Chapter 1464 - Chapter 1464 Chapter 719 Letter from Ying City

Chapter 1464: Chapter 719: Letter from Ying City Chapter 1464: Chapter 719: Letter from Ying City As everyone rose for the ceremonial greeting, their attention was immediately captured by the Divine Jade in An Yuheng’s hand, some of whom lacked the willpower to look away.

However, the Son of Yuheng seemed to have no intention of putting away the jewel and merely swayed his wrist gently, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

After a few moments of silence, the Celestial Official, standing with his hands behind his back by the colonnades, signaled the Divine Guards, who then entered the hall and grabbed the arms of the still dazed guests.

The moment they were touched, these people finally snapped back to reality, and seeing the Divine Guards gripping their arms, they all angrily raised their invitation cards and shouted, “Who are you, let go at once, I am a guest invited by the Son of Yuheng!”

“Not anymore.”

After the armored guard’s muffled response, he threw everyone out of the Yaochi Temple.

“That’s more like it.”

Zhu Huolong, watching the now considerably emptier Yaochi Temple, nodded in satisfaction.

After those bewitched by the Divine Jade had been cleared out, An Yuheng smiled from his throne and said, “It seems the quality of attendees at this Immortal Sealing Platform Convention is quite good. I thought I’d only have half left.”

Apart from a few true disciples of Heaven Sect sitting at the very front, none of the others could muster a laugh at the Son of Yuheng’s joke.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop scaring you.”

An Yuheng leaned forward, resting his left elbow on his seated knee, and looked down at the guests in the temple, his right hand gently sweeping over the crowd. “I know what you all are thinking, but becoming a follower of a new god is not as simple as you imagine.”

“Just as the rumors had it, he is an unpredictable man.”

Zhu Huolong chuckled, then stood up and said with a smile, “The Heavenly Court’s seventy-three temples are rising, and the new god also needs protectors and preachers. Today, the grand hall of Yaochi is filled with the most outstanding talents of our generation. Are they not fitting to be followers of a new god?”

“Zhu Huolong, is it?”

An Yuheng studied the man who spoke first for a moment, then chuckled.

“Indeed, that is me.”

“I’ve heard about you, the forty-eighth true disciple of Wushen Mountain.”

Zhu Huolong was thrilled internally and was about to modestly demure when An Yuheng continued, leaving Zhu with an ashen face.

“But what difference is there between the forty-eighth true disciple and those waste disciples of the inner chambers?”

An Yuheng cocked his head, surveying the people in the grand hall of Yaochi, and asked with a smile, “Can you protect the way for a new god?”

“Since the Divine Son disdains us, why bother sending the invitations in the first place? Was it just to humiliate us?”

An Eclipse Sect true disciple stood up indignantly and confronted the man on the divine throne, while the other disciples of the Heaven Sect also wore expressions of unexpected displeasure and grim faces.

“Calm down, calm down.”

An Yuheng waved his hands in the air and said softly, “You are not worthy of being specially humiliated by this Divine Son. You all know very well that gathering a bunch of wastes will not elevate the sanctity of the new god’s temple.”

“Then what does the ‘new god’ consider worthy actions for becoming the protector of the temple?” asked Zhu Huolong.

“New legends rise, old legends fall, such is the immutable law.”

An Yuheng smiled, “Great changes are coming, and the new god is willing to give everyone a chance. What you need to do is prove your value. The protectors of the new god, bring forth the tokens of old legends!”

“The Divine Son means,” the Celestial Official explained, standing nearby, “to challenge the Dao Child of a sect, walk the sacred grounds, and vie with the legends of various places. Those who succeed can be the protectors of the new god!”

Upon hearing these conditions, everyone was astonished, as the requirements set by An Yuheng were unexpectedly harsh.

While the new generation of martial artists all considered themselves stronger, the difference in age was still there. If given a few more decades, they might indeed stand a chance, but now…

The disciples of Heaven Sect began calculating their odds of winning against the typical wandering disciples of a sect.

And among the unaffiliated cultivators with unusual backgrounds, some had particularly bold ideas.

“May I ask the Celestial Official, does this challenge have to be undertaken alone, or is it only the result that matters?”

The Celestial Official glanced at the inquirer and answered indifferently, “Only the token matters, not how it was obtained.”

“And what are the standards for these various legends?” another asked.

“Renowned fighters from the five great arenas, powerful figures famed throughout Xiehe, and chieftains of the bandits across the green paths could all count as legends.”

The crowd was taken aback, feeling that the difficulty of these challenges, particularly those involving the traveling sect disciples and Dao Children, seemed even greater.

Just as everyone eagerly continued their queries to the Celestial Official, An Yuheng suddenly interjected from his throne, “Let me give you a simpler target.”

“Right now in Longzhou, there is a major battlefield. If you can bring back the head of someone at the Sect Head level from the Longxi Alliance, that will count as a legendary token!”

Hmm?

The crowd exchanged looks, unsure of the name Longxi Alliance, which seemed oddly familiar yet was unknown to any specific clan until the Celestial Official explained, “It refers to the tribe where Longxi’s Pride, Tang Luo, resides, whose territory spans both banks of the Ling River in Dragon Province.”

With the mention of Longxi’s Pride, Tang Luo, the group finally understood where their sense of familiarity had stemmed from.

“Hunting high-ranking members of the Longxi tribe without any justified cause.”

Zhu Huolong spoke icily, “What does the Divine Son take us for?”

“Hunting the high-ranking members of the Longxi Alliance is not without cause.”

Seeing the displeased expressions on their faces, the Celestial Official quickly interjected and relayed the information that the Beast Taming Sect had dispersed throughout various regions to the people present.
