Chen Yu, the Qing Emperor, Hu Fei, and Jiang Yue were the four Holy Sons of the Ancient Hallowed Sect. However, Xiao Chen had never imagined that Chen Yu would actually be ranked first amongst the four of them. He was the first Holy Son of the Ancient Hallowed Sect.
Xiao Chen wasn't unfamiliar with Chen Yu. Moreover, he had personally witnessed Hu Fei's battle. In Xiao Chen's opinion, Hu Fei was clearly stronger than Chen Yu. However, Hu Fei was merely ranked third amongst the four Holy Sons. Besides Chen Yu, there was still the Qing Emperor above him.
Elder Master Bai quickly guessed something when he saw how Xiao Chen doubted that Chen Yu was actually the first Holy Son, and he smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"Looks like young master doesn't know Holy Son Chen Yu very well. Actually, what I said earlier wasn't very accurate. The rankings of the four Holy Sons have always been rather controversial, but it's all on the Qing Emperor, Hu Fei, and Jiang Yue. Only Holy Son Chen Yu has never been questioned. He's publicly acknowledged as the first Holy Son.
"The reason why Young Master has doubts is probably related to Holy Son Chen Yu's character. Ever since Holy Son Chen Yu became a Holy Son, he rarely took action. Furthermore, even if he was forcefully assigned some missions by the other Saints, Holy Son Chen Yu would avoid them as much as he could. If he really couldn't avoid them, he would only do it half-heartedly.
"However, even though Holy Son Chen Yu's character is like that, there's no need to doubt his strength. In the past, Holy Son Chen Yu went out on a mission. Supposedly, he flew into a rage for certain reasons. In the end, he killed 23 Dao Emperors and heavily injured 2 Half-Saints in a single battle. After that battle, Holy Son Chen Yu's strength received everyone's acknowledgement."
Elder Master Bai spoke slowly. Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled. "I do understand Holy Son Chen Yu's character, but I really never imagined that he would actually be the first Holy Son."
Chen Yu was the first Holy Son of the Ancient Saint Sect. This was something that Xiao Chen had not expected. However, this did not matter. Regardless of whether Chen Yu was the first Holy Son or not, Xiao Chen was prepared to choose Chen Yu's Holy Palace, which was the first Holy Palace.
Having made his decision, Xiao Chen chose the First Sacred Palace — Chen Yu's First Sacred Palace — early the next morning. When Xiao Chen made his choice, the disciples of the First Sacred Palace had already come to greet him.
The entire Ancient Sacred Sect was divided into five regions. Apart from the central Shrines and the Myriad World Palace, which were directly under the jurisdiction of the Saints, the other four regions were where the Four Sacred Palaces were located.
Disciples of different Sacred Palaces were not allowed to enter other Sacred Palaces at will. Therefore, after Xiao Chen chose the First Sacred Palace, a single word appeared on his identity token, indicating that Xiao Chen was a disciple of the First Sacred Palace.
Under the lead of the two disciples of the First Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen, Elder Hei, and Elder Master Bai arrived at the First Sacred Palace, which was located in the east of the Ancient Sacred Sect.
There were rune matrices all around, and there was only one entrance. Xiao Chen entered the First Sacred Palace through the entrance. There were houses floating in the air all around, and there were three caves at the center. One of them was the largest, and that was where Chen Yu lived. There were two smaller caves to the left and right of Chen Yu's residence. One of them was where Xiao Chen would live in the future, and the other was where the other candidate of the First Sacred Palace lived.
Along the way, the two disciples respectfully introduced the situation of the First Sacred Palace to Xiao Chen. According to them, there were a total of 2,498 disciples in the First Sacred Palace, including five direct disciples and eighteen half-Saint attendants.
Of course, the eighteen half-Saint attendants were not like Elder Hei and Elder Master Bai. After all, Elder Hei and Elder Master Bai were now under Xiao Chen's personal command. They only obeyed Xiao Chen's orders. Even Chen Yu could not order them to do anything.
In addition to these personnel, the First Sacred Palace also had the Law Enforcement Hall, Mission Hall, Martial Skills Hall, and various cultivation grounds.
All the matters of the First Sacred Palace had always been handled by the fourth candidate, Du Yi.
In this regard, Xiao Chen did not find it strange. After all, with Chen Yu's character, it would be strange if he personally took charge of the First Sacred Palace. He must have handed over everything to others and left it to others.
Speaking of Du Yi, he was ranked fourth among the five candidates of the Ancient Sacred Sect. Before Xiao Chen appeared, Du Yi was at the bottom.
Even so, Du Yi did not feel the slightest shame. On the contrary, Du Yi was like a fish in water in the First Sacred Palace.
Chen Yu found it troublesome and left everything to Du Yi to handle. Over time, Du Yi naturally became the true ruler of the First Sacred Palace. Although everything depended on Chen Yu's mood, it was undeniable that Du Yi did his best and he enjoyed this feeling very much.
However, now that Xiao Chen had arrived and was also a candidate, Xiao Chen's appearance undoubtedly made Du Yi feel threatened. What was certain was that Xiao Chen's arrival meant that he would definitely take away power from Du Yi. This was something that Du Yi would not allow.
Because of this, while Xiao Chen was heading to Du Yi's cave dwelling, several of Du Yi's confidants were gathered in Du Yi's cave dwelling. Du Yi sat on the main seat and looked indifferently at the five people below. These five people were all direct disciples of the First Sacred Palace. Du Yi said in a slightly cold tone.
"Xiao Chen has chosen the First Sacred Palace. Tell me, how should we deal with him?"
Hearing Du Yi's words, a direct disciple said respectfully. "Senior Brother Du Yi, although Xiao Chen became the Candidate by luck, it is undeniable that once he comes to our First Sacred Palace, Senior Brother Chen Yu will definitely give some power to Xiao Chen."
Xiao Chen's intention to give power was inevitable. Hearing this direct disciple's words, Du Yi's eyes flashed coldly. "Want power? Hmph, he's dreaming. I want to see if Xiao Chen knows how to appreciate kindness. If he doesn't know what's good for him, I don't mind teaching him a lesson. "
Du Yi was definitely unwilling to hand over power to others, but Chen Yu's decision was something that Du Yi could not control. Moreover, although Chen Yu had a lazy personality, it did not mean that he was a fool. On the contrary, Chen Yu was a very smart person. He knew everything about the First Sacred Palace.
Previously, Du Yi had controlled all the power in the First Sacred Palace, but Du Yi's management was very orderly. Apart from nepotism and forming cliques, there were no major mistakes. Therefore, Du Yi had always turned a blind eye. But now, with Xiao Chen's arrival, if Chen Yu wanted to give him power, Du Yi could do nothing about it.
Since he did not dare to offend Chen Yu, he could only let Xiao Chen know the difficulty and back off.
