Chapter 382: Carrot Stick
In addition, Ning Tianxuan and the White Tiger Star Lord's attitude was also quite ambiguous, they didn't say to rob, and they didn't say they wouldn't rob, anyway, they helped Ye Chen in the end, allowing Ye Chen to escape from those strong people. If they came to the Dragon Sect with Old Chen, it would be impossible for Ye Chen to turn them away.
"Yes!" everyone hurriedly responded.
Ye Chen asked them to disperse, and each returned to his own hall of elders, he also took Shan Candle back to the Sect Master Hall with Luo Qianyan, found the room that Han Meng used to cultivate before, and instructed Shan Candle and Yin Hu to protect the Dharma, and sat down cross-legged facing the wall, he really wanted to think about it while facing the wall, and always watch the movements of the Sect Protector Array!
At noon, Elder Chen finally came out of the Dragon Soul Mountain Range, shouting Ye Chen outside the big array, and in addition to the somewhat embarrassed elders of the Star Academy, he was also followed by the White Tiger Star Lord and the three Heavenly Star Pavilion elders, Ning Tianxuan and the five Baiwei Sect elders, as well as Yu Linglong and her two maids and three Sanqing Palace elders.
Ye Chen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the people of the Dragon Sect to open a gap in the big array, and he took the elders of the Dragon Sect to greet him in person.
"Old Chen, are you all right?" As soon as he came in, Ye Chen hurriedly asked for concern after ordering to close the big array again.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Elder Yu has been slightly injured. Chen Lao said, "Although there are many of them, we just entangle them, and we can't hurt us while fighting." ”
"That's good, that's good. Uncle Bai, quickly arrange for the palace to rest for the senior elders, Elder Han, you go and order to prepare a table of good wine and food!" Ye Chen hurriedly ordered, while respectfully inviting everyone to the idle hall used for entertaining guests with the Baiyi Hou and the others, and let the subordinates wait for them to change clothes and bathe.
By the time they had packed up, the food and wine were almost ready. Ye Chen personally accompanied, feasted and drank with everyone, and thanked everyone sincerely. Old Chen didn't say anything, they should drink and drink, they should eat, and after the banquet, they didn't mention the matter of leaving, and stayed directly in the Dragon Sect.
Ye Chen was both happy and worried in his heart, and he was happy that Ning Tianxuan's three True Saint Realm powerhouses did this, which meant that they would at least help Ye Chen get through this difficulty first, no matter how much they contributed, at least they would not stand idly by. I am worried that after getting through this difficulty, I don't know how Ning Tianxuan and them, even including Elder Chen, will deal with themselves, and whether they will snatch Long Yu when the time comes.
Chen Lao didn't know if he saw Ye Chen's thoughts or what, after the banquet was dispersed, he deliberately asked Ye Chen to wait to go to his room, saying that he had something to say to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen went to the room arranged for Chen Lao by the Baiyi Hou with apprehension, only to see Chen Lao sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, making tea leisurely, obviously waiting for Ye Chen.
"Old Chen. Ye Chen knocked on the door and didn't dare to enter easily.
"Come in, the door is open, why knock. Old Chen raised his head and glanced at Ye Chen, and as he spoke, he slowly warmed a cup and poured tea.
Ye Chen was stunned at first, and then he went in, and stood beside the cloud bed with his hands tied, waiting for Old Chen to speak.
"You're now the head of a sect, so you don't have to be so polite to me. Old Chen squinted his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Sit." ”
Ye Chen sat down opposite Chen Lao, Chen Lao personally put the cup of tea in front of Ye Chen, and then added another cup to himself.
After doing all this, Chen Laocai looked at Ye Chen and said, "There are no outsiders here, I won't be polite to you, can I call you Xiao Chen?"
"If Elder Chen doesn't dislike it, of course he can. Ye Chen hurriedly said.
For Chen Lao, Ye Chen also has a special feeling in it. At the beginning, he was in a deadlock in the Ye family, but it was Chen Lao who appeared in time and invited him to enter the Star Academy, which made Ye Chen's status in the Ye family leap up, and later became the head of the Ye family.
In Xingchen Academy, Chen Lao also took care of Ye Chen in every way, and also took Luo Tianyan, who was highly poisonous in his body at that time, with him, and later accepted him as a disciple.
So for Ye Chen, Old Chen's status in his heart was even equivalent to that of Master!
"Then I'll call you Xiao Chen. Old Chen nodded with a smile, "Xiao Chen, how long have you been joining the Star Academy?"
"It's been three or four years. Ye Chen thought about it and said, in fact, he couldn't remember it clearly, after all, he hadn't been in the Star Academy most of the time.
"It's been a few days. Elder Chen nodded, "But for cultivators, three or four years is just a flick of a finger." Among the disciples in the same batch as you at the beginning, the best talent is now only cultivated in the Qi Sea Realm, and the ones in your previous batch, those with better talents, can reach the Condensing Realm, and the highest talent is similar to the girl with a falling face. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Lao paused, took a sip of the cup, and then continued: "However, you are a variable, and you can even be said to be an anomaly. In three or four years, the cultivation has actually reached the triple level of the Transformation God Realm! This Condensing Realm to the Transformation God Realm is a huge threshold, and the difficulty is much higher than that of the Qi Sea Realm to the Condensing God Realm, and even some people can't cross this threshold even after spending their entire lives!"
"The disciple is just lucky. Ye Chen hurriedly said.
"Luck, luck is also part of strength. Elder Chen waved his hand disapplausively, "Xingchen Academy is different from other sects, at best, it can only be regarded as a place for teaching and educating people. Generally speaking, when the cultivator reaches the contemplation realm, he can already leave the academy, or go home separately to develop the ancestral foundation, or stay in the academy and become a teacher. There is a student who wants to continue to be a student, but Xingchen Academy also accepts it and guides him to cultivate. ”
"However, those who have cultivated to the realm of transforming into gods can no longer be students, but they are also those two paths, either to be a teacher, or to go home separately. If you choose the former, it is equivalent to joining the Star Academy, and you will be a member of the Star Academy for the rest of your life, and if you choose the latter, you will have nothing to do with the Star Academy. After Chen Lao finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen's heart had already been pinched, and the meaning of Old Chen's words was obvious, he was letting him choose. Either join the Star Academy and become a teacher or even an elder of the Star Academy, or graduate from the Star Academy and leave, and no longer be a disciple of the Star Academy, and have nothing to do with the Star Academy.
If it were the previous one, Ye Chen would undoubtedly choose the second one, his ambition was far from being satisfied by a Star Academy, not to mention, he had to rescue his father and avenge his father!
The Heavenless Realm is also a second-rate force no matter what, I'm afraid it's not much different from the Hanhai Palace, and Ye Chen alone will definitely not be able to compete with it. If Ye Chen joined the Star Academy, the Star Academy would probably not attack the Heavenless Realm for him and make a feud with the Heavenless Realm. Therefore, Ye Chen could only choose the second path.
But why do you want him to choose now! Now Ye Chen has a heavy treasure, and he has been targeted by the masters of the major forces, and Xingchen Academy is his only life-saving straw!
"Since you have already started a sect and become the head of a sect, I think you will definitely not choose the first path. Seeing that Ye Chen didn't speak, Old Chen continued, "After I go back, I will remove your name from the academy's list of disciples." ”
"Old ...... Chen" Ye Chen opened his mouth full of bitterness, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Old Chen waved his hand and motioned to Ye Chen without saying anything: "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, as long as your name is still on that roster for a day, you will still be a disciple of my Star Academy for a day, and those who want to snatch the treasure in your hand, I will naturally not let you." ”
Ye Chen was moved and delighted, hurriedly got up and sang a big promise, and said solemnly: "Old Chen, the disciple has nothing to repay, even if there is any need in the future, even if the disciple is incompetent, he will definitely do his best, and he will not hesitate to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire!"
"Okay, well, with your words, it's not in vain for me to work hard!" Chen Lao nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Among the strong people who came this morning, there are the nine major sects and the like, such as the blind old woman of the Demon Cloud Sect, the ancestor of the Naning family of the Baiwei Sect, the white tiger star lord of the Tianxing Pavilion, the likes of the Hanhai Palace, such as the white-robed old man in Simao Mountain, the reckless man holding an iron rod in the Huangyun Cave, the black-robed evil ghost in the Xudu Palace, and some forces that you don't know about, such as the Eastern Demon Emperor Dragon Emperor who fought with me in the Demon Emperor Sect, also called Long Taiyi, the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked boy under the Demon Emperor Sect's Naxi Demon Emperor. Chen Lao suddenly changed his words and talked about what happened this morning.
"Among these people, the one you have to guard against the most is that Eastern Demon Emperor Long Taiyi, his body is a dragon, and I don't know where to get the news, saying that the heavy treasure born this time is an ancient dragon soul, for him of the dragon clan, the role of the ancient dragon soul is undoubtedly great, I'm afraid that guy will not give up easily. Chen Lao said solemnly.
"Eastern Demon Emperor, Western Demon Emperor, it seems that this Demon Emperor Sect is not monolithic!" Ye Chen paused, and then blurted out.
You must know that the Eastern Demon Emperor personally came to snatch the dragon jade, but the Western Demon Emperor also sent someone to come, and judging from their performance this morning, they were not in a group, but in their own camps, and they all wanted to get the treasure. It can be seen from this that I am afraid that although the Demon Emperor Sect is called the Demon Emperor Sect, it is nominally the same sect, but in fact it is just a formality, and the Demon Emperor inside is still separate and independent.
Old Chen thought that Ye Chen didn't know about the Demon Emperor Sect, but when he said this, he just thought that Ye Chen was underestimating the Demon Emperor Sect, so he said with a solemn face: "Don't underestimate the Demon Emperor Sect because of this, this Demon Emperor Sect is a sect of demonic beasts, although it is not known to ordinary people, but its strength is not trivial, and it dominates the demonic beasts of the entire Phantom Dragon Continent! The strength of its sect master, the Supreme Demon Emperor, is also stronger than the dean! Just one Demon Emperor Sect is enough to rival our nine major sects!"
The disciple wrote it down. Ye Chen didn't say anything, he just pressed his mind to respond.
"Well, the other sects are okay, I have already discussed with Ning Tianxuan, Baihu, and Yu Linglong, and I promised some benefits to make them promise to help you keep the treasure. In addition, the descendant of your sect named Baiyi Hou is a person from the Fengyun Empire, and I think he is also loyal to you, and I want to intercede with the Fengyun Empire. In this way, you will have five of the nine major sects of the Phantom Dragon Continent to support, and presumably those people will not be able to do anything to you. ”
Chen Lao continued.
"But I can't help the Demon Emperor Sect, at most I can only temporarily repel them, but once we each return to the sect, although Long Taiyi doesn't dare to blatantly come to trouble you, he won't let you go easily, you have to be more careful!"
Ye Chen's expression was dazed, he nodded hurriedly, and said yes in response.
"Well, it's not too early, you go and rest first, I'll take a break too. Seeing this, Chen Lao said, which can be regarded as the end of today's conversation between the two.
"Then the disciple won't disturb Old Chen's rest. Ye Chen hurriedly got up and said, and after speaking, he was about to retreat.
"Wait. Walking to the door, Old Chen suddenly stopped Ye Chen.
Ye Chen hurriedly stopped, turned to look at Elder Chen and asked, "Does Elder Chen have any other orders?"
