Chapter 2054 To Supreme Sect 2
Surprisingly, among the partic.i.p.ants, Yan Zhengchu was present.
Yan Zhengchu, being a prince of the royal family, shared the same ambition as his fellow princes—to ascend to the throne of the Shenyou Dynasty. As such, they held the Golden Rolls and, upon reaching the required cultivation level, they wouldn"t confine themselves to a sect like the Supreme Sect.
Usually, they would send trusted aides in their place.
Both sides were aware of each other"s trusted aides, which served as their bargaining chips.
However, this year…
Yan Zhengchu personally requested Gu Chaoyan to partic.i.p.ate in the examination at the Supreme Sect. What was his motive?
"Could it be because he is the weakest among the princes and the Elder Prince has made a breakthrough?" Yan Wuji speculated.
"He is the most cunning among the princes. He must have a plan. You need to be cautious of him," Yan Lin warned, expressing sudden concern.
"In the Supreme Sect, even if he is a prince, he cannot harm us, especially considering that Chaoyan is more powerful than him," Yan Wuji rea.s.sured.
Yan Lin pondered for a moment and agreed.
The Supreme Sect was a sect governed by rules, and they prohibited harm among its members.
Thus, he felt at ease.
Upon learning of Yan Zhengchu"s intention to go to the Supreme Sect, Gu Chaoyan and Yan Wuji decided to leave early, in order to avoid encountering him. Gu Chaoyan didn"t want to waste her energy on dealing with this prince.
As expected, not long after their departure, Yan Zhengchu arrived at the Yan Family, intending to leave with them.
Yan Lin played the role of a fortune teller, instructing them to leave first.
Yan Zhengchu couldn"t help but feel a sense of regret. Nevertheless, he didn"t delay his journey and hurried towards the Supreme Sect.
"Chaoyan is quite adept at making predictions," Yan Lin commented, finding it amusing.
As for the Prophet, after riding out alongside Yan Wuji, he decided to utilize Sword Kinesis Flight to swiftly make his way to the Supreme Sect.
Yan Wuji was pleased to hear that.
Since there would be internal conflicts along the way, it made sense to wait at the Supreme Sect.
They arrived ahead of the others, but it wasn"t yet time for the examination. They had to wait.
During this waiting period, they didn"t remain idle. Each of them engaged in cultivation and meditation.
A day later, the remaining partic.i.p.ants began to arrive one by one.
Yan Zhengchu approached Gu Chaoyan and Yan Wuji directly. "When did you arrive, and how did you manage to get here so quickly?"
"Not long ago," Yan Wuji replied.
"I see. It"s wise of you to arrive early," Yan Zhengchu remarked.
Neither Yan Wuji nor Gu Chaoyan offered any response.
Zhuo Yuanbai snorted at the sight of Gu Chaoyan and walked away, still harboring resentment due to the incident involving Zhuo Yuanming.
Wu Yuehe approached them and greeted them politely.
There were only a few familiar faces among the partic.i.p.ants. The rest were either from other continents or independent cultivators.
Wu Yuehe wasn"t foolish. He understood the value of cultivating relations.h.i.+ps with those he knew, as they could support each other in the future.
The Wu Family had always maintained a low profile. They didn"t provoke anyone nor seek closeness with others. Wu Yuehe shared the same mindset.
Gu Chaoyan had a favorable impression of Wu Yuehe. He was the only one satisfied with their encounter at the dragon vein, selecting a Dharma artifact and leaving with the enchanted armament. It had been a mutually beneficial transaction.
Gu Chaoyan observed the others around her.
At that moment, the doors of the Supreme Sect opened. They were about to enter the area of the sect to partic.i.p.ate in the examination for outer sect disciples.
