The Purple Cloud Palace, which opened once every three years, was finally closed. This time, out of the 100 people who entered the Purple Cloud Palace, only 53 people returned successfully. The remaining 47 people lost their lives, which more or less made this trip to the Purple Cloud Palace a little gray.
Among the 47 people who returned successfully, only eight of them obtained something from the Purple Cloud Palace. Among them, Wang Chen, Wan Ze, Wang Yan, Dong Hao, Zhou Wei, and Han Yuxuan occupied six seats! Among them, Wang Chen's harvest was, of course, the most abundant.
As the Purple Cloud Palace closed, everyone left the Purple Cloud Palace one after another and returned to their respective sects or families.
Of course, the most worth discussing in the Purple Cloud Palace this time was the story of Wang Chen fighting three Martial Emperors, especially the story of Wang Chen killing a rank eight Martial Emperor. It spread to every corner of the Northern Borderline in a short period of time.
This made Wang Chen's reputation immeasurable. He became the most powerful figure in the Northern Borderline and the target that all the younger generation of martial artists chased after.
Although Wang Chen was still ranked tenth on the Tiger Leaderboard, no one dared to underestimate him anymore. Some people even put him in the top three of the Tiger Leaderboard.
Wang Chen didn't care about all this.
"Boy, when the day comes that you have the confidence to defeat a rank nine Martial Emperor, go to the Central Continent. The Northern Borderline can't trap you after all!" At this time, in the Azure Moon Kingdom, Dongfang Niu Hao looked at Wang Chen and said with emotion.
It had been five days since they left the Purple Cloud Palace. Wang Chen and his group arrived in the Azure Moon Kingdom.
At this moment, it was finally time for the group to separate on this fork in the road.
After the trip to the Purple Cloud Palace, Wang Chen had already quietly changed his original plan!
He had originally planned to go directly to the Black Dragon City after the trip to the Purple Cloud Palace, to the Netherworld Sea, and to find that mysterious tomb. However, the sudden change forced Wang Chen to change their original plan.
On Mount Donglin, Carefree Sect had joined forces with several small sects and had begun to eye Xingchen School covetously. In fact, a large number of people had already started to gather. The atmosphere of an impending storm forced Wang Chen to put aside his plan for the time being!
As for Wang Yan, under Dongfang Niu Hao's request, he had gone straight to the Central Continent. Therefore, this trip to the tomb could only be put aside for the time being.
After all, Zhang Hu, Black Bear, and Sun Yifan hadn't sent any specific news from the Black Dragon City.
The island marked on the map was very difficult to approach! Without the support of a powerful combat force, it was impossible to get close.
Wang Yan's departure had undoubtedly put their plans on hold!
"Yes!" Hearing Dongfang Niu Hao's words, Wang Chen nodded and replied in a deep voice.
Central Continent … Thinking that Wang Yan was about to go to the Central Continent, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It was a place that he would have to go to sooner or later.
After parting ways with Wang Yan and the others, Wang Chen brought Wan Ze and headed straight for Xingchen School.
Faced with the impending storm, Xingchen School was fully prepared. Almost all the disciples of Xingchen School who were training outside had been summoned back to Xingchen School.
Even Xiang Qiankan, Ke 'er, Kuang Ren, Zi Lan, and the others who were in Nefas City couldn't avoid being summoned back to Xingchen School! A great war was gradually approaching them.
Accompanied by the onslaught of this storm, the Northern Border was already shrouded in a layer of gray shadow. The atmosphere was extremely heavy! It was suffocating.
Fifteen days later, Wang Chen and Wan Ze returned to Xingchen School.
At this time, almost all the disciples who were away from Xingchen School had been summoned back. This year, the number of outer disciples in Xingchen School had reached 317, and the number of inner disciples had reached 153! There were a total of 470 people! This made Xingchen School seem much livelier.
However, in the face of sects like Donglin Mountain and Carefree Sect, these 470 people seemed insignificant.
Wang Chen's return to Xingchen School naturally caused a commotion.
Now, Wang Chen's name shook the northern border. In Xingchen School, he had become a role model for everyone to learn from. This was especially true for the outer sect members, who pursued this legendary Senior Brother to the extreme. Wang Chen had become the flag bearer of Xingchen School's younger generation.
Wang Chen's return set off a climax in Xingchen School.
On the day he returned to Xingchen School, Wang Chen was summoned to the inner sect conference room and had a face-to-face discussion with all the elders and revered elders of Xingchen School for the entire afternoon.
At this time, in the face of the allied army led by Donglin Mountain and Carefree Sect, a heavy atmosphere pervaded the air within Xingchen School.
All 470 people in Xingchen School were prepared for battle.
Three days later, Xingchen School held a general assembly in the public square of the inner sect.
Inside Xingchen School, all the disciples were gathered. The five elders and nine revered elders of Xingchen School were also present.
This added a lot of solemnity to this general assembly. After all, it was impossible for the revered elders to attend ordinary general assemblies in the sect, especially when all nine elders were present at the same time. This was almost impossible.
The purpose of this general assembly was very simple. It was to announce an extremely important matter.
As everyone was present, the sect leader of Xingchen School, Tai Yunsong, looked at everyone and said slowly, "Today is the day of Xingchen School's grand ceremony. After a thousand years of development, Xingchen School stands tall in the northern borders. However, there is no lack of rascals in the northern borders who are eyeing our Xingchen School covetously!
"Thirty years ago, our Xingchen School hid from the world for thirty years in the face of the allied army.
"Today, thirty-five years later, our Xingchen School is once again facing the provocation of rascals! "The dignity of our Xingchen School is not to be violated. Those who dare to offend us will be killed no matter how strong they are!"
These simple words displayed an unparalleled domineering aura! His words were filled with murderous intent.
"Fight, fight, fight …"
Following Tai Yunsong's words, a series of furious roars came from below.
They were bound together for good or ill. In the face of danger, everyone in Xingchen School was united as one.
Hearing this deafening roar, Tai Yunsong revealed a trace of a smile.
Immediately after, he coughed lightly to signal everyone to quiet down and continued, "A thousand years ago, our Xingchen School only had three elders. A hundred years ago, it developed to five elders. Today, our Xingchen School will add another elder!"
Speaking to this point, Tai Yunsong's eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a trace of a smile.
"Hua …"
Hearing Tai Yunsong's words, everyone present was in an uproar.
Everyone knew that for a hundred years, Xingchen School had only had five inner sect elders and two outer sect elders. Now that they heard Tai Yunsong's words, they were going to add another elder today. This was definitely shocking news!
Which of the elders of Xingchen School wasn't an extremely strong person? Now that they were going to add another person, who would it be? For a moment, everyone was discussing spiritedly.
While everyone was in an uproar, Tai Yunsong continued, "Today, our Xingchen School will give birth to a sixth elder in the inner sect. He is …"
Speaking to this point, Tai Yunsong paused for a moment, then his gaze swept across everyone present.
This gaze seemed to be able to see through everyone's hearts.
Under this gaze, everyone held their breaths and quietly waited for the result. This was absolutely unprecedented for Xingchen School!
In the past thousand years, the elders of Xingchen School had only changed twice. However, every time an elder changed, it meant that Xingchen School had taken another step forward!
A thousand years ago, Xingchen School was defeated by the Central Mainland and had to go to the northern border. At that time, there were only three elders! Xingchen School had secluded itself from the world.
Three hundred years ago, the number of elders in Xingchen School had increased to four. Xingchen School had re-emerged and stood among the ranks of the first-rate sects in the northern border.
A hundred years ago, the number of elders in Xingchen School had increased to five, and Xingchen School had also developed into the ranks of the number one sects in the northern border.
Anyone could see that every time an elder was added, Xingchen School would advance!
Now, a storm was brewing. Facing such a situation, Xingchen School had added an elder, could it be …
This inevitably caused everyone to speculate.
"Xingchen School's sixth elder, Wang Chen!!"
Amidst the sounds of discussion, Tai Yunsong announced the final answer.
Hua …
This answer was like a bomb exploding in the crowd.
"Wang Chen, it's actually Wang Chen!"
"Oh my god, Senior Wang Chen isn't even twenty this year, right? He's actually become an elder of our Xingchen School? "
"I … I didn't hear wrongly, right? Wang Chen, it's actually Wang Chen. He's only been in the sect for less than five years, and he's actually become our Xingchen School's sixth elder? "
At that moment, at the forefront of the crowd, Wang Chen, who was standing among the core disciples, became the focus of everyone's attention.
Wang Chen, this man who had entered Xingchen School for less than five years, had created countless miracles. He had actually become Xingchen School's sixth elder. This news undoubtedly impacted everyone's nerves.
Although everyone knew that Xingchen School's elders would be born among the core disciples or direct disciples.
But now, Wang Chen's ranking among the core disciples was not number one. There were still many people in front of Wang Chen!
Although Wang Chen's strength was enough for him to rank in the top three, or even second, among the core disciples. After all, the second core disciple, Yang Sha, had only displayed the strength of a rank two emperor martial artist in the Beijiang Tournament!
But Xingchen School still had the number one core disciple. Moreover, it was said that this number one core disciple was getting stronger and had stepped into the ranks of high-level emperor martial artists. He was the best candidate for an elder, but now …
Everyone looked at Wang Chen with a complicated look in their eyes. Some were puzzled, some were envious, and some were emotional.
Feeling everyone's gazes, Wang Chen revealed a trace of a bitter smile.
He had known this outcome three days ago.
Three days ago, when he returned to the sect, Wang Chen learned of this news during the afternoon meeting. At that time, he was also shocked. But under the persuasion of Tai Yunsong and the various elders, he still accepted it. He had long expected such a shocking scene today.
Following Tai Yunsong's announcement, Wang Chen slowly walked out of the crowd and walked up the high platform step by step.
From today onwards, Wang Chen was Xingchen School's sixth elder, becoming a top existence in Xingchen School.
On the platform, Wang Chen's waist tag was taken back by Tai Yunsong. Then, he exchanged it for an elder's waist tag, which represented his identity.
