Chapter 1132: Sudden Frenzy

Amidst the crowd's astonishment, powerful auras continued to rush in from afar!

Several streaks of light landed on the ground simultaneously, and the sound of greetings echoed throughout the city!

"Greetings to all the seniors!"

In just a few moments, the number of those paying their respects had swelled to several thousand, each bowing and clasping their hands in utmost reverence. Among them were even Saint-level experts. Even if the Pavilion Master himself were to arrive, it wouldn't have caused such a commotion!

Elder Wang was completely dumbfounded, tentatively clearing his throat.

"Gentlemen, please rise?"

With a soft call, the several thousand cultivators actually obeyed and stood up, their eyes filled with reverence!

Seeing that his words had moved thousands, Elder Wang's eyes widened in shock!

Beside him, Elder Li also nearly gasped in astonishment!

These several thousand cultivators...

Were they really here to pay their respects to him?

Good heavens.

In all honesty, the Moon God Pavilion had been gaining some reputation recently, and as elders, they did carry a bit of weight, but certainly not to this extent!

It was unimaginable that they could command such respect?

Facing the fervent gazes of thousands, Elder Wang couldn't believe his eyes, feeling that he had lost control of the situation. He quickly spoke up to maintain decorum.

"Everyone, there's no need for this. We are unworthy..."

But as soon as he spoke, the surrounding cultivators became even more enthusiastic, clasping their fists and showering them with endless praises!

"Senior, you are too modest!"

"Seniors, you have slain the villains of the Red Sky Sect, a deed that will be remembered for generations. We can only express our gratitude through this humble gesture!"

"Senior! What everyone says is true. That night, I witnessed with my own eyes how you and the other seniors took action, annihilating the Red Sky Sect's airship in one fell swoop. Such righteousness is something we can never repay, even with a thousand bows!"

"Brother Fang speaks the truth! The seniors have righteously eliminated a great evil, allowing us to avenge our blood feud. We would gladly serve you even as oxen or horses!"

"Senior, you are too modest. This humble woman has long heard of the righteous deeds of the seniors. To have the honor of meeting you today is the greatest comfort of my life..."

"Seniors, you are the heroes of the Southern Sky Realm! It is only right that we pay our respects!"

...

The increasingly fervent crowd, their faces flushed with excitement, continued to express their reverence and gratitude!

There were righteous young men with reddened eyes, elderly men in long robes with white hair, talented juniors with extraordinary bearing, and even many beautiful female cultivators with tears in their eyes, stepping forward to pay their respects.

Hearing all these passionate words of reverence and feeling the overwhelming enthusiasm, the two elders finally managed to snap out of their daze.

They whispered to each other, still somewhat in disbelief.

"This..."

They had indeed destroyed a Red Sky Sect airship, and these people didn't seem to have mistaken their identities, but it was just one airship, nothing more. Was such enthusiasm really necessary?

The excessive reverence and enthusiasm were simply too exaggerated!

Before the two elders could even ask, the surrounding fervor was already on the verge of spiraling out of control!

Around the young elite disciples, people kept bowing and paying their respects. Many beautiful female cultivators even stepped forward, gracefully saluting with eyes full of admiration.

"Seniors, it is my great honor to meet you today!"

"Greetings to the seniors. This humble woman will never forget the privilege of meeting you..."

"Senior, this humble one is Xue Fang..."

Although the young disciples had cultivated for many years and experienced many storms, they had never seen such a spectacle.

Faced with a sea of beauties bowing respectfully before them, some even boldly offering personal gifts with shy and nervous expressions, it was enough to make anyone's head spin.

The thirty disciples were so overwhelmed by this unexpected fortune that they kept retreating, unsure of how to respond.

The two elders, despite their extensive experience, were also completely flustered by the overwhelming enthusiasm!

Such honor and reverence were something they had never encountered before. Even after slaying a group of Red Sky Sect members, they couldn't possibly accept such grand gestures from thousands of cultivators.

The tidal wave of cheers and adoration was almost suffocating!

Elder Wang's eyes widened as he kept signaling to the disciples to maintain their composure, lest they bring shame to the Moon God Pavilion. Elder Li, too, was terrified by the bizarre and exaggerated spectacle, not daring to respond casually.

Despite having witnessed countless grand scenes, both elders were now completely overwhelmed, as if they were in a dream.

The two elders found it utterly unbelievable!

Before they could speak again, a graceful noblewoman stepped forward, bowing elegantly.

"Seniors."

"This humble woman has long admired your great deeds and holds the utmost respect for your righteous actions. I have prepared a modest feast at my residence. If you would deign to grace my humble abode, I would be eternally grateful..."

The noblewoman, though no longer young, still retained her charm. Her eyes were captivating, and she was dressed in exquisite silk robes, her hair adorned with jade hairpins that exuded an extraordinary aura. Her attire and appearance were nothing short of stunning.

Though past her prime, one could still glimpse the beauty she must have been in her youth. She was undoubtedly a renowned beauty of her time, with remarkable cultivation and background—a rare gem indeed.

As the saying goes, a woman in her thirties is like a wolf, in her forties like a tiger, and after a thousand years, she could suck the earth dry...

This noblewoman was undoubtedly a top-tier beauty.

Such a beauty, lowering herself to pay respects to them?

The two elders were stunned, feeling a sense of dread!

They were well aware of their own limitations.

In terms of cultivation, they were only at the Saint level, far from being top-tier. They couldn't possibly command such respect. As for their appearance and demeanor, they weren't exactly irresistible.

Yet, here they were, two old men, suddenly becoming the center of such fervent attention?

This was absurd...

Absolutely ridiculous!

They had been with the Moon God Pavilion for many years and had risen to the rank of elders. While they weren't entirely without influence, they had never experienced such adulation before!

No matter how much they racked their brains, they couldn't fathom how they could possibly deserve such treatment.

According to what everyone was saying...

By killing a few Red Sky Sect lackeys, they had gained such high regard, their status and reputation skyrocketing to heights they had never dared to imagine...

This was complete nonsense!

At the end of the day, they had only eliminated a bunch of small fry. How could that warrant the entire city's reverence as if they were deities?

There must have been some misunderstanding...

As the surrounding enthusiasm and reverence continued to grow, reaching an unbearable level, Elder Li, filled with dread, waved his hands frantically!

"Everyone! Everyone!"

"There's no need for this. We merely eliminated a few minor villains. It's really nothing worth such grand gestures!"

His loud reassurance caused the thousands to freeze!

All the faces filled with reverence suddenly stiffened, as if they had heard something utterly shocking. Whether it was the stunning female cultivators or the various experts, everyone's eyes widened in unison!

Then, the sound of gasps filled the air!

"Sss!!!"

Everyone first showed expressions of shock and awe.

Then, their eyes sparkled with even greater admiration, their reverence increasing a thousandfold!

"Merely," "small fry," "nothing worth mentioning"!

Listen...

Such words truly exuded an extraordinary demeanor!

Despite having annihilated a great demon that had plagued the land for thousands of miles, effortlessly slaying Tu Daofang and the ten elders, they spoke of it so casually.

Their tone made it seem as if they were merely discussing a trivial matter, as if these seniors had simply crushed a few ants!

To the uninformed, it might seem like these seniors had only dealt with a few minor troublemakers.

But in reality!

Tu Daofang and the ten elders of the Red Sky Sect were terrifying figures who had destroyed several major sects, a formidable threat feared by tens of thousands!

For the seniors to have eliminated such a menace, leading to the complete downfall of the Red Sky Sect, their deeds were not just beneficial to a few, but a great boon to the entire Southern Sky Realm's myriad sects!

Despite having performed such world-saving feats, they spoke with such modesty, not boasting in the slightest. Such a mindset was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Such selfless nobility was truly rare in this world!

And the calm, casual tone in their voices further highlighted the seniors' terrifying cultivation and unparalleled confidence, exuding an invincible aura of a true master.

These seniors, whether in terms of cultivation or demeanor, had reached an unimaginable level!
