In the Prince's Mansion in Fengrun City!
Yu Haoran ordered calmly as he scanned the elite soldiers in the square.
"Everyone, sit cross-legged on the ground and use the rich Qi of Heaven and Earth in the mansion to increase your cultivation and strength to prepare for the upcoming battle."
"Yes, Sir!"
Lan Rong replied and immediately got up to arrange everyone's cultivation.
Yu Haoran turned and walked to the control hub of the formation under the White Tiger statue and sat cross-legged.
"Brother Ran, I'll have to trouble you from now on!"
He closed his eyes and took out a space crystal the size of a watermelon. He informed Víctor's second doppelganger to control the formation hub of the mansion while using the pure space energy in the space crystal to continue comprehending the essence of the Law of Space imparted to him by the Blood Void Beast. He wanted to advance to the next level of the Law of Space as soon as possible.
Although the main body and the two clones were independent entities, their minds were connected, and he could share his martial arts cultivation experience with the two clones.
Therefore, although the two doppelganger did not have the strength of a Martial God, their cultivation was at the peak of the ninth level of Emperor Wu.
With the support of Emperor Wu's peak of the ninth level of cultivation and the help of the formation ability of the Formation Deity, the Prince's Mansion floating above Fengrun City turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the void above Fengrun City after the initial violent shaking.
The sudden withdrawal of the 100,000 elite soldiers and the disappearance of the Prince's Mansion made the people in Fengrun City know that Yu Haoran had completely given up the rule of Fengrun City. This made them feel very reluctant and reluctant to part with it.
This was because during the period when Yu Haoran ruled Fengrun City, not only were the 100,000 elite soldiers strictly disciplined, they never disturbed the lives of the people in the city and did not collect any taxes.
Now that Yu Haoran took the initiative to give up Fengrun City, they were bound to return to the rule of the Great Han Empire and their happy lives would be plunged into the abyss of suffering again.
…!
Southern Mountain Range, Hundred Chi Gate!
Yu Haoran, Wu Zhengjun, The Sword Without Trace, and Jiang Siya's outstanding performance in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition in the Southern Region and the Five Regions had brought a huge amount of Hidden Dragon Luck to the Hundred Chi Gate, but the drawbacks caused by years of power struggle would not disappear so easily.
Therefore, the entire Hundred Chi Gate did not change much except for Qingyun Peak, which had been deliberately transformed by Yu Haoran.
Fierce Sun Peak!
After Chu Zhongyu had taken the initiative to step down, Lie Yan, who had taken over the position of Sect Master, had not only not tasted the sweetness of being a Sect Master, he was also badly battered by the turmoil in the Tian Xuan Land.
The sudden withdrawal of the Emperor Qin's Royal Family from Xianyang City to the Central Region had caused all the forces in the Southern Region to panic. This also caused the two consecutive recruitment ceremonies held by the Hundred Chi Gate to end sadly.
The sudden arrival of the Ancient Demon Clan and the Ancient God and Devil Clan had caused countless sects and clans to flee the Southern Region. The Hundred Chi Gate, which was only a thousand miles away from the Demon Sealing Secret Realm, had suffered an even greater impact.
Now, less than two months before the arrival of the Ancient Demon Clan, the number of elders, deacons, and disciples of the Hundred Chi Gate who had secretly left had exceeded seven thousand people, which was two-thirds of the total number of people in the sect.
This also caused him, the dignified Sect Master of a second-rate sect, to fall into a predicament where he had no one to rely on.
Standing at the peak of Fierce Sun Peak and looking at the rising sun, Lie Yan's eyes revealed a helpless and regretful expression.
Helplessness because he had just advanced to the First Grade Martial Saint Realm and was unable to change the situation in the Southern Region.
Regret because he had racked his brains to take over the position of Sect Master, which caused him to be unable to easily leave the Hundred Chi Gate and avoid the fatal crisis brought by the Ancient Demon Clan.
"Sect Master, last night, another 137 deacons and disciples secretly left the sect."
Just as Lie Yan was worrying about his future, Huang Xingcan, who had just been promoted to Vice Sect Master, brought news that made him feel even more regretful.
However, he had long been accustomed to this kind of news, so he did not feel the slightest bit angry. Instead, he continued to look at the rising sun above the mountain range.
"Sect Master, recently in the valley where the Demon Sealing Secret Realm is located, the movements of the Ancient Demon Clan have been increasing. What do you think we should do next?" Seeing that the Sect Master did not have any reaction, Huang Xingcan could not help but remind him with a regretful expression.
"What else can we do? Continue to wait!"
After withdrawing his gaze from the rising sun, Lie Yan replied with a helpless expression.
"No matter what, as the Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate, I, Lie Yan, cannot be a coward who abandons the sect and runs away."
"Sect Master, don't you have any other ideas?"
You are the Sect Master, you have the responsibility to live and die with the sect!
However, I, who was originally an ordinary deacon, was forcefully promoted to Vice Sect Master by you. What obligation do I have to live and die with the sect?
Therefore, Huang Xingcan, who had long been prepared to escape the sect, fulfilled his last bit of responsibility as the Vice Sect Master before leaving, and also asked with a last shred of hope.
"Unless Vice Sect Master Yu Haoran can return to the sect, there is nothing I can do." Lie Yan shook his head and replied with a bitter smile.
"Sigh!"
Today, Yu Haoran was not only the only emperor's son-in-law of the Great Emperor Qin Kingdom, but also a top powerhouse whose name shook the entire Profound Sky Continent. How could he return to the remote Hundred Chi Gate, and why would he care about the survival of the Hundred Chi Gate?
Therefore, Huang Xingcan, who had the last shred of hope in his heart shattered, could not help but sigh softly, and turned to leave the peak of Fierce Sun Peak.
After that, he directly gathered his confidants, fellow disciples, and friends who had long been prepared. Carrying a large amount of cultivation resources, he quietly left Fierce Sun Peak and the mountain range where the Hundred Chi Gate was located.
As Huang Xingcan was the Vice Sect Master of the Hundred Chi Gate, he was Lie Yan's confidant who was responsible for the affairs of the entire sect. His quiet departure immediately caused a chain reaction. Powerful sects like Cloud Listening Peak, De Yun Peak, and Dawnfall Peak, which had persevered to their limits, also packed their things and left the Hundred Chi Gate.
In an instant, the dignified second-rate sect of the Profound Sky Continent, the Hundred Chi Gate, had truly fallen to the point where it only existed in name.
For Lie Yan, who had reached the cultivation of a first-grade Martial Saint, he had long noticed that Huang Xingcan and the experts of the various sects had left. However, he did not make a move to stop them.
After all, as the Sect Master, he was unable to eliminate the fatal danger brought by the ancient demon race. Then, what right did he have to ask the others to live and die with the sect?
"Everyone of the Hundred Chi Gate, listen to my command!"
Not making a move to stop Huang Xingcan and the others from leaving did not mean that Lie Yan was not angry.
Moreover, he also knew that with Huang Xingcan and the people of the strongest sects leaving, it would definitely cause turmoil in the entire sect.
