Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 797 - 788: The Situation

"Do you recognize me?"

Upon hearing Deacon Chen instantly recognize his identity, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but look startled.

"Pavilion Master, it really is you!"

Deacon Chen scurried over, his face full of respect. It wasn’t strange for Mo Wangchen not to recognize him.

After all, Mo Pavilion had a million disciples, and even as the Pavilion Master, it was impossible to know each one personally.

Moreover, although he was the deacon of this subsidiary, Mo Pavilion had grown significantly stronger now, and there were probably nearly a hundred such subsidiaries.

As the Pavilion Master, Mo Wangchen’s status was naturally lofty. Furthermore, he had once saved the lives of everyone in Mo Pavilion, so Deacon Chen was naturally very respectful to Mo Wangchen.

Once he had recognized who it was, he did not dare to delay and hurriedly welcomed Mo Wangchen and his company into the subsidiary.

"Was that young man in white clothes the Pavilion Master Mo Wangchen just now?"

"Is he the Divine King Body? He looks much younger than I imagined. I heard he already possesses strength comparable to that of a Void Immortal. Truly, appearances can be deceptive."

Outside the subsidiary, as the figures of Mo Wangchen and his party completely disappeared from their sight, many onlookers around started discussing amongst themselves.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that in today’s Heavenly Gang, the one most worthy of attention is none other than Mo Wangchen!

Not to mention anything else, just being the Pavilion Master of Mo Pavilion had already elevated Mo Wangchen to a status comparable to that of the Saint Masters.

His appearance now naturally caused a great stir, and the news spread very quickly—soon, the entire Lingxiao Ancient City had already heard about it.

"Not long ago, I heard that the Pavilion Master went to the Northern Immortal Domain. I didn’t expect him to return so quickly. I wonder who these people are..."

After welcoming Mo Wangchen to the main seat, Deacon Chen personally poured a cup of tea, then his gaze shifted to Jun Luoye and the others who had come with Mo Wangchen.

"You all, please take a seat too." Mo Wangchen smiled and invited Jun Luoye and the others to sit down, then he continued to speak, "Most of these people are friends I made during my time in Canglan. They are here to join Mo Pavilion."

"So they are all friends of the Pavilion Master, my apologies." Deacon Chen exclaimed, slapping his head, then ran up to Jun Luoye and others, cheerfully filling their cups with tea.

Had it not been for Mo Wangchen’s clarification, Deacon Chen would have thought that Jun Luoye and the others were just young followers of Mo Wangchen.

It turns out they were all friends of Mo Wangchen. Friends and followers, two different identities receive very different treatments.

Being served tea by an expert of the Emperor Realm Great Mahayana unexpectedly made Murong Yue and others feel somewhat uncomfortable. Most of them had only the first or second level of the Emperor Realm cultivation, and two or three of them were at the Peak of Saint Venerable Realm.

Typically, seeing an expert of the Emperor Realm Great Mahayana, they would act with utmost respect, but here in this subsidiary of Mo Pavilion, the roles were completely reversed, making it somewhat difficult for them to adapt.

At the same time, as Murong Yue and Jun Luoye stood together, they couldn’t help feeling deeply moved. After several years without seeing each other, the heights Mo Wangchen had reached were indeed something they could no longer aspire to.

"A few moments after drinking a cup of tea, Mo Wangchen turned to Deacon Chen and asked, "Have there been any unusual movements from the Demon God Clan and the Night God Clan recently?"

"According to the Pavilion Master’s plan, our Mo Pavilion Disciples have been continuously harassing their industries and external territories every day. The results have been quite good. Not long ago, Elder Xiao took personal action, uprooting one of the external territories of the Demon God Clan. It is said that the Demon God King was furious beyond solace."

"Elder Xiao?" Mo Wangchen was momentarily taken aback by this information.

Elder Xiao, skilled in arrays, had once constructed a simple Protection Array when Black Evil City was besieged by a Beast Tide.

"Although Mo Pavilion has many people and great influence, the overall strength is still lacking. Do not overdo it; otherwise, if you truly drive them into desperation, it could become troublesome," Mo Wangchen said.

"Rest assured, Pavilion Master, the six elders are all sensible people who understand the pros and cons. Mo Pavilion has the most industries and subsidiaries in the Lingxiao Ancient City. Even though the Demon God Clan is powerful, they would not dare to attack rashly," replied Deacon Chen with a smile.

"Oh?" Mo Wangchen was curious. He was just about to ask why, when Mo Pavilion took action against the Demon God Clan, no expert from their side came to take action against the Mo Pavilion’s subsidiary in Lingxiao Ancient City.

"One might assume, Pavilion Master, that you have already noticed the invisible taboos surrounding the ancient city, which have yet to be activated."

"These taboos were personally laid out by Elder Xiao, who set up a supreme killing array. Even a general Immortal Realm Great Power who intrudes will find it hard to escape."

"I see," Mo Wangchen understood after hearing Deacon Chen’s explanation.

Elder Xiao had spent his life studying the ways of arrays. Before Mo Wangchen had gone to the Heavenly God Institute, he had also explained some mysteries of the True Technique of the Array to him. Naturally, the killing array that Elder Xiao had set up in this Lingxiao Ancient City was nothing simple.

Ordinary powers of the Immortal Realm would not dare to intrude rashly, and obviously, the Demon God Clan knew that Mo Pavilion could strike at them any time. The current harassment was meant to disperse their forces. Sending a large number of experts would have just played into the hands of many.

Although Lingxiao Ancient City is a crucial development site for Mo Pavilion, because the Demon God Clan dares not act, the development here has been extremely rapid recently.

Jun Luoye and others, listening to the conversation between Mo Wangchen and Deacon Chen, had not uttered a word. They felt respect for daring to openly struggle against powerful ancient clans like the Demon God Clan and the Night God Clan, a feat perhaps only Mo Pavilion in the entire Heavenly Gang could achieve.

Soon, a huge war chariot arrived outside the subsidiary’s gate, sent by Mo Pavilion’s Mountain Gate as Deacon Chen had informed them earlier.

"Pavilion Master!"

To Mo Wangchen’s surprise, all six elders had come in person, presumably having learned of his return and rushing over to greet him.

"From now on, do not mobilize such a large force. Given the current tense situation with the Demon God and Night God clans, the sect cannot be left unattended," Mo Wangchen said.

"Your instruction is correct, Pavilion Master," the six Immortal Realm elders replied respectfully, all willingly following Mo Wangchen, having secretly sworn loyalty to him.

Seeing the six Immortal Realm Great Powers behave before Mo Wangchen like six obedient chicks, Jun Luoye and the others were even more astonished. Although they could have guessed this scenario, experiencing it in person was still another matter.

"Ha-ha, this place is not far from the Mountain Gate, and it will only take a moment to reach. Moreover, the elder has already set up an even stronger Mountain Protection Array here than back home, which even the Demon God Clan dares not to attack forcefully," laughed Elder Xiao, knowing Mo Wangchen’s easygoing nature. After the initial formalities, everyone relaxed a bit more.
