Everyone's heart skipped a beat at the sight of the ark.
To the 38 Grandmasters, this was not a good thing at all. They had already agreed to split the spoils fairly. If Jiuxiao Sect did not agree to it, then they would just have to fight it out.
If Jiuxiao Sect knew their place and agreed to their request, they wouldn't mind allowing Jiuxiao Sect to continue existing.
Now that another unknown force had arrived, they felt that they would have to get a smaller share of the spoils.
If it were just a normal sect, they could just ignore them.
But looking at the size of the ark, it was definitely not a small sect.
...
Lin Fan stood on the ark and looked down. This ark of his Grandmaster was a good thing indeed. To think that they could reach the far west in just a few days. That speed was pretty incredible.
But compared to the Roc, the difference was way too big.
In the blink of an eye, the Roc could reach Glory Sect from Jiuxiao Sect with a single flap of its wings.
But then again, the price of summoning the Roc was heart-wrenching as well.
"Eh? There's activity?" Lin Fan noticed that the Main Hall of Jiuxiao Sect was bustling with activity. There seemed to be many people gathered there.
But Lin Fan was no fool. Given Jiuxiao Sect's current situation, it was already a good thing that they weren't split up by other sects.
...
"Senior Brother, bear with it. Forget it." Feng Xiaoling said from behind Xinfeng.
All the other sects were eyeing them covetously. If a war were to break out, Jiuxiao Sect might really be destroyed just like that.
Xinfeng did not reply. He knew better than anyone else that the once glorious Jiuxiao Sect was reduced to such a state. It was a tragic thing indeed.
Not a single one of them was spared. If only there was a single greater celestial full cultivation being left, things would be different.
But looking at the situation now, the strongest person in the sect was only a lesser celestial. What a tragedy!
The ark floated above the skies of Jiuxiao Sect. The Jiuxiao Sect disciples were dumbfounded as well. What a huge and dazzling ark!
The 38 sects looked at the ark in envy as well. Since when had their sects ever had such a huge ark?
The Patriarchs of the 38 sects looked at each other with worry in their eyes. Just what kind of sect is this?
Yan Hongyu's Battle Ark was silver in color on the surface without any markings. This was also because Yan Hongyu felt that he should keep a low profile. Even though Glory Sect was strong, he couldn't just shine so brightly when he was outside.
"Brother Xinfeng, that's not right of you. Why didn't you send us a notice before holding a celebration? If not for the fact that I had some matters to attend to and bumped into it coincidentally, I might not have known about it at all." Just then, a figure leaped down from the ark.
The moment Xinfeng caught sight of that figure, his face changed as he rushed forth.
The faces of the 38 Grandmasters changed immediately. To think that the person who had arrived was Xinfeng's friend! But even so, it didn't hinder their plan to divide the land.
As for the Jiuxiao Sect disciples, they were extremely excited.
"Damn, it's Senior Brother Lin."
"Ha, Senior Brother Lin is here. I have to hurry up and prepare the best tea."
"Hurry, hurry! Senior Brother Lin is here! How dare these 38 Grandmasters act so insolently?"
Now that the Jiuxiao Sect disciples knew whose disciple Lin Fan was, their initially indignant hearts were filled with excitement.
They knew of Senior Brother Lin's relationship with the Grandmaster. They were really good buddies!
Feng Xiaoling heaved a sigh of relief in his heart as well. He had wanted to ask Senior Brother Lin to come over, but Senior Brother Lin shook his head.
Now that Senior Brother Lin was here, this was undoubtedly a turning point for Jiuxiao Sect.
"Brother Lin, why are you here?" Xinfeng was naturally happy to see Lin Fan here. However, he was a little puzzled as to why Lin Fan was here.
"Why? I'm not welcome? Oh my, this is the Grandmaster's attire, right? I'm not trying to nag at you, but to think that you didn't even inform us about the coronation ceremony. I'm getting a little angry now. " Lin Fan was elated to see Xinfeng in the Grandmaster's attire. At least Jiuxiao Sect wasn't going to remain silent just like that.
"Brother Lin, this is just a small matter. Come, come up and take a seat." Xinfeng pulled Lin Fan over hurriedly.
Feng Xiaoling's eyes and hands were sharp. Immediately, he brought out a chair from within the Main Hall and placed it beside the Grandmaster's seat.
What a joke! Who was Senior Brother Lin? He was the strongest person in the world!
To think that even the Senior Elder Li Yuanqi was nothing more than an ant in the hands of Senior Brother Lin, who could be crushed as he pleased.
Some of the Jiuxiao Sect disciples were bewildered.
"Senior Brother, who's Senior Brother Lin? How can he sit beside the Grandmaster? "This disciple's cultivation base was relatively low, and he did not understand some things.
"Just watch quietly and don't speak. I'll tell you one thing. Senior Brother Lin is here today. These 38 Grandmasters are going to be in deep sh * t."
"Ah? Senior Brother, are you for real? These 38 Grandmasters are all greater celestials …!" The disciple asked blankly.
"Hehe, Greater celestial? Alright, I'll talk to you later. I've got to go get those desserts for Senior Brother Lin. Has the Junior Brother who served the tea prepared them? "
"Senior Brother, he's gone …!" The disciple's face was filled with shock. Looking at his Senior Brothers around him, he was confused as well. Why were all of them so angry just a moment ago? Why were they all smiling now?
All 38 Grandmasters were stumped as they looked at the man seated beside Xinfeng, wondering who he was. But the scene that followed had them completely stumped.
What were those Jiuxiao Sect disciples doing? Why were they so passionate?
"Senior Brother Lin, this is the best tea we have in Jiuxiao Sect!" A disciple carefully carried a cup of tea and walked over from afar. He then placed it on the table respectfully and even took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on the teacup.
"Senior Brother Lin, here's the desserts!"
"Senior Brother Lin, are your shoulders tired? Let me massage them for you!"
"Senior Brother Lin, are your feet sore? Let me soak them for you!"
"Senior Brother Lin …!"
...
Everyone from the 38 sects looked at the scene before them with their jaws agape. What in the world was going on?
Just who in the world was this man? Why were all these Jiuxiao Sect disciples so attentive to him?
Thinking about the treatment they were receiving, compared to the treatment they were receiving, the difference was like Heaven and Earth!
Everyone from the 38 sects were thoroughly enraged. Weren't these people looking down on them?
...
Lin Fan was bewildered by these disciples as well.
"Alright, alright. What's wrong with all of you today? Your passion is making Yours Truly a little uncomfortable." Lin Fan chuckled.
Xinfeng stood at the side and smiled helplessly. He was feeling a little jealous as well. Even he did not have such treatment. To think that Brother Lin's arrival would cause all these disciples to be so busy.
Lin Fan raised his teacup and took a sip, "Brother Lin, this ascension ceremony is pretty grand indeed. To think that there would be so many people here. Introduce them …"
Just as Xinfeng was about to introduce them, the 38 Grandmasters looked at one another and nodded their heads.
"There's no need for introductions. Do you agree to our conditions?"
At this moment, everyone's gazes turned towards Xinfeng.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, picked up a dessert with a weird smile on his face.
