Chapter 563 - 231: Bombarding Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch, Jade Xuan Sky Elder Visits Dao Collection Again!_2

"When he retreated, he seemed to have sustained some injuries. I suspect he won’t make his way to the Lower Realm anytime soon."

Chen Chang’an spun a slight deception.

If they could keep Emperor Song’s true identity a secret, he hoped it could stay that way indefinitely. This would be a way of leaving himself a room for manoeuvre.

After all, it is only wise to reveal only a fraction insight about oneself and retain the majority of it. Relentless exposure is never a good thing.

"Ah, that’s fine. As long as you know what’s going on, Chang’an."

Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s statement, the hearts of Daoist Elder and the others seemed to simultaneously heave a sigh of relief.

Truth be told, they had been clueless about things from the start. If Chen Chang’an hadn’t taken care of the matter, they would’ve had no idea what to do.

After all, we’re talking about an Immortal Monarch here!

Just his mere breath could bring about the extinction of the Tianshui Sect several times over!

"Elder, if there’s nothing else, I should take my leave now." Seeing that the elders had no further queries, Chen Chang’an proposed his departure.

"Alright, Chang’an, you may go. We’ll take care of the rest here." The Daoist Elder nodded in agreement.

True, the matter of Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch heading back to the Lower Realm has passed, but the Sects who attended the assembly at the Tianshui Sect are still present. It wouldn’t be good if they were left feeling unattended due to this incident.

However, what the Daoist Elder didn’t realise was that his concerns were baseless.

Even if the Tianshui Sect had fallen short in its hospitality, nobody from the other sects would dare to voice their complaints. Not a single one!

After all, Chen Chang’an had survived the encounter with an Upper Realm Immortal Monarch and might’ve even inflicted some serious damage on his adversary!

Anyone who could fight an Immortal Monarch and live to tell the tale was certainly not someone to be messed with, regardless of how he managed to do it!

Remember, even the prime sects in the Wuxiang Realm, which comprise of ten saints, their highest source of Dao paths barely reaches the level of saint!

Even the saints are not on par with the Immortal Monarchs!

How could they dare to express any kind of disapproval then?

They wish they could win her favor at this point!

"Daoist friend, I sincerely apologise for departing earlier without a goodbye. I ask for your understanding."

"Daoist friend, we also..."

No sooner had Chen Chang’an left than the leaders of various forces, who had originally fled, appeared again in front of the Daoist Elder and the others, apologising sheepishly.

Seeing the apology from the crowd, the Daoist Elder just shook his head:

"Friends, there’s no need for apologies. One cannot blame you for the previous situation. In fact, I would have done the same in your shoes."

The elder’s words were no less than the truth; were he to face a similar situation outside, he definitely would have made the smart move and saved himself.

In this world, no one is obligated to anyone else; the only thing they can do is protect their sect.

However, despite his words, at that moment, the elder found his heart taken over by a sense of distinction.

Relations between gentlemen are as plain as water, more so between sects. However, even in such noble camaraderie, there are some alliances that are worth cherishing.

For example, the Daqian Imperial Dynasty and the Confucian Sect.

Yes, the Confucian Sect. When the Upper Realm Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch and the others attacked, people from the Confucian Sect stayed.

Furthermore, those who stayed were three great sages!

This really was a significant favour!

And so began a distinctively differential session of chitchat.

Seeing this situation, the people from various forces were indeed regretful, but they had no choice but to accept it.

After all, just like the situation when the Immortal Monarch attacked, their decision to leave was their choice. Likewise, the Tianshui sect’s decision to favour someone was their choice as well.

There is no right or wrong in this.

Yet, while these are the facts, everyone couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

After all, if they could garner the friendship of the Tianshui Sect at this moment, maybe their respective sects could stand on their own in the coming ages.

What a pity~!

Of course, this is just what people of the various sects thought. If they knew that Chen Chang’an was being pursued in the Immortal Realm, the scene would probably be quite different.

Ding dong~!

Time passed, and half a month had passed in a blink of an eye since the union of the Tianshui Sect and the Taiyi Sect.

Over the past half a month, the Tianshui Sect was pushed into the limelight due to Chen Chang’an’s return and his actions of slaying two Immortals from the Upper Realm and defeating an Immortal Monarch, which made Chen Chang’an the most talked-about person in the Wuxiang realm.

One day, in the Tianshui Sect, the bell on the main peak, the Tianshui Peak, kept ringing early in the morning.

Subsequently, a figure arrived at the Tianshui Sect.

"Is fellow Daoist Chen here, old man Yuxuanzi requests an audience."

It was Elder Yuxuan who came, followed by several Dao Masters from the Taiyi Sect.

They were all wearing masks and black-and-white robes, obviously people from the Night God Hall, it seems that Elder Yuxuan was visiting Chen Chang’an on behalf of the Night God Administration.

"Friend Yuxuan, please come in."

A moment later, a loud voice came from the mountain. The voice was distant but getting closer, as if it was coming from the depths of the stars, but also as if it was right in your ear.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Elder Yuxuan immediately bowed to the void.

Elder Yuxuan had met with Chen Chang’an several times, and he used to address him as ’little friend Chen’, but this time he used ’fellow Daoist’.

This recognition was not without reason, after Chen Chang’an slayed Jiemie and Qingtian, two Xuanyuan immortals from the Abyss Immortal Hall, and severely wounded Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch, he had undoubtedly become the number one person in the Wuxiang Realm.

Yes, the number one person, even Dao Taixu and Yintianzi had to avoid him for now!

This was normal. Although Chen Chang’an’s defeat of Ancient Ling Immortal Monarch was done very secretly, Dao Taixu and Yintianzi were able to figure out the truth through other channels.

Defeating an Immortal Monarch was something they admitted they couldn’t do, at least not before they had advanced in the Wuxiang Realm!

So, although they did not want to admit it, they had to face a sad fact, that now Chen Chang’an was above them!

It’s really a sad fact!

Buzz buzz buzz~!

Mount Daozang, a moment later, there was a flicker in the void, and Elder Yuxuan’s figure appeared here.

"Elder Yuxuan’s visit truly brings glory to this place." Chen Chang’an looked at Elder Yuxuan and said.

"I don’t deserve such praise, I only came to bask in your glory, fellow Daoist." Elder Yuxuan quickly waved his hand.

Afterwards, Chen Chang’an invited Elder Yuxuan to sit down and had Lin Qingxue pour a pot of tea.

"Elder Yuxuan, what brings you here to see me?" After simply drinking some tea, Chen Chang’an got straight to the point.

"I can’t hide anything from you, fellow Daoist." Elder Yuxuan was a bit awkward:

"To let you know, now the Night God Hall’s three Heaven Eyes are missing one, I wonder if you’re interested in taking up the role of an Earth Eye?"

"The Hall Master has agreed to this, and we only need your approval."

"Earth Eye?" Chen Chang’an was somewhat curious upon hearing this.

"Yes, an Earth Eye." Elder Yuxuan nodded.

"The position of Earth Eye is extremely unique within our Night God Hall, it’s second in command. You don’t need to report to the Hall daily, you may do as you please on ordinary days."

"You only need to show up in the Hall from time to time."

"What do you think, are you interested in the position?"

Listening to Elder Yuxuan’s words, Chen Chang’an furrowed his brows.

He was pondering over the potential in this matter.

Undoubtedly, Elder Yuxuan’s invitation was very enticing.

After all, by becoming an Earth Eye, he could have all the Night Gods within the entire Wuxiang Realm at his command!

This was truly an irresistible offer!
