Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1861 -1119: Divine General’s Path (Part 3)

Moreover, the Yellow Springs Hall holds special significance for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect. The three great halls of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect are all institutions belonging to the immortal cultivators. Although they practice Yin attribute cultivation techniques and command ghosts and ghost soldiers, they are genuinely immortal cultivators, just inclined towards Yin attribute techniques.

Incorporating the Yellow Springs Hall as the fourth hall is the aspiration of all ghost cultivators of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect. Ghost cultivators require an institution within the sect that stands alongside the three great halls, exclusively for ghost cultivators.

This was also one of the main reasons why the Yellow Springs Ancestor could join the Unpredictable Ghost Sect so effortlessly back then.

Thus, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect will not abandon the Yellow Springs Hall.

Inside the hall, Old Ghost Tianfeng stood at the forefront of the ghost cultivators. He bowed his head, presenting a humble posture, yet he slyly scrutinized Xiang Yuan seated at the main seat with the corner of his eyes.

Xiang Yuan was towering and robust, exuding an aura of might and authority. His face was resolute but carried a slightly disdainful expression. As he gazed at the ghost cultivators within the hall, his dark eyes were filled with undisguised scorn and indifference.

Feeling the weight of his gaze, Old Ghost Tianfeng’s heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head further.

The original Yellow Springs Hall, under the Yellow Springs Ancestor, had four top Ghost Generals: Tian Ye, Tian Feng, Tian Wu, and Tian Yi. These four Ghost Generals were considered disciples of the Yellow Springs Ancestor, trained personally by him and were his most reliable aides.

Under normal circumstances, they managed all affairs of the Yellow Springs Hall.

However, during the battle at the Yang Family Blessed Land, Tian Ye and Tian Wu were captured by Xuanzhen. Tian Feng and Tian Yi escaped punishment because they had not gone to the Yang family Blessed Land.

“Honestly, I don’t like you useless bunch. In my heart, you are of no use whatsoever!” Xiang Yuan said flatly.

Upon hearing this, the ghost cultivators in the hall dared not even breathe loudly, each lowering their heads in a wooden stupor.

It is better to bend than break!

With the fall of the Yellow Springs Ancestor, these ghost cultivators became wandering spirits.

It’s not that they have nowhere to go; with their strength, finding a place to settle is relatively easy.

However, it’s more comfortable under a big tree. Finding a place to settle is easy, but leaving the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and Yellow Springs Hall means losing their future prospects.

By leaning on a powerful force, they can acquire more resources.

They also wish to become a Ghost King, to take a seat of power, so they can only stand there obediently, enduring Xiang Yuan’s words of ridicule.

“However, since the sect assigned me to oversee the Yellow Springs Hall, I am obliged to spur you on!”

Xiang Yuan’s gaze swept across the ghost cultivators, his tone growing colder, “Currently, the sect will not assign any tasks to the Yellow Springs Hall, but you must not slack off. Strive to improve your cultivation; I do not wish to have a group of useless subordinates!”

“Do you understand?”

“Understood, we obey the decree of the Ghost King!” Tian Feng replied cleverly.

Subsequently, the other ghost cultivators echoed in a sparse chorus.

Xiang Yuan cast an approving look at Tian Feng and said, “Very well, since you all understand, you may withdraw now!”

In truth, he was reluctant to come to the Yellow Springs Hall. If not for the Sect Master’s personal arrangement, he would never have wanted to become a Hall Master.

The title of Yellow Springs Hall Master might sound like being a local emperor.

But Xiang Yuan is a Ghost King with aspirations. He would rather stay on Ghost Island, as the Yin spiritual energy is richer, and the resources are more abundant. He could obtain more resources on Ghost Island and remain by the Sect Master’s side.

This means he has transitioned from a close servant of the Sect Master to a regional governor.

The power seems to have increased significantly, but the benefits aren’t as plentiful.
