Chapter 506: The Vestigial Hegemon
Meng Tingfeng brought Ding Mian to a mansion allocated specifically for new guest elders. He would live there under supervision. Only after passing the Numinous Sword Sect’s test would he be given the status of outer guest elder and be gifted a land of his own on one of the outer peaks.
After settling Ding Mian, Meng Tingfeng flew toward one of the central peaks to report Ding Mian’s presence. When he entered the hall to report, his figure instantly attracted several gazes full of admiration. Among those gazes, there was hostility.
He didn’t find it strange. Although he was one of the two most likely people to become an immortal emperor, it didn’t mean everyone liked him. Especially since he was originally an ascender. Compared to him becoming a decision maker of the sect, they would rather a native become the decision maker.
Meng Tingfeng found them boring. They spent all their efforts on political intrigue, no wonder their cultivation stalled. Or was it because their cultivation stalled that they focused on external power?
Becoming an immortal monarch was far more difficult than becoming a true immortal. Geniuses who became true immortals instantly lost their brilliance in front of the insurmountable wall known as the worldly law.
After reporting Ding Mian’s presence, he turned to leave. On his way out the doors, he paused and saw a man leaning on it with his arms crossed. Next to him stood a beautiful woman in pink robes.
The man wore white like him, but it was obvious his clothes were more luxurious at first glance. More than that, the man had a youthful vitality on his face. Unlike Meng Tingfeng. Although he appeared in his thirties, the hair on his temples had already turned gray and he exuded an air of vicissitude.
“I didn’t expect to see you here. Were you watching for me, Ye Chen?”
The seemingly young man in his early twenties, snorted. “Don’t put gold on your face. What qualifications do you have to make me specially come to see you? Ever since Bao Ling disappeared, no one has been my opponent.”
