Chapter 75 With such a wise ruler, what is there to fear in death?!
Yang Wudi and the others were furious at the insulting words around them, but they could only swallow their anger and keep quiet.
Even if they claimed that Haotian Sect had wronged them first, the onlookers wouldn't believe them!
"Ignore them all, let's go!"
Yang Wudi said directly.
The members of the four single-attribute clans walked into Wuhun City with a heavy heart, and remained silent after returning to their camp.
No one can accept being branded a traitor!
Titan rose and comforted them, saying, "Gentlemen, there's no need to be so discouraged. As long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough!"
A few days later.
The investiture ceremony began, and Yang Wudi and the other three clan leaders walked to the center of the Papal Square and knelt on one knee.
"We greet His Holiness the Pope!"
Qian Xunji nodded and said, "Get up, everyone!"
"From this day forward, the four single-attribute clans of Strength, Defense, Breakthrough, and Agility will join our Spirit Hall. This is hereby announced to the world."
"My Martial Soul Hall has four branch halls: the Divine Forging Hall, the Heavenly Crafting Hall, the Pill Cauldron Hall, and the Amazing Swan Hall."
"The Force Clan belongs to the Divine Forging Hall, whose master is Titan, who is mainly responsible for forging."
"The Yuan Yu clan belonged to the Tiangong Hall, whose master was Niu Gao, who was mainly responsible for building the city."
"The Yuanpo clan belongs to the Dan Ding Hall, whose master is Yang Wudi, who is mainly responsible for refining medicine."
"Yuan Min's clan belongs to Jinghong Palace, whose master is Bai He, who is mainly responsible for intelligence gathering."
"The four Palace Masters will enjoy elder-level treatment, be issued their own Palace Master tokens, and be directly responsible to this Pope!"
As Qian Xunji finished speaking, the people who came from all over the country to observe the ceremony showed surprised expressions. These arrangements undoubtedly placed the four single-attribute clans in a crucial position!
He actually took direct responsibility for Pope Qian Xunji, which can be described as a meteoric rise to power!
Yang Wudi and the other three looked at Qian Xunji in surprise. In their opinion, it was already good enough that they had just joined the Spirit Hall and were not marginalized. They did not expect that Qian Xunji would trust them so much!
Qian Xunji said, "Furthermore, this Pope will issue a proclamation stating that the four single-attribute clans did not betray the Haotian Sect, but rather the Haotian Sect abandoned them first!"
"I, the Pope, have always trusted those I employ and not employed those I don't trust. Yang Wudi, you four must not disappoint me!"
Qian Xunji's simple words released the pent-up frustration in Yang Wudi and the others, who looked at Qian Xunji with gratitude.
With such a wise ruler, what is there to fear in death?!
Yang Wudi immediately knelt down and shouted, "I, Yang Wudi, hereby swear that I am willing to give my life for the Spirit Hall and for His Holiness the Pope, even unto death!"
"I am willing to give my life for the Spirit Hall and for His Holiness the Pope, even unto death!"
The three Titans and everyone from the four single-attribute clans shouted at the same time, their eyes filled with fanaticism as they looked at Qian Xunji!
Qian Xunji didn't say anything emotional, but every word he uttered touched their hearts!
"I would gladly die a thousand deaths!"
"I would gladly die a thousand deaths!"
"I would gladly die a thousand deaths!"
The entire Spirit Hall shouted in unison, the earth-shaking sound carrying far and wide, lingering for a long time!
Qian Xunji pressed his hands down in the air, and the Papal Square fell silent. A group of maids carrying an antique tray walked up and stood in front of Yang Wudi and his companions.
Yang Wudi was the first to pick up the token in front of him. The back of the token bore the symbol of the Spirit Hall, while the front was engraved with the words "Dan Ding," representing his identity as the master of the Dan Ding Hall.
Titan and the others also picked up their own tokens, raised them high above their heads, and looked around!
At that moment, they felt an unparalleled sense of glory!
The disciples of the four single-attribute clans all stared intently at the tokens in the hands of the four men, their fists clenched tightly!
Countless streams of light flew out from Qian Xunji's wrist and entered the bodies of Yang Wudi and the others!
The ceremony continued according to the prescribed procedures, and Chihiro sat back on the papal chair.
By the time the ceremony ended, it was already afternoon. After Qian Xunji got up and left, everyone present began to leave in an orderly manner!
At the same time, notices clarifying the situation for the four single-attribute clans were also posted in towns and cities throughout the continent.
The crowd's attitude instantly changed 180 degrees!
"I never expected the Haotian Sect to be so shameless, abandoning its affiliated forces that had followed them for many years just for the sake of its own sect's survival!"
"Who can argue with that? The four single-attribute clans are considered lucky to have joined the Spirit Hall, while some smaller affiliated forces are still completely bewildered!"
"We were wrong to say those things about the four single-attribute clans!"
...
If we're talking about people to envy, it has to be the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Compared to them, the four major single-attribute families are far inferior, and as a result, they can only be used as cart pullers!
The difference between the two is simply too great!
"Alas, it's no one else's fault but our patriarch's fault for producing a Yu Xiaogang who repeatedly defies His Holiness the Pope!"
"So it seems we're not doing so badly after all. It's better than the Haotian Sect being wiped out!"
"Hiss... If you put it that way, I suddenly feel that His Holiness the Pope has been quite good to us!"
"..."
After so much time, although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family members were still unwilling, their attitude had gradually changed, and they seemed to be finding joy in hardship!
When someone more miserable than them appears, they feel lucky!
Inside the Papal Palace.
Yue Guan strode in and said, "Your Holiness, the territory of the Haotian Sect has been completely consolidated, and all its affiliated forces are being rapidly integrated."
"Well, let Bibi Dong handle this matter!"
Qian Xunji spoke directly, waving the secret letter in his hand.
"Dugu Bo sent word that the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is estimated to be ripe in the next few days!"
Although Yue Guan had calculated that these were the days, she still couldn't help but feel excited when she heard the news.
"Very good!"
Moon Pass Road.
Qian Xunji stood up and said, "Let's go! Don't just stand there!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately followed, and the three of them quickly headed into the Sunset Forest.
As the moonlight shone down, Qian Xunji and his two companions stepped into the Sunset Forest, where Dugu Bo and the others had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Dugu Bo immediately replied.
Seeing Yue Guan's excited expression, he understood immediately and led the group to the flowerbed.
"Your Holiness, Elder Yueguan, please take a look."
Following the direction of Dugu Bo's finger, they saw the almost fully bloomed celestial rare chrysanthemum, its golden petals still dazzling under the moonlight.
Dugu Bo said, "Elder Yueguan, you've waited so long, it's finally here!"
"Um!"
Yue Guan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His eyes were fixed on the Immortal-grade Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
Qian Xunji and the others burst into laughter, then turned and left, leaving Yue Guan some space.
Time passed day by day.
On the third day, as the energy accumulated to its peak, the entire flower began to pulsate with light and dark rhythms, and a pale golden halo spread outward like ripples on water, stirring up the air currents above the flowerbed.
