Chapter 617
After a brief discussion, the disciples of Cangyun Ridge, led by Ziyu and Heisong, began to enthusiastically introduce the various benefits of joining the sect to Chen Xuan. Furthermore, based on Chen Xuan's astonishing talent and extraordinary abilities, they almost solemnly guaranteed that if Chen Xuan agreed to join Cangyun Ridge, the entire sect's resources would undoubtedly flood towards him.
This confidence was by no means unfounded; Ziyu and Hei Song had never seen a boy as monstrous as Chen Xuan.
Despite his young age and strength being only at the Innate Realm, he displayed array formations that were stronger than theirs in a short period of time, and finally even achieved the Realm of Lightning Dao and an astonishing accomplishment in the Great Dao of Sword.
Ziyu and Hei Song knew very well that if Chen Xuan went to Qingtian County, he would be able to easily join one of the top sects in Qingtian County by simply showing his talent.
As Ziyu and Heisong finished speaking with utmost sincerity, everyone in Cangyunling looked at Chen Xuan with anticipation, while the Jiang clan members held their breath, nervously waiting for Chen Xuan to make a decision.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's eyes were calm as he quietly looked at Ziyu and Hei Song. In the end, he slowly shook his head and said, "I have always been used to being free and undisciplined. If one day I want to become a disciple of a sect, I will find a sect that suits me."
In reality, Chen Xuan didn't take this so-called Cangyun Ridge sect seriously at all. Just imagine, what level of sect would its third-generation formal disciples condescend to come to a remote place like Qushan to collect refining materials like essence blood and souls by instigating war?
The existence of something implies its rationale. Judging from the behavior of the disciples at the bottom of Cangyun Ridge, one can see that the entire Cangyun Ridge sect is not a prestigious or righteous sect.
Although Chen Xuan was not a great sage, he still had to choose a sect that suited his cultivation path.
He cultivates the righteous path. If he joins the Cangyunling sect and sees the second-generation disciples slaughtering living beings to satisfy their selfish desires, he will be unable to intervene because of their kinship. How could he feel happy about that?
If this continues, it will inevitably accumulate into inner demons. The first point of contention is that the traditions of Cangyun Ridge run counter to his own path.
Secondly, and this is the key reason why Chen Xuan directly refused. His ultimate goal in leaving Qushan to seek a master in the capital city of the feudal lords was not to break through to a higher level by relying on the sect's resources. Rather, he wanted to join a top sect with great influence and a long history, and make a name for himself by leveraging the sect's powerful influence, so that his name, Chen Xuan, could be spread throughout this great world, and he could also gather the scattered people of Longxia, as well as his disciples and friends.
Seeing the somber expressions on Ziyu and the others' faces, Chen Xuan continued, "In this battle for the Qushan overlord, your Cangyun Ridge and my Jiang Clan have no blood feud, and I have never laid a hand on you."
Upon hearing this, Ziyu and the others recalled Chen Xuan's terrifying strength and nodded vigorously.
Chen Xuan continued, "After this matter, you will all be bound by the oath of Heaven, and I believe you will never dare to plot against Qushan again."
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Ziyu, Hei Song, and the other female cultivators from Cangyun Ridge all looked dejected and filled with disappointment. Clearly, Ziyu and Hei Song had already anticipated this outcome.
Upon hearing this, Ziyu smiled wryly and looked at Hei Song. Both of them shook their heads helplessly. In fact, they knew better than anyone else that among the many sects on this land, the Cangyunling Sect was only a lower-middle-class sect.
The reason why the two of them were so eager to recruit Chen Xuan into their sect was that if they succeeded, they would not only receive generous rewards from the sect, but also become Chen Xuan's vassals and confidants in the future.
Once Chen Xuan assumes a high position and becomes the next sect leader of Cangyun Ridge, wielding great power, their status will also rise accordingly.
