The solemn and sacred interior of the Sect's Grand Hall was eerily silent, so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
After such silence persisted for a quarter of an hour, the Sect Master of the Phoenix Creek Sect glanced at Hong Yuan and finally spoke, "Yuan, are you interested in taking command of the legion?"
In that instant, the silence was shattered.
The other True Disciples of Phoenix Creek were all staring intently at Hong Yuan, especially Lin Bu Jing and Long Zhandu, who were the most anxious.
With Hong Yuan's near-reclusive attitude of non-involvement in worldly affairs, the Phoenix Creek Sect was almost entirely under their control. They were accustomed to wielding life-and-death authority and being high above the rest. But they were also aware that in the hearts of the Supreme Elders, Hong Yuan's status was far above their own!
