Master Ye observed the two individuals’ actions, remaining entirely unperturbed. He smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "You two...let first tell you about the Shangqing Sect!"
Jian Feng snorted coldly, staring at Master Ye.
ng Po was equally vigilant, showing no relaxation.
Seeing the looks on their faces, it was clear that if Master Ye had deliberately sabotaged Yang Chen, they would spring into action imdiately!
Master Ye, unfazed by the two’s behavior, spoke slowly, "The Shangqing Sect has existed since ancient tis, so far back that its exact origins are untraceable. Their presence has always been to maintain the stability of the ruling regi of the ti. As long as they were around, no internal governntal power struggles would arise, as they prohibited political chaos. After the war was won, the Shangqing Sect erged. At that ti, a middle-aged man, dressed in a long robe similar to today’s mbers of the Shangqing Sect, appeared before the old headmaster and inford him that the Beihai people had to pay the price."
"That very day, he infiltrated Beihai Country alone, slaughtered the Beihai royal family, leaving only one lineage, which now sustains the royal bloodline through close interbreeding. I wonder, who can enter an enemy palace alone and eliminate its rulers? Wasn’t he afraid of modern weapons?"
Jian Feng frowned deeply, his expression showing disbelief in Master Ye’s account.
"So, from that point on, the Shangqing Sect acquired another identity." Master Ye thought for a mont and said to the two, "I wonder if you’ve seen Northern Federation movies. Ye Kai showed one before, quite chaotic, called Avengers. The Shangqing Sect is akin to them, possessing superlative combat prowess and extraordinary privileges. The Shangqing Sect can mobilize any guard unit at any ti and command support from any departnt. Their authority is second only to that of the old headmaster! Moreover, their existence can withstand a massive-scale battle. With the strength of the Shangqing Sect, even if the current headmaster initiates a war, he wouldn’t fear danger, for the Shangqing Sect would ensure his safety! Now, do you realize how powerful and formidable the Shangqing Sect is? Do you think the old headmaster would permit action against the Shangqing Sect if I ordered it? Do you really believe those people would listen to if I gave orders? I can tell you, there are people from the old headmaster on the scene, keeping a constant watch!"
After hearing this, Jian Feng and ng Po fell silent.
Especially Jian Feng, who had already uncovered so top-level secrets, yet had never heard of the Shangqing Sect.
Master Ye continued, "I just asked you earlier, why did Yang Chen forbid you from acting? Kun Bai was already severely injured by Yang Chen, and the others are no match at all. As long as Kun Bai is defeated, we win, so why? Why didn’t he let you act?"
Jian Feng paused, frowning, "Is it...is it because...because he was afraid we would be implicated?"
"That’s just one reason!" Master Ye said, "He’s afraid you’ll get hurt! Even in that condition, it’s likely Kun Bai still has the capacity to fight! Do you think people from Asura Hall are weak? Have you forgotten the ten-thousand-man battle in Lijia Continent? That’s the power of Asura Hall, and even then, Asura Hall was defeated!"
Master Ye looked at ng Po, "Why did Yang Chen stop you? Because he knows you’re no match for Kun Bai! Sotis, the disparity in strength cannot simply be compensated by numbers!"
ng Po lowered her head, tears glistening in her beautiful eyes.
She certainly understood Yang Chen’s intentions, but what could she do, even if there was a choice, she would still do it, even if it ant death!
"Actually, this entire situation is my fault! Today’s circumstances were set in motion eighteen years ago when I sent Ye Xin to the Shangqing Sect to beco a disciple. The Shangqing Sect stated that Ye Xin must stay with the Shangqing Sect in the future, severing ties with the Ye family. I agreed, and that’s how today ca to be." Master Ye sighed, sat down, and covered his face with his hands as he sobbed.
Jian Feng and ng Po exchanged a glance, letting out a sigh as well.
Both sat down, leaned back in their chairs, their eyes blank as if lost in thought.
...
Artificial Sea.
The old headmaster was practicing calligraphy in his study.
At this ti, soone burst in, shouting, "Old headmaster, sothing’s wrong!"
The old headmaster was startled by the intruder, his hand slipped, and the entire piece was effectively ruined.
However, the old headmaster glanced at the newcor, not getting angry, made a slight correction, and continued writing.
The visitor approached the old headmaster, nervously saying, "Old headmaster! It’s bad! You sent to the scene, I’ve seen it all, these people are simply too formidable! I believe we should control this strength, or if an issue arises, it could be catastrophic!"
"What catastrophic problem!" the old headmaster finished writing the last character and asked the visitor, "Xiaozhou, take a look, how’s my handwriting here?"
Xiaozhou glanced at it and praised, "The brush flows like a dragon, entering with divine presence and finishing like a blade, beautiful!"
Praising the boss was a skill Xiaozhou had mastered.
The old headmaster wasn’t fully satisfied and pointed to a few ’zhi’ characters, asking, "How many parts of Wang Xizhi’s style do you see in my ’zhi’ characters?"
Xiaozhou examined closely for a while, then sincerely said, "I think you’ve captured seven parts of Wang Xizhi’s essence! Stunning! Truly stunning! Each of your ’zhi’ characters is different, with unique styles! Many people imitate the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, trying just to write ’zhi’ differently, but you vary the entire style, absolutely stunning!"
"Haha!" the old headmaster was quite pleased with this flattery.
The old headmaster nodded, "Alright, you can keep this piece then!"
"I’m incredibly honored! I’ll get it frad and hang it at ho right away!" Xiaozhou was thrilled.
After all, this was a masterpiece by the old headmaster, akin to an imperial work in ancient tis!
The old headmaster wiped his hands with a towel, then said, "Now, tell what actually happened."
Xiaozhou hurriedly said, "Old headmaster, you have no idea, these people are incredible! It’s just like the martial arts novels, leaping across rooftops and scaling walls! These individuals are like the superheroes on TV, absolutely incredible!"
The old headmaster waved his hand, "Just tell the outco."
"Outco?" Xiaozhou paused, looked closely at the old headmaster, and realized he wasn’t interested in those superhero-like figures at all.
Could it be...the old headmaster already knew about these people?
With this thought, Xiaozhou took deep breaths, cald himself, and slowly said, "The final outco is that Master Ye’s granddaughter was taken away by these people, and those who tried to resist were injured. In the end, even the Dragon Tooth Squad ca, but they couldn’t stop them."
"The Dragon Tooth Squad also ca?" the old headmaster asked.
"Yes!"
"Oh!" the old headmaster nodded, then asked, "How is Yang Chen now?"
"He’s currently undergoing ergency treatnt at Jincheng Hospital."
The old headmaster thought it over, then said to Xiaozhou, "Go to Jincheng Hospital and stay there, report to on Yang Chen’s situation at all tis."
"Understood!"
