Elder Huntian immediately turned and left with several other elders.
Lu Ren sat cross-legged on the source stone again, holding the Dao Investiture Edict in his hand, but there was little joy on his face.
"The Great Dao Sect actually wants to appoint me a Daoist!"
Lu Ren frowned slightly. "My Fated Covenant with Cang Xuanming is only eighty-odd years away. Are they making me a Daoist now just because I reached the summit of the Great Dao Hundred-Refinements Tower?"
Boom!
Just as Lu Ren was pondering this, a figure flew over in a hurry and landed in his Source Court.
It was Daoist Guanlan.
"Lu Ren!"
The moment Daoist Guanlan landed, she asked, "I just heard the Great Dao Sect is going to appoint you a Daoist. Is it true?"
Lu Ren blinked. "You heard already?"
"How could news like that stay hidden?"
Daoist Guanlan said, "The whole Great Dao Sect is talking about it!"
Lu Ren turned his palm over and produced the Dao Investiture Edict. "The ceremony is in three days."
At the sight of the Dao Investiture Edict, Daoist Guanlan wore an expression that said her suspicions had been confirmed. "So it's true."
Lu Ren noticed something odd about her expression. "What do you mean by that?"
"Gui Shaoyin is back!"
Daoist Guanlan's voice was grave.
"Gui Shaoyin?"
Lu Ren frowned. "Who is he?"
"Gui Shaoyin is one of the strongest prodigies of the Ghost Yin Baleful Heaven Clan's generation!"
Daoist Guanlan explained, "He competed for a Daoist position years ago, but ultimately lost. After that, he left the Great Dao Sect and went alone to train in the Great Wilderness!"
"He returned not long ago!"
"The Ghost Yin Baleful Heaven Clan?"
Lu Ren's heart stirred.
He was no stranger to that Primordial Clan.
