Chapter 780: Chapter 770 The Great Jiazi Ceremony
Inside the Temple of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, there were not many people. Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong sat in the center, flanked by Grand Commander Jio Yuanxiu, Vice Sect Hierarch Yao Sen, Tian Guizhang, Fengh Qingyue, Nian Xinghe, and two high-ranking mbers of the Divine Sect whom Ye Zhen did not recognize. The atmosphere was solemn.
When Ye Zhen appeared, Fengh Qingyue’s pretty face suddenly showed a trace of a smile, and she winked at Ye Zhen. This scene was naturally caught by Jian Qianxiong, sitting in the middle. Although Jian Qianxiong’s expression did not change, his eyes were sowhat complicated.
In addition, Jio Yuanxiu, Yao Sen, Nian Xinghe, and the two high-ranking officials unknown to Ye Zhen, including Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, all looked tired, clearly having been working tirelessly these past days.
Seeing Ye Zhen enter, Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang repeatedly showed goodwill toward him, almost fawning over him on the spot.
He couldn’t help it, as he truly regretted it now.
He had not expected that Ye Zhen would have such fortune. Over the past few days, he had learned the ins and outs of the matter and had basically understood the specific role Ye Zhen played in it.
Thus, he almost regretted it to his core.
If Ye Zhen had inford him of this matter, and he had reported it to the Sect Leader, his position in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect might have been thoroughly solidified, and he could have even planned to expand his influence within the sect.
However, due to his previous stance in the palace coup incident, he completely fell out with Ye Zhen, losing this opportunity.
Not only that, but because of his erroneous advice when the Sect Leader made his decision that day, people began to doubt his ability, and he was sidelined. In contrast, Yao Sen, who had been sowhat ostracized, was now again receiving significant attention and was even leading sect mbers on an expedition, while he was left only with the useless title of coordinator.
Ignoring Tian Guizhang, Ye Zhen stepped forward boldly, “Subordinate Ye Zhen, pays respects to the Sect Leader!”
“You have co at just the right ti. We have been unable to contact you these past days, and we were just worrying about having no suitable candidate for this task. I didn’t expect you to co,” Jian Qianxiong said with a light smile.
This attitude surprised the high-ranking mbers of the Divine Sect present. At this critical mont, anyone in the sect who couldn’t be reached by talisman communication would face reprimand or even punishnt. Yet in Ye Zhen’s case, it was casually brushed aside.
“Please, Sect Leader, give your orders!” Ye Zhen said.
Jian Qianxiong glanced casually to his sides, then said softly, “In fact, this task can only fall to you, mainly because we need to draw upon your master’s power!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart suddenly stirred, just as he was about to speak when a figure suddenly appeared at the temple entrance, “Reporting to the Sect Leader, the three Supre Elders seek an audience!” This was the voice of Zhang Deli, the Sect Leader’s ssenger Envoy of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!
“Get out!”
Before Zhang Deli’s voice could fall, a shout of anger rang out, causing Zhang Deli’s body to be thrown back, “When did old n like us need to be announced to see the Sect Leader?”
Amidst the angry shout, three elderly n, dressed in purple robes and wearing jade crowns, stepped into the temple, their presence accompanied by Zhang Deli’s pained cries.
All three elders exuded a strong aura of decrepitude, indicating they were quite advanced in age. Yet the aura surrounding them was extrely intimidating.
The few simple steps they took into the temple caused several small whirlwinds inside.
Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s expression slightly changed as he stepped forward to greet them, while Ye Zhen’s gaze suddenly beca extrely sharp.
To be precise, five people actually entered. Among them, two were rendered invisible due to the overwhelming presence of the three Supre Elders.
However, Ye Zhen noticed Yua Hanjing, in a bright red dress and as alluring as a rose, gently supporting the arm of the leading elder with an intimate expression.
Even with Jian Qianxiong’s shrewdness, his eye twitched when he saw this, as Yua Hanjing was once his woman, although he had neglected her for many years.
“Hanjing, after so many years, every ti you reappear after disappearing, you give a grand surprise, don’t you? Truly remarkable!” Jian Qianxiong stared at Yua Hanjing and burst into laughter.
“Sect Leader, what are you talking about? If your forr man is unreliable, you have to find a way out for yourself, right?
One can’t hang on one tree! Besides, in my eyes, Supre Elder Louu is far more interesting than you, a wooden person!” Yua Hanjing said, tossing a flirtatious glance at the Supre Elder Louu she was supporting, causing him to laugh heartily.
Jian Qianxiong’s face imdiately turned ashen, while Ye Zhen was slightly surprised.
With his Divine Soul Power, he clearly sensed the change in Yua Hanjing’s gaze when she said this.
Madness!
A gaze filled with madness and malice!
“Qianxiong, surely you won’t be angry with the old man over this woman? The life of ditative cultivation is dull, and Hanjing, with her understanding of fun, can relieve the old man’s loneliness!” Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou laughed while stroking his long beard.
Jian Qianxiong cast a dismissive gaze at Yua Hanjing, “Why would I? This Sect Leader hasn’t used her for decades!”
In sum, Jian Qianxiong ant that Yua Hanjing was just leftover, useless goods to him, causing Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou’s face to freeze, and Yua Hanjing’s lovely face to turn ashen.
Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of disgust, trying to imagine such a stunning woman serving an old relic like Louu Jiangyou, not to ntion finding it interesting?
A woman becos terrifying when she goes mad.
“Xinghe pays respects to the ancestor!” From a distance, Nian Xinghe knelt before a Supre Elder behind Louu Jiangyou.
Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong also bypassed the Grand Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou to greet the Supre Second Elder Nian Sijing and Supre Third Elder Cai Xingchang behind Louu Jiangyou.
“Why didn’t you inform that the two Supre Elders were leaving the valley, so I could arrange a welco feast!”
Supre Second Elder Nian Sijing first helped his grandson Nian Xinghe to his feet from afar, then smiled bitterly at Jian Qianxiong and said, “I received your talisman communication a few days ago and was going to co out, but Master Louu said to wait a few more days.
And now, Master Louu thinks it’s about ti, so he pulled us out with him!”
anwhile, Supre Third Elder Cai Xingchang did not respond and simply chuckled dryly, causing Jian Qianxiong’s expression to suddenly beco a bit peculiar.
The atmosphere in the grand hall instantly beca extrely strange. In Ye Zhen’s eyes, the posture of the three Supre Elders did not resemble that of individuals who had erged from the mountains to intimidate and awe on behalf of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect; instead, they seed more like agitators.
“Qianxiong, if the old man is not mistaken, there is less than half a year remaining until the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch’s Divine Sacrifice, right?” Grand Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou suddenly asked.
Jian Qianxiong replied lightly, “That’s right, the three-year cycle, with six and a half months left, is the three-year Divine Sacrifice!”
Upon hearing this, Louu Jiangyou chuckled, “Is it rely the three-year Divine Sacrifice? If the old man is not mistaken, it should be the sixtieth-year Major Sacrifice of the Cycle, right?”
