Becoming The Lord Of Sword From Today On

0Under the lead of the servants, Lin Chen arrived at the main hall of Nine Night Society.    

    

The entire main hall was rather spacious, and it was over seventy zhang wide. Moreover, no matter if it was the walls or the ground, they were all constructed from an enormous green rock, and it was inlaid with gold and silver, causing the entire hall to seem grand and magnificent.    

    

There were many seats in the main hall, and there were already people sitting on them. Some of them lowered their heads and whispered to each other, while others closed their eyes to rest. Moreover, Jiuhe was amongst them, and he was chatting happily with the people beside him.    

    

The Great Elder who had invited Lin Chen earlier sat by the side alone, drinking wine by himself.    

    

The moment Lin Chen stepped into the hall, he attracted the attention of some of the elders in the hall.    

    

"Mr Lin, you came late enough. Everyone is here. You can sit next to me." When Jiu He saw Lin Chen walk over, he made room for Lin Chen and said with a smile.    

    

"Thank you very much." Lin Chen did not refuse and walked over to sit down.    

    

"You are the new elder? So young?"    

    

"It's true that there are talented people in every generation!"    

    

"That's true!"    

    

Many pairs of eyes looked at Lin Chen and discussed animatedly.    

    

"Since most of the people have come. I will inform everyone about some matters." At this moment, the Great Elder stood up and spoke with a clear voice.    

    

"I'm sure you've all heard of the spirit vein that was originally in the Emotion River Mountain Range within the sphere of influence of our association. Originally, ten years ago, the spirit stone had been completely mined. However, for some reason, the spirit stone was born extremely quickly within the mountain range. There were actually quite a few more spirit stone that were unearthed. "    

    

As soon as these words were spoken, it instantly caused all the elders present to whisper amongst themselves. They also somewhat understood the reason why the Guild Master had gathered them.    

    

The Head Elder paused for a moment, then continued to speak to the crowd with a serious expression, "After I heard about this, I immediately sent several elders and some of my subordinates to go there. However, they didn't know why this news had spread out. Jiang Hai had actually arrived at Lingkong City ahead of time. He said that they were the ones who discovered it first, and that it should all belong to them. We have been in confrontation there for several months, and both sides have suffered casualties. Thus, the association had already communicated with them once. After discussing it with our two families. In the end, we have decided to have a competition between us. Each sect has three Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage and below cultivators who are no older than thirty years old. The victor will have the right to harvest the spirit vein. At the same time, they will also have a generous amount of spirit stone as compensation."    

    

"Do you all have confidence?!" The Great Elder asked, wanting to raise the morale.    

    

However, the morale did not rise as expected. The eyes of the others present were also flickering, and no one knew what they were thinking.    

    

When Lin Chen saw this, he was somewhat puzzled. He turned to Jiu He and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jiu, look at everyone's expressions. Why aren't they confident?"    

    

When Jiu He heard this, he let out a bitter laugh. Then, he replied in a soft voice with a hint of helplessness on his face.    

    

"If we really want to compete, then I'm afraid that our chances of winning aren't very high! Mr Lin didn't know that if it was said that Astral Reaching Stage cultivators had no age limit, then... We have a chance. However, those below the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage and below thirty years old, we have very few talents. The reason why they dared to propose such a competition is that they have three elders who are at the peak of the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage and less than thirty years old." Although Jiu He lowered his voice, everyone present was at the Astral Reaching Stage. How could they not hear him? They couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly.    

    

The scene fell into silence!    

    

"Haha, since I dare to accept it, I won't be afraid of them." At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly laughed and said.    

    

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed outside the hall, and three people walked in.    

    

They saw a middle-aged man in a black robe with a carefree expression.    

    

"Guild Master! "When the Great Elder saw the person who had arrived, he couldn't help but shout out in joy. Following that, he happily walked towards the door to welcome the person who had arrived.    

    

This man was the master of Nine Night Society!    

    

Lin Chen glanced at the chairman, then turned his gaze to the two people behind him.    

    

The man was dressed in black clothes, and he had a graceful bearing. Surprisingly, he was a handsome man. His cultivation wasn't high or low, and he was at the peak of the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage.    

    

The female's cultivation was slightly weaker than the man's. She was at the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage, and she had a graceful appearance. Her jet black hair hung down to her waist, and she was a rare beauty!    

    

This female was quite similar to the president, and she should be his daughter.    

    

When the president walked in, Lin Chen did the same as the others and cupped his fists.    

    

"No need to be so polite. Everyone, sit down." The president walked to the main seat and sat down.    

    

The president's eyes lit up. He looked around and said, "These are all newly promoted elders, right? Some strangers! "    

    

The president's gaze swept across Lin Chen and the other new faces.    

    

"I welcome all of you to join us." The president had a faint smile on his face.    

    

"The Great Elder has already told us about the competition. Let's call it a day. Everyone, have a good rest. The Great Elder stays behind." The Guild Master ordered them to leave.    

    

After Lin Chen left, in the blink of an eye, only the Guild Master, the Great Elder, the daughter of the Guild Master, and the black-clothed youth were left in the hall.    

    

"Ye Xun Er, you and young master Zhang have worked hard on your journey. You should go and rest first. I need to talk to the president again." The president pondered for a moment and said to the two people behind him.    

    

The two of them did not have any objections and quickly retreated.    

    

In the blink of an eye, only the president and the Great Elder remained in the hall.    

    

The two of them discussed some of the recent matters in the hall.    

    

As the president had been away for many years, he had never returned to handle the matters of the meeting. Thus, this discussion lasted for several hours. When the matter was almost settled, the Head Elder bade farewell.    

    

However, when he left, the Great Elder had an unhappy expression on his face. It was clear that he had not expected the guild leader to return.    

    

Three days later.    

    

Just as Lin Chen was busy using the last three Nine Spirit Flower to break through to the Third Star Boundary, a message came from the meeting. The opposite party had finally sent someone to officially challenge the Nine Night Society.    

    

After a short while, all the elders were gathered together once again. In the main hall, the chairman was sitting on the high platform. All the other elders were gathered here and were sitting on the left side.    

    

Ye Xun Er and the black-clothed youth Zhang Shan were standing behind the president.    

    

Opposite Lin Chen and the others sat an old man. He was the Jiang Hai Society's Great Elder.    

    

"In that case, President Yeh doesn't have any objections regarding the matter of each side sending out three people. It was settled then. Let's make it clear again, the rules of the competition are arena matches. Whoever lost would be considered the loser! "The smiling old man said slowly with a calm expression. Obviously, he was confident in this match.    

    

" Hahaha. We will accompany him to the end. The location of the competition is at the Purple Gold Mountain at the border between the two of us. " President Yeh didn't want to be outdone.    

    

"It's a deal, it's a deal. I hope you won't disappoint us when the time comes. Since we have already agreed, we won't disturb you anymore. Farewell. " The old man had a fake smile on his face as he turned around and left the hall.
