Wei Chen scanned the faces of the high-ranking members at the Temple of Martial Arts and smiled lightly. "Everyone, what are you discussing in private? Can you share it with me?"
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the crowd stiffened. What was going on?
They turned to Jin Ge, the Hall Master, who was present.
Jin Ge hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Wei Chen, two years from now, people from the Bloodshed Shop will come to the Endless Divine Realm to take someone. They will certainly learn about your abilities. You can use formations to help someone advance from Fifth-Level Deity to Sixth-Level Deity; they won't ignore that. No matter how many Sixth-Level Deities there are, they won't be afraid, but they will think: what if you continue your research and find a way to elevate a Sixth-Level Deity to a Seventh-Level Deity? Then from Seventh-Level Deity to Eighth-Level Deity, and from Eighth-Level Deity to Ninth-Level Deity? Perhaps even stronger! The resources within the Endless Divine Realm can support cultivation up to Twelfth Level Divine Realm. To prevent such a situation from arising, the Bloodshed Shop will definitely target you. Have you thought about how to respond?"
The Golden Spear Elder Master initially wanted to hold back and negotiate later, but since Wei Chen had brought it up, he decided to be straightforward. He understood that Wei Chen's intention was for the Temple of Martial Arts to take a stance—whether they would assist or distance themselves when the time came.
For the Temple of Martial Arts to take a stance, Wei Chen needed to reveal some trump cards; that was what the Golden Spear Elder Master meant.
If you don't share any trump cards with us, how can we dare to follow you? Opposing the Bloodshed Shop could lead to complete annihilation! If we fail, the Temple of Martial Arts will be finished.
The crowd looked at Wei Chen with unease in their hearts.
In such matters, everyone felt anxious and uncertain.
Wei Chen smiled calmly. "If I weren't prepared, would I dare to return? Would I dare openly help others enhance their strength?"
"To save time, Left Envoy, go spread the word now. Anyone looking to utilize my formations should come to Privy Hall in ten days." Wei Chen commanded directly at Left Envoy.
Left Envoy immediately stood up and went off to spread the news.
The crowd began to realize that Wei Chen was intentionally distancing himself from the Temple of Martial Arts.
Privy Hall could be easily destroyed by Wei Chen with just one hand given his current strength. Those seeking to enhance their power would go there; this was clearly an attempt by him to create distance from the Temple of Martial Arts.
This also indicated that Wei Chen did not have much confidence in dealing with the Bloodshed Shop!
"Everyone, I will remain at the Temple of Martial Arts for another seven days. After that, I will head to Privy Hall, where I will become Privy Council Master and no longer be Chief Administrator of the Temple of Martial Arts. During these seven days, I will help my disciples resolve their doubts and set up a formation that even a Ninth-Level Deity would find difficult to breach as a form of exchange. After all, Zuo Leng and Zhang Yuqing have both taken me as their master and will be going together to Privy Hall."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, there was no surprise or shock among them. A formation that even a Ninth-Level Deity would find difficult to breach—under normal circumstances, everyone would have been eager to inquire about it. Traditionally speaking, there were no Seventh-Level Deities or higher Boundary Gods within the Endless Divine Realm. With Wei Chen setting up a formation that even Ninth-Level Deities would struggle against, it essentially meant that the Temple of Martial Arts could rest easy.
However, no one could feel happy; each person's heart was heavy.
Wei Chen was about to sever ties with the Temple of Martial Arts...
Was the hope of the Temple of Martial Arts about to leave?
What were they going to do?
"Hall Master, what do you think about this matter?"
"Wei Chen wants to distance himself from the Temple of Martial Arts to protect us! If he fails and gets killed by the Bloodshed Shop, we at the Temple of Martial Arts can still survive."
"Yes, but can we really just stand by and watch?"
"Hall Master, you decide. If you choose to let the Temple of Martial Arts follow Wei Chen, we will do it!"
"Exactly! The Bloodshed Shop has been suppressing the Endless Divine Realm for so long. We are nothing but their colony. This time, with every Divine Realm contributing a million Young Talents, that's eighteen million people! If this exploitation continues, when will we in the Endless Divine Realm ever break free from the Bloodshed Shop's grasp?"
Messages of Mental Strength flowed into the ears of the Golden Spear Elder Master.
Those who wanted to follow Wei Chen were all Ancestor Xu's elders.
Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, Zhang Shi, and Gongye Long remained silent.
Jin Ge felt troubled, caught in a dilemma that was truly difficult.
At such a moment, he realized that being Hall Master was not easy! Such decisions, if they failed, would be a devastating blow to the Temple of Martial Arts! But if they succeeded, the status of the Temple of Martial Arts would rise after the war, becoming an existence that surpassed the Eighteen Supreme Gods and Divine Realms!
The Temple of Martial Arts would no longer be just a part of the Southern Ming Divine Domain; it would lead the entire Endless Divine Realm!
A tremendous risk, a tremendous temptation!
Caught in a dilemma, it was incredibly hard.
As the Golden Spear Elder Master was at a loss, Zhang Shi transmitted a message, saying, "Hall Master, if you allow it, I am willing to take the people from the Thunder Sword Sect to assist Wei Chen. Regardless of whether we succeed or fail in the end, we from the Thunder Sword Sect will still be considered a branch of the Temple of Martial Arts."
Before the Golden Spear Elder Master could fully comprehend Zhang Shi's words, Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, sent a message: "Jin Ge, you take your people to preserve the foundation of the Temple of Martial Arts. I have made up my mind to withdraw from the Temple and follow that Wei Chen into battle."
"Master of the Hall, Gongye Hong's thoughts are all on Wei Chen. If Wei Chen dies, she probably won't survive either. If something happens to Gongye Hong, then living on would have no meaning for me," Gongye Long transmitted.
Jin Ge was taken aback; did Gongye Long mean he would also follow Wei Chen?
What the hell? Are they all going crazy?
The Golden Spear Elder Master felt like cursing; the high-ranking members of the Temple of Martial Arts had all expressed their intentions and wanted to follow Wei Chen?
On ordinary days, they were reluctant to put in effort or spend time for the Temple of Martial Arts, yet when it came to facing death, they were all so eager!
Jin Ge felt like he might get drunk...
Wei Chen calmly looked at everyone. He knew that the old fellows of the Temple of Martial Arts were communicating mentally, negotiating whether to follow him or let him leave alone to protect the Temple. No matter what the outcome was, Wei Chen could accept it. From the moment he crossed back through the barrier of the Fire Clan Secret Realm, he had made up his mind to leave the Temple of Martial Arts and not let its members face difficulties because of him.
After all, he was still respected within the Temple.
People need respect and recognition; with respect and recognition comes a sense of belonging. Wei Chen had received respect and recognition in the Temple of Martial Arts, and he still felt a considerable sense of belonging there. He had enough confidence to deal with Bloodshed Shop but did not want to cause trouble for the Temple.
At this moment, Wei Chen's loyalty and righteousness were profoundly manifested.
Wei Chen was waiting for them to finish their negotiations and give him an answer.
But perhaps that answer was already obvious; no one was willing to accompany him into death.
The Golden Spear Elder Master found it difficult to make a decision regarding such a significant matter that concerned the survival of the Temple of Martial Arts; it wasn't something that could be decided easily.
Unable to make a decision, after several rounds of urging from others, they ultimately gave up.
If you can't be the master of the Temple of Martial Arts, then I can always be my own master!
An Elder of the Ancestor Xu stood up, passionately declaring, "Wei Chen, the Bloodshed Shop has treated our Endless Divine Realm as a colony for far too long. No one with any pride can continue living like this. Within the Endless Divine Realm, there is no shortage of resistance forces; we just lack a suitable leader. If you take the lead, I am willing to follow you."
Another Elder of the Ancestor Xu rose, eyeing Wei Chen intently, and said in a deep voice, "Wei Chen, take me with you. This old body of mine can't handle the higher-ups of the Bloodshed Shop, but dealing with their ordinary lackeys is still within my capabilities."
"And I want to stretch my legs too! Even if I die, I want to take out a few Bloodshed Shop members to vent my anger!"
The Elder Ancestors all stood up to express their support; not a single one remained seated.
Then, Zhang Shi stood up and said, "Wei Chen, all those who belong to the Thunder Sword Sect will follow you to slay the Bloodshed Shop members; it is our duty!"
"Wei Chenzi, count me in," Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, stood up with a grin on his face, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit!
Gongye Long said, "Wei Chen, my granddaughter likes you and insists on marrying no one else. You know this, right? If anything happens to you, Gongye Hong will surely not live alone either. In that case, I would be left as a lonely old man, which would be meaningless. If we are to die, we might as well die together, ha ha."
Upon hearing Gongye Long's words, Zhang Shi quickly added, "Wei Chen, Lady Zhang Yuchu's feelings for you have never changed. To avoid making everyone laugh at me, I must say that Lady Zhang Yuchu fell in love with you at first sight and has been hopelessly smitten ever since. Just like the Grand Elder said—she will marry no one but you. Everyone knows this. With the Bloodshed Shop as our common enemy, we won't discuss this matter now. But once you've driven them back, you must give her an explanation."
The tense atmosphere lightened somewhat due to Zhang Shi and Gongye Long's interjection.
The Elder Ancestors chimed in: "Wei Chenzi is quite fortunate! Once the Bloodshed Shop is defeated, just marry both girls and be done with it—why bother fighting over it?"
"Yes, yes! Both girls are exceptionally beautiful; they won't be a burden for you!"
"Grand Elder and Zhang Shi, what do you think? In the Endless Divine Realm, we have never cared about such distinctions between wives and concubines. Let Wei Chenzi marry both; as for how to convince those two girls—well, that's up to you!"
"Heh heh! If they don't agree, there's nothing we can do about it. Either he marries none or he marries both."
The Elder Ancestors were being rather disrespectful due to their age, and the atmosphere grew even more lively. It seemed that the heavy burden weighing on their hearts had been lifted by Zhang Shi and Gongye Long's playful "proposal."
Wei Chen felt embarrassed; was it really impossible not to get married after all this?
"Let's talk about matters of romance after we eliminate the Bloodshed Shop," Wei Chen said calmly while suppressing his embarrassment.
Everyone was left puzzled—was Wei Chen agreeing or refusing?
"Wei Chenzi, since we've all decided to follow you so readily, why don't you give Zhang Shi and the Grand Elder a straightforward answer?"
"Yeah, Man, what's with all the hesitation?"
"Will you marry us all? Yes or no?"
The Elder Ancestors began to stir again.
How could Wei Chen refuse?
"After we destroy the Temple of Martial Arts, I'll agree to whatever you elders say," Wei Chen said with a wry smile.
But deep down, he felt secretly pleased. After all, Gongye Hong had feelings for him, and Zhang Yuchu possessed the Primordial Force Bloodline and was an exquisite beauty. Such good fortune was hard to come by.
"Zhang Shi, Grand Elder, are you satisfied now? We're looking forward to the wedding feast."
A serious matter had turned into a joyous occasion amidst their banter...
The threat of the Bloodshed Shop was momentarily forgotten. Wei Chen knew they were all pretending to be relaxed; who could truly feel at ease?
Everyone noticed that Wei Chen's goal was not just to repel the Bloodshed Shop but to annihilate it! They couldn't help but wonder where his confidence came from.
