Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Will It Be Too Late to Notify the Eldest Senior Brother Now? (Happy New Year)
Within Yun State.
Several days later, the inheritance ceremony for the Sect Leader of the Yin Yang Array Sect was ready to commence.
Zhang Han’s orders left little time for preparations, and everything was hastily started.
It seemed he was worried that inviting people to attend the ceremony for him to inherit the leadership of the Yin Yang Array Sect might not draw many attendees, leading to embarrassment, so he opted for a swift start.
At this moment, the Suspended Island that housed the Yin Yang Array Sect was bedecked with lights and decorations.
Patterns of formations spread throughout the void.
These formations echoed each other in sequence, each intricately connected; although they were distinct, they could be seamlessly connected in a masterful design.
And above this Suspended Island, there loomed a massive formation that enveloped the entire island.
The formation radiated fluorescent light, and looking up, it seemed as if the island were always basked in the radiance of Taiyin Star, with numerous ancient Formation Patterns floating around it, profoundly awe-inspiring.
All these were obviously prepared by Zhang Han.
The purpose was to display the current strength of their Yin Yang Array Sect and to deter any petty forces.
And indeed, Zhang Han’s goal had been achieved.
Outside the Suspended Island of the Yin Yang Array Sect.
Many from Yun State’s local forces were shocked as they beheld the island, transformed as if reborn, and they couldn’t snap back to reality for a long time.
“This… this… is this still the Yin Yang Array Sect?”
“Haven’t you heard? A disciple from the Wayless Sect has taken over the Yin Yang Array Sect. Now, with the backing of the Wayless Sect, you’d better discard any petty schemes you had before, lest you bring disaster upon yourself.”
“So, they invited us here to flex their muscles?”
“If they want to show off, you just watch with wide eyes. The chaos in Yun State should also come to an end. With Lord Zhang Han in charge, it might not be a bad thing.”
“Indeed, just look at neighboring East State. How strong has it become under the leadership of Taiyi Sword Honor? They’re practically toying with our Yun State.”
“Can’t you watch your words? What do you mean ‘toying with’? Are they even on the same level? East State could probably send a fraction of their power to flatten our Yun State with ease…”
Instantly, these forces understood the gap between them.
This realization not only shocked them but also swiftly extinguished their ambitions.
It instilled in them the notion that they dared not defy this ‘new Holy Land’.
While these force members were busy imagining things.
Sudden ripples spread from afar.
The many forces instinctively looked up.
They saw a colossal broadsword flying in from the west, carrying dozens of people.
The moment the broadsword appeared.
A voice thundered through the sky.
“The Sect Leader of Heaven Sword Gate from the Holy Land of Jing State, along with numerous disciples, has come to congratulate Daoist Zhang on becoming the master of a Holy Land!!”
Upon hearing this, the pupils of everyone from Yun State forces sharply contracted.
Being among the top forces within Yun State, of course, they knew about the powerful states on the Divinity Continent.
Yun State was considered the bottom rung, whereas Jing State was different.
Jing State was among the front runners of the Eighty-two Provinces on the Divinity Continent.
The fact that a Holy Land from such a powerful province had also come to congratulate Zhang Han of the Wayless Sect…
They were merely forces from an obscure, small province and had no idea of the vast influence of the Wayless Sect.
In the midst of the shock among the crowd.
There was a continual arrival of people flying in from the distance, or rather, entire forces were arriving by flight.
Some were aboard huge flying ships, others rode on giant birds, and there were various methods, nothing out of the ordinary.
But the backgrounds of these forces were each more significant than the last.
“The Sect Leader of the Qi Ling Sect from the Holy Land of Ling State has arrived to congratulate Daoist Zhang…”
“Gui Ling Sect from the Central Continent Holy Land has come to congratulate Daoist Zhang…”
“Central Continent Holy Land…”
The names of one Holy Land after another were revealed.
The people from the various forces in Yun State were startled to discover that almost all the newcomers were from the Holy Lands.
In their presence, those from the sects seemed rather insignificant…
Many exchanged glances, feeling somewhat embarrassed. They were all contemplating whether they should leave now and pay a visit to Zhang Han on another day.
As for their previous ambitions?
They unanimously decided to forget about them.
After all, they already feared the Wayless Sect, and now having witnessed the terrifying power of Zhang Han, it would be odd if they dared to harbor any ambitions.
The crowd hesitated to leave first.
They felt out of place here.
But just then,
the Taiyin Star above the Suspended Island suddenly burst into a glow, casting beams of light.
These beams of light all shone down to the ground, rapidly transforming into a massive and crystalline staircase.
A warm voice followed with the descent of the staircase.
“Everyone, please ascend the staircase.”
Upon hearing this,
the people from Yun State could no longer hesitate. With gritted teeth, pretending not to see those from the Holy Lands, they stepped onto the staircase and headed towards the island above.
Observers from other Holy Lands watched these people but didn’t say much. Instead, they cooperatively retracted their mounts and flying objects and ascended the staircase to the Suspended Island.
…
On the island,
in the conference hall,
Zhang Han sat on his throne, and when he heard that so many forces had come to congratulate him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he had no idea about the extent of his influence beforehand.
Thus, he had no confidence in how many forces would be willing to come.
But now, he was reassured.
Zhang Han was just about to stand up and attend the ceremony when he paused abruptly in mid-stride.
Something was not right.
It seemed that he hadn’t heard any word from the Taiyi Sword Sect. Hadn’t he personally sent someone to invite his senior brother from that sect? Could his senior brother really be giving him the cold shoulder?
Zhang Han felt helpless all of a sudden.
It seemed that he had bragged in front of those Elders that the Taiyi Sword Sect would surely come.
But now, his senior brother hadn’t shown up. Instead, a whole bunch of other forces had, which was quite embarrassing.
Would it be too late to notify his senior brother now?
East State was so far from Yun State; it would definitely be too late…
Zhang Han felt awkward, glancing around the hall, relieved to find that no one else was there.
“What should I do?”
Zhang Han frowned, trying to think of a way to avoid embarrassment.
But no matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t come up with a solution.
After a moment of silence, he steeled his heart and decided not to bother anymore.
If he acted as if nothing had happened, surely no one would bring up the matter.@@novelbin@@
It’s not likely anyone would cling to this issue.
They probably wouldn’t.
With this thought, Zhang Han nodded to himself.
Then, he stopped overthinking and stood up, looking towards the door of the hall as he prepared to leave.
As he took a step forward, beams of light from the Taiyin Star in the sky shone down on him, forming patterns and swirling under his feet, lifting him into the air. He flew towards the site where the ceremony was being held.
