"Forget it, why think so much? Once we reach the Upper Realm of this world, everything will become clear. For now, Thunderstorm promised me he would attend the Peach Blossom Sect's Establishment Celebration. When Bai Xiaosheng arrives, I can use him to spread the news, which will be beneficial for me."
"The Fire Sect is so strong; I can just follow behind and take advantage of their power."
"Actually, it's not really taking advantage. After all, Gu Yuehong's strength is comparable to Thunderstorm's, and Donghua's power could easily slay Thunderstorm. He cut through a mountain with a wooden sword; Thunderstorm must have heard about that. He should be able to gauge the gap between his strength and Donghua's, and he will likely act accordingly, giving our Peach Blossom Sect some face."
"If he doesn't give us face, then he shouldn't blame us for not giving him face in return."
With Gu Yuehong and Donghua around, Wei Chen felt quite confident. Although he had developed some wariness and caution towards Donghua, he didn't show it on the surface. He remained very respectful towards Donghua, addressing him as Master and kneeling without hesitation when required.
This kind of demeanor had to be maintained to ensure longevity.
Sometimes, playing the fool is necessary; if you don't pretend to be humble, you might end up truly becoming a fool—unable to even play that role and instead becoming a dead man.
Feigning weakness is not cowardice; it's an extremely clever tactic. Around Donghua, Wei Chen felt as if he could be eliminated at any moment by the insidious Donghua. However, his mental fortitude had improved significantly; he was now adept at reading situations and knew exactly how to act.
Only by keeping everything hidden could he gain Donghua's trust. Wei Chen understood deeply that returning to the Hua Xia World depended on Donghua. If he were to slowly cultivate step by step in each realm, how long would it take him to return?
Given such a long time frame, Wei Chen asked himself if he could wait.
Since he couldn't wait, he would cling tightly to Donghua's thigh. The risks were great, but so were the rewards. Especially in times like these, having Donghua around made a significant difference. If danger arose, Donghua would be his true shield.
Wei Chen buried all his thoughts deep within while maintaining a calm expression.
Suddenly, Elegant said, "Wei Chen, I've noticed you've changed a lot."
"What do you mean?"
"You've matured more than when you were in the Eastern Region."
"Matured? Hehe, isn't that a good thing?" Wei Chen grinned widely.
"Yes, maturity is indeed a good thing, but you've taken it a bit too far. You no longer give me the impression of that naive boy from before; now you seem more like a qualified leader, with a somewhat somber aura."
"Times change; there's no point in comparing. If I had continued to be naive, I might have been dead by now."
At that moment, Qingling, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "Wei Young Master, I don't want you to become that kind of schemer. You were great back in the Eastern Region."
Qingling was still young—not just in age but in mindset. She had not been exposed to the darker side of the world through Dingsheng Trading Company and maintained a pure heart.
For a beautiful girl, isn't this also a form of happiness?
Those dark aspects should be borne by men; why burden women with them?
Hearing Qingling's words inexplicably lifted Wei Chen's spirits. He smiled lightly and said, "Qingling, it's really wonderful that you can still be like this."
Qingling felt a bit dazed by his compliment, her face turning red like a ripe apple, with two charming dimples radiating youthful vitality.
Wei Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Youth is truly wonderful!"
He seemed to have forgotten that he was still quite young. However, the experiences he had gone through and the various peculiarities about him made his heart age rapidly. When a person harbors too many things within, their heart grows faster. To put it bluntly, that means aging quickly.
“Elegant, once the crisis of our Peach Blossom Sect has passed, I will bring my people to help you. That Dongxing Trading Company and Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization, since they dared to offend you and my friend Wei Chen, they won't escape death.”
Elegant did not pay attention to the latter part of Wei Chen's words; what mattered to her was the first part: “You are so strong now that no one in the Central Domain dares to confront you. What crisis could you possibly face?”
“Soul Palace!” Wei Chen gritted his teeth, emphasizing each word.
“Soul Palace?!” Elegant exclaimed in shock, then pressed further, “What happened? Is it because you destroyed a branch of Soul Palace in the Eastern Region?”
“That's definitely the reason.”
“No wonder! Soul Palace has never suffered such a huge loss before. That incident was purely coincidental; the people from Soul Palace were too careless and ended up being wiped out by you. Even Fire Sect has never completely annihilated a branch of Soul Palace in one go.”
Hearing this, Wei Chen frowned and said, “Fire Sect is that strong; it can't be that simple.”
“Well, it has never happened before. I don't know the specifics. Sigh, if Soul Palace comes knocking, you shouldn't worry too much; after all, you have two powerful experts on your side.”
“It’s not as simple as you think. This time, Soul Palace summoned people down from the Upper Realm. The strength of those two can easily annihilate experts at Thunderstorm level,” Wei Chen explained.
“Upper Realm?” Elegant clearly did not understand what Wei Chen meant.
Wei Chen explained the concept of Upper Realm and shared his speculations with Elegant, whose complexion turned slightly pale.
“Wei Chen, how did you come to know these secrets?” Elegant asked seriously.
Wei Chen replied, “Because I am soon going to the so-called Upper Realm, and I have some understanding of what exists there. The Soul Palace has managed to persist because they have connections in the Upper Realm. Whenever they face a significant crisis, they can summon help from there. The summoned individuals may not be particularly strong in that world, but here in our realm, they are incredibly powerful. You can think of it this way: even ten Thunderstorm combined wouldn't stand a chance against just one of them.”
Elegant was left speechless, while Qingling slightly parted her cherry lips, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her two white rabbits bouncing around.
Wei Chen gazed northward and said, “When those two formidable assassins descended into our realm, we sensed a strong killing intent directed at us. Those of us who participated in the massacre against the Eastern Region and the Soul Palace felt it coming. They could strike at any moment; we are just waiting for their move.”
“If they are that strong, how do you plan to deal with them? If it comes to worst, just hide! Don’t linger in the Central Domain, go to the Northern Region or the Southern Region. There’s hardly any presence of the Soul Palace there!” Elegant said anxiously, momentarily forgetting whether Wei Chen could still assist her.
Hearing Elegant's words warmed Wei Chen’s heart; he thought that this woman still had a conscience and genuinely cared for him, not just for her own interests.
“I never fight battles without confidence. When those two assassins arrive, I will ensure they come and go without return! What does it matter if they are from the Upper Realm? Those who need to be killed will still be killed!”
“Is your master really that strong?” Elegant asked in shock.
“Pretty much. My master can easily take down ten Thunderstorm at once,” Wei Chen boasted.
His tone was bold, but in reality, Donghua could indeed accomplish that. As for whether he could withstand those two assassins from the Upper Realm, only he knew…
Perhaps, it was yet another trap.
The old woman brought Bai Xiaosheng to Cang Mountain.
The speed was indeed beyond imagination.
"Brother Bai, we meet again. I'm currently tied up with various matters; otherwise, I would have come to find you myself. I hope you understand," Wei Chen said with a cheerful smile.
"Brother Wei, you flatter me. As the elder brother, I wanted to visit your Peach Blossom Sect anyway. Since you were looking for me, I came right over," Bai Xiaosheng replied, exchanging pleasantries with Wei Chen before becoming serious. "Brother Wei, you must have important matters to discuss, right?"
Bai Xiaosheng knew Wei Chen's temperament; he was not one to engage in idle chatter or false pretenses, so they got straight to the point.
Wei Chen nodded and said, "I would like to ask Brother Bai for a favor: help me convey a few messages throughout the Central Domain."
"Sure, no problem. Please go ahead, Brother Wei."
"First, I have a good relationship with Thunderstorm. They will definitely attend the sect's founding ceremony; Thunderstorm promised me that back when we were at Penglai Island."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Bai Xiaosheng was shocked but managed to maintain his composure, nodding slightly as he silently committed Wei Chen's words to memory.
"Second, although our Peach Blossom Sect is not large in number, we have quite a few strong individuals. Please help me spread the word that we have three Peak Soul Realm Experts."
Bai Xiaosheng had already heard rumors and had witnessed one in Maguan City, so he was not as taken aback by this news as he had been by the first. However, having three was still one more than he had anticipated.
He never doubted that at such a critical moment, Wei Chen would not exaggerate. Without substantial strength, he wouldn't dare release such information. If it turned out to be mere boasting and was exposed, it would be impossible for him to maintain his standing in the Central Domain.
"Thirdly, the Soul Palace is about to mobilize against us, the Peach Blossom Sect, simply because we inadvertently destroyed one of their secondary branches while we were making our mark in the Eastern Region. The people of the Soul Palace are furious, and it won't be long before they march against us."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened in shock as he stammered, "Brother Wei, this is serious. With your status, it can't be baseless, right?"
"Absolutely not. This is a confirmed matter. I don't know when the Soul Palace will come, but I can guarantee they will come soon! Sister Qingya can vouch for me; back in the Eastern Region, a branch of the Soul Palace provoked us, and we took them down directly."
Bai Xiaosheng had no doubt about Wei Chen's strength, but when facing the Soul Palace, most forces would choose to retreat and would never dare to provoke them. The consequences would surely be dire.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at Wei Chen with a hint of pity in his gaze.
Elegant nodded and said, "Brother Bai, this is true. When I was still in the Eastern Region, I witnessed Wei Chen and Senior Han Mang take down a secondary branch of the Soul Palace. That branch was not weak; it was undoubtedly a secondary branch."
The so-called secondary branches were those under the headquarters of the Soul Palace; there were not many of them, and each was very important to the Soul Palace.
"Alright, I've noted that. Is there anything else to convey?"
"There's one more thing. I want to invite the Formation Masters from the Central Domain to Cang Mountain to help our Peach Blossom Sect create formations. Depending on the rank of the Formation Masters and the formations they set up, the gifts will vary. We have plenty of Fifth-Rank to Ninth-Rank spatial demon beast blood that we can offer, and even some blood from the Divine Dragon!"
Bai Xiaosheng gulped audibly and felt completely overwhelmed.
One could imagine that if all these items were conveyed, the entire Central Domain would be thrown into a massive upheaval!
