HISS!
A deathly silence fell over the heavens and earth.
Everyone inwardly gasped.
Was this the might of ten thousand years of cultivation?
So terrifying.
It's a good thing I didn't flee!
Looking at the corpses of the Poison God and Jade Sun Child, Wan Renwang felt a lingering fear.
Just now, when Lin Jingyu's gaze had fallen on him, he had felt the urge to flee for a moment.
But in the end, he restrained himself.
Firstly, Lin Jingyu's cultivation level was too strong; his chances of escaping were very slim. Secondly, his daughter Biyao was also present, making it difficult to flee immediately.
The Three Wonderful Fairy also quietly felt fortunate. She hadn't fled because she wanted to worship the God of Hongmeng and see if she and Jin Ping'er could be offered as sacrifices.
For a long, long time, the shocked crowd finally climbed up from the ground.
They were horrified by Lin Jingyu's fearsome strength, as he had effortlessly slaughtered two Demon Sect powerhouses with a mere wave of his hand.
But they were even more thrilled by the benefits they had received this time.
Although they had started worshipping later and the benefits were limited, their cultivation levels had still increased by several years.
This feeling of gaining benefits for practically nothing, even if the divine grace was meager, made them extremely happy.
"The God of Hongmeng is truly great, truly generous!"
Daoxuan felt an unprecedented power surge within him and the knowledge of the Immortal Scripture Divine Skills fill his mind, his face brimming with excitement.
Although he had sacrificed the Jade Dynasty Sword and the Water Kirin, he felt it was more than worth it.
Even though the lion's share of the benefits had gone to Lin Jingyu, the divine grace he himself had received was already worth more than the Jade Dynasty Sword and Water Kirin combined.
Not to mention that other powerhouses like Tian Buyi had also received immense benefits.
"Sect Leader, I plan to establish the Hongmeng Divine Sect. Would you be willing to join?"
Lin Jingyu did not spare a glance at the deceased Poison God and Jade Sun Child but turned towards Daoxuan.
His words made everyone prick up their ears.
Daoxuan was taken aback. He then immediately considered Lin Jingyu's strength and his position as a Divine Envoy, bestowed directly by the Divine Spirit, realizing he had no choice.
Qingyun Gate could only thrive and achieve greater glory by closely following the God of Hongmeng.
"I am willing to lead Qingyun Gate to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect!"
"Daoxuan pays his respects to the Sect Hierarch."
Daoxuan was a decisive man. He hesitated barely at all.
Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, Tianyun, and the other peak masters and Qingyun disciples, regaining their senses, paid their respects one after another. "We pay our respects to the Sect Hierarch!" they all proclaimed.
Having just received the enormous favor of the God of Hongmeng, how could they refuse now?
"From now on, Qingyun Gate shall be renamed the Hongmeng Divine Sect, and Immortal Daoxuan will serve as Vice Sect Hierarch."
Lin Jingyu gave these orders directly, without ceremony.
With the current momentum and his invincible strength, subduing Qingyun Gate was a simple matter for him.
Moreover, he had invited all the cultivators of the world here, not just as spectators, but also with the intention of subjugating them.
"Thank you, Sect Hierarch."
Daoxuan clasped his hands and bowed. Although his status was demoted, he wasn't dissatisfied.
Both Lin Jingyu's current strength and his status as a Divine Envoy were beyond Daoxuan's ability to contend with.
The position of Sect Hierarch was well-deserved.
Besides, his future post as Vice Sect Hierarch would grant him far greater power and prestige than his previous position as the Sect Leader of Qingyun Gate.
"Qi Hao will serve as the Dragon Head Peak Master, Wen Min as the Small Bamboo Peak Master, and the rest of the peaks will remain unchanged," Lin Jingyu decreed.
"Thank you, Sect Hierarch!"
Qi Hao, Wen Min, Tian Buyi, and the other peak masters bowed and thanked him.
After reorganizing Qingyun Gate, Lin Jingyu looked towards the experts from Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley and asked, "Master Puhong, Cloud Valley Main, I wonder if you would be willing to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect and believe in my God?"
Yun Yilan looked at the overwhelming aura emanating from Lin Jingyu and the majestic Immortal Sword hovering above his head. He made his decision instantly. There are benefits to following the God of Hongmeng. If we refuse, even if Lin Jingyu spares us today, Incense Valley will struggle to achieve anything further and will inevitably decline. The allure of the God of Hongmeng is too strong. He offers too much. We simply cannot refuse.
"Yun Yilan pays respects to the Sect Hierarch, willing to lead Incense Valley to join the Divine Church!"
Following the God of Hongmeng indeed had its perks.
If they refused, even if Lin Jingyu spared them today, Incense Valley would hardly be able to accomplish anything and would inevitably decline.
The allure of the God of Hongmeng was too great.
He gave too much.
They simply could not refuse.
Master Puhong saw Yun Yilan make his choice and sighed internally. Amitabha. Buddha, please forgive my transgression. Don't blame this little monk for being swayed; the divine grace is simply too alluring.
Then, he bowed towards Lin Jingyu. "Puhong pays respects to the Sect Hierarch and is willing to lead Tianyin Temple to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect!"
Wan Renwang sighed inwardly. The general tide of the world has turned against us. He knew that with Lin Jingyu's current cultivation level, he must have already been discovered.
No longer hiding, he stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said, "Wan Renwang of the Ghost King Sect greets Sect Hierarch Lin. I wonder if the Ghost King Sect might be permitted to join the Divine Church?"
He had never felt so powerless. His life and death rested entirely on another's whim, awaiting their judgment.
"Three Wonderful of the Hehuan Sect pays respects to Sect Hierarch Lin and is willing to lead the Hehuan Sect to join the Divine Church!"
The Three Wonderful Fairy quickly followed suit.
Her heart was filled with both anticipation and nervousness. Life or death... it all hinged on this moment.
WHOOSH.
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar.
All eyes suddenly fixed on them.
No one had expected that the notoriously fierce Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect was right there among them, nor the Three Wonderful Fairy of the Hehuan Sect.
Even more surprising was their desire to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect. But on second thought, it wasn't so strange.
Who wouldn't want to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect? Especially since two Demon Sect leaders had just been slain. Besides begging to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect, what other choice did they have?
What will Sect Hierarch Lin do? Will he exterminate these demonic figures, or will he accept them into his sect?
Everyone looked to Lin Jingyu.
This included Daoxuan, Tian Buyi, and the others. If Lin Jingyu were not the Sect Hierarch, they would have already rushed forward to eliminate Wan Renwang and the Three Wonderful Fairy themselves.
After all, the past great wars between the righteous and demonic factions had been exceedingly brutal.
