The awkward feeling in everyone's heart only lasted for a moment.
Although the young man in front of them was still a Martial Saint, he obviously couldn't be measured by the standard of a Martial Saint.
He single-handedly broke through the protective array of a Holy Land. No one could underestimate such majesty.
As he said, the Black Water Extreme Palace didn't have a big shot to protect it. It wasn't that the people in the palace didn't try their best, but that the opponent was too strong, beyond the limit of what they could bear.
However, most of the masters of the Black Water Extreme Palace still stood still.
Slowly, the old man who presided over the array said, "Hierarch Chen is a genius with extraordinary strength. I admire him. However, I have been studying in the Divine Palace since I was young. I really can't turn back to the Ancient God. I can only betray Hierarch Chen's kindness and become a martyr for the Divine Palace."
The rest of the people looked hesitant, but most of them stood still like the old man.
Chen Luoyang glanced at them. "You don't need to change your allegiance."
Everyone present was stunned.
Chen Luoyang said casually, "If you know what's good for you, the Black Water Extreme Palace won't be destroyed. It will only be more prosperous than before."
Hearing this, the others were thoughtful.
Some people suddenly understood. Everyone had focused on Chen Luoyang's identity as the Hierarch of the Ancient God.
Today, he came to the Black Water Extreme Palace with the people of the Ancient God, but failed to meet the "Demon Queen" Ji Tianqiong. So, he attacked the Black Water Extreme Palace. So, both sides regarded it as a war between two Holy Lands of the Demonic Path.
As a result, everyone overlooked Chen Luoyang's other identity.
The only direct disciple of the Mortal World Supreme.
As time went by, the previous speculation had gradually been recognized by many forces in the Mortal World. However, it hadn't been completely announced to the world and was limited to a small area.
The "Demon Emperor" Chen Luoyang was not only the new Hierarch of the Ancient God, but also the disciple of the Demon Venerable.
Although the legendary Master of the Red Dust had never given this disciple any authority, nor had he chosen a disciple to be his spokesperson, how could other people in the Red Dust not pay attention to Chen Luoyang?
To the people of Blackwater Extreme Palace, submitting to the Demon Lord's direct descendant and submitting to the Ancient God were two different concepts.
Of course, this was based on the fact that Chen Luoyang had destroyed the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
More and more Demon Palace cultivators began to waver.
The Blackwater Extreme Palace would not be devoured by the Ancient God. Instead, it could still stand on equal footing.
However, they needed a new leader.
The young man in front of him was going to become the new master of the Devil Palace.
Just like how he had replaced Jiang Yi in the Ancient God, he had replaced Ji Tianqiong and Ling Cang in the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
He was both the Hierarch of the Devil religion and the Palace Master of the Devil Palace.
The few Elders in the lead all had complicated expressions on their faces, remaining silent.
At the end of the day, the only choice left for them was to surrender.
However, submitting to Chen Luoyang was indeed easier than submitting to the Ancient God.
They were not completely deceiving themselves. Although the young man in front of them was only a Martial Saint, in the year since he had come to the Red Dust World, his rise had been too terrifying and shocking.
His future achievements were limitless. Just thinking about it made people feel dizzy.
With him as the leader, perhaps the Blackwater Extreme Palace would have better prospects in the future.
However, there were still many doubts about whether the Devil Palace's upper echelon experts would make up their minds.
Chen Luoyang had been laying the groundwork for a long time in the Ancient God. In the end, he had turned the tide and replaced the "derelict" former Hierarch Jiang Yi.
But he had no foundation in the Blackwater Extreme Palace. Suddenly appearing out of nowhere, everyone had their doubts.
Ji Tianqiong's disappearance had greatly disappointed the people of the Blackwater Extreme Palace. However, there were still some who hoped that perhaps Palace Master Ji had some hidden trouble.
If they surrendered now and the Demon Queen returned one day, what would they do?
Chen Luoyang might not fear the Demon Queen, but they didn't have the ability to do so.
Of course, the threat of the Demon Queen could be put aside for now.
After all, if they didn't surrender today, the Demon King would start a massacre.
And in the hearts of those who had sworn to live and die with the Blackwater Extreme Palace, they were loyal to the Blackwater Extreme Palace, not necessarily to a certain Palace Master.
So, what they were actually worried about was, would it really be beneficial for the Blackwater Extreme Palace to submit to Chen Luoyang?
Although it was said that they wouldn't be swallowed by the Ancient God, the Ancient God was still Chen Luoyang's old family. They were born in different places, and there were differences between them. After the Blackwater Extreme Palace submitted, it was like an adopted son.
In the long run, would they still face the fate of extinction?
After several Elders of the Blackwater Extreme Palace looked at each other for a long time, the leading old man sighed. "Everyone, make your own decision, but I still hope that you can put the Divine Palace first and try to preserve the vitality of the Divine Palace."
After saying that, he was the first to bow to Chen Luoyang. "Mr. Chen is broad-minded, and his words carry enormous weight. I, Wen Xinzhi, am willing to serve Mr. Chen as the Palace Master. I hope that Mr. Chen will be merciful and forgive the disciples of the Divine Palace."
As he bowed, a glow gathered in his hand, faintly forming many characters, which then turned into an illustration. He raised his hands over his head and presented it to Chen Luoyang.
When the other Elders of the Blackwater Extreme Palace saw this, their expressions changed. They subconsciously wanted to stop him, but they immediately stopped and sighed with a wry smile.
The Ancient God behind Chen Luoyang saw this and understood.
The chapter that Wen Xinzhi presented was the secret technique of the Blackwater Extreme Palace, expressing his intention to submit.
How could the new Palace Master not know the secret technique of the Blackwater Extreme Palace?
"Those who follow me will prosper."
Chen Luoyang said lightly. The black mist took away the glow in Wen Xinzhi's hand and looked at the other Elders of the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
The group of people looked at Wen Xinzhi, and their expressions changed from complicated to calm. Finally, they bowed to Chen Luoyang one after another.
"Greetings, Palace Master Chen!"
Ling Cang had fallen and Ji Tianqiong had been restored. Although there was no internal strife, it still affected the internal affairs of the Demon Palace. Ji Tianqiong currently lacked loyal supporters, so the transition to Chen Luoyang didn't cause much of a stir.
However, the Hierarch of the Devil Religion had become the Palace Master of the Demon Palace. It was definitely not something that could be done with just a title printed on a business card.
To truly control the Demon Palace, many people and things needed to be sorted out.
Everyone in the Blackwater Extreme Palace wanted to unify the Demon Palace, which involved many people.
Not to mention, as one of the Seven Holy Lands of the Demonic Path, the Blackwater Extreme Palace had more than one palace city.
There were many branches and all kinds of industries all over the world. There were also many sects and forces that had submitted to the Demon Palace.
The Demon Palace had changed masters, and it was such a sudden change that the entire northern border would be in chaos for a while.
"Rise."
Chen Luoyang looked at the people in front of him and nodded slightly.
Everyone stood up and passed the order to the other disciples in the palace. Then, they stood obediently and waited for the new Palace Master's next order.
They also wanted to see how the new Palace Master would give orders. This would allow them to judge the position of their Blackwater Extreme Palace in Chen Luoyang's heart.
The people of the Ancient God Palace followed behind Chen Luoyang with complicated feelings.
Su Ye was simply disappointed that she had lost the opportunity to do something big.
The others also suddenly realized that their Hierarch was not just the Hierarch of the Ancient God Palace.
However, as the place where Hierarch Chen came from, the Ancient God Palace must be different from other places, right?
The people of the Ancient God Palace were also curious about how Chen Luoyang would deal with the Blackwater Extreme Palace next. They wondered if he should transfer people from the sect to dismantle the Blackwater Extreme Palace.
Everyone's heart was in a mess.
But Chen Luoyang was still calm in the crowd. He stood in front of the black coffin with his hands behind his back and didn't speak. It seemed that his mind was wandering again.
He seemed to have forgotten about the new holy land that he had taken control of and didn't care about it anymore.
Everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
The war between the holy lands had always involved a lot of people.
This was a world where power belonged to the individual. The battle between the top experts would determine the direction of the situation to a certain extent.
But if a holy land lost its leader, it didn't necessarily mean that it would be destroyed immediately.
If someone wanted to attack and annex the holy land, they had to consider the other leaders' attitudes.
Under everyone's cooperation, the final result was unpredictable.
Chen Luoyang's success today was actually a surprise to everyone.
Strictly speaking, he and the Ancient God Palace hadn't expected this result.
It was rumored that the Devil Empress, who was in seclusion, had disappeared, and the Blackwater Extreme Palace had become an empty shell.
A visit had turned into a war that could destroy a country.
Many of the Blackwater Extreme Palace's middle and lower level disciples were still in a daze …
The outside world couldn't react at all.
When the other leaders and experts received the news, it was hard to say how they would react.
It was true that Chen Luoyang had conquered the Blackwater Extreme Palace, but it was another matter to stabilize it.
There was only one Ancient Formation of Emperor Xi. The headquarters of the Ancient God Palace and the Blackwater Extreme Palace were located in the north and south.
"Palace Lord, the inauguration ceremony needs some time to prepare. As for the guest list, do you think there is anything we should pay attention to?" Elder Wen looked at Palace Lord Chen, who seemed to be in a daze, and broke the silence.
"Just follow the rules." Chen Luoyang was still looking at the black coffin. He didn't turn around. "There's no need to rush. I will return before the ceremony begins."
Everyone in the hall was startled again.
"You're leaving now?"
"Not now, but in a few days." Chen Luoyang patted the black coffin and closed the lid. Then, the black fog enveloped it and swallowed it.
He waved his hand, and the Sorrowful Sea Demonic Pagoda and One Mind Manifestation reappeared in his hand. He studied them carefully.
The people of the Blackwater Extreme Palace looked at this scene and were speechless. For a moment, they felt that their future was becoming more and more unpredictable.
Everything that had happened here quickly spread throughout the world, causing the entire mortal world to be shaken.
Everyone was momentarily stunned. They didn't expect that after the Ancient God Palace, the Blackwater Extreme Palace would suffer the same fate as the Ancient God Palace.
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They joked about which family had a big shot in seclusion and quickly tried to find out if they were empty like Jiang Yi and Ji Tianqiong.
For example, Southern Chu.
"Calm down. What's with the mess?"
In the Southern Chu royal capital, the Old Prince Cheng Jiongting was troubled.
The others smiled bitterly. "Old Granduncle, what do you think happened to Jiang Yi and Ji Tianqiong?"
