Chapter 448: The Establishment of the Langya Heavenly Palace
"It's settled."
Xiao Han walked out of the mountain gate as the members of the South Blade Pavilion saw him off, bidding farewell to the crowd behind him with a smile on his face.
After this experience, Xiao Han's impression of the South Blade Pavilion—this legendary sect of bandits—couldn't be better; they might be a bit simple-minded, but their intelligence was definitely not a problem, otherwise, they couldn't have cultivated to their current level.
Moreover, everyone in the South Blade Pavilion was a person who did not fear a fight to the death, and he, Xiao Han, needed such talent.
"Does the Sect Master intend to go to the other two sects now?"
On the other side, Yang Ling began to ask.
"Of course, strike while the iron is hot!"
The subsequent process of subjugation went very smoothly; Xiao Han used his powerful Spirit Array strength to pave the way and beat the two sects into submission, presented the facts and reasoned with them, and then lured them with benefits, bringing it to a perfect conclusion.
Yang Ling of the Dongling Sect, Tai Yun of the West Profound Gate, Qian Sha of the South Blade Pavilion, and You Ye of the North Shadow Palace—the four former Sect Masters gathered in the main hall of the Dongling Sect; having mutual grudges against each other, they didn't know how to greet one another for a moment, and the atmosphere seemed quite awkward.
"Greetings, everyone, long time no see!"
Although it had only been three days, everyone still expressed a certain degree of respect for Xiao Han's opening remark, nodding one after another to signal their acknowledgment.
"Today's meeting aims to discuss the integration of the four sects; if anyone has different opinions, you may bring them up."
At this point, Xiao Han paused slightly and cast his gaze toward the people below.
The others' expressions remained as usual; the integration of the four sects was something all parties had discussed in advance, and if they didn't agree, they wouldn't have attended this meeting.
"Since you have no objections, let us move on to the next topic."
"Regarding the naming of the new force."
"Please, speak your minds."
Once these words were spoken, the others also became interested, and the former Sect Master of the Dongling Sect, Yang Ling, spoke first.
"In this subordinate's view, why not call it the Lingtian Sect?"
"It is fitting to name it after the continent."
Once this name was proposed, the others nodded secretly as well.
As the representative sect of the Ling Tian Continent, the union of the four families being named after the continent was the most representative choice, and no one could find fault with it.
However, the South Blade Pavilion, the old rival of the Dongling Sect, naturally would not easily agree with the other party's proposal, and one only heard Qian Sha snort coldly.
"Naming it after Ling Tian is still a bit small-minded; is our ambition only this tiny Ling Tian Continent?"
"In this old man's view, the Four Saint Sect is better."
This reason was also quite sufficient, and it gained the approval of a portion of the people.
At this time, the others turned their gazes toward Tai Yun and You Ye, hoping to get other answers from the two.
However, the West Profound Gate and the North Shadow Palace were the two most cautious sects among the four, and their style was stable to the extreme.
Therefore, Tai Yun and You Ye lived up to their reputation as old foxes, both keeping their mouths shut, appearing as if it had nothing to do with them.
Seeing this, the others understood the thoughts of the two old fellows and had no choice but to look at Xiao Han, hoping this leader would make the final decision.
Xiao Han's gaze narrowed slightly, and he looked at everyone deeply; he sighed inwardly, for he was also terrible at naming things.
Letting him name it—wasn't that forcing a duck onto a perch?
Yet at this moment, Tai Yun and You Ye even gave a push.
"Why not let Senior Xiao Han decide a name for us?"
Once this was said, Yang Ling and Qian Sha also realized the key to the problem and cursed Tai Yun and the other as old foxes; a name was such a trivial thing, and as long as it wasn't too bad, it was acceptable, so why not curry favor with the leader?
"That's right, since we are forming a new sect, it should naturally be named by the master of the sect."
The two echoed.
Xiao Han's expression became strange, and he remained silent; he didn't know how either!
Just as the scene fell into a stalemate and the others' expressions became increasingly strange, the Ice Imperial coughed, attracting everyone's attention; they all knew more or less about this powerful existence, and they had to respect the other party's opinion.
At this time, the Ice Imperial was also quite helpless; wasn't it just a sesame-sized matter of naming something? No matter how good the name was, one still needed the strength to suppress others!
Why bother pushing it back and forth?
He reminded Xiao Han: "I remember you also established a force on the Dou Qi Continent, why not use that name?"
Xiao Han was still hesitant, and the Ice Imperial delivered the key blow.
"With the same name for the force, presumably it would be easier for your acquaintances to find you after they ascend to the Great Thousand World, right?"
Xiao Han was moved.
The reason he was keen on establishing a force was, to a large extent, to provide a safe cultivation environment for his future friends and family in time; the Ice Imperial's suggestion hit the mark perfectly.
"Hmm... I wonder what the force in the lower plane is called, Senior?"
At this time, the former Gate Master of the West Profound Gate spoke up, asking curiously.
"Langya Pavilion!"
Xiao Han blurted out.
"Excellent!"
Unexpectedly, Tai Yun immediately slapped the table in admiration and sighed with praise.
"The word 'Langya' sounds like it easily produces talent, and it is magnificent; it truly is a good name."
Hearing this, the existences present, including Xiao Han, could not help but twitch their mouths; this flattery was truly...
Indescribable!
Qian Sha and the others cursed Tai Yun in their hearts for being such a sycophant.
However, Tai Yun was what kind of existence? The disdainful gazes of all parties were as nothing to him, and his expression remained calm.
What is face? Having reached his current status, Tai Yun had long since thrown his face to the nine heavens.
In the end, the name Langya was decided upon, though to highlight its grandeur, the slightly petty "Pavilion" was changed to "Heavenly Palace."
Thus, the Langya Heavenly Palace officially stood tall in the Great Thousand World, waiting only for a world-shaking battle to make the name of the Langya Heavenly Palace resound in all directions.
The name was settled just like that; next was the most important matter. Xiao Han's expression turned suddenly solemn, and the Ice Imperial at his side even pulled out her own Meteor God Whip, which was suffused with baleful energy.
Such bizarre behavior startled everyone, while also leaving them completely baffled.
If one were to speak of killing the donkey after the millstone is removed, the mill hadn't even been pulled yet, so why kill the donkey?
If one insisted on saying there was nothing wrong, looking at the murderous appearance of Xiao Han and the Ice Imperial, it lacked any persuasive power.
They could only cast their uncertain and suspicious gazes upon Xiao Han.
"Do you all know why I wish to integrate the four sects' forces?"
Xiao Han's expression was calm, revealing not a single flaw.
"We hope the Palace Master will enlighten us."
Yang Ling and the others said respectfully.
Xiao Han did not answer, but instead looked around, and amidst the crowd's puzzled gazes, he said:
"This Ling Tian Continent is indeed a good place."
"Life is comfortable, resources are abundant, and there is no need for fear or anxiety."
???
Yang Ling and the others were once again filled with question marks. As a gathering place for Spirit Array Masters, Ling Tian Continent possessed a natural geographical advantage, and comfort was its primary characteristic.
After all, a Spirit Array Master is a profession that requires dedicated study, comprehending Array Diagrams, Spirit Array insights, and so on; even that group known as bandits, the South Blade Pavilion, was no exception.
It is indeed difficult for Spirit Array Masters to develop in places where the flames of war fly; they are not like those war-crazed War Array Masters.
Furthermore, the cultivation expenses for special professions like Spirit Array Masters are astronomical, no less than those of Alchemists, who are famous for burning money, so they naturally require vast resources.
While Ling Tian Continent itself is rich in resources, the surrounding continents are also extremely wealthy, and material exchange is extremely frequent, fully satisfying the cultivation requirements of Spirit Array Masters.
Therefore, rather than saying Ling Tian Continent gathered the Spirit Array Masters, it would be better to say the Spirit Array Masters voluntarily flocked to Ling Tian Continent.
"It is a pity, though; it lacks some tempering."
Xiao Han's words were very strange. Tai Yun and the others vaguely sensed something ominous in their hearts, but the enthusiasm of certain people was also stirred.
"What the Palace Master says is true; Ling Tian Continent is indeed too comfortable."
Without needing to look, the others knew that the person who said this was the former South Blade Pavilion Pavilion Master, Qian Sha, who was currently looking excited.
Dealing with Spirit Array Masters every day had already made everyone in their South Blade Pavilion weary and bored to the extreme; a real man should experience that feeling of fists hitting flesh.
Frowning and exchanging glances, You Ye, who had not spoken until now, voiced out:
"I wonder what the Palace Master means by..."
"I hope to establish Langya Heavenly Palace on Huan Continent."
Xiao Han revealed his true intentions, and the words he spoke made everyone's heart turn cold.
