Wei Chen was the hope of the Temple of Martial Arts, and that had not changed since he began to shine within its ranks.
Only Wei Chen could lead the Temple of Martial Arts to truly establish itself in the Southern Ming Divine Domain.
During the eight years that Wei Chen was absent, everyone in the Temple of Martial Arts searched for him, but to no avail. Some even believed he had died.
However, he had disappeared along with the Shaohuang God King and others. The Temple of Martial Arts speculated that it would be difficult for Wei Chen to have perished, considering that those seven individuals were all incredibly powerful and not much weaker than a Supreme God-Level being.
Such a formidable force within the Endless Divine Realm—who could possibly extinguish it?
Moreover, there had been no reports throughout the Endless Divine Realm of Wei Chen engaging in battle with any faction alongside his formidable subordinates. If Wei Chen had truly fought someone, there would have been at least some news about it.
Thus, the Temple of Martial Arts firmly believed that no one could have stealthily killed Wei Chen while he was under the protection of the Shaohuang God King and Donghua Sword Immortal without anyone noticing.
As a result, the core leadership of the Temple of Martial Arts, including Golden Spear Elder Master, Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, and Ancestor Xu Elder, were all convinced that Wei Chen was alive.
The most direct evidence was that the Mental Strength seed left by Wei Chen within the Temple of Martial Arts had not dissipated; how could he possibly be dead?
The notion that Wei Chen was dead was merely a wild speculation from those who had been unable to find him for so long.
Now that Wei Chen had returned with his subordinates, the entire Temple of Martial Arts fell into silence.
Expressions of surprise and hope surged on the faces of nearly everyone in the Temple of Martial Arts.
Wei Chen scanned the faces of all those present and smiled lightly, saying, "What’s this? After eight years apart, have you all almost forgotten me?"
With Wei Chen taking the lead, the previously silent Temple of Martial Arts erupted into excitement!
"Chief Administrator, you have finally returned!"
"Welcome back, Chief Administrator!"
"Welcome back, Chief Administrator!"
The shouts converged into a wave of sound, creating an overwhelming atmosphere.
After the disciples of the Temple of Martial Arts celebrated for a while, Wei Chen raised his hand and smiled, "I went to a secret realm and trained for eight years. I left in a hurry and didn't inform you all. I apologize."
His words were directed at the Golden Spear Elder Master, Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, and Gongye Long. There was no need for an apology to ordinary disciples.
"Hahaha! It's alright, it's alright! The important thing is that you're back!" the Golden Spear Elder Master laughed heartily.
Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, and Zhang Shi smiled as well, showing no signs of reproach.
Among the disciples of the Temple of Martial Arts, Wei Chen keenly noticed that two people's gazes were different from the others.
One person's gaze was filled with surprise, excitement, and passionate affection; the other person's gaze held more scrutiny alongside the surprise.
The first person was naturally Gongye Hong. During Wei Chen's eight-year absence, she had suffered the most within the Temple of Martial Arts.
She missed him every night, unable to see him, left only to drink from the Yangtze River... As for Zhang Yuchu, she felt a deep sense of loss regarding Wei Chen's disappearance, as if she had suddenly lost her anchor and direction in life...
Now that Wei Chen had finally appeared again, returning safely with his subordinates, Gongye Hong was naturally overjoyed and almost wanted to rush into his arms. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuchu's scrutinizing gaze intensified.
"Father, Wei Chen's strength has likely reached the Ninth Level Divine Realm in terms of pure Divine Power. His Mental Strength seems even stronger. The power within him that resembles the Power of the Stars has also grown more formidable. His current combat ability is enough to single-handedly annihilate a Divine Realm," Zhang Yuchu conveyed to her father, Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi asked calmly, "Are you sure?"
"I am sure," Zhang Yuchu replied.
"Don't ask. We already know about Wei Chen's extraordinary abilities. After eight years, he must have gained tremendous strength. Let's not pry or ask him anything. His increased power is a good thing for the Temple of Martial Arts," Zhang Shi said.
Zhang Yuchu remarked, "I wonder what he plans to do next. In the entire Endless Divine Realm, no one is his match anymore."
"Whatever he chooses to do is fine. You should find a chance to get close to him. I understand your feelings; you need to think clearly. First and foremost, you are a woman, not someone who digs into his identity or strength. You should consider yourself, not worry about what Wei Chen will do next."
Zhang Shi knew well how Zhang Yuchu felt about Wei Chen, but he also understood that someone with Zhang Yuchu's temperament would find it hard to win Wei Chen's favor. Being cold and distant while constantly trying to gauge someone's limits wouldn't endear her to him.
Zhang Yuchu remained unconvinced but nodded slightly.
At that moment, Wei Chen waved his hand and smiled, "Everyone disperse. If there are any issues tonight, come find me. For those of you who have switched to array techniques, I'm sure you've accumulated quite a few questions over these eight years, so feel free to ask me. Zuo Leng, Zhang Yuqing, follow your master. If your swordsmanship hasn't improved, it will be quite difficult for you."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the disciples of the Temple of Martial Arts began to take their leave. Zuo Leng and Zhang Yuqing eagerly followed Shaohuang God King, whose swordsmanship had long impressed them. Unfortunately, they had lost track of Shaohuang God King over the past eight years and had accumulated many questions that needed clarification.
As everyone dispersed, Wei Chen and the higher-ups of the Temple of Martial Arts entered the main hall.
Although Golden Spear Elder Master and others were eager to know where Wei Chen had been and what he had experienced, they wisely refrained from asking. They could sense that Wei Chen had become even stronger; with someone like him, it was best to let things be rather than inquire further.
After some greetings, Wei Chen got straight to the point: "Master of the Hall, tell me what has happened in the Temple of Martial Arts and within the Southern Ming Divine Domain and Endless Divine Realm over these eight years."
Wei Chen urgently needed information; the next steps in his plans were crucial.
Golden Spear Elder Master replied, "Many Fifth Level Divine Realm experts came looking for your assistance. Knowing you were absent, they left gifts and returned."
"Ha ha, if someone comes next time, I'll directly help them improve. If I'm not here, just let them wait for a bit. I will return periodically to help them set up formations to enhance their realms. As for gifts, there's no need; just have everyone return them," Wei Chen said calmly.
The Golden Spear Elder Master nodded but had a look of confusion on his face.
Wei Chen continued, "Master of the Hall, are you wondering why I'm helping those people improve without asking for anything in return? And that in doing so, the power of our Temple of Martial Arts won't be as strong?"
The Golden Spear Elder Master slightly nodded, and Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, along with Ancestor Xu Elder and Gongye Long the Elder, also looked puzzled.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "What I want is the overall enhancement of the Endless Divine Realm. The more Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm experts who come to seek me out, the better."
"As for the reason, just wait two years, and you'll understand. For now, don't ask too many questions," Wei Chen added.
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the core high-ranking members of the Temple of Martial Arts all changed their expressions.
Two years?
Was this timing a coincidence?
In two years, it would be when the Blood Slaughter Shop Selection Tournament concludes, and the Bloodshed Shop would send people to take away the talents from the Endless Divine Realm!
"What does Wei Chen intend to do? Is this timing just a coincidence?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling it isn't. Wei Chen has been gone for eight years; now he returns and prepares for two years. Is this meant to deal with the Bloodshed Shop?"
"Eight years ago, news came from the Bloodshed Shop about selecting Talented Disciples. That was also when Wei Chen first emerged and started rising! After that, he left and secluded himself for eight years, becoming unfathomably powerful!"
The group secretly communicated among themselves.
Zhang Shi squinted his eyes, choosing not to participate in the discussions around him.
His silence did not prevent others from seeking his opinion. As the Vice Hall Master of the Temple of Martial Arts, he had dedicated himself to the temple for eight years, earning the acceptance of figures like the Golden Spear Elder Master and Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master.
“Zhang Shi, what do you think?” Jin Ge actively reached out to him through sound transmission.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Shi replied, “As it stands, even if Wei Chen were a Tenth Level Deity, he would not be a match for him. And each of his subordinates is capable of killing a Seventh Level Deity.”
Upon hearing Zhang Shi’s words, the Golden Spear Elder Master was left utterly stunned.
“Zhang Shi, are you sure?” The Golden Spear Elder Master could hardly believe it.
“I’m sure,” Zhang Shi affirmed.
Jin Ge understood that Zhang Shi was typically composed and would not make baseless jokes.
Before long, Zhang Shi's statement spread throughout the upper echelons of the Temple of Martial Arts.
So…
“Is Wei Chen planning to go to war with the Bloodshed Shop?”
“The possibility is quite high. This fellow is capable of anything.”
“What will we do then?”
“Going against the Bloodshed Shop doesn’t lead to a good outcome!”
"Is Wei Chen's strength really enough? He might achieve some victories in the short term, but once Bloodshed Shop sends reinforcements, Wei Chen will be in trouble."
"We're in trouble too. Our strength is nothing compared to Bloodshed Shop."
The crowd whispered among themselves, and after a moment of silence, the Golden Spear Elder Master transmitted his voice, "Everyone, calm down. In my opinion, Wei Chen will definitely take action against Bloodshed Shop. As for our Temple of Martial Arts, we should look for opportunities to negotiate later. For now, let's inform him about the issues concerning Wei Chen one by one."
The Golden Spear Elder Master knew that Wei Chen came from the Ancient World. If Wei Chen dealt with Bloodshed Shop, it would ensure true safety for the Ancient World. Jin Ge could easily understand this reasoning. Moreover, with the two-year time frame and Wei Chen's intention to help all Fifth-Level Deities within the Endless Divine Realm enhance their strength for free, Sima Zhao's intentions were already common knowledge.
Regardless of whether Wei Chen took action or not, Bloodshed Shop would eventually seek him out.
Why? The reason was simple: Wei Chen could control the Void Suppression Power left by Bloodshed Shop using formations. That was significant.
This battle was inevitable, and how Temple of Martial Arts should respond was the real dilemma.
Should they choose to follow Wei Chen? That would lead to death!
Should they choose to abandon Wei Chen? They couldn't bear to do that!
Such entanglement was unsolvable.
Wei Chen had intentionally waited two years to observe the reactions of the higher-ups in Temple of Martial Arts. In the end, he was somewhat satisfied; at least they did not panic too much.
