Invincible starts with predatory terms

And so, in these past few days, Yang Fan experienced feelings he had never felt before.

In these few days, he barely closed his eyes.

Every day was filled with endless tasks, some related to the promotion ceremony, some to the sect merger, and some to the establishment of the three great halls.

Moreover, many disciples, seeing that Yang Fan was almost always in the main hall these days, came to him to ask questions about their cultivation.

Yang Fan felt it was impolite to refuse these sect disciples.

After all, he finally had this opportunity and didn't want to disappoint them.

On the night before the grand ceremony, Yang Fan finished the last task and stretched lazily.

"Finally, it's done," he said.

Just then, Elder Lianxu arrived.

Looking at Yang Fan's appearance, he smiled and said, "How does Sect Leader feel these past few days?"

Yang Fan said, "It's really tiring, but also quite fulfilling. I didn't expect that being a Sect Leader involves handling so many things every day. It seems I'm really not a qualified Sect Leader." After speaking, he shook his head.

Then, looking at Elder Lianxu, he said, "Thank you for your hard work all these years."

Elder Lianxu shook his head. "Sect Leader, you are too kind. Being able to contribute to the sect is what I've always sought."

Yang Fan simply smiled and asked, "Is there something you need, Elder Lianxu?"

Only then did Elder Lianxu say, "I'm here today for tomorrow's promotion ceremony."

"Oh? Isn't everything already taken care of? Is there anything else?"

"Sect Leader may not know, but I just received news that a group of veteran Earth-grade sects will be coming to observe the ceremony tomorrow," Elder Lianxu said.

"Oh? Isn't that a good thing?" Yang Fan asked.

Elder Lianxu said, "I received news from my friend that several sects coming tomorrow have ill intentions."

It turned out that not all of the sects coming tomorrow were there to offer congratulations.

You must know that the Six Regions Great War selection competition is about to begin, and Xuanqing Sect is being promoted to an Earth-grade sect at this time.

With such great power, naturally, some people will be unwilling to have such an opponent in the upcoming selection competition.

Therefore, this observation ceremony was arranged.

Though named an observation ceremony, it is actually a demonstration of power.

Hearing this, Yang Fan sneered. "If they want to use my Xuanqing Sect as a stepping stone, I'm afraid they'll end up hurting themselves more than their enemy."

He then said to Elder Lianxu, "I am aware of this matter. Elder Lianxu, rest assured, if they dare to take any improper actions tomorrow, I will make them regret it."

Only then did Elder Lianxu nod. "With the Sect Leader in charge, I am naturally relieved. I just came to inform you."

Afterward, Yang Fan asked, "Do you know which sects will be coming tomorrow?"

Elder Lianxu said, "Those I know of are Tianming Sect, Baihua Valley, Bixiao Sect, Taixuan Sect, Gudao Sect, Wanshen Temple, and Blood God Hall."

They were all forces that were neither at the top nor at the bottom of the Earth-grade sects. After all, the weak wouldn't dare to cause trouble, and the strong wouldn't bother to come.

Yang Fan said, "I understand. I will pay attention. Elder Lianxu, go back and rest early. We will still need your help tomorrow."

Elder Lianxu took his leave.

Yang Fan sat alone in the main seat, muttering, "I hope you don't misjudge the situation, or else…"

Time quickly passed to the next day.

On this day, Xuanqing Sect was decorated with lanterns and streamers, a scene of great joy.

Yang Fan and the others had arrived at the main hall early in the morning. At this moment, everyone was chatting.

Suddenly, a disciple outside the door announced loudly, "The Sect Leader of Tianming Sect has arrived to observe the ceremony!"

Everyone saw a middle-aged man enter the main hall. This man was wearing a purple robe and had a kind face.

As soon as he entered the hall, he cupped his fist at Yang Fan, who was in the main seat, and smiled, "This humble Taoist is Xuan Mingzi from Tianming Sect, here to congratulate Xuanqing Sect on its promotion to Earth-grade sect."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "It is an honor for our Xuanqing Sect to have Daoist Xuan Mingzi's presence. Please, take a seat."

Xuan Mingzi didn't say much and went to sit in his seat.

At this time, they heard the disciple shout again, "The Valley Master of Baihua Valley has arrived to observe the ceremony!" Everyone saw a woman enter the main hall.

As soon as this woman arrived, all the men present couldn't take their eyes off her.

This person was wearing a colorful robe, holding a folding fan in her hand, covering half of her face.

But even with only half of her face revealed, she was still stunningly beautiful, her eyes like emerald pools filled with autumn charm.

This person gave a slight curtsy and said, "This little girl is Ziyan from Baihua Valley, here to congratulate Xuanqing Sect on its promotion to Earth-grade."

Yang Fan also said with a smile, "Daoist Ziyan is truly a beauty of unparalleled grace. It's truly wonderful to have you at my Xuanqing Sect. Please, take a seat."

Ziyan then sat next to Xuan Mingzi and began to converse with him. It seemed that the two knew each other.

Then, they heard the disciple outside the door shout, "The Sect Leader of Bixiao Sect has arrived to observe the ceremony!"

Everyone looked and saw a young man enter the main hall. As soon as this person entered, the female disciples present were about to swoon.

Because this person deserved the description of a jade-like gentleman, peerless in the world.

This person smiled and said, "I am Han Wusheng, the Sect Leader of Bixiao Sect, congratulating Xuanqing Sect on its promotion."

Yang Fan simply repeated the same words as before.

Then Han Wusheng went to sit next to Ziyan, without saying much to the two of them.

Then the disciple outside the door shouted again, "The Sect Master of Taixuan Sect has arrived to observe the ceremony!"

Everyone saw an old Taoist with an immortal air enter the main hall.

This person was wearing a Taoist robe, exuding an ethereal aura, with a kind face, but when you wanted to see him clearly, you couldn't see him clearly.

He seemed to have a mass of Taoist magic flowing around him, hindering all prying eyes.

When Han Wusheng and the other three saw this person coming, their expressions also became serious.

After Yang Fan noticed this, he thought to himself that this person's strength was not weak.

At this time, the old Taoist bowed to Yang Fan and said, "This humble Taoist is Wuji Sanren from Taixuan Sect, here to congratulate Xuanqing Sect on its promotion."

Yang Fan laughed and said, "It is truly an honor for my Xuanqing Sect to have Daoist Wuji's presence. Please, take a seat."

The old Taoist went to his seat, and when Han Wusheng and the other three saw the Taoist coming over, they all stood up and cupped their fists.

The old Taoist simply waved his hand and sat down in his seat to drink wine, praising as he drank, "Good wine!"

Yang Fan withdrew his gaze.

At this time, they heard the disciple shout again, "The Priest of Wanshen Temple, the Hall Master of Blood God Hall has arrived to observe the ceremony!"

This time, two people actually came together.

Everyone saw two middle-aged men enter the main hall. The one on the left was wearing an expensive robe made of some unknown material, exuding a feeling that no one should approach him.

This person said faintly to Yang Fan, "I am Tongshen, the Priest of Wanshen Temple, here to congratulate you." After speaking, he said nothing more.

And the one next to him, wearing a blood-red robe, unlike a righteous cultivator, laughed strangely at this time and said, "I am Shasheng, the Hall Master of Blood God Hall, here to congratulate Xuanqing Sect on its promotion." After speaking, he laughed strangely again.

Yang Fan frowned. Although he didn't like these two people very much, they had come to offer congratulations after all.

So he also said, "It's my honor that you two have come. Please, take a seat."

The two went to sit down together.

At this time, Yang Fan looked outside the main hall. "That should be the last one."
