Chen Sheng remained silent.
He already clearly understood the Holy Sect’s distrust of Vermilion Bird.
Among the Four Saints,
Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird both joined during Li Wuji’s reign of power.
Both of them had once been close friends with Li Wuji.
As the Soul Consciousness of Li Wuii, how could the Respected Elder not know?
Now,
Azure Dragon had long since submitted,
White Tiger even regarded the Holy Sect Sect Leader as a god.
Only Vermilion Bird,
Still hadn’t stated their position, just showing an ambiguous attitude.
And as for the Respected Elder,
Although his actions were extreme, he was still continuously advancing towards the goals left by Li Wuji. That was to eliminate the Heavenly Person. Therefore,
For a strong human like Vermilion Bird,
Even if they hadn’t shown submission,
The Respected Elder would at most treat them as a tool man and wouldn’t go too far.
Just that…
“Is it necessary—
Chen Sheng’s words trailed off,
His voice gradually weakened.
He sighed softly.
According to Chen Sheng’s idea,
As long as Li Wuji and others gave him a little time to strengthen himself,
By then,
Even the Respected Elder or the Holy Sect Sect Leader could be easily crushed.
But just as Li Wuji said earlier,
What they are most uncertain about now is time.
Without knowing the specific time when the Respected Elder and others would launch the plan, it was difficult to respond properly.
As for Chen Sheng… even he himself could not guarantee how long it would take to become strong enough to crush the Respected Elder.
One week?
Two weeks?
Chen Sheng was unsure.
With his current strength, he couldn’t even determine the specific Attribute of the Holy Sect Sect Leader.
Let alone their hidden strength and the Respected Elder behind them.
Chen Sheng might be able to hide,
Or he might be able to escape.
But then what?
Hide until the Respected Elder gains control over all the martial artists?
Hide until the enemy uses crowd tactics to fight against the Heavenly Person?
Hide until many of the people he knew were dead?
Or,
Hide until the world is peaceful, until he could destroy the Earth with a snap of his fingers and destroy the Universe before coming out?
How could he guarantee he wouldn’t be discovered during this time?
And how could he guarantee that every time the enemy appeared, he would be stronger than them?
Chen Sheng hated passive defense.
He preferred to master the opponent’s strength and then actively attack.
That’s why,
Understanding the specific plan of Respected Elder and others was a matter of great urgency.
Ancl vermilion Bird’S Plan,
Was to use their “death” to gain the trust of the Holy Sect Sect Leader.
“What about the specifics of the action?”
Chen Sheng looked at Vermilion Bird and asked. “Well, even though we are quite anxious now,”
“But it’s not something we can rush.” “We can’t just attack without anyone knowing.”
As he spoke,
Vermilion Bird crossed his arms defensively, covering his chest.
With a look of disbelief on his face, he stared at Chen Sheng. “Old Chen… could it be… you really want to beat me to death?”
“Could you bear it—
“Get lost! ”
“If you keep babbling, I promise you’ll die right away.” Seeing the veins popping on Chen Sheng’s forehead,
Vermilion Bird felt he might not be joking.
He awkwardly coughed twice and quickly retracted his posture.
Although Chen Sheng wasn’t strong enough to kill him yet,
He didn’t want to be beaten down by him.
“Let’s get to the point, let’s get to the point.”
He waved Chen Sheng over and signaled him to follow. “First, let’s go to the Holy Sect Base near the mission location.”
“I’ll explain the details to you on the way.”
As his words fell,
Vermilion Bird began to stride forward.
His speed might not seem fast,
But with each step, he could instantly traverse tens of meters.
In the blink of an eye,
He turned into a blazing light, speeding across the ground.
Chen Sheng followed closely behind.
With their speed, even if they were just running on the ground, they would not be slower than a plane.
Of course, there was no need to use any means of transportation.
“To gain the trust of Respected Elder and others, it won’t be so easy.” “If you just kill me directly now, it will be too deliberate.”
“But we can do some work during this trip to the Slumbering Land.”
As Chen Sheng charged forward, the surrounding scenery rapidly receded.
All that could be heard was the howling wind around his ears,
But Vermilion Bird’s voice still reached his ears accurately.
“How so?”
Chen Sheng asked in surprise.
He had never been to the so-called Slumbering Land and didn’t know what the situation was like.
Furthermore, the Holy Sect Sect Leader had given the mission so suddenly, In Chen Sheng’s view, it wouldn’t be easy to do anything.
“The Slumbering Land is easier to locate as opposed to the Sealed Land.”
“And it’s different from the Sealed Land.”
“If the danger in the Sealed Land comes from the protective measures left by the ancient humans during their construction,”
“The danger of the Slumbering Land comes from the Heavenly Person itself.”
“The Heavenly Person itself?”
Chen Sheng asked in confusion.
“That’s right.”
Vermilion Bird nodded.
“The aura of the Heavenly Person constantly changes the environment and organisms in their surroundings.”
“Even if it’s not during the Tide Rising Period, many anomalies will appear.”
“For example, places with frequent Aurora, or constant ice-cold weather, or active volcanoes, are all likely to have a Heavenly Person in slumber.”
“But due to the passage of time, the long years have made the slumbering lands of Heavenly Persons go deeper and deeper underground, and the anomalies are no longer as obvious as they were in ancient times.”
“However, the danger still exists.”
“So every time the Slumbering Land is found, the Martial Arts Association will send some experts.”
“Like the direct disciples from the Committee Sects, or even…. the Sect Master themselves..”
