Huo Hai's return was a major event for the entire Celestial Star Sect, especially now that his displayed combat strength had left everyone stunned. At that moment, the most uneasy person of all was the sect master.
With Huo Hai's current strength, if he truly wanted the sect master's position, there was probably nothing the sect master could do. The Celestial Star Sect represented a lifetime of painstaking effort by their generation. How could they simply let someone take it away? But when it came to strength...
Huo Hai had no idea what the sect master was thinking. He had no intention of seizing such a position. For all the prestige of being a sect master, the resources the position provided were actually fewer than he could find on his own. In truth, genuinely high-grade resources generally had to be found personally by high-level experts or acquired through trades with their peers. Obtaining them through an organization was already extremely difficult.
No matter how powerful an organization was, even spirit marrow was difficult to obtain, let alone anything else. Huo Hai no longer considered the Celestial Star Sect worth coveting. The sect master's worries were entirely unnecessary.
"Sect Master, Grand Elder, why don't we go inside and sit down?" Huo Hai said, cupping his hands. Hearing this, the sect master finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Huo Hai would not compete with him for his position. Then he felt rather embarrassed.
He had actually measured a gentleman's heart with a petty man's yardstick. He really should not have done that. "All right, let's go inside." Huo Hai gave off no aura whatsoever, yet everyone around him still felt enormous pressure. This came from what he had demonstrated earlier. His ability to kill Blackstone Venerable so effortlessly spoke volumes
