The Ancient God, one of the Seven Great Sacred Lands of the Demonic Dao, had its own complete ceremony for the succession of the Hierarch. It would be spread throughout the world, inviting friends of the same Dao to attend the ceremony.
However, for the Ancient God, everything was already in place.
Chen Luoyang looked down at the crowd, his gaze falling on Peng Feng and Tang Yiming.
Peng Feng and his disciple met Chen Luoyang's gaze.
There was no emotion in the other party's eyes, nor was there any warmth.
Peng Feng and Tang Yiming felt an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.
It was as if Chen Luoyang had seen through them with a glance.
Previously, they had been actively opposing Chen Luoyang in private, but all of Chen Luoyang's actions had fallen into Chen Luoyang's eyes.
Elder Peng fell silent and let out a long breath of turbid air.
A dark golden glow flickered on his body.
As the only peak Martial Saint in the hall with a cultivation of level 18, Peng Feng's actions made some people feel uneasy.
On the contrary, Lian Bu Yi, Elder Gao, and the other peak experts remained calm.
On Peng Feng's body, a dark golden glow surged like a tide, retreating from the surface of his body and falling into his hands, turning into a pitch-black armor.
Together with the armor, there was also a strangely shaped short blade with a sawtooth-like edge.
Peng Feng maintained his kneeling posture, raising the armor and the blade high above his head, presenting them to Chen Luoyang above.
Seeing this, the people in the hall understood.
God Punishing Edge, Sin Fiend Armor.
These were the two greatest treasures of the Ancient God that the Hierarch wielded.
Previously, in order to resist the Savage Tribe King, these two treasures had fallen into Peng Feng's hands.
Now that Peng Feng had returned them to Chen Luoyang, it was tantamount to him admitting that Chen Luoyang was the Hierarch and allowing Chen Luoyang to do as he pleased.
A few people felt a sense of loss in their hearts.
Although Emperor Xi's Ancient Array was powerful, Chen Luoyang himself was still only a level 17 Martial Saint.
Peng Feng chose to return the God Punishing Edge and Sin Demon Armor, giving up even the last bit of hope.
A young man with disheveled hair took the treasure from Chen Luoyang's hand with a smile, then walked up the stairs and placed it on the table beside Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang didn't look at the two treasures, but he shifted his gaze away from Peng Feng.
Peng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Others would not be able to understand what he had just felt.
When Chen Luoyang's gaze fell on him, he felt an extreme sense of danger.
The God Punishing Edge and the Sin Demon Armor did not give him any sense of security.
With these two supreme treasures on him, he was confident that he could defeat the Azure Mist Steel.
However, he was even more certain that Chen Luoyang's strength was not as simple as just defeating the Canglan Iron.
Thinking back to the rumors that Chen Luoyang had once fought with the Queen of the Wildlands, Peng Feng deeply suspected that the strength of the Chen Luoyang in front of him was far beyond the imagination of others.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to return from the Connate Tomb with a bountiful harvest.
Other than Emperor Xi's Ancient Formation, this young man's own strength was absolutely shocking.
When the other party's gaze shifted away from him, Peng Feng finally felt the sense of danger disappear.
However, it was only the absence of a life-or-death crisis.
The terrifying aura still enveloped him, and he didn't dare to act recklessly.
Peng Feng understood that he was different from Du Qiming.
Du Qiming was a senior, and he was impartial and had no selfish motives. Previously, he was loyal to the Hierarch Jiang Yi because Jiang Yi's rule was beneficial to the stability of the cult and the development of the Ancient God itself.
He was not loyal to a specific person, but to the Hierarch of the Ancient God.
Chen Luoyang wasn't a narrow-minded person, and he didn't have the intention to purge the entire Ancient God. As long as Du Qiming submitted, he definitely wouldn't touch Elder Du.
Everyone was summoned to the Sacred Palace, except for Du Qiming and Zhang Tianheng. It was naturally not because they were insignificant, but because Chen Luoyang trusted them.
Since Du Qiming was the positive example, then the negative example would be Peng Feng.
If anything went wrong, Elder Peng would be beheaded immediately.
His performance just now was just a temporary redeeming of his life.
What would happen next would depend on his performance.
Elder Peng's heart was heavy.
His disciple Chief Tang's heart was even heavier.
Chen Luoyang shifted his gaze from Peng Feng to Tang Yiming, who was beside him.
The immense pressure instantly made Tang Yiming feel like he was facing a giant like Jiang Yi.
"From today onwards, you shall cultivate in the Demonic God Palace and focus on practicing martial arts," Chen Luoyang said plainly.
Tang Yiming closed his eyes in pain and kowtowed to the ground. "… I will obey the Hierarch's order."
"The position of Basaltic Temple's First Seat will be taken over by Su Wei," Chen Luoyang shifted his gaze from Tang Yiming, "Su Ye will be the Black Tortoise."
Su Wei, who had dark circles under his eyes, stepped out of the ranks and bowed. "I will obey the Hierarch's order. I thank the Hierarch for his great kindness."
Su Ye put down the God Punishing Edge and the Sin Demon Armor and retreated to stand beside her brother. She smiled and bowed. "Yes, Senior Brother."
Most of the people in the Basaltic Temple were Tang Yiming's trusted aides. They were silent as they looked at Tang Yiming and Peng Feng.
Originally, the Black Tortoise did not dare to ask what would happen to him.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They would thank the heavens if they could move back by one position and not be purged.
They hoped that the Black Tortoise One would become the Black Tortoise Two, the Black Tortoise Two would become the Black Tortoise Three, and the Black Tortoise Three would become the Black Tortoise Four. Black Tortoise Four would take over Chief Su's Black Tortoise Five position.
What bothered them the most was that this might be an extravagant hope.
After all, Chen Luoyang had other trusted aides.
As for whether there would be chaos in the Basaltic Temple, not to mention Chen Luoyang, even Tang Yiming was not worried.
Su Wei had been keeping a low profile for the past year. He had observed the Ancient God of the Mortal World inside and out. He had been preparing for this day.
As for Su Ye, because of Chen Luoyang's deliberate control, he rarely sparred with the people in the sect. Most people had a limited understanding of his cultivation realm.
He had only broken through not long before the trip to the Connate Tomb.
However, after watching Zhang Tie pick up the God-punishing Edge and the Sin Demon Armor, all the people of Ancient God Church in the palace took in a deep breath.
The two great treasures of the Ancient God were extremely fierce. Those below the Martial Saint realm could not come into contact with them.
The fact that the young man with disheveled hair was safe and sound proved his strength.
Martial Saint!
With his usual fierceness, his strength was definitely not something an ordinary sixteenth level Martial Saint could compare to.
Chen Luoyang had forged an extremely fierce and sharp demonic spear as he wished.
Everyone had long heard that the Su brothers were such a pair in the Divine Land. They were in charge of the Basaltic Temple of the Ancient God of the Divine Land. Now, all of this was happening again in the Mortal World.
Everyone's thoughts were wavering. Chen Luoyang's expression was calm, and his tone was flat, "The seat of the White Tiger Hall's First Seat has always been vacant. Today, Xie Buxiu will fill it."
Hearing this, the hearts of everyone in the sect moved slightly.
This appointment was not unexpected.
Previously, the White Tiger Hall's First Seat had always been vacant. Elder Du Qiming had been in the White Tiger Hall for a long time.
Now that Chen Luoyang had promoted his trusted aide, Xie Buxiu was familiar with the process. It was only natural that he would fill the vacant seat of the White Tiger Hall's First Seat.
However, according to the convention of the Ancient God, except for the Basaltic Temple's First Seat, the other three First Seats had to at least reach the sixteenth level Martial Saint Realm.
If it was not that Chen Luoyang wanted to use his authority to suppress everyone, then it meant that Xie Buxiu's cultivation was already enough to convince everyone …
Just as everyone was thinking about this, they saw Xie Buxiu step forward and bow to Chen Luoyang, "I will obey the Hierarch's decree. Thank you, Hierarch, for your great kindness."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to spread his aura.
It was a bit rude to do so in front of the Hierarch, but no one looked into it.
Silence, everyone felt the change and thought to themselves, "As expected."
Xie Buxiu had also transcended mortality and entered sainthood.
Quite a few people suddenly realized that other than Chen Luoyang himself suppressing the crowd of heroes, his Jiaozhu position was indisputable, the people under his command, his trusted subordinates, had also established themselves.
Speaking of which, ever since the boy named Zhang Tianheng came to the mortal world and entered the Demonic God Palace to cultivate the Demonic God Blood, his cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds.
Although he was still in the Demonic God Palace, he would definitely be sent out in the future.
He used to be in the Divine Land, and the Ancient God Palace was in the White Tiger Hall. In the future, he might take over Xie Buxiu's position.
Little Xie himself was looking forward to the arrival of that day.
After all, the task of the White Tiger Hall was too troublesome to offend people …
"Blue Dragon Two, enter the Demonic God Palace to cultivate," Chen Luoyang already had a plan in mind, so he made the arrangements freely, "Ning Jiuwei, Blue Dragon Two."
Ning Jiuwei immediately stepped forward and bowed, "I will obey the Hierarch's decree. Thank you, Hierarch, for your great kindness."
Blue Dragon Two also did the same thing.
Some people in the hall stole glances at the Blue Dragon Hall's First Seat, Lian Buyi.
For a long time, Lian Buyi had been a little embarrassed in the Ancient God Palace.
As the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Ancient God Palace before Chen Luoyang came to the mortal world, Lian Buyi stayed in the Demonic God Palace all year round and was not put in an important position.
She was the disciple of the "Setting Sun King" Zheng Chi and had never been a direct disciple of Jiang Yi.
And the previous First Seat of Blue Dragon Hall was Jiang Yi's direct disciple, Lin Yan.
After Lin Yan's death, Lian Buyi took over the position of Blue Dragon Hall's First Seat. To control the Blue Dragon Hall as if it was his own arm, the difficulty could be imagined.
Fortunately, in the process of quelling Zheng Chi's internal strife, Blue Dragon Hall was the main force. Taking advantage of the opportunity to fight outside, Lian Buyi used both carrot and stick to finally reconcile the people of Blue Dragon Hall.
In that battle, everyone was surprised to find that the relationship between the master and disciple, Zheng Chi and Lian Buyi, was not harmonious.
On the contrary, she and Hierarch Jiang seemed to have a tacit understanding.
This was also one of the reasons why she could gradually smooth out the personnel of Blue Dragon Hall.
As a result, just as she had gained something, Chen Luoyang stepped in. First Seat Lian was going to have a headache again.
However, at this moment, it seemed that Lian Buyi was calm and indifferent, not feeling anything.
On the contrary, the First Seat of Rosefinch Hall, Hong Biao, felt faintly uneasy.
Although he had decisively surrendered, he had never felt good enough to think that he could get through this safely. He just didn't know what Chen Luoyang was planning.
Although his control of Rosefinch Hall was not as good as Lian Buyi's control of Blue Dragon Hall, if Chen Luoyang didn't place a trusted aide in Rosefinch Hall, then he would probably move against him, the First Seat of Rosefinch Hall …
Hong Biao was uneasy, but Chen Luoyang seemed to have really forgotten about Rosefinch Hall. He just calmly waved his hand and said, "Elder Gao and First Seat Lian stay. The rest of you can leave. In troubled times, everyone should work hard."
"Yes, Hierarch." Hearing this, everyone hurriedly bowed and left.
