“Yes, this subordinate will do as you say.”
Hearing Chen Luoyang’s instructions, Tu Shanyi replied respectfully.
Since Chen Luoyang was confident, he didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
This Deputy Patriarch of his had proven his unfathomable strength and connections many times. To be fair, Tu Shanyi was still very confident in Deputy Patriarch Chen.
The location of the meeting was Qianjun Lake in Fan Luo Mountain, which was under the control of the Ancient Gods Clan. They would not be easily ambushed.
Tu Shanyi didn’t spread this news in the sect, but he would definitely report it to Sect Master Jiang.
The result seemed to confirm Chen Luoyang’s confidence. Sect Master Jiang didn’t object to this and didn’t say anything. He only wanted Tu Shanyi to cooperate with Chen Luoyang and do a good job of scouting and guarding the vicinity of the Thousand Ton Lake, just in case.
Tu Shanyi then sent Chen Luoyang’s reply back to the Wei Clan of Eastern Zhou.
What made him somewhat curious was that Wei Ling didn’t haggle over the price. Instead, he readily agreed to the time and place that Chen Luoyang had set. It didn’t seem like he had any ill intentions.
Tu Shanyi immediately reported back to Chen Luoyang and finalized the meeting between the two parties.
The time for this round trip was approaching. Chen Luoyang left the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters with Tu Shanyi and headed to the Thousand Ton Lake in the Fan Luo Mountain Range.
Although Wei Ling of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had expressed his goodwill and sincerity, Tu Shanyi did not have the intention to relax. He still tried to get there in advance and search for the surrounding situation.
Tu Shanyi was loyal to Sect Master Jiang, but from the bottom of his heart, he was delighted that his sect had produced such an outstanding rising star like Chen Luoyang.
When they first went to the Divine Lands, both of them were at the 14th realm. In Tu Shanyi’s eyes, the other party was just an untamed young man with potential.
However, in just a few months, this young man had surpassed him step by step in terms of strength and status, and even surpassed countless people.
The rising momentum was so fierce that it made people dumbfounded. They could not help but wonder where the end was.
To most people in the Mortal Dust World, Chen Luoyang’s rise was too sudden and too fierce. Many people couldn’t react in time and found it hard to believe.
However, Tu Shanyi had personally witnessed Chen Luoyang walk all the way from the Divine Lands to the Mortal Dust World. A few months was enough for him to adjust his state of mind.
At this moment, in Tu Shanyi’s opinion, Chen Luoyang was the most suitable candidate to succeed Jiang Yi.
Not to mention that Lin Yan, Hou Jingfei, and the others were already dead, even Lian Buyi couldn’t compare to Chen Luoyang.
As long as this young man didn’t die prematurely, he was destined to be a powerhouse of the new generation.
The arrogance, arrogance, and ambition that he had felt in the Divine Lands in the past had long become a foil to his strength.
With him around, the future of the Ancient Gods Clan was promising.
If the shift from Jiang Yi to him could be smoothly changed, the Ancient Gods Clan would be able to prosper for thousands of years, or even reach a higher level.
The only thing that worried and contradicted Mr. Tu was that this Deputy Patriarch Chen was rising too fast.
Sect Master Jiang was in the prime of his life and was still extremely young compared to his normal lifespan.
Chen Luoyang’s exaggerated upward momentum this year was undoubtedly due to the benefits he received from coming to the mortal world from the Divine Prefecture. The external environment and the optimization of material resources shouldn’t be so exaggerated in the future.
However, with a Supreme Martial Artist behind him, Tu Shanyi believed that he wouldn’t be slow.
If this continued, the story of the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would soon reappear.
If there weren’t any major accidents, Chen Luoyang might be able to shake the entire structure of the Mortal Dust World in a few years.
At that time, the Ancient Gods Clan would truly have two suns.
Two tigers couldn’t live on the same mountain, and the two cult masters would probably have a dispute.
Although Sect Master Jiang was a generous person, he couldn’t be vague on this core issue.
Deputy Sect Leader Chen was young and vigorous. He was obviously not someone who would willingly submit to others. He did not even have the intention to hide or modestly give in.
If he really was the disciple of a Supreme Martial Artist, before he truly grew up, Jiang Yi couldn’t use his status as a powerhouse to suppress others and could only watch him grow stronger.
To Jiang Yi, compared to Zheng Chi and the others, Chen Luoyang was much harder to deal with.
When both sides were equal and the Supreme Martial Artist did not interfere, it would be a scene of a fierce battle.
The Ancient Gods Clan might face a disaster that was far more severe than Zheng Chi’s rebellion.
Tu Shanyi sighed in his heart.
Right now, he could only hope that Sect Master Jiang had the means to resolve this calamity.
The bald burly man was conflicted and sighed.
Chen Luoyang, on the other hand, was nonchalant as he came to the shore of the Thousand Ton Lake. He looked at the vast smoke waves and was calm and composed.
He did not need to compete with Wei Ling.
He had the final say in today’s meeting.
After a while, Chen Luoyang’s heart stirred slightly as he looked into the distance.
In the sky, a breeze blew toward the lake.
A young man was flying with the wind and landed on the lake in front of Chen Luoyang at a moderate speed.
The man had handsome facial features and a heavy aura. However, there was a sinister look between his brows, making him look a little gloomy.
However, he was well-mannered and graceful, so he did not let these gloomy faces overshadow the host. It was just that he did not look so likable.
It was Wei Ling, the ” Hidden Dragon of the Seven Seas “, one of the Ten Heroes of the Red Dust.
“Cult Master Chen, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Wei Ling cupped his fists towards Chen Luoyang.
“You’re a guest from afar. Please.” Chen Luoyang nodded his head in greeting before leading Wei Ling along the lakeside. They arrived at a straw hut that the Ancient Gods Clan members had temporarily built.
When they entered the straw hut, there were already maids brewing tea.
Chen Luoyang and Wei Ling sat opposite each other.
After serving the tea, Wei Ling glanced at the maidservant, but Chen Luoyang remained indifferent. He didn’t seem to have any intention of dismissing his attendants as he calmly sipped the tea.
Wei Ling’s expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Seeing that Chen Luoyang didn’t have any reaction, he didn’t dwell on this matter and said straightforwardly, “”This time, I have come to ask Cult Master Chen for a favor.’
Ever since he returned to the mortal world from the treehouse, the first thing Wei Ling did was to gather as much information as possible about Chen Luoyang.
Fortunately, in the past half a year, Chen Luoyang had been a rare figure in the limelight in the mortal world. He was a Martial Emperor and a Martial Saint, and his influence was comparable to that of the powerhouses.
There were many pieces of news that could not be hidden even if they wanted to.
However, the more he studied the information, the more Wei Ling felt that there was more important information that was buried and difficult to discover.
However, just the tip of the iceberg was enough to make people look askance.
This was especially so after the recent incident where the Sunset King, Zheng Chi, was in chaos.
Green Bull Temple and Misery, a righteous man and a devil, intervened to help the Ancient Gods Clan.
There was a rumor that they were invited by Chen Luoyang to help, and not by the Ancient Gods Clan’s Sect Master, Jiang Yi.
To the outside world, this news needed more evidence to confirm.
However, just this rumor alone attracted Wei Ling’s attention.
This seemed to confirm another rumor.
This Chen Luoyang was the disciple that the legendary Supremacy had taken in after coming out of seclusion.
Wei Ling had a deep mind. After understanding the situation, he gradually gave up on trying to snatch the Heavenly Dome Stone.
He wasn’t afraid of Chen Luoyang.
No matter how dazzling the successor of the Supreme Martial Artist was, it was ultimately not the Supreme Martial Artist himself.
If someone was bullying the weak, the Supreme Martial Artist would intervene, but he would definitely not help a pile of mud that could not be helped.
But to Wei Ling, he didn’t have any grudges with Chen Luoyang in the past or in the present. Unless it was absolutely necessary, why should he become enemies?
Making friends with such a Supreme Martial Artist’s successor was undoubtedly better than making enemies.
At the very least, it would not be too late to give it a try before making a decision.
Hence, he took the initiative to invite Chen Luoyang to meet him, hoping to obtain the Dome Sky Stone through a transaction.
Even if he didn’t succeed, he should at least come into contact with Chen Luoyang face to face and understand him more directly so that he could decide if he wanted to fall out with him.
However, when they really met, Wei Ling’s heart trembled slightly.
On his way to the Thousand Ton Lake, he had just received a new message from the Ancient Gods Clan.
Chen Luoyang had recently broken through to the 17th realm.
When Wei Ling first heard this news, the first thought in his mind was disbelief.
In the history of the Mortal World, there had never been anyone who had advanced from the 14th to the 17th realm in a year.
Even the one in the Dongzhou Palace did not have such speed.
But now that he saw Chen Luoyang, Wei Ling vaguely felt that it was true…
Chen Luoyang didn’t reveal his cultivation, but Wei Ling, who was at the same realm as him, could faintly sense it.
The Chen Luoyang in front of him wasn’t like his third brother, Wei Zheng, or the Ancient Gods Clan’s Tang Yiming or Lin Yan, who were at the 16th realm.
It was the same as Wei Ling, Lian Buyi, and the others, who had reached the seventeenth realm…
He had already built the Holy Mountain and reached the peak of the Holy Mountain.
They hadn’t actually taken action, so it wasn’t easy to judge Chen Luoyang’s strength and whether he could challenge an expert at the 18th realm like them.
However, Wei Ling immediately knew that he had to be careful even if he were to turn hostile against such an opponent.
The choice of snatching the Heavenly Dome Stone by force might have to be thrown to the back of his mind.
Although many thoughts were running through his mind, Wei Ling still had a calm expression on his face.
He followed the established strategy and didn’t beat around the bush. Instead, he spoke frankly and sincerely to Chen Luoyang.
“I heard that the Heavenly River offered the Dome Stone to the Supreme, who then passed it on to Cult Master Chen.” Wei Ling said, ” I wish to use the Dome Sky Stone. I hope Cult Master Chen can lend it to me. If Cult Master Chen needs anything, please ask. I will do my best. ‘
Chen Luoyang sipped his tea and asked unhurriedly, “”What do you want the Heavenly Dome Stone for?”
“It’s necessary for practicing martial arts,” Wei Ling said frankly.
“I like honest people.” Chen Luoyang nodded his head. ” The Heaven Vault Stone is a treasure that the Heavenly River lineage has given to my master. My master has only allowed me to use it temporarily. I can’t decide to lend it out, but I’m happy to help others. Therefore, you can use it to practice martial arts, but you must stay here. You can’t take it away, and you can’t damage the
Heaven Vault Stone. ‘
Wei Ling secretly frowned, but he did not show it on his face. He only said, “I am extremely grateful for Cult Master Chen’s kindness. However, it is difficult to determine the length of time needed…’
“We can split it up.” “I also have no intention of prying into the martial arts you practice,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
He looked at Wei Ling calmly and raised three fingers.”l need you to agree to three conditions..”
