The disappointment and worry in Xiao Chen's heart was naturally felt by Xiao Sheng. If he wanted to rescue Gu Lingyao, the first step was to become a Holy Son. Only by becoming a Holy Son would Xiao Chen have the confidence to personally head to the Sacred Yin Sect.
Right now, Xiao Chen's identity was the Holy Son of the Ancient Sacred Sect. However, he still couldn't head to the Sacred Yin Sect because once Xiao Chen went, it was very likely that he would stay in the Sacred Yin Sect forever.
However, once Xiao Chen became a Holy Son, the Sacred Yin Sect definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to Xiao Chen.
Holy Son and Holy Son seemed to only differ by one word, but the difference in status between the two was like heaven and earth. The Sacred Yin Sect might dare to kill the Holy Son of the Ancient Sacred Sect, but they definitely wouldn't dare to kill the Holy Son of the Ancient Sacred Sect.
Killing a Holy Son would at most lead to some small-scale conflicts and some compensation would be paid in the end. However, if a Holy Son was killed, it would definitely be a matter of life and death. Therefore, Xiao Sheng had always said that if he didn't become a Holy Son, Xiao Chen definitely couldn't head to the Sacred Yin Sect.
The identity of a Holy Son was Xiao Chen's protective amulet and this was indeed the consensus of the Four Sacred Sects. A Holy Son couldn't be killed unless you wanted to start an all-out war, but that was a different matter.
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, forcibly suppressing the worry in his heart.
After a night of silence, he had already reported the matter of the Heavenly Veins to the various Saints. As for how they would decide, it would be up to the various Saints. Therefore, Xiao Chen had nothing to do. He cultivated in the Jade Lake Sacred Sect every day and chatted with Feng Lingye, Su Jin, and other acquaintances from the Heavenly Chen Continent. His days were rather comfortable.
It had been five days since Wu Die was sent to Jade Lake Saint, but Jade Lake Saint had not come to find Xiao Chen. As for Ji You, Jade Lake Sacred Sect naturally had its own way of dealing with it. It had nothing to do with Xiao Chen.
It had been five days and no one had come to look for him. In Xiao Chen's opinion, the Saints must have chosen someone else to accept this mission. After all, the Sacred Yin Sect was led by a prospective Holy Maiden. Although Xiao Chen was a prospective Holy Maiden, there was still a gap between his cultivation and a real prospective Holy Maiden. The Saints must have felt that Xiao Chen was not qualified for this mission.
That was Xiao Chen's guess. However, that wasn't the case. At this moment, Jade Lake Saint and the other four saints were gathered in the sacred palace of the Ancient Saint Sect. The five saints were discussing the Vein of the Sky.
It was related to the Veins of the Sky, but not all the Saints of the Ancient Holy Clan were there. Only five of them were there. The five Saints were sitting cross-legged in the Holy Palace. One of them looked at Saint Bihu.
"Veins of the Sky again? This Sacred Yin Sect really doesn't give up. It's not the first time they've thought of seizing the Veins of the Sky. "
There wasn't much seriousness in the words of this Saint, and he even seemed very relaxed.
However, this wasn't strange. After all, this wasn't the first time the Sacred Yin Sect had thought of seizing the Veins of the Sky. Moreover, it wasn't just the Sacred Yin Sect; wasn't the Ancient Holy Clan the same?
On the surface, the four Sacred Sects of the Heavenly River Continent seemed to be peaceful, but in fact, there were undercurrents surging. There were all kinds of open and covert struggles, and all kinds of methods were emerging one after another. Therefore, the Saints of the Ancient Holy Clan were already used to such actions by the Sacred Yin Sect. Moreover, they weren't too worried.
What a joke. Since the Veins of the Sky were related to the foundation of the Ancient Holy Clan, how could the Saints of the Ancient Holy Clan not have any precautions? In fact, even if Xiao Chen hadn't caught Wu Die this time, the Sacred Yin Sect wouldn't have succeeded. The source of the Veins of the Sky was such an important place, so how could the Ancient Holy Clan not have any precautions?
Of course, on the other hand, the Saints of the Sacred Yin Sect were also aware of this. Therefore, their actions were mostly just a test. Even if they failed, it wouldn't be a big deal. As for the disciples who were caught by the Ancient Holy Clan, the two Sacred Sects would naturally discuss and resolve the matter. Under normal circumstances, the Sacred Yin Sect would be the one to compensate, and the Ancient Holy Clan would choose the prisoners.
Open and covert struggles, but at the same time, they restrained each other. Things would always be controlled within a controllable range. This was the relationship between the four Sacred Sects.
Xiao Chen obviously didn't expect that the Saints of the Ancient Holy Clan would be so relaxed about this matter. They weren't worried at all.
Following this Saint's words, another Saint said, "The Sacred Yin Sect is probably taking revenge. After all, we only sent people to the Sacred Yin Province last time. It hasn't been that long, and they're already sending people to target our Veins of the Sky. What a bunch of narrow-minded women."
There was a faint smile in the Saint's words. Hearing that, the Saint who spoke before also smiled, "Forget it, let's talk about how to deal with this. Jade Lake, I think you should make the decision. But still, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Don't let others see you as a joke."
He directly handed the decision to the Jade Lake Saint. Hearing that, the Jade Lake Saint maintained a gentle smile as he spoke in an elegant tone.
"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Since it's like this, we can only let the fifth candidate take action. Since they've sent a candidate, we can't let a Saint take action."
Let Xiao Chen take action. Hearing that, the other four Saints were slightly taken aback, but they all smiled and said, "But Xiao Chen has just become a candidate, and we do need to give him some training. But how about this, let Hu Fei secretly go to the Jade Lake Manor. After all, Xiao Chen's cultivation is still too low. Hu Fei can protect him in the dark if there's any danger."
As this matter concerned the Veins of the Sky, the Saints simply threw the matter to Xiao Chen. The mission didn't change, and Xiao Chen would still be in charge of it. He would lead people to stop and capture the disciples of the Sacred Yin Sect.
After the decision was made, the influence of the five Saints slowly disappeared. For a moment, the Sacred Palace fell silent again. At the same time, within the Jade Lake Sacred Sect, the Jade Lake Saint had a smile on his face as he called Guo Taifeng over and asked him to bring Xiao Chen over.
Xiao Chen didn't know why the Jade Lake Saint had summoned him, but he still followed Guo Taifeng to the Jade Lake Saint's cave residence. He met the Jade Lake Saint in the same garden as before.
The Jade Lake Saint's face was elegant, and he didn't seem nervous at all. Seeing that Xiao Chen had arrived, the Jade Lake Saint gestured for Xiao Chen to take a seat.
After taking a seat opposite the Jade Lake Saint, Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask, "Saint, why have you called me here?"
"The Saints have already made a decision regarding the Veins of the Sky. The mission remains the same, and you will still be in charge of it. Stop and capture the disciples of the Sacred Yin Sect."
He knew that the Sacred Yin Sect's goal was related to the Veins of the Sky, but the Saints still wanted him to stop it. After all, the Sacred Yin Sect had a candidate leading the team this time. Xiao Chen clearly didn't expect the Saints to make such a decision.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was a little stunned, the Jade Lake Saint smiled and said, "Why? Don't you have confidence in facing the candidate of the Sacred Yin Sect?"
