Chu Yan still knew something about the Shen family. Shen Polang had told him about it at that time.

But now it seems that wanting to return to the main branch is Shen Polang's wishful thinking.

Judging from Emperor Shen's tone, the main branch of the Shen family didn't care at all about the return of their side branch, and didn't even want them to come back. The only thing that interested them might be Shen Qing's divine elephant prison-suppressing body.

But now it seems that this matter has become one of the contradictions.

Shen Qing still lowered her head and did not answer everyone's questions.

But her fists were clenched tighter now, and her knuckles were turning white.

"Have you noticed that Emperor Shen is only a minor at the second level of Pulse Condensation Realm." At this time, Chu Yan spoke, breaking the silence.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"That's why I'm even more unconvinced!" Su Jianyuan slapped the table, "Everyone is a minor at the second level of Pulse Condensation Realm, and his level is not as high as ours. What's there to be proud of? Moreover, he is considered to be a second level Pulse Condensation Realm." A great success may not be our opponent!"

Su Jianyuan's words were full of confidence.

In fact, several people present, including him, did have such confidence.

Chu Yan, Su Jianyuan, Li Xiu, Jiang Panmeng, and Shen Qing all got the quota this time by defeating their own higher-level disciples.

Cross-level challenges have become the norm for them.

"Then have you noticed that the four disciples around Emperor Shen are at a higher level than him?" Chu Yan said again at this moment.

Everyone was stunned.

Their attention just now was focused on Emperor Shen. The remaining two men and two women did not speak, so naturally they did not pay too much attention.

"This Emperor Shen is obviously not as simple as it seems." Chu Yan continued: "The five of them should all be participating in this national election, but they are obviously led by Emperor Shen, who has the lowest level."

Having said this, Chu Yan looked around at everyone and then said: "Do you think this phenomenon is normal?"

Everyone's brows suddenly frowned slightly.

Although the nine of them have different realms, when they go out, they are always led by Shen Ruihang, Jiang Chengxin and Fan Cheng, who are at the highest realm. After all, they are senior brothers.

Looking back now, they found that the Cangyu Sect was completely different. From the beginning to the end, it was Emperor Shen who spoke, and no one else said anything. Moreover, when they left, the four people also surrounded Emperor Shen. Obviously Shen Huang is their heart.

"Four high-level disciples, surrounding a low-level disciple." Fan Cheng's eyes flashed, "What's the reason for this?"

"There are only two reasons." Chu Yan held out two fingers, "One is that Emperor Shen has a very strong background, and those four people want to fawn over him."

"That won't happen." Jiang Panmeng shook his head and said: "Those who can represent the sect in battle must be the best of the sect. Although there may be cases of intentional friendship, it is absolutely impossible to be a flattering monk with that kind of mentality. , it won’t go very far.”

Everyone agreed and expressed their agreement.

Chu Yan raised one finger and there was only one left: "So there is only one situation left."

Looking at the crowd, Chu Yan said, "Emperor Shen's strength makes those people sincerely willing to follow him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that this was indeed the only possibility.

The world of monks is said to be very hierarchical, but in fact, it is not simple. To use the most vulgar words, it is "a fist-sized reason."

What family background, background, circumstances, etc. can only be admired by others if they are transformed into one's own strength.

Recalling the demeanor and actions of the two men and two women just now, everyone fell silent.

Obviously, they all agreed with Chu Yan.

"Aqing, your cousin is very proud." Chu Yan sighed.

Shen Qing lowered her head, and her heart tightened when she heard these words.

Inexplicably, her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry.

But at this moment, she felt her shoulder being tapped by Chu Yan, and Chu Yan's smiling voice sounded in her ears: "But, I believe you can defeat him."

For a moment, Shen Qing felt as if something had hit her chest. The grievance she felt just now was replaced by a huge satisfaction and surprise.

This feeling of being encouraged and recognized gave her arms a layer of goosebumps.

"Do you really have confidence in me?" Shen Qing raised her head and looked at Chu Yan and asked.

She has always been a talker, but she was able to speak in front of a crowd, which shows how much impact Chu Yan's words just had on her.

"I'm waiting to see him beaten to the ground by you, with an annoyed look on his face." Chu Yan nodded.

There was no hesitation in his words.

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and after a while, her face gradually returned to normal, and her eyes that had originally seemed gloomy regained their energy.

However, although no one talked about this matter anymore, the appearance of Shen Huang and others still had an impact on everyone's psychology to some extent.

The atmosphere of this dinner was not deserted, but it was not lively either. Everyone seemed to be worried.

After eating, everyone went back to rest together.

After Chu Yan knew that Lin Miaoran had arrived at Tianxuan Shrine, he originally planned to continue walking around the inner circle, maybe touching the other party, but seeing that everyone was not interested, he thought for a moment and forgot about it.

At this time, it’s better not to affect everyone’s atmosphere.

After returning, everyone went back to their rooms.

When Chu Yan went back, Yingjun had already woken up from his drunken state, so he happened to give Yingjun and Xiao Tangtang the meals he had packed.

Yingjun disliked that this was the leftover food from Chu Yan and the others, but he still buried his head in the lunch box, eating vegetable juice all over his face.

After all, in terms of raw food and barbecue, the food in the restaurant was simply the most delicious thing he had ever tasted for Yingjun.

After eating, Xiao Tangtang lay at Chu Yan's feet and squinted her eyes to rest. Yingjun still didn't raise her head until she licked the inside of the lunch box until it was shiny. Then she let out a long sigh and stopped.

Later, Lian Yongzhi summoned the nine people participating in the competition in the hall.

Seeing Lian Yongzhi's gloomy face, everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and couldn't help but feel a heavy weight in their hearts.

"The format of the state religion election has come out. In the first round, two sects will fight against each other. Three sects will be eliminated. Then the remaining three sects will enter the second round. The sect that wins the second round will win. The sect will become the next state religion." Lian Yongzhi took a breath and said to everyone.

When he said this, everyone understood.

In the first round, the opponent is determined by drawing lots, and the loser loses the qualification to enter the second round.

"Elder Lian, the situation in the first round is a fight, what about the second round?" Shen Ruihang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.
