The Ancient Sacred Sect and Sacred Yin Sect had already reached a consensus. However, at this moment, someone shouted. Following Xiao Chen's shout, as expected, everyone's gaze gathered on Xiao Chen.
"This guy …" No one expected Xiao Chen to speak at this moment. Wang Zong smiled helplessly.
He was indeed too bold. At this moment, not only were Chen Yu and Yun Luan, but Saint Qing Jue and Saint Red Lotus were also present. Even Saint Tianfeng was not qualified to speak, let alone Xiao Chen.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen's expression was firm. There was no way out. Holding Gu Lingyao's hand, Xiao Chen strode to Saint Qing Jue's light screen and bowed.
"Tianfeng Shengzong's disciple Xiao Chen greets Saint Qing Jue."
Facing a Saint from the Ancient Sacred Sect, Xiao Chen could not disrespect. However, Saint Qing Jue did not get angry when facing Xiao Chen. Instead, he looked at Xiao Chen with interest and said calmly, "Who do you think you are?
"Do you know what kind of people are here? Even your Sect Master, the Heavenly Wind Saint, is not qualified to speak. How dare you speak so rudely."
"I know," Xiao Chen replied after hearing that.
"Since you know, why do you still dare to speak?" Saint Qing Jue asked.
"I have no choice," Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Chen knew the consequences of speaking recklessly in such an occasion. However, he had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, wouldn't he have to watch Gu Lingyao be taken away by Sacred Yin Sect?
Compared to Xiao Chen's calmness, Gu Lingyao was much more nervous. She held Xiao Chen's hand tightly and hid half of her body behind Xiao Chen.
Hearing Xiao Chen's reply, Saint Qing Jue glanced at Gu Lingyao with a strange glint in his eyes. He then took the initiative to speak. "You want me and the Ancient Sacred Sect to protect this little girl?"
"Yes." Since Saint Qing Jue took the initiative to speak, Xiao Chen also straightforwardly replied. At this point, Xiao Chen paused, then said seriously.
"Lingyao is also a disciple of Tianfeng Shengzong. Tianfeng Shengzong's Tianfeng Mansion belongs to the Ancient Sacred Sect. Sacred Sovereign, may I ask if the Ancient Sacred Sect rules over the Ancient Sacred Province? Does that mean that you have the responsibility to protect the various major forces in the Ancient Sacred Province?"
"Yes," Saint Qingjue replied without hesitation in the face of Xiao Chen's question.
"Since that's the case, Sacred Yin Sect wants to take Lingyao away. Sacred Sovereign, should the Ancient Sacred Sect step forward to protect her?" Xiao Chen continued to ask.
Knowing what Xiao Chen wanted to say, Saint Qing Jue's answer disappointed Xiao Chen. Saint Qing Jue said slowly with a complicated expression on his young and handsome face.
"Little guy, I know what you mean, but this matter cannot be done. This little girl is very important to the Sacred Yin Sect. If we want to protect her, we will have to go to war with the Sacred Yin Sect. I'm not afraid to tell you that for her, the Ancient Sacred Sect will not go to war with the Sacred Yin Sect."
Xiao Chen didn't know that the relationship between Tianfeng Shengzong and the Ancient Sacred Sect wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. Saint Tianfeng was also a Saint of the Ancient Sacred Sect, and the reward of Tianfeng Shengzong was also instructed by the Ancient Sacred Sect.
To put it simply, Tianfeng Shengzong was like an outer sect of the Ancient Sacred Sect. The disciples of Tianfeng Shengzong could be considered half a disciple of the Ancient Sacred Sect. This was also the reason why the talented disciples of Tianfeng Shengzong would eventually head to the Ancient Sacred Sect to cultivate.
It wasn't just Tianfeng Shengzong. Other Sacred Sects like the Tianyue Sacred Sect could also be considered as branches of the Ancient Sacred Sect.
Generally speaking, there was only one Sacred Sect in the entire Ancient Sacred State, and that was the Ancient Sacred Sect. The other Sacred Sects were all branches of the Ancient Sacred Sect, or could be considered as outer sects.
With such a relationship, the Ancient Sacred Sect would definitely protect Gu Lingyao if it was an ordinary problem. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Chen Yu here.
However, the problem now was that Gu Lingyao was far too important to the Sacred Yin Sect. She was so important that the Sacred Yin Sect would not give in even half a step. This was not difficult to deduce from the Red Lotus Saint's words earlier.
Apart from Gu Lingyao having to return to the Sacred Yin Sect, the Sacred Yin Sect could agree to any request of the Ancient Sacred Sect. This showed how important Gu Lingyao was to the Sacred Yin Sect.
In this way, if the Ancient Sacred Sect wanted to forcefully protect Gu Lingyao, there would only be one result, and that was a war between the two Sacred Sects. However, Saint Qing Jue also said very directly that the Ancient Sacred Sect wouldn't go to this step for Gu Lingyao.
Hearing Saint Qing Jue's answer, Xiao Chen fell silent. At the same time, Saint Red Lotus, who had been silent all this time, said faintly, "Yun Luan, bring Gu Lingyao and return immediately."
Hearing Saint Red Lotus's words, Yun Luan immediately walked towards Gu Lingyao. Seeing this, Xiao Chen's first reaction was to fight to the death. Since the Ancient Sacred Sect wasn't willing to protect Gu Lingyao, he could only rely on himself.
However, wanting to rely on his own strength to protect Gu Lingyao was no different from a fool's dream. At this moment, Xiao Sheng's voice rang out in his mind.
"Kid, if you make a move now, you're dead for sure. Listen to me, let Gu Lingyao go to the Sacred Yin Sect first. She won't be in danger for the time being, and you can also use this time to increase your strength. Only when you become the Holy Son of the Ancient Sacred Sect will you be able to save Gu Lingyao. You're just throwing an egg at a rock."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was determined to fight to the death, Xiao Sheng advised. If Xiao Chen were to fight now, there would only be one result, and that was death. There was no doubt about it.
Following Xiao Sheng's words, Gu Lingyao also mustered her courage and gently pulled Xiao Chen's hand.
"Brother Xiao Chen, I'll go with them."
With Gu Lingyao's intelligence, she naturally knew what would happen if Xiao Chen made a move now. Therefore, even though she was extremely unwilling, Gu Lingyao still chose to follow Yun Luan to the Sacred Yin Sect in order to protect Xiao Chen.
Hearing Gu Lingyao's words, Xiao Chen was stunned. However, before he could say anything, Gu Lingyao tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss Xiao Chen.
After a long while, the two separated. Gu Lingyao's eyes were red as she said, "Brother Xiao Chen, promise me that you won't do anything stupid."
Xiao Chen was already very clear about Gu Lingyao's intentions. Hearing this, he fell silent for a moment before nodding heavily. "Take good care of yourself and wait for me. I will definitely go to the Sacred Yin Sect to pick you up."
"Okay." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gu Lingyao nodded. Then, she reluctantly broke free from Xiao Chen's embrace. Holding back the tears in her eyes, she walked step by step towards Yun Luan.
Without the help of the Ancient Sacred Yin Sect, everything was meaningless. Gu Lingyao had made her choice. However, Xiao Chen was extremely furious. This was definitely the most humiliating moment in his life. He couldn't even protect his own woman.
