The Endless Sea Nine Sons Sect Master Succession Conference was fast approaching. Its purpose was to formally introduce Sect Master Luo to the many factions making their way in the Southern Endless Sea.
But Sect Master Luo himself was nowhere to be found. When the time came, whom were they supposed to introduce to the invited factions?
Were they to grab a random stand-in, declare him the ninth Sect Master of the Nine Sons of the Endless Sea, and hastily call it a day?
Quite a few Deacons and Elders of the Nine Sons of the Endless Sea Alliance Sect had considered doing just that.
In the end, however, they had rejected the idea.
Finding someone who resembled Sect Master Luo in build and appearance was trouble enough. What if someone seized the opportunity to cause trouble at the Sect Master Succession Conference and openly challenged Sect Master Luo's authority?
If the stand-in could display enough strength to crush the challenger, all would be well.
But if the stand-in was not strong enough and the challenger's scheme succeeded,
everyone present who had used Sect Master Luo's name to pass off an impostor would be in trouble. Not one of them would escape.
There was no need to walk into a trap for his sake.
Even so, they still had to keep looking for him.
Several more days passed in the blink of an eye. The Endless Sea Nine Sons Sect Master Succession Conference was now upon them.
Many of the Alliance Sect Deacons and Elders in the hall who had barely managed to keep their composure were now openly anxious.
If Sect Master Luo still did not appear, the much-anticipated Endless Sea Nine Sons Sect Master Succession Conference would instantly become one of the Endless Sea's most widely told jokes.
