Privy Hall is, in fact, a tragedy.
Concerned about Wei Chen, fearing that his actions might lead to an alliance between the Temple of Martial Arts and Duke Sui's Residence that could threaten them, they contemplated killing Wei Chen. If that were to happen, the Duke Sui's Residence and the Temple of Martial Arts would not be able to unite completely. Even if they were to retaliate against him, Privy Hall would have nothing to fear.
After all, Privy Hall had been in conflict with the Temple of Martial Arts and Duke Sui's Residence for many years; they were not to be trifled with.
However, they never expected that Wei Chen would fall out with Duke Sui's Residence himself. With no possibility of an alliance between Duke Sui's Residence and the Temple of Martial Arts, Privy Hall's declaration became meaningless.
The worst part was that Wei Chen held a grudge. Because of Privy Hall's declaration, he developed a lethal intent towards them, leading to a tragic outcome.
Their fate was uncertain; it was doubtful whether Dinglong Mountain could withstand Wei Chen's assault.
Wei Chen received news from Gongye Long the Elder that Dinglong Mountain had not collapsed. It had already formed multiple layers of defenses, waiting for Wei Chen's arrival.
"Wei Chenzi, what do you think? The defensive power of Dinglong Mountain is no joke," Gongye Long the Elder said after relaying the news, hoping to hear Wei Chen's thoughts. However, Wei Chen remained calm and unresponsive, prompting Gongye Long the Elder to ask directly.
Hearing Gongye Long the Elder's question, Wei Chen rolled his eyes and looked at him. "Elder, are you really that concerned about my affairs?"
"Your affairs?" Gongye Long the Elder was taken aback. Destroying Privy Hall was such a significant matter, yet Wei Chen treated it as if it were merely his own concern.
"Of course it's my affair! Could it possibly be the Temple of Martial Arts' affair?" Wei Chen replied coolly.
Gongye Long the Elder retorted angrily, "Naturally, it's a matter for all of us at the Temple of Martial Arts! Do you really intend to go to Dinglong Mountain alone?"
"Of course! I did it before in Eastern Forest. Dealing with Privy Hall is my own business; surely you understand that?" Wei Chen said lightly.
Gongye Long the Elder responded, "That was then; this is now. At that time, you did not have the support of the Temple of Martial Arts. The timing wasn't right; Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, didn't dare recklessly involve the Temple of Martial Arts. The situation is different now. The Master of the Hall and the Elder Ancestors have unanimously decided to help you eliminate Dinglong Mountain. This is no longer just your fight!"
Hearing this, Wei Chen smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, but I don't need it! Dealing with Privy Hall is something I can handle on my own, just like I did at the beginning. This is my personal matter and has nothing to do with Temple of Martial Arts. I appreciate your goodwill."
"You... you... fine, fine! You're something else!" Gongye Long the Elder was so exasperated that he didn't know what to say.
In his eyes, Wei Chen was simply being stubborn! Facing Privy Hall alone—what did he think Privy Hall was?
"Elder, there's no need to rush. Take your time," Wei Chen said, looking at Gongye Long the Elder with a calm smile.
He seemed completely unbothered, showing no concern for Privy Hall at all.
Gongye Long the Elder retorted angrily, "Let me tell you, the defenses of Dinglong Mountain are formidable. The outer Army will leave you in pieces if you go alone, not to mention the twelve layers of defensive formations within Dinglong Mountain. Those formations are incredibly powerful. The family known as the Fire Tribe once attempted to attack Dinglong Mountain, and what happened? They ended up leaving in disgrace!"
"Although you've killed half of Privy Hall's strong fighters, that was due to your strategic setup and luring them in. If you try to attack Privy Hall directly, the situation will be entirely different."
"Think carefully; without our assistance from Temple of Martial Arts, how could you possibly breach Dinglong Mountain's defenses?"
"Even if you manage to break through those formations, there are still countless strong fighters waiting for you inside Dinglong Mountain. Going there would be a dead end."
Gongye Long the Elder was nearly beside himself with anger; he had never seen anyone as arrogant as Wei Chen—going to Dinglong Mountain alone was tantamount to seeking death!
"Elder, you seem quite concerned about me. Hehe, thank you! However, I still appreciate your goodwill. Privy Hall is my personal affair. After I break through Privy Hall and establish a new one, it will be my own power and has nothing to do with Temple of Martial Arts."
Wei Chen's words were somewhat harsh, as if he implied that Gongye Long the Elder's desire to help was merely Temple of Martial Arts trying to take advantage of him.
It is undeniable that within the upper echelons of the Temple of Martial Arts, there are indeed such thoughts. However, the primary concern is the safety of Wei Chen. If anything were to happen to him at this time, it would be a devastating blow to the Temple of Martial Arts.
Elder Gongye Long remained silent for a moment before helplessly saying, "Wei Chenzi, Old Master and the others do have such intentions. They want to share in the spoils after we break through Dinglong Mountain. It would be unrealistic to think otherwise. However, you should also understand that our greatest worry is still your safety. You are currently the face and hope of the Temple of Martial Arts. Losing you would mean losing half of what we have built. You understand this, don't you?"
Wei Chen shook his head with a smile and replied, "I know all that, but how does it relate to my attack on Privy Hall? Elder, you can rest assured; Privy Hall is my own matter. I won't recklessly seek death. I've survived until now by being cautious; I won't take on things I’m not sure about."
Elder Gongye Long felt helpless; Wei Chen was just that stubborn. Once he made up his mind about something, there was truly no way to change it!
In fact, before advising Wei Chen, Elder Gongye Long had anticipated this outcome. He did not feel disappointed; he was simply deeply worried about Wei Chen's safety. Just like him, Wei Chen was now the face and hope of the Temple of Martial Arts. Losing him would bring consequences that the Temple could not bear. Only with Wei Chen safely at the Temple could it continue to thrive.
"Alright then, do as you see fit," Elder Gongye Long said with resignation as he looked at Wei Chen. This young man was truly too stubborn. His concern for Wei Chen's safety was not only for the Temple of Martial Arts but also for his granddaughter Gongye Hong, along with a genuine care and affection for a talented junior.
For various reasons, Elder Gongye Long did not want to see anything happen to Wei Chen.
However, attacking Dinglong Mountain alone seemed far too dangerous in Elder Gongye Long's eyes!
"Wei Chen, the defensive forces at Dinglong Mountain have already been set up. What are your plans?" After thinking for a while and realizing he could not dissuade Wei Chen from his actions, Elder Gongye Long could only offer whatever advice he hoped Wei Chen might heed.
Wei Chen chuckled dismissively and said, "Let them handle it for now. After a few days when they’ve rested enough, I’ll go slowly then. Right now, I lack the energy to go; plus, they’ve just set up their defenses and their morale is high. If I go now, there’s no benefit."
Hearing Wei Chen's words brought some comfort to Elder Gongye Long. Wei Chen was not reckless; understanding when to advance and retreat was very important.
"You’re right; let them worry for a while. When their defenses weaken on their own, it won’t be too late for you to go then. By the way, Wei Chen, are you really going alone?"
"Not exactly alone; it's just that it won't involve the Temple of Martial Arts. I will bring my own people—the ones I brought with me," Wei Chen replied calmly.
Gongye Long the Elder furrowed his brow and asked, "Are they from the Thunder Sword Sect?"
"Not at all. The Thunder Sword Sect is also a force of the Temple of Martial Arts. Although in your eyes, the people from the Thunder Sword Sect might be considered my direct subordinates, I personally think they are not worthy," Wei Chen replied with a smile.
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Gongye Long the Elder immediately recalled that Wei Chen had brought back seven mysterious individuals. Their strength and cultivation methods were unknown, and they had never appeared within the Southern Ming Divine Domain.
Understanding this, Gongye Long the Elder asked, "Are they those seven people?"
Wei Chen nodded and said, "That's right."
Gongye Long the Elder continued, "They are all Divine Kings you brought from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System, aren't they?"
"Yes, you're quite clever," Wei Chen teased as he looked at Gongye Long the Elder.
Gongye Long the Elder let out a wry smile and said, "I’m not sure what the strength of your people from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System is like, but those seven don’t seem to be easy to deal with. I wish you success."
"Thank you. We will definitely succeed," Wei Chen gently nodded.
After hesitating for a moment, Gongye Long the Elder asked, "Wei Chenzi, what kind of strength do those seven possess?"
The combat abilities of Donghua Sword Immortal, Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Great Merchant God King, Sui Huang, Zhuanxu, and Agricultural Sovereign were something even Wei Chen did not know.
After all, he had yet to witness Donghua Sword Immortal, Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Great Merchant God King, Sui Huang, Zhuanxu, and Agricultural Sovereign in action within the Endless Divine Realm; thus, he was unable to ascertain their true capabilities.
"Donghua has integrated with Xuanyuan Sword, its power must be impressive. Within the Endless Divine Realm, it should be comparable to the combat strength of a Supreme God, right?" Wei Chen thought to himself.
"The Shaohuang God King is very strong; the sword technique Ascend to Godhood is no joke. Moreover, influenced by the oppressive aura of the Endless Divine Realm, the Shaohuang God King is at his peak. Among the seven of us, his combat strength should be the strongest. If I don't use Stellar Power, even relying solely on the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, I still wouldn't be able to defeat the Shaohuang God King."
"The Taihao God King's combat strength is also quite remarkable. Among Divine Kings in the Ancient World, Taihao God King ranks at the top."
"As for that Great Merchant God King fellow, he may not look like much, but his cultivation of Stellar Technique is exceptionally compatible. His combat strength shouldn't be weak either."
"Regarding Zhuanxu, Agricultural Sovereign, and Sui Huang, their strength is slightly weaker, but their Stellar Power is quite impressive. With Divine King-level cultivation of Stellar Power, how could they be weak?"
"The Donghua Sword Immortal, Taihao God King, Shaohuang God King, Great Merchant God King, Sui Huang, Zhuanxu, and Agricultural Sovereign—these seven are my strongest support!"
With this thought in mind, Wei Chen looked at Gongye Long the Elder and confidently said, "Any one of them could dominate the Temple of Martial Arts. Do you believe me?"
Although Gongye Long the Elder felt that Wei Chen was boasting, he rationally nodded. Since Wei Chen was so confident, it must be true.
At that moment, Gongye Hong hurriedly arrived at Wei Chen's residence. Seeing her grandfather and Wei Chen together, she frowned and asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?"
"Hong'er, is it only allowed for you to seek out Wei Chen? Can't I come to negotiate some matters with him?" Gongye Long felt a bit more cheerful upon seeing Gongye Hong.
Ignoring her grandfather's teasing, Gongye Hong turned to Wei Chen and said, "Wei Chen, something has happened! Zhang Yuqing from Thunder Sword Sect has gotten into a fight with Zuo Leng!"
