Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 161 - 112: Defense Array and Killing Array, Merged as One, the Array Is Complete!
The crowd was all talking at once.
Lin Changkong was startled, lifting his head abruptly. His whole body trembled, as if he had heard some heartening news, and stared blankly at these newly arrived junior brothers and sisters. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"What are you saying? What Saint Heir of Array Peak? What top ten in the Array Battle Tournament?"
Because there were too many people speaking at once, Lin Changkong didn’t catch everything clearly, but he managed to capture some key information amidst the chaotic conversation.
Looking at the expression on Lin Changkong’s face, some old students of the Divine Sword Sect signaled the crowd to quiet down. When Ye Xiaofan’s achievements were mentioned, these older students seemed even more excited than the person himself.
Once the crowd quieted down, an extraordinary genius with some prestige slowly walked out from the group.
"Senior Brother Lin, are you looking for an Array Master?" asked the old student disciple of the Divine Sword Sect.
Seeing the expressions of everyone around, Lin Changkong slightly trembled, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation: "Junior brothers, what were you just saying? Saint Heir of Array Peak? Top ten in the Array Battle Tournament?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin, Junior Brother Ye is indeed the Saint Heir of Array Peak. Although he is the heir to the South Peak Sword Saint senior, he is also the newly appointed Saint Heir of Array Peak."
After finishing his part, the old student disciple continued, "Junior Brother Ye not only became the Saint Heir of Array Peak but also participated in the Array Battle Tournament. However, halfway through the tournament, he suddenly withdrew for some unknown reason. Even so, Junior Brother Ye still made it into the top ten."
"Not only did Junior Brother Ye make it into the top ten, but he was also personally chosen by the old Peak Master of Array Peak to become the Saint Heir, inheriting the Array Dao legacy of Array Peak from endless ages past," someone added.
As soon as these words fell.
Lin Changkong stood there in shock, his mind full of questions: "Saint Heir of Array Peak? Top ten in the Array Battle Tournament? Isn’t Junior Brother Ye a disciple of South Sword Peak? How could he be the Saint Heir of Array Peak?"
This didn’t make sense. A Sword Peak disciple, even if they are an heir to South Peak, shouldn’t be able to become the Saint Heir of Array Peak, should they?
For a moment, Lin Changkong couldn’t help but look at the ten or so Array Peak disciples standing aside.
A dozen of them nodded unanimously and said, "Junior Brother Ye is indeed our Saint Heir. Moreover, in the Array Battle Tournament, Junior Brother Ye manifested the complete ’Triple Annihilation Array’ and truly received the legacy of the old Peak Master. The old Peak Master once said that Junior Brother Ye’s Array Dao talent is equal to that of any current disciple of Array Peak."
The crowd not only truthfully reported but also briefly recounted how Ye Xiaofan, by a stroke of luck, participated in the Array Peak Array Battle Tournament and how he rose to fame during it.
After listening, Lin Changkong started breathing heavily, his gaze slowly shifted to a different direction where a figure stood at some distance away.
"So you’re saying, Junior Brother Ye is also an Array Master?" Lin Changkong asked with eyes full of excitement and joy.
"Junior Brother Ye is more than just an Array Master; he’s an exceedingly terrifying one. The ’Triple Annihilation Array’ he set up was from over a year ago."
"And during this past year, dozens of the most senior Elders of Array Peak have been imparting their knowledge. But the extent of Junior Brother Ye’s Array Dao expertise now remains unknown," the ten or so Array Peak disciples said, shaking their heads, their eyes filled with respect and admiration.
Hearing this, Lin Changkong was already breathing heavily, his eyes filled with excitement, and walked quickly towards that figure.
Lin Changkong came to stand in front of Ye Xiaofan but didn’t speak right away, instead continuing to breathe heavily while scanning Ye Xiaofan up and down.
"Senior Brother Lin? What’s wrong?" Ye Xiaofan felt uncomfortable under Lin Changkong’s excited gaze; just a moment ago, he hadn’t heard the conversation between Lin Changkong and the others, so he had no idea what was going on.
But Lin Changkong, full of anticipation, asked, "Junior Brother Ye, you... you are the Saint Heir of Array Peak? Top ten in the Array Battle Tournament? And you received the Array Peak’s endless ages of legacy?"
Ye Xiaofan frowned slightly upon hearing this, glancing at the other Divine Sword Sect disciples nearby. But when he saw the eagerness in Lin Changkong’s eyes, looking for an answer,
"Senior Brother, don’t misunderstand. I am merely temporarily serving as the Saint Heir of Array Peak. Strictly speaking, I cannot be considered the true Saint Heir of Array Peak," Ye Xiaofan honestly responded.
These things were not secrets in the Divine Sword Sect, so even if he wanted to hide it, it was clearly unrealistic.
But the moment Ye Xiaofan finished speaking, Lin Changkong tightly grabbed him, his gaze even more excited, "So it’s true then? You actually are the Saint Heir of Array Peak? This is wonderful, this is wonderful, the Elders haven’t overlooked our needs, this is wonderful, this is wonderful, we have an Array Master now."
Lin Changkong said ’this is wonderful’ four times, so happy he seemed like a child, even gesturing wildly, while Ye Xiaofan and the others watched this scene in utter confusion.
Yet after Lin Changkong’s initial excitement waned, he quickly gathered his wits and, without hesitation, pulled Ye Xiaofan along, "Junior Brother Ye, quickly, come with me to see Senior Brother Jiang. We have to share this news with everyone immediately; we don’t need to beg anyone for help anymore, hurry."
"Senior Brother Lin...?"
Ye Xiaofan wanted to ask about what was going on, but he was already being carried along by Lin Changkong, the two of them turning into a streak of light heading deep into the ancient city.
The remaining disciples of the Divine Sword Sect watched the scene unfold, all talking in bewilderment.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
In just a few breaths.
Ye Xiaofan only saw a blur before his eyes, countless scenes quickly retreating, and when he once again steadied himself, the scene had changed completely.
