Washing Away Killing Intent, Re-forging the Immortal Executioner (Seeking Subscriptions! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Canglingzi watched Chun leave, then asked Ling Qing, "You are about to take charge of the great sect, but with your current cultivation, you may not be able to subdue all the demons and monsters within it.

"Several altar masters in particular were personally taught by me. Their strength is formidable, beyond what you can contend with now.

"I can force them into submission for you, but I fear they will submit in appearance while refusing in their hearts, paying lip service while working against you behind your back, and making you lose face later on.

"What are your thoughts?"

This was also a test for Ling Qing.

Ling Qing answered calmly, "This disciple has considered it as well."

Taking out the Immortal-Slaying Sword, severed into two pieces, he said, "That is why I ask Uncle Master to help this disciple refine this sword anew.

"Tomorrow, it will naturally be enough to cow all the sect's disciples and followers."

Canglingzi nodded. "Good. With this sword, you should be able to intimidate them somewhat."

Afterward, in the quiet chamber, Canglingzi personally helped Ling Qing consecrate and refine the Immortal-Slaying Sword anew.

Though the demons and monsters of the Tongtian Cult had not dared to strike a killing blow against Ling Qing before, out of deference to Canglingzi, that did not mean they thought highly of him.

Now that they heard the cult leader intended to have him take command of the great sect, they said they would certainly attend the ceremony, but secretly planned to make him look bad.

At the same time, at Carefree Residence, the immortals had only just finished treating He Xiangu's injuries when they received the news.

Ling Qing was to become the Tongtian Cult's young lord, taking Tongtian Cult Leader's place in governing the Tongtian Cult.
