The Elephant Armor Sect pledged allegiance first? One of the Upper Three Sects!
The Elephant Armor Sect is one of the strongest sects among the Lower Four Sects, renowned for its defensive capabilities. Its sect leader, Huyan Zhen, is Level-89 Soul Douluo!
Inside the Elephant Armor Sect's Discussion Hall, Sect Master Huyan Zhen and the sect's Elder were all gathered.
They are a sect centered around families, and most of their disciples possess the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul.
"You've all heard about the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, haven't you?!" Huyan Zhen sat there, his gaze sweeping over all the Elder present.
"We've heard, Sect Master. Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly hates the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect the core, and actually wiped them out completely?!"
"Indeed, I never expected that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which suffered a severe blow back then and declined year after year, could still be so strong?!"
"After all, it's one of the Upper Three Sects. Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; it still has strength! However, it seems the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also relied on the Holy Dragon Sect's power? The Holy Dragon Sect was involved in the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect; perhaps it was a joint effort between the two sects?!"
Huyan Zhen frowned slightly, "Is that the key point?!"
"Sect Master, what do you mean?!" All the Elder stopped their discussion and looked at their Sect Master.
"The Clear Sky Sect has been destroyed, and one of the Upper Three Sects' Position is now vacant. The last time it was vacant was eighteen years ago when the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed."
"I have decided that the Elephant Armor Sect will pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall and take the place of the Clear Sky Sect!" Huyan Zhen said.
"Sect Master, aren't we being a little too hasty in seeking refuge?!" an Elder said.
"Worried? I don't think we're in a hurry at all! Eighteen years ago, we were arrogant and hesitated to make a decision, which ultimately allowed the Holy Dragon Sect, which wasn't one of the Seven Great Sects, to benefit from our actions."
"Look at the Holy Dragon Sect now! They've grown so powerful over the past eighteen years, following the Spirit Hall!"
"Don't you all understand the situation yet?! The Spirit Hall is terrifyingly powerful; the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect this time is an opportunity."
"If we don't capture them, other sects and forces will, and then we'll have nowhere to turn!"
"Those who rely on their status will never gain the attention and promotion of the Spirit Hall. We already learned that lesson eighteen years ago; haven't you remembered it yet?!"
Huyan Zhen said, "This is the only opportunity we have right now. If we seize it, the Elephant Armor Sect will soar to new heights!"
"If we don't seize this opportunity, we may never have another chance like this in the future. Don't let it slip away to other sects!"
Eighteen years ago, the Elephant Armor Sect, relying on its status, delayed making a statement, ultimately allowing the Holy Dragon Sect to reap the benefits.
He still regrets it deeply. If they had been the first to join the Spirit Hall and take over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Position, wouldn't their Elephant Armor Sect be the Holy Dragon Sect Number One Sect Under Heaven now, instead of the Holy Dragon Clan?!
"Sect Master is right. Shall we send someone to deliver a message to the Spirit Hall now?" an Elder asked.
"Send people now, this is an opportunity not to be missed! It's good to be a dog for the Spirit Hall, a dog can really eat its fill, the Holy Dragon Sect is a prime example." Huyan Zhen said with a smile.
Subsequently, the people of the Elephant Armor Sect sent someone to the Spirit Hall.
The other Lower Four Sects also made their decisions, but unfortunately, they didn't do it as quickly as the Elephant Armor Sect.
Huyan Zhen was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He went outside and stood in the cold wind.
"Support the Spirit Hall! Supporting the Spirit Hall is a win-win for our Elephant Armor Sect! Not just anyone can be a dog for the Spirit Hall!"
"We missed that opportunity eighteen years ago because we Elephant Armor Sect and conceited. This time, we must Elephant Armor Sect it and become Upper Three Sects!"
Being one of the Upper Three Sects is a status, and not every power can possess such a status. Of course, whether one can truly solidify their status as Upper Three Sects depends on the sect's foundation.
If Lower-tier sect becomes Upper Three Sects, it's just a title; after all, their actual strength is what it is.
But the Elephant Armor Sect is different. Among the Lower Four Sects, the Elephant Armor Sect is definitely the most powerful sect.
If he were to obtain the status of one of the Upper Three Sects, Huyan Zhen would be confident in solidifying his position as Upper Three Sects, just like the Holy Dragon Sect back then.
"It's good that the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed! They had all gone into seclusion, yet they still maintained their status Upper Three Sects. If they didn't destroy it, who would?!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also hates the Clear Sky Sect to the core, but if the Clear Sky Sect is destroyed, wouldn't the biggest beneficiary be the sect that replaces Clear Sky Sect?!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is truly a benefactor! If our Elephant Armor Sect becomes one of the Upper Three Sects, I will really have to thank the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for their great benefactors!"
Huyan Zhen thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Papal Palace the Spirit Hall and the Papal Palace, Qian Renfeng had already received news of the Elephant Armor Sect's defection.
"I didn't expect the Lower Four Sects to act so quickly this time? How interesting! But thinking about it, it makes sense, considering they are one of the Upper Three Sects! Incredibly wonderful!"
"Back when the Holy Dragon Sect replaced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, its rapid development must have made the Lower Four Sects quite envious, right?!"
"The news of the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect had barely spread when envelopes from the Lower Four Sects seeking refuge arrived on my desk."
Qian Renfeng looked at the four letters on the table, from the Elephant Armor Sect, Black Tiger Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Wind Sword Sect respectively!
"The Lower Four Sects all acted quickly this time, but the Elephant Armor Sect acted even faster, ahead of the other three major sects."
Qian Renfeng picked up the envelope from the Elephant Armor Sect. He had said long ago that whoever pledged allegiance first would be able to replace the Clear Sky Sect.
Although the Lower Four Sects all came to join them on the same day, the Elephant Armor Sect was significantly faster than the other three major sects, so the Clear Sky Sect Elephant Armor Sect!
"Chrysanthemum Elder, Ghost Elder!" Qian Renfeng said.
Then, Yue Guan and Gui Mei entered the Pope Palace, and Qian Renfeng, saying, "Your subordinate is here!"
Qian Renfeng nodded slightly. Chrysanthemum Elder and Ghost Elder, left behind by his father, are really useful. No wonder his father calls on Chrysanthemum Elder and Ghost Elder when he needs something.
"The Elephant Armor Sect was the first to pledge allegiance to our Spirit Hall. Now that the Clear Sky Sect has been destroyed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, let the Elephant Armor Sect replace the destroyed Clear Sky Sect and become one of the Upper Three Sects!"
"Oh, right, don't forget to condemn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, though of course, it's only a one-sided condemnation."
Qian Renfeng said with a smile, "We still need to do some pretense. After all, the sect that was destroyed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the Clear Sky Sect, which was also one of the Upper Three Sects. The situation was extremely bad!"
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope, we will make the arrangements immediately!" Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei left the Spirit Hall.
"Hmm, with the Elephant Armor Sect replacing the Clear Sky Sect, there's a vacancy among the Lower Four Sects, isn't there? We'll see which sect has the foresight to promote them to the Lower Four Sects!"
