In the great hall, there was complete silence.
Gu Zhan slowly turned around, once again gazing at everyone in the hall as he did when he first entered.
At this mont,
except for the few Supre Grandmasters, everyone else stood up and saluted with clasped hands.
Even the disheveled Song Lingjun and the Danyang Sect Grandmaster, who had a few teeth knocked out by Gu Zhan’s slap, bowed with dark faces.
Wei Wuya and Yuan Zhixiang exchanged a helpless glance and sighed,
both knowing that today’s incident,
ant Gu Zhan had stepped on Sword King City to rise in status,
this farce signified that before everyone’s eyes, Gu Zhan had completed his transformation from a young prodigy to a giant in the Martial World, standing on the sa level as the older generation of top figures.
After today, no one can act superior in front of Gu Zhan,
in the past, they could hold their seniority over him, making Gu Zhan sowhat apprehensive, but after today, the entire Martial World must acknowledge Gu Zhan’s qualifications; if anyone still tries to act superior in front of him, he can slap them at will, and even if it spreads, no one would bla him for disrespecting his elders.
In the great hall, amidst the silence,
the mood of the elite from each sect was quite complicated,
none had expected that at today’s banquet, they would witness a change of leadership and see how a young prodigy beca a leading figure in the Martial World.
As Gu Zhan sat down,
everyone else in the hall also sat down, yet the atmosphere remained oppressive.
Many were still in a daze,
no one expected that among the young prodigies, the first to completely transform would be the suddenly erging Gu Zhan, not Sword King’s Sword One, not the top female prodigy Nangong Weiyang, nor the child of fortune Jin Yuanbao or Little Vajra Niu Pei; even the prodigies from previous generations are still lingering at mid-levels, yet Gu Zhan, the latest generation of prodigy, had already beco a giant.
Those most affected were the prodigies from previous generations,
present in the hall were so from previous generations, such as Sword King City’s Jade-faced Zhenren Wei Zi’ang, Golden Crow Sword Sect’s Haitang One Sword, dicine King Valley’s Furong Fairy, and others,
they were all prodigies from previous generations and among the foremost, already at Grandmaster Level, undisputed top figures in their respective sects,
yet they always felt fortunate not to have been born in the sa era as Qi Baiyu Sword One, having witnessed how terrifying the latest prodigies were,
however, now, they actually felt so sympathy for Qi Baiyu and Sword One, these two once-in-a-century prodigies should have been unmatched and leading figures, appearing together and progressing side by side was already a contentious era,
but now, had erged a Gu Zhan,
being born in this era is the greatest misfortune!
...
In the great hall,
Wei Wuya had already instructed soone to replace the broken furniture, the Danyang Sect Grandmaster who lost a few teeth left in sha, while Song Lingjun was unable to leave, representing Danyang Sect, he could only sit there uneasily.
Fortunately, not much ti passed,
footsteps sounded outside,
everyone in the hall looked up, and a group of people dressed in Astronomical Bureau official garb, led by a Sword King City Grandmaster, entered.
Leading them was a seemingly ordinary white-haired old man, with a lean face, in excellent spirits, but without any imposing presence, just like a simple old man.
However, everyone in the hall was renowned experts, knowing all too well that the more ordinary one seems, the more it proves the visitor’s prowess has reached Peak of Perfection, rging with the Great Dao, returning to simplicity.
Everyone quickly guessed the man’s identity, indeed Yunzhou’s Director of the Imperial Observatory, Qin You, a renowned Supre Grandmaster in Yunzhou, always reputed to be second only to Demon Dao’s top expert Ye Zhaonan and Righteous Dao’s top expert Wei Wuya.
The crowd first saw Qin You, then noticed beside Qin You an elderly man carrying a Broken Saber on his back, his hair mixed black and white, with a gloomy gaze, appearing older than Qin You himself.
Based on his appearance, the martial arts experts imdiately identified the man’s identity, Qin You’s chief disciple, Yunzhou’s Vice Director, nad Yang Ge, also a renowned Supre Grandmaster.
After the Astronomical Bureau entered,
Wei Wuya stood and saluted, "Honored guests from afar, please be seated."
Qin You smiled and returned the salute, looking at several Supre Grandmasters, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, for hosting. It’s been years, yet everyone remains as extraordinary as ever..."
At this point, Qin You noticed the young man seated at the left head position, paused in bewildernt, and asked curiously, "This fellow Daoist seems unfamiliar..."
Wei Wuya stepped down to introduce, "Allow to introduce to Fellow Daoist Qin, this is Gu Gu Zhan, Palm Seal of Beidou Bang; Dragon King was unable to co, and sent Palm Seal Gu to attend in his place."
Qin You’s eyes fleetingly showed a trace of surprise, he was a veteran of the Martial World and understood how much rank was valued on such occasions,
though Gu Zhan was representing Mo Jingzhou, he wasn’t Mo Jingzhou, yet was able to sit here, which was beyond his expectations.
"So it’s the renowned God of Slaughter in person, pardon my lack of respect," Qin You said as he saluted Gu Zhan, "Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old, I have heard much of Palm Seal Gu’s fa, truly admirable!"
