"Is that Chen Changan?"
"He really is a man with a few tricks up his sleeve."
"But... was the Overlord Sect really his doing alone?"
"Could he truly have that kind of ability all by himself?"
"He only broke through to the Throne Realm not long ago. He's only ascended to the throne once."
The Wu Family Head hadn't gotten involved. He watched what was happening around Chen Changan from afar, deeply wary of this Chen Changan who had suddenly appeared.
The Huantian Sect Master shared the Wu Family Head's thoughts. Neither of them had taken part; they had simply watched from the sidelines.
Hearing the Wu Family Head's words, the Huantian Sect Master knitted his brows. Regardless of whether Chen Changan had done it alone, the fact that he had done it at all made this troublesome.
It meant Chen Changan had the strength to wipe out the Overlord Sect—and therefore the strength to deal with them, too.
"I don't want to see an outsider grow stronger and stronger. I'm sure you don't either, do you?" the Huantian Sect Master said coldly.
"And what can we do about it?"
"The situation's already set. We're powerless," the Wu Family Head said helplessly.
"Look at those people fawning over him. Doesn't it make you ashamed?"
"Just because Chen Changan can refine pills and forge artifacts, do we have to wag our tails and beg an outsider? Can we still call ourselves people of the Eternal Land if we do?"
"Even if the Huantian Sect meets the same fate as the Overlord Sect, I absolutely won't let it grovel before an outsider."
The Huantian Sect Master was utterly uncompromising in his attitude toward outsiders. Though he knew full well what would happen if he opposed Chen Changan, he still refused to bow
