Chapter 975: Chapter 975 The Shameless Guy
At this moment, the three Elders all appeared exceedingly excited, as the injuries that had troubled them for many years had suddenly been resolved, which was nothing short of miraculous.
"It really is healed; this is fantastic!"
The third Elder, with a face full of excitement, spoke as he felt the changes in his own body, his eyes beaming with joy, and he glanced at Ye Luo:
"Boy, considering you’ve healed the three of us, we can let you join the Five Elements Sect as one of our Elders."
"Elder, this..."
Duan Ningyu had not expected that after Ye Luo helped these three Elders heal their internal injuries, they would still do this. She wanted Ye to be the leader of the Five Elements Sect, but now, this Elder was merely offering Ye Luo the position of an Elder, which was truly an insult to Ye Luo.
"I also think that with your capabilities, being an Elder isn’t bad. Jin Yunhai just died, why don’t you take his place as the Metal Sect Elder?"
Another Elder from the Spirit Sea Realm at the Fourth Level spoke indifferently to Ye Luo.
As for the middle Elder from the Spirit Sea Realm at the Fifth Level, he did not say anything, but his aim was clearly the same as the other two.
Clearly, they still were unwilling to let Ye Luo become the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, given that calling a young man with only the Saint Realm strength as their master was a bit too much for these Spirit Sea Realm experts to accept.
Ye Luo looked at the faces of these three Elders and laughed coldly, his expression still very calm.
"I have never seen anyone as shamelessly thick-skinned as you guys. God, you’re fast at burning the bridge after crossing it!"
"Boy, what did you just say? Offering you a position of the Metal Sect Elder is because you saved us and also because you are of the Nine Yang Physique, otherwise with your age and power, you would never qualify for such a position as an Elder."
The previously aggressive Elder, called the third Elder, glared at Ye Luo and spoke harshly again.
"It seems that you all believe your injuries have completely healed, huh!"
Ye Luo crossed his arms, his lips curving into a playful smile.
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, the faces of the three Elders changed once more.
"Although your injuries seem to have healed now, they haven’t fully recovered yet. If you don’t believe it, press an inch below your abdomen."
Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, all three quickly pressed, and a sharp pain enveloped their brains.
"A year from now, you will need another treatment session to completely heal the internal injuries, otherwise, they will erupt like a volcano and finish you off, and no elixirs will save your life, only I can."
Ye Luo said with a smile curving his lips.
"You..."
Hearing Ye Luo’s words, the faces of the three Elders darkened, glaring at him in anger, and even Duan Ningyu looked at Ye Luo in surprise, not expecting him to have held back a move.
"Really think I’m a fool, right? Let me tell you, you now have only two choices. The first is to kill me; you can then live for another year."
"The second is to obediently follow my orders without any selfish thoughts, and I will treat you after a year to ensure you do not die. Decide for yourselves."
Ye Luo stood with his arms crossed, laughing coldly.
For a moment, the faces of the three Elders changed continuously, their expressions filled with hesitation and conflict.
"You’re quite something, boy, quite cunning indeed, to have kept such a move to yourself."
In Ye Luo’s Spirit Sea, Ao Long’s voice resounded.
"Actually, what I just said was all false; their injuries had indeed already fully recovered. I hadn’t expected them to be so shameless, so I had to resort to this tactic."
"You little rascal, you are indeed even more shameless! Hahaha!" Ao Long said, laughing heartily.
The three elders naturally did not know about this, and were unaware that their bodies were already fine, and that everything just now was fabricated.
At this moment, they were struggling with a choice: whether to recognize this young man as their leader or to kill him and live for another year.
Eventually, they decided to come out, and the three of them kneeled before Ye Luo.
"Subordinate Yan Dong!"
"Yan Xi!"
"Yan Nan!"
"Greetings, Master!"
The three of them said in unison as they looked at Ye Luo, clearly choosing life over dignity.
Seeing these three elders kneel and acknowledge Ye Luo as their master, Duan Ningyu had an expression of admiration, looking at Ye Luo with a mix of respect.
"You are very wise to have made the right choice, but I hope you don’t entertain any other ideas, or else you can go meet the Netherworld King after one year, and by then, not even the immortals will be able to save you," Ye Luo commanded authoritatively, a powerful aura emanating from him, imbued with some imperial majesty.
"Yes!" the three elders responded in unison.
In the heart of the underground castle, at this moment, nearly four hundred members of the Five Elements Sect were gathered here, with Shui Lanxin, Kun Ling, and Huo Ji standing at the forefront.
Earlier, Shui Lanxin had suddenly transmitted an order from the Sect Leader to gather everyone here, though the reason was unknown.
As everyone speculated, Duan Ningyu and Ye Luo emerged, followed by the three elder Yan Dong, resembling respectful servants behind Ye Luo.
Looking at Ye Luo, many people present who had seen him before flickered with peculiar expressions, and Huo Ji also looked deeply at Ye Luo.
"Everyone, I have gathered you here today because there are some things I need to say," Duan Ningyu announced gravely to the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
"The first matter is that the Metal Sect Elder and the Wood Sect Elder intended to take control of the entire Five Elements Sect and ascend to the position of Sect Leader themselves, but fortunately, the Water Elder and Mr. Ye uncovered this and ultimately executed the two," Duan Ningyu stated, causing a buzz among the disciples.
"The second matter is that, after the decision by me, the three elders, and several other elders, we officially recognize Mr. Ye Luo as the master of the Five Elements Sect, with me as his aide," Duan Ningyu declared directly.
Suddenly, this statement stirred a thousand waves, and the hundreds of disciples of the Five Elements Sect all wore shocked expressions.
Huo Ji’s face changed instantly, but she dared not say anything.
At that moment, the disciples began to chatter among themselves.
"Silence, this is a decision made together by me, the three elders, and several other elders; it is also for the benefit of the development of the Five Elements Sect. I believe Mr. Ye will definitely lead the Five Elements Sect to glory," Duan Ningyu said, but the presence of the Five Elements Sect disciples seemed somewhat skeptical of Ye Luo, as he appeared so young and not like some grandmaster. Naturally, they found it hard to believe that such a young man could lead them to any glory.
Watching their expressions, Ye Luo simply smiled and then scanned those present, saying, "I don’t need you to believe or not believe in me; all I need is for you to obey my commands and arrangements. That will be enough."
