him, letting the two children spend a few days together before setting their wedding date during the Spring Festival. Furthermore, Xiao Yu’s mother also vaguely suggested inquiring about Yun Xi's opin...Chapter 742: Legacy

After hearing Master Song's words, everyone in the room looked at him. These elders didn't show much change on their faces, but others had a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

They hadn't known about these matters beforehand. Even Leader No.1 and No.2 showed a slight look of shock on their faces. They originally intended to stay for a short while before leaving since both of them were very busy, but upon arriving here, they were told by the elders not to leave without being informed of any matter, just saying that something important was happening. Now hearing that it had something to do with witnessing a ceremony made everyone very curious.

Weren't they already witnesses to Xiao Yu's identity What else could there be to witness now Both of them looked at the elders in confusion.

"Xiao Yu, did you bring that dagger" Instead of explaining to their astonishment, Master Song turned to face Xiao Yu and said seriously without even looking at them.

Hearing Master Song's words, Xiao Yu was puzzled. He didn't know why the elder suddenly inquired about his dagger; however, he assumed there must be a reason behind it since the elder asked him directly. Therefore, upon hearing what the elder had said, Xiao Yu quickly replied: "Elder, I left the dagger at home!"

Making no sound after hearing Xiao Yu's words, Master Song nodded slightly; he also thought that Xiao Yu wouldn't be carrying his dagger around, which was why he casually asked about it earlier. Furthermore, as this decision was made on the spot, they didn't expect Xiao Yu to have brought it along.

"Great Sea, you and Hu Shan go to 'Second Brother's' house and bring the dagger here!" Master Song then turned his head towards Song Hushan who stood among the crowd and said.

Hearing Master Song's words, Xiao Yu furrowed his brows slightly. After all, this dagger was a legacy left by his grandfather to him. Why did Master Song need that dagger However, Xiao Yu soon relaxed his eyebrows as he didn't care about why it was needed and wouldn't take the knife for himself regardless of what happened.

"Yes, Grandfather!" Song Hushan responded and went out with Zhang Daha together.

The elders watched them leave. After asking Leader No.1 and No.2 to sit down, they also sat down themselves. Although the leaders were their juniors, these elders still respected them as the country's highest-ranking officials.

After nodding to the two elders, they took their seats. Although these elders were no longer in power, they had all been heroes of war and, more importantly, they oversaw a special unit. It was worth noting that even if the country were to elect its top leaders, these elders would have significant influence, and their strong opposition could even alter the final outcome.

About forty minutes later, Zhang Dahan and Song Hushan returned in quick steps. After returning, Zhang Dahan respectfully handed a dagger to Elder Grandpa Song.

After receiving the dagger, Elder Grandpa Song's face revealed a nostalgic expression as he stared blankly at it. The other elders also looked at Song's dagger, and an inexplicable emotion seemed to pass among them.

"Ah, Xiao Yu, take this!" After some time, Elder Grandpa Song let out a long breath and handed the dagger to Xiao Yu with reluctance.

Xiao Yu took the dagger from Elder Grandpa Song and held it in his hand, looking at the relic left by his grandfather.

"Xiao Yu, has your second uncle told you about the origin of this dagger" Elder Grandpa Song asked Xiao Yu as he looked at him and the dagger.

Hearing what Elder Grandpa Song said, Xiao Yu shook his head blankly. He had no idea about the history of this dagger; moreover, it was filled with intense malevolent energy, comparable to some demon dao ice blades. However, such intense malevolent aura on a regular dagger was rare.

According to Zhong Kui's memory, only White Begonia’s personal sword could surpass this dagger in terms of its aura when it appeared back then. Of course, this referred to ordinary weapons; magic tools from the demon dao definitely had more intense malevolent energy.

"This dagger is our eldest brother's personal item. When he disappeared many years ago, he left this dagger behind as a symbol for our Blood Flame Special Forces! It’s like the ‘tiger token’ of our unit! Our Blood Flame Special Forces stand out in the world with our prowess in combat. During World War II, wherever my Blood Flame Special Forces went, there was bloodshed. After our eldest brother disappeared, my second uncle took over command of the entire Blood Flame Special Forces unit. However, after liberation, both my second uncle and this dagger vanished. Of course, when my second uncle vanished, it was already a time of peace, so the dagger’s significance dwindled."

After seeing Xiao Yu shake his head, Elder Grandpa Song started explaining.

After finishing his explanation, he paused for a moment before changing tone: "Apart from its symbolic meaning, this dagger has another function. The holder of this dagger is the new leader of our Blood Flame Special Forces!" After saying that, Elder Grandpa Song fixed his gaze on Xiao Yu.

"Ah..." Upon hearing what Mr. Song said, Xiao Yu immediately exclaimed in surprise. The meaning behind Mr. Song's words was quite clear, so upon hearing him speak, he turned to look at the other elders who were also smiling at him.

Zhang Dahai and the一號二號首長 felt a sudden jolt in their hearts when they heard what Old Grandpa Song said. They understood his words very clearly and knew the intention behind it, but they still had doubts. After all, although they liked Xiao Yu very much and many of them had been saved by him before, he was too young for them to feel completely at ease.

In fact, these elders didn't intend to mention this matter so early on. However, when Li Suijun told them about Xiao Yu's cultivator identity, and they saw the domestic top-notch cultivator alliance today and learned that Xiao Yu was a member of it, they decided as such.

Although these elders did not have dealings with this alliance, they were all aware of its existence. After all, they lived on Chinese soil; nothing could be hidden from them. When they found out that Xiao Yu had joined the alliance, only then did they realize how high his cultivation level was.

Actually, there was another reason why these elders acted this way, but none of them had ever mentioned it to anyone else. That is because their eldest brother was a cultivator and an extremely powerful one at that. Since Xiao Yu's grandfather and Old Grandpa Song were not cultivators themselves, they could only be considered interim leaders. Before their eldest brother went missing, he told them that only cultivators could become their leaders.

Moreover, the biggest trump card of their organization could only be activated by a cultivator. Over these years, there had been no cultivators among their descendants and disciples, leading to the belief that they would never find one in their lifetime. Such power couldn't fall into someone else's hands; hence, the organization was managed by them.

They thought they would never see a successor in their lifetimes, but now Xiao Yu had unexpectedly emerged, not only returning with the dagger but also as a cultivator and a powerful one at that.

It's worth noting that to fully inherit what their eldest brother left behind, this dagger was necessary. This weapon could be considered a key; now that Xiao Yu possessed it along with being a cultivator, it seemed like fate. Therefore, after some deliberation, they decided to officially make Xiao Yu the second-generation leader of their organization.

"Little Gu, Little Liang, bear witness to this: Starting today, Xiao Yu becomes our Blood Flame Corps' second generation leader!" Li Suijun looked at Xiao Yu holding the dagger and addressed the一號二號首長. After saying that, he turned to look at their disciples and said, "Starting today, Xiao Yu is the second-generation leader of our Blood Flame Corps! You must remember, his words are orders; the Blood Flame Corps needs iron discipline!"

"Boom..." As soon as Li Suijun's words fell, an exclamation arose from these elders' descendants inside the room. Although they had guessed this might happen, it was different to hear it officially announced.

The elders looked at their disciples who were in discussion but didn't say anything; they just stood there quietly watching.

After a while, these people finally quieted down.

"What Do you have any objections" Li Sujun said calmly when he saw them quiet down.

"I... don't have any objections!" A middle-aged man in his forties, standing behind Zhang Dahan, spoke up with a look of discontent. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, seeing the calm faces of these elder gentlemen, his heart suddenly sank, sensing an ominous premonition, and quickly changed his words.

"And you guys" Upon hearing this person's statement, Li Sujun turned to ask the others.

"No objections!"

"We also have no objections!"

Upon hearing Li Sujun's words, Zhang Dahan and Song Hushan quickly responded. After they did so, the rest of them followed suit with a chorus of agreement.

Hearing these people’s responses, the elder gentlemen finally showed a hint of a smile. They knew that some would inevitably be unhappy; after all, these youngsters were martial artists, with strong wills and spirits which could not be easily suppressed. But now was not the time for such resistance; it was only when Xiao Yu took over command of the Blood Flame Unit that any dissent might arise.

The two chief leaders exchanged a glance but said nothing. The Blood Flame Unit was an area where even they could not intervene, despite its nominal affiliation to them. These members of the Blood Flame Unit had existed since World War II and were respected enough by even their revered ancestors that no one dared to interfere. Hence, it would be impossible for them to meddle.

These elder gentlemen knew this was not a solution; problems would arise if things continued like this. Even if there weren't any issues now, what about after they passed away That's why, back then, they initiated the establishment of Sector 13, which is jointly managed by these elder gentlemen and the state. This effectively split off some members from the Blood Flame Unit and allowed the state to get involved in a different way; take Zhang Dahan for example, who had entered Sector 13! (To be continued), when Xiao Yu heard Soul Devouring Mouse's call, his face changed, and he quickly walked towards the campsite.Seeing Xiao Yu anxiously walking into the campsite, Ye Fei and others also hurriedly foll...
