Yun Senhai inherited the position of Sect Master and immediately started restructuring the sect. In the past, his ambitions exceeded his abilities, but now with Zhang Menglong backing him, he began boldly implementing reforms. Actually, he wasn't without great ambitions, but his aspirations matched his modest strength, which is why he had been mediocre.

"Alright, Elder Yun, I'll leave this Sun Heaven Sect - Iron Sword Empire branch to you. Remember, you can expand its glory!" Zhang Menglong said as he prepared to leave, carrying Elder Hu, whose Mystic Qi was sealed.

"Menglong, I definitely won't let you down. I'll go all out to manage this sect!" Yun Senhai also planned to begin his seclusion training. Currently, he didn't have the strength to intimidate the entire Cang Lan Sword Sect, and relying on the residual prestige of Zhang Menglong wasn't a long-term strategy.

Once he emerges from seclusion, the Iron Sword Empire will undoubtedly have a Mystic-Breaking Realm expert stronger than Jiang Qingshan.

...

"He's back! Sister, Brother Zhang is back!"

Han Xingyu was practicing martial arts obtained from Zhang Menglong in the courtyard of the inn when he suddenly saw Zhang Menglong swaggering from afar, accompanied by a strange-looking sub-human and an old man.

"What the heck! Isn't that the guy who pulled out the Divine Sword? And the freak!"

"Didn't they go to the Cang Lan Sword Sect? How can they still come out? Could it be that the Cang Lan Sword Sect is so generous they don't intend to monopolize the Sword God's inheritance?"

"Look, the freakish sub-human is carrying the Sword God's sword on his back; what's going on here? Did he give away the Sword God's sword?"

The martial artists who hadn't completed the assessment returned to Starry Night City after the exam, thinking Zhang Menglong's departure was a one-way trip, but unexpectedly, he returned, puzzling them.

Could it be that too many people knew about it and the Cang Lan Sword Sect was afraid that being too ruthless would affect its reputation?

But they immediately dismissed this idea; the inheritance of a Peak God-Breaking martial artist would drive even Cosmic Level powerhouses to madness, let alone a Fourth Grade sect; reputation? Reputation compared to the sect's future and top-notch martial arts techniques is worthless!

"Look, isn't the person he's carrying dressed like an elder?"

"Yes, last time Elder Yun overseeing the assessment wore a similar robe, could he be an elder of the Cang Lan Sword Sect?"

"He's carrying an elder?"

The scene in front of them clearly exceeded everyone's comprehension, but one thing was certain: something thrilling happened after Zhang Menglong and others entered the Cang Lan Sword Sect.

Upon hearing the news, Han Xingye stepped out, staring dumbfounded at the sky, admiration gleaming in her eyes as if awaiting the arrival of her legendary hero.

"It's him! It's really him!"

Even though they were childhood memories, Han Xingye could identify Elder Hu even if he turned to ashes. This was the one who assaulted her mother and killed her father that night!

Zhang Menglong arrived at the inn and directly threw Elder Hu to the ground.

"Miss Han, Young Master Han, I'll leave this old thing to you!"

The siblings Han Xingye and Han Xingyu were also martial artists, and they could sense that Elder Hu's Mystic Qi was sealed; without Mystic Qi, he was just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger physique.

"Mr. Zhang, you grabbed an elder from the Cang Lan Sword Sect; won't they trouble you?" Han Xingye asked with concern.

"Trouble me? Hahaha, the Cang Lan Sword Sect doesn't exist anymore!" said Zhang Menglong with a laugh.

"What? The Cang Lan Sword Sect doesn't exist? What does that mean?"

"We traveled all this way to join the Cang Lan Sword Sect, and now…"

The martial artists watching the scene suddenly wore strange expressions; what happened to the Cang Lan Sword Sect?

"Mr. Zhang, what exactly happened to the Cang Lan Sword Sect?" Han Xingye inquired.

Lately, in the inn, she had heard rumors spreading among the martial artists about Zhang Menglong pulling out the Divine Sword and obtaining the Sword God's inheritance.

"This is a long story," Zhang Menglong replied, "I pulled out the Sword God's sword, right? That Sword God insisted on giving me his shabby techniques and martial arts and even wanted me to bow to him. You see, if he gave me two bows, I would reluctantly keep these things for him."

"You didn't want it?" Han Xingye asked, thinking if it were anyone else, she wouldn't believe someone being willing to give up the Sword God's inheritance, but this person was Zhang Menglong, who could casually gift Cosmic-level martial arts; did he need such things?

Yet he referred to the Sword God's inheritance as shabby, offending the Sword God's dignity?

Everyone around was dreaming of Heaven-level techniques, and he dismissed such treasures as useless!

"I didn't take it; why would I need those shoddy things? Did I abandon it out of disdain?" Zhang Menglong joked with a pun that no one understood.

"Then the Sect Master of Cang Lan Sword Sect came and wanted me to hand over those inheritances. I was speechless; I told him I didn't take anything, ask me to hand over what, but he wouldn't believe me and wanted to fight!"

"And then?" Zhang Menglong spoke so serenely, but Han Xingye could imagine the tension of the situation.

"Then my bodyguard killed him."

"Killed?"

"What? The Sect Master of Cang Lan Sword Sect is dead?"

"No wonder he's swaggered out here carrying an elder."

"He's ruthless!"

"What's his background? The Sect Master of Cang Lan Sword Sect was a Mystic-Breaking martial artist!"

"Oh, but everyone need not worry," Zhang Menglong loudly announced, "Although the Sect Master of Cang Lan Sword Sect is gone, there's already a new sect leader. The sect just changed its name, from now on, there's no Cang Lan Sword Sect, only Sun Heaven Sect!"

"Sun Heaven Sect?"

"Who cares what it's called; we're not here for the name!"

"True!"

"Next, I'll tell everyone about the benefits of my Sun Heaven Sect," Zhang Menglong said, "If you pass the assessment successfully, you'll get basic Heaven-level cultivation techniques and martial arts. If you become a core disciple, you'll have the opportunity to learn Cosmic-level techniques and martial arts!"

"What? Entry-level is Heaven-level?"

"Cosmic-level techniques? I heard that the highest martial arts and techniques in Cang Lan Sword Sect are top-grade Heaven-level. Isn't he joking?"

"Believe it or not!" Zhang Menglong couldn't be bothered to prove anything to them, "But to join Sun Heaven Sect, the most crucial aspect is upright character; no matter how gifted or strong you are, Sun Heaven Sect won't accept you!"

"Today is the first day of the Sun Heaven Sect's Iron Sword Empire branch establishment, so I'll give you some benefits, revealing some exam content!"

Amid those eagerly awaiting expressions, Zhang Menglong took out a thick stack of books.

"Brother Zhang, what's this?"

"These are the entrance exam materials for Sun Heaven Sect; we don't test brute fighting, we test cognitive and essay writing!"

Han Xingyu curiously picked up a book, filled with various intricate patterns and written content that momentarily bewildered him.

"This is the basic cognitive test, mainly assessing your IQ."

"This is the 'Analects'! Full recitation required!"

"This is important series of statements; study them closely and think deeply, essay writing is required in the cognitive assessment, testing your thought realm and enlightenment!"

"This is 'Five-year college entrance exam, three-year simulation,' assessing your foundational knowledge!"
