Chapter 2881: Chapter 2901: Sect Master’s Pep Talk: Let me hype you up!

In the hall, the lamplight shone brightly.

Several tables were laden with all kinds of delicious dishes, and fine wine wafted through the air, with the senior management, backbone, and elites of the sect all in attendance.

Before Lin Chen even reached the entrance of the hall, a disciple greeted him from afar, calling out, "The Sect Master has arrived!"

"Splash!"

Everyone who had been seated stood up in unison, and the Deputy Sect Master seated at the head of the table, along with all the Hall Masters and Deputy Hall Masters, all stood up and walked to the entrance of the hall to welcome Lin Chen.

When they saw Lin Chen, they were all slightly stunned.

They had taken into account Lin Chen’s family when planning the banquet and, although there hadn’t been much contact over the years, they could vaguely sense that this group of people was not weak in strength.

Inviting the Sect Master to a banquet naturally meant not leaving out his family, but why had only Lin Chen come alone, smiling and swinging his hands?

Where were the others?

"Sect Master!"

Deputy Sect Master Chen Shuihe took the lead in saluting, and everyone bowed their hands, their etiquette impeccable.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I am late. You’ve been waiting for a while."

Enforcement Hall Master Chi Ya asked, "Sect Master, where is your family? Why are you alone?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "My family is large and can be noisy and inappropriate. Today, let’s just gather and chat among ourselves, there’s no need to worry about them."

Chi Ya laughed, "Gathering everyone together is all about the liveliness; there’s nothing inappropriate about it. The Sect Master is overthinking."

Lin Chen waved his hand, "I only briefly met everyone before and didn’t have the chance to get to know you well. This evening is a good opportunity to chat. They can make their own arrangements."

Seeing Lin Chen insist, Chi Ya changed her approach, "The banquet is all prepared. How about I send the disciples to deliver the feast to the manor? What do you think, Sect Master?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen replied, "Alright, send it over. Let’s not waste it."

Chi Ya nodded and extended her hand, "Sect Master, please."

Lin Chen was invited to the head of the table, and without any reservation, he took his seat directly.

No matter how others viewed him or what he would do in the future, he was now the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, and that was an absolute certainty. Therefore, he saw no need to be deferential.

Too much modesty and deference would not make people think you are polite; instead, they might think you lack ability or are cowardly!

After some pleasantries, Chen Shuihe stood up, his voice loud and clear, "Our Haoran Sect was once an elite force of the War God Temple, but ended up being unloved and uncared for, especially after the former Sect Master had an incident, we became even less regarded. Going out, we were looked down upon."

"As the Deputy Sect Master, it pained me to see this situation, but my power was limited and I could not bring about change. Now, thankfully, we finally have a new Sect Master."

"The Sect Master may be young, but he has earned this position through genuine military achievements. In the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, he encountered the vanguard troops of the Demon Race, who wanted to establish a teleportation formation, bypass the Crimson Immortal Domain, and directly transport a large force of the Demon Race to attack the rear of the Immortal Realm from the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, turning it into their main base. However, their plans were completely destroyed by our Sect Master."

"The Sect Master engaged with the Demon Race three times, not only destroying their teleportation formation but also foiling their plans to rebuild it. Ultimately, he even located the leading Quasi-Saint of the Demon Race and assisted the cultivators of the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain in killing him, completely shattering the Demon Race’s scheme."

"I believe that after the coming of the Sect Master, the current predicament of our Haoran Sect will certainly be broken, and we will be able to reclaim our past glory!"

Many disciples in the hall had their eyes lit up, and their gazes suddenly turned fervent.

"Now, please listen to the Sect Master’s speech!"

Lin Chen looked at Chen Shuihe, his mind uncertain. Was he genuinely expecting him to bring change to the Haoran Sect, or was he simply puffing him up, setting him on the fire?

Praising himself for how capable and esteemed by the War God Temple he was, if he couldn’t accomplish anything later on or fail to bring any change, how could he continue to face everyone as the Sect Master, amidst their disappointment?

Lin Chen stood up with a warm smile and said with a laugh, "Vice Sect Master Chen’s words have almost sent me to the skies; I almost couldn’t come down..."

After smoothly segueing with that comment, which elicited laughter among the people, Lin Chen changed the topic, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Chen, hailing from a small place you wouldn’t know the name of. I’m not old, but along the way, I’ve experienced quite a bit."

"Before reaching the state of an Immortal, I served as the Human Emperor, rebuilding the Ascension Channel and mediating the millennia-old grudge between the Human Clan and the demon race. Above the state of Immortal, I’ve stopped the invasion of the High-ranked Immortal Realm’s Daluo Immortal Sect, shattered their conspiracy to annex and gather the Immortal Domains - overcoming the strong despite being weak and ensuring the independence of the Immortal Domain."

"Above Daluo, I haven’t really done any good deeds. I’ve acted willfully, offending people everywhere, offending the big shots of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain one by one, almost without exception. Having no choice, I ran to the Crimson Immortal Domain, planning to look for opportunities in the Immortal-Demon War, and that’s how I have the fate of gathering with everyone here today..."
