Once the elders heard what Tang Changsheng might be planning, none of them dared take the matter lightly.
And so Sect Leader Chen came in person to welcome him, accompanied by a large group of elders.
Tang Changsheng did not dare put on airs. Being called someone who let success go to his head was hardly a good reputation to have.
"Greetings, Sect Leader, and greetings to the elders!" Tang Changsheng bowed from afar.
Sect Leader Chen smiled. "I hear Cloudtail Mountain has been bustling lately. Why aren't you there instead of coming here?"
It seemed everyone knew about Tang Changsheng's predicament, so he saw no reason to hide it. "Sect Leader, I came to ask my old family for help!"
"Oh?" Sect Leader Chen's expression shifted slightly. He exchanged glances with several elders. Could Tang Changsheng truly be unable to hold on any longer? Had he come to the Order for aid?
Tang Changsheng had been making waves all along, recruiting experts wherever he went, yet he had never asked the Order for help.
Sect Leader Chen and the others had thought Tang Changsheng was determined to stand on his own. They had not expected him to seek help now.
Sect Leader Chen softened his tone. "Have you thought this through?"
Once the Order supported Tang Changsheng, he would lose his neutral standing. His situation would become almost identical to Ying Tiecheng's!
That would certainly benefit the Home Sect, but in the long run, it would cost Tang Changsheng his role as a bridge between the Immortal Sects and the Heavenly Court...
For a moment, Sect Leader Chen's feelings were tangled. He honestly did not know whether he wanted Tang Changsheng to make the request!
Tang Changsheng smiled faintly and said with ease, "Of course I've thought it through.
