Chapter 3700: Chapter 3690: Insolence! (Eight Updates)
At this moment, Shi Baomiao looked at the scene on the hall with a strange expression. Ye Chen going to Zhenyuan Palace was naturally good, as they could once again humiliate the Six Paths Sect.
However, seeing the Six Paths Temple in such an uproar over this matter brought immense pleasure to Shi Baomiao. The internal troubles of the Six Paths Sect were a joke to him, something he would share back at Zhenyuan Palace to amuse everyone.
Meanwhile, the hall was in chaos, and Wu Duan Cang’s face changed slightly when he heard Ye Chen agree to go to Zhenyuan Palace, a hint of hidden concern flashing in his eyes.
"Enough! Everyone, shut up!"
Wu Duan Cang suddenly shouted, his powerful aura erupting and sweeping through the entire hall, even causing Shi Baomiao to stiffen in shock at Wu Duan Cang’s overwhelming pressure.
"Arguing in the temple like this, what kind of discipline is this?"
Wu Duan Cang said coldly, then looked at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, the matter between Zhenyuan Palace and the Six Paths Sect is none of your concern; leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Sect Master, Zhenyuan Palace and our Six Paths Sect have been old friends for years, with no contact for a long time. Let me visit at least once."
"Insolence, how dare you question my words!"
Wu Duan Cang’s expression darkened suddenly, raising his hand as a violent force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth surged forth, intending to forcefully remove Ye Chen from the hall.
However, just then, a majestic aura erupted, and a figure suddenly appeared in the hall, causing Wu Duan Cang to lower his hand.
"Grand Elder."
Wu Duan Cang looked at the elder who had arrived, showing surprise.
"Greetings, Grand Elder."
All the elders of the Six Paths Sect respectfully bowed, even the proud Shi Baomiao stood respectfully before Zhou Jiu Tong, one of the true pillars of strength in the Six Paths Sect, someone even he dared not disrespect.
At this moment, Zhou Jiu Tong stood in the hall, casting a cold glance at Shi Baomiao, making him freeze as if he had been plunged into an icy abyss.
Then, Zhou Jiu Tong looked at Wu Duan Cang and said, "Since Ye Chen wishes to go, let him go."
"Grand Elder, this..."
Wu Duan Cang’s eyes flickered at these words, not understanding Zhou Jiu Tong’s intention.
Wu Duan Cang did not want Ye Chen to go, not out of fear of losing face for the Six Paths Sect, but out of concern for Ye Chen’s safety.
Ye Chen had extraordinary talent; if exposed during his journey, it might invite countless dangers.
Wu Duan Cang saw Ye Chen as the hope for the Six Paths Sect’s rise and naturally did not want him exposed to such perils, thus his hesitance.
Moreover, Wu Duan Cang knew Zhou Jiu Tong should also be aware of Ye Chen’s talent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have revived because of Ye Chen; why let him go to Zhenyuan Palace now?
Eye to eye, Zhou Jiu Tong perceived Wu Duan Cang’s worries but gave him a reassuring nod, "If he wishes to go, let him go."
Zhou Jiu Tong spoke once more.
"Alright, since you insist, we will do as you say."
Wu Duan Cang nodded, then turned to Ye Chen, "In that case, prepare yourself to visit Zhenyuan Palace with Elder Shi."
After speaking, Wu Duan Cang’s eyes glimmered, involuntarily calling out, "Ye Chen."
"Disciple is here." Ye Chen looked into Wu Duan Cang’s eyes, feeling a stirring in his heart.
"Remember, our sects are old friends. Behave prudently at Zhenyuan Palace and do not damage the bond between the Six Paths Sect and Zhenyuan Palace."
Hearing this, Ye Chen discerned the deeper message in Wu Duan Cang’s words and nodded solemnly, "Disciple understands."
At this moment, the elders watched in bewilderment at the sudden appearance of Zhou Jiu Tong, not understanding why the grand elder would send Ye Chen to Zhenyuan Palace, wouldn’t that humiliate the Six Paths Sect?
And the people of Zhenyuan Palace, having seen even the grand elder permit Ye Chen’s journey, regarded it as a certainty, and Shi Baomiao smiled.
"In that case, we will take our leave first, returning to the sect to prepare for a ceremony to welcome Ye Chen in advance."
Shi Baomiao flashed an insidious smile, looking at Ye Chen with a meaningful gaze.
"That’s great, thank you, Elder Shi."
Ye Chen seemed oblivious, courteously bowing.
"Haha, not at all!"
Shi Baomiao laughed outwardly, though inwardly sneering, thinking Ye Chen a fool for believing he would receive a welcome. Once at Zhenyuan Palace, Ye Chen would learn what cruelty meant!
The Zhenyuan Palace group, harboring hidden intentions, left with Shi Baomiao, while Wu Duan Cang directed Ye Chen to return to Netherworld Peak to prepare, departing for Zhenyuan Palace in three days.
Returning to Netherworld Peak, news of Ye Chen’s imminent visit to Zhenyuan Palace spread throughout the sect. At this moment, Liu Yunmiao stood with a solemn expression at the great hall entrance, with Yang Qianyu beside him.
"Senior Brother, how could you agree to go to Zhenyuan Palace? They will humiliate you and might even cause your demise there."
Seeing Ye Chen, Liu Yunmiao spoke anxiously, full of worry.
"Indeed, Senior Brother, your action was reckless. I understand your dissatisfaction with Zhenyuan Palace over the years, but as the Six Paths Sect has declined, we are no match for Zhenyuan Palace. We must endure."
Yang Qianyu also shook his head, helplessly commenting, finding Ye Chen’s decision too impulsive.
"Endure?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen’s lips curled in a grin, "To be humiliated by a mere Zhenyuan Palace, is that the style of our Six Paths Sect? Perhaps it was, but with my presence, I will not allow their arrogance!"
Ye Chen’s words startled Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu, sparking hope in their eyes, which quickly dimmed as they shook their heads.
Despite Ye Chen’s impassioned speech, stirring their spirits, the current Six Paths Sect was no match for Zhenyuan Palace, now home to the genius holy maiden Feng Yusi, renowned across the entire Moon Soul Domain.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen at Zhenyuan Palace, let alone my demise."
Ye Chen patted both on the shoulder, then the grand hall doors opened, "With three days left, I must also prepare."
As Ye Chen led Liu Yunmiao and Yang Qianyu into Netherworld Hall, only two remained in the Six Paths Temple.
Facing each other, Wu Duan Cang and Zhou Jiu Tong sat with heavy expressions, brows furrowed tightly.
"Grand Elder, you should understand Ye Chen’s importance. His exceptional talent means any mishap at Zhenyuan Palace is a loss to our Six Paths Sect."
Wu Duan Cang, somewhat helpless, looked at Zhou Jiu Tong, unable to comprehend why the latter allowed Ye Chen to go to Zhenyuan Palace.
Yet, hearing Wu Duan Cang’s words, Zhou Jiu Tong’s lips curled, his gaze profound, fixed on the direction of Netherworld Peak.
Zhou Jiu Tong was well aware of Ye Chen’s importance, as Ye Chen held the Six Paths Order, making him the most critical person in the Six Paths Sect.
Thus, Zhou Jiu Tong respected Ye Chen’s decisions; if Ye Chen wanted to go to Zhenyuan Palace, it was agreed.
"Don’t worry."
Zhou Jiu Tong calmly smiled at Wu Duan Cang, his two long eyebrows fluttering in the air, "Ye Chen is a Great Destiny Seeker; nothing will happen to him, and Zhenyuan Palace cannot see through his supreme talent."
