Chapter 759
“Brother Ye Chu, my clan must all thank you!” Xiang Chunan looked at Ye Chu, who had Tan Miaotong with him on the mountain peak, and spoke to express his thanks. His gaze fell on Tan Miaotong beside him, whose dress was fluttering in the wind. He thought to himself that this woman was truly beautiful, her smile refreshing like a mountain spring.
“Truly a big rough fellow. Can’t you see we are being lovey-dovey? And you still run over to disturb us!” Ye Chu complained in a low voice by Tan Miaotong’s ear. Tan Miaotong’s face instantly turned rosy red. She stomped away leaving Ye Chu behind, making Ye Chu not know whether to laugh or cry. He could only shift his gaze to Xiang Chunan. “Just don’t call me Witch Envoy in future. You and I are brothers. No need to be so polite.”
Xiang Chunan nodded firmly and said, “Although Brother Ye Chu is unwilling to be our Witch Envoy, we all treat you as such.”
Ye Chu did not say anything more. Looking at the energetic Xiang Chunan, Ye Chu smiled. “Your Witch Clan will become famous on the continent in future. Perhaps you will restore your ancestors’ glory.”
The Witch Clan left too many things for future generations. Back then Ye Chu was still curious what ability Xiang Fu had to open the Witch Glow. He had not expected that behind the stone tablet, there was a treasure vault. Inside, quite a bit of the Witch Clan’s foundation was left. What excited Xiang Chunan and the others most was that there was a supreme treasure that could control Xiaguang Mountain.
That is to say, the holy land of that year could completely be restored with this treasure.
Back then Xiang Fu had the confidence to bring Ye Chu away from the Witch Glow because he relied on this treasure. With the supreme treasure in hand, everything on Xiaguang Mountain was under control.
In future, Xiang Fu and the others could freely enter Xiaguang Mountain, freely enter the altar, and freely obtain Witch methods. This small village of the Witch Clan instantly possessed the foundation of a holy land, and moreover the foundation of a top-tier holy land.
This kind of fortune was something Ye Chu could not envy even if he wanted to.
“All of this is because of Brother Ye Chu!” Xiang Chunan was full of gratitude. He was very clear how much this person before him had helped him. Back then the Witch Clan’s Witch Body Technique was lost because no one could enter the altar. And they could enter, all because Ye Chu helped open it.
“Will you guard Xiaguang Mountain from now on? Or let the Xiaguang Mountain city reappear?” Ye Chu asked Xiang Chunan.
“My clan’s meaning is, let Xiaguang Mountain continue to be buried in the mountain belly. And above Xiaguang Mountain, take over the Seven Sovereigns Gate and establish a sect of our own,” Xiang Chunan said. “This was Miss Ye Jingyun’s proposal. She said we are too weak now. Revealing the Witch Clan holy land would only invite countless troubles. It would be better to wait until we are strong enough later, when we are strong enough to deter outsiders from coveting the holy land, then let it reappear in the world. Now, we can occupy Xiaguang Mountain, just occupy Xiaguang Mountain. Importantly, we need a name that can deter others. Miss Ye Jingyun told us to build a sect of our own or something like that.”
Ye Chu nodded, feeling that what Ye Jingyun said also made some sense. “Then what do you want to call the sect?”
“My clan has already discussed it. We want you to be the sect master, so we let you choose the name!” Xiang Chunan said to Ye Chu.
“Another of Ye Jingyun’s ideas?” Ye Chu asked Xiang Chunan, almost without needing to think.
“Miss Ye Jingyun said, you are rather shameless, rather thick-skinned, very sinister, suitable to lead us,” Xiang Chunan said, rubbing his head very honestly. He did not know that with every sentence he spoke, Ye Chu’s face turned a few shades darker.
Ye Chu took a deep breath. “I can help you choose the name. As for the boss’s position, I won’t take it!”
“Hehe, what name?” Xiang Chunan asked curiously.
“Let’s call it Imperial Palace!” Ye Chu said. “In the secular world, an emperor can have any rules he wants. I feel that every one of us should have our own rules, not beneath others’ rules.”
“Then it’s Imperial Palace!” Xiang Chunan nodded. “You are the Imperial Palace’s palace master!”
“You are the princess!” Ye Chu spat, kicked out, telling Xiang Chunan to scram.
Xiang Chunan really scampered away obediently. But his words travelled far to Ye Chu’s ears. “It’s decided then. Grandpa also said he wants you to lead us.”
…
Though Ye Chu constantly opposed, later he was still insisted upon by Xiang Fu to become Imperial Palace’s palace master.
Xiang Fu had his calculations. First, naturally Ye Chu had helped them too much, making them unable to repay. Secondly, Witch Clan people had very little experience and were unable to control a sect’s operation. Moreover, Xiang Chunan’s temperament was fundamentally unsuitable to be palace master. With Xiang Fu and Chunan’s straightforward nature, who knew what they would lead the Witch Clan to become.
Xiang Fu calculated in his heart that if Ye Chu led them, then he would not worry about anything. Not to mention Ye Chu’s strong strength, most importantly what Ye Jingyun said, shameless and clever, these were essential qualities for a family head. Such a person could not be found in the Witch Clan, so naturally only Ye Chu could be chosen.
Ye Chu, who could not refuse, later also agreed. Anyway, he was determined that in future he could not be bothered with Imperial Palace matters. He would be a hands-off shopkeeper. Hanging a name was also fine.
Moreover, the Witch Clan at this moment did not need his worry. The Witch Clan was too strong, so strong it made even him tremble with fear.
The Witch Clan had over a hundred Witch Guards. Each of these Witch Guards was terrifying to the extreme. Killing sovereigns was as easy as turning a hand. With such a fighting force, who would dare speak of the Witch Clan occupying Xiaguang Mountain?
And they controlled Xiaguang Mountain. The great formations the Witch Clan left behind back then could also be instantly activated. Xiaguang Mountain at this moment was an iron barrel, fundamentally hard to break through.
With such a place, what was there to worry about? What Xiang Chunan and the others needed to do was merely continuously cultivate.
However, Ye Chu immediately thought of a benefit. That was Tan Miaotong did not need to fear having nowhere to go. This was a naturally good place. As long as she was placed in the Xiaguang Mountain city, who could find her?
Thinking of this, Ye Chu also became happy. Ye Chu had always worried the Tan family would send experts to take Tan Miaotong away. But now he was not afraid. Even if the Tan family knew she was at Xiaguang Mountain, so what? Could they still snatch someone away from the Witch Guards’ hands?
Even if the Tan family head came personally, there was no fear. This was the might of the Witch Clan’s Witch Guards. Compared to foundation, the Witch Clan was not inferior to any clan. What was lacking was that Xiang Chunan and the others were too weak.
…
After deciding on Imperial Palace, the Witch Clan people began to build on a large scale. A sect was thus established again upon Xiaguang Mountain. Ye Jingyun also helped them recruit some disciples.
The flourishing popularity made this play-house-like sect become quite presentable.
Ye Jingyun and Tan Miaotong found it interesting. All kinds of ideas kept coming, then continuously implemented. Large-scale construction on Xiaguang Mountain, palaces and houses continuously appeared. In just a short month, Imperial Palace actually became renowned in this region. It truly directly replaced the Seven Sovereigns Gate. Many former disciples of the Seven Sovereigns Gate again came up the mountain requesting to join Imperial Palace.
