Chapter 1476 - The Sect Leader’s Return
Chapter 1476: The Sect Leader’s Return
All of the disciples and elders on the drill ground stopped what they were doing.
They looked up into the sky.
Everyone in the world knew that the Divine Phoenix Maiden had a phoenix steed. The fact that the phoenix was back indicated that their stand-in sect leader, Xu Xiaolan, was back.
Not only were all of the people on the drill ground extremely excited, but even True Nuclear Celestial Immortal, Setting Moon Celestial Immortal, and Missing An Celestial Immortal all turned up to the sky with excited smiles on their faces.
“Xiaolan is always so full of vigor after speaking to An Lin.” Su Qianyun chuckled.
“She has a very heavy burden on her shoulders, and only by speaking to An Lin would it truly relieve her pressure. We may be her friends, but we’re still unable to truly share the load for her.” Xuanyuan Cheng heaved a resigned and sympathetic sigh.
“When Master comes back, Master’s wife is going to be the happiest person in the world.” Ye Ling looked up into the sky with a resolute expression. “And that day will definitely come!”
The entire sky had been lit up by flames.
The scorching temperatures began to gradually rise.
“The phoenix is coming back…”
All of the disciples were starting to feel a little nervous.
The phoenix extended its crimson wings, and its flaming feathers looked like vibrant flower petals dancing in the sky.
They could just manage to make out a figure in a jade dress standing atop the high and mighty phoenix.
This legendary woman was the only one in this world who had the right to stand on the phoenix. Countless disciples and elders were struck by a sense of profound respect and admiration at the sight of that figure.
The newbie disciples were all looking up at the sky with scorching lights shimmering in their eyes.
The Divine Phoenix Maiden, the stand-in sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. This was a legendary woman worshipped by countless female cultivators, and countless male cultivators yearned for and were entranced by her, but they did not dare to approach her…
She was about to appear before everyone!
The phoenix did not take the Divine Phoenix Maiden back to the sect leader’s pavilion. Instead, it looked like it was going to land on the drill ground.
The cultivating disciples were excited beyond belief and immediately vacated a large area of space.
The flames on the phoenix’s body began to dissipate, revealing a flawlessly proportioned body that was peerlessly gorgeous and glowing with a divine light.
However, everyone’s eyes were focused on its back. The figure standing there gradually became clearer as the flames dissipated.
“Is that the Divine Phoenix Maiden? She’s so beautiful!”
“Wait, why are there two people?”
“Gasp… You’re right!”
All of the disciples suddenly discovered that there was a white figure standing beside their stand-in sect leader.
All of them were then completely astonished by what they saw.
The number one goddess of the Kingdom of the Nine States had her arms wrapped around a man with a sweet smile of a little girl on her face.
Not only had the disciples never seen anything like this.
Even the elders present had not seen their goddess like this before.
“This… Our stand-in sect leader has her arms around another man?”
“The Divine Phoenix Maiden has someone she likes?”
“Impossible! No man in the entire Kingdom of the Nine States is a match for the Divine Phoenix Maiden!”
Everyone looked on with astonishment and confusion in their eyes, as if they were in a dream.
The goddess who had never shown interest in another man now had her arms wrapped around a man in an extremely affectionate manner, and an unprecedented, gentle smile lit up her flawless features.
What a shocking sight!
“Wait… that man… he looks a little familiar somehow?” One of the newbie disciples looked at the statue beside him. He then looked up at the man in the sky before rubbing his eyes.
“An… An…” Sun Yuluo’s mouth gaped open, and he stuttered as if his brain had malfunctioned.
“There are quite a few new faces.” The white-robed man leaped down from the phoenix’s back with a warm smile on his face.
The Divine Phoenix Maiden stood beside him with a dainty smile, and she held onto his hand in a very natural motion before pointing to a statue with another hand. “I had this statue erected for you. What do you think?”
“Tsk tsk tsk… Isn’t this statue a little ugly? I feel like I should be much more handsome…”
Xu Xiaolan looked at him with a disdainful glance. “… Shameless b*stard!”
The two of them continued to flirt with one another.
All of the surrounding disciples had been stunned into a deathly silence.
The man seemed to sense the palpable shock hanging in the air, and he turned to all of the disciples with a smile on his face. “Hello, everyone. Looks like we’ve got quite a few new disciples. Let me introduce myself, my name is…”
“Sword Immortal An Lin!!!”
A heart-wrenching roar suddenly erupted.
Sun Yuluo threw himself at An Lin with tears and snot flowing down his face before enveloping An Lin in a massive hug.
“It’s real! You really are here! You really are An Lin! Waah…”
Sun Yuluo wept even more vehemently as he locked An Lin in a tight hug, as if he was afraid that An Lin would disappear as soon as he let go.
Sun Yuluo’s graceful and elegant demeanor as an exceptional sword immortal had completely collapsed, and he was now crying like a fully-grown baby.
Xu Xiaolan glowered at the man hugging her dao partner and was considering whether to burn him to a crisp.
However, before she had a chance to do anything, Sun Yuluo was kicked aside by a black boot.
A pleasant voice that was filled with longing and relief sounded, “Master!”
The man with his arms around An Lin was kicked away amid a wail of anguish. He was replaced by a soft, well-proportioned body.
This was a woman in a tight-fitting black daoist robe with tears shimmering in her eyes. She wound her arms tightly around An Lin and laid her head on his chest as she wept with excitement. “It really is you. You’re finally back!”
“Little Ling…” An Lin’s hands trembled slightly as he patted the exquisite beauty in his arms. His eyes glazed over slightly as he thought back to the little girl who was always following him around a hundred years ago.
Su Qianyun and Xuanyuan Cheng also made their way over with expressions of incredulity on their faces.
“Xiaolan, can I hug An Lin?” Su Qianyun asked with a blank expression of shock.
“Go on.” Xu Xiaolan smiled.
Su Qianyun made her way over to An Lin and gave him a tight hug, upon which her expression became even more shocked. “It really is An Lin! This is too realistic to be an illusion!”
Xuanyuan Cheng also gave An Lin a hug to verify. Very sturdy, very realistic.
Boom boom boom boom boom…
A series of dazzling lights erupted into the sky above the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
“Big Brother An! Woof!!!”
“Master!!!”
“Holy Leader!!!”
“Sect Leader An Lin!”
All of the core members of the sect began to appear before flying toward the drill ground as quickly as they could.
The newbie disciples were completely awestruck.
They only wanted to see the statue of the sect leader. Did they really have to give them a real sect leader to look at? What about his deceased spirit?
“So…” All of the disciples looked at the man who was surrounded by a bunch of happy mighty figures. “Our sect leader is back?!”
