Overriding the Heaven

His reaction was within the Sect Leader's expectations.    

Thus, the sect head did not urge him, but waited patiently.    

In fact, what the Sect Leader did not know was that Chu Yan had already thought of the question he would ask when he arrived at the thatched cottage.    

Chu Yan didn't want to show off too much at the moment.    

That was why he purposely showed such hesitation on his face.    

After a long while, Chu Yan took a deep breath and looked up at the grand master.    

"Have you decided?" The Sect Leader asked.    

Today, it seemed as if his dignity had been swept away, but in reality, everything was within his control, so his mood was elated.    

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded his head, "Disciple would like to ask Sect Master what exactly is the qualifications for Glory City that Crown Prince Ling mentioned."    

The expression on the Sect Master's face stiffened.    

He had speculated earlier on the question that Chu Yan would ask.    

For example, Emperor Taiqing's origin, for example, what he should do next, and even if he was ready, Chu Yan would ask him to prepare some treasures to bestow upon him.    

But he never would have thought that Chu Yan would ask him about Glory City.    

Moreover, the news about Glory City only came from the words of Demon Crown Prince Ling.    

"Disciple is curious, so I ask for Sect Master's explanation." Chu Yan added, "Because from what disciple heard from Demon Crown Prince Ling, one part of the plan was to kill Emperor Taiqing, but more importantly, to rob him of his qualifications to enter Glory City."    

"So that's how it is." The Sovereign closed his eyes and nodded, "Glory City is indeed too far away for ordinary cultivators. Since you are curious, I will tell you about the Glory City and the qualifications to enter it."    

… ….    

Two hours later, Chu Yan left the thatched cottage with the spiritual energy of the ancient country.    

The void shimmered as the door he had come from appeared in front of him.    

Chu Yan walked through the door and instantly returned to the Immortal Island.    

At that moment, most of the cultivators had already left.    

He spread out his divine sense and found that more than half of the cultivators had disappeared too.    

It seemed that it was just as the sect head had said. In the chaotic world of demons and devils, all the large sects had to unite and face this calamity.    

The sect heads of the sects and clans all rushed back to their territories at the fastest speed possible to fight against the demons.    

This great calamity, not only the Precious Appearance Kingdom, even the surrounding few nations were also affected.    

Furthermore, the Ling Demon Crown Prince had made it very clear previously.    

They had prepared the 'Heaven Shrouding Plan' for a hundred years.    

The whole plan was flawless.    

A human cultivator who was caught off guard would definitely suffer a huge loss.    

The situation in the early stages must have been desperate.    

Originally, in this war, the Heaven's Edge Sect would have been the main force in fighting the demons.    

However, when Emperor Taiqing returned, he killed many experts.    

The overall power of the human cultivators was instantly reduced by a large amount.    

Moreover, his attitude also caused the remaining cultivators to panic.    

One could imagine how difficult it was to fight against the fiendish demons this time.    

Looking at the fleeing cultivators, Chu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "However, Precious Appearance Kingdom's territory is vast, and his family is rich. Even if he suffered some losses, he wouldn't suffer too much.    

This time, the most miserable people will most likely be the Realm and the state. "    

However, these were not things he needed to consider for the time being.    

The fight between Emperor Taiqing and Prince Ling would surely continue for a period of time. Furthermore, at this time, no one could predict the outcome.    

However, this matter was related to the life and death of Chu Yan and his companions.    

As such, everything had to be considered at the fastest speed possible. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that.    

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed across Chu Yan's eyes.    

However, this expression was immediately hidden by him.    

Chu Yan already knew that the grand master had his own plans.    

"This is equivalent to a gambler betting on both sides.    

He told me to go to the secret realm to find some lucky chances, so he asked me to leave them on the island to protect them.    

On the surface, it seemed that he did indeed planned for them to be safe before Emperor Taiqing returned.    

But to put it bluntly, it was equivalent to holding all of them hostage in Heaven's Edge Sect.    

He was protecting Emperor Taiqing before he returned.    

If Emperor Taiqing is back, he will immediately leave and not need to offend them. Furthermore, it looks like he specifically captured them for Emperor Taiqing. "    

Chu Yan flew towards the jade platform. As he thought of this, his mind opened up.    

Time was of the essence.    

He gathered his strength and analyzed many problems. At the same time, he was also considering his next plan.    

This time, the sect head acted on his own selfish motives.    

"This also means that to the grand master, I am still of use.    

Then what I need to do is to rely on my current value and get more resources from the sect head.    

Emperor Taiqing was not a good person.    

And this Sect Leader was also not a good person.    

However, Emperor Taiqing was arrogant and despotic on the surface.    

The Sect Leader was secretly scheming and planning.    

He did not want Emperor Taiqing to rise up and replace him, but he did not take the initiative to attack.    

Such a person has too deep of a mind. "    

Chu Yan pondered: "This time, the reason why the Sect Leader talked to me alone was to comfort me and also to test me."    

Chu Yan carefully recalled the expressions and actions of his conversation with the Sect Leader.    

"I should not be flawed, neither humble nor arrogant, neither very grateful nor resentful.    

This is the performance that a disciple with a great destiny and great destiny and luck should perform afterwards. "    

"The information that Sect Master told me this time cannot be doubted, but it cannot be completely trusted either.    

Since he wants to use me to fight Emperor Taiqing, then he definitely can't harm me.    

Furthermore, my current level of strength is far from being enough to defeat Emperor Taiqing, so the Sect Leader cannot place all his bets on me. He must have other tricks up his sleeve, so I must be wary of him.    

The next thing I need to do is to grab some time. "    

Thinking about this, Chu Yan could already see everyone on the jade platform.    

Lin Miaoran and the rest were all present.    

And now, a tall and slim figure had appeared.    

At this moment, this beautiful figure was crying as she looked in his direction.    

"Xiao Pei —"    

Even Chu Yan felt his heart tremble.    

Unexpectedly, they could really meet again!    

At this moment, Chu Yan was thinking about the words his mother left him in Return to the Ruins Tower all those years ago.    

"If I keep thinking about it, there will definitely be an echo."    

He remembered the mark on the cassock that took Xiao Pei away ten years ago.    

He had always believed that Xiao Pei was still alive.    

He'd always felt that one day, he would be able to see Xiao Pei again.    

Xiao Pei was thinking the same thing as him.    

Chu Yan became a beam of light and landed on the jade platform.    

It was obvious that everyone already knew of Xiao Pei's identity. At this moment, everyone took the initiative to take a step back, including Lin Miaoran and Wusilanma.    

In a short moment, Chu Yan and Xiao Pei were given all the space they could spare.
