960: Chapter 960 – I Object (Third Update) _1 960: Chapter 960 – I Object (Third Update) _1 “You all are pushing it too far!”

Li Xingyun was immediately incensed, and beneath his white robe, the momentum of an Ancient Emperor fluctuated.

This was a clear slap to his face.

Although he had been marginalized within the Temple of Beasts, such actions were overly excessive.

“Great Elder, today is the new palace master’s Accession Ceremony, there’s no need for you to get so worked up.”

At this moment, an elderly man who was sitting at the most superior position stood up, grinned at Li Xingyun, and said: “Great Elder, if you’re not satisfied, you can sit here, and I’ll sit over there.

All of us are here for the Temple of Beasts; it doesn’t matter where we sit, does it?”

“Qi Feng.”

Long Yan’s gaze landed on the elderly man, recognizing him immediately as Qi Feng, one of the Ancient Emperors apart from the Golden Fur Demon Ape.

Qi Feng was around fifty years old with a slightly tiny stature and a dark complexion.

At this moment, even though his face was plastered with an appeasing smile, a dark smirk rose in his eyes.

This situation was designed to embarrass Li Xingyun.

“Great Elder, kindly bear with it for now.”

Long Yan transmitted a message to Li Xingyun in secret.

This was clearly a trap by Qi Feng and others to make Li Xingyun uncomfortable.

The more enraged Li Xingyun became, the more he would fall into their scheme.

“Hmph.”

Li Xingyun snorted coldly and then sat down at the farthest end, his face ashen.

Long Yan, Lei Youyou, Lei Xiaotian, Mo Er, Li Yuanba, Yu Wuxia, and Jiang Li stood behind Li Xingyun.

At this moment, all eyes fell on Long Yan, Lei Youyou, Lei Xiaotian, Mo Er, Li Yuanba, and Yu Wuxia.

It was the first time anyone had seen them.

“Who are these six people, and where did they come from?

I’ve never seen them before.”

“Who knows?

Maybe they’re new disciples of the Great Elder.”

“Anyone who’s not a fool can see that the Great Elder’s power has significantly diminished.

Once the Deputy Palace Master is ascended, the Great Elder’s position in the Temple of Beasts will probably disappear.

Even if he takes in more disciples, it will be of no avail.”

“Everyone keep your voices down, we just need to watch over these matters.

They are out of our control.”

…

To everyone, the six people of Long Yan were certainly Li Xingyun’s new disciples.

“Great Elder, you seem to be in a good mood recently, preparing to train disciples?”

Qi Feng also assumed that Long Yan’s group were Li Xingyun’s new disciples.

He briefly glanced at the six people of Long Yan, not giving them much importance.

Li Xingyun only huffed coldly and had no intention of interacting with Qi Feng.

At this moment, Long Yan’s gaze swept over the core characters of the Temple of Beasts, carefully observing each one.

“Although the Temple of Beasts has declined, its overall strength is still not weak.”

Not counting Lan Tianming and the Golden Fur Demon Ape, the Temple of Beasts had two Ancient Emperors, close to twenty Nirvanas, and numerous Myriad Forms and Breaking Boundary realm cultivators.

With no less than fifty thousand disciples, the Temple of Beasts as a whole was slightly stronger than Zhenyang Sect.

Including the four Heavenly Monarchs and the Beast Emperor, the strength of the Temple of Beasts could compete with any other force in the Southern Wasteland Continent.

Time ticked away, and an hour quickly passed.

“Quick, look, the palace master is here!”

No one knew who shouted, but everyone’s gaze turned towards the sky, including Long Yan’s.

In their field of view, two figures were flying towards them side by side.

Very soon, the two figures landed in front of the Heavenly Beast Hall, arresting everyone’s attention.

“Lan Tianming, Mu Han.”

Among the two people, one was a middle-aged man, about thirty-five years old.

He was tall with prominent cheekbones, breath-takingly deep eyes, dressed in a long robe with purple gold edges.

The atmosphere around him fluctuated invisibly, proving that he was a Quasi-emperor.

This man was definitely Lan Tianming, the only Quasi-emperor in the Temple of Beasts.

The young man standing by Lan Tianming’s side was undoubtedly his direct disciple, Mu Han, a genius at the Mid-stage of Myriad Forms Realm in the Temple of Beasts.

Lan Tianming’s gaze swept over everyone, lingering briefly on Long Yan’s group.

“Dear Elders, Law Protectors, and fellow disciples, for the future of the Temple of Beasts, I have decided to assume the Palace Master’s position today.

Thousands of years ago, our predecessor leader, the Beast Emperor, disappeared and we have had no news of him since.

A snake without a head won’t go far, and the Temple of Beasts cannot operate without a leader.

After inheriting the Palace Master’s position, I will lead the Temple of Beasts to a prosperous future and then take revenge for the old Palace Master.”

Lan Tianming declared loudly and then gestured to Qi Feng: “Second Elder, let’s begin.”

Qi Feng nodded, then stood up.

“Everyone…

Next, Qi Feng began a lengthy oration, detailing the contributions Lan Tianming had made to the Temple of Beasts.

After almost an hour of non-stop talking, Qi Feng still hadn’t finished, which quickly bored Long Yan, whose ears were starting to form calluses from all the chatter.

“This old man is wasting his talent by not being a public speaker.”

Lei Xiaotian stuck his small finger into his ear, cleared it out, and muttered quietly.

“Starting today, the Vice Sect Leader will be assuming the position of the Palace Master.

Does anyone object?”

Qi Feng’s gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Li Xingyun as he said in a loud voice.

“Great Elder, don’t be impulsive.

Leave this to me.”

Just as Li Xingyun was preparing to stand up, Long Yan transmitted a message to him once again, stopping him.

Seeing that Li Xingyun did not immediately object, a hint of a smile appeared in Lan Tianming’s eyes as if to say: It’s good you know your place.

“Does anyone else object?”

Qi Feng spoke again, his gaze still fixed on Li Xingyun.

“Final call, does anyone object to the Deputy Palace Master assuming the Palace Master’s position?”

Qi Feng spoke for the third time.

If, after the third call no one objected, Lan Tianming would be able to successfully ascend to the Palace Master’s throne.

The room fell silent, everyone’s gaze at this moment was focused on Lan Tianming, waiting to see him ascend to the Palace Master’s position, as it was the result everyone expected.

Li Xingyun’s face was ashen.

If Long Yan hadn’t stopped him, he would have stood up to object by now, even if it cost him his life.

Long Yan maintained his composure.

“Since no one has any objections, I now declare that the Deputy Palace Master will henceforth be the…”

Yet, just before the words “New Palace Master” could escape Qi Feng’s lips, an unexpected voice echoed.

“I object.”

Three simple words, not uttered loudly, yet they echoed like a startling thunderclap in everyone’s ears.

At this very moment, Lan Tianming, who had just been about to sit on the Palace Master’s throne, froze.

His expression darkened, his gaze landing instantly on Long Yan.

In his eyes, a trace of murderous intent flashed inconspicuously.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned towards Long Yan, as though they were staring at a monster.

In such a gathering, who would ever dare to say such words?

How bold does one have to be?
