Chapter 394: 393. Controlling the Divine Demon Palace (1)

The hall instantly fell silent.
Outside the hall, Chen Luoyang looked at the Black Turtle Hall’s Chief, Tang Yiming, and nodded. “”Come in and sit. We can talk slowly.”
When Tang Yiming heard Chen Luoyang’s tone as the owner of this place, he felt that it was rather unfamiliar.
Even when Lian Buyi was still around, there was no clear leader in the Divine Devil Palace.
If one had to say, it would be the sect leader Jiang Yi himself. However, as the leader of a sect, naturally, no one would treat Jiang Yi as the Lord of the Divine Devil Palace.
Today, he had come to the Divine Devil Palace and suddenly bumped into Chen Luoyang. This made Tang Yiming feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he quickly regained his composure and bowed to Chen Luoyang. I m here to visit an old friend. I’m not in the palace at the moment, so there’s nothing special. I won’t disturb Vice Patriarch Chen. Please allow me to take my leave.”
“No.” Chen Luoyang nodded.
Tang Yiming turned around and left. Chen Luoyang watched as the other party’s back disappeared with a playful expression.
Speaking of which, this person in front of him was considered an exception.
The Ancient Gods Clan of the Divine Lands was established back then and the internal structure that had been maintained until now was modeled after the Red Dust Sect by the Nine-Armed Sky Demon Fei Chen.
Therefore, the two sides were similar in many aspects.
For example, because of its special duties, the Black Tortoise Hall was not as strict as the other three halls in terms of the cultivation of most of the higher-ups in the hall.
In theory, other than having a powerful figure to oversee everything, the rest of the people valued the ability to manage internal affairs more.
Moreover, this powerful figure did not necessarily have to be the Chief of the Black Turtle Hall.
No one asked the God of Fortune to be good at fighting.
The key was that the Black Tortoise Hall itself had to be able to do its job well.
There were specialties in every field, and everyone had their own strengths. Being a martial arts genius did not mean that he was outstanding in other aspects.
Su Wei, the Chief of the Black Tortoise Hall of the Ancient Gods Clan in the Divine Lands, was the best example.
In the Divine Lands, Su Wei could be considered one of the few people with higher attainments in martial arts.
However, Tang Yiming from the Red Dust World was clearly different.
There were always exceptions in the world.
Tang Yiming was the biggest exception.
As the Chief of the Black Tortoise Hall of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan, he managed everything in an orderly manner. At the same time, his cultivation did not fall behind at all.
He was already a Martial Saint of the sixteenth realm despite his young age, and he was not inferior to the other three hall masters.
In terms of cultivation realm, he was only inferior to Lian Buyi among the young experts of the Ancient Gods Clan.
In the entire history of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan, there were only a handful of Black Tortoise Hall Chiefs with such a high cultivation.
Martial artists of the same realm would naturally have differences in strength in actual combat.
However, from a certain perspective, Tang Yiming, who could be said to be a master of both literature and martial arts, would undoubtedly have a huge advantage in his competition for the position of the next sect master in the future.
The Ancient Gods Clan was a sacred land of the demonic path, and its leader was not strong enough.
However, many times, it was easy for problems to occur even if one only had martial arts specialties.
If he made a huge mistake in his decision, he would not be the only one who would suffer.
It was worth mentioning that the current Sect Master Jiang Yi had once held the position of the head of the Black Tortoise Hall.
However, Tang Yiming wasn’t Jiang Yi’s direct disciple, which added a lot of suspense to Tang Yiming’s fight for the position of Sect Master’s successor.
Chen Luoyang watched as Tang Yiming disappeared. He smiled and walked into the hall.
Then, he saw a man and a woman in the hall.
The woman was expressionless, and she didn’t avoid looking at Chen Luoyang, who had just walked in.
Her gaze was firm and arrogant, revealing a sense of ruthlessness.
However, his gaze was somewhat erratic, and he seemed to be in shock.
The man was all smiles as he greeted Chen Luoyang with a smile. ‘”‘Subordinate thanks endlessly. Greetings, Cult Master Chen.”
Chen Luoyang nodded nonchalantly and looked at the woman.
The woman took a deep breath and bowed to Chen Luoyang. ‘”‘Ning Jiuwei from the Divine Devil Palace greets Vice Patriarch Chen.”
“Your subordinate congratulates Cult Master Chen for transcending the mortal world and becoming a saint.”
The young man named Xie Buxiu smiled and said carefully.
The woman beside him also held her breath when she heard this.
Both of them were the direct disciples of the Ancient Gods Clan at the 15th realm. They were the strongest in the entire Mortal World. They were the top existences in the same realm. It was not difficult for them to compete with the direct disciples of other Holy Lands.
However, they hadn’t discovered Chen Luoyang’s existence just now.
If it was a martial artist of the same realm, even if the other party was good at hiding, it would be very difficult to escape their eyes and ears.
They were talking about someone behind their backs just now. Ning Jiuwei was fine, but Xie Buxiu was cautious and paid attention to the movements outside at all times.
However, if Tang Yiming hadn’t spoken, the two of them wouldn’t have noticed that Chen Luoyang had already arrived outside the hall.
If it was just Chen Luoyang alone, it would be fine. However, when they saw Tu Shanyi enter with Chen Luoyang, Xie Buxiu and Xie Buxiu’s hearts sank.
Tu Shanyi and the others couldn’t be more familiar with him. Furthermore, his cultivation was lower than theirs. Logically speaking, even if they couldn’t discover Chen Luoyang, they should be able to discover Tu Shanyi, right?
In the current situation, Chen Luoyang had concealed Tu Shanyi’s voice.
Such a move was definitely not something a Martial Supreme could have.
Ning Jiuwei was bewildered. His only hope was that Chen Luoyang had used some kind of treasure to conceal his and Tu Shanyi’s tracks.
Xie Buxiu thought a little more.
The actions of Tang Yiming, the head of the Black Tortoise Hall, were clearly abnormal.
He was also familiar with them. He guessed that they might have come to the Divine Devil Palace to ask for help.
Although the Divine Devil Palace was a direct descendant of the Sect Master Jiang Yi, such things were not forbidden. It mainly depended on the willingness of the person involved.
In the end, after Tang Yiming met Chen Luoyang, he turned around and left.
Based on Xie Buxiu’s understanding of Tang Yiming, the other party might not be afraid of Chen Luoyang. However, it was clear that he wasn’t very confident when facing Chen Luoyang and didn’t have any psychological advantage.
It was most likely that something unexpected had happened to Chen Luoyang, causing him to retreat cautiously and plan to take things slowly.
From the looks of it, it seemed that what had happened was obvious…
With the thought that it was never wrong to be careful, Xie Buxiu tried to compliment him.
When Chen Luoyang heard the other party congratulating him for transcending the mortal world and becoming a saint, he first nodded before shaking his head.
“There are only six sixty years left, still far from a thousand years.”
Xie Buxiu was shocked.
As the heir of the Ancient Gods Clan, how could he not know that 360 years was the lifespan of a Martial Saint in the 16th realm?
The main point wasn’t about the sixty-year cycle or Chiaki.
Instead, it was because the young man in front of him had really stepped into the Martial Saint Realm?
Although he had already guessed it, he still couldn’t calm down after getting confirmation.
However, his expression did not change. He did not slow down at all and smiled.” Not far, not far. Qianqiu is within your reach.
Ning Jiuwei felt his vision darken.
She was not afraid of Martial Saints.
As the direct descendant of the Holy Land, she had a lot of dealings with Martial Saints.
However, when she thought of the conversation she had with Xie Buxiu, she felt her face burn.
Before this, there were two Martial Saints in the Demon God Palace.
Many people were waiting to see how Chen Luoyang, who was at the Martial
Emperor Realm, would suppress the Martial Saint in the Divine Devil Palace.
Relying on the dignity of the Sect Master Jiang Yi was not considered capable.
If he kept using the power of a fox to intimidate a tiger, his unprecedented position as deputy sect leader would slowly become a joke.
The Vermilion Bird Palace Hall was vacant, and one of the two Martial Saints in the Demon God Palace would most likely need to fill the vacancy.
Even so, there was still one left.
However, with the accidental death of the Azure Dragon Hall’s Chief, Lin Yan, in the war against Western Qin, the situation immediately changed.
Now, he didn’t have to worry about whether Lian Buyi was suitable to be the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s Chief.
She and Hong Biao, the other Martial Saint of the Divine Devil Palace, each took a carrot and a hole, filling the two positions.
In the Divine Devil Palace, the two boulders that were pressing down on Chen Luoyang’s head were instantly moved away.
He had a conflict with Lin Yan to begin with, and now he had benefited from Lin Yan’s death.
Perhaps he did not have the ability to kill Lin Yan, but it was hard to say if he was involved.
When the news spread back to the headquarters, there were more than one or two people who had such thoughts.
However, Ning Jiuwei could only smile bitterly as he looked at Chen Luoyang.
In their eyes, the two Martial Saint boulders that were pressing down on Chen Luoyang’s head were really boulders to Chen Luoyang. Could they really suppress him?
He had crossed the natural chasm between a Martial Monarch Realm expert and a Martial Saint Realm expert in one step!
Did Chen Luoyang need to kill Lin Yan?
Would Hong Biao, who was a Martial Saint at the 16th level, become an obstacle for him to control the Divine Devil Palace?
Even if Lian Buyi, who was ranked among the Red Dust Ten Heroes and had a higher cultivation level, stayed in the Divine Devil Palace, would he really be able to suppress him?
Before today, Ning Jiuwei would have firmly believed that he could.
But now, she was really not confident.
She wasn’t completely clueless about Chen Luoyang. She had heard about him from Tu Shanyi a long time ago.
At the age of 16, he reached the Martial Emperor Realm.
18 years old, 14th level.
At the age of 20, which was a few months ago, he reached the 15th level.
If that was all there was to it, then it was still within the knowledge of the Mortal World’s top Holy Land’s direct descendants.
But a twenty-year-old Martial Saint…
Ning Jiuwei sucked in a breath of cold air. This was already slightly faster than practicing Buyi.
That’s right, this person had obtained a page of the Heavenly Book in the Divine Lands. Was it related?
But even so, it was still shocking.
Compared to the endless thanks he had for Fang Cai, Ning Jiuwei slowly exhaled and bowed deeply to Chen Luoyang. He said, ‘”‘This subordinate is speaking behind your back and is disrespectful to the Deputy Patriarch. Please forgive me, Deputy Patriarch.”
‘ People from the Godfiend Palace don’t have to go to the White Tiger Hall. However, there will be rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds. It’s the same everywhere. ” Chen Luoyang said indifferently, ” It’s an eventful time and we are in need of manpower. There’s a task that is somewhat difficult. I’ll hand it over to you. If you do it well, we’ll let bygones be bygones. If you don’t do it well, you don’t have to come back.
“Please instruct me, Deputy Patriarch,” Ning Jiuwei said calmly.
“Assassinate a target.” “The eldest son of the South Chu Emperor, Cheng Longyuan, ” said Chen Luoyang..
