The ten Sect Masters gave Yang Chen enough face this time. Not only did they come in person, but they also came in accordance with Yang Chen's request. They came in private and secretly. Even some of the elders of their Sect did not know about it.
Chunyang Palace also put on a grand scene. Of course, the grandeur was only relative to those who knew about it. Moreover, it was only after they arrived at the mountain gate that they were well-received. People outside did not know that Chunyang Palace had received such ten VIPs.
Even inside Chunyang Palace, except for Yang Chen's family and several core executives, no one knew that the ten Sect Masters had come to Chunyang Palace. The disciples in charge of reception only knew that the Palace Master had asked them to receive them carefully, but he did not let them know the identity of the guests.
The Sect Masters of Taoism, Demon Sect, and Demon Sect stood face to face. This was a major event that could not be achieved even when the Taitianmen were annihilated. At that time, the Sect Masters of each Sect were in charge of the Sect. Now, because of Yang Chen, everyone gathered in the small Chunyang Palace. If people knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.
Without the Taitianmen, coupled with the tacit understanding of each Sect during the annihilation of the Taitianmen, these Sect Masters did not fight together. In the past, this was something that was unimaginable. Taoism and Demon Sect could not coexist. When did the Sect Master of Yin Yang Demon School and the Sect Master of Blue Cloud Sect meet so peacefully?
However, it was done in Chunyang Palace. Not only that, when they met each other, everyone had a warm smile on their faces. They cupped their hands and bowed to each other. It was a harmonious and great scene.
"Thanks to Master Yang, this is the first time I've met Sect Master Ye. It's an honor to meet you!"
"I didn't expect that we would meet one day. My apologies for not recognizing you!"
…
If one did not know the identity of these Sect Masters, others would definitely think that they were old friends meeting when they saw such a scene. Who would know that these were the heads of several big forces that were at odds with each other?
It was impossible for Yang Chen not to reveal any inside information in front of so many Sect Masters of the Great Sect. These Sect Masters were not like the higher-ups of Chunyang Palace who trusted Yang Chen. If he wanted them to believe him, he had to show them something.
However, Yang Chen's performance made the head of the palace feel strange. Even in front of so many sect masters, Yang Chen's statement was still the same as when he was in front of them, he couldn't say it.
"It's true that we're expanding our territory, but I can't say where exactly." Facing the ten Sect Leaders, Yang Chen did not seem to feel any pressure at all. Instead, he acted as though he was a junior and spoke to the Sect Leaders calmly.
In this regard, the head of the palace was puzzled. Did Yang Chen not want to do this? Why did he still have such an attitude in front of these sect leaders?
The head of the palace did not understand, but the ten Sect Masters did not blame Yang Chen, they just frowned one by one.
It had to be said that this was the difference between a big Sect and a small Sect. For the people of a small Sect, it was already good to have a few people go to the Demon Continent to gain experience. Naturally, when they came back, they would abide by the Heart Demon Oath and would not reveal the situation of the Demon Continent. On the other hand, the big Sect always had a way to sacrifice a few pawns, and they could get most of the information that was not detailed but had a concept.
Yang Chen said that he couldn't say it, but the Sect Masters of these big Sect who came already knew where Yang Chen was referring to. Which Sect Master was not a smart person, with a few hints, they understood the target.
However, was the environment of the Demon Continent really suitable for sending people to take risks? On this point, everyone expressed their doubts. It couldn't be helped, they were not the head of the palace and the core high-level. For Yang Chen, they had more respect and thought of winning him over, but they did not have much trust.
If it weren't for Yang Chen's reputation as a fifth-grade alchemist master, these Sect Masters would not come at all. Of course, it was also related to Yang Chen's wives and concubines. They were all important figures in the Sect, and they had to consider their thoughts. Even if Yang Chen invited them to come over just to talk nonsense, at most, it would be a wasted trip, but they could gain the hearts of their disciples, so it was not a loss at all.
Yang Chen just said a sentence, and it made the Sect Masters fall into silence. No one spoke for a long time, and they were all speculating in their hearts about the intention of Yang Chen to say this and the possibility of this operation.
For the expansion of the territory of their own Sect, none of the Sect Masters present was unwilling. If it was done, this was not just a matter of benefits, but also a huge gain in reputation and prestige. But if they had to pay a huge price for this, it would be another matter.
There must be sacrifices in the expansion of territory. There was no doubt about this. No one was the kind of idealist who thought that a person could get a large piece of territory without dying, and no one thought that they could grasp this benefit in their hands without paying a little price. What everyone was worried about was nothing more than the comparison between the cost and the benefit.
The Demon Continent was not an ordinary place. Not only were there Demonized Monster Beasts, but there were also raging Demonic Qi. This made it so that except for the masters who needed life and death experiences to increase their cultivation, other cultivators were not willing to go there to cultivate. It was too fierce and inconsistent with the purpose of cultivation.
However, if the Demon Continent could really be occupied, it would definitely be a huge breakthrough for the respective Sect. It was so much so that even if these people met the leaders of their sects after they ascended, they could still stand up straight and proudly tell them that they had brought glory to their sects.
Everything depended on whether Yang Chen's words were trustworthy or not. However, everyone knew that due to the Great Heart Demon Oath, Yang Chen would certainly not say a word about the internal situation of the Demon Continent. Now that he could inform them together, it had already shown his attitude. What was needed now was their decision as the Sect Master. Whether to be a pioneer and leave a lasting legacy or a mediocre defender, it depended on their trust in Yang Chen.
In this regard, the Sect Masters of the four major Dao Sects had a small advantage. Their disciples were the people around Yang Chen, and Yang Chen would not harm them. Although the Demon Sect Yin Yang Demon School and Wuji Demon School both had some connections with Yang Chen, it was impossible for Lady Fanghua to let the Sect Master know her close relationship with Yang Chen, and Ye Zhenxiong would not confide in Yang Chen just because of Ye Yu. The Demon Sect was suspicious, it was not just a saying.
As for the people of the Monster Race and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, their relationship with Yang Chen was at most that they had bought Yang Chen's medicinal pills and had contact with the ancient books of the Zhao Family Manor, and there were no other deeper relationships. A stranger gave a big gift for no reason, who dared to risk the future of the Sect?
The four major Dao Sects were all here, who knew if this was a means for one Dao Sect to attack the other? There was no reason to be courteous, it was a thief!
