Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 299: A country chicken turns into a phoenix?

"Huang Zhongyan, you are already an adult, why are you still so ignorant of right and wrong?"

"Since Brother Ding Chen has never sworn a sect blood oath, strictly speaking, he cannot be considered a disciple of your [Hehuan Sect]."

"Where does 'dishonouring teachers and destroying ancestors' come from?"

"That's right, Huang Zhongyan, you old fellow, please don't ruin the reputation of Brother Ding Chen!"

……

The sudden unified criticism from the top leaders of the nine sects caught Huang Zhongyan off guard.

His face was gloomy, and he cursed in his heart: "Are these old guys crazy?!"

Deputy Headmaster Huang, who originally planned to use the power of the Nine Sects to trap Ding Chen here, never expected that the bad disciple who should have been convicted of "disrespecting his master and destroying his ancestors" would be...

Suddenly, he transformed himself into a popular figure that all the high-ranking officials of various sects were vying to win over.

"Brother Ding Chen, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Chen, my given name is Chang, and I am the deputy headmaster of Qianlei Sect."

An old man with a round head and a fat body was the first to speak: "Chen is a few years older than you, so you should shamelessly call yourself brother!"

"To be honest, when I first saw you, I felt very close to you."

"It's as if there's an invisible, intangible thread pulling us together."

"I think this must be fate, right?"

At this moment, Huang Zhongyan, who was filled with indignation, suddenly jumped out and said, "Hey, your words are so sour that they are almost making my teeth fall out!"

"Chen Chang, Chen Chang, I really didn't realize before that you actually like this?"

"They were talking about 'there is an invisible and intangible thread pulling us', and they were also talking about 'fate'..."

"Are you old, old man? You can't play with delicate female disciples anymore, so you try to play with men instead?"

Chen Chang's face changed and he said angrily, "Bullshit! What do you know?"

"Brother Ding and I are friends regardless of age. Do you understand? Do you think everyone is as dirty and filthy as you?!"

After glaring at Huang Zhongyan, Chen Chang turned to look at Ding Chen with a smile and said, "I wonder if Brother Ding would be willing to do me the honor of joining my Thousand Thunder Sect?"

"If that's the case, I will never treat my brothers unfairly!"

"It just so happens that the position of 'Chief Elder of the War Hall' newly established by my sect has been unresolved."

"His status and treatment are in no way inferior to the sect's permanent 'Inner Sect Grand Elder'."

"If Brother Ding is willing to do me the honor, this position belongs to you! Brother Ding, you..."

Before Chen Chang finished speaking, a sneering voice resounded throughout the room: "Haha, what do you mean by 'the chief elder of the war hall is no less than the permanent chief elder of the inner sect'? I'm afraid you made up this false title yourself, right?"

"Humph, there is absolutely no sincerity at all!"

The one who interrupted Chen Chang was an old man with silver hair that was as fluffy as a lion's mane.

He is the inner sect elder of Qianshui Sect: Zhao Rong.

Chen Chang's eyebrows tightened. "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

"Hey, what can I mean? I just want to offer more sincere conditions than you, and invite Brother Ding Chen to join my [Qianshui Sect]!"

As he was talking, Zhao Rong came forward, clasped his fists and saluted Ding Chen, saying, "Brother Ding Chen, I am the Grand Elder of the Qianshui Sect, Zhao Rong."

"I, Zhao Rong, won't be like Chen Chang, who made up a title on the spot and played tricks on you."

"Brother Ding, if you can join the Qianshui Sect, my position will be yours!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chang's pupils shrank: "This old bastard really dares to invest!"

You know, in any established sect, the "Inner Sect Grand Elder" can be regarded as one of the "three giants" of the sect!

Apart from the Supreme Master and the Deputy Master, the Inner Sect's Great Elder has the greatest power and the highest status.

Sometimes, the great elder of the inner sect can even be on equal footing with the deputy headmaster.

Zhao Rong was going to give up such a high position to Ding Chen with just a few words?

To many practitioners, this is simply unbelievable!

"No way, that's the throne of the 'Inner Sect Grand Elder'!"

"Hey, I guess Elder Zhao was just saying it casually, his purpose is to stabilize that guy first."

"Once he really takes the blood oath to join my [Qianshui Sect], I can't be sure about the arrangements~"

"But having said that, this guy named Ding Chen is really awesome. The Thousand Thunder Sect and the Thousand Water Sect are both vying to extend an olive branch to him..."

At this moment, Zhao Rong suddenly cut his finger, pointed to the sky and swore: "If brother Ding Chen can join the [Qianshui Sect], I, Zhao Rong, will give up the position of 'Inner Sect Elder' to him."

"If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and you will not die a good death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators who had just been secretly questioning whether Zhao Rong was just "playing for show" and using the title of "Inner Gate Grand Elder" to make big promises to Ding Chen were severely slapped in the face.

Huang Zhongyan was even more shocked: "This old guy is really crazy!"

Liao Rujia's heart sank: "It's over. There's no way to control Ding Chen anymore..."

Although Zhao Rong and Chen Chang's Xuan cultivation realm is higher than Ding Chen's.

But the problem is that in Liao Rujia's eyes, both of them are old guys with most of their bodies buried in the ground, but Ding Chen is still incredibly young!

Even if Ding Chen had no more adventures in the next four hundred years, he could easily grow to the third or even fourth level of the Earth Crystal Realm just by practicing over a long period of time!

Therefore, no matter which faction brings Ding Chen into the sect, it is equivalent to locking in a brilliant future for the sect in advance...

Liao Rujia could think of this, so the top leaders of the other nine sects are naturally not fools.

At this time, another high-ranking member of the sect spoke up: "When it comes to the sincerity of recruiting Brother Ding, my Happy Sect will never be inferior to any other sect!"

"So what if Zhao Rong said he could give up his position as the 'Inner Sect Grand Elder'?"

"Brother Ding, if you can enter my Happy Sect, my position as deputy headmaster will be yours!"

The person who spoke was an old woman with white hair and a baby face, which made her look less imposing and more kind.

Especially now she really wants to recruit the talented Ding Chen.

As a result, the feeling she expressed became even kinder, just like a warm-hearted and warm-hearted old grandmother next door.

At this moment, after she said this, she actually swore a blood oath in public that she would fulfill her promise!

This scene made all the disciples of Happy Sect dumbfounded.

This is because in the Happy Sect, the deputy headmaster Zhang Liuyue has always been known as the "Bloody She-Devil".

If she is not satisfied with something even the slightest bit, she will cut off people's fingers, ears and noses!

These disciples of the Happy Sect had never seen her look so kind and benevolent before...

"Brother Ding, I am the deputy headmaster of Yingling Sect: Zhou Cheng."

An old man with a short stature but arms longer than his knees stepped forward and said, "The Grand Elder of our Yingling Sect intends to pass on his life's skills to one person before he dies."

"But he has high standards and has always looked down on many of the younger generations in the sect."

"I can guarantee that if Brother Ding can join our Yingling Sect, he will be valued by the Supreme Elder. Given time, he will be taught the skills and become the Supreme Sect Master!"

Another person jumped out and said, "Brother Ding, don't listen to this guy's bragging!"

Although this man had a head full of white hair, he had unusually well-developed muscles that made his Taoist robe bulge high.

"The Grand Elder of Yingling Sect hasn't shown his face for how many years? Who knows if he is still alive?"

"And I, Liu Xingnian, the Grand Elder of the Four Seasons Sect, can swear a blood oath to prove that my sect's Grand Elder is still alive, and in recent years I have also had the idea of 'passing on my skills to others'."

"Brother Ding, if you can join our Four Seasons Sect, I can guarantee with my life that you will become the only choice for the Grand Elder to pass on his skills!"

Suddenly, a tall old man squeezed to the front row and said, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Tsk! You're talking as if you're the only ones who have a 'Grand Elder'!"

This man has a square face and a tall body, and he exudes an aura of majesty without even getting angry.

He is the Linglang Sect's inner sect elder: Nan Zhuhai.

At the same time, he is also the brother of Nan Zhuhu, who served as the "leader" of Linglang Sect during the "Ten Sects Competition".

At this moment, he rushed forward to hold Ding Chen's hand, shaking it continuously, very enthusiastically, as if he felt that he had met Ding Chen too late!

When everyone saw him, they couldn't help but tease him, "Nan Zhuhai, if I remember correctly, your Linglang Sect's most proud 'dark horse' Qi Huayao has been beaten to a pulp by Brother Ding Chen, right?"

"How dare you have the nerve to try to win someone over?"

Nan Zhuhai said calmly, "Humph, Qi Huayao's fate is entirely his own fault, so it's not my brother Ding's fault!"

The old man was thinking, "If I can convince Ding Chen to join my Linglang Sect this time, what does it matter if I destroy Qi Huayao?"

"Even if it means uprooting the Qi family, one of the 'Eight Great Mysterious Cultivation Families' in the sect, we will not hesitate!"

"It's worth using their lives to exchange for an incredibly young 'Earth Crystal Realm Expert'!"

……

At this moment, all the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect felt as if they were in a dream as they watched the high-level leaders of various sects continuously increasing the stakes to recruit Ding Chen!

Looking back to not long ago, Ding Chen was just an unknown "menial disciple".

Today, this young man has quietly grown to a height that all the disciples cannot even begin to look up to!

Deputy Headmaster Huang Zhongyan felt extremely aggrieved, and cursed inwardly with a twitch of his mouth: "Damn it, they actually let this little bastard 'turn from a chicken into a phoenix'?!"
