After hearing Ye Li's words and seeing the expression on his face, Qu Bujin waved to the tribesmen behind him and said, "Everyone, please stand up. The master is not used to everyone kneeling down."
After hearing his words, everyone in the Celestial Clan stood up.
Ye Li discovered that these people from the Celestial Clan, whom he had only met once, were looking at him with such piety on their faces, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Qu Bujin bowed in front of Ye Li and said, "Master, let's go back to the base first, I will take you to see our clan leader.
The old man has been in seclusion for a long time. We are the ones who handle the affairs of the clan, and we rarely see him.
I think he will be very happy to hear the news of your arrival, Master."
Hearing Qu Bujin's words, Ye Li touched his nose and said, "Um... My name is Ye Li... Can you just call me by my name?"
Qu Bujin shook his head upon hearing this, and said with a face full of resistance: "How can that be possible? You are the successor designated by the Lord of the Time, so you are naturally our master. We dare not call you by your name."
Hearing Qu Bujin's words, Ye Li could only sigh helplessly. He could see a stubbornness in the expressions of the Celestial Clan people. It was obvious that they were very serious about calling Ye Li master.
After reluctantly accepting this title, Ye Li followed Qu Bujin and ran towards the Celestial Clan’s headquarters.
Along the way, Ye Li was a little worried about the Nanhai Gangs behind him, and said: "The Nanhai Gangs should be following closely behind us. We were just delayed for a while, they won't catch up with us, right?"
Qu Bujin shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Master, don't worry, the paths we take you on are the right paths without dangers or traps.
Now that Ke Rui has been subdued by us, he has no way of passing on information to the South China Sea gangs. The South China Sea gangs must be walking on the road where we have set a trap.
There will be people blocking them along the way, so their speed will not be too fast.
When we take you back to see the clan leader, we will organize all our forces to defend against the Nanhai gangs and make sure they don’t have a chance to win this war.”
After hearing Qu Bujin's words, Ye Li felt a little relieved and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Let's go meet your clan leader first."
The distance from the cliff to the base below was not too far. Judging from the speed of many talisman masters, it took only more than half an hour to reach the base.
Seeing everyone returning, the Celestial Clan people in the garrison hurried out to greet them.
"Bujin, how come you guys came back so soon? Aren't those guys controlled by the illusion array?"
An old man said to Qu Bujin with a puzzled look on his face.
Qu Bujin glanced at Ke Rui who was still in a coma, a helpless look appeared on his face, and he shook his head and said, "Something unexpected happened, and those guys broke through the illusion array and got out.
They should be on their way here by now, and the trap can delay them for a while.
I am going to see the clan leader soon. The master has appeared. According to the prophecy of the Lord of Time, when the master appears, it is the time for us, the Celestial Clan, to leave here."
Hearing Qu Bujin's words, the elder and the people around him were all shocked. They had never expected that the master they had been waiting for thousands of years would appear so suddenly.
"No, the master you are talking about... could it be... could it be this little brother!?"
The old man had noticed the strange face standing next to Qu Bujin and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Qu Bujin nodded and said, "This is the master. He has the Time Master's gourd on him, and Lord Qingzhou is also here. He himself mentioned the name of our Tianshi clan, so it must be true."
Hearing Qu Bujin's words, the elder quickly took the lead and knelt down towards Ye Li.
Seeing his actions, a group of confused people from the Celestial Clan gathered over in the distance.
When they learned that their master had appeared, all the Celestial Clan members present began to kneel down in Ye Li's direction.
The commotion here naturally attracted more people from the Celestial Clan. After knowing the situation, everyone rushed towards Ye Li and knelt in front of Ye Li.
Seeing everyone's eyes filled with piety, Ye Li suddenly felt a little unbelievable.
It is hard to imagine how loyal these people are to Old Man Zhou Shi, which would make them kneel down devoutly in front of Ye Li whom they had just met.
Qu Bujin was originally standing, but after seeing everyone kneeling, he immediately led the Celestial Clan people around him to kneel again in front of Ye Li.
Ye Li looked at the crowd kneeling around him, his face full of helplessness.
"You all... please stand up. I don't know what to say if you keep kneeling like this.
Now that the Nanhai gangs are still behind us, I think we should stop doing these empty formalities."
Knowing that he could not stop these people from the Celestial Clan from expressing their piety, Ye Li no longer stopped them from recognizing him as their master. However, he still could not get used to the act of kneeling down.
"Everyone, please stand up. The master is kind and considerate and doesn't want us to bow down to him."
Qu Bujin stood up first and spoke to the people of the Celestial Clan.
For a group of people with deep beliefs, their way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people.
As long as these Tian people are sure of Ye Li's identity, they will immediately serve Ye Li with utmost piety, without any barriers or resistance at all.
This is something that is difficult for ordinary people to accept. Take Ye Li for example. It is difficult for him to even accept himself as the master, let alone accept himself as the servant. It is absolutely impossible.
After hearing Qu Bujin's words, the people of the Celestial Clan stood up one after another.
Ye Li turned to Qu Bujin and said, "Let's go meet your clan leader first. You should also make early preparations for the things happening in the South China Sea gangs."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Qu Bujin nodded respectfully, and then said: "Everyone, the master has ordered everyone to prepare to deal with the attacks of the South China Sea gangs.
The people from their South China Sea gangs have already broken through the obstruction of the illusion array and are moving towards this side.
The enemy's goal, in addition to annihilating our Celestial Clan, is to take our holy land.
In order to protect the holy land from being invaded by the other side, all of us in the Celestial Clan must form the final front and must withstand the attacks of the South China Sea gangs!!!"
Upon hearing this, the people of the Celestial Clan roared in anger, and everyone's expression was filled with fighting spirit.
When Ye Li saw such people from the Celestial Clan, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked, because he discovered that there were no ordinary people in the entire Celestial Clan.
The men, women, young and old standing in front of it are all talisman masters. Although there are differences in their realms, there is no difference in status. All of them are capable of fighting.
