BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37
Chapter 37: My Grand Elder Is Not A Bootlicker
East region…
No clouds could be seen in the sky today.
At present, the Qian Emperor Dao Sect was in a frenzy.
Countless disciples came out of seclusion under the command of the Elders to prepare for the sect competition.
The Qian Emperor Dao Sect was the Holy Land of the east region.
Almost all the major sects in the east region would be invited to their sect competition.
Those medium- and small-sized sects, as well as the sects that were not qualified to be invited, would also send gifts to congratulate the Qian Emperor Dao Sect for holding the sect competition.
One could say that the Qian Emperor Dao Sect’s competition was enough to shake the entire east region.
This was the influence of the east region’s Holy Land!
…
While the Qian Emperor Dao Sect was busy, the few Elders and Grand Elder gathered in the main hall.
The Elders stood below.
They were all old men.
And all of them were at the Soul Formation stage.
At that moment, a few Elders were talking.
“Grand Elder, what had happened? Didn’t you say that the disciples of the hidden sect, the Daoless Sect, would come?”
“There are only a few days left before our sect competition begins.”
“Could it be that we must delay the start of the sect competition for a hidden sect disciple? Cough, cough, that seems feasible. Sect Leader, I hope for the sect competition to be delayed!”
A few Elders were worried about the fact that the hidden sect disciples had yet to arrive.
In the hall, only two people remained calm, the Grand Elder and the Sect Leader of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect.
The two of them looked as calm as ever as if they were not surprised at all. Both of them looked unfathomable.
An Elder noticed that the two of them did not speak and could not help but ask, “Sect Leader, why don’t you think of something? We can’t possibly gather here and argue, right?”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan sat on the throne and looked at the Elder.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan said calmly, “The Grand Elder is in charge of this matter. Let the Grand Elder come up with a plan.”
He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually panicking internally.
He did not even have his cultivation base now.
Was he still able to maintain his prestige?
He could only try his best to act mute. If there were any problems, he would push it to these Elders.
After more than two months of acting, his acting skills had been trained to become near perfect.
After laying his instructions with such a tone, the Elders did not notice anything.
After muttering a few words about how Sect Leader Qian Yuan was getting lazier and lazier, they gave up.
Recently, they could only look for the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder remained expressionless. He had a cold and solemn look on his face as he pondered deeply for a long time.
The Grand Elder said righteously, “If they’re really not coming, then we should postpone the sect competition. After all, the only sect in the entire east region that our sect cares about is the Daoless Sect. As for the other sects, let them be.
“If our sect wants to build a friendly relationship with the Daoless Sect, how can we start before the disciples of the Daoless Sect arrive? Wouldn’t that make our relationship worse?”
He had a look which said, “I’m not a bootlicker, I’m just thinking for the sect”.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan couldn’t be bothered to say anything when he heard this, and he continued. “Since it’s like that, then we’ll delay the sect competition.”
The Elders all nodded in agreement.
Just as they were about to announce it, a disciple suddenly flew over on his sword and landed quickly in the hall.
The disciple said in an agitated tone, “Sect Leader! The hidden sect’s disciple has arrived!”
Eh?
The moment this was said, the Elders and Sect Leader all looked toward the disciple that had just flown in.
The disciple continued. “Sect Leader! There’s someone at the mountain gate with an invitation. We asked him where he came from, and he said he’s here on behalf of the Daoless Sect! He must be a disciple of the hidden sect!”
Finally!
The Elders’ faces were flushed red. No one knew what they were thinking.
“Let’s go! Let’s go and welcome this hidden sect disciple.”
“I want this hidden sect disciple to take a good look at my bootlicking skills. Pui, I have said it wrongly. Don’t mind me. I want this hidden sect disciple to take a good look at my divine skills.”
“Let’s go. What are we waiting for?”
The Elders quickly turned into streaks of light and flew out.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan stood up and walked out of the hall.
At that moment, he heard a voice beside his ear.
“Sect Leader, why aren’t you going over?”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan turned around and saw the Grand Elder standing beside him.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he retorted, “Shouldn’t I be asking you that? Why aren’t you going over?”
The Grand Elder shook his head and said with a solemn tone, “I am the Grand Elder of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect. How can I be like them? Pfft, a bunch of bootlickers!”
As the Grand Elder spoke, he silently fiddled with his sleeves.
He activated the Qian Emperor Dao Sect’s Flying Restriction Array Formation.
Fly? Who said that I have allowed all of you to fly? Let’s see if you can fly now.
After activating the Flying Restriction Array Formation, the Grand Elder used quite a bit of his mental strength to communicate with the array to target those Elders who had just flown out of the hall.
It’s time for me to shine. I will let all of you have a head start first before I start my chase!
On the other side, Sect Leader Qian Yuan didn’t know what the Grand Elder had just done. He pretended to be calm when he heard what the Grand Elder said.
“That’s right. As expected of the Grand Elder of my Qian Emperor Dao Sect. I think so too. We can’t be bootlickers.”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan nodded in agreement.
The Grand Elder smiled and nodded. He then calculated the time.
At this time, those Soul Formation Elders should have already dropped from the sky.
He could rush over now.
The Grand Elder said casually, “Sect Leader, although that may be the case, as the Holy Land of the east region, my Qian Emperor Dao Sect should still display the grace of a great sect. I think we should still head over.”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan waved his hand and said, “I do not need to go. Your presence as the Grand Elder is enough to represent the sincerity of my sect.”
When the Grand Elder heard this, he didn’t say anything else and directly tore through the sky.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan became the only one left.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan looked at the empty hall and heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It was so difficult to act as the leader of a Holy Land…
He was constantly on the verge of being exposed.
Thankfully, his acting skills were good enough.
“No, no. When this hidden sect disciple enters the sect, I must ask if there is any way for my cultivation to recover.”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan took a deep breath and placed his hopes on the hidden sect. He really had no way of restoring his cultivation base himself.
If even he had no idea of how to solve his problem, no one in the entire east region would. He could only place his hopes in the hidden sec!
At the same time, at the Qian Emperor Dao Sect’s entrance…
