Lin Xuan's gaze swept over Chen Xiao's head, and the system immediately displayed Chen Xiao's information.
Name: Chen Xiao
Age: 16
Realm: Fifth Level of the Heavenly Profound Realm
Identity: Descendant of the Giant Que Stone Clan, disciple of the Sword Pavilion
Destiny: The Giant Gate Physique (Orange Rank 6)
Recent events: After joining the Sword Pavilion and witnessing the extraordinary talents of the senior female disciples, I was deeply discouraged and curbed my arrogance.
After reading it, Lin Xuan nodded slightly, acknowledging Chen Xiao's talent in his heart.
He offered Chen Xiao a few words of encouragement, then turned to look in the direction of the boundary gate, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"They've arrived."
The others were still a little confused. What's coming?
From the gate, a man in a dark golden robe flew out, heading directly in their direction.
He took a step forward and instantly advanced a hundred meters, shrinking the distance to an inch, arriving at the location of Lin Xuan and the others in the blink of an eye. He did not deliberately conceal his aura, but spread it out without reservation.
The terrifying aura made Heavenly Venerable Yunli's heart skip a beat.
She subconsciously looked up, and the first thing she saw was a pair of Evil Qi, gilded eyes.
Looking at that sinister man, the shock in Heavenly Venerable Yunli's eyes was almost tangible!
She instinctively became wary!
As the man approached, she sensed an extremely terrifying aura that shocked even her. The mere feeling of it sent shivers down her spine, filling her with dread.
This man's aura is far beyond that of Venerable!
He is not Earth Venerable, nor even Heavenly Venerable!
A word popped into Heavenly Venerable Yunli's mind, making her both incredulous and unable to disbelieve it.
Thearch Realm!?
This man, exuding Evil Qi, is at least a supreme being at the Half-Step Thearch Realm!
Heavenly Venerable Yunli concealed the astonishment in her eyes, but her physical reaction could not be hidden.
At this moment, she froze, her mind instinctively on guard.
The terrifying aura emanating from him instantly gave Heavenly Venerable Yunli a clear understanding.
Even at my peak, I was probably far inferior to this man!
Who exactly is this person, and why is he heading straight for the Sword Pavilion?
Su Lianxin and the others also realized how terrifying the strange man's strength was.
He simply stood there, yet he instilled a powerful sense of oppression in them!
This sense of oppression was something they had never felt even from the Sword Master Yunli!
You must know, the Sword Master Yunli is Venerable!
Just how terrifying is this person?!
The disciples' faces were tense. Even with their master present, they couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding and their expressions showing nervousness as they looked at the newcomer.
Heavenly Venerable Yunli was in the same boat, unsure whether the newcomer was friend or foe, whether they harbored ill intentions, or whether they would attack the Sword Pavilion. Her mind was tense, and she gripped her sword hilt tightly.
Just as everyone was tense, astonished, and shocked by the newcomer's strength, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn, Lin Xuan suddenly smiled and spoke calmly.
"Alright, suppress your aura. Don't frighten my disciples."
"Yes, Master."
The newcomer was none other than Wu Liang, the Demon Emperor Chongming.
Wu Liang casually shrugged and withdrew his aura.
He did it on purpose.
Rather, his personality is completely different from Lin Xuan's, and it could even be said that he is quite different from Human Race.
Human Race value restraint, humility, and composure, while the Demon Race is too lazy to engage in such roundabout ways.
For the Demon Race race, strength must be displayed to avoid being looked down upon.
Therefore, he neither deliberately released his aura nor deliberately concealed it.
After all, Wu Liang had little contact with Human Race and found it difficult to adapt to their Human Race in a short time.
Lin Xuan was well aware of Wu Liang's personality, which is why he offered a brief reminder.
But he spoke so naturally and in such a relaxed tone that he was unaware of the profound shock their conversation had caused to everyone present—especially Heavenly Venerable Yunli!
Pavilion Master...?
Heavenly Venerable Yunli was incredulous!
This... at least a supreme being at the Half-Step Thearch Realm, actually addressed Lin Xuan as... Pavilion Master?
He was also from the Sword Pavilion?
Heavenly Venerable Yunli was stunned.
Her intuition is unlikely to be wrong.
This person is definitely not an ordinary being; he is... Half-Step Thearch Realm expert!
It's hard to say whether there are even experts of this caliber in the entire Profound Domain...
And he was actually from the Sword Pavilion, and yet he was subordinate to Lin Xuan?
Even knowing Lin Xuan's extraordinary talent, Heavenly Venerable Yunli was still so shocked that she couldn't speak at this moment.
Just as everyone was in shock, Lin Xuan spoke again.
"I almost forgot to introduce you. This gentleman will be the Vice Pavilion Master of my Sword Pavilion from now on. You may call him Vice Pavilion Master Chongming."
Wu Liang nodded in agreement, accepting the attention of the crowd.
Although he regained his memories and remembered his true name, as the Demon Emperor, he still possessed his own pride.
In his view, no one except Lin Xuan deserved to know his real name, and it didn't matter if they called him by his title.
"Vice Pavilion Master?"
"Hiss..."
None of the disciples were unsurprised, and Chen Xiao was no exception.
He was completely numb, feeling the still terrifying aura emanating from Wu Liang, even after it was put away, and his heart was filled with unparalleled shock.
What kind of faction did he join?!
First was Sword Master Yunli, who was Venerable Realm expert.
Someone of her stature would be considered a Supreme Elder in any of the top powers in the Profound Domain!
Take, for example, the Vice Pavilion Master Chongming right before our eyes...
The aura emanating from him was far more terrifying than that of the Sword Master Yunli!
But he was only the deputy pavilion master!
Although the Pavilion Master did not reveal his abilities, Chen Xiao was certain that the Pavilion Master was no ordinary person, as he could command the respect of these two powerful individuals!
One genius after another, one powerful figure after another, completely shattered the last shred of pride in Chen Xiao's heart!
He slowly exhaled, shaking his head with a wry smile.
It seems I really should correct my attitude!
At the same time, Chen Xiao was also extremely excited.
The Sword Pavilion's formidable upper echelons are a stroke of luck for these disciples!
After her initial shock, Heavenly Venerable Yunli gradually calmed down, exhaled, and made sure not to appear too ignorant.
It's a good thing that there's a Half-Step Great Emperor in the Sword Pavilion; there's no need to make a fuss about it.
Only after comforting herself in this way did Heavenly Venerable Yunli's expression calm down considerably, and she took the initiative to change the subject.
"Sect Master, many strange phenomena have appeared in the Void Realm this time..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuan shook his head and gently interrupted her.
"No rush. You all probably already know about this matter. It's not simple. Let's discuss it further when we get back."
Heavenly Venerable Yunli nodded in agreement and said no more.
Lin Xuan looked around and suddenly frowned.
It's been so long already, and almost everyone from the Sword Pavilion has arrived, except for one person.
Where did his newly recruited Ninth Sword Master, Youying, go?
Just as Lin Xuan was wondering where Youying had gone, several figures suddenly darted out from the boundary gate, the one in front heading straight for him while shouting.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, save me!"
