Chapter 239 - Meet

Let alone Zhang Ya, even Elder Song and the others looked at Chen Heng with suspicious looks.

From how they saw it, it was already extremely good that the Flowing Cloud Sect had not been destroyed.

However, Chen Heng only asked for that much?

“I feel that you are all thinking some strange things…”

Sensing everyone’s gazes, Chen Heng shook his head and said softly, “This is just temporary.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ya and the others came to an understanding.

This seemed more understandable to them.

If he had done all of this just to become an Elder, it would not be normal at all.

“How is Junior Apprentice Sister Hou?” Chen Heng turned and looked at Zhang Ya as he asked softly.

“She hasn’t woken up yet and is resting in the carriage.”

Looking at Chen Heng, Zhang Ya shook her head before saying, “It might take a few days for her to wake up.”

“I see,” Chen Heng nodded as he said softly, “Have someone look after her well for the next few days.”

After saying this, he began walking to the side before pausing.

“What is it?” Zhang Ya felt quite curious and asked.

“It’s nothing,” Chen Heng shook his head and did not say anything before leaving.

He increased his pace and led Zhang Ya and the others towards the Flowing Cloud Sect, and he left this area.

After Chen Heng and the others left, a figure slowly walked out.

Gao Yue walked out from the thickets and looked in the direction that the group had left in.

“His senses are so sharp…” she thought to herself, “If I didn’t have that secret treasure covering me, he most likely would have discovered me.”

“Miss, what do we do now?” a young girl followed behind her as she asked.

The situation had changed too much: In just a single day, the Flowing Cloud Sect had become like this. Not only had the six Elders fallen to the Zhang clan’s clan leader, but even the Guardian Formation had been destroyed.

These massive changes surpassed anything that they had expected, making it so that they did not know what to do.

“Now that things have come to this, what can we do?” Gao Yue seemed quite calm as she gave a slight smile, “We will just have to act according to the circumstances. However, after seeing the Zhang clan’s clan leader in action, I feel some more confidence towards things in the future.

“That Zhang clan’s clan leader does not seem like a very difficult person, and he does not seem like he’s very bloodthirsty,” she said as she thought to herself.

“Let’s go.”

After staying there for a bit, she looked into the distance and said softly, “Let’s go and see what changes there will be in the Flowing Cloud Sect.”

Looking at the Flowing Cloud Sect, she gave a slight smile as she thought various things to herself.

Elsewhere, at the command of the Sect Master, all of the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples had gathered.

This included the Elders—with the Flowing Cloud Sect’s higher ups appearing, they were able to keep the disciples in order.

Soon, the terrified Flowing Cloud Sect disciples were settled down, and the scene was no longer as chaotic.

Following this, within the hall, Chen Heng and the others spoke officially.

“I’ve already given the terms.”

Sitting by the side, Chen Heng’s expression was calm, “From today onwards, I will be the Enforcement Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, and I will be the head of the Elders. Does anyone have any objections?”

The other Elders looked at each other before silently shaking their heads.

Of course they did not dare to voice any objections.

Given how powerful and savage Chen Heng was, if they had any objections, they would have some problems.

“Three years.”

Sitting by Chen Heng’s side, Zhang Ya spoke, “According to the agreement between my clan leader and all of you, the position of Sect Master will remain with Sect Master Qiu for now. However, after three years, no matter what, you must pass this position to our clan leader.”

“We have no objections,” the Elders silently thought for a while before nodding.

The timing of the three years had been calculated quite well.

After all, the Sect Master’s condition was not very good—after three years, even if he did not want to give up the position, he would not be able to continue on.

It would be a good time to hand things over to Chen Heng.

Moreover, during these three years, the Zhang clan would have the time to gradually take over the Flowing Cloud Sect and get used to it.

Otherwise, if he directly took the position of Sect Master right now, it would be a bit too rushed and would give rise to many problems.

Taking the position after three years was much better and made it easier for everyone to accept.

Of course, even though he would only officially become the Sect Master after three years, as the Enforcement Elder, he would have much control over the sect.

This was especially so given that the other Elders would not dare to oppose him.

“Those are all of the terms.”

After Zhang Ya said this, all of the Elders let out sighs of relief.

Strictly speaking, Chen Heng had many conditions, but they were not too important.

For example, in the future, the Zhang clan’s members could directly enter the sect, and they would be sent to the Inner Court or Outer Court based on their talent.

This did not matter much.

After all, even before, when the Zhang clan’s members wanted to enter the Flowing Cloud Sect, they would not stop them.

Even the unconscious Hou Juan was their Flowing Cloud Sect’s disciple.

However, what could be foreseen was that once Chen Heng took power, the Zhang clan’s members would be put in important positions, allowing them to gain authority in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

However, if it was just this, no one would complain.

After all, many other people had done similar things in the past.

Of the people present, many of them had only obtained their positions because of their families.

Now, it was the Zhang clan’s turn.

Thinking about that, many of the Elders felt quite complicated.

The origins of this matter was because they wanted to use the demonic cultivator to devour the Zhang clan’s assets.

However, not only had they failed at that, but it was instead the Flowing Cloud Sect that was going to be devoured by the Zhang clan.

This reversal made them feel quite startled and frustrated.

However, they could not do anything about it and had to just accept it.

After the meeting concluded, they all headed out, leaving behind just Chen Heng and Zhang Ya.

“Clan brother.”

Watching those people leave, Zhang Ya let out a breath and looked at Chen Heng.

Even though they had the upper hand, facing the Flowing Cloud Sect’s Sect Master and Elders, Zhang Ya still felt quite nervous.

It couldn’t be helped—all of their cultivations were far superior to hers, and the weakest among them was at the Profound Understanding realm. There were very few people in the Yue Kingdom who dared to offend them.

It could be said that if they wanted to attack her, they just needed a single thought to get rid of her.

All of the people here were people who she used to treat very respectfully in the past.

Facing a group of people like this, she naturally had to be very careful, and she felt great pressure.

After those people left, she could finally relax, and she turned to Chen Heng.

“Are we doing the right thing?”

Looking at Chen Heng, she was as bit hesitant as she spoke, “If clan brother becomes the Sect Master, will the Elders really listen to your commands? What if they don’t listen to you and conspire with others against you?”

“We’ll just have to manage them closely,” Chen Heng shook his head as he said softly, “But as long as we don’t treat them too harshly and take away everything they have, they will not do much. That will be enough for us.”

Chen Heng turned and looked at Zhang Ya as he said, “The Zhang clan’s strength is too weak, while the Flowing Cloud Sect’s strength is too great. If we don’t do this, and instead try to devour the Flowing Cloud Sect in one bite, the Zhang clan will not be able to manage it.

“Even if we manage to do it, it will be very difficult. As such, it’s better to do things stably and gain power in the Flowing Cloud Sect through such a method. After all, the result is the same; the process is just a bit slower.”

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Zhang Ya nodded and smiled, looking somewhat excited, “This is like a dream. In just a day, the massive Flowing Cloud Sect now belongs to the Zhang clan. If the old clan leader finds out about this, he will definitely be very happy.”

She had a big smile on her face, looking very excited.

This was to be expected.

After all, to her, the Flowing Cloud Sect was a massive faction.

Before, becoming an Inner Court Disciple or a True Legacy Disciple had been her goal.

Now, they had not only broken through the Flowing Cloud Sect but were going to devour it whole.

This difference was quite big.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Ya turned and left, leaving behind just Chen Heng.

Sitting there, Chen Heng lowered his head and sank into his thoughts.

He had reached his goal for this operation.

Apart from coming here to find Hou Juan, he also had hopes of devouring the Flowing Cloud Sect.

After all, Chen Heng did not come here to cultivate but to obtain Points.

Since he wanted to obtain Points, he had to do all he could to expand his influence.

Of course, the Flowing Cloud Sect was just the beginning.

After some years passed and the situation in the Flowing Cloud Sect stabilized, with the sect completely within his control, he would begin to unify the Yue Kingdom’s cultivation world.

In order to do this, he had to conquer each of the remaining sects.

The Flowing Cloud Sect was just the first one, but it definitely would not be the last one.

After conquering the three major sects, Chen Heng would be able to unify the Yue Kingdom and expand outwards.

From how things seemed, this first step had gone quite smoothly.

Only after a while did he raise his head and look out.

“Dear guest, you’ve been watching for a while; shouldn’t you be coming in? Just watching in the dark is not very polite,” he said softly, looking quite calm.

After he spoke, there were not any changes, as if he was just being paranoid.

However, after a few moments, some footsteps sounded out as a woman slowly walked over.

She was very beautiful—in terms of looks, Chen Heng’s cousin Zhang Ya was already quite pretty, but even she could not compare to this woman at all.

Just by standing there, even without doing anything, this woman was incredibly breathtaking.

Sitting within the room and watching the woman walk in, Chen Heng instinctively frowned.

“Who are you?” Chen Heng asked.

Chen Heng could sense that this woman was quite unique.

Her strength was not very powerful, and her cultivation was only at the Foundation Building realm.

To other people, Foundation Building strength was quite strong, but to Chen Heng, it was not worth looking at at all.

It was just that her aura was very unique—she was very weak, but she had hidden herself very well, making it so that Chen Heng could not immediately discover her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was too close and was observing him, Chen Heng might not have noticed her.

“The person observing us outside before was also you?”

Sitting there, Chen Heng thought of something and frowned as he asked.

“That’s right,” the woman walked in and stood before Chen Heng as she said respectfully, “This one is Gao Yue; I pay my respects to Mister Zhang…”

“Gao Yue?”

Hearing this name, Chen Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, “There is no such person in the Flowing Cloud Sect.”

Even though he had left the Flowing Cloud Sect, he had gathered much intelligence about the Flowing Cloud Sect.

From Chen Heng’s memories, there was no person named Gao Yue in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

If she was just a minor figure, then that would explain it, but given her unique aura and her bewitching looks, she definitely was not someone who he would not know about.

“I’m just an unimportant person,” Gao Yue said softly, “In the past, I did not use this name. I also have some people in the Flowing Cloud Sect who will cover things up for me, so the name Gao Yue will naturally not spread.”

“So it’s like that.”

Hearing Gao Yue’s explanation, Chen Heng nodded.

“So, who are you? Are you from the Demon Sect? Or from somewhere else?” Chen Heng slowly stood up and asked as he looked at Gao Yue.
