Hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, Wei Chen's mood plummeted to the depths.
With his current fame, if Mighty were in the Central Domain, there would be no problem at all. He could simply demand their presence, and Mighty wouldn't dare refuse. If they were uncooperative, he could just take them out without hesitation.
But now, Mighty had actually gone to the Southern Region?
What the hell? The Southern Region is an even more backward place than the Eastern Region!
"Brother Bai, do you have any influence in the Southern Region?" Wei Chen asked Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng showed a look of regret and apology. "I'm sorry, but no. My influence is all in the Central Domain. There is very little connection between the Southern Region and the Central Domain. Even those who come here to seek fortune are few and far between. The Southern Region is not like the Eastern Region; the strong from the Eastern Region still have ambition. Every year, a large number of strong individuals from the Eastern Region come to the Central Domain because it is the best place to become powerful. However, those from the Southern Region lack that awareness; they don't want to come to the Central Domain because they fear the competition."
"Your Mighty must have felt the pressure from the Central Domain and thought they couldn't stay any longer, unable to expand, which is why they went to the Southern Region. With their strength, they could very well become a Major Force there."
Bai Xiaosheng felt regretful; he truly couldn't help Wei Chen with this matter.
"Brother Bai, thank you anyway. Otherwise, we would have searched for years in the Central Domain without finding them."
"Sigh, although I don't have much influence in the Southern Region, I do have some friends there with decent standing. Whenever you go to the Southern Region, I can ask them to assist you. Finding a few people shouldn't be too difficult."
"Alright, thank you, Brother Bai."
…
Wei Chen was despondent. The fact that Mighty was not in the Central Domain was a significant blow to him. He had to find Zhao Yu, but going to the Southern Region made it much harder. The sea route between the Central Domain and the Southern Region was larger than that between the Eastern Region and the Central Domain, and crossing over would take quite some time.
Once he arrived in the Southern Region, finding someone would be another arduous journey.
The time required for everything, conservatively estimated, would take at least half a year.
“The Paralyze Mighty, once I find you, you will know what pain truly is!”
“I don’t have time right now. Once I handle the matters with the Peach Blossom Sect and resolve the crisis at the Soul Palace, I will head straight to the Southern Region. You better prepare yourself; I’ll wipe you out with one hand.”
Wei Chen was genuinely furious. Time was already tight, and the situation in the Central Domain was not looking good. Now he had to go to the Southern Region to find Zhao Yu, which was no small trouble. Many of Wei Chen's plans had been disrupted by this matter.
Bai Xiaosheng left Cang Mountain with an apologetic expression. Just as he stepped away, a group of people arrived at Cang Mountain.
“Wow, so this is Cang Mountain? I didn’t expect that Wei Chen has done quite well for himself, managing to establish the Cloud Spirit Sect in the Central Domain.”
“Isn’t that right? Sigh, we used to bully him back in the day. It’s going to be awkward when we see him.”
“It’s been so long; I’m sure Wei Chen isn’t the type to hold grudges. Just relax.”
“By the way, Sister Wei Rou seems to be with Wei Chen, right?”
As soon as that person finished speaking, a young man with a stern expression let out a heavy cold snort and said, “Shut up! Wei Rou is with Wei Chen but not together with him.”
“Dong Ge, what’s the difference?”
“There’s a big difference. Enough nonsense; Wei Chen was picked up by our Wei Family. No matter what, he cannot be considered one of us. Once we meet up with Wei Rou, we leave immediately. This place isn’t suitable for us.”
This young man was named Wei Dong. Among the younger generation of the Wei Family, he was a prominent figure with decent talent. At just over twenty years old, he had reached the peak of the Spirit Realm. In the Eastern Wasteland, he was undoubtedly among the best.
“Wei Dong, you’re mistaken. We barely survived under the pressure from the Sea Tribe and have now come to a place like the Central Domain with such a good foothold at Azure Mountain Peach Blossom Sect. Even if our talent and strength don’t match up to Peach Blossom Sect’s standards for entry, Wei Chen is one of us from the Wei Family; he will help us. We don’t want to leave; if you want to go, then go by yourself.”
"Are you looking for death? Once you receive Weirou, leave immediately without delay! The Wei Family is under my control now, and you have no right to make a fuss," Wei Dong said coldly.
At that moment, a middle-aged man emerged from the carriage and said lightly, "Listen to Wei Dong. He is the hope of our Wei Family. After all, Wei Chen is not of our bloodline. If we join the Peach Blossom Sect, it would be unjustifiable."
As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, the members of the Wei Family fell silent. However, it was clear that aside from Wei Dong, the other young people wanted to stay at Cang Mountain and did not wish to leave.
Soon, Wei Chen flew out of Cang Mountain with Weirou and landed directly in front of the Wei Family Member.
Upon seeing her kin from the Wei Family, Weirou instantly burst into tears and threw herself into a woman's embrace.
Meanwhile, Wei Chen, seeing those familiar yet slightly unfamiliar faces, felt a wave of emotions wash over him.
"I left the Wei Family for the Cloud Spirit Sect six years ago, and now it's been another two or three years. It's been almost ** years since I've seen you all."
Wei Chen scanned the faces of everyone present, recalling their names one by one. Regardless of whether they were from the younger or older generations, their gazes toward Wei Chen were filled with admiration.
No matter what his bloodline was, his name belonged to the Wei family!
Seeing the majestic Cang Mountain, hearing about the renowned Peach Blossom Sect, and looking at those gathered outside Cang Mountain, it was easy for anyone to imagine how powerful Wei Chen had become.
As for Wei Chen's strength, no one from the Wei Family Member could discern it. To them, it was simply clear that Wei Chen was impressive.
One by one, Wei Chen called out their names, addressing them as brothers or younger brothers, and respectfully greeting uncles and elders. Witnessing this scene, those who had previously treated Wei Chen poorly felt ashamed. The contrast between how they had treated him before and how he treated them now was immense!
Finally, Wei Chen's gaze landed on a middle-aged man. This man held a low position within the Wei Family, having little influence. Yet he was the one who had picked up Wei Chen from the roadside all those years ago; otherwise, Wei Chen would have long since perished.
"Father..."
Wei Chen walked up to the middle-aged man and knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
Wei Chen had always known that the exclusion and bullying he faced in the Wei Family were not due to his adoptive father's lack of care, but rather because his adoptive father's position in the Wei Family was insufficient to protect him. After being bullied, Wei Songming would often sulk alone, but what could he do?
The one in power within the Wei Family was Wei Dong's father, Wei Huayang.
"Chen'er... you... sigh, as long as you're safe, that's all that matters," Wei Songming said, tears also in his eyes. He helped Wei Chen up, and the two embraced, overwhelmed by their long-awaited reunion.
After a while, Wei Chen regained his composure and smiled at the Wei Family members. He no longer cared about the bullying from years ago; it was all part of youthful folly, or perhaps even just naivety. The conflicts of the past were unnecessary to dwell on now that they had grown up.
The gazes of the Wei Family members toward Wei Chen gradually shifted from admiration and respect to warmth. After all, they had grown up together; even without blood ties, what did it matter?
"Ji Mei, this is a favor I owe you. I believe Sister Wei Rou no longer holds a grudge against you, right? I never expected you to take such good care of the Wei Family members."
Wei Chen thought for a moment, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "Let's go to Mount Cangshan. From now on, you are all members of the Peach Blossom Sect. Although the Peach Blossom Sect isn't particularly powerful, training there ensures safety. We have enough Soul Stones and Soul Techniques. As members of the Wei Family, we must work hard and not bring shame to our Peach Blossom Sect."
"Alright!"
"Wei Chen, we will follow you!"
"Wei Chen, you are magnanimous; we will surely look up to you from now on."
After a lively commotion, Wei Dong stepped forward. He looked at Wei Chen with a cold smile and said, "Wei Chen, we are only here to take Weirou back. You have no blood ties to the Wei Family; you can never truly consider what's best for us. Your goodwill is unnecessary; we are returning to the Eastern Region now."
"Wei Dong is right. Under this roof, one must bow their head. If we return to the Eastern Region, we can become a force there. Here, our strength is insufficient; what can we do but become a laughingstock?" Wei Huayang also stepped forward to stop the Wei Family members from going to Mount Cangshan.
Weirou's parents were also those who had no real authority in the Wei Family. They stood aside looking timid and did not dare to speak. Along the way, they had witnessed too many strong individuals and heard too many rumors about Wei Chen. However, where the Wei Family went was not something Wei Chen could decide; the head of the Wei Family was still Wei Huayang.
"Are you here to pick up Wei Rou? Ha, what a joke. Wei Rou is doing just fine in the Peach Blossom Sect. Do you really think she needs you to come and get her? You should be grateful to still be alive."
Wei Chen's mood soured as he recalled the rumors, and his words became increasingly sharp.
Wei Huayang had no sons; Wei Dong was adopted. However, Wei Dong's treatment in the Wei Family was far beyond what Wei Chen could compare to. From the very beginning, Wei Dong enjoyed the best resources and was treated like a biological son by Wei Huayang. With Wei Huayang holding absolute power over the Wei Family, no one dared to say a word against him. Even when he passed the position of family head to Wei Dong, no one dared to object.
The influence accumulated over so many years could not be easily dismissed.
"This matter is not for you to decide. Wei Rou is one of us from the Wei Family; you have no right to meddle," Wei Dong said coldly.
"Sister Wei Rou, do as you wish," Wei Chen said, pouting towards Wei Rou.
Wei Rou firmly stood by Wei Chen's side and declared, "Everyone come with me to the Peach Blossom Sect! What does it matter if we go to a place like the Eastern Region or Eastern Wasteland? Even if one becomes an emperor there, what difference does it make? Even the Holy Dynasty Emperor of the Eastern Region would have to kneel and pay respects when meeting Wei Chen. Don't be so old-fashioned; Wei Chen has never regarded you as outsiders. He is a member of the Wei Family and always will be."
At that moment, Wei Huayang shot a fierce glance at Wei Rou's parents, who dared not say anything and simply pulled Wei Rou back.
Seeing this scene, anger surged within Wei Chen.
He sneered at Wei Dong and Wei Huayang, saying, "If you don't want to go to Mount Cangshan, then feel free to leave. Those who do want to go can follow us."
"What happens within our Wei Family is none of your business. Wei Chen, stop thinking too highly of yourself," Wei Dong paused before continuing, "Wei Rou is my fiancée; what right do you have to interfere?"
