Han Mang looked at the disheveled old man and forced a smile. "Pharmaceutical Sovereign, why must you pressure me?"
"If I don't pressure you, can you make a ruthless decision? After Mighty and his group left, Han Che and I negotiated. Going to the Central Domain is our only way out. If we stubbornly defend Peach Blossom Island, waiting for Mighty to grow stronger and then retaliate to destroy Peach Blossom Island, will that make you happy? There are seven of them in total; aside from Mighty, who has no successors, the others each have at least three successors. In total, twenty-six empowered individuals were taken away, including that formidable Hidden Dragon Bloodline Giver. You must understand, within thirty years, they will grow to a powerful level. Unlike our feelings for Peach Blossom Island, they are allied with the new Cloud Spirit Sect, that scoundrel Mighty! What will we use to resist them? How can we challenge Mighty?"
The Pharmaceutical Sovereign glared at Wei Chen before turning back to Han Mang. "This temporary genius successor of yours defeated Mighty’s successor, but in reality, you know it was you who lost."
Han Mang's face showed signs of struggle. When Han Che had only four people in total, he already knew that he was the one who lost, not Mighty. Mighty had resources; those young empowered individuals were resources. But he had nothing under him; even Wei Chen was uncertain if he could be considered his resource.
"Big brother, stop hesitating. At this point, what is there left to hesitate about? Your formation is so strong that it can secure us a favorable position. Overlapping offensive and defensive formations will ensure our safety. The existence of Pharmaceutical Sovereign guarantees the smooth cultivation of disciples. Coupled with my special Cultivation Method, establishing a powerful Nine-Rank Sect is not difficult at all. Compared to Mighty, this is our only advantage," Han Che advised.
"Indeed, Han Che is right. Big brother, make a decision soon. If you don’t go to the Central Domain, I’ll go on my own," Pharmaceutical Sovereign threatened, but it revealed his true feelings; he had lost hope of finding empowered individuals in Ling Sheng Dynasty. A master alchemist's Divine Skill cannot be allowed to be lost! That would be a heavy blow for an old man.
At this moment, Han Mang turned his head towards Wei Chen and sighed. "Wei Chen, you see it too; there’s hardly anyone left on Peach Blossom Island—just the three of us old ghosts. You as the young Island Master have no face at all."
"Hehe, how could I be satisfied with just being the Peach Blossom Island Young Master? Going to the Central Domain to seize a mountain peak and establish a Peach Blossom Sect or something like a Nine-Rank Sect so I can be the Young Sect Master would be much more enjoyable."
Wei Chen certainly understood Han Mang's meaning; his words also expressed his stance.
"Peach Blossom Sect? That name sounds good; I like it," Han Che said with a smile.
"I like it too! Big brother, what do you think? Make a decision," Pharmaceutical Sovereign eagerly looked at Han Mang and wiped his dirty hands across his face.
But before he could touch Wei Chen, Wei Chen smirked and activated a short-distance spatial transmission array to hide behind Han Mang while showing Pharmaceutical Sovereign a calm smile.
"Not bad, not bad! Truly impressive talent! Big brother, with this one here, how can we worry about Cloud Spirit Sect not thriving?" Pharmaceutical Sovereign clapped in admiration as he looked at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen smiled shyly, accepting Pharmaceutical Sovereign's praise.
Han Mang gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright, let's go to the Central Domain. That scoundrel Mighty, I want him to see that no matter where I am, I can completely suppress him!"
"Great, that's what I've been waiting to hear," Pharmaceutical Sovereign said excitedly, transforming into a gust of wind and rushing into his courtyard to gather his things.
"Old man, I still have things to do. If you don't help me, I'm definitely going to be in trouble in Ling City."
"That Fellow is too impatient; don't mind him. Let's negotiate your matters now. You are our Peach Blossom Sect's Young Sect Master; your affairs are our affairs," Han Che said with a smile on his old face. Wei Chen was a treasure they couldn't afford to lose.
"Senior, what is your Cultivation Method? What kind of talent is needed to inherit it?" Wei Chen asked curiously.
"The owner of the Water Soul must have all Martial Souls as Water Souls as well," Han Che replied.
Wei Chen shrugged; it seemed he had no chance.
"What about the Pharmaceutical Sovereign's alchemical skills? What is required?"
"The owner of the Alchemy must have a Martial Soul that possesses the cauldron and fire of Alchemy; nothing else will do."
Wei Chen could only smile wryly; those were truly perverse requirements, each one more twisted than the last.
Meanwhile, Mi and Weirou returned to the Black Moon Sect, while Mo stayed in Ling City to set up some things in preparation for the Ling City War. Even if Ling City didn't erupt into battle, he had ways to make the Major Forces in Ling City fight like crazy against each other.
The Soul Palace specialized in such dealings. They sent people to stir up chaos in the Eastern Wasteland, aiming for countless deaths. Their ultimate goal was to collect souls. In the Eastern Wasteland, they sought quantity, while in Ling City, they sought quality.
In Mi's residence, it was just him and Weirou.
“Who is that person who fought against the royal family’s Ling Cong at the Ancient Spirit Academy, Weirou?”
Mii casually glanced at Weirou, whose expression changed slightly. “It’s nothing. I don’t know that person.”
“Oh? Then I’ll send someone to kill him right now,” Mii said indifferently.
“Don’t!”
Weirou quickly knelt on the ground, anxious. “Master, Wei Chen is my brother. We got separated in the Eastern Wasteland, and I just saw him today.”
“Your brother?” Mii smiled gently. “Since he is your brother, let’s recruit him into our Soul Palace. What do you think? Although his talent may not be suitable for our Soul Palace’s Cultivation Method, we are about to leave the Ling Sheng Dynasty. The remaining Black Moon Sect needs a capable leader. How about making him the leader of the Black Moon Sect?”
“Thank you for your grace, Master. I will find an opportunity to speak with him; he will definitely come. After all, being the leader of the Black Moon Sect, a Seventh-Rank Sect, is a great honor for him.”
Weirou felt delighted at this prospect. She was always considering what was beneficial for Wei Chen, and she would support anything that helped him. Clearly, becoming the Black Moon Sect Leader was a significant opportunity.
However, what she didn’t know was that Wei Chen had already decided to go to the Central Domain. There was no way he would stay in the Ling Sheng Dynasty or join the Black Moon Sect. Zhao Yu had been taken to the Central Domain by Mighty, and Wei Chen could not possibly remain behind.
Moreover, Wei Chen had no good impression of the Soul Palace! The entire Cloud Spirit Sect had been destroyed by the Soul Palace; that hatred would never fade from his memory. It seemed Weirou had forgotten about the Cloud Spirit Sect and her own country, even her family, which had been shattered by the Soul Palace.
Weirou only had vague fragments of those events; Mii had placed certain restrictions on her that made it impossible for her to recall them clearly without suffering a headache. Only Wei Chen remained deeply etched in her Sea of Consciousness; no matter how powerful Mii was, she could not erase that memory.
Because of this, Mii placed great importance on Wei Chen.
“What is so special about Wei Chen that even my Forgetting Soul Technique has no effect on him?”
Mi thought to himself, "Tonight, I'll give him a try."
Wei Chen had just finished negotiating with Han Mang, Han Che, and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign on Peach Blossom Island. The three old men looked troubled; the rest were fine, but searching for the Soul Palace to recruit someone had stumped them. They weren't afraid of the Soul Palace's strength; they simply had no idea where it was located.
"Is the Soul Palace really that mysterious?" Wei Chen asked, frowning.
"Very mysterious. All we know is that the Soul Palace is the top power in the Central Domain. The Soul Palace of the Ling Sheng Dynasty is merely a branch. Beyond that, even the royal family, various sects, and the Ancient Spirit Academy know nothing about it. If it could be found, it wouldn't be the Soul Palace," Han Che explained.
"Then let's put aside the matter of saving my sister for now. I refuse to believe that when the Ling City War breaks out, they won't show up! As long as they appear, we can follow the trail and surely find out where the Soul Palace is," Wei Chen said darkly. Without locating the Soul Palace, he couldn't feel at ease about heading to the Central Domain. As for Mu Qingyan's situation, all three old men had given their assurances; that was not an issue...
"Let's hope so. The sooner we wrap things up here, the sooner we can head to the Central Domain," Han Mang added. After a pause, he continued, "By the way, you're working as a guest elder at Dingsheng Trading Company. This is an opportunity; Dingsheng Trading Company also has influence in the Central Domain. If we go there and can unite with them, we'll definitely gain an advantage."
Wei Chen was taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Late at night, Wei Chen returned alone to Dingsheng Trading Company. He hadn't even had a chance to spend some time with Snow Cicada when Elder Di and Elegant arrived at his courtyard.
"What brings you two here?" Wei Chen asked somewhat irritably.
Elder Di smiled and said, "Wei Chenyu, did you just return from Peach Blossom Island?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me what the situation is like on Peach Blossom Island now?"
Wei Chen frowned, thinking to himself, "Han Mang advised me to maintain a good relationship with Dingsheng Trading Company. There are benefits to going to Central Domain... It’s better not to offend them."
"Elder Di, I wonder how strong your influence in Central Domain really is? Can you reach Tenth Rank?" Wei Chen asked.
Elder Di and Elegant exchanged awkward smiles, both looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Wei Chen, you overestimate us at Dingsheng Trading Company. In the entire Central Domain, there is only one Ten-Rank Divine Sect, and its status is unique. The other top powers are all Ninth Rank, totaling seventeen. We at Dingsheng Trading Company are one of them," Elegant replied.
"Only seventeen? It won't be long before it becomes nineteen," Wei Chen said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Elegant's eyes lit up, and Elder Di looked at Wei Chen thoughtfully, waiting for his response.
"Mighty took some people from Peach Blossom Island to establish Cloud Spirit Sect in Central Domain. They have three Earth Soul Realm Experts, so they can form a Nine-Rank Sect. The remaining people from Peach Blossom Island will also go to Central Domain. With Han Mang there, the formation aspect is worry-free; the Nine-Rank Sect will be established soon."
Elegant and Elder Di's expressions changed dramatically. The emergence of two additional Nine-Rank Sects would significantly impact Central Domain. Their immediate thought was whether they could gain any advantage from it. After all, Dingsheng Trading Company was primarily profit-driven and not a true Cloud Spirit Sect, so they wouldn't have conflicts with those going from Peach Blossom Island.
"Wei Chen, to be honest with you, among the seventeen Ninth-Rank Powers, there are three Merchant Guilds, one assassin group, and three Holy Dynasty Royal Families. There are only ten true Cloud Spirit Sects. However, their strength is such that even a complete Peach Blossom Island cannot compete with them. Among those ten Cloud Spirit Sects, there are more than five Earth Soul Realm Experts each, and many high-level Earth Soul Realm Experts as well. In fact, among the top-ranking Cloud Spirit Sects, there are even Soul Realm Experts present. If you go to establish a Cloud Spirit Sect, the situation will not be optimistic; any of those Cloud Spirit Sects could easily suppress you."
Elegant's gaze was fixed intently on Wei Chen, hinting at something deeper.
