Chapter 337: That's the Holy Son!
"Now that the Holy Son has returned, certain matters should be put on the agenda ahead of time."
The Profound Sun Holy Lord glanced around at everyone and said unhurriedly, "I believe all of you elders already know the Holy Son's current strength."
"With his status as a Saint, remaining merely the Holy Son is somewhat beneath him."
"Uh…"
Hearing this, the elders in the hall looked at each other.
In truth, they had long thought of this point, but had refrained from bringing it up out of consideration.
Looking through history, it seemed that no Holy Land had ever had a Holy Son at the Saint level.
They did want Li Xun to take the position of Holy Lord, but the problem was that the current Holy Lord was in his prime, so it wouldn't be appropriate to have him step down directly.
After thinking it over, the only suitable position seemed to be that of a Grand Elder.
But then again, a Grand Elder as young as Li Xun would be unprecedented.
Moreover, the thought that Li Xun—who had been a junior not long ago—would suddenly stand above them all made them feel somewhat uneasy.
"What does the Holy Lord plan to do?" an elder asked curiously.
"My opinion is to have the Holy Son Li Xun directly assume the position of Grand Elder," the Profound Sun Holy Lord said calmly.
He continued, "The Holy Son is currently in a period of rapid growth in strength. It's not that I'm attached to the position of Holy Lord, but if he were to take my place, I fear he would be delayed in his cultivation by mundane affairs."
Li Xun had already become the golden signboard of the Profound Sun Holy Land. If he became Holy Lord, it was certain that their prestige would rise even further in a short time.
But that would also bring a problem.
As the Holy Lord, Li Xun would have to handle many affairs, inevitably slowing down his cultivation. A future existence who might have a chance to become an Emperor could be completely held back by worldly matters.
The Profound Sun Holy Lord could not accept that.
In his view, having Li Xun serve as a Grand Elder and continue focusing on cultivation would be the greatest benefit to the Profound Sun Holy Land.
Once Li Xun became an Emperor, even if he did nothing, the Profound Sun Holy Land would naturally rise to another level.
"The Holy Lord's concerns are not without reason," an elder nodded in agreement.
"In that case, it's settled. When the Holy Son returns, I—" Before the Profound Sun Holy Lord could finish speaking, a core disciple in purple robes flew in from afar. Upon arriving outside the hall, he bowed respectfully and said urgently:
"This disciple requests an audience with the Holy Lord!"
"Hm?"
Seeing the newcomer, the elders and the Holy Lord exchanged glances.
Finally, the Profound Sun Holy Lord spoke in a deep voice, "What has happened?"
"Reporting to the Holy Lord—just now, the three core disciples who went to Chenfeng Valley, along with seventeen inner disciples, have all fallen!"
the purple-robed disciple said quickly.
"What?!"
Hearing this, several elders in the hall immediately changed expressions.
The current Profound Sun Holy Land, thanks to the secret realm left behind by the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect, had doubled its number of core disciples.
Even so, every core disciple was extremely valuable.
Losing even one would pain them for a long time.
Not to mention that now three had died at once, along with seventeen inner disciples.
"Chenfeng Valley lies within the territory of our Profound Sun Holy Land. What kind of person would dare act so boldly and attack our disciples?" Elder Xie said coldly, his eyes flashing.
"It seems… it was a duke from the Great Chu Dynasty who brought people to Chenfeng Valley, claiming it was a lair of Otherworldly Demons and wanted to investigate. The core disciples refused, and so…"
The disciple spoke hesitantly, but the meaning was already clear.
"The Great Chu Dynasty!"
The Profound Sun Holy Lord suddenly stood up, his expression turning extremely cold.
Chenfeng Valley belonged to the territory of the Profound Sun Holy Land. Now that the Great Chu Dynasty suspected the presence of Otherworldly Demons there, wasn't that implying that the Profound Sun Holy Land was colluding with such demons?
"Are they bullying us because they think our Profound Sun Holy Land has no one capable?"
The Profound Sun Holy Lord strode outward, saying as he walked, "I will go personally and demand an explanation from them!"
Watching his departing figure, the other elders felt a mix of emotions.
The other side had only sent a single duke, yet their side required the Holy Lord to personally step in. It was somewhat humiliating—but there was no helping it.
Every duke of the Great Chu Dynasty was a powerhouse of the Divine Palace Realm.
And among them, they were considered elites.
On the other hand, although Profound Sun Holy Land had recently produced a few Divine Palace Realm experts, they were all at the early stage—the lowest tier.
Even if several of them joined forces, facing a duke of the Great Chu Dynasty would only bring humiliation upon themselves.
Only the Holy Lord taking action could match such an opponent.
"Holy Lord, I will accompany you!" Elder Xie stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
Though his strength was insufficient, he could at least help maintain appearances.
The other elders also rose at the same time, their intentions clear.
"Very well."
The Profound Sun Holy Lord pondered briefly and did not refuse.
Thus, surrounded by a group of elders, the many experts of Profound Sun Holy Land tore through the void and flew outward. The sight shook the entire Holy Land.
In all these years, they had never witnessed such a grand scene.
Those unaware of the situation might have thought Profound Sun Holy Land was facing some great calamity.
"Holy Lord, elders—where are you all heading?"
Just as the group was about to leave the mountain gate, a faint, ethereal voice echoed through the void.
As the words fell, the space before them cracked open, and from within, a golden divine chariot rumbled out. Endless golden light burst forth, like a blazing sun illuminating the entire Profound Sun Holy Land.
On the chariot, curtains fluttered, and Dao rhythms flowed. Two figures within came into view, causing everyone present to feel a sudden surge of emotion.
"That's—!"
Whether it was the Profound Sun Holy Lord or the other elders, the moment they saw the golden divine chariot, tears welled up in their eyes.
That's the Holy Son!
He's finally returned! If he hadn't come back soon, the Great Chu Dynasty would have ridden over the Profound Sun Holy Land and run rampant!
