Inside the hall, everyone else was cheering.

Seventeen Quasi-Emperors, no less!

A star-studded lineup, deluxe edition, isn't it?

At this level, probably only the Everlasting Hall and the Nine-Star Demon Hall can compare, right?

But Sect Leader Jiang was feeling 'heavy-hearted'.

He could deal with Mo Chen being a Quasi-Emperor. At their first meeting, he was already an Immortal and knew his background.

Shan Tai and Wei Miao luckily were Demon Kings, so in front of them, he wouldn't lose face.

But the dozen or so Quasi-Emperors after them were all disciple-status.

This guy's mind works differently than others.

He was pondering a crucial question, which is how to maintain the supreme and invincible image of being the Sect Leader.

Maybe, it's better to wait until he's a Quasi-Emperor to reveal his identity.

The atmosphere in the hall was incredibly lively, full of joy, and he suddenly spoke up.

"Don't mention my existence to Ji Linghan, Lin Ning, Luo Yuan, and others from now on."

"In the future, in the Dragon Race, I will present myself as the Azure Dragon Emperor, and you must pretend to have just known me. Understood?"

In his view, the status of the Azure Dragon Emperor seemed much more prestigious than being Sect Leader Jiang.

Seeing this, Ji Linghan and Luo Yuan would probably respect him a bit more, wouldn't they?

Thinking about it that way, he was quite pleased with himself.

But the others couldn't understand.

Ah?

Huh?

Why is that?

You're already so close, everyone dreams of seeing you, why not reveal yourself?

Shan Tai and Wei Miao were extremely puzzled!

"Sect Leader, Senior Sister Ji has been calling your name in her dreams several times!"

"Yeah, do you have an issue with her or something?"

Brother Cheng couldn't state the actual reason, so he had to concoct an excuse.

"Of course I have no issue..."

"Well, I'm just afraid they'd get too excited and affect their mindset."

Everyone was immediately at a loss for words.

They're already Quasi-Emperors; no excitement would make them so fragile, right?

"But you can't always pretend not to know each other."

"When the right time comes, I'll reveal my identity."

When the time comes and he's a Quasi-Emperor, he can make a grand appearance.

So, the high and mighty Azure Dragon Emperor is actually the Sect Leader?

Ah, you're even more awesome than we imagined, even more admirable!

Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

"But what if Senior Sister asks?"

"With so many of us, someone might slip up..."

Shan Tai was still reluctant; he really wanted to rush back and announce the happy news so that everyone could rejoice together.

"You've reminded me. With so many people, it's hard to keep a secret."

If Ji Linghan really asked, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Sheng, and others couldn't refuse to answer!

Brother Cheng immediately waved his hand and cast a Witch Race curse technique on all Feixian Sect disciples, as well as Xiao Kun, Jiyun, and others.

From now on, no one could utter the words Sect Leader Jiang, Elder Jiang, Ancestral Master, or Jiang Cheng.

If someone accidentally said it, it would automatically become Azure Dragon Emperor.

The curse would last until he personally revealed his identity.

No one would die from it, nor was there any harm.

But casting a curse on your own disciples, this really stunned everyone present.

Big bro, this tactic is rather outrageous, isn't it?

"I got it!"

Mo Chen, who hadn't spoken and was frowning in thought, suddenly clapped his hands.

"I understand the Sect Leader's deep intention!"

You understand again?

You could guess even this?

Even Brother Cheng was a bit surprised.

He hadn't cursed Immortal Mo only because he was already a Quasi-Emperor, and his realm was too high, where even the Great Perfection Curse Rule couldn't work.

Listening to Immortal Mo's smug tone as if 'I understood, why haven't you?'.

"The Sect Leader has far-reaching vision!"

Where is my far-reaching vision?

Brother Cheng pondered secretly, could preserving one's dignity be considered far-reaching?

Mo Chen boasted proudly: "The Sect Leader temporarily doesn't reveal his identity and continues to present himself as a Cyan Dragon. This makes ruling the Azure Dragon Race more convenient. Imagine if you were a Cyan Dragon and saw the Dragon Emperor always in human form, there might be resentment."

Brother Cheng thought to himself, you're overthinking it; if I wanted to transform back into a Cyan Dragon, even old man Cang Ji would have to call me 'Shuaicheng'.

Mo Chen continued: "Secondly, it avoids the Cyan Dragon and Golden Dragon seeing us as the same family!"

"If they knew the Sect Leader and the Azure Dragon Emperor were the same person, what would they think?"

Everyone pondered deeply and found it to be true.

The Feixian Sect and the Azure Dragon Race, these two forces are both significant.

If they collaborated, it would be enough to influence the Dragon Race's dynamics.

If they were to discover that the leaders of these two forces were the same person, it would be even more astonishing, probably generating fear and wariness.

Mo Chen, with excitement: "The Sect Leader is planning ahead, deliberately letting outsiders think that Azure Dragon Valley and Feixian Sect have two different leaders."

"This move... will be of great use in the future!"

Everyone suddenly realized and collectively expressed admiration.

Brother Cheng was bewildered by this.

Oh, so I'm this smart!

Mo Chen wasn't finished yet.

"Thirdly..."

There's a third reason?

Even Brother Cheng felt he couldn't keep up.

"The Sect Leader not telling Ji Linghan and Lin Ning shows painstaking care!"

"Think about it carefully, with the Sect Leader's protection in the past, could everyone stand up and take charge?"

Shan Tai and Wei Miao were momentarily stunned, then shook their heads.

In the past, under Sect Leader Jiang, everyone laid back under the big tree; everything was arranged perfectly, and they just had to relax.

To be honest, after Brother Cheng disappeared for a billion years, they were forced to become capable on their own.

"Thus..."

"If the Sect Leader reveals his identity now, everyone would definitely become complacent once more, expecting him to handle all the problems, keeping themselves safe behind the scenes."

"The current major enemies of the Immortal and Demon Realms remain, and the Dragon Race's situation is unclear too..."

Immortal Mo shook his robe sleeve, standing up with resolve: "Don't forget, this is no ordinary peacetime, but a critical moment!"

"He hopes everyone continues to stand on their own and work hard!"

"Do you understand this painstaking intention?"

This speech was so heartfelt and resounding.

Initially, Shan Tai and Wei Miao, who had some misunderstanding, suddenly realized.

The two bowed deeply, full of shame: "We understand, we will definitely follow your wishes! We will not slack off!"

While in the hall, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Shu, Yuan He, and Leng Huahan felt even more ashamed.

We really were so useless.

Coming to the Upper Immortal Realm, they purely thought of relying on the Ancestral Masters for shelter and protection.

Never considered that they should stand up and ease the burdens of their Ancestral Masters.

After profound reflection, the entire sect was filled with renewed vigor!

Brother Cheng was completely convinced.

Besides posturing, he hadn't thought of anything else, and Mo Chen ingeniously filled in so many justifiable reasons.

He pat Mo Chen's shoulder appreciatively.

"The only one who knows me is always you, Elder Mo!"

This sentence brought Immortal Mo to tears with excitement.

After a billion years apart, the title of 'Child of the Plane' and closest confidant still belonged to him!

He trembled as he spoke: "Helping the Sect Leader is Mo Chen's duty!"

"I will strive harder!"

"Certainly!"
