Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Within the territory of Zhongzhou.

Not a cloud in the ten thousand li.

Inside the headquarters of the Zhongzhou Cultivators Alliance.

The meeting hall.

At this moment, several elders sat quietly within the hall, their expressions solemn.

The atmosphere inside the hall was somewhat tense. Discover more stories at empire

In the center of the hall, two elders stood, somewhat awkwardly.

These two elders were none other than Elder Gu and Elder Chen.

Being stared at by several elders, Elder Gu and Elder Chen felt uncomfortable all over, standing there with very strange expressions, unsure of what to say.

Just then.

An elder sitting down spoke up, breaking the silence.

"So, you two better speak up. What's the situation with the Hidden Sect of the East State? If it's a go, say it's a go, if not, say it's not. Stop beating around the bush."

The elder said impatiently.

"It won't do, it won't do, we must wait for the Alliance Hierarch to come before we can speak."

"Indeed, the Alliance Hierarch did instruct us. Concerning the news about the Hidden Sect of the East State, we can only speak when he is present."

Elder Gu and Elder Chen shook their heads, adamantly refusing to disclose anything.

The other elders were helpless and could only sit in silence once more.

After about the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

A figure walked into the hall from outside.

A middle-aged man in a black robe.

Upon seeing this middle-aged man.

All the sitting elders, including Elder Gu and Elder Chen, performed a courtesy greeting.

"We pay respects to the Alliance Hierarch."

The middle-aged man was Wu Yue, the Leader of the Cultivators Alliance!

"Dispense with the formalities, there's no need for such courtesy."

"So, how about it? Is the matter with the Hidden Sect of the East State all settled?"

Wu Yue took his seat at the head of the table and looked at everyone, speaking indifferently.

Upon these words.

The many elders immediately began to complain.

"Alliance Hierarch, you don't know, these two, their lowly status is one thing, but they're also stubborn to death, refusing to divulge any news."

"That's right, Alliance Hierarch, these two are merely deacons, yet they dare to defy us. They should be punished..."

"Let them first talk about the matter of the Hidden Sect, this is a major event."

The many elders spoke up one after another.

After Wu Yue listened quietly, his gaze fell on Elder Gu and Elder Chen.

He pondered for a while before he slowly began to speak.

"There is no need to blame these two."

"It was I who instructed them to act this way. Alright, you two, speak up. The Hidden Sect of the East State, are they willing to take part in the Great Sect Competition or not?"

Wu Yue asked, looking down at them.

Although he was asking, there was no fluctuation in his mood.

He felt that there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that the Hidden Sects would not bother with them.

He was just asking for an answer, that was all.

This notion was also believed by the many elders.

They were aware of what kind of sect the Hidden Sect of the East State was, weren't they?

An inheritance of three million years!!!

A sect with such a profound lineage, would they care about their Great Sect Competition?

Heh.

Are they joking?

This thought was unanimously agreed upon by Wu Yue and the many elders.

But the next moment.

The words from Elder Gu and Elder Chen smacked their faces at light speed.

"Alliance, Alliance Hierarch, the Hidden Sect of the East State has accepted the invitation. Their disciples have stated that they will come to take part in the Great Sect Competition!"

Elder Chen answered with a cupped-fist salute.

Whoosh...

With these words falling.

Those seated elders all stood up one by one, eyes widened as they looked at Elder Chen and Elder Gu

Wu Yue also couldn't help but straighten his posture, eyes wide open.

"What you're saying is true, the Hidden Sect of the East State is really willing to participate in the Great Sect Competition?!"

Wu Yue asked in utter astonishment.

"Yes, Alliance Hierarch, the Hidden Sect of the East State, Sect Without Dao, has accepted the invitation and will take part."

Elder Chen responded.

"The three million year legacy of the Hidden Sect of the East State is truly willing to take part in the Great Sect Competition?!"

Wu Yue still couldn't believe it and repeated his question.

"Alliance Hierarch, this is absolutely true, the Hidden Sect has indicated they will indeed come to participate."

With no choice left, Elder Chen had to say it once more.

Sigh...

Upon hearing this news, the breathing of the elders in the hall grew heavier.

"The mighty Hidden Sect with a three million year heritage, would join our lowly Great Sect Competition?"

"Cough cough, well, the Great Sect Competition is the grandest event of the current era, and besides, the Alliance Hierarch is still here, so don't put it so disagreeably..."

"Hurry, hurry, this news must be spread! With the Hidden Sect of the East State participating, we're sure to coax out those Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou, then it'll be Hidden Sect against Hidden Sect! Let's see who's more impressive!"

The elders chatted animatedly one after another, instantly turning the meeting hall lively.

Some elders had already thought of how to use this news to maximize their benefits.

To spread this news.

The Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou would certainly be interested in this news, and as a result, they would participate in the Great Sect Competition or pay attention to it.

With this lead.

The influence of the Great Sect Competition would expand further.

Sitting at the head, Wu Yue thought of an additional aspect. He stood up, facing the many elders with a solemn expression.

The many elders, seeing Wu Yue's serious countenance, stopped talking and looked towards him.

Wu Yue slightly narrowed his eyes and spoke with a somber tone.

"It's indeed good that the Hidden Sect is willing to participate in the Great Sect Competition, but before that, I want to make it clear. I don't want to see any overreaching behavior when the members of the Hidden Sect arrive."

"For instance, any sorts of fawning actions, which I will absolutely not tolerate seeing."

"You all know how much I despise and loathe such fawning behavior, so I hope not to see any such conduct from you. Do you all understand?"

Wu Yue enunciated each word, admonishing the elders.

The elders naturally didn't dare say anything and all nodded to indicate their understanding.

Seeing this, Wu Yue smiled in satisfaction and spoke no further.

"Alright, elders, now that you all know, you may step down. Uh, cough, Elder Gu, Elder Chen, you stay."

Wu Yue waved his hand and instructed.

The elders glanced at each other, all performing a cupped-fist salute towards Wu Yue before obediently exiting...
