Chapter 1017 -1015: Become Almost Half of the Donghuang Sect’s People!_1

When Yang Chen saw that Ye Xu truly believed him, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was only through quick thinking that he’d come up with the idea, as theoretically, there was no way for Ye Xu to find out the truth about ‘Yang Chen’.

“It’s fortunate that my age was always a mystery when I was in the Thirty-six Eastern Counties; there wasn’t any conclusive information available. Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.” Yang Chen thought to himself.

At this moment, Ye Xu’s gaze once again focused on Yang Chen.

Yang Chen immediately became more serious.

“Yang Xilin, Jinling has high praise for you. He says you passed the Trial Tower’s twentieth layer and possess excellent talent. Even the number one genius of the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, Yang Chen, falls short in comparison to you. I originally thought it would be difficult to find someone in the Western 42 Regions who could compete with him, but it seems I was just being ignorant.” Ye Xu said.

Yang Chen quickly responded, “You flatter me, Sect Master Ye.”

“Hehe, I’ll be the judge of whether I am flattering you or not. Yang Xilin, if you wanted to join the Donghuang sect now, I would accept you without a second thought. With your talent, I would agree to whatever you want to do or what position you want at Donghuang Sect. Unfortunately, you’re not joining Donghuang Sect directly, but as a subsidiary sect. Therefore, you must demonstrate your value— show me something that, even with a group of burdens, will still make my heart move!” Ye Xu said slowly.

Ruan Jinling couldn’t help but feel surprised as she looked at Ye Xu, wanting to say something.

Ye Xu gestured for her not to interrupt.

Ruan Jinling felt somewhat anxious, but seeing Ye Xu’s action, she had no choice but to give up on asking.

At first, Ye Xu indeed planned to directly accept a talent like Yang Chen. It would be stupid not to do so. However, after thinking about it, he changed his mind!

As for Yang Chen, he remained nonchalant: “Sect Master Ye, just tell me what you need me to do.”

“Very well, Yang Xilin, you’ve just earned even more of my esteem. I won’t make things too difficult for you. I will suppress 99% of my strength and unleash a single palm strike. This palm strike has the power to topple the peak of the Earth Martial Realm. If you can withstand it, no matter what method you use or what the outcome is, I will accept you into Donghuang Sect!” Ye Xu said.

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s calm heart couldn’t help but be stirred.

Ye Xu’s strength was truly unfathomable. Even after suppressing 99% of his power, he could still unleash a palm strike at the level of the Earth Martial Realm’s peak.

Ruan Jinling became flustered: “Sect Master, this… this won’t do. Young Master Yang is only at the Second Level of Earth Martial Realm. How could he withstand your palm strike at the Earth Martial Realm’s peak?”

“I know what I’m doing!” Ye Xu replied. “Yang Xilin, what do you think?”

“Any method is allowed?” Yang Chen blinked.

“Any method is allowed.” Ye Xu looked at Yang Chen and smiled slightly. Could it be that this kid really had a way?

Yang Chen grinned and said, “Alright, senior, go ahead!”

Ye Xu noticed Yang Chen’s response and warned, “Little guy, I’m about to make my move. Stay focused!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xu struck out with a palm. The strike produced three consecutive phantom palm shadows, each looking as real as the others and covered in dominating golden light, exuding absolute power!

“Impressive!” Yang Chen felt the force rushing towards him and his heartbeat subtly accelerated.

He had experienced a move from a Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm expert before, but the suppressed power of Ye Xu’s palm strike was not much different from a Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm.

However, Yang Chen remained calm. In the face of this palm, he had no hesitation in taking out the Nine-Star Gourd.

As soon as the gourd appeared, Yang Chen suddenly pulled out the cork, and an astonishing power surged out of the gourd, directly absorbing the three palm prints filled with golden light.

Seeing this, Ye Xu, who had been very curious about how Yang Chen would withstand the attack, suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise.

“What an incredible treasure!” Ye Xu exclaimed.

Yang Chen looked somewhat awkward and asked, “So, Sect Master Ye, are you satisfied with my results?”

Actually, he had other means to withstand the palm strike, but he didn’t use them. Because every other method would have required him to use all of his strength, so naturally, the Nine-Star Gourd was the more comfortable choice.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ye Xu suddenly burst into laughter: “Good, good, that was excellent, kid! I’m very satisfied with your answer. From now on, Luosheng Gate will be a subsidiary sect of Donghuang Sect. Regardless of whether you remain as Sect Leader of Luosheng Gate, Donghuang Sect will protect Luosheng Gate!”

Yang Chen got what he wanted and immediately thanked him, “Thank you, Sect Master Ye!”

“Alright, Yang Xilin, you can leave now,” Ye Xu said.

“Yes.” Yang Chen obeyed the order and left without saying anything more.

Watching Yang Chen leave, Ye Xu only then let the corner of his mouth rise, revealing a sense of amusement and satisfaction.

Ruan Jinling was puzzled and asked, “Sect Master, what did you mean just now? Weren’t you going to accept him and Luosheng Gate right away? Why did you give him such a difficult task? Luckily, he was able to withstand it; if he couldn’t, wouldn’t your palm strike have killed him?”

“What, you’re getting concerned?” Ye Xu laughed.

Ruan Jinling’s face turned red, as if she had been caught red-handed. She quickly explained, “Sect Master, that’s not what I meant.”

“Hehe, Jinling, it seems like you’re quite interested in this kid. Haha, if that’s the case, what I did just now wasn’t entirely meaningless,” Ye Xu said lightly.

Ruan Jinling was even more confused: “Sect Master, what do you mean?”

“I never intended to kill the kid. If he couldn’t withstand the attack, I would have stopped and not hurt him. As I said earlier, regardless of the outcome, I would accept him. What I really wanted to test was not whether he is qualified to lead Luosheng Gate as Donghuang Sect’s subsidiary sect.” Ye Xu explained.

“Then what did you mean by that?” Ruan Jinling became even more puzzled.

“Those words were just a cover-up. I wanted to test if he had greater value, such as what position he could hold in Donghuang Sect in the future. If he could defend against half of my attack, I’d even consider personally mentoring him. Now that he withstood all of it… tsk tsk.” Ye Xu continued.

Ye Xu then said, “Jinling, don’t you think he’s a perfect match for you?”

“Sect… Sect Master, what are you talking about?” Ruan Jinling’s face turned crimson, obviously understanding Ye Xu’s intentions.

“Though this kid has become a subsidiary sect, he’s not truly a part of Donghuang Sect after all,” Ye Xu muttered, “So, it’s good if he could become more closely associated with Donghuang Sect.”
