Before Situ Gonghong could finish his sentence, Xie Chong’s white brows had already furrowed.
The so-called protection of the Divine Prefecture naturally meant that the Red Dust Sect had taken over everything.
If the other forces wanted to harm the Divine Lands, the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan would continue to fill in the gaps.
If they were not satisfied with just one battlefield in the Divine Lands, they would not hesitate to start a war in the Mortal World.
Since he had already said this, his determination to fight to the end was very clear.
However, one of the prerequisites for this was that the Ancient Gods Clan in the Divine Lands had to return to the sect and listen to the arrangements of the Red Dust Sect.
The person with the greatest influence was undoubtedly the Sect Master, Chen Luoyang.
Letting him go to the mortal world meant that he would be transferred out of the Divine Lands.
To be fair, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
It was more likely to be an exchange.
It mainly depended on how the Sect Head would arrange Chen Luoyang.
He couldn’t help but say, ” Red Dust has the heart to protect the Divine Lands. We are grateful for your kindness. I just wonder what the Sect Master will do after he goes to Red Dust.
Situ Gonghong didn’t have any intention of correcting Xie Chong’s title. He smiled and replied, “”Are you worried that Mr. Chen will be left alone? Mr. Chen is young and promising. He has unified the world of China. His strength and talent are one in a million. He is also a rare talent in the world of mortals. Of course, the sect will not let such a talent go idle.”
Xie Chong’s white brows were tightly knitted together, not relaxing at all.
He now understood why the people from the Azure Dragon Palace came to the Divine Land instead of the people from the White Tiger Palace and the Black Tortoise Palace who were usually responsible for handling internal affairs.
Could it be that the Sect Head was going to arrange for Chen Luoyang to stay in the Azure Dragon Hall?
Even though Xie Chong was not well-informed, he knew that there was something wrong with this arrangement.
Chen Luoyang’s gaze was emotionless as he looked down at the young man from the Mortal Dust World.
Situ Gonghong’s expression remained calm despite being stared at by Chen
Luoyang.
“According to the discussion of the Union of Gods and Devils, the most suitable position for Mr. Chen is undoubtedly to enter the Divine Devil Palace,” he said calmly.
When Xie Chong heard this, his furrowed brows relaxed a little.
The Divine Devil Palace was a force directly under the cult master of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan. Those who could be selected to enter were all the cult master’s trusted aides.
Most of the higher-ups of the Red Dust Sect, including the four hall masters, entered the Divine Demon Palace to train before being released.
Of course, if Chen Luoyang went in, it was uncertain whether he would be released or put in an important position.
However, this was at least a normal procedure. It meant that he had entered the highest echelon of the Red Dust Sect.
As long as it wasn’t the Cult Master who found him an eyesore, there wouldn’t be a situation where Chen Luoyang would be stuck in an awkward position.
From the current situation in the Divine Prefecture, the Sect Leader didn’t have any prejudice against Chen Luoyang. Instead, he had some appreciation for him.
No matter how ambitious Chen Luoyang was or how unwilling he was to be below others, to the Sect Leader, this could be considered a sign of his desire to improve.
The people who would fear him were those high-level experts who were competing for the next sect master.
However, these people couldn’t affect the Divine Devil Palace.
Just as Xie Chong was thinking about this, Situ Gonghong continued, ”
However, the Cult Master is currently in seclusion. If Mr. Chen wants to enter the Divine Devil Palace, he needs the Cult Master’s approval. The Divine Devil Alliance can’t make the decision.
Chen Luoyang’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, but he still didn’t say anything.
“So, what the chief means is that your Azure Dragon Hall…” Xie Chong frowned and said.
Situ Gonghong nodded. ” The position of the fourth night of the Azure Dragon is vacant. Mr. Chen, you can take over this position for a period of time. We will make arrangements after the Hierarch comes out of seclusion. I also have the intention to recommend Mr. Chen to enter the Divine Devil Palace. ‘ Xie Chong’s face was as dark as water.
Although he knew that the Red Dust Sect was filled with experts, such an arrangement was simply humiliating!
In Xie Chong’s impression, if it was someone like Wang Fei, Chen Chuhua, or Nie Guangyuan who was good at enduring, it might not be a big deal.
But to the arrogant Chen Luoyang, this was more like a form of mockery.
Xie Chong was old and spicy, and he also felt his anger rising.
“May I ask if this is the decision of the Chief of the Azure Dragon Hall or the joint decision of the entire Union of Gods and Demons?” he asked immediately.
Although Xie Chong had a fiery temper, he still managed to keep a bit of composure.
At this moment, he seemed to be rude and interrupted first, but he left some room for his sect master to maneuver.
If their sect master and the head sect directly fought head-on, the result would be completely out of control.
” Naturally, it’s a joint decision of the Devil Alliance, ” Situ Gonghong said. ” I wonder where Old Mister Xie’s question came from? ”
Xie Chong’s words started to become impolite. “”Pardon me for asking, but what was the reason for the vacancy of Azure Dragon 4, the previous head of the sect?”
“I sacrificed myself for the church and died on the battlefield,” Situ Gonghong answered frankly.
Xie Chong nodded. ” This old man admires the heroic spirit of a righteous man. However, I have to ask one more thing. Can this brother of mine kill the five direct descendants of the western paradise, the South Chu Empire, and the Devil Buddha Faction in one battle? ”
He looked straight at Situ Gonghong. ” Judging from Mr. Situ’s cultivation realm, I believe that the previous Azure Dragon 4’s cultivation realm is definitely not low. However, what I’m talking about is the direct descendants of the other Holy Lands who are at the same realm as him.
Situ Gonghong did not mind. Instead, he smiled.”l understand what Old Mr. Xie means. I’ve also heard about Mr. Chen’s display of power in the previous battle.
It was also because of this that he was arranged to temporarily take over the position of the fourth night of the Azure Dragon.
According to past practices, Azure Dragon 5 should replace Azure Dragon 4, I should replace Azure Dragon 5, and Azure Dragon 7 should replace me. The new Azure Dragon 7 will replace Azure Dragon 5.
This rule was not broken based on cultivation.
Only those who had made great contributions would be adjusted. Mr. Chen made an exception this time because of his merit.”
When Xie Chong heard this, he was so angry that he laughed.
So, I have to thank you and be grateful?
Situ Gonghong looked at Xie Chong with a smile, neither anxious nor impatient.
However, he knew that the person he was really dealing with was not the white-haired old man in front of him, but the black-robed young man sitting high up in the seat.
Situ Gonghong was always secretly paying attention to the other party’s reaction.
Strictly speaking, there was no problem with their arrangements.
The previous Azure Dragon 4, who had died in battle, was a Martial Emperor at tne 14tn realm like cnen Luoyang.
The only difference was that the previous Azure Dragon 4 did not have the qualifications to cultivate such a peerless divine technique like the Demon God Blood.
In fact, most of the people in the Divine Devil Palace were not qualified. Only the most outstanding and lucky ones had some hope.
In the entire Red Dust Sect, there were only a handful of people who had cultivated the Divine Demon Blood.
For example, Chen Luoyang was an anomaly among anomalies.
Within the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan, it wasn’t as if Chen Luoyang didn’t exist.
Its nature was equivalent to the Protector of the Outer Helm.
If the Protector of the Outer Helm was transferred back to the four inner palaces, he would be demoted if he was not the chief of the four palaces or the first night of the palace.
However, Chen Luoyang’s punishment was only ‘temporary,’ so there wasn’t any problem with the procedure.
Entering the Divine Devil Palace required the Sect Leader’s personal permission. There was no doubt about that.
Before the sect master came out of seclusion, he didn’t even need to consider this path.
Back then, when the Cult Master was in seclusion, he probably didn’t expect that Chen Luoyang would offend the western paradise and the South Chu
Empire at the same time as the direct disciple of the Devil Buddha lineage.
Although these two families were old rivals of the Ancient Gods Clan, it was not easy for anyone to intensify the conflict to this extent.
Of course, no one had expected Chen Luoyang to be so good at fighting.
How to deal with him had become a thorny problem for everyone, but they could not completely ignore it.
It would be awkward for everyone if the current situation was created.
However, Situ Gonghong knew that many people, including his Chief Monk, were secretly satisfied with this situation.
That was why he came here.
If the other party were to endure this, then Azure Dragon 4 would be waiting for him.
It was fine if he didn’t want it. Then he would really stay idle in the mortal world. There was no other suitable place to arrange for him.
Everything could wait until the sect master came out of seclusion.
He believed that at that time, this young man would still have a chance to enter the Divine Devil Palace. Then, under the arrangements of the Cult Master, he would wait for the opportunity to be put in an important position.
If he didn’t have the chance, he would focus on practicing martial arts and be personally nurtured by the sect master.
That was actually fine.
They were all paths that everyone had taken together. From now on, everyone would continue to compete based on their own abilities. Their first move advantage was ultimately real.
But the problem was, could this Chen Luoyang endure it?
If Chen Luoyang took the initiative to fall out with the Sect Leader, that would be for the best.
Regardless of whether they let him be and let the western paradise, Southern Chu and the other powers deal with him first or if they personally acted, there wouldn’t be any problems.
Situ Gonghong faced Xie Chong while waiting for Chen Luoyang’s reaction. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely nervous.
If Chen Luoyang were to get angry, he, as an errand boy of the Azure Dragon Hall, might very well become the target of his anger.
If this person was a little more irritable, he might have killed Situ Gonghong and sacrificed his flag to break off relations with the main sect.
Of course, Situ Gonghong didn’t want to die.
Chen Luoyang had unexpectedly met him in the Central Plains ‘Luoyang City instead of the Ancient South Desolate Divine Peak that was closer to the void gateway. This made Situ Gonghong unable to escape even if he wanted to.
Under such circumstances, Azure Dragon Six’s thoughts became lively. He seriously considered whether he should give Chen Luoyang a heads-up if he was forced to the final stage.
Other than Azure Dragon 4, there was another position that could be reserved for him as the Protector of the Outer Helm.
An external force on the main sect’s side was actually not much different from the power of the world’s overseer in the mortal world.
It could barely be considered a flat transfer.
However, it was still a loss for him to be transferred to a brand new place to fight again from a place he was extremely familiar with and had personally unified.
However, compared to Azure Dragon 4, who was living under someone else’s roof and was somewhat humiliated, this was at least still a solo town.
The latter method was proposed by a relatively neutral person in the Demon Union.
But ultimately, no one wished for Chen Luoyang to continue staying in the Divine Lands.
It meant that this world was forever independent of the outside world.
Since that was the case, why did the Red Dust Sect Chief bother with him?
The first and last methods could be considered as first suppressing and then raising, bargaining.
However, the Azure Dragon Hall’s people hoped to create a situation where Chen Luoyang wouldn’t listen to the second method and would immediately turn hostile.
Just as Situ Gonghong was considering how he should act appropriately, Chen Luoyang finally spoke.
“Does Red Dust actually want me to go to the White Tiger Hall?”
Situ Gonghong was stunned.
What was this?
Although the big shots of the White Tiger Palace Hall also wanted you to be done for, what does it have to do with the White Tiger Palace Hall now?
“If not for that, why would you send a person who committed a capital crime to me?” As Chen Luoyang spoke, he stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.
“Although I have no intention of joining the White Tiger Palace, since Red Dust doesn’t know how to use people, I’ll just give him a demonstration..”
