An indescribable light flickered in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
Only Adon himself knew that there was a touch of bitterness and seriousness in his heart. He had thought that the Sacred Palace was just a newly established quasi-saint sect. Even if it had a quasi-saint great sovereign overseeing it, there would still be a gap in overall strength between it and an established quasi-saint sect like the Supreme God Sect.
However, what Adon didn't expect was that the Sacred Palace wasn't as weak as he had imagined. Apart from the two quasi-saint great sovereigns, Xiao Sheng and Mengjie, the Sacred Palace Chosen were also extremely strong.
Based on the Sacred Palace Chosen's battle strength, Adon could easily guess that the other disciples of the Sacred Palace wouldn't be too weak either. At least, they wouldn't be as weak as he had imagined.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Sacred Palace was fully qualified to contend with an established quasi-saint sect like the Supreme God Sect.
Looking at the fierce battle between Chen Ling and Ke Suo, Ke Suo was the third Chosen of the Supreme God Sect, but he couldn't gain the slightest advantage over Chen Ling.
Even with Adon's eyesight, it was difficult to tell who would win in the end. However, even if there was a victor, it would definitely be a pyrrhic victory. There was even a possibility that both sides would suffer heavy losses.
After personally witnessing the Sacred Palace, Adon had to admit that the Sacred Palace was indeed not to be underestimated. Based on the strength that the Sacred Palace had displayed so far, Adon had to treat them with caution.
The Sacred Palace was no longer the new quasi-saint sect that Adon had guessed could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.
In the face of such a Sacred Palace, Aton was not strong enough. If the Supreme Divine Sect really wanted to attack the Sacred Palace, the Heavenly Saint Sect would have no problem winning in the end. However, it was undeniable that the Supreme Divine Sect would have to pay a painful price.
Was it really worth it to pay such a painful price for the sake of the Sacred Palace? This was a question that Adon had to consider.
Of course, Ya Dun believed that the Supreme Divine Sect would definitely win because he had only considered the strength that the Sacred Palace had displayed so far. If Ya Dun had known that the Sacred Palace had more than two quasi-Saint supreme venerates, he probably wouldn't have thought so.
But even so, Ya Dun had completely given up on the idea of attacking the Sacred Palace. He had no choice. The Sacred Palace's appearance had changed the situation in the North Star Boundary. As a wise old man, how could Ya Dun allow the Supreme Divine Sect to take the lead?
One had to know that if the Supreme Deity Sect and the Sacred Palace really fought to the death and both sides suffered heavy losses, the other five quasi-saint sects would be the happiest. This was the situation that Aton was most unwilling to see.
As for Wang Qifeng and the Fallen River Sacred Sect, how could Ya Dun not know that Wang Qifeng was trying to sow discord? Although he didn't know the reason, Ya Dun knew right from the start that Wang Qifeng had come looking for him and told him about the Sacred Palace in order to get the Supreme Divine Sect to deal with the Sacred Palace.
Unfortunately, the Sacred Palace's strength had exceeded Arden's expectations, so he gave up on the idea.
He wasn't going to attack the Sacred Palace anymore. After all, there wasn't any conflict of interest between the two sides, and it wouldn't do him any good to act rashly.
Looking at Chen Ling and Ke Suo, who were still locked in a stalemate, Ya Dun could tell that the two of them had already gone all out. Every blow that landed was terrifyingly powerful.
Watching the two of them fiercely fighting, Ya Dun suddenly said, "Alright, it's just a spar. Both of you can stop."
After stopping Chen Ling and Ke Suo's battle, Ke Suo was the first to stop and took the initiative to retreat. Seeing this, Chen Ling didn't continue to tangle with Ke Suo and also chose to stop.
He didn't let the two of them continue fighting because Ya Dun knew that there was no point in continuing. The two of them were close in strength, and it would be very difficult to determine the victor.
As the battle stopped, Ya Dun turned to look at Xiao Sheng and smiled. "Haha, as expected of an outstanding disciple from a famous sect. The Chosen of the Sacred Palace has really opened my eyes."
"The Chosen of the Supreme Deity Sect isn't bad either." Hearing this, Xiao Sheng smiled.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Soon after, the crowd resumed their rescue. For some reason, Ya Dun didn't continue to probe the Sacred Palace and instead drank and chatted merrily with Xiao Sheng. It felt as if he was really there to congratulate the Sacred Palace.
Ya Dun and Xiao Sheng chatted happily throughout the banquet. In the end, Ya Dun took the initiative to bid farewell and invited Xiao Sheng to visit the Supreme Divine Sect as a guest.
"Brother Xiao Sheng, all good things must come to an end. The two of us drank to our hearts' content this time. If you have time in the future, feel free to come to the Supreme Divine Sect. I will personally welcome you, brother Xiao Sheng." Ya Dun smiled.
Xiao Sheng smiled at Ya Dun's words. "It's rare for brother Ya Dun to come here. How can you not stay for a few more days?"
He wanted Ya Dun to stay on the Heavenly Chen Continent for a few more days, but Ya Dun shook his head with a smile. "No, thank you for your kindness, brother Xiao Sheng. There will be plenty of time in the future."
Since Ya Dun insisted on leaving, Xiao Sheng naturally wouldn't force him to stay. The two old foxes tried to outwit each other. In the end, when Ya Dun led his people onto the Supreme Divine Sect's starship, he suddenly turned to look at Xiao Sheng and smiled.
"Brother Xiao Sheng, we hit it off at first sight. There are some things I don't want to hide from you. In fact, the Supreme Divine Sect was only able to learn about the Sacred Palace so quickly because of the Fallen River Holy Sect's sect master, Wang Qifeng. He came to see me. Alright, brother Xiao Sheng, farewell."
Without waiting for Xiao Chen's reply, Ya Dun immediately boarded the starship and left with the group of powerhouses from the Supreme Deity Sect.
Watching the Supreme Divine Sect's starship soar into the sky, Xiao Sheng stood in the sky with a faint smile on his face.
How could Xiao Sheng not understand Ya Dun's intentions? It was a classic attempt to sow discord and have the Sacred Palace attack the Fallen River Holy Sect.
Although Ya Dun had already given up on attacking the Sacred Palace, he was still very happy to cause some trouble for the Sacred Palace.
Moreover, Wang Qifeng and the Fallen River Holy Sect were both from the Human Race. If the Sacred Palace attacked the Fallen River Holy Sect, the Supreme Divine Sect wouldn't suffer any losses. They were naturally happy to see that happen.
Xiao Sheng didn't doubt the truth of Ya Dun's words. He believed that Wang Qifeng had really gone to see Ya Dun. Moreover, Xiao Sheng had already guessed what Wang Qifeng had said to Ya Dun. Otherwise, how could the Supreme Divine Sect have learned about the Sacred Palace so quickly?
A cold light flashed in Xiao Sheng's eyes. He muttered softly, then turned around and returned to the Sacred Palace.
"It seems that the Fallen River Holy Sect won't give up until they see the coffin. But that's fine too. It'll give the Sacred Palace an excuse."
Xiao Sheng returned to the central peak of the Sacred Palace. In the main hall of the central peak, he summoned Dipamkara and Bing Lian. The four patriarchs sat together in a circle. Clearly, they had something to discuss.
