The Jade Lake Saint teased. Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled helplessly and said, "That's not it, but it's about the Vein of the Heavens. But why do I feel that you're not nervous at all?"
The Jade Lake Saint, or rather, the Saints of the Ancient Sacred Sect, gave Xiao Chen the feeling that they were not nervous at all. After all, it was about the Vein of the Heavens, the foundation of the Ancient Sacred Sect.
Seeing Xiao Chen's doubts, the Jade Lake Saint smiled slightly and then explained the relationship between the Four Sacred Sects to Xiao Chen.
However, Xiao Chen had just joined the Ancient Sacred Sect, so he naturally knew very little about the relationship between the Four Sacred Sects of the Tianhe Continent. After hearing the Jade Lake Saint's words, Xiao Chen finally understood.
It turned out that such things happened from time to time. Moreover, even if he did not catch Wudie, the Vein of the Heavens would not have any accidents. That was why the Saints were so relaxed and did not take this matter to heart at all.
The Four Sacred Sects competed with each other, but they also restrained each other. They used all kinds of means within a controllable range. In this regard, Xiao Chen could only smile helplessly. It seemed that he was the one who was not anxious. From the beginning to the end, this was simply an ordinary contest between the Ancient Sacred Sect and the Sacred Yin Sect.
He finally understood. Seeing this, the Jade Lake Saint also smiled and said, "What, do you think that the secret contest between the Four Sacred Sects is like children playing house?"
In fact, the contest between the Four Sacred Sects was insignificant. In the eyes of outsiders, it was indeed like a joke. However, if you really thought so, then you were very wrong.
Before Xiao Chen could reply, the Jade Lake Saint continued, "It seems to be insignificant, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging. The Four Sacred Sects have been restraining each other because they have no other choice. After all, the strength of the Four Sacred Sects is almost the same. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation."
"And these seemingly joking contests and senseless probings are often the most threatening. Under such probing, once a flaw is revealed, what follows will be a fatal strike."
"In other words, the Sacred Yin Sect's operation this time may seem like they don't have any hope at all. It's just a very ordinary test. However, if they really succeed by a fluke and the Ancient Sacred Sect's Vein of the Heavens is destroyed, do you know what the Ancient Sacred Sect will have to face next?"
"It's the crazy attacks of the other three sacred sects," Xiao Chen replied after hearing Bihu Saint's question.
Nodding slightly, the Jade Lake Saint smiled and said, "That's right. In a seemingly ordinary probing, the moment you reveal a flaw and allow the other party to grasp it, what awaits you is a frenzied attack."
"It's like the wild beasts in the forest. Usually, it seems peaceful, but as long as you suffer the slightest injury or reveal the slightest sign of defeat, the other wild beasts will go crazy at the sight of blood. In the end, you can only end up being torn apart."
The Jade Lake Saint told Xiao Chen to never underestimate the probing between the Four Sacred Sects. This was because whether it was the Ancient Sacred Sect, the Sacred Yin Sect, or the other two sacred sects, everyone was waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once the opportunity came, it would be the time to bare their fangs.
Xiao Chen naturally knew about this. Now that he was about to face the Saintess-to-be of the Sacred Yin Sect, would Xiao Chen be afraid? The answer was no.
Although Xiao Chen's current cultivation was still on the lower side compared to the other Saintess-to-be and Saintess-to-be, Xiao Chen had Xiao Sheng. If he really wanted to compete with the Saintess-to-be of the Sacred Yin Sect, Xiao Chen wasn't afraid.
Moreover, Xiao Chen was looking forward to being able to ask about Gu Lingyao from the Saintess-to-be.
After chatting with the Jade Lake Saint for a while, the Jade Lake Saint smiled and said, "Alright, prepare to go. As for the specifics, I'll leave it to you to arrange. It's also up to you to decide how many disciples you want to bring."
Everything would be decided by Xiao Chen and the other Saints wouldn't interfere. Hearing this, Xiao Chen stood up and bowed, but before he left, he suddenly turned his head and smiled at the Jade Lake Saint.
"Lord Saint, since I'm already the Saintess-to-be of the Ancient Sacred Sect, why would I be afraid of the Saintess-to-be of the Sacred Yin Sect? It's not that I don't have confidence."
With that, Xiao Chen walked away. Looking at Xiao Chen's departing figure, the Jade Lake Saint smiled and said, "This little guy is quite interesting. No wonder Tian Feng, Kuang Li, and Qing Jue think so highly of him. In time, the Ancient Sacred Sect might really have a fifth Saintess-to-be."
After bidding farewell to the Jade Lake Saint, Xiao Chen returned to the First Sacred Palace of the Ancient Sacred Sect. To deal with the people of the Sacred Yin Sect, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't go alone. He would definitely bring his own people.
However, there weren't many disciples that Xiao Chen could trust. There were only a few dozen disciples in the Punishment Hall, and Xiao Chen did indeed intend to choose some of them to carry out this mission with him.
In total, he chose twenty of the eighty disciples in the Punishment Hall. These twenty were all core disciples and weren't weak.
In addition to these twenty core disciples, Xiao Chen also looked for Chen Yu to borrow Yi Xu.
Although Yi Xu was Chen Yu's Sacred Servant, she had the strength of a direct disciple. Chen Yu naturally wouldn't refuse Xiao Chen's request. After receiving Yi Xu's consent, Chen Yu nodded happily and agreed.
On the same day, Xiao Chen brought back Yi Xu and the twenty core disciples from the Ancient Sacred Sect. In addition to this group of people, Xiao Chen also planned to bring Zhang Boyun and the others. After all, the Sacred Yin Sect had two direct disciples this time.
According to Xiao Chen's plan, Yi Xu, Zhang Boyun, and the others would deal with the two direct disciples, while the twenty core disciples of the Punishment Hall would deal with the five core disciples of the Sacred Yin Sect. Elder Hei and Elder Master Bai would deal with the half-Saintess-to-be beside the Saintess-to-be.
As for the final Saintess-to-be, Xiao Chen would naturally deal with her.
After everything was ready, Xiao Chen then led the group to the Vein of the Heavens. The source of the Vein of the Heavens in the Ancient Sacred State was in the Azure Lake Mansion. The people of the Sacred Yin Sect should be nearby at this time. As long as they could find and capture them, the mission would be considered complete.
They headed towards a mountain range called Heavenly Mountain. The source of the Vein of the Heavens was in Heavenly Mountain.
Xiao Chen didn't use a teleportation formation because he didn't want to alert the enemy. Instead, they hurried by flying. It took them three days to reach the periphery of Heavenly Mountain.
At this time, there were still a few days before the half-month deadline that Wu Die had mentioned, so there was no need to rush. Xiao Chen said to the group when they reached the periphery of Heavenly Mountain.
"Heavenly Mountain isn't very big, and the disciples of the Sacred Yin Sect must be hiding here. Don't alert the enemy. Secretly search for their whereabouts, find them, and capture them in one fell swoop."
