Chapter 1691 Here it comes!
Chapter 1691 Here it comes!
With this shout, everyone's eyes turned to Mingchuan.
To his left was the Supreme Elder Ye Yan, with his white hair and beard and an air of otherworldly grace; to his right was the charming and alluring Vice Sect Master Jin Man.
After that, it was Leng Xi, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan.
The core members included Zhan Tang Elder Ji Zhou, Xun Shan Hu Fa A Xiong, Law Enforcement Elder Shi Guang Yang, and External Affairs Manager Meng Da Lang.
They were all full of energy and had a calm and focused aura. In particular, the powerful and harmonious energy fluctuations that emanated from them were different from ordinary spiritual energy and attracted attention.
Finally, there were hundreds of Wanchuan Sect disciples dressed in uniform, standing in neat rows, solemn and respectful. Although young, they had sharp eyes and strict discipline, showing the vigorous spirit and strong cohesion of a newly emerging sect!
The appearance of this team instantly stunned the entire audience!
Everyone was awestruck by the extraordinary aura they exuded!
This overwhelming sense of pressure was something that none of the previous sects had ever given them!
Su Hongzhen's eyes instantly darkened, and everyone from the Qingcheng Yufa Sect stared at them with sinister intent.
They all remembered that the previous Holy Son, Su Yuze, had died at his hands!
Now, not only have they failed to avenge themselves, but they have also brought this person to the Spirit Realm, where he has unknowingly gained such powerful strength and even established his own sect!
Furthermore, at first glance, everyone in their sect appears incredibly powerful!
Especially that Jizhou!
This kid had already gained a reputation in the Spirit Realm for his outstanding abilities when he was at Qingfeng Yumen.
Back then, he was not a threat to Qingfeng Yumen, but now, Jizhou is under Mingchuan's control!
Mingchuan's new sect has such a powerful lineup right from its opening!
Everyone's hearts sank. How could they possibly take revenge against such a powerful force? Was there even a chance for them?!
Thinking back to the two flames on Mingchuan's group earlier, he still couldn't see where Cang Ziang was.
And look at how good Jinman and Mingchuan's relationship is...
My long-held suspicions have finally been confirmed!
Cang Zi'ang is Ming Chuan, their long-time enemy of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect!
Mingchuan's gaze swept over the dark mass of people below, as well as the various forces floating in the air.
He noticed the hateful glances in the shadows, but he didn't pay them any attention.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips, and his voice, calm yet clear, resonated throughout every corner:
"We are honored to have fellow Daoists grace us with their presence at the founding ceremony of our Wanchuan Sect!"
"I, Mingchuan, hereby declare myself the Sect Master of the Wanchuan Sect. Today, I establish this sect in this void, with the aim of gathering all rivers, jointly comprehending the Great Dao, protecting all living beings, and cleansing away evil!"
"From this day forward, the Wanchuan Sect is officially established!"
The moment the words fell, the enormous spatial portal shone brightly, and the three ancient and magnificent characters "Wan Chuan Sect" on the lintel, seemingly formed from endless starlight, suddenly lit up, radiating a majestic Daoist aura that seemed to suppress all heavens!
At the same time, on both sides of the gate, waterfalls of ten thousand feet, formed from pure spiritual energy, cascaded down, with dragons and phoenixes dancing and strange phenomena appearing. There were also faint celestial sounds and Dao principles appearing and disappearing, making this sky look like a fairyland!
"Congratulations to the Wanchuan Sect for establishing the sect!"
After a brief silence, someone shouted first, and then a chorus of congratulations erupted from all directions!
Those forces and independent cultivators who had received favors from the Wanchuan Sect were the most sincere in their cries!
On the Qingfeng Yumen flying boat, Sect Leader Ye stroked his beard, smiled, and nodded slightly.
Ye Jingjing's face turned bright red with excitement as she waved her little hands vigorously.
Mingchuan took in the reactions from all sides, his smile unchanged, and announced loudly, "The ceremony is complete! Distinguished guests, please follow me into the sect for a tour!"
After saying that, Mingchuan turned around and made a "please" gesture. The huge spatial portal shone even brighter, as if welcoming guests from all directions!
However, just as the various forces were excited and curious, preparing to follow, a cold, sinister voice, like that of a venomous snake, shattered this brief harmony:
"Wait a minute!"
The sound came from the magnificent carriage of the Qingcheng Imperial Dharma Sect.
Su Hongzhen slowly stood up, stepped out of the carriage, and stood suspended in mid-air, his cold gaze shooting towards Mingchuan like a sharp arrow.
"Sect Master Mingchuan, what a grand display! What an impressive sect!"
Su Hongzhen's voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm, "However, I have a few questions in my mind that I must ask. I hope that Sect Master Ming can answer them for all fellow practitioners before welcoming guests!"
coming!
Everyone perked up, knowing the real show was about to begin. Su Hongzhen was determined not to let Wan Chuan Sect open its doors so easily.
Mingchuan stopped and slowly turned around, his face still bearing that calm smile, as if he had expected this. He looked at Su Hongzhen and said calmly, "Oh? What questions does Sect Leader Su have? Please speak freely. Today is the opening of my Wanchuan Sect, and we should be frank with you."
Su Hongzhen sneered, his voice suddenly rising and echoing throughout the entire hall: "First question! You, Mingchuan, originally of unknown identity, infiltrated my Qingcheng Yufa Sect, using the alias Cang Zi'ang, to gain my sect's trust, steal core resources and cultivation techniques, and even abducted my sect elder Jin Man to defect! How are such actions any different from those of a thief and a traitor?! How can a sect established by such a person gain the trust of the fellow cultivators of the Spirit Realm?!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Although many people had suspected it beforehand, Su Hongzhen's blunt revelation in public still caused a huge shock.
Countless gazes darted back and forth between Mingchuan and Su Hongzhen.
Faced with this sharp accusation, Mingchuan remained unfazed, instead letting out a light laugh, his tone tinged with mockery:
"Sect Leader Su, you are mistaken. First, I do not know anything about the Cang Zi'ang you are talking about. I only had a brief encounter with him when we fought before. All of this is just your sect's malicious speculation."
Secondly, Elder Jinman is the Vice Sect Master of my Wanchuan Sect. She joined voluntarily, based on her own will and agreement with our sect's ideals. How can there be any talk of abduction? Does Sect Master Su perhaps believe that all the heroes of the world are only fit to serve under your Qingcheng Yufa Sect?
"You...you're just making excuses!" Su Hongzhen was speechless for a moment, and his face turned even uglier.
He hadn't expected Mingchuan to be so sharp-tongued, avoiding the important issues and instead steer the conversation towards the sect's appeal.
"Second question!" Su Hongzhen suppressed his anger and continued his attack. He pointed at Ji Zhou and the others, "The spiritual energy fluctuations of these disciples of your sect are strange, unlike anything commonly seen in our Spirit Realm. They faintly possess spatial power, which is extremely malevolent! Could it be that you are cultivating some kind of evil or demonic art that is forbidden from this world? Otherwise, how can you explain this extraordinary power?!"
This is Su Hongzhen's real killer move!
Questioning the orthodoxy of a cultivation method is an extremely serious accusation in the cultivation world, enough to isolate or even annihilate a sect!
All eyes instantly focused on Jizhou, Axiong, and other disciples of the Battle Hall. Upon careful sensing, they indeed discovered that their auras were unique and completely different from the known major schools, which aroused their doubts.
