Chapter 2882: Chapter 2902: Reshaping the Glory of Haoran!

Lin Chen spoke confidently, and everyone listened closely, their expressions growing increasingly subtle as they heard more.

Hearing of his experiences, was Lin Chen not some genius from a wealthy family but rather someone who made his way step by step from a humble place?

Considering the feats he accomplished, even without becoming an immortal, he became a Human Emperor, rebuilt the Ascension Channel, and mediated the millennia-long grudge between the Human Clan and the demon race—could an ordinary person achieve all this?

From what he mentioned about beings above immortals, it’s clear he was not yet a Daluo Immortal at the time; he must have been in a Mid-Grade Immortal Realm, resisting invasions from the high-ranked Immortal Realm’s wealthy families—and he succeeded?

Daluo Immortals have a dominant advantage over Mid-Grade Immortal Realms, able to annihilate immortals with a wave of the hand. How did he manage that?

But the most outrageous claim was yet to come; he said he had offended all the big shots of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, and yet here he is, alive and well, not missing an arm or a leg. Are the big shots of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain really that benevolent?

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "My strength isn’t particularly high—if you only consider strength, I’m definitely not qualified to be the Sect Master. But, still, there are some things I’m good at. There’s a saying: ’Each to their position, seeking their own duties.’ Since I’ve been appointed as the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, naturally I have the responsibility to make the Haoran Sect better."

"As a new arrival, I don’t yet fully understand the Haoran Sect. However, having just heard what Vice Sect Master Chen said, the Haoran Sect has a glorious history, and I’m honored to be here. I hope that in the coming time, together with everyone present, we will work hard to change the current situation and restore the Haoran’s glory."

Lin Chen’s last sentence was like a spark thrown into an oil pan, causing an explosive reaction.

Some disciples shouted loudly, "Restore Haoran’s glory!"

Countless others repeated in unison, "Restore Haoran’s glory!"

The whole hall was instantly enveloped in a passionate, blood-boiling atmosphere as Lin Chen’s gaze swept over those Haoran Sect disciples with shining eyes, and a long-lost feeling surged in his heart.

This passion, this blood-boiling enthusiasm, this roar—wasn’t it just like when he and his comrades were spiritedly fighting to protect their country?

They were cultivators, but they were also soldiers!

They undertook the heavy responsibility of protecting the Immortal Realm and resisting the Demon Race, daring to fight to the death, daring to battle, daring to sacrifice, seeing all these as honor.

Seeing this scene, every Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master at the main table was moved, and their views on Lin Chen began to shift once more.

Previously, they only knew of Lin Chen’s military achievements and his appointment as the Sect Master of Haoran Sect, but they didn’t actually understand the man.

At their first meeting, they only felt he was so young, and naturally, doubts arose in their hearts. Although he had made contributions, his strength couldn’t be that high. Did he have the ability to lead the Haoran Sect?

Now, at their second meeting, as they listened to Lin Chen’s understated recounting of his past, everyone was shocked. Did Lin Chen really have such experiences?

If what Lin Chen said was true, setting aside his personal strength, his leadership ability must be incredibly formidable, right? Otherwise, how could he become a Human Emperor?

Putting strength and realm aside, no matter how strong the disciples of the Haoran Sect might be, numbering over a thousand, what is a Human Emperor but a leader commanding countless cultivators, who at one command, would charge into battle, unafraid to lay down their lives?

After the crowd repeated the chant several times, Lin Chen, having released his emotions, gestured with his hand and said with a laugh, "One thing at a time. Today is for eating and drinking. Everyone, eat and drink to your heart’s content. When it’s time to exert ourselves, we will all put forth our strength and fight hard!"

The many disciples responded with a thunderous agreement and then sat down.

Chen Shanshui and others exchanged looks, their eyes filled with surprise.

Despite his young age and not being very powerful, Lin Chen sure knew how to speak well.

He didn’t put himself above others just because he was the Sect Master. Instead, he deliberately lowered his stance, placing himself at the same level as everyone else. He said "we together," not "you,"—which disciple wouldn’t be pleased or convinced by this?

It seems they had all underestimated him before!

However, to be a good Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, it’s not enough to just chant slogans. You need to demonstrate convincing true skills. Otherwise, a giant in words but a dwarf in action will ultimately be despised.

After Lin Chen finished speaking, the banquet officially began.

Many senior members came up to toast Lin Chen, who welcomed them all but also didn’t just drink; before having drinks with each person, Lin Chen would learn about their general situation, position, and even casually inquire about their current status.

Although it was a drinking party, it subtly turned into something akin to a work report meeting. Of course, Lin Chen kept a good sense of proportion, merely skimming over the general situation but not delving into details—otherwise, the wine would indeed become undrinkable.

When it was Xiong Yaxiong, the Artifact Refining Hall Master’s turn, he finished his toast and then took the initiative to ask, "Sect Master, you had never been to the Crimson Immortal Domain before, yet the Hall Master directly appointed you as the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect. Did you know him beforehand?"
