CHAPTER 1656: CHAPTER 377:

So, they couldn’t openly refuse Immortal Bi Yue, and could only find an excuse.

They are all senior members of the Dragon Chant Sect, how could they not know that if the Sect Hierarch wanted to verify the presence of those alchemy ingredients, he didn’t need to check personally and could just inquire with the Elder managing the treasury?

Clearly, the Sect Hierarch had something to discuss with them, and he specifically wanted to keep Immortal Bi Yue behind, fearing that she might side with outsiders.

Although Immortal Bi Yue belonged to the Dragon Chant Sect, her relationship with Cao Zhen was well known by everyone.

Previously, Cao Zhen was not at all worthy of Immortal Bi Yue’s attention.

But now, with the Hundred Peaks Sect having become the Hundred Peaks Sect, and with Cao Zhen being the sect leader of a Great Teaching and a reincarnated Great Ability, he could definitely be a match for Immortal Bi Yue.

Perhaps, once Immortal Bi Yue’s elder awakens, they might consent to their union, allowing them to become Dao companions?

There’s a saying among mortals that a married daughter is like water spilled out.

Moreover, when people from the Hundred Peaks Sect previously went outside the ruins to hunt down members of the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect and the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, Bi Yue didn’t hesitate to go directly.

If they truly brought Immortal Bi Yue into the discussion, it’s possible whatever strategy they just discussed would immediately be secretly relayed to Cao Zhen by her, preventing them from being cautious.

Seeing that everyone was going to discuss matters behind her back, Immortal Bi Yue furrowed her brows tightly, showing a trace of displeasure on her face, and just as she was about to speak, from a distance, Cao Zhen’s voice came over.

"Bi Yue, the Elders are right, and since we haven’t met for a while, I also have things to discuss with you."

As Cao Zhen spoke, he waved at Immortal Bi Yue. He could tell that these people from the Dragon Chant Sect wanted to discuss matters without her presence, and he understood that Bi Yue had good intentions for him, so he wanted to follow up.

He didn’t know what the others would do if Bi Yue insisted on staying, but he didn’t want to make Immortal Bi Yue uncomfortable.

Seeing that Cao Zhen had spoken, Bi Yue could only turn away, walk towards him, and sighed, "They are blatantly trying to take advantage of you. Why don’t you let me go?"

"Letting you go would make things difficult for you, wouldn’t it? After all, you are still a member of the Dragon Chant Sect. This time, I came here to conduct a trade with your sect, and if they want you to step aside, then step aside.

Even if they try to take advantage, they cannot raise the price to the extent that I would have to sell the entire Hundred Peaks Sect to them, right? Moreover, over the years, your Dragon Chant Sect has indeed helped our Hundred Peaks Sect quite a bit.

Besides, I came prepared this time. Your Dragon Chant Sect has many Divine Dragons, and you must value them greatly, don’t you?"

Bi Yue nodded slightly, "That’s right, and perhaps even more than you think. To put it this way, currently, those powerful Divine Dragons are all asleep. Although the remaining Divine Dragons can speak human words, they are still too naïve, so they do not get involved in the affairs of our Dragon Chant Sect.

However, once the Divine Dragons equivalent to the Immortality Regainment Realm awaken, they will be involved in many decisions of our sect."

"That’s good. Bi Yue, could you do me a favor and find a Divine Dragon, one who can speak for the Dragon Clan?"

"Alright." Immortal Bi Yue did not hesitate, promptly turning around and leaving.

The Sect Hierarch of the Dragon Chant Sect led everyone out of the conference hall and did not stop, but continued flying to a secluded place before stopping. He set up a Sound Isolation Spell and then turned to ask the oldest-looking gentleman in the crowd, who had graying hair, "Elder Hu, do we have all the alchemy ingredients Cao Zhen mentioned in our Dragon Chant Sect?"

Elder Hu did not hesitate a bit and immediately nodded, "Yes, we have them all."

"In that case, it will be easy to handle." The Sect Hierarch of the Dragon Chant Sect turned to the congregation, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Hundred Peaks Sect has just become a Great Teaching, and Cao Zhen immediately went to snatch the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, followed by coming to our Dragon Chant Sect asking specifically for these ingredients. What does this make you think of?"

Without waiting for the crowd to speak, Elder Hu was the first to speak, "Cao Zhen is in a hurry! He urgently needs various resources. This is likely in preparation for dealing with the upcoming awakening of the Indestructible Period."

"Exactly!" The Sect Hierarch energetically clapped his hands and exclaimed, "To maximize the benefits of doing this business with Cao Zhen, we must first understand what he is planning.

Right now, all of Eastern Province knows that Cao Zhen has made mortal enemies with the Weeping Blood Demon Sect and the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect.

Cao Zhen, being a reincarnated Great Ability, is certainly no fool. How could he not know that once the Indestructible Period experts awaken, those experts from the two Demon Sects would immediately set out to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect.

So he must have some fallback measures to handle the attacks from these two Great Teachings. What do you think he might have?"

Among the crowd, a burly man speculated, "Perhaps it’s the Sky Encompassing Ten Thousand Immortals Star Gathering Formation, after all, the Wanxiao Sect has already stated that the Great Teachings the Hundred Peaks Sect merged with or annexed included the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, so they very likely have the Great Formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect!"

As soon as his words fell, someone immediately retorted, "Have a Great Formation? Even if they have that Great Formation, how much power could it have left after so many years? Or even if they could activate it, do you think they would dare use it?
