Chapter 2701: Chapter 2697: Another Review?_1
Yang Chen was surprised to hear of the Three Flowers Sacred District. The Three Flowers Sect?
However, his outward appearance remained calm and composed, and he gently said, "Thank you, senior, and thank you to all the seniors here."
"Hahaha, we are all human beings, now united against a common enemy. There is no need for gratitude when facing the Netherworld ghosts of the Extreme Yin Land."
"Yes, there is no need to be overly courteous."
"What’s your name?" Ling Hua Heavenly Venerable asked with concern.
Yang Chen replied honestly, "Junior Yang Chen!"
Ling Hua Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly and then continued in a gentle tone, "Yang Chen, are you sure you are the messenger who came from the south?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, "The junior was given a special task and traveled all the way from the south, across mountains and rivers, to get here."
Upon hearing this, all the Heavenly Venerables exchanged glances, and their expressions grew more solemn and serious.
So many strong individuals had gathered here not simply because Yang Chen was special or anything like that.
In fact, even if Yang Chen were special or had come as a messenger from a far-off place, they wouldn’t have so many boundaryless powerhouses guarding this area. Ultimately, it was because Yang Chen, as a messenger, had brought something important for the northern side!
Ling Hua Heavenly Venerable lowered her voice, staring intently at Yang Chen, and her red lips opened slightly, "So, Yang Chen, what important message has the south side sent you to bring to us with such a long and arduous journey?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen didn’t rush to speak; instead, he glanced around, not entirely at ease.
Ling Hua Heavenly Venerable and Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable understood what Yang Chen meant. They waved towards the outside, signaling to secure the perimeter.
Many strong individuals immediately deployed prohibition arrays to ensure that no one could eavesdrop.
Yang Chen said solemnly, "I’ll share this information with just three people, specifically the three of you."
Yang Chen pointed with his finger.
There were three powerhouses — Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable and Ling Hua Heavenly Venerable were two of them, while the name and title of the third Heavenly Venerable was unknown.
His reason for only telling these three Heavenly Venerables was that, before he had passed out, his memory only included these three Heavenly Lord powerhouses. Thus, he trusted these three people the most.
Even now, he was still vigilant and knew that the message should not be shared with too many people to ensure that the Netherworld beings did not learn of the past events. After all, they were of great importance.
Yang Chen’s actions made some other Heavenly Venerables unhappy, especially Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable, whose expression was cold and stern as he shouted, "This is absurd! Are we not trustworthy enough for you? What’s your intention, boy?"
Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable waved his hand, "Alright. We will relay this to the Dharma King and True King, and they will decide. For now, the fewer people who know about this, the better."
There was nothing left for Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable to say. He glared at Yang Chen, clearly blaming him for his current frustrations.
Yang Chen could see that Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable seemed to harbor negative feelings towards him, but he remained silent, his expression tense.
Utilizing his Divine Soul communication, Yang Chen relayed King Shen He’s plan to Ling Hua Heavenly Venerable and the other two.
The three Ling Hua Heavenly Venerables, their expressions initially solemn, were now delighted and excited upon hearing this information.
"This is great! With this plan, our two sides can work together and hit the Netherworld hard. When the time comes to reclaim the Extreme Yin Land, the Netherworld beings will have no choice but to retreat to their own interface," Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable laughed.
"We must report this to the True King," another Heavenly Venerable rubbed his beard, clearly very satisfied.
Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable waved his hand, "The True King is currently in seclusion and would have attended today otherwise. There’s no rush now. We can mention it tomorrow. By the way, Yang Chen, you have really gone to a lot of trouble to bring us such valuable information. Since you have traveled such a dangerous path to get here, why not rest on our mountain for a while?"
"Don’t be so hasty, Brother Yun Qi. I am still suspicious of this boy," Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable spoke sharply.
Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable frowned, "Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable, what do you mean? Yang Chen has already shared the exact plan from the south, so how could there be any falsehood? Do you realize just how much we owe him for this plan alone? How can you still doubt him?"
"Hmph, who knows if this plan is meant to push us to the edge of death? I must scrutinize it thoroughly!" Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable stated, "Yang Chen, if you are truly innocent, you shouldn’t be afraid of my scrutiny."
The other Heavenly Venerables’ expressions turned awkward, as Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable was being a bit excessive.
Yang Chen didn’t know why Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable was singling him out, but the other party was indeed harboring malicious intent. This made him ask solemnly, "How does senior plan to scrutinize me?"
He was also very frustrated.
Indeed, he had experienced a dangerous journey filled with near-death experiences to get here, but that didn’t mean he deserved such scrutiny.
Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable sneered, "I have a heavenly separation mirror here. This mirror can expose any forgeries, but Dao Intent Inscriptions are unaffected. The fusion of Qi is different between inscriptions for humans and ghostly beings. Boy, as long as you reveal all of your Dao Intent Inscriptions, this Mirror can prove your innocence."
Hearing this, Yang Chen’s expression became serious.
Reveal his Dao Intent Inscriptions?
How could he possibly agree to that?
Especially the Life and Death Dao Intent and the Spacetime Dao Intent — these two Dao Intents were something he deliberately concealed. He couldn’t possibly reveal them to the public, as that would attract unwanted attention.
Even though the majority of people might still have good intentions towards him, he couldn’t guarantee that a few people would harbor malicious thoughts against him.
It was this hesitation that made Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable laugh and say, "Why, are you scared?"
"Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable, what do you mean? Are you questioning the decisions of the True King?" Yun Qi Heavenly Venerable rebuked him.
"Of course not. I just mean that the True King has many responsibilities, and he may not have given this matter much thought. I am being thorough now so that we don’t let anyone slip through the cracks," Dao Ming Heavenly Venerable sneered.
The expressions of the others also shifted to a surprised look at Yang Chen.
Indeed, certain aspects of Yang Chen’s situation were suspicious. The odds were low, but what if Yang Chen was truly hiding something?
The hesitation that Yang Chen showed initially had been noticed by these wily seniors. Were they trying to make Yang Chen reveal his insecurities?
