What Meng Zhang gave was undoubtedly the best choice, and it was also Patriarch Yun's only choice.
But the biggest problem facing both sides is how to win each other's trust.
You know, before this moment, both parties were complete strangers.
Especially for Patriarch Yun, he had never heard of Meng Zhang before and knew nothing about him. How could he trust him and entrust his sect to him.
After listening to Patriarch Yun's inquiry, Meng Zhang didn't have a good idea.
Meng Zhang himself is sincere and willing to keep his promise.
But it was a bit difficult to make Patriarch Yun believe him.
On such a major matter related to the sect's inheritance, even if Meng Zhang makes a great oath, he may not be able to win people's trust.
No matter what, Meng Zhang still had to try his best to convince Patriarch Yun.
He volunteered that he could take the oath of greatness.
If Patriarch Yun feels that it is not enough, he can also put forward other opinions.
Among the two, Patriarch Yun, who was about to pass away, was obviously the weaker one.
If Meng Zhang's character was any worse than that of forcefully occupying the Xingyun Sword Sect, he probably wouldn't have a better solution.
However, Meng Zhang still has a bottom line as a human being.
In many matters, I hope to get Patriarch Yun’s recognition and cooperation.
After listening to Meng Zhang's words, Patriarch Yun didn't respond for a long time and just fell into thinking.
Meng Zhang was not in a hurry and just waited for his reaction.
After a long time, Patriarch Yun finally made his final decision.
He did not talk about how the two sides could win each other's trust, but began to bargain with Meng Zhang on how Meng Zhang could take care of the Xingyun Sword Sect after he passed away.
Meng Zhang did not deceive the other party with empty words just because the other party was a dying person.
He needs the vest of Xingyun Sword Sect and is willing to pay some price.
But he will not be tied to the tree of Nebula Sword Sect forever, let alone do something beyond his ability.
In order to avoid leaving some unrealistic illusions to Patriarch Yun, Meng Zhang explained his bottom line from the beginning.
He can help the Nebula Sword Sect continue its legacy, but he will not fight for the Nebula Sword Sect.
As for helping the Xingyun Sword Sect to avenge hatred and resolve historical grievances, let alone things like that.
Meng Zhang's frank attitude actually won some favor from Patriarch Yun.
As a sword cultivator, Patriarch Yun likes to speak directly and directly.
After discussing for a long time, the two finally agreed on many terms and reached a final agreement.
Then, Patriarch Yun took out a palm-sized gold medal.
He told Meng Zhang that the two of them only needed to swear an oath in front of the gold medal and promise to abide by the agreement, and then their deal would be concluded.
Ancestor Yun showed great respect for this seemingly inconspicuous gold medal and carefully enshrined it on the altar table behind him.
Meng Zhang glanced at the gold medal, and saw nothing at first glance. After concentrating on observing carefully, he sensed a vast and distant aura.
Meng Zhang's expression changed. This gold medal was of extraordinary nature, extremely high level, and its origin was not simple.
Patriarch Yun explained a few words to Meng Zhang in a low voice.
This gold medal was left by an immortal who had a close relationship with the ancestors of the Xingyun Sword Sect.
As long as the oath is made in front of the gold medal, it will be bound by the gold medal.
If the person who takes the oath violates the oath, he will surely be counterattacked by the power contained in the gold medal.
In the most extreme circumstances, the owner of this gold medal will be alerted and take action against those who betray their oath.
Meng Zhang was shocked, knowing that he still underestimated the Xingyun Sword Sect.
The background of this down-and-out sect is much deeper than I imagined.
The origin of being able to be related to immortals is not that simple.
When collecting various intelligence before, Meng Zhang had many choices.
In fact, he doesn't have to go to such trouble at all. He can choose other targets as a vest to hide his identity as an outsider.
But when he saw the information about the Xingyun Sword Sect, his heart moved, and he felt that his spiritual sense was inexplicably touched.
As a Tianji master, Meng Zhang valued this sudden feeling very much.
This feeling of whim is often more helpful to him than actively deducing the secrets.
Therefore, Meng Zhang chose the Nebula Sword Sect as his target because of this intuition.
Now it seemed that some secrets of Xingyun Sword Sect were about to be revealed in front of him.
Although Meng Zhang couldn't completely see the details of this gold medal, he could clearly feel that it had no harm.
Neither his mind nor his spiritual sense gave any warning about this.
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Zhang agreed to Patriarch Yun's proposal.
Next, the two made an oath in front of the gold medal, agreeing to abide by the agreement.
After the oath was completed, Patriarch Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the bond of the oath, he can completely trust Meng Zhang.
Time was running out, so Ancestor Yun did not delay and immediately began to explain to Meng Zhang.
Ancestor Yun talked about a lot in one breath, including the origin of the Xingyun Sword Sect, the origins of the ancestors, the secrets of the sect, etc.
Meng Zhang listened carefully, and his face lit up the more he listened.
When he chose the Nebula Sword Sect, he originally wanted to wear a vest to hide his identity.
But now it seems that he can get more things from Nebula Sword Sect.
Patriarch Yun talked for a long time before explaining everything clearly.
The identity he assigned to Meng Zhang was that of a senior in the sect who had traveled many years ago.
For a sect with a long history and long heritage like the Nebula Sword Sect, it is not very strange that there are individual void-returning powers hidden in the sect. As the trump card of the sect, it is not very strange.
As long as Patriarch Yun recognized Meng Zhang's identity, no one in the sect could question it.
From then on, Meng Zhang was Patriarch Meng of the Xingyun Sword Sect.
According to Patriarch Yun, the crisis facing the Xingyun Sword Sect is far greater than Meng Zhang imagined.
Even with the help of a powerful person like Meng Zhang, the crisis may not be able to be overcome safely.
Meng Zhang did not feel intimidated by this. Instead, he became more motivated to fight, and he had the pride in his heart to challenge a powerful enemy.
The enemies faced by the Nebula Sword Sect are very powerful, and their strength is enough to easily destroy the Nebula Sword Sect.
Even in his heyday, Patriarch Yun could not resist the opponent.
If it weren't for the fear of being dragged down by Patriarch Yun before his death, the other party would have taken action against the Nebula Sword Sect long ago.
Now, the other party is still waiting, but it is to ensure that Ancestor Yun is incarnation, so as to reduce the loss and be able to completely accept the Nebula Sword Sect.
Surrounded by powerful enemies and problems within the sect, the situation of the Nebula Sword Sect is not optimistic.
In other words, it was precisely because Patriarch Yun was about to die and there was too much pressure from the outside that the internal problems of the Nebula Sword Sect that had been covered up before finally broke out.
Troubled internally and externally, the Nebula Sword Sect was already at the end of its rope.
If there were other options, Patriarch Yun would not accept Meng Zhang's proposal.
He had no choice but to hand the sect's inheritance into Meng Zhang's hands.
