was grim. He forcefully mustered a gust of essence force, increased his speed, and fled into the distance.
As a ninth-stage Imperishable Realm existence, the Great Elder's escaping speed was still pretty good. Very soon, he disappeared from everyone's sight, fleeing in defeat.
In the Martial Arts Practice Field, all the inner sect disciples were shocked. They found it hard to believe that someone as powerful as the Great Elder actually fled in defeat in front of Ye Qing.
Of course, Ye Qing was able to win because he relied on that incredible ultimate divine weapon which could reflect damage.
However, ultimate divine weapon was also a part of one's strength. Ye Qing being able to defeat the Great Elder proved his strength.
In the future, Ye Qing's position in the inner sect would be incomparably lofty and even more difficult to provoke!
As for violating the sect's rules and killing Xia Ziran, it was completely a small matter.
In the face of absolute strength, any rule could be broken. Ye Qing had proved his heaven-defying strength. Even if the real upper echelons of Higashiba Seimune were here, they would treat Ye Qing differently and would not punish him easily!
After the Great Elder left, there was no one in the Martial Arts Practice Field who could punish Ye Qing.
With Gongsun Xiao's help, the remaining Elders all looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do with Ye Qing.
"Everyone, my Master's innate talent is monstrous and has obtained the first place in the inner sect ranking competition. Now he has the qualifications to become a legacy disciple, right?"
Gongsun Xiao said indifferently, his gaze scrutinizing the various Elders.
As the number two among the nine Elders, Gongsun Xiao's words carried a lot of weight.
In addition, Ye Qing's strength was heaven-defying and no one could subdue him. Becoming a legacy disciple was a matter of course.
Amidst the silence, the Third Elder, Zhao Shangren, stood out and expressed his opposition.
"In my opinion, Ye Qing has no respect for his elders and even killed his fellow disciples. Such a person is not fit to become a legacy disciple!"
Zhao Shangren was very unhappy with Ye Qing. If he could stop Ye Qing from becoming a legacy disciple, he would definitely do his best.
According to the rules of Higashiba Seimune, if an inner sect disciple wanted to become a legacy disciple, he would have to obtain the unanimous approval of the nine Elders.
If the nine Elders could not reach a consensus, then the minority would have to obey the majority.
With the Great Elder gone, there were only eight Elders present. It was also appropriate for Ye Qing to be promoted to a legacy disciple.
Gongsun Xiao's gaze swept across the crowd, then said unhurriedly, "Everyone, the Third Elder has already expressed his opinion. What about the rest of you?"
As Gongsun Xiao spoke, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. Her attitude was very clear. She supported Ye Qing and all those who opposed Ye Qing would become her enemies.
The remaining Elders were silent and looked at each other. For a moment, it seemed like they could not make up their minds.
Not far away, Ye Qing's figure moved and rushed into the sky, standing side by side with the other Elders.
Ye Qing said indifferently, "If any Elder is unconvinced, feel free to attack. I, Ye Qing, will not move and let you attack me!"
When Ye Qing said this, the corners of those elders' mouths twitched, and their faces darkened.
They knew that you had a powerful ultimate artifact on you. If they still attacked, wouldn't they be looking for trouble?
One had to know that even the Great Elder's attack was useless and was reflected back. If the other Elders rashly attacked, they would probably end up worse than the Great Elder.
"I'm convinced!"
"I agree to let you become a legacy disciple!"
"I also agree!"
"This Elder does not object!"
The remaining Elders all spoke up. In fact, other than Zhao Shangren, none of the Elders dared to oppose Ye Qing.
They had no enmity with Ye Qing. Of course, they did not want to offend such a ruthless person.
Only the Third Elder, Zhao Shangren, could not get along with Ye Qing because he was Ye Qing's disciple. He wanted to make things difficult for Ye Qing.
"Zhao Shangren, what else do you have to say?" Gongsun Xiao said with a sullen face.
Zhao Shangren's face was ashen. He had no choice but to let Ye Qing become a legacy disciple.
Being a legacy disciple of Higashiba Seimune was an honor. Every legacy disciple would be highly valued by the sect.
After the inner sect ranking competition ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Ye Qing became the most talked about topic.
During the ranking competition, Ye Qing's performance was remarkable. He could be said to be a legend in the inner sect. He completely replaced Xiao Ziran's position.
