The group of Peak Leaders had never anticipated this.
"Elder Yan hasn't taken on a disciple in hundreds of years—it's impossible!"
"She specifically sent a message for him to join Heavenly Sword Peak... Heavenly Sword Peak currently has no Peak Leader, not even a single instructor... Isn't it obvious that Elder Yan herself wants to take him?"
"But Elder Yan hasn't taught a disciple in many years... Can she still do it? Wang Mu's Cultivation path won't be easy..."
"Since Elder Yan herself has spoken, there's no need for us to contend for him any longer."

Jian Wuqing dispersed the golden light and communicated telepathically with the others, a wave of regret washing over them.
The golden light vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
The other disciples looked on, utterly bewildered.
Wang Mu had just decided which lineage he wanted to join and was about to look up to answer when he saw the expressions on the six Peak Leaders change.
