Chapter 346: Chapter 231: I am Xuanwu

Translator: 549690339

Western China Region.

Border between Yunzhou Province and Xi Shan Province.

Underground.

Holy Sect’s base.

A cave similar to a large square is no longer empty like before.

Many followers of the Holy Sect, dressed in black robes, kneel on the ground, waiting quietly.

Looking around,

A dense crowd of hundreds of people can be seen.

Chou and Mao are at the very front.

Their eyes are filled with excitement.

The direction in which everyone is kneeling is a high platform inside the cave.

There is no one on that platform, just a stone seat standing tall.

It seems that the object of their worship has not yet arrived.

Western China Region.

Although it is mostly mountainous and has vast forests,

The number of seals and slumbering lands that appeared here is very small.

One can even say there are not even half as many as in other regions.

Most of the Holy Sect personnel assigned here have not made any major mistakes and have a peaceful temperament. They belong to can die, but there is no need to force them to die.

Unlike those who are utterly evil, most of them are sent to Kyoto or places with more missions.

Therefore,

Within two hours of Holy Sect’s headquarters sending the message that the newly appointed Black Tortoise would soon be taking office,

Almost all the followers of Holy Sect who could attend were already present, waiting quietly for the arrival of the newly appointed Black Tortoise. Although nobody speaks on the order from Chou and Mao,

Are filled with apprehension.

In the past several years,

Western China Region, nominally, has been managed by the previous Black Tortoise.

In reality,

At that time, the Black Tortoise was simply a hands-off boss, the kind who didn’t even bother to show their face.

No other reason,

Except that there were too few places worth their attention in Western China.

The actual managers,

Were Chou and Mao.

At first,

When they first received the news about the transfer,

Most people thought it was just a formality.

They respectfully shouted the title of Lord Xuanwu to boost morale, then everybody went their separate ways after that.

But when they first arrived here,

The followers sensed something wrong on Chou and Mao’s faces.

The two seemed very excited about the arrival of the new Xuanwu.

The stone seat on the platform was temporarily carved out by Mr. Chou himself.

Many people found out about Chen Sheng’s exceptional strength only after inquiring the followers who had participated in the mission previously.

Hearing this information,

Instead of being excited like Chou and Mao, they were filled with fear.

In the past ten years,

Western China was known as the “nursing home” for the Holy Sect followers. Most of those who came here were given false identities,

They only needed to help the Holy Sect gather some intelligence and rarely had to take on life-threatening missions.

Many people in the audience still maintained their identity as Holy Sect followers,

But they had already taken advantage of the false identities provided by the Holy Sect, and started living ordinary lives.

Some even had families and children.

Therefore,

They were naturally terrified when the Holy Sect suddenly sent a powerful person to take over Western China.

They feared that they would have to do more and more tasks, even risking their lives to complete missions in the future.

In that case,

The peaceful lives they had worked so hard to achieve would disappear completely.

so,

Many of those kneeling on the ground had already started planning,

How to deal with the worst-case scenario.

Just like that,

As everyone pondered,

Time slowly slipped away.

After another ten minutes,

“Silence!”

Although there was no sound in the cave, Mr. Chou still warned everyone.

The hearts of the people were frightened.

Xuanwu,

Has arrived.

Step.

The sound of shoes touching solid stone reverberated.

Seeing as everyone is kneeling,

The identity of the person walking is obvious.

Step, step.

The sound came from behind and gradually approached the front.

One step at a time.

Chen Sheng walked at a leisurely pace.

He is now,

Wearing a black robe.

Wearing a pure black mask on his face, with only the deep blue color of his pupils exposed.

His gaze swept across the surroundings.

Every Holy Sect follower bowed their heads deeply.

No one dared to look up.

Chen Sheng did not release any aura,

But he could clearly see that many people were so nervous that their bodies had started trembling.

This is the power,

Power that comes with strength.

From ancient times to the present, power has always been the most intoxicating thing.

For Chen Sheng,

Although he is not interested in it, he does not reject it either.

Because,

What he is going to do next,

Just happens to require the assistance of power.

With those thoughts in mind,

Chen Sheng walks step by step to the deepest part of the cave.

Steps onto the platform.

Looks at the stone seat in front of him.

From the marks and scattered stones around it,

It seems that Chou and Mao built it temporarily after hearing the news of his arrival.

A grand display.

Swoosh-

Chen Sheng doesn’t mind enjoying it,

He lifts the black robe,

Sits down on the stone seat with a strong and forceful manner.

Looks down on the hundreds of Holy Sect followers kneeling before him.

“I am Xuanwu.” As the words fall,

“Greetings, Lord Xuanwu!”

Chou and Mao raise their arms and shout again, kneeling towards Chen Sheng.

They look like lackeys.

“Greetings to Lord Xuanwu! ”

Followers from behind do the same.

Hundreds of people shouted in unison,

Even the surrounding caves were trembling slightly, and stones fell from time to time.

“Hmm.”

Chen Sheng faintly responded.

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to echo in everyone’s ear.

“Starting from today,”

“I will be in charge of the Western China area..”
