Free Web NovelChapter 1179: Chapter 1178: The White Eyebrow Elder
"What strength is this?"
Even the white-browed elder was greatly surprised at this moment, looking at Ling Chen incredulously.
"Old Rock! It’s up to you!"
At this time, many strong figures from Nine Spirit Island turned their attention to the white-browed elder, pinning all their hopes of defeating Ling Chen on him.
In such a situation, Old Rock could only complain bitterly. The strength of the two black-robed men was not much less than his, yet these two were like children in front of Ling Chen, knocked away with a single finger.
Even he was certainly not Ling Chen’s match.
However, as the strongest figure on Nine Spirit Island, he could not back down.
"Little brother, this Nine Spirit Island is Witch Gate’s territory. If you want to establish a sect here and have us submit, you first need Witch Gate’s approval."
Rock coughed lightly and cautiously spoke.
Now that Witch Fiend Sect had been renamed Witch Gate, it ruled the entire Eastern Ocean, with a territory even larger than before.
To dominate the islands in this sea area, you must gain Witch Gate’s approval and appointment, otherwise, it’s courting death.
"You need not worry about this. My words represent the entire Witch Gate."
Ling Chen shook his head, "Even your Witch Goddess must listen to me, so just follow my orders, there is no need for extraneous thoughts."
"How impudent! The Witch Goddess is not someone you can desecrate!"
Ling Chen’s words enraged many people. Ling Chen could humiliate and defeat them, but he could not desecrate their holy Witch Goddess.
This was their bottom line.
"This brat is disrespectful to the Witch God and wants us to submit to him. Let’s fight to the end!"
Suddenly, more than half of the strong figures stood together, looking determined to fight Ling Chen to the bitter end.
Faced with this situation, Ling Chen frowned. He was speaking the truth; Xia Yunxin indeed listened to him. He didn’t expect her to wield such influence on Nine Spirit Island, making it impossible to even speak of it.
It seems these people have deep-rooted faith and reverence for the Witch God.
Ling Chen frowned; does he really need to take action and suppress these people?
Just then, a voice suddenly exclaimed with surprise, "Someone’s coming, someone important is here."
The crowd followed the voice and saw a powerful black-robed man walking through the air. Behind him were several followers wearing standardized black robes, emanating strong auras.
"It’s the Left Guardian Law of Witch Gate, the Left Guardian Law is here!"
Seeing the leading black-robed man, the white-browed elder’s face lit up with joy. He had visited the Witch Gate headquarters several times, and knew several high-ranking officials of Witch Gate, and Left Guardian Law was undoubtedly one of them.
"Left Guardian Law! Is he the Left Guardian Law second only to the Witch Goddess in Witch Gate?"
Upon hearing that the visitor was the Left Guardian Law, Nine Spirit Island was in an uproar. Such an important figure personally coming to their island showed Witch Gate’s significant attention.
"With the Left Guardian Law here, let’s see how that brat can still be arrogant."
The black-robed man previously defeated by Ling Chen smirked, looking mockingly at Ling Chen.
Witch Gate’s Left Guardian Law was a strong figure of the Saint Realm Third Layer. Even within the entire Nine Provinces Land, such figures were rare.
"How dare you make trouble in Witch Gate’s territory, unaware of your impending doom."
"With Left Guardian Law involved, this brat is likely finished."
Many eyes looked at Ling Chen with expressions as if they were watching a dead man.
"Lord Left Guardian Law."
The white-browed elder hurriedly greeted him, his face full of smiles. Seeing the doubt in Left Guardian Law’s eyes, he quickly said, "I am White Brows. Don’t you remember me?"
"White Brows? Oh, now I remember, you are White Brows Half-Saint, we’ve met before."
Left Guardian Law simply frowned a bit, then suddenly smiled, nodding.
"I didn’t expect Lord Left Guardian Law to remember me."
The white-browed elder became even more pleased. Who was Left Guardian Law? A big boss of Witch Gate, second only to the Witch Goddess in the Eastern Ocean. If he establishes a good relationship with this figure, he can walk proudly across the islands.
Glancing at Ling Chen, the white-browed elder quickly continued, "Lord Left Guardian Law, a kid caused trouble today on our Nine Spirit Island, claiming he wants us all to submit to him and join his Qing Mountain Sword Sect. Isn’t it laughable? What’s more laughable is, he says his words represent Witch Gate, claiming even the Witch Goddess must listen to him. Truly, the fearless ignorance..."
"Holy Lord Ling Chen!"
While the white-browed elder spoke fluently, Left Guardian Law suddenly strode up to Ling Chen and, under the astonished eyes of everyone, deeply bowed to Ling Chen!
Ling Chen... Holy Lord?
The white-browed elder was stunned, unable to believe his ears.
Left Guardian Law, showing such respect to this kid?
Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment struck him. In Witch Gate, there indeed seemed to be such a person, who had a significant relationship with the Witch Goddess. It was this person who stole the Saint’s Soul Niches from the Ling Family, awoke the Witch God, and preserved the entire Witch Gate under the fierce attack of Ling Family Army.
This person’s status in Witch Gate was second only to the Witch Goddess.
Could it be that this person is the Ling Chen before them?
Judging by Left Guardian Law’s actions, this is likely the truth.
The white-browed elder silently lamented in his heart. Why has such a figure appeared on their Nine Spirit Island?
"So it’s Holy Lord Ling Chen, forgive my ignorance for not recognizing you."
The white-browed elder, alongside Left Guardian Law, quickly bowed to Ling Chen.
Seeing the white-browed elder first concede, the others exchanged glances. They weren’t foolish; from the previous conversation, it was apparent that Ling Chen’s status was extraordinary, as even Witch Gate’s Left Guardian Law was extremely respectful. Who exactly was this person?
Left Guardian Law said, "Holy Lord Ling Chen has returned to the East Sea, why didn’t you notify us in advance? If the Holy Lord is overlooked, we will receive the Witch Goddess’s reprimands."
"It was just a small matter, not worth making a great fuss. I just didn’t expect that I couldn’t even handle such a small matter here."
Ling Chen laughed self-deprecatingly.
Upon hearing this, Left Guardian Law also glared at the white-browed elder, "Holy Lord Ling Chen’s words are indistinguishable from the Witch Goddess’s commands. White Brows, do you dare defy orders?"
The white-browed elder’s complexion turned difficult, feeling like he had swallowed bitter herbs, unable to voice his concerns. Had he known Ling Chen’s identity, he would have hurriedly welcomed him, never uttering a single objection.
Behind them, Luo Xian’er and Shen Qianlang were both too shocked to close their mouths. Though they were in Jingzhou, they knew that Witch Gate was the Empress Yunyao’s appointed Tenth Great Family, and a figure like Left Guardian Law commanded immense respect within Witch Gate, yet showed such deference to Ling Chen?
Ling Chen holds more authority in Witch Gate than Left Guardian Law?
This is terrifying.
"Forget it, ignorance is not a crime."
Ling Chen waved his hand, not intending to pursue the white-browed elder’s wrongdoing, then turned to Left Guardian Law, "Since you are here, I’ll leave this matter to you."
"From now on, Nine Spirit Island needs no other powers; a single Qing Mountain Sword Sect is enough."
"Yes."
Left Guardian Law nodded. Though Nine Spirit Island was significant, it was insignificant in the eyes of Witch Gate, like a drop in the ocean.
