“Zongzhu!”
When Feng Tianzhen spoke up, the faces of the other elders and Yan Yuanlong changed dramatically, looking shocked. Wasn't it too reckless to directly let the Gu Dao Sect join Chen Qing's forces?
They all had feelings for the Gu Dao Sect and believed in Qin Chen, but joining the other side directly was something they couldn't accept for a moment.
“Alright, I know what you all want to say.”
Feng Tianzhen smiled bitterly, then addressed Qin Chen, “Chen Shixiong, you must not refuse. I can see that Chen Qing Shixiong is extraordinary. Although our Gu Dao Sect seems fine, in reality, we are already surrounded by enemies. If we continue like this, we will either have to move away or be destroyed by forces like the Tian Yuan Sect; there is no other way. But if we move, where can we go?”
“So, I hope that Chen Shixiong can accept our Gu Dao Sect.”
Feng Tianzhen respectfully bowed to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen scratched his nose, and the others, including Knife King Mu Zhifeng, were dumbfounded. Chen Shao came here once and subdued a sect?
The three monsters of the Ba Xiong Sect were even more astonished. This... they at least fought a bit before being defeated, but what about the Gu Dao Sect?
Wasn't that a bit spineless?
No, if the Gu Dao Sect were spineless, they wouldn't have endured humiliation here. It should be noted that back in the day, the five major demon sects had given the Gu Dao Sect a chance to submit and serve them, but the Gu Dao Sect rejected it, which led to the Ba Xiong Sect's occupation.
“Fine, but I am merely a nominal Supreme Zongzhu. For the specific sect affairs, I still ask Zongzhu Feng to handle them.”
In the end, Qin Chen agreed. He could tell that Feng Tianzhen was sincere.
Feng Tianzhen's expression immediately became excited: “Thank you, Chen Shixiong.”
Then he looked at everyone and said, “Everyone, I know you have doubts, but all you need to know is that our Gu Dao Sect actually inherits from the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion, and Chen Shixiong is also a successor of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion, so it can be considered a continuation.”
Once Qin Chen's position was confirmed, the following discussions became much easier. Feng Tianzhen said to Qin Chen, “Chen Shixiong, I know you came here probably to find the location of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion. Actually, you haven't gone wrong; the ruins of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion are located right here.”
“What?”
Qin Chen's expression changed in shock.
“Our Mie Jian Sect is not the ruins of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion; the real ruins are in the Sword Tomb. My great-grandfather obtained the inheritance of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion from that Sword Tomb. This is also the reason why our Gu Dao Sect would rather die than leave because this is our root. We, the Gu Dao Sect, actually exist to guard the ruins of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion.”
Indeed!
Qin Chen revealed a look of realization, as he had already suspected this in his heart; the Sword Tomb was indeed the inheritance of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion.
“Moreover, I suspect that over the years, the Tian Yuan Sect and other forces targeting our Gu Dao Sect is because they have guessed something. In fact, they are just the lackeys of those top forces in the Southern Sky Realm like the Zhuge family.”
Feng Tianzhen said coldly: “This secret has been buried in my heart for many years. I have never told anyone. Today, since you, Chen Shixiong, have come, it can be considered that we have truly reclaimed the orthodoxy of the Tong Tian Sword Pavilion, and I can finally speak it out.”
“Furthermore, since our Gu Dao Sect has come to this point, continuing to conceal it has no meaning. Perhaps our Gu Dao Sect will be destroyed soon.”
Feng Tianzhen said bitterly.
The people of the Gu Dao Sect looked at Feng Tianzhen; their Zongzhu had been hiding this from everyone for so long!
“With me here, I won't let the Gu Dao Sect come to this day.”
Qin Chen said.
Feng Tianzhen said bitterly: “Chen Shixiong, you don't know the despicable nature of the Tian Yuan Sect. In comparison, the five major demon sects are relatively better. It can be said that we owe a lot to the five major demon sects for helping us see the true colors of the Tian Yuan Sect and other forces.”
