“There’s no need to be so polite!” Qin Chen smiled and raised his hand to help Ling Ran up.

He was very happy for Ling Ran. Now that she had upgraded her physique to the Zixia divine body, her cultivation speed would definitely increase greatly in the future. With his guidance, he believed that it would not be long before Ling Ran would break through to the Sage realm.

At that time, the Taiyi Holy Land would have a Sage guarding it. Even if he wasn’t around, he wouldn’t have to worry about his sect being harassed by the ten thousand ancient races.

Although the battle had ended with Qin Chen killing two Sage Kings from the netherworld race, the Taiyi Holy Land had also suffered significant losses. Apart from the great emperor’s palace, most of the buildings in the Holy Land were damaged. Most of the disciples and grand elders were also injured.

Therefore, on the second day, Ling Ran announced that all disciples should return to the sect, and they would close the gates to rest and recuperate.

Qin Chen didn’t stay idle either. He refined the blood energy of the Sage Kings into pills and gave them to Ling Ran, then began to refine the Sage King sources in seclusion.

With these blood energy pills, many of the Taiyi Holy Land’s grand elders who were at the peak of the Liuhe realm took this opportunity to break through to become Qiyao Kings.

In just three months, the strength of the Taiyi Holy Land skyrocketed. It now had more than a dozen Kings, which was comparable to the four immortal divine dynasties.

On this day, Ling Ran announced that the Taiyi Holy Land would reopen its gates, and all the major human forces came to visit.

There were the Holy Lords of Holy Lands, Imperial Princes of imperial dynasties, and grand elders of aristocratic families. They were all dictators of their regions. When they saw more than a dozen Kings of the Taiyi Holy Land gathered in the hall, they were all shocked as they thought to themselves, “The Taiyi Holy Land has risen.”

At the same time, the Supreme Sage of the roc imperial clan suddenly issued a statement. He reneged on the previous agreement of the East Land’s All Races Gathering and wanted to hold a Myriad Races Gathering to renegotiate with the human race.

Moreover, the Supreme Sage had requested that the human Elder King head to the roc imperial clan and apologize for his sins. Otherwise, he would bring the ancient imperial weapon to suppress the Taiyi Holy Land.

Once the news was out, the world was shocked.

The ten thousand ancient races were all excited. They had been nursing their grievances for a long time because of the human race’s Elder King. Now that the roc imperial clan had stepped out to speak, they were all very happy.

“Hahaha! The roc imperial clan has already begun their reckoning. How much longer does the human Elder King have to live?”

“Hmph, the human race has provoked the ten thousand ancient races time and time again. I’m afraid they’ve forgotten that they were just ants beneath the feet of the ten thousand ancient races in the primordial era.”

“The nine great imperial clans will all be present for the Myriad Race Gathering. At that time, the human race will be exterminated.”

“Now that the ten thousand ancient races have revived, it’s time for the human race to leave center stage. The Canglan Continent will ultimately be ruled by the ten thousand ancient races.”

The various races of the ten thousand ancient races all spoke out against the human race. All of them wanted to destroy the human race and restore the glory of the primordial era.

However, since the human race had produced so many ancient great emperors, they naturally had pride. How could they allow the ten thousand ancient races to clamor?

Among the human race, a Supreme Sage from an immortal divine dynasty replied, saying that the humans would naturally head to the Myriad Races Gathering.

However, before the day of the Myriad Races Gathering arrived, Supreme Sage Peng Zhen of the roc imperial clan spoke again. His voice pierced the nine Heavens and was accompanied by the great path. All living beings on the Canglan Continent could hear him, “Elder King of the human race, if you don’t come to my race to admit your guilt in seven days, I will personally visit the Taiyi Holy Land!”

On this day, the entire Taiyi Holy Land was not peaceful. Everyone was on tenterhooks.

Some disciples who were afraid of death even chose to leave the sect and run for their lives.

Ling Ran came out of her secluded cultivation that day and called all the grand elders of the Taiyi Holy Land over.

“Holy master, the one who made the statement this time is the roc imperial clan’s Supreme Sage. No matter how invincible the Elder King is, he can’t possibly be the opponent of Supreme Sage Peng Zhen!”

“Nonsense, so what if the opponent is a Supreme Sage? Are there no Supreme Sages in the human race? So what if the opponent is a member of the roc imperial clan? The Taiyi Holy Land and the Great Qin Dynasty are allies.”

“The ten thousand ancient races have nine great ancient imperial clans, and each of them has a Supreme Sage. If they join forces, how can the human race stop them? In my opinion, it’s better to disperse the disciples and disband the sect.”

“Bastard! The Taiyi Holy Land has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. How can we disband just because you said so? If you’re afraid, you can run for your life yourself!”

In the hall, all the grand elders argued endlessly. Some newly promoted grand elders advocated for the disbandment of the sect, and they argued with the older grand elders till everyone’s faces were flushed.

Lu Feng, who was the Vice Holy Lord, couldn’t mediate the situation either because he was only in the Qiyao realm, the same as the grand elders. He couldn’t convince the masses.

When Ling Ran saw this, the expression on her beautiful face turned gloomy slightly. She did not expect that a grand elder would propose to dismiss the sect. This made her furious.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to berate the other party, the Elder King suddenly appeared in the main hall.

Qin Chen’s body was surrounded by the great path, and he exuded waves of Sagely might as he sat in the hall, which made the few people who were quarreling shut up. The group of grand elders all kowtowed and said, “Greetings, Elder King!”

“What’s with all the noise?” Qin Chen said in a low voice. He was not angry, but his voice was authoritative. The new grand elder who had participated in the quarrel just now knelt on the ground and trembled. He did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the Elder King would blame him.

“Elder King, the roc imperial clan…” Ling Ran was just about to tell Qin Chen that Supreme Sage Peng Zhen wanted him to go and apologize for his offense. However, she was interrupted by Qin Chen with a wave of his hand.

Qin Chen’s eyes were deep as he sat high in the main hall with a terrifying aura. He said in a deep voice, “A mere roc imperial clan is enough to scare you all out of your wits, and you even propose to disband the sect? Who gave you the guts to do so?”

A terrifying Sagely might filled the entire hall. The newly promoted grand elders who wanted to disband the sect all groaned and coughed out a mouthful of blood. They knelt on the ground with pale faces and didn’t dare to say another word.

“Elder King, I will personally deal with these people. However, how should we deal with the matter of the roc imperial clan wanting you to head over and apologize?” Ling Ran asked. After all, this involved the ancient imperial clans and a Supreme Sage. It was only a given that the Elder King was the sole person who could make the decision.

Qin Chen squinted and smiled, “He wants me to go and apologize? Are they even worthy? Spread the word that I’ll personally go to the roc imperial clan in five days.”

“Elder King, what do you intend to do?” Ling Ran was puzzled. She did not understand what Elder King’s intention was. Was he really going to apologize? But this was not the Elder King’s style! Could it be…

Ling Ran’s pupils dilated, and she was shocked. She did not dare to think of that possibility. After all, that was the ancient imperial clan, which had Supreme Sages and ancient imperial weapons! If the Elder King were to do what she thought he was going to do, all the living beings in the Canglan Continent would be shocked!

“Just spread the word, you don’t have to worry about anything else,” Qin Chen snorted. After saying that, he took a step in the air and disappeared, leaving only his Sagely might behind.

It didn’t take long for the Taiyi Holy Land to announce that Elder King would pay a visit to the roc Imperial clan in a few days.

Once the news was out, the entire human race was shocked and all of them questioned his choice.

“What’s wrong with the Elder King? Is he going to submit to the ten thousand ancient races?”

“The opponent is an ancient imperial clan, after all. Even the invincible Elder King has surrendered.”

“I don’t believe it. It must be a mistake. How could the Elder King yield?”

“Even the invincible Elder King has surrendered. The future of the human race is bleak!”
