The people in this small town were actually the outer members and their families of the Nether Temple, and at the center of the town, there was a building simr to an ancient pce.


    This pce had been renovated and expanded upon from the foundation of an old castle!


    Of course, this pce was none other than the headquarters of the Nether Temple!


    As Su Chen''s old car approached a few hundred meters from the pce''s main gate, he stopped.


    "Rise!"


    As soon as Su Chen got out of the car, he heard a voice.


    No sooner had the voice faded than there erupted a deafening drum roll, along with the crackling sound of firecrackers, startling Su Chen immensely!


    He couldn''t help but look up, and was instantly dumbfounded!


    There was a thick red carpetid out in front of the main gate, extending inside, and at the gate, packed tight, stood two to three hundred people. As soon as they saw Su Chen exit the car, they immediately kneeled down and shouted in unison:


    "Wee, Hall Master!"


    Every face was alight with excitement and joy; they were all core members of the Nether Temple!


    Above the entrance, a long banner was strung, with an eye-catching message: Warmly Wee the Hall Master Back!


    Su Chen waspletely stunned at this scene!


    What''s going on here?


    Eniel and Shadow, following him, both had a hint of amusement on their faces, seemingly having been aware of this all along.


    "Everyone, get up,"


    Su Chen walked up to the main gate and said, then asked in confusion:


    "What''s all this about?"


    "It was Clown''s idea. He said since you haven''t been back for such a long time, we should prepare a wee ceremony with Huaxia characteristics,"


    Demon said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, he too seemed a little ufortable with it!


    "Hall Master, how do you like it? Are you satisfied?"


    At this moment, Clown popped up from somewhere, squinted his eyes, and smirked at Su Chen.


    "Satisfied my ass!"


    Su Chen couldn''t help but p Clown''s head and said irritably:


    "Only you woulde up with these shy stunts. Take it all down!"


    "I said that you wouldn''t like this and you wouldn''t listen!"


    Lone Wolf said dismissively at the side.


    "When did you say that? I didn''t hear anything,"


    Clown retorted with dissatisfaction. Indeed, Lone Wolf had said so, it''s just Clown believed the Hall Master would definitely like it, hence he insisted on doing it!


    Demon and the others also felt there was no need to do this; they were not very fond of such formalities on the surface.


    However, this was just a trifle, and since Clown wanted to do it, they just let him. Maybe the Hall Master would like it?


    The others burst into "tittering"ughter at the sight of Clown seeming a little deted.


    "What are youughing at? Hurry up and clean this up!"


    Clown said crossly, as theughter grew, but they started cleaning up the things they had set up earlier in the morning.


    Although the Nether Temple had strict rules and a clear hierarchy, people were quite informal with each other in their daily interactions.


    This was also because Su Chen was such a person and it influenced them; they found this way of interacting morefortable.


    It was an important reason why the Nether Temple had such strong cohesion: firstly, treating everyone as a person and not a machine or even a ve!


    After that, Demon, Clown, Eniel, Lone Wolf, Military de, and a dozen other leaders followed Su Chen inside, while the others, of course, didn''t have that privilege yet!


    "Demon, have you prepared all the things I asked for before?"


    As Su Chen walked inside, he asked.


    "I prepared them long ago; they''re ced in the yard behind the main hall."


    The Demon answered. Right after Su Chen had instructed him, he immediatelymanded others to take care of it.


    "Hall Master, what do you want with those rocks and the finest jade?"


    Even though he had meticulouslypleted Su Chen''s orders, he was still clueless about what Su Chen was actually nning.


    "You''ll know when the timees."


    Su Chen smiled mysteriously and continued walking straight ahead.


    Then, the others followed Su Chen into a yard behind the main hall, and upon entering, they were all somewhat taken aback. They saw that the ce was filled with various rocks and some old trees that had been transnted there.


    "Su Chen, what are you nning to do with all this?"


    Eniel couldn''t help but express her astonishment. She had felt something strange after overhearing their conversation, and now seeing so many rocks and old trees, she was even more puzzled!


    The rest also wore simr expressions of confusion, uncertain about what the Hall Master intended to do.


    "Alright, the rest of you can get on with your tasks. I can handle this alone."


    Su Chen waved his hand and said.


    Of course, Su Chen needed all these items to arrange the Gathering Yuan Formation, which would also speed up the cultivation pace of everyone in the Temple, critically enhancing the overall strength of the Nether Temple.


    Having returned to the Temple, Su Chen didn''t mind spending a bit more time on this.


    "Hall Master, don''t you need help?" the Demon asked.


    "No need, you wouldn''t be able to help even if you stayed."


    Su Chen said offhandedly:


    "I''ll be busy for a while, let''s talk tonight."


    Su Chen had them go about their own business not because he was worried they would see him setting up the formation, but because there was no need to have so many people trailing behind him.


    In fact, even if they watched him, they might not understand; the Way of Formation wouldn''t be so straightforward if Array Masters weren''t so rare!


    Upon hearing this, the Demon and the others took their leave, yet Eniel decided to stay.


    Su Chen felt someone still behind him and couldn''t help but nce back.


    "What? Do you want to chase me away too?"


    Eniel, seeing Su Chen''s nce, retorted indignantly.


    "If you want to stay, then stay!"


    Su Chen shrugged, knowing full well that if he dared to ask her to leave, he would be in for trouble.


    He also knew that Eniel wanted to spend more time with him, so what else could he say?


    Shadow had wanted to stay as well, but after a nce at the two of them, she walked out with the others.


    After all, the two had a rare chance to be together, and she didn''t want to be a third wheel!


    Su Chen''s immediate concern wasn''t Eniel but rather the essential points and pivotal elements of the medium Gathering Yuan Formation he was contemting in his mind.


    Yes, Su Chen nned to try setting up a medium Gathering Yuan Formation, and if that proved unsessful, he would arrange a smaller one.


    Although Su Chen had left early in the morning to catch a flight, due to the time difference and the flight duration, it was only about nine or ten in the morning in Morillo at the moment.


    For the time following, Su Chen was continuously shuttling in and out of the pce, now cing a stone here and constantly adjusting its position, now nting a tree there...


    His busy figure naturally drew the attention of others. The Demon and the rest lived in the pce, naturally noticing Su Chen''s actions and being utterly baffled by them.


    Not just them—the constantly attending Eniel also found it iprehensible and had no idea what he was doing...
