Chapter 2842: Chapter 2837: Sun Zu Captured?_1
A hundred spots were already considered quite good.
It was well known that all the sects had to share the allocation. Aside from the Taiyi Sect, which would definitely receive the lion’s share, the other major sects, as well as some minor ones, were also given some spots.
For Xuandao Sect to receive a hundred spots, it was indeed a significant number.
"One hundred; we must choose carefully." Chen Yangqi knew that this matter couldn’t be taken lightly and said solemnly.
Yang Chen looked at Chen Yangqi and asked, "Sect Master, how are you going to select them? You can also go to the Southern Realm, after all, with your talent it’s among the best choices, you just lack a suitable environment."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yangqi’s heart wavered, and from his expression, one could see that he was torn with infinite struggle.
After a long while, Chen Yangqi revealed a bitter smile: "Yang Chen, I appreciate your kindness, but as you know, you and I are ultimately different. I am the Sect Master of Xuandao Sect. From the moment I was chosen to be the Sect Master, I cannot leave until the next one is chosen. I must be responsible for the entire Xuandao Sect. As for going to the Southern Realm, I can’t afford to think that way. If I were to go, what would become of Xuandao Sect?"
Upon hearing Chen Yangqi say this, Yang Chen’s respect for him rose a few notches.
Any other person, given such an opportunity, would not let it pass. But Chen Yangqi chose to prioritize Xuandao Sect and give up on this precious opportunity.
Indeed, if Chen Yangqi left, who would be in charge of Xuandao Sect?
Yang Chen could see the loss in Chen Yangqi’s heart. He had truly given up on the boundless longing in his heart, making a tremendous sacrifice.
"Sect Master, even if you can’t go to the Southern Realm, it’s alright. Here are some pills that I obtained from the Southern Realm, enough for you to refine them for the next hundred years. If used properly, there is a high chance of reaching the Great Path Stage."
With that said, Yang Chen took out the pills he had refined during his spare time.
Among these pills, there were no lack of immortal grade ones.
As for divine grade, they were as numerous as sugar beans.
He had thought from the beginning, if Chen Yangqi went to the Southern Realm, these pills would not be given to Chen Yangqi. If Chen Yangqi didn’t go, these pills would be given to him.
In general, these pills were still his more precious items. After all, going to the Southern Realm would just get him more of these resources.
Chen Yangqi gasped when he saw these pills laid out in front of him. Looking at the pills he had never seen before, Chen Yangqi was completely dumbfounded.
"These pills are all for me?" Chen Yangqi swallowed his saliva.
"That’s right, Sect Master. With your dedication to Xuandao Sect, you deserve these." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Chen Yangqi was full of emotion and deeply looked at Yang Chen. With his intelligence, he understood quite clearly.
If he went to the Southern Realm, he wouldn’t be able to get these pills, which were a chance to enter the Great Path Stage.
Could he go to the Southern Realm and say for sure that he could enter the Great Path Stage within a hundred years?
"Yang Chen, I really can’t thank you enough." Chen Yangqi couldn’t resist the tempting conditions and accepted the pills.
Yang Chen smiled amicably, "By the way, Sect Master, have you any idea where Ancestor Su has gone? Why did he leave only an avatar at his home?"
"Ancestor Su? He was summoned by the Taiyi Sect not long ago." Chen Yangqi told the truth.
Yang Chen was initially tasting the tea in his cup leisurely, but when he heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
"What!" Yang Chen’s expression changed drastically.
"What’s wrong?" Chen Yangqi didn’t know why Yang Chen had such a strong reaction.
Yang Chen was in great turmoil and slapped his thigh: "This is bad, this is really bad!"
He immediately stood up. Ancestor Su had been summoned to the Taiyi Sect? How did he forget about that? He should’ve thought of it earlier.
Li Chongxiao returned earlier than him. Upon returning to the Spirit Realm, with the restrictions of the Southern Realm gone, he wouldn’t hesitate to make a move against him.
Since he didn’t immediately return to the Xuandao Sect and Li Chongxiao didn’t target him, he must have targeted his Xuandao Sect instead.
At any rate, the relationship between the two had already become confrontation. Given a chance to take each other’s lives, neither party would show any courtesies.
Li Chongxiao obviously made the first move by inviting Ancestor Su over.
Although the invitation was on the surface, Ancestor Su didn’t know about the conflict between him and Li Chongxiao, so naturally, he wouldn’t be suspicious and headed straight there.
With Ancestor Su now going to the Taiyi Sect, being targeted by Li Chongxiao, wasn’t he in a perilous situation...?
Yang Chen was anxious as if on fire, which confused Chen Yangqi: "Yang Chen, what’s going on?"
Yang Chen had no choice but to recount the details of the situation to Chen Yangqi.
Chen Yangqi suddenly gasped, "What? Ancestor Su is in danger? But he’s a Boundless Stage powerhouse."
"But this time, I’m afraid there will be three Boundless Stage powerhouses in the Taiyi Sect, including Li Chongxiao." Yang Chen sighed.
Though the other two Boundless Stage powerhouses in the Taiyi Sect had no conflict with Ancestor Su.
However, when it came to matters of interest, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t make a move against Ancestor Su.
Three Boundless Stage powerhouses against one, and it was an invitation to his doorstep, if they really wanted to make a move, Ancestor Su had virtually no chance of escape.
Chen Yangqi was greatly alarmed, "What should we do then?"
Yang Chen paced back and forth, his heart filled with helplessness.
If it was just one Boundless Stage powerhouse, Li Chongxiao, Yang Chen might still handle it. With his current strength, he had the confidence to take on a Boundless Stage in one breath.
However, three Boundless Stage powerhouses were a bit of a stretch for him. Moreover, he didn’t know what kind of trap the Taiyi Sect had prepared for him right now. If he went, he would be courting death.
Yang Chen’s heart was filled with urgency yet calm. After a long while, he finally said, "Sect Master, you wait here for now, leave this matter to me."
Chen Yangqi sensed the urgency of the situation as the confrontation between Great Path Stage powerhouses was beyond his abilities.
Fortunately, Yang Chen had also reached the Great Path Stage and had some ability to handle things at this level.
Yang Chen hurried to Ancestor Su’s residence.
Upon arrival, he only saw an avatar, meditating in mid-air.
At this moment, Ancestor Su had his eyes tightly closed, his expression wooden and without a ripple of emotion.
As soon as Yang Chen saw this, he knew it was over!
Just as he had guessed, there was no problem with Ancestor Su currently; otherwise, his avatar wouldn’t be in this state. At the moment, Ancestor Su’s main body must have been imprisoned, and his avatar had no fluctuations in its aura at all.
Just as Yang Chen was pondering, Ancestor Su suddenly opened his eyes.
As his eyes opened, Ancestor Su revealed a sinister smile, "Yang Chen, we meet again."
Hearing this uncanny tone, Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back and coldly said, "You’re Li Chongxiao?"
"Hehehe, Yang Chen, I originally planned to go straight to Xuandao Sect and butcher you all at once, but I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t be in Xuandao Sect. It’s a pity, though, that Ancestor Su is now in my hands..." Li Chongxiao laughed strangely.
