Chapter 2881: Chapter 2901: Sect Master’s Pep Talk: Let hype you up!
In the hall, the lamplight shone brightly.
Several tables were laden with all kinds of delicious dishes, and fine wine wafted through the air, with the senior managent, backbone, and elites of the sect all in attendance.
Before Lin Chen even reached the entrance of the hall, a disciple greeted him from afar, calling out, “The Sect Master has arrived!”
“Splash!”
Everyone who had been seated stood up in unison, and the Deputy Sect Master seated at the head of the table, along with all the Hall Masters and Deputy Hall Masters, all stood up and walked to the entrance of the hall to welco Lin Chen.
When they saw Lin Chen, they were all slightly stunned.
They had taken into account Lin Chen’s family when planning the banquet and, although there hadn’t been much contact over the years, they could vaguely sense that this group of people was not weak in strength.
Inviting the Sect Master to a banquet naturally ant not leaving out his family, but why had only Lin Chen co alone, smiling and swinging his hands?
Where were the others?
“Sect Master!”
Deputy Sect Master Chen Shuihe took the lead in saluting, and everyone bowed their hands, their etiquette impeccable.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “I am late. You’ve been waiting for a while.”
Enforcent Hall Master Chi Ya asked, “Sect Master, where is your family? Why are you alone?”
Lin Chen chuckled, “My family is large and can be noisy and inappropriate. Today, let’s just gather and chat among ourselves, there’s no need to worry about them.”
Chi Ya laughed, “Gathering everyone together is all about the liveliness; there’s nothing inappropriate about it. The Sect Master is overthinking.”
Lin Chen waved his hand, “I only briefly t everyone before and didn’t have the chance to get to know you well. This evening is a good opportunity to chat. They can make their own arrangents.”
Seeing Lin Chen insist, Chi Ya changed her approach, “The banquet is all prepared. How about I send the disciples to deliver the feast to the manor? What do you think, Sect Master?”
After thinking for a mont, Lin Chen replied, “Alright, send it over. Let’s not waste it.”
Chi Ya nodded and extended her hand, “Sect Master, please.”
Lin Chen was invited to the head of the table, and without any reservation, he took his seat directly.
No matter how others viewed him or what he would do in the future, he was now the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, and that was an absolute certainty. Therefore, he saw no need to be deferential.
Too much modesty and deference would not make people think you are polite; instead, they might think you lack ability or are cowardly!
After so pleasantries, Chen Shuihe stood up, his voice loud and clear, “Our Haoran Sect was once an elite force of the War God Temple, but ended up being unloved and uncared for, especially after the forr Sect Master had an incident, we beca even less regarded. Going out, we were looked down upon.”
“As the Deputy Sect Master, it pained to see this situation, but my power was limited and I could not bring about change. Now, thankfully, we finally have a new Sect Master.”
“The Sect Master may be young, but he has earned this position through genuine military achievents. In the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, he encountered the vanguard troops of the Demon Race, who wanted to establish a teleportation formation, bypass the Crimson Immortal Domain, and directly transport a large force of the Demon Race to attack the rear of the Immortal Realm from the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, turning it into their main base. However, their plans were completely destroyed by our Sect Master.”
“The Sect Master engaged with the Demon Race three tis, not only destroying their teleportation formation but also foiling their plans to rebuild it. Ultimately, he even located the leading Quasi-Saint of the Demon Race and assisted the cultivators of the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain in killing him, completely shattering the Demon Race’s sche.”
“I believe that after the coming of the Sect Master, the current predicant of our Haoran Sect will certainly be broken, and we will be able to reclaim our past glory!”
Many disciples in the hall had their eyes lit up, and their gazes suddenly turned fervent.
“Now, please listen to the Sect Master’s speech!”
Lin Chen looked at Chen Shuihe, his mind uncertain. Was he genuinely expecting him to bring change to the Haoran Sect, or was he simply puffing him up, setting him on the fire?
Praising himself for how capable and esteed by the War God Temple he was, if he couldn’t accomplish anything later on or fail to bring any change, how could he continue to face everyone as the Sect Master, amidst their disappointnt?
Lin Chen stood up with a warm smile and said with a laugh, “Vice Sect Master Chen’s words have almost sent to the skies; I almost couldn’t co down…”
After smoothly segueing with that comnt, which elicited laughter among the people, Lin Chen changed the topic, “Let introduce myself. My na is Lin Chen, hailing from a small place you wouldn’t know the na of. I’m not old, but along the way, I’ve experienced quite a bit.”
“Before reaching the state of an Immortal, I served as the Human Emperor, rebuilding the Ascension Channel and diating the millennia-old grudge between the Human Clan and the demon race. Above the state of Immortal, I’ve stopped the invasion of the High-ranked Immortal Realm’s Daluo Immortal Sect, shattered their conspiracy to annex and gather the Immortal Domains – overcoming the strong despite being weak and ensuring the independence of the Immortal Domain.”
“Above Daluo, I haven’t really done any good deeds. I’ve acted willfully, offending people everywhere, offending the big shots of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain one by one, almost without exception. Having no choice, I ran to the Crimson Immortal Domain, planning to look for opportunities in the Immortal-Demon War, and that’s how I have the fate of gathering with everyone here today…”
