Chapter 846: Suspicion
Ten sect master-level dignitaries gave Yang Chen enough face this time. Not only did they come in person, but they also came in private and secretly according to Yang Chen’s request. Not even some elders of their sects knew about it.
The Pure Yang Palace also put on a grand enough scene. Of course, the grandness was only for those who were familiar with it, they were only greeted attentively after arriving at the mountain gate. Outsiders had no idea that the Pure Yang Palace had received such ten important figures.
Even inside the Pure Yang Palace, except for the Yang Chen family and a few core elders, no one knew that the ten sect masters had arrived at the Pure Yang Palace. The disciples in charge of the reception only knew that the palace master asked them to receive them carefully, but did not let them know about the visitors’ identities.
The sect masters of the dao sects, demon sects and monster race stood face to face. This was a great feat that they had not accomplished even when they wiped out the Greatest Heaven Sect. At that time, the sect leaders of each sect were all in charge of their sects, but now because of Yang Chen, everyone gathered in the small Pure Yang Palace. If people knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.
Without the Greatest Heaven Sect, and with the tacit understanding of the various sects during the annihilation of the Greatest Heaven Sect, these sect leaders did not even fight together. In the past, that was something that was unthinkable, dao and demon sects are not at odds with each other. When would the meeting between the master of the Yin Yang Demon Sect and the master of the Blue Cloud Sect be so peaceful?
But in the Pure Yang Palace, it just happened. Not only that, when they met each other, everyone had a warm smile on their face, and they bow when they should, creating a harmonious scene.
“Thanks to Grandmaster Yang, this is my first time meeting Sect Master Ye. I have admired you for a long time!”
“I didn’t expect that we would have another day to meet. I’m so respectful!”
…If others didn’t know the identities of these sect leaders, others would definitely think it was a meeting of old friends when they saw such a scene. Who would have known that this was the brains of several irreconcilable powerful forces?
In front of so many big sect leaders, it was naturally impossible for Yang Chen to not tell any inside information. These sect leaders are not like the top brass of the Pure Yang Palace, who trust Yang Chen in every possible way. If you want to convince them, you have to come up with practical information.
However, Yang Chen’s performance made the palace master feel strange. Even in front of so many sect leaders, Yang Chen’s statement was still the same as when he was in front of them, he couldn’t say it.
“It is true to expand the territory, but I can’t say where exactly it will be.” Yang Chen didn’t seem to feel any pressure when facing the ten major sect masters. Just as usual, he put on the posture of a junior and spoke calmly to the sect leaders.
The master of the palace was puzzled by this, did Yang Chen not want to do this? Why do you still have such an attitude and statement in front of these great sect masters?
The head of the palace didn’t understand, but the ten sect leaders had no intention of blaming Yang Chen, they just frowned one by one.
They have to say that this is the difference between big sects and small sects. It is good to have a few people from the small sect who have gone to the Demon Continent to gain experience. Naturally, when they come back, they will abide by the inner demon’s oath and never reveal anything about the situation in the Demon Continent. The big sects always have a way to sacrifice a few pawns. You can get most of the information that is not detailed but has a general idea.
When Yang Chen said that he couldn’t say, the sect leaders of these major sects who came actually already knew where Yang Chen was referring to. Which sect leader is not a great expert? With a few hints, he will understand the target.
However, is an environment like the Demon Continent really suitable for sending people there to take risks? At this point, everyone expressed doubts. They were not the head of the palace or the core leaders. They had more respect and wooing for Yang Chen, but they didn’t have much trust.
If it weren’t for Yang Chen’s reputation as a fifth-grade alchemist, these sect leaders wouldn’t have come at all. Of course, it is also related to Yang Chen’s wives and concubines. They are all important figures in the sect, and their thoughts must be considered no matter what. Even if Yang Chen invited them over and it was just nonsense, at most, it is just a trip in vain, but it can gain the hearts of their disciples, which is not a loss at all.
Yang Chen just said one word, and all the sect leaders fell into silence. No one spoke for a long time, everyone was speculating on Yang Chen’s intention in saying this and the possibility of doing this.
None of the sect leaders present were unwilling to expand their sect’s territory. If it is done, this will not only be a matter of profit, but also a huge gain in reputation and prestige. But if you have to pay a huge price for this, that’s another matter.
There will definitely be sacrifices when opening up new territories. There is no doubt about this. No one is that kind of idealist who thinks that a person can gain a large territory without dying, nor does he think that he can take advantage of this without paying a price. What everyone is worried about is nothing more than the comparison of costs and benefits.
The Demon Continent is not an ordinary place. Not only are there demonized monsters, but there are also raging demonic qi. This makes other cultivators unwilling to cultivate there except for masters who need life-and-death experience to increase their cultivation. It is too cruel and inconsistent with the purpose of cultivation.
However, if the Demon Continent can really be captured, it will definitely be a huge breakthrough for the respective sects. Even these people, even if they meet the sect leaders after ascending, they can straighten their backs and proudly tell them that they have promoted the sect.
Everything depends on whether Yang Chen’s words are credible. However, everyone knows that Yang Chen will definitely not say a word about the situation inside the Demon Continent in compliance with the inner demon’s oath. Being able to notify them now has already shown their attitude. What is needed now is their decision as the sect masters. Whether they want to be a pioneer and be famous forever or be a conservative and mediocre person depends on how much they trust Yang Chen.
At this point, the sect leaders of the four major dao sects have a slight advantage. Their disciples are close to Yang Chen, and Yang Chen will never harm them. Although the Yin Yang Demon Sect and Peerless Demon Sect are both related to Yang Chen, it is impossible for Mrs. Fanghua to let the sect leader know about her close relationship with Yang Chen, and it is impossible for Ye Zhenxiong to confide in Yang Chen because of Ye Yu, the Demon Sect is suspicious, and this is not just talk.
As for the people from the Monster race and the rogue cultivator alliance, the most they had with Yang Chen was that they had purchased Yang Chen’s elixirs and had contact with them in dealing with the classics in the Zhao Family Manor, but they had no other in-depth relationships at all. A stranger gives you a big gift for no reason, who dares to risk the future of the sect?
The four major dao sects are here, how can you know that this is not a way for one dao sect to attack the others? If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!
