Chapter 187
“Thank you very much for your help, everyone!” The Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect bowed to Jiang Chen and the others, expressing his sincere gratitude.
If it weren’t for the help of the Primordial Holy Land, the situation of the Supreme Dao Sect would have been unimaginable. There would only be one way out, which is to fight to the death with the Star Sea.
As for handing over Zi Qingyan, that was impossible. Zi Qingyan’s talent was extraordinary; she was the hope of the Supreme Dao Sect, and they couldn’t hand her over.
Therefore, there was only one way out, which was to fight to the death with the Forbidden Zone, to the point of no return and see which side could stand the longest.
Fortunately, the Primordial Holy Land intervened, avoiding such a choice!
“Qingyan greets the Holy Son and all the seniors!” Zi Qingyan, with a cool demeanor, bowed to everyone.
She also knew clearly that without these people, the situation of the Supreme Dao Sect would have been unimaginable!
“No need to be so formal!” Jiang Chen smiled lightly, carefully observing Zi Qingyan.
To say nothing else, she was indeed beautiful, with a unique charm. Similar to Mu Jianxue, but different as Mu Jianxue that was like a cold and pure figure from the snowy mountains, immaculate and flawless.
Zi Qingyan was transcendent and otherworldly, cold and ethereal, not like someone from this world. She fit the description of a celestial saintess perfectly.
Of course, each had their unique qualities, with no flaws to be found.
“Holy Son, when will you take Qingyan away?” The Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect looked at Jiang Chen and asked softly.
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone looked at the Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect strangely.
This Sect Master seemed a bit impatient. Why did it seem like he couldn’t wait to send Zi Qingyan away?
Zi Qingyan was also somewhat helpless, her expression remained calm, without any hint of shyness.
Sensing everyone’s gaze, the Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect, still composed, said helplessly, “You have saved Qingyan several times. I believe you are well aware that the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain has long coveted Qingyan.”
“I even suspect that the envoys from the Forbidden Zone this time are mostly instructed by the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“The Supreme Dao Sect is not like the Primordial Holy Land; we cannot compete with the Forbidden Zone! If Qingyan stays in the Supreme Dao Sect, not to mention the sect, even her own safety will be severely compromised!”
“If Qingyan is captured and the seal of the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain is broken, it will not only threaten the Supreme Dao Sect but the entire Nine Heavens Realm will be in great danger!”
He wasn’t in a hurry to send Zi Qingyan away. If possible, he would rather have Zi Qingyan stay in the Supreme Dao Sect. But he was worried that the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain or the Forbidden Zone would come again, causing unforeseen changes.
So he urgently wanted Zi Qingyan to leave; perhaps staying in the Primordial Holy Land would be the safest place for her. It could even be said to be the safest place in the entire Nine Heavens Realm.
“This is not a problem. The Ancient Desolate Demon Domain and the Forbidden Zone won’t do anything for now!”
“When the time comes, Fairy Qingyan can return to the Holy Land with us!” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh; this Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect seemed a bit too anxious. Was he scared out of his wits?
It shouldn’t be like this right? The Supreme Dao Sect had always cultivated the Dao with a resilient heart.
“But Supreme Dao Sect Master, aren’t you afraid that sending Fairy Qingyan to our Holy Land is like sending a lamb into a tiger’s mouth?”
The Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect being so anxious surprised Jiang Chen a little. Although the proposal had been made by the other party before. But weren’t they worried at all? What if they also coveted Zi Qingyan’s talent?
“Why should I be afraid? Besides, we have no choice!” The Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect was calm, and said lightly, “Moreover, I believe in the character of the Holy Son and the conduct of the Primordial Holy Land; you would never do such a thing. Besides, letting Qingyan become your Dao companion? Would the Holy Son not be satisfied?”
Before, he was afraid that the Primordial Holy Land wouldn’t accept. After all, there was nothing that could tempt the Primordial Holy Land.
Be it resources or divine weapons. The Primordial Holy Land lacked nothing. Offering such things to them might not make them agree. After all, Zi Qingyan was now considered a ticking time bomb.
After thinking it over, he still felt that sending Zi Qingyan as a Dao companion might make them more interested.
Zi Qingyan’s talent was there, and if the Primordial Holy Land was willing to cultivate her, she could become a top-tier powerhouse in the future. She might even have the potential to become an emperor.
“I don’t mind, but I wonder if Fairy Qingyan has any objections!” Jiang Chen smiled lightly, glancing at Zi Qingyan.
He understood her character; calm and unruffled, it was hard to make her react. Even so, she was extremely resilient inside.
“I have no objections!” Zi Qingyan’s eyes were clear, without any impurities.
“Forget about a Dao companion, let her become a follower like Ruyu! This way, Fairy Qingyan’s reputation will be preserved!” Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Although Zi Qingyan was very beautiful, it wasn’t enough to make Jiang Chen lose his reason. After all, he was surrounded by countless stunning women every day and was already used to it.
Besides, Yan Ruyu was just a follower. There was no need to let a stranger overshadow Yan Ruyu. Even if others were willing, Jiang Chen was not.
Of course, if the other party was unwilling, then forget it. The status of a follower was ultimately inferior to that of a Dao companion!
The Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect’s face changed slightly, obviously not wanting Zi Qingyan to become a follower. Such a status, if spread, wouldn’t sound good.
“I am willing!” Zi Qingyan’s gaze was clear, without any impurities, her tone flat, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
For someone like her, who was wholeheartedly seeking the Dao. Whether a follower or a Dao companion. It didn’t really matter, just a change of place to comprehend the Dao.
The Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect opened his mouth slightly, then shook his head helplessly and decided not to interfere anymore. Since Zi Qingyan had said so, he couldn’t intervene. Besides, he was the one asking for help, not the other way around.
Afterward.
Without further delay, they left with Zi Qingyan.
Watching them leave the Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect sighed slightly, and said helplessly, “I don’t know if what I did today is right or wrong! Hopefully, it’s right!”
If there were another way, he wouldn’t want Zi Qingyan to lower herself to others. However, there was no choice and this was already the best way. If he didn’t do this, the situation of the Supreme Dao Sect and Zi Qingyan would be hard to predict.
Thinking of these the Sect Master of the Supreme Dao Sect felt a sense of powerlessness. What difference does it make to be the sect master of an immortal force. He was still just like an ordinary people who’s always facing situations where one feels powerless.
No matter how high your cultivation, no matter how great your power, there is always someone stronger than you.
