Chapter 175 Welcoming the Supreme Elder! Heaven-Dominating Sect!
One of the Four Great Martial Sacred Lands of the Great Luo Dynasty, located in Cang Prefecture, in the center of the Nine Provinces.
It can be said that the entire Cang Prefecture is basically the territory of the Heaven-Dominating Sect, and even most of the officials in the Cang Prefecture government are disciples of the Heaven-Dominating Sect.
Such a thing might not happen in other dynasties, but it is perfectly normal in the Great Luo Dynasty.
After all, the entire Great Luo Dynasty was established jointly by the Four Great Martial Sacred Lands and the Xuan Family.
Furthermore, if the emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty is too incompetent in governing and does something that angers both heaven and man, as long as more than three Martial Emperor Realm agree, the current emperor can be deposed directly, and a virtuous son of the royal family or a person of virtue and talent can be selected to succeed him as the new emperor. In extreme cases, the five major powers can also jointly decide to temporarily take over the government and restore order to the court.
This demonstrates the immense power and influence of the Four Great Martial Sacred Lands within the Great Luo Dynasty.
The Heaven-Dominating Sect's mountain gate is located in the Vast Wilds Mountain Range of Cang Prefecture Heaven-Dominating Prefecture in Cangzhou.
This Vast Wilds Mountain Range is no ordinary mountain range; it is the place where the spiritual veins of Cang Prefecture converge. The entire mountain range stretches for five thousand miles, with seventy-two main peaks that resemble dragons coiled and tigers crouching, connected end to end to form a natural Yuan-gathering array.
The spiritual energy in the mountains is extremely rich; one breath is enough to make one feel comfortable all over. Ordinary people living here can avoid all diseases without cultivation, and if they do cultivate, they can easily break through to the Qi Condensation Realm and live to be a hundred years old.
The Heaven-Dominating Sect monopolized the core vein of the entire Vast Wilds Mountain Range. Centered on the main peak Heaven-Dominating Peak, it radiated outwards to 360 auxiliary peaks, each corresponding to a branch of the earth's spiritual vein, together forming this colossal entity that suppressed the fortune of an entire province.
On this day, several figures suddenly appeared like streaks of light in the void above the massive, hundred-foot-high mountain gate of the Heaven-Dominating Sect.
At this moment, the Heaven-Dominating Sect decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and tens of thousands of disciples were busy inside and outside the mountain gate, creating an extremely festive atmosphere.
When the deacons and disciples of the Heaven-Dominating Sect saw the several strangers who suddenly appeared in the void, they were all slightly taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances, none of them recognizing who these strangers were!
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe suddenly rose into the air and arrived in the void. He looked at the strangers who had suddenly appeared in front of him and sized them up with a slightly wary expression.
Although the Heaven-Dominating Sect is Four Great Martial Sacred Lands and its power overwhelms the Great Luo Dynasty, it has always been very courteous to its guests, but it would never act arrogantly or domineeringly at its own gate.
The middle-aged man in the green robe glanced at the four people in front of him. The four people consisted of two men and two women, who looked like a middle-aged couple and a young couple.
Oh, and on the young man's shoulder was a ferocious beast about the size of a palm, which looked harmless.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in the green robe couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, guessing that this young man was probably a spoiled brat from some Lineage.
However, the middle-aged man in the green robe didn't think much of it. Instead, he turned his attention to the four people in front of him.
Being able to fly indicates a cultivation level of at least Grandmaster Realm.
The two young men looked to be only a few years old, probably not even twenty, so they couldn't possibly be Grandmaster Realm experts.
Finally, Xing Chuan's gaze fell upon the middle-aged man in a black robe, who exuded a profound Gang Qi of the Grandmaster Realm, and had a refined appearance. He bowed respectfully and said, "I am Xing Chuan, an outer sect elder of the Heaven-Dominating Sect. May I ask who you gentlemen are and what business you have with my Heaven-Dominating Sect?"
Unexpectedly, the refined-looking middle-aged man did not answer him. Instead, he turned his head to look at the young man next to him who looked far too young.
"Elder Xing, there's no need to be nervous. I am Chen An!"
Looking at Xing Chuan, who was on guard, Chen An smiled faintly, then flipped his right hand, revealing a token.
Just as Xing Chuan was still wondering why the refined middle-aged Grandmaster Realm would look at the seemingly spoiled young man, his eyes widened suddenly when he heard Chen An introduce himself and the token in Chen An's hand.
Chen An?!
Isn't that the honorific name of the newly appointed Supreme Elder, passed down from the Sect Master?!
Furthermore, isn't that token in his hand the token of the Supreme Elder?!
"Greetings..."
Hahaha!!!~~
However, just as Xing Chuan came to his senses and was about to pay his respects to Chen An, the new Supreme Elder of the sect, a loud laugh suddenly rang out from within the Heaven-Dominating Sect, and then the figure of Cang Wanli, the Supreme Elder of the Heaven-Dominating Sect, appeared not far in front of Chen An.
"Brother Chen, you've finally arrived!"
"Greetings, Brother Cang!" Chen An smiled slightly as he looked at Cang Wanli, whose face was full of joy.
"Haha, good, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here!"
Cang Wanli stepped forward with a loud laugh and patted Chen An's shoulder affectionately. His familiar gesture shocked Xing Chuan and the disciples in the mountain gate below.
"Qinglan greets the Emperor Cang!" Shen Qinglan, who was standing next to Chen An, stepped forward and bowed to Cang Wanli.
"Haha, Qinglan, no need to be so polite!" Cang Wanli had already met Shen Qinglan and knew that she was Chen An's fiancée, so he naturally wouldn't put on airs as the Supreme Elder of the Heaven-Dominating Sect in front of her. He smiled kindly and helped her up.
"Brother Cang, let me introduce you. This is my father-in-law Shen Zongyue, and my mother-in-law Lin Xueyan!" Chen An introduced them at the opportune moment.
" Shen Zongyue ( Lin Xueyan ) pays respects to the Emperor Cang!"
"Haha, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite. From now on, we're all family. Please get up!" Cang Wanli smiled broadly and helped the two of them up.
"By the way, Brother Chen, I must congratulate you! You have rendered a great service to our Human Race this time!" Cang Wanli turned around and smiled excitedly at Chen An.
"Oh?! What makes you say that, Brother Cang?!" Chen An raised an eyebrow upon hearing Cang Wanli's words.
"Haha, do you still remember that Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor avatar you killed three days ago?!"
Cang Wanli smiled and then said, "That Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor originally wanted to create an avatar to slaughter my Human Race. For this reason, it even launched a war at the border to try and divert their attention."
"Unexpectedly, we ran into you, Brother Chen. After you killed its clone, its main body's soul was injured, causing it to suffer a backlash during its battle with Luo Fentian, where that old bastard Luo Fentian severely injured it!"
"It is precisely because of this that our Human Race not only severely damaged the Slaughterblood and slaughtered billions of Devil Race, but also recovered the four fortified cities that we had previously lost."
"Hahaha, tell me, Brother Chen, haven't you rendered a great service to our Human Race!" Cang Wanli laughed heartily.
Cang Wanli was so happy not only because the Human Race had won a great victory in the Northern Frontier, but more importantly because Chen An would become the Supreme Elder of their Heaven-Dominating Sect.
This time, Chen An has rendered a great service to the Human Race, and their Heaven-Dominating Sect is also honored!
After hearing Cang Wanli's explanation, Chen An smiled knowingly and waved his hand, saying, "I see. But this was just a coincidence. The ones who truly made great contributions to the Human Race were Elder Luo, Elder Xu, and Elder Han, who guarded the Northern Frontier, as well as the Human Race soldiers who fought bloody battles against the Ancient Devil Race. Compared to them, I only casually killed a demon emperor's avatar."
"Haha, Brother Chen is too modest. If you hadn't severely damaged the Slaughterblood Demon Emperor's soul foundation, even with Luo Fentian Fentian's formidable cultivation, it would have been difficult for him to suppress the opponent so easily. The Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor's soul was affected and suffered a backlash, greatly reducing his combat power, which gave the border war a chance to turn around," Cang Wanli laughed.
Seeing this, Chen An said nothing more, only smiled faintly.
At this moment, figures emerged from the Heaven-Dominating Sect, densely packed behind Cang Wanli. Their robes fluttered, and powerful auras rose and fell, sweeping across the entire Huangchuan Mountain Range.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe, with a dignified expression and a faint aura of a mid-stage Martial King Realm.
His face was sharply defined, and his brows carried an air of authority that commanded the lives of thousands. He was none other than the current sect leader of the Heaven-Dominating Sect.
Xue Changfeng!
Behind Xue Changfeng followed dozens of elderly men with profound auras, all of whom were at least Grandmaster Realm, and there were even several Martial King Realm. These were the peak masters and inner sect elders of the Heaven-Dominating Sect.
Normally, these people could shake the entire Cang Prefecture with a stomp of their feet, but now they all stood at attention, their eyes fixed on Chen An, their gazes filled with disbelief and shock.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Xue Changfeng first bowed respectfully to Cang Wanli.
"Yes, Changfeng, no need for such formalities!"
Cang Wanli waved his hand, then turned to Xue Changfeng and the people behind him, saying, "Come, let me introduce you. This is the new Supreme Elder of my Heaven-Dominating Sect, Chen An, Emperor Chen!!!"
Upon hearing Cang Wanli's words, Xue Changfeng looked at Chen An, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. However, he still bowed respectfully and clasped his hands in greeting, his voice loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire Vast Wilds Mountain Range.
" Xue Changfeng, the Heaven-Dominating Sect, along with all the elders and peak masters of the sect, respectfully welcomes the Supreme Elder back to the sect!"
"Welcome back to the ancestral sect, Supreme Elder!!!"
Hundreds of elders and peak masters of the Heaven-Dominating Sect bowed and shouted in unison, their voices converging into a torrent that shook the clouds and mist in the mountains and made the rocks rustle.
At the mountain gate, the disciples who had been whispering fell silent instantly, then knelt down like a tidal wave, tens of thousands of voices shouting in unison.
"Welcome back to the ancestral sect, Supreme Elder!!!"
The roar was deafening, echoing through the void!
