Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng's expressions darkened. They hadn't expected that after saying so much, the people from Liuxian Sect would still refuse to give in.
However, the two of them could not forcibly intervene. Although the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Sacred Land had vast powers spread across the continent, they also had many regulations. One of those rules was that they must not interfere in conflicts between major forces.
If they were to intervene forcefully, once it escalated to the headquarters, not only would their reputations suffer, but they could also face punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Elder Ge Xuan is right; this is a personal feud. I think you two should refrain from intervening. Otherwise, if it gets out, your reputations might not look too good."
At this moment, the leading expert from Tianheng Academy stepped forward with a smile, clearly unafraid of the trouble.
"Even if Qin Chen is an alchemist and a bloodline master, personal grudges should indeed not involve the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Sacred Land."
"This is not a competition between two alchemists or bloodline masters, but rather a personal feud between Qin Chen and Liuxian Sect. If the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Sacred Land insist on intervening, it would indeed be a bit excessive."
Seeing the Tianheng Academy's representatives speak up, many of the experts from various forces in Xuanzhou began to discuss among themselves.
Many of them had gained nothing from this trip and were eager to seize any benefits. However, they were hindered by Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng, naturally feeling a belly full of anger and hoping for a conflict to erupt.
"That Qin Chen even sent someone to poison and sever an arm of mine; if I don’t take revenge, how will my Tai Yi Sect establish itself in Xuanzhou in the future? Should I simply yield and let members of the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Sacred Land trample over me?"
Cheng Tianluo from Tai Yi Sect, having lost an arm, was even more furious, coldly snorting, which made Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng's expressions even more unpleasant.
With so many Xuanzhou people turning against them, Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng felt troubled. Their purpose for coming was to protect Qin Chen, and they naturally couldn’t allow anything to happen to him. However, now that so many strong figures from Xuanzhou had spoken up, if they forcibly intervened, it would likely bring trouble to the Alchemy Pavilion and the Bloodline Sacred Land, putting them in a difficult position.
"You two need not feel troubled. Since you are here today, I, Qin, am already grateful. You only need to arrange the other disciples from our five nations. As for me, since the people from Xuanzhou say this is a personal feud, it would be best for you not to intervene and avoid giving some people a chance to speak ill and cause you trouble." At this moment, Qin Chen suddenly stepped forward, cupping his hands respectfully to the two.
"Qin Chen." Xiao Ya anxiously called out, constantly giving Qin Chen subtle signals, her heart filled with worry.
The others were also dumbfounded.
Could this kid be out of his mind? He actually took the initiative to suggest that the Alchemy Pavilion and Bloodline Sacred Land not intervene; wasn't that seeking death?
At this moment, everyone understood that the means by which Qin Chen had subdued Ge Xuan and the others must have been left behind from the ruins of Ancient Nandu. However, the ruins had already disappeared, and the remaining power would definitely not last long. Once that power faded, Qin Chen would be like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.
Ge Xuan laughed excitedly, turning to Xiang Wentian and Mu Lengfeng, "You two heard that. Now this Qin Chen admits it’s just our feud, so you probably have no reason to intervene, do you?"
"Sigh, Qin Chen, what are you doing…"
Mu Lengfeng and Xiang Wentian were speechless, shaking their heads repeatedly. They had originally considered ways to take Qin Chen away, but with Qin Chen saying this, it directly blocked their retreat. They no longer had any reason to intervene in this matter.
