Central Province Speculates, a New Mission

Lin Yuan was somewhat frustrated at this moment.

He had painstakingly Dragon-Seeking Sect for so many years, and finally outlived the eighth sect leader. But while he was in seclusion, the old sect leader wanted to pass on the position to an unknown young man.

Out of resentment.

Lin Yuan then ordered his disciple Lin Yao to eliminate him.

In any case, the old sect leader is dead, and with that kid gone, the Dragon-Seeking Sect is leaderless. Whether it's supporting someone new or letting him temporarily take over, it's the best outcome.

However, Lin Yao failed.

Chen Ning not only survived, but also managed to persuade the Sword Immortal to come to his aid.

A Sword Immortal is lurking in the shadows.

Even Lin Yuan could no longer act rashly.

It wasn't that they were afraid of the Sword Immortal Li Changtian.

Rather, he was worried that the Sword Immortal, with his discerning eye, might be able to discern his origins.

Lin Yuan comes from Central Province.

The deepest secret Dragon-Seeking Sect.

He came here for only one purpose.

That is the secret treasure.

But over the years, there has been no opportunity to find one.

The position of sect leader is always chosen by the previous sect leader.

As for the final dialogue between the old and new sect leaders...

There is no way of knowing.

However, not eliminating Chen Ning is not necessarily a bad thing.

In the days that followed, Lin Yuan gradually came to understand.

Perhaps that final conversation was the key to everything.

So.

He was no longer in a hurry to get rid of Chen Ning.

By waiting for the right opportunity and finding the new sect leader's weakness, they might be able to discover the whereabouts of the secret treasure.

The original intention was to give Chen Ning a warning.

But at that moment, he himself was stunned by Chen Ning's words.

Such confidence must mean that the new sect leader has mastered a secret treasure.

In this way.

There's no rush.

Take it one step at a time.

Lin Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he looked at Chen Ning. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I also hope that the sect leader has something truly to rely on, rather than just speaking rashly. Don't let the entire sect be dragged down with you."

"Elder, please rest assured, everything will be alright at the Dragon-Seeking Sect. I will also make sure you are sent off first, so you can rest in peace."

Chen Ning said earnestly.

Lin Yuan's face darkened again.

This new sect leader is indeed skilled with words.

I didn't get the benefit this time, so I'll just have to try again next time.

However, since he has already emerged from seclusion...

Opportunities will be plentiful.

One day we will find out where the treasure is.

Final.

Lin Yuan silently left the council hall.

He lost the first round.

Chen Ning watched Lin Yuan's retreating figure.

He gave a knowing smile, as if saying, "There's plenty of time ahead."

He was never a magnanimous person.

The Supreme Elder had always harbored murderous intent towards him, but for some unknown reason, he had not yet acted upon it.

Such an old man who always wants to cause trouble.

Chen Ning was still happy to bury him.

The timing isn't right yet.

Chen Ning is not yet confident in dealing with a Heaven Martial Realm expert.

Moreover, that old devil Lin Yuan has been in seclusion for so many years, who knows what level his cultivation has reached now?

Although the Supreme Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation could easily kill him.

But this trump card is prepared for any powerful figure from Central Province who might come seeking revenge.

Using it on Lin Yuan would be a bit of an overkill.

Speaking of which...

There's still no movement from Central Province, which seems rather strange.

Chen Ning had some doubts.

Logically speaking...

Even if this wave doesn't involve a coordinated attack, the Asura Divine Sect certainly won't let it go easily.

But in the last few days...

But it was all too calm.

The situation in Central Province these past few days has not been as calm as it appears on the surface.

Especially after a message is released.

This plunged the entire Central Province into speculation.

Inside an old tavern.

Several figures huddled together, discussing amongst themselves.

"Have you heard that the Asura Divine Sect has let bygones be bygones?"

"That's impossible! The Asura Divine Son is dead, the future pillar has been cut off, how can they not investigate?"

"It is said that the Divine Lord of the Asura Divine Sect personally instructed the Divine Sect not to pursue the matter."

The man said mysteriously, "Being able to obtain firsthand information about the Asura Divine Sect is something to be proud of."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

They were all Rogue Cultivator.

However, in places like Central Province, where resources are scarce and manpower are limited, cultivation is extremely difficult, which is why some alliances were formed.

The Rogue Cultivator could look out for each other.

In their spare time, they can also better gather information about various things in Central Province.

"After the Asura Divine Sect let bygones be bygones, some people immediately speculated that Chen Ning was actually the illegitimate son of the Asura Divine Lord, which is why the matter was easily overlooked."

"You're wrong. If you ask me, it's because the Asura Divine Son cheated on the Divine Lord, so they used outsiders to get rid of him. Otherwise, why would they let it go? The one who died was the future successor to the Divine Lord!"

Several Rogue Cultivator, their imaginations running wild, began to speak eloquently.

Although public opinion has gone astray.

However, the impact was still enormous.

After this news about the Asura Divine Sect spread.

None of the major powers dared to make any further moves.

The War Academy, the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult, and the Demon Battle Saint Sect all ceased operations.

They all stopped what they were doing.

Compared to the talent of the Asura Divine Son, the prodigies of their respective factions seem insignificant.

But now even the Asura Divine Sect treats it with utmost care.

How could they not have wild thoughts?

This level of power has far-reaching consequences; a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

One must be extremely cautious in one's actions.

To them, the Asura Divine Sect's unusual behavior was a signal.

Or perhaps there's some threat from the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

Or there must be something secretive going on.

Asura Divine Sect doesn't bother with the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

They could only continue to wait and see.

The loss of the sect's most outstanding talents was a great loss.

But it's not like it can't be cultivated?

Given time, it is still possible to cultivate new prodigies.

But if there really are any taboos involved, why would they deliberately invite trouble upon themselves?

Then.

Spirit Province remained calm and peaceful.

Feeling bored, Chen Ning began to study the system.

He urgently needs the system's help to gain power and rewards.

Beset by internal and external troubles.

Chen Ning was more eager to become stronger than ever before.

Although he was already strong enough.

His cultivation speed over the past year has been equivalent to several lifetimes for most people.

"The first stage of the main quest can't be completed yet, so I don't know if it will take up quest slots."

Chen Ning gave a wry smile.

Completing tasks and earning rewards is the fastest way to level up.

However, the first stage of the main quest cannot be completed in Central Province yet. Those enemies are not coming, and it would be too foolish to go and walk into their trap.

At this moment.

A fragrant aroma wafted over.

Chen Ning then knew that Xiao Mei had arrived.

"Sect Leader, Mei'er has come to fetch the wine."

Xiao Mei, dressed in a purple dress, smiled radiantly as she swayed her hips as she entered the courtyard.

Ever since the two spent a romantic night together and he helped the sect leader resolve the insect infestation in Spirit Province, Xiao Mei's thoughts have often drifted to Chen Ning.

In the past, it was always the officers from the Law Enforcement Hall who came to collect the wine.

Recently, Xiao Mei came in person.

As Xiao Mei's alluring figure came into view.

Near my ear.

Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant system notification sound rang out.

Chen Ning was secretly delighted.

We've finally waited for this!
