Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 557 - Liu Fang's Syndicate
Seeing Zhang En's indifferent expression, Yi Long once again lowered his head dejectedly. These years, he had become less able to understand Xen Hu who had changed a lot in various ways.
Yi Long felt the Xen Hu he knew had become even more arrogant than before, it was to the point where he did not even place the Earth King who had had had his subordinates hunt him down and did not place him in his eyes.
"In fact, Big Brother Xen is now ignoring that Shinshin-like beauty.!" Yi Long said inwardly
"What are you thinking?" Zhang En's voice resuscitated Yi Long, "Let's go in."
Yi Long was awakened from his daydream. Together with Zhang En and the other fellow disciples, they walked towards the front courtyard of the palace hall.
The courtyard of the sect palace was large enough to accommodate nearly tens of thousands of people. Whereas the main hall realm was mostly occupied by Ancestors, Patriarchs, Elders, and core disciples of other large clans.
Having become the sect elder, Xen Hu aka Zhang En was qualified to enter inside the main hall. Whereas Yi Long and the others, however, could only stay outside in the palace grounds since they were still elite disciples.
Entering the main hall, an extremely powerful fire force enveloped Zhang En.
Zhang En then looked around. Above the main hall, many bright red-colored crystal stones resembling diamonds were hung there, and the powerful fire power was from the red crystals hanging there.
Zhang En did not imagine this Phoenix Sect would be so generous, taking out so many of these chrysanthemums to nurture the qi of the experts present in the main hall.
Zhang En's divine sense swept across the fire crystal and counted nearly ten thousand in number.
"Sister Xen, it turns out you're here!"
While Zhang En was observing the main hall in detail, a cheerful voice sounded up close.
Zhang En turned his head and saw Jin Wu walking towards him.
Jin Wu looked very happy to see Zhang En, laughing as he said, "Come, I'll take you to Master's place."
Jin Wu led Zhang En to a corner of the hall where Master Lu was. Not only was Elder Lu there, Hong Fen was there as well.
Although Elder Lu had been a sect elder for a long time, in front of the Patriarchs and Patriarchs of the great clans and sects present in the main hall, his seat could only be placed in the corner of the main hall.
Zhang En nodded and complied.
Hong Fen's attitude remained indifferent and indifferent towards Zhang En, but Zhang En did not mind his attitude and sat down next to Jin Wu as Elder Lu had instructed.
Right now, Jin Wu was in high spirits, showing the legendary figures present in the hall to Zhang En nonstop.
Zhang En listened attentively for the time being, looking at where Jin Wu was each time pointing since there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Moments later, the noisy hall had suddenly become quiet as a group of people walked into the hall through the main entrance.
In front of the group was the Phoenix Sect Master, Guo Fei. Behind the mster of the Guo sect was Liu Fang, as well as the two Vice Grand Elders of the sect. The other ranks were Master Gao's remaining disciples and the other two Great Elders disciples.
When Guo Fei arrived, everyone in the hall stood up to welcome the arrival of their group.
Guo Fei and Liu Fang nodded to the few Patriarchs and Patriarchs who had been present, exchanging greetings and laughing as they greeted each other.
When they reached the center of the hall, Guo Fei, Liu Fang, and the rest of the group sat down, as well as the others.
A while later, Guo Fei stood up, followed by Liu Fang, and each of them made a short speech.
After which, wine and food were served, while Guo Fei and Liu Fang toured the hall carrying their wine cups, toasting with many Ancestors, Patriarchs, and Sect Masters from the other sects.
In the middle of the banquet, an old man stood up, smiling at Liu Fang, “Now Elder Liu has broken through to the Golden Realm, at the Heavenly Battle Tournament which is soon held fifty more years, and then at the Golden Realm, the first position will definitely belong to Elder Liu Fang! At that time when Elder Liu Fang is the first champion in that tournament, all the powers that exist in our Phoenix Galaxy will also feel happy.!”
Liu Fang then laughed out loud replying, “Then I will borrow the words of Patriarch Rui's fortune. When I win the first champion in the Heavenly Battle Tournament, there will be another banquet here!”
The ancestors and patriarchs of the other clans also stood up with smiling faces, “Although Ming Zhi of the Heavenly Dragon Sect has obtained the Dragon Flame, as long as he has not broken through to the realm of the Golden God Realm, he would not be an opponent of Elder Liu at the time of that battle!”
“Oh yes. I also heard that Zhang En of the Fire Spirit Sect will also participate in the upcoming Heavenly Battle Tournament.” One of the patriarchs present suddenly mentioned about Zhang En.
Hearing this, Liu Fang smiled insinuatingly, as if unconcernedly replying, “If in terms of talent, indeed, nothing can compare to Zhang En. But, in the tournament as the battle progressed, it depended on one's strength and not on talent. That Zhang En's cultivation wasn't even at the Heavenly God Realm, if he had really participated back then, it was, I'm afraid to say that he won't even make it to the top hundred ranking list. That Zhang En is not even worthy of being my opponent unless he cultivates for several thousand more years.”
