Song Changsheng was troubled by doubt, so he barely heard a word of what Song Lutong said next.
Not long after the group returned to Ling Province, Yuann Tianshu arrived at Vast Mist Peak.
Song Changsheng prepared a grand ceremony for him. Before a crowd of esteemed guests, he personally appointed Yuann Tianshu as the Chief Honored Guest Elder of the Song Clan, a position with status equal to that of a Supreme Elder.
The news caused an immediate uproar. No one had expected the Song Clan to make such a major move in just a few short years.
The deterrent power of one Purple Mansion Cultivator versus two is drastically different. Even though Yuann Tianshu was only an Honored Guest, his presence still placed immense pressure on the surrounding powers of Ling Province.
Bearing the brunt of this was the Lieyang Sect. As mortal enemies of the Song Clan, every ounce of strength the Songs gained was a direct threat to them.
