Return to Myriad Gods Ridge
During the time that the Myriad Gods Ancestor was away, Myriad Gods Ridge was in a state of leaderlessness. The Jade Emperor Palace suddenly collapsed, and many disciples of Ten Myriad Gods Ridge were unaware of what had happened.
In recent days, under the supervision of some Outer Elder, the previously crumbling Jade Emperor Palace has been gradually cleared. Many people are worried that Myriad Gods Ridge may have been attacked, especially since the higher-ups of Myriad Gods Ridge have not been seen. Coupled with the huge energy fluctuations when the spatial array was activated, people speculate that the higher-ups of Myriad Gods Ridge may be fighting some unknown enemy.
Now that so much time has passed, not a single piece of news about the great battle has come back, and even the location of the battlefield is unknown, which has caused great anxiety among many people.
Until this day, energy suddenly converged above Myriad Gods Ridge, causing the Space Law to become disordered.
"Boom!"
The sky suddenly tore open, and a huge vortex appeared out of thin air, from which a chaotic Space Storm burst forth.
"What happened?"
The disciples of Myriad Gods Ridge's expressions changed drastically. Then they saw the elders of Myriad Gods Ridge emerge from the vortex, which turned out to be a spatial passage.
"The elders are back!"
"Haha, finally back safe and sound, that's great!"
Many people breathed a sigh of relief. These people who left were the backbone of Myriad Gods Ridge. If anything had happened to them, Myriad Gods Ridge would have been finished, and they would have lost their protection, and their good days would be over.
"I've seen the head of the family!"
Some of the younger members of the Song Family said that they were relieved to see Song Zhanchen return safely. The Song Family was in dire straits and could not afford any more losses.
At that moment, a loud "boom!" was heard, and the opened spatial passage shook violently. A Bronze Cauldron flew out of the passage. The cauldron was extremely heavy, and its movement seemed to almost cause the spatial passage to collapse.
"The Kanglong Ding!" The disciples of Myriad Gods Ridge present naturally recognized this cauldron.
"Hmm? Where is the sect leader?"
Someone spoke up, noting that the leader of the Myriad Gods Sect was not among the group. It was normal that the Myriad Gods Ancestor was missing, as the Ancestor was rarely seen. However, it was somewhat strange that the leader of the Myriad Gods Sect had not returned either.
What puzzled them even more was that they clearly saw a young man standing on the lid of the Kanglong Ding, riding on it.
"Isn't that Yi Yun?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The Kanglong Ding is the most treasured artifact of the Myriad Gods Ridge Kanglong Ding. Normally, everyone worships it with utmost reverence, treating it like a deity. But now, Yi Yun is actually stepping on the Kanglong Ding. How can they not be astonished?"
However, seeing Yi Yun standing on the Kanglong Ding, the other elders ignored him and instead surrounded Yi Yun in the center, creating a scene reminiscent of a constellation surrounding the moon. This left everyone present dumbfounded.
What exactly happened?
"Young Master Yi has returned safely..."
At Chenyue Tower, Duanmu Qingwen watched this scene from afar. Seeing Yi Yun return, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that something might happen to Yi Yun, after all, he had been imprisoned for too long, and countless people in the entire Myriad Gods Ridge hoped that Yi Yun would suffer a terrible fate.
"Master, what's wrong?"
A member of the Song Family asked, "We had heard rumors that the Myriad Gods Ancestor had imprisoned Yi Yun and was going to get rid of him. We were hoping that Yi Yun would be dealt with by the Myriad Gods Ancestor, which would be avenge for the Song Family. But now Yi Yun is not only alive and kicking, but he can also step on the Kanglong Ding."
"Patriarch, how dare that little beast Yi Yun step on the Kanglong Ding..."
A middle-aged man from the Song Family stepped forward and said to Song Zhanchen, "Speaking of which, Yi Yun also knows this middle-aged man. He is Song Yuanping, the manager of the miscellaneous affairs office in the core disciple area of Myriad Gods Ridge. Back then, he transferred Zuo Yan Xiaoyu from Chenyue Tower and arranged for her to be a maidservant to Zhang Wuchen and Song Bowen. When Yi Yun came to the miscellaneous affairs office to inquire, Song Yuanping pretended to be confused. As a result, he was beaten up by Yi Yun, and his facial features were disfigured. He used a lot of medicine and recuperated for half a year before he finally recovered."
Song Yuanping harbored resentment over the humiliation of that beating, and he wanted to wait for an opportunity to get revenge. He felt that the time was almost right, but seeing this strange scene again naturally made him feel depressed.
Sensing something was amiss, he lowered his voice, not daring to curse out loud; almost only Song Zhanchen could hear him.
He originally thought the patriarch would tell him the reason, but to his utter surprise, Song Zhanchen's face suddenly darkened after hearing his words!
"You blind, filthy lackey, what nonsense are you spouting! You're asking for death!"
As Song Zhanchen was speaking, he suddenly stepped forward and slapped Song Yuanping across the face!
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound of flesh colliding, Song Yuanping screamed and his body flew into the air. Song Zhanchen's slap was too hard; Song Yuanping's body was spun like a top in the air, and the flesh on one side of his face was torn apart.
Before Song Yuanping could land, Song Zhanchen stepped forward again and kicked him directly in the Song Yuanping.
"Boom!"
Song Yuanping screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew dozens of meters away and crashed heavily into a wall.
"Boom!"
The wall of the Cold Nether Stone trembled violently, then splattered with blood. Song Yuanping was beaten so badly by Song Zhanchen that he was almost unconscious. His body slowly slid down the wall. At this moment, the scene around him was completely blurred, and he could not see anything clearly.
He couldn't understand what had happened with what he had just said, and why he had suddenly been beaten so badly by the patriarch. Even the beating that Yi Yun had given him back then hadn't been this bad. He could clearly feel that his dantian had been shattered by the patriarch's kick. This was a brutal beating, and he had only just recovered from his injuries, and now he had to stay in bed again. This time, he might even have to stay in bed for a whole year.
This sudden turn of events left the entire room in complete silence. Everyone stared at Song Zhanchen in astonishment, unable to understand why he would attack someone from his own Song Family.
"Listen up!" Song Zhanchen said, "From today onwards, Young Master Yi is the new sect leader of Myriad Gods Ridge! Moreover, from now on, Myriad Gods Ridge will only have a sect leader, no longer an ancestor. The sect leader is the highest authority in Myriad Gods Ridge! From now on, you will all obey Young Master Yi's orders. Anyone who offends Young Master Yi will be dealt with according to the sect rules. This time is considered lenient."
Song Zhanchen infused his voice with his vital energy, which resonated throughout most of the main peak.
Everyone who heard this sound was petrified; they couldn't believe their ears!
Yi Yun is the new leader of Myriad Gods Ridge!?
Furthermore, Myriad Gods Ridge will only have a sect leader from now on, no longer having an ancestor!?
Is Song Zhanchen crazy to say these things?
The position of the Myriad Gods Ancestor is extremely revered. He holds a pivotal position in the entire Jinghai! Even if the Myriad Gods Ancestor to abdicate, Song Zhanchen would absolutely not, and dare not, say that Myriad Gods Ridge would only have a sect leader in the future, and no longer have an ancestor!
Besides, why would the Myriad Gods Ancestor pass his position to Yi Yun?
If anyone should be passed on, it should be to Feng Yunyang. But where is Feng Yunyang? He's nowhere to be found.
People couldn't find Feng Yunyang anywhere, and seeing Song Zhanchen say these words, none of the elders present objected or jumped out to say anything disrespectful. They all tacitly agreed with Song Zhanchen's words. The many Myriad Gods Ridge disciples present were completely dumbfounded. They felt as if they were having a crazy and absurd dream.
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly pay your respects to the new sect leader!"
Song Zhanchen urged, but people were slow to react to Song Zhanchen urging and couldn't accept this reality.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Suddenly, Song Zhanchen stepped forward and unleashed two powerful punches, sending two more Song Family members flying like balls. Those remaining at Myriad Gods Ridge were mostly weaker members; how could they withstand Song Zhanchen's attacks?
They were beaten senseless and coughed up blood.
Seeing Song Zhanchen's murderous aura, someone jumped in fright and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Although I don't know what happened, things have already turned out this way. If you don't bow, you'll get beaten by Song Zhanchen. For some reason, Song Zhanchen has suddenly become Yi Yun's loyal subordinate, and he doesn't hold back when he attacks.
"Greetings, Sect Leader..."
People bowed respectfully.
Seeing so many people bowing, Yi Yun was speechless. He had simply wanted to return to Myriad Gods Ridge, but he hadn't expected such a scene to occur. He hadn't mentioned any new sect leader; it was entirely Song Zhanchen's doing.
It was probably because of the existence of the Slave Seal that Song Zhanchen was completely subservient to Yi Yun, which led to this situation. This made Yi Yun somewhat emotional, thinking that the Slave Seal was truly domineering!
Yi Yun didn't really care about the position of the new sect leader, nor did he have any interest in such formalities. He said, "I don't need these formalities. You can all go about your business and leave."
After saying this, Yi Yun stepped onto the Kanglong Ding and flew towards Chenyue Tower.
