Chapter 49: Let Him Be the Holy Lord, Do You Have Any Objections?

“What, do you have any objections?”

Wu Hao came to Su Qiaoran, pulled her into his embrace, and then looked at the five Protectors and elders not far away. It was clear that their expressions held a hint of resentment.

Wu Hao had killed Murong Huang, but the Emperor Weapon was far more valuable than a Quasi-Emperor Peak expert. Even the Emperor Weapon had been destroyed by Wu Hao, which meant that the Foundation of their Myriad Flowers Holy Land had also been destroyed. They might no longer be able to stand among the Four Great Holy Lands.

How could the five Protectors and elders not be angry? But because Wu Hao’s strength was too great, they could only force a smile and say,

“No, no, Senior, you did well! We’ve disliked Murong Huang for a long time. It’s thanks to Senior’s action in killing Murong Huang; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to resist eliminating Murong Huang ourselves.”

“You better be.”

Wu Hao looked at them with a half-smile, then turned to Lin Tianyi and spoke with utmost seriousness.

“Thank you, Uncle Lin, for taking care of Qiaoran all these years.”

With that, Wu Hao bowed to Lin Tianyi, which made Lin Tianyi feel somewhat overwhelmed. He quickly helped Wu Hao up and said,

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need for this. After so many years of care, Qiaoran has become like a daughter to me. It’s only right that I stepped forward.”

Hearing this, Wu Hao shook his head, then said with great sincerity,

“This is different. If it weren’t for Uncle Lin, I might not have met my Qiaoran. I see that the Myriad Flowers Holy Land currently has no Holy Lord. How about you take on the role of Holy Lord?”

This was the best way Wu Hao could think of to repay Lin Tianyi. After becoming the Holy Lord of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, he would use his resources to help Lin Tianyi Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor or even Great Emperor, which would be a repayment for Lin Tianyi’s years of nurturing Su Qiaoran.

Lin Tianyi subconsciously retorted,

“Fellow Daoist.”

“If Uncle Lin is willing, just call me Wu Hao.”

Wu Hao said with utmost seriousness. Seeing this, Lin Tianyi could only sigh and then said,

“Wu Hao, with my current strength and experience, I cannot serve as the Holy Lord of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land. You should withdraw this decision.”

Wu Hao, however, shook his head. He never changed a decision once he made it.

The five Protectors not far away were initially angered when they heard Wu Hao’s words, but then they quickly realized something, and their eyes lit up.

That’s right, the current Lin Tianyi was no ordinary Supreme Peak expert. He had Great Emperor Wu Hao behind him!

If Lin Tianyi could become the Holy Lord of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, wouldn’t that mean Wu Hao would also become the Myriad Flowers Holy Land’s backer?

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder was the first to step forward, looking at Lin Tianyi and saying without hesitation,

“Elder Lin, in my opinion, you are the most suitable candidate to become the new Holy Lord of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land. Please don’t decline too much. Senior Wu must have his reasons for doing this.”

“That’s right, Elder Lin, just agree! No, now we should call you Holy Lord Lin!”

The other elders also stepped forward and spoke. After all, losing a Murong Huang and gaining a Great Emperor as a backer was a huge gain for their Myriad Flowers Holy Land, no matter how you looked at it.

Perhaps even Murong Huang never imagined that the people of Myriad Flowers Holy Land would so quickly turn their sadness over his loss into joy over gaining a Great Emperor as a backer.

Hearing so many people stand up, Lin Tianyi showed hesitation and turned to look at Su Qiaoran.

“Qiaoran, what do you think I should do?”

“Master, agree to it.”

Su Qiaoran smiled in Wu Hao’s arms and said.

Hearing his daughter say so, Lin Tianyi had no reason to refuse and could only nod and agree.

Thus, Lin Tianyi became the new Holy Lord of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, while Murong Xue’s eyes were filled with disbelief. She clearly hadn’t expected that even after her father’s death, the Myriad Flowers Holy Land would still apologize with smiles.

“No, I don’t agree! How can you face my father like this? He died for the Myriad Flowers Holy Land! How can you choose a new Holy Lord so quickly? Even for my father, you should at least wait for a period of time before choosing a new Holy Lord!”

Murong Xue stepped forward, her attitude collapsing.

But the Grand Elder looked at her and coldly snorted, saying,

“Hmph, how dare you say that? Isn’t this because he himself offended Senior Wu? This is all his own doing!”

“And you, Senior Wu and Holy Maiden Su are a perfect match, why are you standing here causing trouble?”

With that, the Grand Elder ignored the disbelief in Murong Xue’s eyes, turned to Su Qiaoran, and said with utmost seriousness,

“Holy Maiden Su, you are the truly deserving Saintess this time. May I ask if you are willing to once again become the Saintess of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land?”

At this moment, the Grand Elder’s attitude was extremely fawning. After all, Su Qiaoran wasn’t important; what was important was that Su Qiaoran’s Dao Companion was a Great Emperor! If Su Qiaoran could become the Saintess, then from now on, their Myriad Flowers Holy Land could instantly become the head of the Four Great Holy Lands.

However, Su Qiaoran no longer had any desire to become a Saintess and shook her head, saying,

“Let’s forget it. I no longer have the desire to become a Saintess.”

After seeing through the true colors of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, Su Qiaoran no longer had any desire to become a Saintess. Furthermore, her original plan was to become the Saintess to better be with Wu Hao.

But now that Wu Hao had stepped forward, becoming a Saintess no longer held any meaning.

Upon hearing Su Qiaoran’s reply, the Grand Elder was about to say something more, but then he saw Wu Hao staring at him coldly, as if to say that if he dared to utter another word, he would face Wu Hao’s wrath.

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder could only sigh and agree.

“Since this is your decision, Holy Maiden Su, then we respect you. However, if you ever feel tired, the gates of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land will always be open for you.”

“And you, Murong Xue, because you slandered Holy Maiden Su, we will revoke your Saintess qualification! Lin Yahuan will take on the position of Saintess!”

Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, Murong Xue’s eyes were filled with disbelief, and she said furiously,

“How dare you? I am the Saintess this time! I am the one with the best talent! What is Lin Yahuan? She can’t compare to me at all!”

Lin Yahuan, who was originally just watching the drama unfold, couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She clearly hadn’t fully processed this immense joy yet.

But after reacting, she quickly said excitedly,

“Thank you, elders, for your cultivation! I, Lin Yahuan, swear that I will diligently serve as the Saintess and will not bring shame to our Myriad Flowers Holy Land.”
