Chapter 1287: Chapter 1284: A Talent at First Sight_1 Chapter 1287: Chapter 1284: A Talent at First Sight_1 “Of course, when you kill the Dao Slave, you must also ensure your own safety. The area near the Door to Dao Verification is much larger than you can imagine. Now that it’s time to clear it, various forces are likely to intervene, and entering into conflicts is inevitable. At that time, our Northern Territory Sect’s Four Peaks must maintain unity and cooperate against external forces. While ensuring our own safety, the more Key Fragments we can obtain, the better.” Jin Shi Great Emperor said with his hands behind his back.

Hua Wu Great Emperor followed up, “Jin Shi makes a good point. The Sect Leaders and Jin Shi have said what needed to be said. Next, this Emperor wants to say a few words. The strength of the Dao Slaves varies, and you will find out the specifics once you’re inside. Do not underestimate the power of the Dao Slaves. That’s all this Emperor has to say.”

After he finished speaking, He Tan nodded, “Alright, you must remember what the three of us have said. This is the most important task we’ve given you in decades. You’re not children anymore; you know the pros and cons.”

“Sect Leader, it’s about time,” Jin Shi said.

“In that case, let’s set off,” He Tan nodded slowly.

And so, the Northern Territory Sect set off in a grand procession. Yang Chen followed the team, and the journey was neither too long nor too short.

It took twelve days for the team to stop.

The place where they stopped was in front of a vast mountain range, which lay curled like a huge dragon, covered in mist. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was going on inside the mountain range.

Yang Chen was curious about the mountain range’s scenery, but since he couldn’t see anything specific, he lost interest. Instead, he turned his gaze to several forces that had already arrived in front of the mountain range.

The Northern Territory Sect wasn’t the first to arrive. Yang Chen noticed that Ling Nvzong, Zhen Mountain Sect, and Ocean Division Sect had all arrived. Their Northern Territory Sect was actually the last to come.

“Northern Territory Sect, you’re too slow,” said a deep voice from Zhen Mountain Sect. The speaker was a burly man with a tall figure and a short blade strapped to his back, radiating a fierce aura.

Most importantly, this man seemed to be the leader of Zhen Mountain Sect, and when he spoke, the sect members all listened respectfully, with no objections.

“Who is he?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

“That’s the Sect Leader of Zhen Mountain Sect, named Zhang Chihe, also known as Emperor Yuan Shan. His strength is comparable to our Sect Leader, and they both came from the same era. They have fought each other many times in the past, so Emperor Yuan Shan and our Sect Leader don’t get along. That’s also why our Northern Territory Sect has little interaction with Zhen Mountain Sect,” Wang Tong explained.

“But this time the Four Sects have an alliance, so Zhen Mountain Sect shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?” Zhu Kai added.

As they discussed, He Tan led the team to land from the air, facing Emperor Yuan Shan’s question, He Tan calmly replied, “Although we arrived a little late, the Royal Family and the two Demonic Beast Sects haven’t arrived yet. Even if we arrived earlier, it wouldn’t make any difference!”

Just as he said, Emperor Yuan Shan didn’t seem to have any intention of causing trouble. Hearing He Tan’s words, he snorted and immediately shifted his gaze to Ling Nvzong.

“I say, Hua Zongzhu, your Supreme Scripture should have been completed by now. You’re clearly the best at calculations, so why wait for the Royal Family and the two Demonic Beast Sects to arrive? Why not just go in now?” Emperor Yuan Shan was a hot-tempered person and immediately asked Ling Nvzong.

Hua Wanru was sitting cross-legged on a jade ball, and even when the Northern Territory Sect arrived, she didn’t even glance at them. When Emperor Yuan Shan asked her a question, she couldn’t avoid it, so she simply replied calmly, “Years ago, a great battle took place in this Pingyang Mountain Range, and I believe Brother Yuan Shan should still remember the details. That battle was caused by uneven distribution. If we go in first and the other forces find out, another great battle will likely ensue. Do you really think our Four Sects can gain any benefits from that?”

“This Hua Zongzhu is one of the most outstanding talents in the Central Capital area in recent years. It’s said that she reached the Spirit Plate Stage in just 300 years and then refined her Cultivation Level even further. Even our Sect Leader is somewhat wary of her. Rumor has it that she was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Proof Hall. Unfortunately, she was still inferior to the Eternal Empress back then, and her Dao Verification ultimately failed,” Zhu Kai explained to Yang Chen, thinking he wasn’t aware.

Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, but his thoughts were more focused on the woman named Hua Wanru.

It had been so many years.

So many years!

He finally saw the face and figure that he hated to the bone again. Seeing her made Yang Chen’s teeth gritted and his fists clenched.

Hua Wanru, Hua Wanru. The three characters lingered in his mind as he recalled the scene of Hua Wanru betraying him in the past. He would never forget that moment.

However, he calmed down quickly.

He had already faced his Heart Demons head-on, so even if he faced Hua Wanru again, he could remain calm. With his current strength, he was far from being Hua Wanru’s opponent, and there was no need for him to negotiate with her now.

But just as Yang Chen was about to look away, Hua Wanru seemed to sense something and suddenly fixed her eyes on him!

This look made Yang Chen frown immediately.

As Hua Wanru looked at him, there was a barely noticeable shock in her eyes. However, she skillfully concealed it, making it difficult for anyone to detect anything.

The two stared at each other, not knowing how much time had passed.

In an instant, Yang Chen understood. He could see that Hua Wanru probably guessed his identity just by this stare. For a Cultivation Master, any possible clue would not be overlooked.

Perhaps she started to calculate his fate through the Supreme Scripture the moment his reputation spread to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties. That would explain why she caught Mei Xiuying in the first place.

“Hua Zongzhu, what is this…” He Tan’s expression turned unfriendly as he watched Hua Wanru staring intently at Yang Chen.

He still remembered Yang Chen once mentioned that he had some grievances with Ling Nvzong. Now it seemed that Yang Chen had somehow offended someone important.

Hua Wanru didn’t say anything.

The quieter she was, the more uneasy everyone felt.

Only after a long while did she raise her eyebrows slightly, her expression still as calm as ever. She simply answered He Tan’s question, “Nothing. I’ve heard that your Northern Territory Sect has produced an Imperial Scion named Yang Chen. Today, I can see that he’s truly an outstanding talent. It was not an exaggeration.”
