Emperor Haotian appeared.
"Come, follow me to meet the clan members!"
Then, he brought the four of them to a palace.
Though the mansion wasn’t large.
There was a world within it.
In essence, a world within a world.
A realm left by the ancestors of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.
Soon, the four passed through this world within a world and arrived at a palace.
At this moment, hundreds of people were gathered in the palace.
These people were the true essence of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.
"Great Elder, the people have been brought."
Emperor Haotian slightly cupped his hands towards an elder seated at the higher seat.
"Greetings to the Great Elder!"
Ling Chen and the other two quickly paid their respects.
"You’ve worked hard, Haotian!"
The Great Elder smiled slightly.
Then his gaze fell upon Ling Chen and the other two.
To be precise, his eyes only lingered on Li Qiushui and Li Changtian for a moment before shifting to Ling Chen.
Leaving aside Ling Chen’s talent.
The moment Ling Chen with his snow-white hair entered, he captivated everyone’s attention.
What’s more, Ling Chen possessed a first-class bloodline!
Among the young generation of the entire Green Lotus Ancient Clan, only three had such a bloodline.
Moreover, Ling Chen was the only one who could kill an emperor-level expert at the quasi-emperor realm!
As everyone scrutinized Ling Chen, he was also observing the clan members in the hall.
There were about a hundred people seated.
It was evident that those standing were mostly young people.
However, more than half were above the emperor realm.
Ling Chen couldn’t help but marvel.
This was the essence of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan!
In Qing Province, including hidden sects, there were only about nine emperor realm experts.
Yet, here they were everywhere.
There were even Great Emperor level cultivators.
"Ling Chen, where do you come from? Do you know who your mother is?"
The Great Elder asked with a smiling gaze.
"Qing Province; I don’t know my mother’s name."
Hearing this, the Great Elder was momentarily stunned, as if recalling something.
But quickly returned to normal.
"It seems your mother might be an outsider, and your bloodline has fortunately been awakened."
The Great Elder smiled.
Only descendants of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan have a chance to awaken the Green Lotus Bloodline.
Upon this, Emperor Haotian also let out a sigh of relief.
Ling Chen had indeed done as he said.
This meant his son Li Xuankong’s position as Young Clan Leader was almost secured.
The Great Elder stared at Ling Chen and said with a smile, "You are quite impressive. To have slain an emperor while being a quasi-emperor brings no shame to our clan!"
The events on the Immortal Platform had long been shared with the Great Elder by Emperor Haotian.
The eight elders beside the Great Elder also nodded in approval.
These eight were also elders.
The Green Lotus Ancient Clan had a total of ten elders.
Emperor Haotian was the tenth elder.
He was responsible for most clan affairs.
The other elders mostly spent their time in seclusion, striving for higher realms.
An uproar erupted in the hall.
Whether it was the seated stewards or the standing young clan members.
A quasi-emperor slaying an emperor!
This was unprecedented for thousands of years!
Among the crowd, a young man in a golden-threaded sleeves green robe had surprise written all over his face.
This person was Li Xuankong.
A candidate for Young Clan Leader.
He was also the only candidate currently.
Of course, he was an emperor-level expert, among the top in the young generation.
But even with his title as the most talented in a thousand years, he hadn’t achieved such a feat.
At the quasi-emperor level, his peak achievement was barely equaling a one-star emperor.
To slay an emperor was like reaching for the sky!
"Wow, this white-haired brother is amazing! Brother Xuan Kong, even you didn’t achieve this then!"
Beside Li Xuankong, a doll-like exquisite little girl with big twinkling eyes curiously observed Ling Chen.
Hearing this, Li Xuankong’s face turned dark.
"Kai Yan, don’t speak carelessly."
Li Qingkong hurriedly said.
Li Xuankong, Li Qingkong, and Li Kaiyan were the three young clan members with first-class bloodlines in the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.
The first two had entered the emperor realm, while Li Kaiyan was still at the king realm.
"I didn’t speak carelessly; it’s the truth!"
Li Kaiyan looked at Li Qingkong puzzled.
"Haha, Kai Yan didn’t speak nonsense. At least at the quasi-emperor level, Xuan Kong’s performance was indeed inferior to Ling Chen."
The Great Elder laughed.
With the Great Elder backing her up, Li Kaiyan proudly glanced at Li Qingkong.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward.
"Great Elder, you overpraise me. I was just lucky to kill that emperor."
Ling Chen said modestly.
Having just entered the clan, he didn’t want to create any enemies.
Though he had no intention of relying on the Green Lotus Ancient Clan’s cultivation resources.
He was here for the Green Lotus Sword Manual and his mother.
At this moment, he even sensed the hidden animosity in Li Xuankong’s eyes.
Judging by his strength, now was definitely not the time to confront him.
This Li Xuankong was evidently a very powerful emperor-level expert.
The Ye Jingyu he had slain was no match for this one.
"Luck is also part of strength!"
The Great Elder’s expression showed deeper satisfaction.
Not arrogant or impatient, excellent!
Then, the Great Elder’s expression turned solemn, "Everyone, the emperor Ling Chen slew was a Demon Sect Cultivator. So, all of you, cultivate diligently!"
"Demon Sect Cultivator?"
"Is the Demon Sect reviving again?"
Upon hearing this, everyone changed color.
It seemed the Demon Sect was indeed quite terrifying.
Watching this, Ling Chen felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Originally, he had no good impression of Demon Sect Cultivators.
But seeing even the powerful Green Lotus Ancient Clan so fearful, one could imagine how terrifying the Demon Sect was.
Looks like he has to be even more cautious in the future!
"Ling Chen, you carry the Green Lotus Bloodline, thus you are one of our Green Lotus Ancient Clan members. Come here."
The Great Elder said.
Ling Chen replied and walked up.
The Great Elder flicked his fingers, and a stream of light shot towards Ling Chen’s forehead.
Soon, a refreshing energy surged into his body.
Then, a Green Lotus Mark appeared on his forehead.
Finally, it vanished.
"From now on, Ling Chen is also one of our clan members."
The Great Elder proclaimed aloud.
Then, the Great Elder also placed a Green Lotus Mark on the foreheads of Li Qiushui and Li Changtian.
The so-called clan entry ceremony was thus completed.
"Haotian, make arrangements for them, and let them enter the Immortal Ascension Pool tomorrow."
The Great Elder said.
Emperor Haotian responded.
"Today’s clan meeting is over, everyone may disperse!"
The Great Elder waved his hand.
Ling Chen, however, was anxious; he came here for the last three moves of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.
Not for some clan member status.
In essence, his connection to the Green Lotus Ancient Clan was only by blood.
It didn’t truly relate him to this sect.
"Great Elder, what about the Green Lotus Sword Manual?"
Although Ling Chen had been tested for nine-star talent outside, he had not obtained the Green Lotus Sword Manual. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
The Great Elder chuckled and disappeared.
At this point, Emperor Haotian whispered, "Try to activate the Green Lotus Mark!"
