Chapter 179: Saintess!
There were a total of 36 halls in the Heavenly Demon Sect.
There were a total of 36 Hall Masters.
Each Hall Master had to reach the Transcending Tribulation Realm before they were qualified to become Hall Masters. In addition to the elders of the main sect, there were probably 40 to 50 Transcending Tribulation Realm experts in the Heavenly Demon Sect.
A large sect formed from 40 to 50 Transcending Tribulation Realm experts was indeed terrifying.
One had to know that before he was born, the highest combat strength of Ye Chen and the others in that tiny Immortal Destiny Holy Land was only at the Deva Realm.
One could imagine how terrifying the power of this Heavenly Demon Sect was.
However, even so, it did not matter to Ye Chen.
What he wanted was not to go against the entire Heavenly Demon Sect.
All he wanted was to find his senior sister.
As long as the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Transcending Tribulation Realm experts did not surround him, even if the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect came personally, he would not be able to kill him.
“Have you been to the headquarters of your Heavenly Demon Sect?” Ye Chen looked at Shangguan Xueyan and asked.
Shangguan Xueyan nodded and said, “I’ve only been there once. That time was three years ago, during the welcoming ceremony of the Saintess. The Sect Master told all of our Hall Masters to come back and welcome the Saintess.
“That time, I also saw our Sect Master up close. His strength is so terrifying that even a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert would feel it.”
Ye Chen was a little shocked when he heard that.
“The Saintess of your Heavenly Demon Sect?” Ye Chen looked at Shangguan Xueyan and asked.
“Yes, three years ago, the Sect Master suddenly found her daughter, who is also the Saintess of our Heavenly Demon Sect. This is the biggest feast of our Heavenly Demon Sect. All of our Hall Masters have been recalled to hold the welcoming ceremony for the Saintess!” Shangguan Xueyan immediately said.
As expected of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
This Saintess had enough cards to play. She actually called back thirty-six Hall Masters to hold this welcoming ceremony for her. It seemed that this Saintess was quite popular with the Sect Master.
However, Ye Chen understood one thing.
This Saintess was probably the reverse scale of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.
The three of them continued to head south.
They flew on the sword for a few days.
Finally, they arrived at South Bright City.
The three of them landed on their flying swords.
They saw a huge city standing in front of them.
They wondered if they could find their Third Senior Sister here.
Ye Chen asked, “Who is the City Lord of South Bright City?”
Shangguan Xueyan followed behind Ye Chen and immediately said, “The City Lord of South Bright City is called Wu Tianxiang. He is an expert in the middle stage of the Transcending Tribulation Realm and is very powerful.”
“How is he compared to you?” Ye Chen continued to ask.
“He is naturally much stronger than me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to become the City Lord of South Bright City,” Shangguan Xueyan continued to say.
Ye Chen was somewhat shocked.
The power of the Heavenly Demon Sect had already infiltrated the imperial court.
Now, the entire Eastern Imperial Kingdom had been infiltrated by the Heavenly Demon Sect. This was not a good thing. Even if the Heavenly Demon Sect did not interfere in the politics of the imperial court, for such a power to infiltrate the imperial court, it meant that the entire imperial court…was probably riddled with holes.
Moreover, the strength of the Demonic Cult meant something.
Compared to the righteous path, people chose to believe in the Demonic Cult more.
In other words, the righteous path could no longer support the righteousness in people’s hearts. That was why the Demonic Cult had flourished.
For example, Ye Chen had seen the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slayer’s tale in his previous life. At that time, the Empire of the Yuan dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Only then did the Ming Sect have the opportunity to gradually develop. In the end, they used the Ming Sect as the foundation to develop into the Great Ming Dynasty.
If the rules were all like this, it meant that the empire of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was on the verge of collapse.
He did not know how his cheap father had become the emperor.
Ye Chen was not interested in caring so much.
In short, whether the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was destroyed or the Demonic Sect was eradicated, it had nothing to do with him.
What he needed to do was to find his senior sisters.
Live a happy life with them.
He entered the city.
The entire city was bustling.
There were huge skyscrapers.
Although this was a city that was relatively far away from the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, it was incomparably bustling.
There were people everywhere, and it was very crowded.
At this moment, Ye Chen saw rows and rows of troops patrolling the streets.
Moreover, the discipline was very strict.
This also meant that South Bright City was indeed well-managed.
It was even more prosperous than Mo Shuang City.
Ye Chen found a teahouse and sat down.
The Teahouse was the best place to gather information.
Ye Chen slowly sat down. At this moment, he heard the people beside him discussing.
“Have you heard? The Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sect will be holding a marriage tournament in a few days.” A person in the teahouse said.
“Matchmaking contest?”
“That’s right. According to the rumors, the matchmaking contest this time is to find the strongest person in the world and inherit the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Sect. In other words, the winner of this matchmaking contest is likely to become the next Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Even Shangguan Xueyan was shocked.
“Isn’t the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect doing well? Why did he elect the next leader?” Someone asked in confusion.
“You don’t know yet. I heard that the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to ascend!”
