Chen Yang had seen the Palace Master of Penglai Palace before, back in Outrealm.
Though he had yet to learn what the man truly looked like, one thing was certain: this peak cultivator's bloodline must have deep ties to the Ancient Dragon Clan.
Chen Yang did not know what sort of man he had been in the past, but he knew very well that he had surely lost all interest in everything within the Canglan Continent.
Just like Qin Changsheng, who was now in seclusion and never emerged, nothing mattered to him anymore aside from stepping into the void and ascending to the heavens.
Even without anyone mentioning the conflict between Ninth Abyss Venerable and that Palace Master, Chen Yang had long sensed it from the scattered words exchanged between them.
Logically speaking, as the ancestor of the East Sea dragon-descended lineage, there should have been absolutely no issue with Ninth Abyss Venerable inheriting the position of Palace Master of Penglai Palace.
Whether cultivators within or outside the palace, none would have objected. After all, over the past two hundred years, the many affairs of Penglai Palace had all been managed single-handedly by him. He was already Penglai Palace's de facto manager and spokesman.
Yet just when everyone believed Ninth Abyss Venerable would naturally take the seat of Palace Master, the Palace Master, who had always ignored sect affairs, suddenly returned and announced a decision that left everyone astonished.
He directly named Hai Liu'er, a newly advanced Venerable who had only recently achieved Dongxuan, to succeed him as Palace Master.
