Chapter 957: Everyone Arrived Late
At the same time,
Inside the Qitian Pavilion,
The leaders of the thirteen major super sects of the spirit world, including the Taichu Sacred Temple, the Array Sect, the Star Gate, the Heavenly Gate, the Sword Gate, the Yaoguang Sacred Land, the Tianyan Sacred Land, the Zhang family, and the Situ family, had all arrived.
They sat beside Lingyun Shangren on the clouds, their expressions calm yet imposing, quietly observing the bustling crowd below.
This was destined to be the largest gathering since the spirit world was established.
Almost everyone was excited and agitated.
“Where is Senior Zhao Chenyang?”
The Yaoguang Sacred Master looked at Lingyun Shangren and asked.
“He said some old friends wanted to come and see, so he went to meet them…”
Lingyun Shangren replied with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken,
The thirteen sect leaders present felt a chill in their hearts!
Zhao Chenyang was a fourth-class powerhouse, and those who could be called old friends by him were naturally also fourth-class powerhouses, likely ancient relics or living fossils.
“How ridiculous! During the battle at the Wailing Marsh, they all refused to show up. What are they doing here now?”
The Heavenly Gate Master, Jinyuan, sneered.
“That’s not fair to say… No matter when, as long as those big figures are willing to step forward, we should be grateful!”
A man in gray robes spoke up to refute.
Jinyuan glanced at the man in gray.
This person was the newly appointed master of the Tianyan Sacred Land, while the former master had recently died at Lin Feng’s hands during the battle at the Wailing Marsh.
“Indeed, it’s a good thing that fourth-class powerhouses are willing to step forward; we shouldn’t hold grudges!”
At this moment, Lingyun Shangren also spoke.
Jinyuan snorted lightly and fell silent.
The appearance of several fourth-class powerhouses was clearly purposeful, obviously coming for the position of the alliance leader, which made him, who originally wanted to nominate Lin Feng as the leader, feel quite displeased.
The Yaoguang Sacred Master shared his displeasure.
In recent days, his own holy maiden had been getting closer to Lin Feng, making him almost regard Lin Feng as a son-in-law.
Moreover,
He hoped that one day he could use Lin Feng’s strength to lift the reincarnation mark from the holy maiden.
“Regardless, I believe the position of alliance leader should depend on strength and contributions! If someone wants to come up and take advantage without giving anything in return, I will be the first to disagree!”
The Yaoguang Sacred Master said coldly.
“Contributions? By your logic, doesn’t that mean directly appointing Lin Feng as the alliance leader?”
The newly appointed Tianyan Sacred Master said lightly.
“I never said that!”
“Heh, who doesn’t know that your holy maiden is very close to Lin Feng? If Lin Feng becomes the alliance leader, your Yaoguang Sacred Land will be the biggest beneficiary!”
The newly appointed Tianyan Sacred Master sneered and continued:
“But don’t forget, while Lin Feng did make many contributions in the previous battle, he also did many foolish things, even killing our former master.”
“The most important thing is that Lin Feng is selfish and arrogant, a typical fool. Can someone like him lead us against the divine race?”
“Watch your mouth!”
The Yaoguang Sacred Master’s tone turned icy.
“What? What do you want to do? Are you going to fight me?”
The Tianyan Sacred Master retorted.
As the two sacred masters grew increasingly heated in their argument,
The other sect leaders present quickly intervened to mediate, temporarily suppressing their anger.
Just then,
A light laugh came from outside the door.
“Sorry, we’re late…”
A group of people in the hall turned their eyes to the source of the voice, only to see several individuals with restrained auras, making it impossible to discern their depths, leisurely walking in.
The speaker was none other than the fourth-class powerhouse Zhao Chenyang!
Beside Zhao Chenyang stood three others,
One was a middle-aged man with a peaceful demeanor and slightly graying hair,
Another was an elderly man who appeared frail but had bright, piercing eyes,
The last was an old woman holding a dragon-headed cane,
The old woman’s skin was wrinkled like a dried riverbed, exuding a decayed aura that was somewhat unsettling!
“They’re here!”
Lingyun Shangren, Situ Kun, and the other sect leaders felt a jolt in their hearts and immediately stood up to welcome them!
But at that moment,
The newly appointed Tianyan Sacred Master took the lead, rushing forward and respectfully addressing the old woman:
“I pay my respects to Saintess Qingyue!”
“Mm!”
The old woman nodded with a smile, clearly familiar with the Tianyan Sacred Master!
Seeing this scene,
The leaders of the various factions present all felt their pupils constrict, and a storm surged in their hearts.
This old woman was actually Saintess Qingyue?
Saintess Qingyue had already reached perfection in all realms during the mid-ancient period and stepped into fourth-class combat power. She had been recorded multiple times in ancient texts, making her a highly legendary figure!
“No wonder this newly appointed Tianyan Sacred Master is so arrogant… It turns out someone is backing him!”
The Yaoguang Sacred Master sneered.
“Alright! Let’s keep the chatter to a minimum… to avoid unnecessary conflicts.”
Jinyuan signaled the Yaoguang Sacred Master to refrain from speaking recklessly, then joined the others in greeting.
However, the Yaoguang Sacred Master merely sat in his chair, unmoving, watching coldly.
“I am Situ Kun, the head of the Situ family, paying my respects to the esteemed seniors!”
“I am Zhang Erhai, the head of the Zhang family, paying my respects to the esteemed seniors!”
Soon,
The leaders of various factions surrounded the four powerful figures, respectfully greeting them.
During the exchanges,
The identities of the other two were also revealed.
The middle-aged man with slightly graying hair was known as the Ancient Saint Hunyuan, a peerless figure from the mid-ancient period who had fought bloodily against the divine race during the ancient calamity, achieving remarkable military exploits!
The elderly man was known as the Divine Eye Venerable, a peerless talent from the early ancient period, rumored to have cultivated a pair of heavenly eyes, said to be able to see through gods and demons.
Unsurprisingly!
Both of them, like Saintess Qingyue and Zhao Chenyang, were also fourth-class powerhouses at the peak of their realms.
As the identities of the few were revealed,
The atmosphere in the hall noticeably heated up.
These were fourth-class powerhouses!
They were high-ranking figures, rarely seen, yet today four had suddenly appeared. If one could become familiar with them, it would be a tremendous boon for oneself and one’s sect.
The crowd continuously showered compliments on the four powerful figures.
At that moment,
The Tianyan Sacred Master shifted his gaze to the Yaoguang Sacred Master above and coldly said:
“How disgusting! Are the people of Yaoguang Sacred Land so rude? Seeing the esteemed seniors arrive, why don’t you come up to greet them?”
As soon as these words were spoken,
The hall instantly fell silent,
Everyone turned their gaze toward the Yaoguang Sacred Master, their expressions inscrutable.
The Yaoguang Sacred Master’s face also changed.
In such crowded situations, whether or not to step forward to greet was entirely a matter of personal choice and was not a big deal!
However,
With the Tianyan Sacred Master making such a blatant statement, it clearly took on a different meaning!
“Why aren’t you coming over to greet them?”
The Tianyan Sacred Master commanded from his high position.
“You…”
The Yaoguang Sacred Master wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by the other party’s stern voice:
“What do you mean? Do you think these esteemed seniors are not worthy of your respect?”
“***”
The Yaoguang Sacred Master was furious but could only curse the Tianyan Sacred Master in his heart.
He took a deep breath, preparing to humbly step forward to greet them.
Just then,
“Why are so many people gathered here like a bunch of fools?”
Lin Feng’s indifferent voice echoed throughout the hall.
