"If Xuan Zhen truly flees toward the Taiyuan Palace, we wouldn’t have a valid justification to step in, would we?" Yang Chen inquired with uncertainty. "What would become of my mission then?"
The group looked at one another and couldn't suppress their laughter. It was likely that Yang Chen was the only individual capable of making Xuan Zhen run for his life.
Lin Tianyi gave a cold smirk. "The Taiyuan Palace is well aware of your situation, Yang Chen. The news of you terrifying Xuan Zhen into a retreat within a mere ten breaths has already permeated the entire human race. Theoretically, our intervention is only permitted if they formally request it. Arriving uninvited would appear improper. However, the solution is straightforward. If Xuan Zhen continues to ravage the Taiyuan Palace's territory and they find themselves overwhelmed, they will inevitably seek Brother Yang Chen’s assistance."
Yang Chen finally felt a sense of relief upon hearing those words.
Han Bo chuckled from the side, "Brother Yang Chen, since you have concluded your seclusion, we should find some time to socialize if you are free."
Naturally, Yang Chen could not decline the invitation. Recognizing that these experts had sought him out immediately upon his emergence out of respect, he gave his consent.
The demeanor of Han Bo and Lin Tianyi toward Yang Chen had shifted significantly for the better. As they sat together, the conversation flowed pleasantly, and they inquired about various matters.
Yang Chen was fully aware of the underlying motives held by Han Bo and Lin Tianyi.
Given his current combat prowess, he was an incredibly valuable asset on all of Bi Shuangxing. Cultivators of the Boundaryless stage were rare and singular existences on this planet.
Furthermore, his ability to intimidate Xuan Zhen into fleeing made his status within the Divine Night Sect’s local forces even more vital.
Han Bo and Lin Tianyi were conscious of the fact that Yang Chen intended to depart once his mission was fulfilled. To persuade him to stay, they naturally sought to deepen their rapport with him.
Their dialogue was largely a series of probes, trying to discern his departure date and whether he might leave before the task was entirely finished.
Though Yang Chen understood their intentions, he had no desire to remain on Bi Shuangxing indefinitely. His plan was to leave the moment Xuan Zhen was slain.
Meanwhile, Xuan Zhen had reached the Taiyuan Palace's domain, sparking waves of terror and chaos. Numerous experts were mobilized to suppress the threat.
Nevertheless, subduing Xuan Zhen proved to be a daunting task. Following several clashes, many powerful figures were either slain or heavily wounded.
Whenever a formidable combatant was deployed against him, Xuan Zhen would flee without the slightest hesitation.
Consequently, several mining regions under the Taiyuan Palace's jurisdiction fell in rapid succession, plunging the organization into a crisis.
Left with no other options, the Taiyuan Palace was forced to petition the Divine Night Sect for aid, remembering that it was Yang Chen who had originally driven Xuan Zhen to target their lands.
When this development reached Han Bo and Lin Tianyi, the two laughed joyfully and immediately went to find Yang Chen.
"Haha, Brother Yang Chen, it has happened! The representatives from Taiyuan Palace have arrived to beg for your help," Han Bo announced with a laugh.
Standing beside Yang Chen, Ji Yue Shuang tightened her small fist and let out a huff. "So those people from Taiyuan Palace finally realized they need our Divine Night Sect? It’s quite satisfying to see they couldn't even hold out for a few days."
"Hahaha, Junior Sister, we are of the same mind. Seeing the Taiyuan Palace lower themselves to ask for our help is truly gratifying," Lin Tianyi added, his face beaming with happiness.
Han Bo teased, "This is all thanks to Brother Yang Chen. He has truly allowed our Divine Night Sect to vent our frustrations. By the way, Brother Yang Chen, when do you intend to set out? Honestly, you could just let those Taiyuan Palace people wait for a while. They are usually quite arrogant, so there is no need to show them any courtesy."
Yang Chen replied with a calm expression, "There is no need for that. It is better to eliminate Xuan Zhen quickly to prevent any unforeseen complications."
His focus was entirely on Xuan Zhen, and he had no interest in playing political games with the others.
"If that is your wish, then so be it. Brother Yang Chen shall make the decision. Haha, let us depart." Han Bo led the way.
"I am coming as well! I want to witness exactly how Yang Chen suppresses Xuan Zhen," Ji Yue Shuang stated, following closely behind him.
While Han Bo and Lin Tianyi hadn't planned on bringing a large entourage, they couldn't refuse their junior sister's request to join.
Before long, the group reached Shi Ye City, the primary stronghold of the Taiyuan Palace on Bi Shuangxing.
Shi Ye City served as the heart of human influence on the planet, surrounded by the most prosperous mining operations, all governed by the Taiyuan Palace.
As they descended toward the city, two seniors from the Taiyuan Palace hurried out to welcome them.
These two Elders possessed snowy eyebrows and long white beards, both having attained the Heaven-separated Realm. Upon meeting, they greeted the visitors warmly. "Brother Han Bo, Brother Lin, you have finally arrived. Might we ask which of you is the esteemed Yang Chen?"
Observing their desperation and immediate inquiry regarding Yang Chen, Han Bo realized that the Taiyuan Palace must have been pushed to the brink by Xuan Zhen recently.
He chuckled and gestured, "This is Yang Chen."
Yang Chen clasped his hands in greeting. "Greetings to the two seniors."
"Is this truly Daoist friend Yang Chen?" The two Elders looked on with shock, clearly taken aback.
They had imagined Yang Chen to be a Boundaryless cultivator with centuries of experience; how else could he have bested Xuan Zhen?
Yet, the person before them appeared remarkably young.
Nevertheless, they could not dispute his identity and quickly said, "Ah, so this is Daoist friend Yang Chen. Truly, you are young and full of promise. Please, everyone, let us head inside to discuss the details!"
With those words, the two Elders ushered the group into the city.
During the walk, Han Bo introduced the Elders to Yang Chen, identifying them as high-ranking figures of the Taiyuan Palace known as King Jin Jue and King Bai Ku.
Once inside, King Bai Ku and King Jin Jue treated them with the utmost hospitality, providing premium tea and wine while maintaining polite smiles. Their humble attitude in seeking assistance was impeccable.
"Daoist friend Yang Chen, Brother Han Bo, let us be direct. We all understand that the presence of Xuan Zhen from the Spirit God Royal Clan is a menace to all humanity. If we do not wipe him out, his continued existence will only lead to catastrophe. Thus, we must stand united to destroy our common foe," King Bai Ku declared with an air of righteousness.
Hearing this, Han Bo and Lin Tianyi struggled to contain their laughter.
Junior Sister Ji Yue Shuang couldn't help but let a smile slip, though she quickly masked it.
These men spoke with such grand virtue now, but where was this righteous spirit when Xuan Zhen was attacking the Divine Night Sect?
Only now that the Taiyuan Palace was the one in trouble did they find such beautiful words to say.
