The people in this small town were actually the outer mbers and their families of the Nether Temple, and at the center of the town, there was a building similar to an ancient palace.
This palace had been renovated and expanded upon from the foundation of an old castle!
Of course, this palace was none other than the headquarters of the Nether Temple!
As Su Chen's old car approached a few hundred ters from the palace's main gate, he stopped.
"Rise!"
As soon as Su Chen got out of the car, he heard a voice.
No sooner had the voice faded than there erupted a deafening drum roll, along with the crackling sound of firecrackers, startling Su Chen imnsely!
He couldn't help but look up, and was instantly dumbfounded!
There was a thick red carpet laid out in front of the main gate, extending inside, and at the gate, packed tight, stood two to three hundred people. As soon as they saw Su Chen exit the car, they imdiately kneeled down and shouted in unison:
"Welco, Hall Master!"
Every face was alight with excitent and joy; they were all core mbers of the Nether Temple!
Above the entrance, a long banner was strung, with an eye-catching ssage: Warmly Welco the Hall Master Back!
Su Chen was completely stunned at this scene!
What's going on here?
Eniel and Shadow, following him, both had a hint of amusent on their faces, seemingly having been aware of this all along.
"Everyone, get up,"
Su Chen walked up to the main gate and said, then asked in confusion:
"What's all this about?"
"It was Clown's idea. He said since you haven't been back for such a long ti, we should prepare a welco ceremony with Huaxia characteristics,"
Demon said with a sowhat embarrassed smile, he too seed a little uncomfortable with it!
"Hall Master, how do you like it? Are you satisfied?"
At this mont, Clown popped up from sowhere, squinted his eyes, and smirked at Su Chen.
"Satisfied my ass!"
Su Chen couldn't help but slap Clown's head and said irritably:
"Only you would co up with these flashy stunts. Take it all down!"
"I said that you wouldn't like this and you wouldn't listen!"
Lone Wolf said dismissively at the side.
"When did you say that? I didn't hear anything,"
Clown retorted with dissatisfaction. Indeed, Lone Wolf had said so, it's just Clown believed the Hall Master would definitely like it, hence he insisted on doing it!
Demon and the others also felt there was no need to do this; they were not very fond of such formalities on the surface.
However, this was just a trifle, and since Clown wanted to do it, they just let him. Maybe the Hall Master would like it?
The others burst into "tittering" laughter at the sight of Clown seeming a little deflated.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and clean this up!"
Clown said crossly, as the laughter grew, but they started cleaning up the things they had set up earlier in the morning.
Although the Nether Temple had strict rules and a clear hierarchy, people were quite informal with each other in their daily interactions.
This was also because Su Chen was such a person and it influenced them; they found this way of interacting more comfortable.
It was an important reason why the Nether Temple had such strong cohesion: firstly, treating everyone as a person and not a machine or even a slave!
After that, Demon, Clown, Eniel, Lone Wolf, Military Blade, and a dozen other leaders followed Su Chen inside, while the others, of course, didn't have that privilege yet!
"Demon, have you prepared all the things I asked for before?"
As Su Chen walked inside, he asked.
"I prepared them long ago; they're placed in the yard behind the main hall."
The Demon answered. Right after Su Chen had instructed him, he imdiately commanded others to take care of it.
"Hall Master, what do you want with those rocks and the finest jade?"
Even though he had ticulously completed Su Chen's orders, he was still clueless about what Su Chen was actually planning.
"You'll know when the ti cos."
Su Chen smiled mysteriously and continued walking straight ahead.
Then, the others followed Su Chen into a yard behind the main hall, and upon entering, they were all sowhat taken aback. They saw that the place was filled with various rocks and so old trees that had been transplanted there.
"Su Chen, what are you planning to do with all this?"
Eniel couldn't help but express her astonishnt. She had felt sothing strange after overhearing their conversation, and now seeing so many rocks and old trees, she was even more puzzled!
The rest also wore similar expressions of confusion, uncertain about what the Hall Master intended to do.
"Alright, the rest of you can get on with your tasks. I can handle this alone."
Su Chen waved his hand and said.
Of course, Su Chen needed all these items to arrange the Gathering Yuan Formation, which would also speed up the cultivation pace of everyone in the Temple, critically enhancing the overall strength of the Nether Temple.
Having returned to the Temple, Su Chen didn't mind spending a bit more ti on this.
"Hall Master, don't you need help?" the Demon asked.
"No need, you wouldn't be able to help even if you stayed."
Su Chen said offhandedly:
"I'll be busy for a while, let's talk tonight."
Su Chen had them go about their own business not because he was worried they would see him setting up the formation, but because there was no need to have so many people trailing behind him.
In fact, even if they watched him, they might not understand; the Way of Formation wouldn't be so straightforward if Array Masters weren't so rare!
Upon hearing this, the Demon and the others took their leave, yet Eniel decided to stay.
Su Chen felt soone still behind him and couldn't help but glance back.
"What? Do you want to chase away too?"
Eniel, seeing Su Chen's glance, retorted indignantly.
"If you want to stay, then stay!"
Su Chen shrugged, knowing full well that if he dared to ask her to leave, he would be in for trouble.
He also knew that Eniel wanted to spend more ti with him, so what else could he say?
Shadow had wanted to stay as well, but after a glance at the two of them, she walked out with the others.
After all, the two had a rare chance to be together, and she didn't want to be a third wheel!
Su Chen's imdiate concern wasn't Eniel but rather the essential points and pivotal elents of the dium Gathering Yuan Formation he was contemplating in his mind.
Yes, Su Chen planned to try setting up a dium Gathering Yuan Formation, and if that proved unsuccessful, he would arrange a smaller one.
Although Su Chen had left early in the morning to catch a flight, due to the ti difference and the flight duration, it was only about nine or ten in the morning in Morillo at the mont.
For the ti following, Su Chen was continuously shuttling in and out of the palace, now placing a stone here and constantly adjusting its position, now planting a tree there...
His busy figure naturally drew the attention of others. The Demon and the rest lived in the palace, naturally noticing Su Chen's actions and being utterly baffled by them.
Not just them—the constantly attending Eniel also found it incomprehensible and had no idea what he was doing...
