Chapter 1175: Chapter 1172: The Inauguration Ceremony!_1 Chapter 1175: Chapter 1172: The Inauguration Ceremony!_1 “Who on earth is this new Young Master Feng of Changlin Peak, acting so high and mighty?”

“Yeah, I remember that there wasn’t such a big fuss when the Young Master Feng of Yunhu Peak was established. They just invited a few people from the outer peaks as a courtesy…”

“When Changlin Peak’s previous Young Master Feng was established, they didn’t even invite people from the outer peaks. I don’t know what went wrong this time.”

Several disciples dressed in Baihe Peak attire muttered, holding various gifts in their hands, clearly here to offer congratulations.

An elder in front of them heard their complaints and sternly reprimanded, “Cut the nonsense, or people might hear you and start gossiping. Keep in mind that this new Young Master Feng of Changlin Peak is no ordinary person. Our Jin Shi Great Emperor even personally invited him to join Baihe Peak, although he failed in the end. But this person has an extraordinary background and has some connections with our ancestor. It’s only right for us to offer such generous gifts. If you cause any trouble with your idle chit-chat, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Hearing their elder’s words, the disciples dared not say anything more and closed their mouths.

It wasn’t just the people from the outer peaks who were confused; many of Changlin Peak’s own disciples were puzzled as well.

Many disciples didn’t even know what was going on since some of the old-timers from Changlin Peak had clear memories of the last Junior Peak Master’s establishment. At that time, the ceremony was simply a small-scale event, followed by the announcement of the news.

And this time? All the disciples and elders of Changlin Peak had to participate, except for those who had to stay at their posts. Anyone who didn’t attend would be charged with a serious crime.

The scale of this event was just like the inauguration of a new peak master.

After all, the establishment of a new peak master was a treatment reserved for the Great Emperors themselves.

With the arrival of many big names from other outer peaks to offer their gifts, many people were even more amazed.

“That’s Yunhu Peak’s Wei Zheng and Lin Hao. They are said to be among the top five of the Four Peaks.”

“Isn’t that Su Yao from Taqing Peak? My goodness, she’s considered the pride of Northern Territory Sect and ranked first among the Four Peaks. She rarely appears in public and yet she’s here, too.”

“Our new Junior Peak Master should be their peer, right?”

“What kind of peer could make them offer gifts?”

Du Haicheng was also completely taken aback by the scene he saw today as he followed his father Du Zhangfei to attend the ceremony.

“Father, do you have any information about this new Junior Peak Master? This scale is too big.”

Du Zhangfei stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then shook his head: “I don’t know anything about it.”

Du Haicheng paused slightly, and suddenly felt that his father’s role in Changlin Peak might not be as high as he had imagined.

His father was not privy to the inner circle’s affairs.

Besides, the scale of the event was not as large as he had imagined.

“Haicheng, this new Junior Peak Master is not an ordinary person, even though his sudden appointment seems to be. For someone like a Great Emperor to make this decision, it certainly can’t have been made casually. In the future, you must be more careful in your actions. Remember to please this Junior Peak Master. If we can win his favor, our Du family’s position in Changlin Peak will be secured!”

“Father, I understand.” Du Haicheng nodded hurriedly. He was aware that although his Du family held significant influence in Changlin Peak, it was insignificant in the eyes of the real high-level members of Changlin Peak.

They were still on the periphery.

Time passed, and almost everyone who was to attend the inauguration ceremony had arrived.

At that moment, Hua Wu Great Emperor stepped forward, emitting an overwhelming aura that startled everyone present, feeling an urge to submit in the face of his oppressive presence.

Hua Wu Great Emperor’s appearance silenced the entire scene.

This was the result he intended.

He swept his gaze over the crowd without expression, then suddenly burst into a loud laugh, “Thank you all for attending the inauguration ceremony of our Changlin Peak’s new Junior Peak Master today. I am greatly pleased, because you are all showing respect to me, Hua Wu Great Emperor, as well as to the new Junior Peak Master of our Changlin Peak.”

After these words were spoken, Wang Tong, who was standing by, solemnly followed up: “Now, please welcome our new Junior Peak Master of Changlin Peak to the stage!”

Hearing this, Yang Chen immediately stood up.

When Yang Chen appeared, the entire crowd burst into an uproar, but some areas suddenly fell silent.

For example, the area where Qin Xueru was standing.

As a disciple of Changlin Peak, Qin Xueru was also ordered to attend Yang Chen’s inauguration ceremony. However, she didn’t know that Yang Chen was the new Junior Peak Master. If she had known, she would not have been able to remain calm.

Of course, she couldn’t stay calm now.

She had actually befriended the Junior Peak Master of Changlin Peak, a figure so high above, and he had even saved her life before.

Qin Xueru felt her face flush and slightly dizzy, as if she had been struck hard in the head by something.

No wonder, no wonder Yang Chen said he didn’t need to leave Changlin Peak. She thought he was just putting on a brave front, but now she finally realized that he was telling the truth. With his strength, there was no need to leave Changlin Peak at all. Compared to the Junior Peak Master, Young Master Cheng’s position and status didn’t amount to anything.

She was delighted, but some people couldn’t be happy about it.

For example, her friends who had already severed ties with her.

When Qin Xueru’s friends saw that the new Junior Peak Master of Changlin Peak was Yang Chen, who they had just insulted and looked down upon, their faces turned pale.

“This can’t be true. He must be lying. How could it be him?”

“How could he possibly be the Junior Peak Master?”

“Could there be a mistake? He is the one we’ve severed ties with, and he is the Junior Peak Master. If only I had been kinder to him at that time…”

Lin Shuang stood in the crowd, and when she saw that the new Junior Peak Master was Yang Chen, she regretted her decisions. Considering her attitude towards Yang Chen back then and his current high position, she felt as if she had let a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip through her fingers.

If only she had been more supportive of Yang Chen back then, if only she had stood more firmly by Qin Xueru’s side, maybe she wouldn’t have been so regretful now.

But what choice did she make back then?

She couldn’t help but ask: “Which one has a higher status, Young Master Cheng or the Junior Peak Master?”

“Are you an idiot? Of course, it’s the Junior Peak Master!”

“Can Young Master Cheng even compare to the Junior Peak Master? The Junior Peak Master could potentially take over the position of the Peak Master or at least be the Peak Master’s successor.”

Even ordinary disciples like them could see that, so Du Haicheng could see it even more clearly.

When he saw Yang Chen standing on the stage, Du Haicheng’s face turned pale!
