I also think the same that Baek Chun will be the Sect Leader and Chung Myung will be an Elder again. I don't think Chung Myung will be staying still inside Mount Hua. As far as I know while reading the novel. (I haven't read the novel much) but I'm sure Baek Chun has what it takes to be a leader.
Yeah his body speaks it all that he has no interest for the leader position.
He is not into paperwork shits. He will just teach mount hua the proper way to use plum blossom and made disciples.
As much as I think ChungMyun is a good leader i don't he's the best suited character to be a Sect Leader. It's almost impossible to hold him in check and even with crazy character growth i don't think he'll overcome that. He's only held down by the fact there are people above him that he respects, as well as a healthy dose of peer pressure. I know he's trying to change and made hella improvements, but I think he's better off being a loose cannon who represents the sect. As well as an advisor who pushes them outside their comfort zone rather then just leading them. I think he should be trusted and respected, he's normally right after all, but that by itself aren't the qualities needed.
I think BaekChun would be better suited(at least as they are now there's obviously still a ton of story left and room for growth) to be Sect Leader. Man's always has a healthy dose of skepticism towards ChungMyun's shit but has very quickly known when to take a step back. As well as, in this chapter, he's shown he can still acknowledge that despite ChungMyun succeeding he still scared the hell out them and voiced it. I also don't think strength should be the deciding factor of who runs the Sect.
That said if ChungMyun continues to grow further and sees his peers as equals he would definitely have a fighting chance to change my opinion on the matter.
