161: Please let the master decide

“This old man also came to slay demons for Lu Chen,” Protectorate Fan said concisely.

‘As expected, this kid Lu Chen is popular. Even a Protector is willing to help him cultivate.’ The Sect Leader's eyes lit up. Good. As long as Lu Chen grows up, the position of Sect Leader will be his. He didn't misjudge the person.

“Let's put this matter aside for now.” Protectorate Fan's expression was stern, mixed with resentment. “Sect Leader, do you know how desolate and miserable the Dongming Sect was during the time you were away?”

This Sect Leader in the Sect likes to shirk responsibility and run away. First, he will describe the Sect's situation as miserable, make him feel guilty, make him angry, and finally make him never dare to shirk responsibility and run away casually again.

The Young Sect Leader looked at Protectorate Fan's clenched fists and trembling body, and his heart tightened. “Could it be that during the time I was away, the Dongming Sect was bullied? And it was very miserable?”

He was a little uneasy, a little guilty, and also had the idea of running away.

Trouble, more trouble, he hated trouble the most!

Why did he come out at this time? It would be much quieter to hide and cultivate in seclusion!

If the Dongming Sect is in trouble, aren't there still those Supreme Elders? They cultivate peacefully all day long, living a life that is leisurely beyond imagination. The Sect Leader felt uncomfortable seeing this.

However, he was the master of the Dongming Sect after all. If the Dongming Sect was bullied, he could not shirk his responsibility.

Even a clay figure has three parts of anger, let alone him, the Young Sect Leader.

He disliked trouble, but that didn't mean he was afraid of trouble!

These were two different things.

“Protectorate Fan, please explain in detail.” The Sect Leader forcefully suppressed the thought of shirking responsibility and running away, but the more he suppressed it, the angrier he became.

This Qing Ming Cultivation World has truly turned upside down, daring to bully the Dongming Sect and prevent him from having peace, making him feel guilty in front of the Sect. A scholar can tolerate what others cannot.

Protectorate Fan spoke with tears streaming down his face, recounting everything one by one, starting from the Ancient Demon Clan in the Ancient Demon Realm declaring that they would bloodbath the Dongming Sect and make it completely disappear from the Azure Underworld, and starting to impact the Seal.

Then he talked about the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace in Northern Qi acting against the Heavenly Cycle. The Dongming Sect did not provoke them, but they still attacked the Dongming Sect's Yuanzhou Mountain Gate. Even the three True Disciples of the Dongming Sect were heavily injured and killed, and even the mountain gate collapsed. This was an insult that the Dongming Sect had never suffered since its establishment.

Of course, Protectorate Fan had no way of knowing if the Ancient Demon Clan in the Ancient Demon Realm had actually said they would bloodbath the Dongming Sect and make it disappear from the Azure Underworld.

Anyway, since you are impacting the Seal, isn't that the meaning?

What's wrong with this old man helping the Ancient Demon Realm translate and pass on the message to the Sect Leader?

Also, Protectorate Fan didn't know about the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace injuring the three True Disciples of the Dongming Sect, but Lu Chen, the current Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, had instead killed four Yin God True Disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace. Anyway, he would just say it like that first.

As long as the Sect Leader gets angry, everything will be easy to handle.

“Did the people of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace really attack the Dongming Sect's mountain gate, injure this Sect's True Disciples, and collapse half of this Sect's mountain gate?” No matter how good-tempered the Young Sect Leader was, at this moment, he was also filled with righteous indignation.

Good for you, Spring and Autumn Sword Palace. This Sect Leader is about to abdicate, why didn't you come earlier or later, but chose to come at this time?

This Sect finally had some free time, calculated the time, had no more trouble, and was preparing to return to the Sect, and then you came to stir up trouble?

If someone from the Ancestral Land came and knew that this Sect was attacked at the mountain gate while he was in power, and the mountain gate was also destroyed...

The Young Sect Leader's heart suddenly trembled, thinking of some unpleasant scenes from when he was in the Ancestral Land.

And the Ancient Demon Realm actually wants to exterminate the Dongming Sect, this is outrageous, simply outrageous!

“What is Lu Chen's current strength?” The Young Sect Leader's tone suddenly shifted, and he abruptly brought up Lu Chen.

Protectorate Fan was in the midst of brewing his emotions, and was caught off guard by these words, and was stunned. “Dao Embryo Realm.”

“How is his Body Refinement cultivation? How is his overall strength?” The Sect Leader asked repeatedly. With his eyesight, how could he be easily deceived by Lu Chen's superficial strength?

“His Body Refinement has already achieved the Qi and Blood Divine Spirit, and in the Yin God Realm, his overall strength should be able to contend with an ordinary Yang God.” Protectorate Fan pondered for a long time before finally giving what he considered to be accurate information.

‘Can he contend with a Yang God?’ As expected, he's fast enough. The Young Sect Leader's eyes lit up. Very good. After helping Lu Chen resolve the issues with the Ancient Demon Realm and the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace, he will immediately pass on the position to Lu Chen.

He hasn't wanted to be this Sect Leader for a long time.

The life of the Supreme Elders is what he yearns for.

“By the way, the Dao Embryo that Lu Chen formed is an Immortal Embryo that surpasses the limit of nine inches and nine fen.” Protectorate Fan added.

‘Immortal Embryo? In a desolate place like Azure Underworld, an Immortal Embryo Heavenly Pride can actually emerge. As expected of someone this Sect values.’ The Young Sect Leader's emotions didn't fluctuate much. Immortal Embryo? Who doesn't have one? Acceptable!

“Wait!” At a certain moment, the Young Sect Leader suddenly started and looked sharply at Protectorate Fan. “Protectorate Fan, could it be?” He pointed to the Starry Sky outside the heavens.

Protectorate Fan understood. “That's right. Old Gu and I have already sent a message to the Ancestral Land. It shouldn't be long before Great Powers from the Ancestral Land personally arrive to take him as a Disciple.”

The Young Sect Leader staggered, and a curse word almost instantly escaped his lips. ‘Who the hell told you to do that?’

That is the new Sect Leader of my Dongming Sect who is about to take office, the savior of this Sect, the smooth path for this Sect to escape from suffering and move towards a bright future. You actually sent him away without a word?!

“Sect Leader, there's no time to lose, quickly return to the Sect with this old man!” Protectorate Fan grabbed the Young Sect Leader's sleeve and headed straight for the Dongming Sect, as if afraid the Sect Leader would run away.

In contrast, the Young Sect Leader's eyes were vacant, and his expression was numb, as if he had lost his light.

…………

Dongming Sect, Gu Wenzhao, the Grand Elder, the Third Elder, and others suddenly rejoiced. “The Sect Leader's communication jade token is working!”

Previously, it had been sealed, and they couldn't contact him no matter what.

“Good, it's also time for that Spring and Autumn Sword Palace to face this tribulation.” The Third Elder was full of momentum.

Lu Chen kept his eyes down and his mouth shut, not interrupting, as if his mind had wandered off. But in his heart, he was thinking: ‘The Ancient Demon Realm is unsealed?’

Then will my Dao Soldiers usher in another period of explosive growth?!

Also, he had just learned from the Elders that there are also levels of quality among accompanying Spirit Treasures.

The accompanying Spirit Treasures of Xiahou Mang, whom he had killed, as well as Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin, were roughly at the Yellow Rank. However, the Sword Lord of the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace was most likely at the Black rank, at least a peak Yellow Rank.

If such accompanying Immortal Swords were used to nurture Dao Soldiers, how astonishing would they be!

Speaking of which.

“Then what rank is my Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin?” Lu Chen himself didn't know.

But it wasn't important. After all, his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin wasn't a killing Spirit Treasure. Its greatest use was in nurturing Dao Soldiers. Why compare it with those crude killing Spirit Treasures and lose its own advantage for nothing.

Lu Chen was very open-minded.

At this moment, Protectorate Fan arrived in a hurry with the depressed Young Sect Leader.

Instantly, the few Elders seemed to have a telepathic connection, and they all stepped forward to complain and lament loudly, moving everyone who heard them.

“Please be the judge, Sect Leader. First, the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace from Northern Qi attacked our Dongming Sect's mountain gate, injured our Dongming Sect's True Disciples, and destroyed our Dongming Sect's Yuanzhou Mountain Gate. Now they have left safely, treating our Dongming Sect like dirt.”

“And the remnants of the Ancient Demon Realm, arrogant and breaking the Seal, even disturbing the Supreme Elders who were enjoying their retirement, forcing them to go and reinforce the Seal with their aging bodies.”

“Now, throughout South Chu, who doesn't know that our Dongming Sect has been bullied by the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace? This is a great humiliation, please be the judge, Sect Leader!”

Lu Chen was stunned as he listened. ‘Ah! Is it that miserable?’

The Young Sect Leader, who was already feeling depressed and had tragically lost his successor, immediately became angry. “Spring and Autumn Sword Palace, Ancient Demon Realm, you have bullied my Dongming Sect too much. This Sect will go and take a trip!”

There was nowhere to vent his anger anyway. The Ancient Demon Realm was good, and the Spring and Autumn Sword Palace was also good.

They should, be able to withstand a slap from him... probably!
