On the third day of the Discussion Conference, the matter of the new Chief Cultivator was once again brought to the agenda. Inside the Nie Clan council hall, the cultivation sects looked at Lan Wangji sitting at the head, and voices urging him to continue serving as Chief Cultivator rose in an endless stream.Although Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen knew it was impossible, their eyes were still filled with anticipation as they looked at him.
In a calm tone, Lan Wangji said, "Everyone, my mind is made up. Regarding the previous proposal, if everyone agrees, then henceforth the affairs of the cultivation sects shall be jointly decided by the Four Great Clans. If there are any objections, I hope everyone will elect the next Chief Cultivator."
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Lan Xichen and the others also declined to take on the role of Chief Cultivator, leaving everyone with no choice but to agree to Lan Wangji's proposal. From then on, the cultivation sects no longer had a Chief Cultivator, and the positions of the Four Great Clans—including the Lanling Jin Sect and the Nie Clan of Qinghe—became even more secure.
