“Chen…Deputy Patriarch?”
Tang Hao, Tang Gengming, and the others looked at each other in dismay. For a moment, they were all speechless.
In the history of Ancient Gods Clan, there had never been such a position as Deputy Patriarch.
Chen Luoyang could be considered the first in history.
Tang Yiming called it unprecedented in the history of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan, and it was appropriate that it was added today.
It was just that the fact that Chen Luoyang was the first to take advantage of this position still stunned everyone.
Even though everyone knew that Chen Luoyang’s strength was extraordinary and that he wasn’t comparable to an ordinary Martial Emperor at the 15th realm, the experts in the Ancient Gods Clan were as common as the clouds, and there were more than one or two Martial Saints.
The Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s main sect also had people with cultivation above the 16th realm.
In terms of strength and achievements, what Chen Luoyang could do didn’t mean that others couldn’t do it. Furthermore, there was someone who could do it even better than him.
However, Jiang Yi had never made an exception for anyone and placed them in the position of Deputy Sect Leader.
Although Jiang Yi had a high prestige in the Ancient Gods Clan and his words carried weight, it was still unbelievable that a Martial Emperor was placed above so many Martial Saints.
No one was convinced.
Jiang Yi needed to use his own prestige to support Chen Luoyang in order to suppress the voices below.
To a certain extent, this was the prestige of Jiang Yi and not some newly appointed Deputy Sect Leader.
While everyone was not convinced by this, they also felt that it was unbelievable.
Why did Sect Master Jiang Yi insist on doing this?
The Union of Gods and Demons didn’t even go through it and directly used their authority to make a decision.
“Control the Divine Devil Palace…” “With Cult Master’s arrangement, the so-called Deputy Cult Master is no longer just an empty position.” Tang Hao sighed.
Vice Sect Leader sounded awe-inspiring. He was below one person and above ten thousand people.
However, the problem was that any position with the word ” deputy ” in front of it could become a nominal position.
Whether or not he could really wield real power and play a role depended on the ability and willingness of the person in charge, in addition to his own ability.
If Chen Luoyang only took on the title of ‘Deputy Sectmaster’, although many people would find it hard to accept it, there would be more or less people who would grit their teeth and accept it.
In any case, the other party did not have any real power. For the sake of the sect master, it was fine for him to address him as “Deputy Sect Master” verbally. If he really wanted to ignore him, the other party would not be able to do anything to him.
However, Jiang Yi had arranged for Chen Luoyang to take charge of the Divine Devil Palace. This was a clear signal that this so-called Deputy Sect Leader wasn’t just a title. He had real power.
Most of the people in the Divine Devil Palace were only focused on martial arts and did not take on specific tasks, but their own significance was extraordinary.
All the high-level experts of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan had come out of the Divine Demon Palace back then.
Only after entering the Divine Devil Palace could one have the hope of learning the best unique skills of the Ancient Gods Clan. On the other hand, one could take up a position of real power in the future, ascend to a high-level position, and even compete for the position of the next Hierarch.
The person in charge of the Divine Devil Palace had always been Sect Master Jiang Yi himself.
He was also in charge of guiding the disciples in the palace. He would often give them a few casual pointers, which had already benefited them greatly.
Now that Chen Luoyang had landed in this position, could he bear this responsibility?
Everyone looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, everyone thought of how many Divine Martial Demon Fist techniques that Chen Luoyang had mastered that were missing from the Red Dust Sect’s main sect.
Was it because of this that Sect Master Jiang Yi made such arrangements?
Tang Hao’s haggard face was solemn as he shook his head gently.
Jiang Yi would definitely consider this, but it was not the whole reason.
Chen Luoyang controlled the Divine Devil Palace, so he might have to take out some real materials. However, he might be able to obtain even more.
Knowing the Divine Devil Palace meant that he could also freely read the top secret divine art manuals of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan.
Chen Luoyang might not need the most important Godfiend Blood.
However, the Ancient Gods Clan did not only have one set of Demon God Blood.
For example, the Supernatural Skill of Underhand had always been as famous
as the Demon God Blood.
Just like how the South Chu Dynasty collected the secret books of the Big Dipper Magnetic True Kang, the Ancient Gods Clan’s library was equally precious. It contained many powerful unique skills and even divine skills that were difficult to cultivate and even extinct in the mortal world.
It wasn’t certain how much Chen Luoyang would pay.
However, the things he could obtain were already foreseeable bountiful.
From the way Cult Master Jiang Yi arranged for Chen Luoyang to enter the God Demon Palace, it fully reflected two problems.
The first was trust. He had directly assigned the Divine Devil Palace, which had been completely under Jiang Yi’s control, to Chen Luoyang.
Now, it was time to see the specific situation and see if Chen Luoyang could rely on his own abilities to gain a firm foothold in the Divine Devil Palace, a place where the top young experts of the Ancient Gods Clan gathered.
Secondly, Jiang Yi viewed Chen Luoyang with great importance.
The elder who was second only to the Patriarch in the Elder Pavilion didn’t become the Deputy Patriarch.
In the end, it was this kid from the world below the mortal world who ascended to the heavens in one step?
“Even my own son doesn’t get such good treatment. This is simply…” Tang Gengming muttered softly.
Just like how the father and son of the Tian family were heartless and the Crown Prince was the most difficult to get along with his father, it was impossible to expect Jiang Yi to abdicate and give up his position. The current situation could indeed be said to be the greatest concession that Jiang Yi could give.
Tang Gengming didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone could guess what he was going to say.
Because everyone had the same thought.
Even his own son did not receive such good treatment. This was simply like the Sect Master’s biological father…
” To be able to obtain the help of Azure Dragon Island Lord and Swordmaster Darknorth, as well as being valued so highly by the Cult Master, could it be that he’s really…” Someone wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the last thousand years or so, there had only been two people in the mortal world who could have such an intimidating presence.
One of them was Ye Tianmo. Now that there was news that he had nurtured the
Great Emperor of Western Qin, it wasn’t impossible for him to nurture another Chen Luoyang.
However, he left behind a bad reputation and became the public enemy of the mortal world. Although his Ancient Gods Clan was counted as a demonic sect,
Jiang Yi, the leader of the Ancient Gods Clan, was also one of the masters of the mortal world who besieged Ye Tianmo.
Then, other than Ye Tianmo, there was only…
In the quiet room, the group of people looked at each other in silence.
“In short, don’t provoke him for now,” Tang Yi said clearly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Tang Yiming said to his brother Tang Gengming, “”Let Xin Ming come back.” “Yes, big brother.” Tang Gengming said.
“Then who will fill the position of Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s Chief?” Tang Hao asked.
“I’m not sure yet.” “But it’s most likely one of the two people in the Divine Devil Palace,” Tang Yi said clearly.
“No matter who stays in the Divine Devil Palace, they won’t be able to face the current situation.” “Let’s wait and see,” said Tang Hao as he stroked his white beard.
Chen Luoyang’s current thoughts were actually…
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Because when he heard the title of ‘Deputy Patriarch,’ the first impression that came to his mind was that of a big shot holding an embroidery needle.
Of course, he knew that the Sect Master Jiang Yi didn’t mean that, but he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Is this a disguised reminder to me not to think about seizing the throne?
Jiang Yi’s arrangement was slightly out of Chen Luoyang’s expectations.
It even made him slightly alert.
The other party had accurately grasped some of his psychological movements. If he was the sect master for a day, he would be the sect master forever.
Even if he didn’t hold any actual position, he wouldn’t be ‘demoted’ to the level of the four hall chiefs and the Left and Right Messengers.
Everyone knew that the First Hall Chief of the Red Dust Sect was completely different from the First Hall Chief of the Ancient Gods Clan in the Divine Lands.
But to Chen Luoyang, it was a line that he insisted on.
This included a test of the Ancient Gods Clan.
In the end, Jiang Yi suddenly did this.
It should be said that it was in line with Chen Luoyang’s expectations.
His position was respected, but it was not a purely empty position. Jiang Yi’s handwriting was indeed extraordinary.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t sure if this place had the same habits as the Blue Planet.
Usually, when subordinates addressed their deputy leaders, they would not use the word “deputy” unless they were deliberately looking for trouble.
Even if it was a deputy position, most people would still call it ” Liu Ke, Director Wang, ” ” Director Zhao, ” ” Director Li, ” and so on.
If the situation here was the same, then most people would still call him ” Cult
Master Chen ” and not ” Deputy Cult Master Chen. ‘
It was hard to say what they were talking about behind his back, but at least when they met face to face, other than those who deliberately provoked him, no one would add the word “vice” in front of his “cult master”.
Other than placing him in this position, Jiang Yi had also displayed a supportive attitude. This was enough for many of the middle-of-the-road factions to continue speculating about the relationship between the two sides and establish Chen Luoyang’s prestige.
Jiang Yi adhered to the Demon Venerable’s rules and didn’t mention Chen Luoyang’s details.
His actions made everyone feel incredulous, but at the same time, it also reminded some people.
Such an abnormal action meant that either Jiang Yi had encountered something abnormal, or Chen Luoyang was far from ordinary.
The people of Ancient Gods Clan were suspicious. They had to think twice before they had any ideas.
Chen Luoyang knew that this also included Jiang Yi’s protection of Azure
Dragon Hall’s Chief, Lin Yan.
At this moment, Lin Yan was still grounded.
Jiang Yi didn’t let him come to Chen Luoyang to inform him in person. He only instructed someone to inform him after the matter was over.
As Lin Yan was his personal disciple, Jiang Yi clearly had the intention to protect him.
In response to Chen Luoyang’s generous conditions, he more or less hoped that both sides would turn hostility into friendship and that Chen Luoyang would no longer pursue the matter.
Of course, Chen Luoyang was now the Deputy Sect Leader of the Red Dust
Ancient Gods Clan. Those who knew of his relationship with the Demon Venerable couldn’t help but feel doubtful when they looked at the Ancient Gods Clan.
Although Jiang Yi’s generous gifts were heavy, Chen Luoyang’s return gift was not light either.
Chen Luoyang didn’t comment on this. He only found the Great Elder of the Ancient Gods Clan in the Divine Lands, Xie Chong, and instructed him to return to the Divine Lands and stay in the Divine Lands with Su Ye. He also arranged for Su Wei and the others to come to the Mortal Dust World later.
Because right now, he was about to head to the West Qin Imperial City..
