Having understood this, Chen Zhou immediately said to the kneeling elders, "Get up! You are all my juniors, and you are all people I need to learn from. It is definitely hard for me to accept that you are suddenly like this."
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the elders of the three Wolong sects immediately stood up and said in unison, "Thank you, Lord Chen."
Chen Zhou was speechless upon hearing this reaction. They still hadn't changed their ways after he finished speaking. It seemed that this habit was hard to break.
"Look at me, I'm only at the Enlightenment stage right now. To be honest, I just broke through to the Enlightenment stage, and my strength is not as high as any of you. My talent is probably even lower than yours. Whether I can even reach the Golden Core stage is still a question. The way you're treating me now is really speechless!"
Chen Zhou spoke frankly, saying that the elders were treating him too well, which was almost unbearable for him. They were also so polite, and Chen Zhou felt that the distance between him and them was constantly increasing.
“My lord, your talent is definitely better than ours. We are all old bones. The future of the three schools of Wolong still depends on you.” Wo Geng spoke in the same way as Qian Xin, bowing and cupping his hands.
"Let's put that aside for now. If you call me 'sir,' then I'll give you my first order right now!" Chen Zhou said immediately after thinking for a moment. He had to change the current situation, otherwise he would be in a very awkward position. This was the first time Chen Zhou had been treated like this, and he was finding it hard to adapt.
"The Sulong Sect,"
"Hidden Dragon Sect,"
"The Crouching Dragon Sect".
"Listen to my command!"
Just as Chen Zhou was about to continue speaking, the elders immediately responded loudly, stating their respective sects, leaving Chen Zhou even more bewildered.
“You don’t need to be so reserved in front of me in the future. In particular, you don’t need to bow or clasp your hands when you see me. Can we just have a normal conversation?” Chen Zhou said immediately.
"Listen to my command!" the crowd responded. Wo Geng also spoke up, but he maintained his bowed posture and did not change it. Chen Zhou frowned when he saw this.
“Elder, you can let go now.” Chen Zhou walked to Wo Geng’s side and helped him put his hands down.
After Wo Geng lowered his hands, he immediately looked at Chen Zhou, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on Chen Zhou.
"I know you now regard me as your leader," Chen Zhou said slowly, fully aware of this himself.
“That’s right. You are the one chosen by the true dragon’s phantom, and you are the undisputed leader of our three Wolong factions. We all follow you without hesitation.” This time, Wo Geng didn’t bow or cup his hands when he spoke, but said very naturally.
"As you all probably already know, I am a disciple of Lord Xi Xiangchen, so I have heard about the Three Sects of Wolong since I was a child, and I have been exposed to it by eye and ear. My master is still alive, and he even took me to see the Three Sects of Wolong, but you just couldn't find out." Chen Zhou said slowly, telling a lie.
Chen Zhou's idea was undoubtedly excellent, as it both covered up his lie and subtly brought him closer to these people.
"You mean, Lord Xi Xiangchen is still alive?" Wo Geng suppressed his excitement and said slowly. The question Wo Geng asked was undoubtedly the same question asked by everyone present.
Chen Zhou nodded. He had just finished looking at everyone here. The people here could be roughly divided into three factions based on their clothing and appearance. The people with the most similar attire were from the Wolong Sect. The Wolong Sect was currently the most powerful, so the most people who had reached the Golden Core stage must be from the Wolong Sect.
Next are three people. I have met one of them before, and he must be from the Hidden Dragon Sect.
The last two were dressed somewhat similarly to Su Feng, and one of them even looked quite like Su Feng, so they must be the two elders of the Su Long Sect.
“Yes, our master is not only alive, but living very well. You don’t need to worry about him anymore, and you don’t need to try to find him. He has gone to another world,” Chen Zhou said slowly.
This joke was undoubtedly made up by Chen Zhou. Since Xi Xiangchen is already so powerful, this world can no longer hold him back, and he has most likely gone to another world.
When everyone learned that Xi Xiangchen had gone to another world, they were not very surprised, because they had guessed it. They had spent so much effort but still couldn't find Xi Xiangchen, not even a trace of him, so they figured he must have already left this world.
"Lord Xi Xiangchen, does he... does he really care so much about the three sects of Wolong?" Qianxin asked at this moment, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.
Chen Zhou did not hesitate. He should be able to answer this question quickly. Hesitation would lead to questioning, and he certainly could not allow that to happen. So he immediately said, "Yes, Master has always been concerned about the Three Schools of Wolong."
Hearing Chen Zhou's words, everyone looked relieved, while Chen Zhou, on the other hand, was completely confused. Judging from their expressions, the matter between Xi Xiangchen and them seemed to be very complicated, definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"This is not the time to discuss this. Report to me immediately on the current situation of the Hidden Dragon Sect," Chen Zhou said quickly.
After calming himself down, Qianxin immediately said, "There are only four people left in the Qianlong Sect who are conscious: Qianxin, Qianwen, Qianlei, and Qianwei. The rest have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to prevent them from being controlled by the vampires again. The poisonous true energy in their bodies has not been neutralized."
