Chapter 955 - He Is the Man (2/2)

“Let’s go.

“Open the middle gate, a.s.semble the ceremony guards, and come with me to welcome our honored guests.”

Life and color drained from Lin Xiao’s face after hearing what he said.

The Divine Stage was over a few thousand meters above the clouds.

People traveled on and off the stage through small portals.

The middle gate at the foot of the mountain was a huge behemoth and was reserved only for the most revered guest. Not even Jun Aochen nor the Sect Master of the Ghost Underworld Sect received such honorary treatment. In fact, only Heavenly Lords had ever gone through the middle gate. Therefore, using the middle gate was a clear signal of submission from the Reincarnation Sect to Chen Fan.

Even Elder Yuelon exclaimed in awe, “Such renown and prestige.”

Meanwhile, Hua Nonyin and Zhang Shouzhuo were shaken to the core.

The Elixir Monarch was the monarch of all alchemists.

He was not an Nascent Soul Cultivator, but he might as well be one.

Boom!

A thunderous blast was heard near the giant Divine Stage. Everyone looked up and saw a long stair descending from the stage and touching down near Chen Fan like a dragon.

The Reincarnation Sect’s disciples lined up and on both sides of the stairs, even making a path which led to them.

At the top of the stair was the Grand Elder Lin Shan and many other elders, waiting for Chen Fan’s grace.

“That’s the cloud stair and the ceremonial guards. Such treatment is reserved only for Heavenly Lords.”

Some knowledgeable cultivators recognized the procession and let out gasps of cold air.

By then, even if there were people who didn’t know who Chen Fan was, they should have felt Chen Fan’s mighty clout after seeing the humble att.i.tude shown by the members of Mount Reincarnation.

The sight was so upsetting for Gui Mingzi and Wu Shandu that they looked as if their parents had died.

An alchemist nodded and said, “Only the Elixir Monarch has brought honor to all of us.”

“But this is nothing compared to the procession of the Elixir Emperor. Nascent Soul Cultivators lined up for miles to greet him. That was such a sight to behold,” someone else exclaimed.

By then, Chen Fan’s skill in Alchemy was second only to the Elixir Emperor.

“Thanks.”

Chen Fan nodded at Zhu Ninmuo after she wrote down his name on the tablet. He then gave Gui Mingzi a sidelong glance, which froze him in his tracks with one foot hovering above the ground.

“Is there anything you need from me?” Chen Fan asked with a calm composure.

“No… nothing.” Wu Shan and the others shook their heads.

“Oh? I thought you were going to seek revenge or what not.”

Wu Shan’s face paled and swore to Chen Fan that he wanted to bury the hatchet and that his punishment back at the Brahma Palace was well deserved.

“Hm.”

Chen Fan nodded and headed to the stairs. Even as Wu Shan heaved a sigh of relief, Chen Fan turned around and said.

“If you really want to fight me, make sure you bring more Heavenly Lords with you. Otherwise, those Golden Core Cultivators you gathered wouldn’t even hold out against my servant. Pathetic.”

After he said that, he ignored Wu Shan and went up the stairs.

The Zhu Family Sisters and many junior cultivators looked up at Chen Fan’s back and were speechless.

“He’s the man!” many people exclaimed.

Gui Mingzi nearly lost his balance when he finally landed that hovering step. He knew he would never be able to stand up against Chen Fan.

Chen Fan ascended the stairs and arrived at the top where the Grand Elder was waiting for him.

As the Elixir Monarch, his prestige and authority outs.h.i.+ned everyone on the stage, including Jun Aochen. Other than a Nascent Soul Cultivator or the Elixir Emperor himself, no one would sit closer to the head of the table than Chen Fan.

Therefore, Chen Fan walked straight to the most prominent seat and sat down.

Lin Xiao and the other’s were terrified by Chen Fan’s presence.

Once he had sat down, he examined the faces of those around him and noticed that underneath the fake smiles there was sinister intent. He knew danger was still lurking.

“Very well, I have some scores to settle with you as well.”

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

He had never been a forgiving person iIn all of his life, and neither would he be this time.
