Not long after Zhang Xing left, Chen Xian opened his eyes.
He looked in the direction where they had disappeared and thought to himself, "That was close!"
Just now, he almost detonated his Moon Divine Artifact in exchange for a glimmer of hope to escape.
This was also his last resort to survive.
Even if his cultivation level dropped to the Immortal State, he believed that the Sect Master would help him recover quickly.
Fortunately, the Sect Master of the White Tiger Sect's decree came in time!
Time flew by quickly. Zhang Xing did not stop to rest and soon returned to the White Tiger Sect.
The entire White Tiger Sect was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The disciples of the sect were dressed in new clothes and held a grand welcome ceremony.
When Zhang Xing entered the main hall of the White Tiger Sect, the Vice Sect Master Mo Xi, the ten core disciples, and the six Guardian Elders all stood up to congratulate him.
This was the first time the White Tiger Sect had received such treatment since its establishment.
Zhang Xing was the first person to receive such treatment!
"Zhang Xing, hear me!"
At this moment, Yin Donglou, one of the ten core disciples, stood up with a golden cloth in his hand and shouted coldly.
Zhang Xing's face was solemn. He knelt down on one knee and bowed with his hands clasped together. "Zhang Xing is here!"
"Zhang Xing has made great contributions to the White Tiger Sect. He is allowed to join the ranks of the core disciples."
Yin Donglou glanced coldly at Zhang Xing as he said this. There was a hint of jealousy and disdain in his eyes.
Then, he continued to read the decree.
"At the same time, Zhang Xing is relieved of his position as the Seventh Guardian Elder and the Deputy Commander of the expeditionary army.
I hope that you will work hard in the future and strive to reach the Immortal State as soon as possible. "
"Disciple Zhang Xing thanks the Sect Master for your help. I will not disappoint you in the future!"
Zhang Xing raised his hands above his head and received the Sect Master's decree.
"Zhang Xing, once you join the ranks of the core disciples, all your other positions will be automatically removed. This is the rule, do you understand?"
Vice Sect Master Mo Xi said with a smile.
"I understand!"
Zhang Xing cupped his hands and said.
"Also, I have to tell you that there are two more people who have a chance to join the ranks of the core disciples.
Joining the ranks of the core disciples does not mean that you will be a core disciple.
I still need the three of you to fight for it.
The rule to fight for was to challenge the existing ten true disciples.
Only by defeating them can you become a true true disciple. "
Although Zhang Xing already knew this rule, Mo Xi still repeated it.
The position of True Inheritor was not permanent. Every ten years, they would have to accept a round of challenges. The loser would withdraw, and the winner would enter.
Comparatively speaking, the competition for the position of a true disciple was still relatively cruel.
Those disciples who failed were almost all crippled.
Because this kind of challenge was a life and death battle, there was no such thing as stopping here.
The ranking of the top ten True Disciples started from the Eldest Senior Brother Nan Yuan, and the first in the Combat Power Ranking was the highest.
Therefore, the new true disciples all chose to challenge the last few.
Yin Donglou was one of the two challengers in the last session.
However, he did not challenge the other three senior brothers. Instead, he directly challenged the first senior brother.
In the end, he won, and the original Eldest Senior Brother died in battle.
This was how cruel the White Tiger Sect was.
Of course, if any of the other nine brothers were not convinced, they could also challenge Yin Donglou.
Yin Donglou defeated the previous Eldest Senior Brother with only three moves. Who would dare to challenge him?
He had not slacked off for a single day in the past ten years. He had been diligent in practicing the White Tiger Roaring to the Sky skill that only true disciples could cultivate.
If nothing unexpected happened, Yin Donglou would definitely advance to the Divine Realm within a hundred years and officially become the new Sect Master of the White Tiger Sect.
The old Sect Master would abdicate and become the Grand Elder.
The original Grand Elder would enter the Second Layer of Heaven in search of greater opportunities.
Or he would fail to advance to the Middle-stage of the Divine Realm and die!
Zhang Xing thought that he would be able to see the mysterious Sect Master this time, but the Sect Master still did not appear.
It was said that only the Vice Sect Master could see the Sect Master.
Even the top ten True Inheritors had only heard of his voice but had never seen him.
