The members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect were straightforward and efficient, leaving without a word.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity was taken aback. "They're leaving just like that?"
Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "These people are quite impressive, disciplined. If we linger here, what if the Golden Clan's army arrives?"
"But doesn't that mean our contact with the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect was for nothing?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity replied with a wry smile.
Wei Chen shook his head and laughed. "No, the senior brother leading them intentionally left behind a trace of energy. He wants us to follow them."
"Let's go, we’ll keep up." Wei Chen took the lead, with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity following closely behind as they trailed the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect.
They followed for half of Golden City. The senior brother from the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, having learned from experience, no longer dared to return to their previous location. Changing places frequently was essential for survival.
After two full hours of twists and turns, the senior brother finally entered a courtyard.
"Thank you for saving my life, esteemed seniors. Please reveal yourselves," he said, cupping his fists slightly toward the void.
Wei Chen, along with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity, landed in the courtyard, smiling as they looked at the figure in black.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that the black-clad individual was still quite young.
Wei Chen chuckled and said, "Brother, you members of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect are very cautious in your actions. However, it's best not to act rashly for now; the Golden Clan is on high alert everywhere. A slight misstep could lead to dire consequences."
"I will remember your teachings, esteemed seniors. Today's events are a great kindness I will never forget," the young man said respectfully as he bowed to Wei Chen and his companions, displaying a demeanor befitting a prominent sect.
Wei Chen nodded lightly and asked, "What is your name?"
"You may call me Zhang Zi," he replied.
Zhang Zi... this name was rather unique. Compared to names like Leopard, Golden Flower, or Golden Mechanism, it was far more elegant.
Zhang Zi had initially wanted to ask Wei Chen about the titles of the three of them, but the question lingered on his lips before he swallowed it back down. They were his saviors; he thought it best not to pry further.
Wei Chen said, "Zhang Zi, have you seen the three of us before?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zi shook his head in confusion and replied, "I have not met the three seniors."
"Then how did you come to the Golden Clan Secret Realm? We suspect that you must have seen us when you entered the Golden Clan Secret Realm, after all, we came in together," Wei Chen said lightly.
Zhang Zi replied, "I do not know. When we from Xiaoxiang Sword Sect entered the Golden Clan Secret Realm, it was within an elder's independent space."
An independent space capable of accommodating living beings could only belong to the True God World.
Wei Chen asked, "Is your elder at the Twelfth Level Divine Realm and does he also possess a True God World?"
Zhang Zi's expression turned to one of surprise. He thought to himself, "These three seniors don't seem powerful enough to possess a True God World. Where could they have heard such news..."
"Senior, as you mentioned, our elder is indeed at the Twelfth Level Divine Realm and possesses a True God World," Zhang Zi confirmed.
Wei Chen nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "Could you introduce us to your elder? He must know us."
"I'm afraid I cannot comply. I need to report this matter to my elder before any decision can be made," Zhang Zi said firmly.
"Alright, remember our appearance and go report to your elder. If he wishes to meet us, you can come find us at Tong Inn, and we will arrange a place to meet."
With that, Wei Chen gave Zhang Zi a cheerful glance and departed with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
Zhang Zi thought to himself, "With the Elder's strength, if they were to quietly follow me, they would definitely be able to find me. In that case, it wouldn't hurt to seek out the Elder now."
...
Wei Chen, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, and Ying Qin Supreme Deity returned to Tong Inn.
It was surprisingly smooth; the first time they actively sought out someone from Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, they made a connection.
"Master, the strength of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect doesn't seem that impressive. Those few men in black are just Sixth-Level Deities and Seventh-Level Divine Realm beings," Ying Qin Supreme Deity analyzed.
With Wei Chen's presence, their perspectives had been continuously elevated...
Back when Wei Chen had not yet arrived in Endless Divine Realm, weren't Sixth-Level Deities considered dominant figures? And wasn't a Seventh-Level Deity someone who had broken free from the constraints of Endless Divine Realm?
Wei Chen helplessly said, "Ying Qin Supreme Deity, think about it. Are there really such young Sixth-Level Deities and Seventh-Level Deities existing within Endless Divine Realm?"
"Consider this: can the ordinary Supreme God-level figures within Endless Divine Realm withstand the attacks of that Zhang Zi just now?"
"Everything is comparative. Even you have only barely reached Ninth Level Divine Realm, right? That Zhang Zi is merely a team leader; he probably doesn't hold much status within Xiaoxiang Sword Sect."
"If it were a powerful top-tier faction, perhaps they would qualify, but the three of us do not have that qualification."
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Ying Qin Supreme Deity's face turned red with embarrassment. Every point Wei Chen made was valid, leaving no room for rebuttal. Following Wei Chen had raised his perspective too quickly, causing his strength to lag behind his elevated viewpoint, making Ying Qin Supreme Deity feel somewhat unsteady.
Wei Chen continued, "Xiaoxiang Sword Sect is on par with Bloodshed Shop as a top-tier force in the realm. Especially after Bloodshed Shop experienced internal strife, Xiaoxiang Sword Sect's strength has completely surpassed Bloodshed Shop. As for the Golden Clan within the realm, I am not clear about their strength and cannot draw any conclusions. The members of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect who came to Golden Clan Secret Realm are just a small number led by an Elder; the rest are likely ordinary disciples under that Elder. Endless Divine Realm has been heavily suppressed by Bloodshed Shop; otherwise, the number of strong individuals within Endless Divine Realm would be quite considerable."
"So what should we do now?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "What else can we do? We wait for news. When we entered the Golden Clan Secret Realm, that elder came in with us, and all the people he brought are within his True God World. So we can't see anything. The elder's strength is such that if he doesn't want us to see it, we won't."
Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked, "Will he agree to meet?"
"He will. He heard everything we said when we entered the Golden Clan Secret Realm. Anyone who can become an elder of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect is certainly not a fool; he knows that at this moment, we are his allies, the only allies in the Golden Clan Secret Realm. To achieve his goals, he must unite all possible forces," Wei Chen replied calmly.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity said, "Master, there's one thing I don't understand. Since that elder is a powerful Twelfth Level Divine Realm, why doesn't he just destroy the kneeling statue of the Xiaoxiang Sword God directly?"
"He wouldn't dare take that risk without a foolproof plan. After all, if he did, it would leave some traces that could be discovered. Even though he could pose a significant threat to the Golden Clan Secret Realm, his own life would be at stake. The Golden Clan Secret Realm could seek help from the Boundary Gold Clan, while the people of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect would be isolated and completely wiped out. It wouldn't be worth it for that elder and his subordinates to be annihilated in the Golden Clan Secret Realm just to vent their anger."
Wei Chen's analysis was thorough, and Ying Qin Supreme Deity admired him even more for it.
Wei Chen then turned to Ying Qin Supreme Deity with a grin and said, "Ying Qin Supreme Deity, at times like this, your Void Traversal Ability becomes extremely precious. What the people of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect dare not do, we can do. Once we've accomplished our goal, we can escape using your Void Traversal ability and distance ourselves from Golden City; then there will be no issues."
Having just belittled Ying Qin Supreme Deity moments ago, now Wei Chen was flattering him...
This was Wei Chen's way of managing people.
Whether one could lead a team or be a leader depended greatly on one's own strength and the power behind them; their responsiveness and thinking ability were also crucial. It was essential not to let subordinates become arrogant or to dampen their enthusiasm.
It was challenging to cover all bases; Wei Chen could only try his best.
Suddenly, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said, "Master, I'm worried that staying here might cause some problems."
"The Tong Inn? What problems could there be?" Wei Chen asked lightly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming explained, "That coachman isn't just anyone; at Tong Inn, there are occasional auctions where items not found in the Golden Clan Secret Realm are sold... If that's the case, this Tong Inn could be quite problematic!"
Wei Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing to worry about. Tong Inn has a strong backing; it's not just a force within the Golden Clan Secret Realm, but one of the top powers in the realm. You see, Tong Inn itself is a top-tier force. They specialize in running safe inns, gathering intelligence, selling information, and auctioning rare items. In this realm, no one wants to offend Tong Inn because they possess an overwhelming amount of information."
After the coachman introduced the situation regarding Tong Inn, Wei Chen formed this speculation. Consulting with Killing God Senior confirmed his thoughts.
Tong Inn is one of the top forces in the realm, even stronger than Bloodshed Shop by a level. This is mainly due to the internal strife that Bloodshed Shop has faced over time. Tong Inn operates many luxurious inns, each equipped with formations and strong defenses. Every inn has its own Shopkeeper Shen, whose strength is estimated to be at least at the Twelfth Level Divine Realm. The leader of Tong Inn is referred to as Master Tong, a figure so formidable that even Killing God Senior would not dare to provoke him.
It's not just a matter of being cautious; it’s a complete avoidance.
This illustrates how powerful Tong Inn truly is.
With its strong resource channels, Tong Inn profits significantly from selling intelligence and can cultivate many powerful individuals from those earnings. Additionally, their auctions generate substantial income.
In the realm, there’s a saying: don’t compare wealth with Tong Inn; their resources are simply too vast. Tong Inn is the major player; their visible assets include various types of inns and shops, all of which belong to them.
The safety provided by Tong Inn is also universally recognized in the realm.
Essentially, staying at Tong Inn guarantees safety even if Twelve-Level Divine Realm Experts come knocking.
Wei Chen shared everything he knew about Tong Inn with Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity. The two fellows were so frightened they trembled; this was truly terrifying!
Wei Chen added, "What’s most remarkable is that Tong Inn has always maintained neutrality and never participates in battles; they only focus on making money and avoid fighting."
