To Be Celestial's Emperor II
16/30
A total of 4 other leaders from the plains were present at the event. They were each the leader of their plains as well as the main force of the plains they led. Among the four of them was only the young man who called Zheng Cho as a sodara who had the power of Advanced Wise aside from that all of them were only True Wise like Zheng Cho.
The party was running lively until a high elder from the central palace reported to Frander that the Main Island's entourage of elders had come to see Zheng Cho. Previously, Zheng Cho had given Frander the post of the Main Guard of the Bandit Desert Plains, such a position was almost on par with him.
Therefore Frander no longer harbors jealousy and envy of Frander and carries out his duties well. When the event began, Frander along with the other elders guarded the plains to the maximum, he was worried that the main island elders who had been their guarantors had come and were offended that they no longer needed them.
Just what Frander was worried about came, the elder now along with his followers came to Zheng Cho's event. Frander swiftly came and welcomed the elder accompanied by his 5 followers.
“I heard Zheng Cho hold an event for his success of becoming a True Wisdom cultivator but why wasn't I invited?”
Frander smiled wryly trying to answer, “Actually we want to hold a special event for elders who have accompanied the Bandit Desert plains for many years therefore we did not invite elders”
“Hmph! I was even surprised to see you so submissive to Zheng Cho right now. You do not need to make a special event for me because today has arrived”
Hearing the elder's words, Frander was no longer able to twitch. He resignedly guided the elder and his 5 followers to the Zheng Cho event. Not forgetting he sent a message to Zheng Cho to prepare.
Zheng Cho who was currently hosting his four guests was surprised to find a message from Frander. He immediately told the four that the elder was coming soon. He also sent a message to the five elders of the 9th layer of the Shadow Thief sect.
Zhen Yuan who had just arrived at the event hall immediately got a welcome from Zheng Cho. Zheng Cho's originally panicked face now eased to see Zhen Yuan coming.
“Master, you're finally out. I can't reach you and your entire group during these 6 months” he said worriedly.
Zhen Yuan explained forgetting to tell Zheng Cho if he and his group entered closed cultivation. Then, Zhen Yuan glanced at the four people behind Zheng Cho. “Who are they?”
Zheng Cho also introduced the four of them to Zhen Yuan and said that Zhen Yuan was a 5th class Master in the Pill field and was the one who gave him the Thunder Armor Pill to make it easier for Zheng Cho to get through the heavenly tribulation.
The four of them were astonished to know Zhen Yuan's identity, they immediately saluted while flattering Zhen Yuan. Wishing the young man also gave what Zheng Cho got. Yet Zhen Yuan only gave his smile as he felt concern for Zheng Cho at this moment.
The young man sensed something odd immediately asked, “What's wrong? Looks like something's bothering you”
Zheng Cho then explained if the elder was coming, he was afraid that his show would break down and their plan would fail. “If it's just an elder, me and the other four leaders will be able to deal with it. But I worry about the people behind it”
“Alright, I will try to help you” Zhen Yuan said. After all he had not tried to increase his strength after 6 months of cultivating. He could not wait to use his strength this time.
Before long, Frander arrived followed by 10 others behind. The one who walked in front of Frander was a middle-aged man like Zheng Cho wearing shiny green brocade. Zhen Yuan could easily tell that the middle-aged man was none other than the elder in question.
Among the 10 people Frander had brought in, the other 5 were elders owned by the Shadow Thief and the rest were definitely followers of the elder since Zhen Yuan was somewhat unfamiliar with them.
When the elder arrived, Zheng Cho and the four other leaders immediately saluted. Although the elder was only on par with a Wise Forward cultivator yet he was still an elder on the Main Island. His status was much higher than Wise cultivators in general. Therefore everyone, even the 5 sage cultivators of the plains leader had to show his respect.
In addition, the elder was one of the disciples owned by a Major Island Lieutenant who took care of 10 plains in the Wasted archipelago of which the Bandit Desert plains and 4 others were part of them. So that indirectly the elder is the superior of the five.
“Two please sit!” Frander had prepared another chair in line with the leaders of the plains. The atmosphere was a little awkward when he came, even the five of them no longer sent each other jokes and jokes made the event a quiet one.
