Chapter 2873: Chapter 2893: As Soon as I Entered, I Became the Sect Master?

With confusion, Lin Chen walked towards the mountain gate.

At the entrance, a disciple of Haoran Sect stopped Lin Chen, "Fellow cultivator, where do you come from?"

Lin Chen bowed and said, "I am Lin Chen, here to look for someone. I wonder if there are any fellow cultivators from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain in your sect?"

The disciple suddenly widened his eyes with a face full of surprise and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, are you also from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, the Daoist couple of Gu Xianzi, Yao Xianzi, and others?"

Lin Chen nodded his head, "Yes, it’s me, they..."

Before Lin Chen could finish, the disciple had already respectfully lifted his hand to salute, "I have seen the Sect Master!"

Ah?

Lin Chen was stunned, was he hearing things?

Did he just call me Sect Master?

Lin Chen asked confusedly, "You’re calling me... Sect Master?"

The disciple respectfully said, "Yes, we have always been waiting for the arrival of the Sect Master, it has been many years!"

Lin Chen looked baffled, "I have just arrived; how have I become your Haoran Sect’s Sect Master?"

The disciple respectfully said, "Please follow me, I will immediately inform the sect’s high-ranking members to come and welcome the Sect Master, they will explain everything to the Sect Master."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble!"

Lin Chen was respectfully led into the gate by the Haoran Sect disciple, while another disciple immediately sent a message to the senior management.

"Clang!"

An imposing bell suddenly rang Between Heaven and Earth, sounding six times in a row.

As the bell rang, figures flew out from various parts of the sect toward the direction of the Sect Hall, quickly assembling.

Is this a full sect assembly?

Lin Chen was still wondering when familiar figures appeared; they were Gu Yuexi, whom he had parted with decades ago, along with the couple, Yao Xiong and Lan Xinyu, and also Lu Yao.

"Brother Chen!"

Yao Xuanji and the other women came up joyfully, and Gu Yuexi almost rushed directly into Lin Chen’s arms, but at the last moment, remembering the many Haoran Sect disciples around, she quickly stopped herself.

"You’ve finally arrived!"

Lin Chen swept his gaze over everyone and saw that everyone was smiling; his previously faint worries evaporated.

Everyone is safe and sound; that’s good!

Lin Chen greeted everyone with a smile, and at that moment, a group of men and women dressed in Haoran Sect clothes with a dignified demeanor came forward and bowed in unison.

"Sect Master!"

Under their lead, the over a thousand gathered sect internal disciples all bowed to Lin Chen.

"We have seen the Sect Master!"

Lin Chen spread his hands and laughed, "Can someone explain what is going on? How have I become the Sect Master just upon my arrival?"

Gu Yuexi, smilingly said, "Brother, just go along with it for now. We can explain slowly later."

Lin Chen, having been accustomed to significant events, was not overwhelmed by the crowd; since Gu Yuexi suggested going along and no one around objected, Lin Chen didn’t make further comments.

"Everyone, go about your duties. Once I understand the situation, we can talk again!"

Having dismissed many disciples, Lin Chen was led by everyone into the Main Hall and was invited to take the Sect Master’s seat.

Lin Chen patted the armrest of the chair and laughed, "I have been the Junior Martial Uncle of a Xianmen Sect Master, and the Junior Brother of a Sect Leader, but this is the first time I’ve become a Sect Master, and under such mysterious circumstances at that. Who will explain it to me?"

Yao Xuanji crisply replied, "Appointed by the War God Mansion."

Lin Chen, surprised, turned his head to look at Yao Xuanji, "Shepherd Heavenly Monarch? When did this happen? Have you met with him?"

Yao Xiong answered, "After we arrived, we found a secluded place to live, not far from the War God Mansion, just to wait for you, fearing that you might arrive and fail to find us. We went to the War God Mansion to inquire if you had arrived."

"We initially just cautiously asked around indirectly, but unexpectedly, the War God Mansion took it very seriously; they actually invited us into the War God Mansion."

"After confirming our relationship with you, and that you would later arrive in the Crimson Immortal Domain, the War God Mansion issued the appointment, appointing you as the Sect Master of Haoran Sect, and also allowed us to enter Haoran Sect to wait for you..."

Lin Chen asked with a curious expression, "Why would Shepherd Heavenly Monarch appoint me as the Sect Master of Haoran Sect? Can an outsider just appoint the master of a Xianmen?"

A middle-aged beautiful woman stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Sect Master might not be aware, but due to confrontations with the Demon Race, the Crimson Immortal Domain manages cultivators in a militaristic manner. Haoran Sect is also part of the War God Mansion. After the great war between immortals and demons, aside from the core team that was retained, the rest of the cultivators were distributed into countless sects for independent development."

"The War God Mansion has jurisdiction and appointment authority over all sects. Previously, our Sect Master of Haoran Sect was sacrificed while leading a mission, so the position was temporarily vacant. We reported this to the War God Mansion and asked it to appoint a new Sect Master. Then, six years ago, we received orders from the War God Mansion appointing Fellow Lin as the new Sect Master of Haoran Sect..."

Lin Chen finally started to understand.

Militarized management?

This Haoran Sect is like a military unit, and I’m the parachuted-in commander?
