669: Chapter 669 Are you crazy? Trying to poach someone's partner?

After Daoist Priest Qingfeng finished listening, his expression did not change at all.

"So? What do you want to do?"

Daoist Priest Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I want to ask Sect Leader Senior Brother to step forward and unite with Wudang, Emei Sect, and the Buddhist Sect to jointly pressure the Wang Family and cancel the Ancient Tomb Sect's eligibility to participate!"

"And then?" Daoist Priest Qingfeng asked.

"And then..."

Daoist Priest Qingxuan opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

What would happen after the cancellation of eligibility?

Would Ye Chen just let it go?

Would Wang Tianlong swallow his pride?

Daoist Priest Qingfeng looked at him and shook his head: "Qingxuan, how many years have you been with me?"

Daoist Priest Qingxuan was taken aback.

"Over thirty years."

"Over thirty years," Daoist Priest Qingfeng sighed, "You've been with me for over thirty years, so why are you still so impatient?"

Daoist Priest Qingxuan's expression changed slightly: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, you mean..."

"I mean, we should stay put for now."

Daoist Priest Qingfeng put down his teacup, stood up, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkening twilight sky outside.

"Let them participate."

Daoist Priest Qingxuan grew anxious: "Sect Leader Senior Brother! That Ye Chen humiliated our Huashan Sect in front of so many people, and you're just going to let it go?"

"Let it go?"

Daoist Priest Qingfeng turned his head, glanced at him, and a meaningful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Who said anything about letting it go?"

Daoist Priest Qingxuan was stunned: "Then you..."

"Someone will deal with them."

Daoist Priest Qingfeng interrupted him, his voice so calm that no emotion could be heard.

Daoist Priest Qingxuan was completely dumbfounded.

Someone would deal with them?

Who?

He wanted to press for more details, but seeing Daoist Priest Qingfeng's enigmatic expression, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He had followed his Sect Leader Senior Brother for over thirty years and knew him all too well.

If the Sect Leader Senior Brother didn't want to say something, it was useless to ask.

Moreover...

He had a slight suspicion that the people his Sect Leader Senior Brother mentioned were from the Tianyi Sect.

And now...

The Tianyi Sect and the Bai family's group were joining forces; there would likely be a major plan in motion.

Daoist Priest Qingxuan took a deep breath and cupped his hands: "Yes, Sect Leader Senior Brother."

He turned to leave, but after two steps, he couldn't help but stop and look back.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, about that Ye Chen..."

"Is he really as mysterious as the rumors say?"

Daoist Priest Qingfeng didn't turn around, still gazing at the horizon outside the window.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.

"Whether he is or not, he is not someone you can afford to provoke."

Daoist Priest Qingxuan's body trembled slightly, his face shifting through various expressions.

In the end, he said nothing, turned around, and walked out of the main hall.

Daoist Priest Qingfeng stood by the window with his hands behind his back, watching the sky gradually darken, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Ye Chen.

This name had been appearing in his ears with increasing frequency lately.

Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

Destroyed the Sima Family.

Turned the Wa Country upside down.

Even when the Nine Great Forces of Kunlun Ruins joined hands, they couldn't do anything to him.

Is such a person someone the Huashan Sect can afford to provoke?

But Huashan...

What choice do they have?

Daoist Priest Qingfeng shook his head, walked back to the grandmaster's chair, sat down again, picked up the cold tea, and took a small sip.

Bitter.

Astringent.

But afterward, there was a faint, lingering sweetness.

He put down the teacup and was about to close his eyes to rest...

Suddenly!

"Sect Leader! This is bad!"

A Huashan Sect disciple rushed into the main hall and hurriedly bowed.

Daoist Priest Qingfeng's brow furrowed sharply, a flash of displeasure in his eyes: "Flustered and panicked, where is your decorum? Speak, what is it?"

The disciple spoke stutteringly.

"Outside, there is a man named Ye Chen, leading a group of Dragon Group members, as well as members of the Ancient Tomb Sect..."

"They've arrived!"

The teacup in Daoist Priest Qingfeng's hand almost slipped; he suddenly stood up from the grandmaster's chair.

"What? He actually came?"

No...

He originally thought this matter was over, but that monster had actually come over without a sound.

What did he want to do?

Did he want to demand accountability, or did he have another purpose???

Daoist Priest Qingfeng didn't dare think further. His face darkened, and he said sharply, "Go! Call Qingxuan here for me!"

"Yes... Yes!"

The disciple turned and ran, running so fast he almost tripped over the threshold. He stumbled a few steps before steadying himself, then scrambled out of the main hall.

In less than two minutes, Daoist Priest Qingxuan hurried over.

As soon as he entered, he saw Daoist Priest Qingfeng's face, which was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Daoist Priest Qingfeng looked at him and asked word by word: "That Ye Chen, didn't he leave?"

Daoist Priest Qingxuan was stunned, completely bewildered.

"That's right, he left!"

"I saw his car leave the parking lot with my own eyes."

"And before leaving, Wang Tianlong told him to go to the hotel first!"

"Then why is he here?" Daoist Priest Qingfeng's voice was as cold as a winter wind.

"Huh?" Daoist Priest Qingxuan didn't react. "Where is he?"

"At our Huashan Sect's station!"

Daoist Priest Qingxuan's face changed instantly.

"No... that's impossible!"

His eyes widened, and his mind was a mess.

"I saw him leave with my own eyes! How could..."

"How could he come here?"

Daoist Priest Qingfeng took over his words with a cold snort, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? That guy clearly didn't come here with good intentions!"

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Daoist Priest Qingxuan's back.

He remembered the words Ye Chen had said in the parking lot and that calm, composed attitude of not caring about anyone.

That man never played by the rules.

When he said he was leaving, he might not have really left.

Daoist Priest Qingxuan swallowed: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, then... what do we do?"

Daoist Priest Qingfeng took a deep breath and straightened his collar.

"What to do?"

"They're already at the door, what else can we do?"

He paused, then strode toward the door.

"Let's go out and see."

Seeing this, Qingxuan hurried to follow.

The two quickly arrived at the reception hall.

Only to see.

Ye Chen sitting boldly in the main seat, with Jiang Daoxuan, Shu Yuan, Shen Qingyi, and Yan Qingwu standing behind him.

The atmosphere in the hall was as heavy as lead.

The Huashan Sect disciples stood on both sides, none of them daring to even breathe loudly.

Just moments ago...

This young man had led his people to barge directly into the Huashan Sect's station.

The guards at the door didn't even have time to react before being tossed aside one by one by that burly man.

Stop them?

With what?

That was a powerhouse of the Celestial Master Realm!

Daoist Priest Qingfeng's footsteps paused slightly, and his pupils contracted.

The main seat.

That was the position of the Huashan Sect Leader.

This Ye Chen had actually sat in it without any hesitation.

This was a blatant provocation! A slap in the face! It was trampling the Huashan Sect's dignity into the ground!

But Daoist Priest Qingfeng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was about to burst out.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Instructor Ye's grand arrival, I apologize for not being there to welcome you earlier."

Ye Chen leaned back in the chair, crossed his legs, rested his hands on the armrests, and looked at him indifferently.

"Sect Leader Qingfeng is too polite."

"I don't like to beat around the bush. I came today..."

"Not to demand accountability, but because there's something I want to ask you."

Daoist Priest Qingfeng's brow furrowed slightly: "Please speak, Instructor Ye."

Ye Chen looked at him, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a very easy person to talk to."

"I just want to ask you all, how much benefit did the people behind you give you for you to act as their dogs?"

As those words fell.

The air in the reception hall seemed to freeze.

The faces of the Huashan Sect disciples instantly flushed red; some gripped their sword hilts, others gritted their teeth.

These words were too damn unpleasant.

In front of a hall full of Huashan Sect disciples, he asked how much benefit their Sect Leader got for being a dog?

This wasn't just a slap in the face anymore; this was taking a dump on their heads!

Daoist Priest Qingxuan was the first to snap. His face turned the color of pig liver as he stepped forward and shouted angrily.

"Ye Chen! You're insolent!"

"This is the Huashan Sect's station, not your Dragon Group!"

"You dare to humiliate my Huashan Sect???"

If looks could kill.

Ye Chen would probably have been cut into a thousand pieces by him by now!

This was simply too much!

He completely didn't treat them as human beings...

"Qingxuan."

However, Daoist Priest Qingfeng raised his hand and interrupted him.

Hearing this, Daoist Priest Qingxuan's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were full of fury, but he still forced himself to hold back.

Daoist Priest Qingfeng withdrew his hand and looked at Ye Chen, his face still calm, but a hint of coldness flashed deep in his eyes: "Instructor Ye, I don't understand what you mean."

"Sect Leader Qingfeng, whether you understand or not, you know it in your heart."

Ye Chen uncrossed his legs, leaned forward slightly, rested his hands on his knees, and looked directly into Daoist Priest Qingfeng's eyes.

"I'll only give you one chance."

"Whatever they gave you, I'll give double."

"Defect to my side."

The entire place fell into a dead silence.

So quiet that even a needle drop could be heard.

Everyone's brain short-circuited at this moment.

No...

What did they just hear?

Ye Chen ran to the Huashan Sect's station, sat in their Sect Leader's seat, and in front of a hall full of Huashan Sect disciples, told the Sect Leader to defect?

And it was an open poaching attempt?

What kind of joke was this?

The Huashan Sect was one of the five founding forces of the Martial Arts Alliance!

With a heritage of hundreds of years and disciples all over the world, it was famous in the martial arts world!

Ye Chen actually wanted to poach them?

Was he crazy?
