Chapter 667
“Where is the Pavilion Master?”
“Where are the others?”
Elder Li Yinglian asked gravely, “Could it be that they don’t know I’ve emerged from seclusion? Why haven’t they come to greet me yet?”
Upon hearing this, the few elders shivered and avoided eye contact, not daring to speak.
“Hm?”
Li Yinglian sensed something was off and immediately frowned.
A wave of pressure emanated from him as he waved his hand, grabbing one of the elders.
“Tell me, what exactly is going on?”
“Please calm down, Ancestor! The sect leader and the other elites have already left the sect.” The elder responded in panic.
“Left? Why would so many people leave the sect all at once?”
“Has there been a sect war?”
Li Yinglian demanded.
“No, not that.”
The elder knelt on the ground, his eyes darting around as he said, “They... they went to seek a master!”
“Seek a master?”
Li Yinglian frowned and barked, “What master?”
“Reporting to the Ancestor, it’s because another Eighth-Grade Array Master has appeared within the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent. This Array Master’s emergence has shaken the entire continent. Not only the sect leader, but all the major powers and young talents across the continent have rushed over.”
The few elders stammered.
“Hmph, nonsense!”
Upon hearing this, Li Yinglian’s hand slammed down, reducing the nearby table to dust.
And having an Eighth-Grade Array Master like himself personally teaching would undoubtedly attract countless young talents from the continent.
However, he was mistaken.
He lectured in the Dao Enlightenment Hall for half a month.
Yet, the number of people who came to listen was pitifully small. Occasionally, a few stragglers would appear, individuals so obscure that no one had even heard of them.
“Hmph!”
Li Yinglian was furious.
“Where are the people?”
“The Heavenly Array Immortal Continent is vast, with countless prodigies. Why, when I emerge from seclusion, do so few come?”
As he spoke, his sharp gaze fell upon those below him.
“Do you know the importance of this for the future of the Heavenly Array Pavilion? Have you been negligent and not spread the news properly?”
“We dare not, Ancestor!”
Those below all knelt down, panicked.
“Then why is no one coming?” Li Yinglian demanded.
Sect Leader Yun Guang, unable to hold back, explained timidly, “Reporting to the Ancestor, although the news of your emergence has been spread, right now everyone in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent is gathered in Tianlun City. Some might not have received the news, and others are likely still pondering how to approach that other Eighth-Grade Array Master!”
“So it can only be said that the timing of your emergence is... not ideal.”
“Not ideal?”
“Hmph!”
“I have roamed the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent for ten thousand years. I entered the ranks at ten, reached the Fourth Grade by a hundred, and a thousand years ago I was already an Eighth-Grade Array Master. Do you think I can’t match a mere upstart?”
Li Yinglian stood up, his voice thundering, “I refuse to believe that with my reputation, I can’t suppress this newcomer!”
