Such a simple sentence was enough to give Sect Leader Cui and the rest an obvious hint. Yang Chen definitely had an extraordinary relationship with the experts of the Dragon Clan. At the very least, they had drunk together quite a few times before this. As for whether or not they had a deeper relationship, it was hard to say.
However, this was enough for Yang Chen. This would allow the people of the Five Elements Sect to clearly understand the current situation and also allow them to make the right choice at the right time.
Sect Leader Cui was indeed finding it harder and harder to see through Yang Chen. If it wasn't for Yang Chen, the Five Elements Sect might have become the biggest joke in the Spiritual Realm and be completely controlled by the Zhao Clan.
Elder Feng was almost too ashamed to see Sect Leader Cui now, much less face Yang Chen and the Murong sisters. He could only continue to torture the Zhao Clan father and son. He almost flew into a rage out of humiliation. This time, the Zhao Clan father and son were not only the prisoners who dug out the secrets of the Zhao Clan, but also the targets of Elder Feng's anger.
When a seventh stage Xuan Immortal expert hardened his heart to dig out some secrets from someone's mouth, even Zhao Haoxuan and his son had no choice but to speak up. Especially when Elder Feng completely let go of his reservedness as an expert and directly transformed himself into the most vicious demon, the outcome was even more unsurprising.
The Zhao Clan father and son were also unlucky. Who knew that just the idea of touching the magic treasure left behind by their ancestor or the few Human Immortal disciples who were willing to hand it over would cause such a change. When they couldn't even die even if they wanted to, it was only natural for them to break down.
The first to break down was Zhao Zhisheng, who had a slightly lower cultivation, followed by Zhao Haoxuan. Under Elder Feng's personal torture, he began to reveal the arrangements that the father and son had made in the Five Elements Sect over the years. At the same time, he also revealed some of the secrets of the Zhao Clan.
The latest confession would be sent to Sect Leader Cui at any time. After Sect Leader Cui took a look, he would immediately pass it to Ao Lie respectfully without hiding anything.
To Ao Lie's surprise, the father and son of the Zhao Family had already told him all the most embarrassing things they had done, but they still did not know the inside story about the dragon puppet. The father and son had only learned from Yang Chen that their ancestor had once set up a mid-stage Golden Immortal dragon puppet in the trial ground. They knew nothing about it before, and they didn't even know about the other nine Profound Immortal experts sealed in the formation.
Elder Feng, who was in charge of the interrogation, almost went crazy. Even now, the Zhao father and son still spoke in such a tone about the dragon puppet. How were they going to explain this to the Dragon Clan?
Ao Lie was merely a Heavenly Immortal expert. Even though the Dragon Race was strong, the many Supreme Mystic Immortal experts of the Five Elements Sect were still able to suppress him. However, the mysterious expert hiding behind Ao Lie was simply everyone's nightmare. That expert hadn't even made an appearance, and he'd only released a tiny bit of his aura, yet it caused Elder Feng, who was at the seventh rank of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, to almost collapse.
These were only the two that were exposed to the public. Who knew how many more were hidden in the dark? A Golden Immortal expert of the Dragon Race had been refined into a puppet. If he was a member of the Dragon Race, he would also do his best to investigate this matter.
The strength that the Dragon Race had already shown was enough to pose a great threat to the Five Elements Sect. If those legendary experts of the Dragon Race were included, it was not impossible for the Five Elements Sect to be annihilated. It was absolutely impossible for the Five Elements Sect to pay for the mistake of the Zhao father and son.
If there was no explanation for the dragon puppet, the Dragon Race would vent their anger on the Five Elements Sect, and he, Elder Feng, would be the biggest culprit. This matter was originally caused by the Murong sisters, and they should be the ones to explain it to the Dragon Race. Based on the relationship between Yang Chen and the Murong sisters, Yang Chen would definitely accept this karma no matter what. Based on the relationship between Yang Chen and that expert of the Dragon Race, there would be room for an explanation no matter what.
However, it just so happened that Elder Feng himself had gone crazy. He had actually foolishly supported Yang Haoxuan's plan to seize the dragon puppet for his son. He had even gone as far as to support Yang Haoxuan to depose the Sect Master. In the end, he had singlehandedly picked on the dragon puppet's karma and almost caused a grave mistake.
However, no matter what methods Elder Feng used, the Zhao father and son still did not say anything about the matter of the dragon puppet. By the time he exhausted all his methods, Elder Feng had no choice but to believe that the Zhao father and son really did not know the secret behind it.
"Sect Master, this old man is incompetent. I have specially come to ask for forgiveness!" Elder Feng, who was at his wit's end, could only bring this result to Sect Master Cui to ask for forgiveness.
This result did not even satisfy Sect Master Cui, much less the Dragon Race. However, this was clearly not the time to pursue Elder Feng's crimes. Under his helplessness, Sect Master Cui could only look towards Yang Chen for help.
Now, a batch of the experts that the Five Elements Sect had planted in the trial grounds had returned to the Sect. During this period of half a month, Sect Master Cui had completely grasped the Sect tightly in his hands. In addition to Elder Feng's atonement, it was impossible for the Five Elements Sect to have any major changes. Those fellows who had followed the Zhao father and son to participate in the forced abdication had now been arrested according to the Sect's rules and handed over to the Disciplinary Hall to be dealt with.
Yang Chen was drinking with Ao Lie. Naturally, he could not easily ask for help at this time. Sect Master Cui could only beat around the bush and give him some hints. No matter what, Yang Chen had helped the Five Elements Sect to expose the Zhao father and son's plot and had also saved Sect Master Cui. He could be considered as Sect Master Cui's great benefactor. No matter what, he had to repay him.
Sect Master Cui's way of expressing his gratitude was to take the Murong sisters as his disciples and make them his direct disciples. Using this matter to discuss with Yang Chen was not surprising at all. At the same time, if Yang Chen was smart, he should be able to sense the hint that Sect Master Cui was giving him.
What made Sect Master Cui feel relieved was that Yang Chen really understood the hint of Sect Master Cui and began to persuade Ao Lie.
"Senior Ao, perhaps those two fellows really don't know anything about this matter." Yang Chen said to Ao Lie, "The Great Sect has captured so many members of the Zhao family but none of them knew anything about the nine sealing formations. I believe that the Zhao father and son are no exception. They're not in the Zhao family so it's normal that they don't know anything about it. "
Ao Lie naturally knew how to cooperate with Yang Chen. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly nodded his head. However, he still raised the Dragon Clan's request, "Hand those two over to me. Furthermore, I want to take the five little girls who had been controlling the dragon puppets from the beginning!"
"They are this junior's women. Can Senior make an exception for this junior's sake?" Yang Chen did not wait for Sect Master Cui's reply and immediately said to Ao Lie, "They're not the main culprits. It's better to find the real culprit."
