"What did the Sect Master say?"
Standing outside, looking at Zhang Ya walking out of the spirit garden, the Flowing Cloud Sect's Elders' eyes lit up as they walked up and asked.
"The Sect Master did not agree."
After walking out of the spirit garden, Zhang Ya's expression was calm as she looked at the elders standing in front of her. She did not feel surprised at all and only shook her head as she said, "The Sect Master does not seem to be very interested in participating in the battle."
"Ai …"
Hearing Zhang Ya's words, the Elders all sighed, seeming to be disappointed.
"The Sect Master has missed a good opportunity this time.
Now that the Heaven Brightness Sect is fighting with the Demon Extermination Sect, it is a good opportunity for us to get involved.
"Thanks to the Sect Master, our Flowing Cloud Sect's strength has greatly increased over the past few decades. Perhaps we cannot compare to the Heaven Brightness Sect or the Demon Extermination Sect, but we are not ordinary sects.
"This battle is a good opportunity for us to leave the Yue Kingdom and obtain even more spirit veins."
In front of Zhang Ya, the Elders all lightly sighed, feeling that it was a pity.
Some of these people were the Flowing Cloud Sect's Elders from before, and some were Profound Understanding experts that Chen Heng had recruited.
Over the past few decades, the Flowing Cloud Sect had continuously developed and had completely subdued this group of people from back then.
This was why Chen Heng had done so well.
Back when Chen Heng had entered the Flowing Cloud Sect, he had taken away their foundation and benefits. However, over the next few decades, as the Flowing Cloud Sect had expanded and destroyed all of the other sects, these losses had long since been made up for, and they had even greatly increased.
This was especially so after the Yue Kingdom's royal family had been taken over by the Flowing Cloud Sect and new rules had been enacted. As a result, the Yue Kingdom's population had greatly increased, and the various resources had become much more abundant.
Adding on the fact that everything in the Yue Kingdom had been taken over by the Flowing Cloud Sect, the resources that had been shared by hundreds of factions in the past had become something that only one faction could enjoy.
Even though the Yue Kingdom was not very big, it was not an ordinary kingdom either. All of the resources in the Yue Kingdom belonged to the Flowing Cloud Sect, and the resources were enough to make people feel envious.
As Elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect, even if they only obtained some leftover resources from the development of the Flowing Cloud Sect, it would be enough to make up for their losses and even make a great profit.
With the benefits and the Flowing Cloud Sect's rise to the top, their resistance towards Chen Heng had long since disappeared.
His attitude changed very quickly.
Of course, this was also because Chen Heng was a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
As a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, Chen Heng had the right to inherit the Flowing Cloud Sect.
No matter how low the qualification was, having it and not having it were two different things.
With these conditions, Chen Heng had long since obtained the recognition of the Flowing Cloud Sect's Sect Master.
However, it seemed that because of the development over the past few decades, some people in the Flowing Cloud Sect had become very eager to expand.
After all, in the past few decades, it was under Chen Heng's leadership that the Flowing Cloud Sect had come this far.
From the very beginning, during the Flowing Cloud Sect's rise to the top, hundreds of ordinary factions had been destroyed.
Every time a faction was destroyed, the entire Sky Cloud Martial School would be able to obtain a lot of benefits from the corpses of the new faction. Not only would the disciples and elders who participated in the battle receive a considerable amount of rewards, even the ordinary disciples would receive spirit stones.
This had become a habit for the Flowing Cloud Sect's disciples to expand.
This sort of determination and hard work had been formed over the past few decades, and it had affected many people.
It was just that after unifying Vietnam, Chen Heng's style had changed, and he had gone from a large-scale expansion to a defensive development.
Following this, the voices within the Flowing Cloud Sect that advocated for expansion did not stop, and they instead became more and more intense.
However, Chen Heng had never paid any attention to them and focused on cultivating and developing Yue.
Now that the Heavenly Fate Sect and the Demon Extermination Sect had invited the Flowing Cloud Sect to participate, these people felt that this was a great opportunity.
This was why the Flowing Cloud Sect's Elders had come here to see what Chen Heng was thinking.
It was a pity that Chen Heng's choice was the same as before, and he did not care about this opportunity at all.
"What a pity, what a pity …"
Standing there, one of the elders looked quite reluctant and said with deep pity, "I heard that the battle between the Demon Extermination Sect and the Heaven Illumination Sect has reached its climax.
"If we are willing to participate, in order to rope us in, the two sects will definitely offer all sorts of great conditions. Perhaps they will even give us a small kingdom's territory.
"If we miss this opportunity, it will be too late when the Heaven Illumination Sect and the Demon Extermination Sect decide a victor.
"The Sect Master is being too conservative."
The other person nodded and sighed.
They were all quite unwilling to accept Chen Heng's decision, but they did not dare to openly protest. They could only silently look up at Zhang Ya.
"Miss Ya, do you have any ideas?"
All of the Elders looked at Zhang Ya with fervent expressions and said respectfully, "If we join the battle now, it will be of great benefit to the Flowing Cloud Sect. Miss Ya, would you be able to persuade the Sect Leader?"
"It won't be possible in the short term."
Zhang Ya shook her head and looked at the Elders as she said softly, "It's not that you don't understand the Sect Master's personality.
"His refusal won't change in the short term."
Even if I want to persuade him, I will have to wait until next time. "
"What a pity, what a pity."
Hearing Zhang Ya's words, the Elders could not help but shake their heads, looking quite emotional.
If it was not for the fact that they were worried about Chen Heng's attitude, they would have charged in and tried to persuade Chen Heng.
If it was the Flowing Cloud Sect's Sect Master in the past, they might have dared to do such a thing.
It was a pity that none of them dared to do such a thing to Chen Heng.
After sighing for a long time, they could only plead with Zhang Ya to persuade Chen Heng, not daring to say anything else.
Only after a while did they turn and leave, all of them sighing and feeling quite disappointed.
In a corner not too far away, a figure silently appeared. It was an extremely handsome young man.
The young man's expression was calm as he stood there, looking at the Elders in the distance as he thought to himself.
Under his gaze, the Elders in the distance seemed quite unique.
Within the nothingness, there was black tribulation qi everywhere, looking quite unique.
At that moment, there was already a lot of tribulation qi descending on those people's bodies.
In other words, these people had long since been affected by the tribulation qi and were half people who had entered the tribulation.
"Interesting."
Seeing this, Chen Heng could not help but smile.
The situation in front of him was undoubtedly very interesting to him.
In the past, he had experienced many worlds, but this was the first time he had experienced a tribulation like this.
Observing the entire process from the beginning to the end of this great tribulation should be very beneficial to his cultivation of the Dao of Destiny.
In fact, it would be useful for him to learn from what was happening in the real world.
From how Chen Heng saw it, everything that was happening in the real world was very similar to the tribulation that was brewing in this world.
Perhaps observing this tribulation would give him some inspiration and help him find a way to resolve the situation in the real world.
"From the current situation, it seems that we are currently in the midst of a tribulation."
Standing there, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he thought to himself, "From my current situation, if I want to escape from this tribulation, I should give up my position as the Flowing Cloud Sect's Sect Master and go to a barren land to seal myself for decades. That should be the best choice.
The terrifying thing about a tribulation was that as long as one was still in the human world, there was nowhere to hide.
After all, the tribulation's range was simply too great, and its effects were too great.
Perhaps one's heart and mind might be complete, and one's cultivation might not be affected by the tribulation qi, but the people around one would be affected.
When the people around one were swept into the tribulation, even if one was not affected by the tribulation qi, one would have to take the initiative to enter the tribulation.
It was just like how Chen Heng was currently.
Indeed, he was not affected by the tribulation qi, but the people around him were not.
Within the massive Flowing Cloud Sect, there were not many people who were not affected by the tribulation qi.
This was just like the Elders who had called for battle.
Right now, they were only calling for battle, but as time went on, if Chen Heng did not respond to their wishes, they would feel dissatisfied sooner or later.
At that time, under the great calamity, these dissatisfactions would be magnified at the appropriate time, and it would produce unexpected consequences.
If Chen Heng did not want the entire Flowing Cloud Sect to be dragged into this, he would have to personally suppress those Elders.
However, if that was the case, there would definitely be chaos within Yue, and the outcome would be the same.
As such, as long as one was in the human world and had karma with others, one would not be able to avoid it.
This was the same for Chen Heng.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
It was impossible for him to abandon his position as the Flowing Cloud Sect's Sect Master and avoid the tribulation by himself.
Putting aside the fact that he wanted to observe the great calamity, even if it was for his purpose, he could not just abandon the Flowing Cloud Sect.
He had expended so much effort to take over the Flowing Cloud Sect; was it not so that he could obtain more Points during the settlement?
If he took the initiative to abandon the Flowing Cloud Sect, all of his efforts would have been wasted.
There was no need for that.
After all, it was just a clone, so it was fine to abandon it.
It did not matter.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng silently turned and prepared to return to his residence.
