Ya Dun congratulated him with a warm smile on his face, but everyone present knew that Ya Dun's words were definitely fake.
No one would believe that Ya Dun had traveled thousands of miles from the Taishen Continent to the Heavenly Chen Continent just to congratulate the founding of the Sacred Palace.
To put it bluntly, Ya Dun's main purpose was to test the strength of the Sacred Palace.
Before coming, Ya Dun had already discussed with the other two secondary saints of the Supreme Deity Sect. On this trip to the Heavenly Chen Continent, if the Sacred Palace was weak, then Ya Dun would directly destroy them. If the Sacred Palace was strong, then they would wait and see.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ya Dun chose not to attack because Xiao Sheng and Mengjie had appeared at the same time. Otherwise, if only Xiao Sheng or Mengjie had appeared, Ya Dun would have already attacked.
Ya Dun's cultivation was at the initial stage of the quasi-saint realm, while Xiao Sheng and Mengjie were only at the beginning stage of the quasi-saint realm. Therefore, Ya Dun could indeed win in a one-on-one battle. Moreover, if he was willing to pay a price, he should be able to seriously injure either Xiao Sheng or Mengjie. Of course, it wouldn't be easy to kill them, but it didn't matter. As long as he could seriously injure them, the Sacred Palace would be destroyed.
Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng and Mengjie had appeared at the same time. Facing two quasi-saint great sovereigns, Ya Dun didn't choose to attack.
Of course, Ya Dun didn't know that the Sacred Palace actually had four quasi-saint great sovereigns. However, Xiao Sheng and the others weren't stupid enough to expose their trump cards. Therefore, in the face of the arrival of the Taishen Sect, only Xiao Sheng and Mengjie showed up. As for Randeng and Ice Lotus, they hid in the dark and had no intention of showing up for the time being.
Xiao Sheng smiled at Ya Dun's congratulations. "The Taishen Sect, one of the six great quasi-saint sects of the North Star Boundary, has personally come to congratulate us. Our Sacred Palace must thank you."
He didn't expose Ya Dun's intentions. Given the current situation, the Taishen Sect indeed didn't want the sacred palace to rise to prominence. They didn't want to see the emergence of a quasi-saint sect in the human race.
However, since the Sacred Palace could become a quasi-saint sect, it naturally wouldn't be simple. Therefore, the Supreme Divine Sect didn't want to rashly start a war. Otherwise, if the Sacred Palace's strength exceeded the Supreme Divine Sect's expectations and a war broke out, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Supreme Divine Sect.
After all, if the Supreme Deity Sect and the Sacred Palace fought to the bitter end, who would benefit? It was the other five quasi-sage sects.
It was precisely because of this concern that Ya Dun had come to investigate the Sacred Palace. Of course, while Ya Dun was investigating the Sacred Palace, the Sacred Palace could also use this opportunity to understand the strength of the six quasi-saint sects in the North Star Boundary.
To put it bluntly, both sides were testing each other. Before they understood each other's background, both sides would maintain restraint. This was also why Xiao Sheng didn't expose Ya Dun's intentions.
Ya Dun's smile didn't diminish in the face of Xiao Sheng's reply. Afterwards, Xiao Sheng took the initiative to invite Ya Dun to the Sacred Palace as a guest. Ya Dun naturally wouldn't refuse.
Anyone could see that the Supreme Divine Sect didn't come with good intentions, but at this very moment, both sides appeared very friendly. In particular, Xiao Sheng and Ya Dun seemed like a pair of good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years as they headed towards the Sacred Palace together.
Along the way, Gu Lingyao curled her lips and said, "What a hypocrite. He clearly doesn't have good intentions, but he still has the face to go to the Sacred Palace. Hmph, if you want to fight, then fight."
The little girl was clearly very dissatisfied with Ya Dun's hypocrisy, but Xiao Chen smiled and rubbed Gu Lingyao's head.
"A war between two quasi-saint sects isn't something that can be fought on a whim. Do you think it's an arena match? Putting aside the strength of the quasi-saint sects, just based on their influence alone, the entire North Star Boundary will be thrown into chaos if the two quasi-saint sects start a war. Don't forget, there are many sacred sects that rely on the quasi-saint sects. When the time comes, these sacred sects will definitely participate in the war. The scope of the war is too wide, so we must be careful."
Xiao Chen could understand Ya Dun and Xiao Sheng's actions. A war between quasi-saint sects wasn't something that could be fought on a whim, because once the quasi-saint sects started a war, countless people would be affected.
What's more, the Sacred Palace and the Supreme Saint Sect weren't the only quasi-saint sects in the North Star Boundary. Therefore, quasi-saint great sovereigns like Ya Dun and Xiao Sheng had to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. This was because their decision would determine the life and death of countless people.
Accompanied by Xiao Sheng and Mengjie, Ya Dun and the people from the Supreme Saint Sect very quickly arrived at the Sacred Region.
Ya Dun wasn't too surprised by the Sacred Region. After all, the Supreme Saint Sect also had such a world, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Along the way, Ya Dun and Xiao Sheng seemed to be casually chatting, but during the conversation, Ya Dun constantly probed and inquired about the Sacred Palace.
Of course, Xiao Chen was also using Ya Dun to inquire about the Supreme Saint Sect.
The two sly old foxes probed each other, and the exchange of words along the way was incomparably exciting. Xiao Chen and the others couldn't help but sigh. They were both old foxes. It was true that old foxes were shrewd.
Both of them were old monsters who had lived for who knew how many years and had seen all kinds of situations. Therefore, after this round of probing, both of them were a little depressed.
There was nothing they could do about it. Whether it was Ya Dun or Xiao Sheng, they were both slippery old loaches. It was almost impossible to get anything out of them.
Therefore, after probing along the way, the two of them consciously chose to give up. This kind of low-level method was completely useless against old foxes like the two of them.
After giving up on the idea of getting any useful information from Xiao Sheng, Ya Dun took the initiative to change the topic.
"Brother Xiao Sheng, your Sacred Palace's scenery is really picturesque. It's much more beautiful than our Supreme Saint Sect."
"Haha, brother Ya Dun must be joking. What's the use of picturesque scenery? In the end, it still depends on strength. In the future, our Sacred Palace will have to rely on brother Ya Dun and the Supreme Saint Sect to look after us. After all, our Sacred Palace is just a small boat and can't compare to a giant ship like the Supreme Saint Sect," Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
Comparing the Sacred Palace to a small boat and the Supreme Saint Sect to a giant ship, Ya Dun knew that Xiao Sheng was just making things up. One had to know that Xiao Sheng had never shown the slightest respect to the Supreme Saint Sect along the way. Therefore, Ya Dun didn't believe that the Sacred Palace would need the Supreme Saint Sect's help.
