Chapter 486: Chapter 483: Leave It to Me_1
As for those traitors, Yang Chen naturally had no obligation to be merciful to them. In fact, expelling them from the sect was already merciful in his opinion.
As he said, since they had already chosen to betray and leave the Yuanshan Sect, why did they need to come back at all?
Now, the mighty Yuanshan Sect army returned in full force. All disciples of the Yuanshan Sect looked up to Yang Chen, and none disobeyed him.
If they were still somewhat unconvinced by Wu Ming, they were wholeheartedly convinced by Yang Chen, without a shred of doubt. It wasn’t because of anything else, but simply because of the shocking strength Yang Chen had just demonstrated. They couldn’t find any fault with him.
Where else could they find such a Young Sect Master?
“Young Sect Master, what are we going to do now?” Wu Ming couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Chen walked ahead, and seeing the hopeful looks of the disciples, he blinked in surprise and said, “What else can we do? Of course, we’re going back.”
“Um… Young Sect Master, isn’t it a bit hasty to go back now?” Wu Ming said.
Yang Chen scratched his head, “Hasty? Where’s the haste? There’s still more than a day left. If we don’t go back now, it’ll be tough to return.”
“Young Sect Master, I know about that. But…but we’ve been pursued by the Fu Shui Sect all the way, and we simply haven’t had the time to spare. After all, our Sect Leader and Elders from the sect had explicitly instructed us to look for some materials in the Secret Realm.” Wu Ming said.
The other senior and junior brothers also sighed bitterly, “Yeah, Young Sect Master, that’s what we’re lacking. Even if we couldn’t find the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that the Elders asked us to look for, we should at least bring back some other things to give an account, but now we don’t have time, all our sect disciples are empty-handed.”
“If we return empty-handed, even if we have excuses and reasons, we will still be scolded to death by the Elders in the sect.”
“Yeah, Young Sect Master, what should we do? This Thousand Year Treasure opens only once every thousand years, and the opportunity is extremely rare. If we return empty-handed, even if the Elders don’t scold us, we’ll still feel extremely upset.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen touched his chin, and then remembered.
Indeed, pursued by the Fu Shui Sect all the way, the disciples of the Yuanshan Sect had no time or opportunity to find treasures. They practically entered empty-handed and returned the same. Wu Ming had an even more tragic experience, with a broken arm.
Although there were valid reasons for this, the disciples couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
How much did the Yuanshan Sect invest to let them enter the Thousand Year Treasure, to gain benefits and help the sect prosper?
As a result, this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity was wasted by them. Even if the Sect Elders didn’t say anything, who could be happy about that?
“So what do you plan to do? Take this opportunity to find as much as you can?” Yang Chen asked.
“This…this is the only way out.” Wu Ming said helplessly.
Yang Chen laughed, “How can this method possibly work? On the way back, the sect forces must have swept all the treasures on the road clean. What could they possibly leave for you? Even if you find something, it’s probably something that others don’t care about. When you bring it back, will the sect Elders really appreciate it?”
“This…”
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, the hearts of these senior and junior brothers grew even colder.
“So, Young Sect Master, what should we do?” asked the brothers.
Yang Chen grinned, “It’s simple. Just watch me, and you don’t have to worry about this. I have confidence.”
He was, after all, the controller of the entire Secret Realm. Although his cultivation was insufficient and he couldn’t find some high-level materials, finding some low-level materials to bring back was as easy as pie, wasn’t it?
“Young Sect Master, what’s your method? Please tell us.”
“Yeah, Young Sect Master, don’t shoulder all the responsibility by yourself.”
Yang Chen was touched by their concern and waved his hand, “You don’t have to worry about it. I have my own way. Now, let’s hurry back. Time is tight…”
Although Yang Chen returned, he remained low-key within the Yuanshan Sect, still maintaining his disguise and not revealing his identity. He knew that his identity was still very obscure, and if he really appeared publicly, it would be difficult to ensure that someone wouldn’t target him.
For now, focusing on returning without causing trouble was the most important thing for the Yuanshan Sect.
Thus…
Time passed, and because Yang Chen deliberately let Yu Ban disguise himself as Emperor Tiandu, he announced a two-day deadline. None of these geniuses dared to ignore his words. The two-day period was short, and although individual sects like the Fu Shui Sect had other thoughts, most of the other sect powers chose to leave the Secret Realm.
This allowed Yang Chen and the Yuanshan Sect to leave the Secret Realm together safely. Even though there were some troubles, they managed to avoid them without any danger.
In this way, two days later, Yang Chen and the Yuanshan Sect left the Secret Realm together through the open entrance.
When they exited the Secret Realm, there were crowds of people outside, a chaotic mix of fish and dragons. At a glance, it was not hard to see that the numbers were not much less than when they entered. The most crucial point was that the number of masters had clearly increased significantly.
These masters were naturally specially mobilized by various sect powers of North Mountain County.
No one thought of that at the beginning.
But when they saw the forces sent by Sun Star Region and Luo Yun County, they couldn’t slack off. They hurriedly dispatched their sect’s high-level powers to ensure that no accidents or surprises befell their geniuses when they came out of the Secret Realm.
The same was true for the Yuanshan Sect. They were guarding the exit of the Secret Realm, so when Yang Chen and the Yuanshan Sect disciples came out, Mu Bai Sheng and several Supreme Elders gathered together and quickly shouted, “Wu Ming!”
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming turned to look at them. He wasn’t stupid and hurriedly led the many disciples of the Yuanshan Sect over.
“Uncle Master!”
“Master!”
Wu Ming greeted them as he returned.
Mu Bai Sheng glanced around and couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Yang Chen?”
“Sect Leader, I’m here.” Yang Chen undid his disguise and stood out from the crowd.
“Yang Chen, it seems you’re alright. Haha, it’s good that you’re fine. Oh, I can see that you’ve made progress in your Martial Arts Cultivation, reaching Half-step Yuan Martial Realm! Good, good.” Mu Bai Sheng observed very carefully and was naturally overjoyed to see Yang Chen’s progress in his Martial Arts Cultivation.
