These two elders were the same ones who participated in the competition for Yunhu Tianchi and were defeated miserably. Despite the liveliness they just said, in fact, they were still very afraid of Su Chen in their hearts.
Not only was Su Chen stronger than them, he was also highly respected by the sect master, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
"Haha, Elder Su, long time no see."
"Elder Su, that was just a joke, don't take it to heart. In fact, we all know that you are a decent person, and our sect leader is also a decent person."
Both elders had smiles on their faces.
If it were normal times, Su Chen would have slapped them all.
But at this moment, I am about to attend the court meeting. It is better to have less to worry about than to do more, so I will leave these two alone for the time being.
"How is it appropriate to make noises here in the middle of the night?" ??
Su Chen frowned, with a scolding tone.
"Well, Elder Su, do you know where the sect master is? He's leaving tomorrow. Logically speaking, we should get together tonight to explain things. Why hasn't the sect master shown up yet?"
An elder asked quickly.
"Sect Master? Something went wrong in her cultivation. She has been in seclusion in a pure place. She probably won't be able to come out in a short time."
Su Chen said calmly.
"Ah? What about setting off tomorrow?"
The elders were all stunned.
"Before the retreat, the sect leader told me that I will lead the team. Except for the sect leader's absence, the other quotas remain unchanged. Okay, it's late at night, everyone has a rest and we will gather early tomorrow morning."
Su Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense and left directly, leaving them behind.
The elders looked at each other in shock, not fully digesting the news for a while. Why did the sect master choose to retreat at this time?
It sounds like something went wrong in cultivation and I had to retreat? Is it true?
Although they were full of doubts, Su Chen
He has already left, and there is no way they can pursue him and ask.
No matter what the situation was, they had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, the absence of the sect leader did not seem to affect their ability to attend the meeting.
Early the next morning, the Tianlei Sect team arrived at the gathering point at Yunhu Hou Mansion.
When the people from Yunhuhou Mansion were counting the number of people, they discovered, as expected, that there was one person missing from Tianlei Sect.
"Where is the Qin Master of your Tianlei Sect? Don't you know the departure time of Yunhu Hou Mansion? The time has come, but you haven't come yet?"
The elder who was counting the people frowned and asked.
Su Chen replied calmly: "Elder, Master Qin has been in seclusion a few months ago due to some problems with his cultivation. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it to the meeting this time."
It doesn't matter if there are less people.
If more people are requested, the Yunhu Hou Mansion will never agree to it. Because each sect has a fixed quota, they cannot allow more people.
As for the situation where the quota is not full, the Hou Mansion will not care that much.
"Are you sure you won't come?"
The elder frowned and asked.
"Sure."
Su Chen nodded.
"Well, let's take the quota back and give it to other people in the Hou family."
The elder said calmly.
"That's how it should be."
Su Chen looked as usual and responded calmly.
This small setback did not have any impact. The other three elders of Tianlei Sect were relieved when they saw that the Hou Mansion did not hold on to him.
As for whether Qin Yan should go or not, they also
They don't really care. Anyway, if Qin Yan doesn't go, there will be no loss for them.
The elder of the Yunhu Marquis Mansion went up and told the Yunhu Marquis about the Tianlei Sect. The Yunhu Marquis was slightly surprised and had someone call Su Chen over.
"Elder Su, why haven't I heard you mention the matter of Master Qin's retreat?"
Marquis Yunhu stared at Su Chen with a somewhat inquiring look.
"Master Qin said that there is no need to alarm other people about this trivial matter, so he did not let me publicize it. Mr. Marquis, it shouldn't matter if there is one less person, right?"
Su Chen smiled.
"Is it really a retreat?"
Marquis Yunhu's tone became slightly more serious.
"That's exactly what she said."
Su Chen nodded.
Marquis Yunhu looked leisurely in the direction of Yunhu Tianchi, and suddenly sighed: "I hope she is really in retreat. This girl is a little too thoughtful sometimes."
"Okay, Elder Su, go back to your own team. When you get to the meeting, remember to talk less and watch more."
Marquis Yunhu gave Su Chen a few casual instructions and asked him to leave.
Su Chen returned to the Tianleimen team and recalled Yunhu Hou's expression and tone. He vaguely felt that Yunhu Hou might have noticed something and was suspicious of Qin Yan.
However, Marquis Yunhu must not have thought that Qin Yan was going to save Emperor Yuan, but instead suspected that Qin Yan had any plans for Yunhu Tianchi.
Of course, it no longer matters whether Marquis Yunhu is suspicious or not. Because Marquis Yunhu is about to leave, and it is impossible for him to take care of Qin Yan.
The team set off, and Tianleimen was not particularly conspicuous among the mighty team. There were only thirty or forty people in Tianleimen attending the meeting.
and
The other four sects are not much different, and the largest sect has less than a hundred people.
However, there are thousands of people in the team, most of whom are the elites of Yunhuhou Mansion. The five major sects only account for a small part.
The team was divided into two flying boats and set off towards Ziyue Capital City.
Yunhu Tianchi is not very far from Ziyue Capital, but it still has to pass through the teleportation array. Moreover, this teleportation array is very large and can accommodate the entire teleportation of the flying boat.
After the teleportation, we were already near Ziyue Capital City.
Su Chen was in the flying boat, observing the environment around Ziyue Capital City and admiring the nearby scenery.
Soon, Ziyue Capital City came into view.
The Purple Moon Capital City is ridiculously large in area, with all kinds of buildings stretching endlessly. Even on a flying boat, you can't see where its boundaries are.
The core of Ziyue Capital City is naturally Ziyue Palace.
The entire Ziyue Palace has changed hands countless times since the fall of Emperor Yuan. Today, the person in charge of the Ziyue Palace is the current Emperor Ziyue, a monarch who has not been recognized by heaven.
The majestic Ziyue Palace, and the powerful men who were inspected on the periphery, were all high-level transformation realm. It can be seen that regardless of whether Emperor Ziyue was recognized by Heaven or not, the configuration was still very sophisticated.
In any case, to be able to achieve that position, one must have strong power and many soldiers. Ordinary princes, even if they want to, do not have the strength to control the overall situation.
Besides, as long as you sit in that position, there will definitely be many strong people who will join you and seek official positions.
Therefore, the current Emperor Ziyue still has many elite soldiers and generals under his command.
"Greetings to Marquis Yunhu."
