Hearing this, Long Junhai smiled, pointed at the huge statue again, and said, "I am him."
"What! It's really the Sect Master!"
"Quick! Go and report to the Acting Sect Master! Tell him that Sect Master Long has returned!"
The guards were very excited and immediately returned to the sect to report the matter to the acting sect leader Qian Dafu.
"Report! Acting Sect Master! The Sect Master is back!"
"What! Say it again!" Qian Dafu, who was discussing things with several elders in the main hall, was shocked and asked again quickly.
"The leader of the Dragon King and the Sea Dragon Sect is back! He's at the gate!" the guard below replied excitedly.
"Why don't you invite the sect leader in?" Qian Dafu was trembling with excitement.
"We, we were not sure at that time, oh no, the key is the identity of the sect leader..." The guard was trembling with fear, he didn't know how to explain this matter.
"What good are you doing? I put up the statues at the gate just to prevent you from not recognizing the Sect Master, but it turns out they're completely useless!"
Qian Dafu said no more. Even if he was angry, this was not the time to lose his temper. He quickly teleported towards the door.
The elders did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed Qian Dafu to fly out.
When Qian Dafu flew to the gate, he saw Long Junhai in white clothes. He was so excited that he wanted to kneel down, but Long Junhai supported him up from a distance.
"No need to be so polite. I didn't originally plan to come back, but I ran into big trouble this time, so I want everyone to make some preparations in advance." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Master, please come in. No matter what troubles we encounter, we in the Huaxia Sect will support you till death!" Qian Dafu said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Long Junhai nodded and went to the meeting hall in the main hall with Qian Dafu and others.
The Huaxia Sect has not undergone any major changes over the years, but the cultivation of the disciples here has improved a lot. It is rare to see disciples below the Spirit Transformation Stage. Basically, the worst are the Void Refinement Stage disciples, and there are a lot of Tribulation Stage disciples. Only those who have reached the Fusion Stage can become elders of the sect.
"Master, should I call all the elders here?" Qian Dafu asked.
"Let's hold a meeting of all disciples. This matter is closely related to everyone, and it is necessary to let everyone know." Long Junhai said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, sir! Elder Qi, immediately ring the sect's morning bells and evening drums, and notify everyone to gather in front of the conference hall in the main hall!" Qian Dabao said.
Elder Qi immediately flew out of the hall, and the next moment the entire Huaxia Sect was filled with the sound of long bells and deafening drums!
"Hmm! Morning bells and evening drums! This is the sect calling all disciples! We must return as soon as possible!"
"Morning bells and evening drums? Why are they ringing now? I have to go back and take a look."
"Something big might have happened in the sect, we must hurry back!"
"Could it be... the Sect Master is back!"
Many people guessed that it was probably because Long Junhai had returned that the morning bells and evening drums were rung to gather all the Huaxia Sect disciples. Those who were not Huaxia Sect disciples were also paying close attention to this matter.
The morning bells and evening drums that gather everyone together don't ring every day. Every time they ring, something big must happen. As the only super sect in Luoxing Mountain, the Huaxia Sect is unlikely to encounter any danger, so the morning bells and evening drums will only ring in one situation, and that is when Long Junhai returns!
The cultivators were particularly excited when they thought of this level, because Long Junhai was the legend of Luoxing Mountain, the god here, and the most powerful person here. His appearance would definitely bring huge benefits to the cultivators. Without him, Luoxing Mountain would not be as prosperous as it is today!
Therefore, many cultivators outside the Huaxia Sect spontaneously formed groups to go to the Huaxia Sect, hoping to see the true face of Long Junhai.
At this moment, the Huaxia Sect was crowded with people. Almost all the cultivators from the entire Luoxing Mountain who could make it here had arrived. Although their number was only one-tenth of the entire continent, they were the most elite force in the entire continent. Hundreds of millions of cultivators surrounded the Huaxia Sect, and the number was at least around 2 billion. Among them, the cultivators who could enter the Huaxia Sect were at least in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Even so, the nearly 10 million Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators squeezed the entire Huaxia Sect to pieces.
When everyone had almost arrived, Long Junhai opened his voice and said loudly, "My fellow Taoists in the Spirit Realm, many of you may have heard of my name, but not many have actually met me. I am Long Junhai, currently the most accomplished person in the Spirit Realm. I was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, but because I encountered a difficult situation, I have decided to postpone my ascension."
Everyone present was shocked by these words. What could be more important than ascension? Aren't all the cultivators in the spiritual world constantly cultivating for the moment of ascension? But Long Junhai decided to postpone his ascension. Wasn't this a joke?
"Everyone, please be quiet. The Sect Master must have his reasons. Please be patient and let the Sect Master finish his words." Qian Dafu loudly maintained order on the side. After all, what Long Junhai had just said was too shocking.
After everyone quieted down, Long Junhai continued, "Maybe everyone doesn't understand why I do this. In fact, the reason I do this is to stay and fight the catastrophe with everyone! The impending catastrophe in the spirit world! This is not to prove how powerful I am, nor to prove how selfless I am. I am just following my heart, that's all. So, those who are willing to fight the catastrophe with me can stay, and those who are not willing to fight the catastrophe can leave. What we will face next is real life and death, because the demon world has invaded the spirit world, and it won't be long before Luoxing Mountain will be shrouded in demonic energy. By then, all the demons will become demon leaders, or they will be killed by the demon leaders."
This time, Long Junhai dropped another bombshell. Everyone was extremely shocked when they heard this. They were shocked beyond words. No one believed it, nor were they willing to believe that the demon world had invaded the spirit world!
"Master Long! Does the demon world really exist? Why would they invade the spirit world?"
"Yeah, what good will this do them? After all, the resources in the spirit world are not as abundant as those in the demon world!"
Hearing everyone's questions, Long Junhai smiled and said, "The Demon Realm is real, and its resources are richer than those of the Spirit Realm. However, the Demon Realm still chooses to invade our Spirit Realm. First, the containment space of our Spirit Realm is much lower than that of the Demon Realm, and the species in their Demon Realm are much stronger than ours, so the invasion can be said to be unimpeded. Second, the Spirit Realm has secret passages leading to the Immortal Realm and even the God Realm. Even without ascending, you can enter directly. The Demon Realm wants to make the people of the Immortal Realm vulnerable to attacks from both sides, so it will detour through the Spirit Realm and invade the rear of the Immortal Realm. This war is inevitable."
Everyone suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this. Although they had never come into contact with creatures from the demon world, they had already heard about their brutality!
