Chapter 671: Chapter 525: Disciples Breaking Through Defenses, Sect Master Shen Wishes Longevity to the Dragon Consort

Ban Shan Sect, Inner Sect.

Amidst the turbulence in the sky, a group of exhausted and injured cultivators from White Jade Capital continuously emerged,

among them even two were in a semi-comatose state, needing the support of others.

This was undoubtedly a manifestation of having gone through a fierce battle.

However, the elders who had stayed behind in the sect were somewhat astonished as they looked towards Yan Chongzhang at the very front.

Under Daozi’s leadership, the Ban Shan Sect could say it had deployed the majority of its powers to exterminate the Earthly Dark Python clan. Although their appearance was not pleasing, at least everyone had returned alive.

According to these Ban Shan Sect elders’ understanding of the strength of that clan of Ghost Pythons,

to achieve such a great victory, it was evident that several Daozi of Southern Hong must have exerted considerable effort.

But... what about the spoils?

Weren’t they supposed to capture the Earthly Dark Python’s young master alive? Could it be that the situation was too tense and they accidentally killed him?

With this thought, everyone’s heart suddenly sank.

Frightening the snake by hitting the grass, once the matter of the Ban Shan Sect raising a hand against the Ghost Pythons spreads, the nearby demons would certainly become more vigilant. To accomplish the task given by the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, Ban Shan Sect might have to pay a heavier price.

Well, they could only take advantage of this opportunity to build relationships with this leading giant, it still wasn’t too bad a deal.

Just as they were thinking, everyone suddenly noticed the Great Elder’s face turning a livid color, clearly something was amiss.

"I don’t talk behind people’s backs, come with me, old man wants to accuse you to your face."

Yang Yunheng finally managed to hold back his rage as he returned to the sect, furiously sweeping his sleeves, grabbing Yan Chongzhang’s arm and rushing forward, his demeanor unlike an Immortal Sect elder, but more like a warrior of the jianghu.

"..."

Yan Chongzhang helplessly glanced at the old man, but did not struggle and directly followed the other towards the back of the mountain.

"Shall we go?" Bai Wu tentatively looked to the side.

Wei Yuanzhou, even if normally composed, now had a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He had never thought that coming to Western Hong to seek assistance would result in the Ban Shan Sect elders and Daozi not getting along.

If the matter of seeking assistance hadn’t received a definite response, he truly wanted to just walk away.

This situation was absolutely absurd.

Two people most devoted to the sect, actually quarreling with each other in front of outsiders over a cultivator they had only recently met.

If someone had to be blamed...it could only be because Sect Master Shen was too outstanding.

It was just unknown whether this excellence could receive the recognition of the master of Ban Shan Sect. If not, then Yan Daoyou, despite his reluctance to break his promises, might truly not have much say in the matter of assisting Southern Hong.

With this thought, Wei Yuanzhou somewhat helplessly looked towards the back of the mountain.

Behind the mountain by the clear spring.

An emaciated elder in linen robes was seated on the ground, as if already at his last breath, not a single energy radiating from his body, resembling a lifeless rock.

Behind him, Yang Yunheng incessantly detailed the earlier encounters, and when he became too exasperated, he couldn’t help but stamp his foot and glare, exclaiming: "How can you trivialize such a crucial matter of the sect! Daozi didn’t even discuss it with me!"

The Great Elder admitted that Shen the Younger was truly exceptional, and he himself quite admired him, but not to the extent of risking the survival of the entire sect for a gamble with this young man.

What on earth was Yan Chongzhang thinking? If he was so generous, then he might as well let someone else take the place of Daozi. Wouldn’t it be better for that Shen the Younger to take the position?

"What are you thinking, what are you planning?"

The master of Ban Shan Sect opened his eyes, looking as though a rock had suddenly come to life.

He did not turn his head, and his voice revealed no hint of emotion.

Even though the matter involved the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, this master of Ban Shan Sect was not flustered; he just wanted to know what incredible thing his own disciple had discovered to make such an absurd decision.

Frankly, having seen too many strange and mysterious events, he had become somewhat numb. His anticipation for the young cultivator from Southern Hong didn’t even match that of Yang Yunheng, the Great Elder.

The reason for his calm mindset was simply due to his trust in his disciple.

"Come on, you speak!" Yang Yunheng stepped back, folding his arms across his chest.

Yan Chongzhang did not argue with the old man, knowing his own actions were hard to understand. Any cultivator who cared for Ban Shan Sect would be furious.

Moreover, what he planned to do next would be even more absurd, to the point where everyone would think he had gone mad.

Yan Chongzhang took a deep breath, suddenly stepped back, bowed deeply, and raised his fists above his head: "I wish...to have Shen the Younger replace Chongzhang and become the Daozi of Ban Shan Sect."

"..."

This time, even the master of Ban Shan Sect stayed silent for a long while, he slowly turned his head around: "Shen the Younger? You don’t even know his name."

Gazing at Yan Chongzhang’s serious demeanor, the linen-robed elder took a deep breath: "And the reason?"

"Sigh."

Under the aghast stare of Yang Yunheng, Yan Chongzhang stood up straight, self-mockingly said: "That mountain is the foundation of our sect, but it belongs to Shen the Younger’s mountain, I really am afraid he will take Nameless Mountain away..."

The powerhouse at the Unity Realm Stage, who had incarnated as the spiritual landscape of the sect, should be as detached as the true heavens and earth. While Ban Shan Sect was somewhat different, preferring to style itself with the vigor of martial artists and thus having more human demeanor, it was still generally devoid of large emotional upswings.

However, upon hearing these words, the master of Ban Shan Sect lifted his hand and nearly couldn’t restrain himself from slapping him across the face.
