CapĂtulo 1295: Chapter 647: Piercing the Heavens! (Part 2)
âDaoist, what do you think?â
âAlright, then according to your opinion, I shall support you at the critical moment. If thereâs any danger, you can definitely send a message to me.â After weighing his options, Daoist Ling Xu agreed that the plan was feasible.
The sooner itâs out, the sooner we can be at ease.
âAlright, let it be so.â
âMmâŠ.â
Daoist Ling Xu sighed softly:
âAt that time, Iâll have to trouble three fellow Daoists.â
âThree?â
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Chen Yuanâs expression, Daoist Ling Xu frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease, and said:
âThe reason Iâm willing to give up the Demon God Flower is the hope that three True Monarchs of the Taoist Divine Palace will come out together; only then do we have a chance of victory. Daoist Lin Mo, do you have any other plans?â
âThis time coming to Shushan, itâs only Jiang He and me. The Asura Daoist Master is currently not in the Central Plains,â Chen Yuan said thoughtfully.
âWhat?â
Daoist Ling Xu was taken aback. His willingness to give up the Demon God Flower was because of the high regard for that Asura Demon Lord, who was ranked in the top five of the Supreme Heaven List and whose battle in the Divine Capitalâs Imperial City had shocked the world.
Only a supreme expert can have decisive power, and relying solely on two ordinary True Monarchs will not significantly increase Shushanâs strength.
âSending a message to invite the Asura Daoist should still be in time.â
Daoist Ling Xu looked hopefully at Chen Yuan.
But Chen Yuan could only smile wryly inside; the Asura Demon Lord was actually his alter egoâno, more accurately, it was the alter ego of both him and Senior Moluo! Without Moluoâs possession, he couldnât reach the peak Yang God Realm strength.
And Moluo was still in slumber, with no sign of awakening. Naturally, Chen Yuan wouldnât disturb his cultivation at this critical juncture, so he said, âAsura Daoist has been in seclusion overseas for many days, and even if we send a message, it would be too late.â
âIf thatâs the caseâŠ. I cannot agree to Daoist Lin Moâs terms,â Ling Xu only valued the Asura Demon Lord. Although Chen Yuan and Jiang He had the power to place in the top thirty of the Supreme List, it wasnât enough to justify giving the Demon God Flower.
Chen Yuanâs gaze flickered; he was determined to get the Demon God Flower, and his only current option was to make a move from Shushan. With the demon clans set to attack, it might soon be too late.
He wouldnât stand idly by and let him fight for the Demon God Flower.
Seeing Chen Yuan deep in thought, Daoist Ling Xu knew he had another card to play, so he didnât disturb him and instead waited silently for Chen Yuanâs response.
âWhat if I could invite a True Monarch ranked in the top ten of the Supreme List?â
âThisâŠ.â
Now Ling Xu hesitated as well.
âAs long as I get the Demon God Flower, Iâll be able to further enhance my physical strength in a short time. It might be difficult to match a peerless True Monarch, but aiming for the top twenty or even the top fifteen is still hopeful.â
Chen Yuan increased his stakes directly.
âItâs unbelievable that the Taoist Divine Palace has four True Monarchs,â Daoist Ling Xu took a deep breath. Even among the ten great Immortal Sects, only Western Regionsâ Spirit Mountain had four True Monarchs openly listed.
The other Immortal Sects have at most two or three, even such as the declining Goddess Palace, with only the Palace Master being active.
âThe helper Iâm inviting is not the Daoist Master of the Taoist Divine Palace. Daoist, what do you think?â
âPossible, but who exactly is the helper Daoist Lin Mo is referring to, and are they truly willing to assist Shushan?â Daoist Ling Xu curiously looked at Chen Yuan and asked.
Chen Yuan then took out a jade talisman emitting a white glow.
This was something that Daoist Tianxu of Taixu Palace had placed on him when leaving the Capital, intended as a trump card, though he never found an opportunity to use it.
He even avoided contact with the Biyou Palace, planning to use this favor after uniting Shuzhou to have Biyou Palace help eliminate Prince Zhen Nan and annex South State.
But now, for the Demon God Flower, he had no choice but to use it.
Chen Huaiyi from the Seven Killings Hall could also be utilized, but the mark on him was too obvious, and it would reveal his true identity as the Chu Jiang King, who appeared before.
And he was an essential step for Chen Yuanâs future plans to deal with the Seven Killings Hall and annex Blood State.
After comparing, he decided to use this jade talisman. If Biyou Palace was unwilling, he would take the risk to invite Chen Huaiyi to Shuzhou.
If he didnât show sincerity, Ling Xu, that old Daoist, would surely not let him take the Demon God Flower in advance.
âThis isâŠ. a token from Biyou Palace?â
Being the Sect Leader of Shushan, Daoist Ling Xu had naturally seen the neighboring Biyou Palaceâs token before but never expected Chen Yuanâs connections to be so extensive, even tying with Biyou PalaceâŠ.
Adding the Taoist Divine Palace and Biyou Palace, along with Chen Yuanâs current power and renown, it seemed there really was a chance to seize the opportunity and dominate the Central Plains in the future.
âThe person Iâm inviting is ranked eleventh on the Heavenly List, the True Monarch Sect Leader⊠Zhao Danqing of Biyou Palace!â
Chen Yuan declared solemnly.
One reason he took out this jade talisman was also to implicitly express his connection with Biyou Palace, which might prove immensely beneficial in drawing Shushan in the future.
âAlright, if Sect Leader Zhao steps in, I can agree to your conditions.â
Zhao Danqing wasnât listed in the top ten of the Supreme List and significantly lagged behind the top five Asura True Monarch. But that was only on the surface. Zhao Danqing hadnât been listed in the top ten only because heâd only fought once after reaching the Yang God Realm and hadnât taken any action for over a century since.
Yet, he remained ranked eleventh on the Supreme List, making it clear his strength was undoubtedly capable of ranking among the top ten.
