Chapter 149: “Tiger Cavalry” Departs, “Shadow” Accompanies
After writing the reply, Chen Changsheng handed the envelope to Gongsun Huaiyu.
“Girl, take this letter back to Gongsun.”
“Also, remember to tell your Master that although our relationship is good, I am now officially the Holy Son of the Purple House Sacred Ground.”
“It’s business as usual; on this matter, the Purple House Sacred Ground will never compromise.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Gongsun Huaiyu looked at the envelope in her hand, completely confused.
No, what is this old man playing at!?
Even if you want to be the master of the Purple House Sacred Ground, you can’t be so blatant about it.
As your disciple, I now seriously suspect that this kidnapping was orchestrated by you.
Chen Changsheng’s maneuvering stunned Gongsun Huaiyu, and even the Purple House Disciples nearby were left dumbfounded.
“You dare!”
Lin Kaishan shouted angrily, then reached out with his right hand, trying to capture Chen Changsheng.
“Boom!”
Faced with Lin Kaishan’s furious attack, Chen Changsheng was not one to sit still; the two immediately clashed palms.
The powerful impact sent countless disciples flying away.
“Crack!”
Numerous spider-web-like cracks appeared on the stone slab beneath Lin Kaishan’s feet, yet Chen Changsheng remained unmoved, standing firm.
“Third Elder, I’ve been contemplating some issues recently, so my control over my cultivation isn’t great.”
“For your safety, I suggest you don’t act recklessly against me.”
“According to the rules of the Purple House Sacred Ground, when the Master is absent, the Holy Son can take charge of the entire Sacred Ground.”
“If you want to take control away from me, you’ll need permission from the Elder Council.”
“Unfortunately, I acquired the Elder Council’s permission before you did.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng produced a token.
Seeing this token, Lin Kaishan’s face turned extremely dark.
He never expected that during his short absence of just a few months, the entire Purple House Sacred Ground had undergone a “rename.”
Now, not only was Chen Changsheng the Holy Son, but he had also obtained the Elder Council’s token.
With this token in hand, Chen Changsheng could even directly command the Purple House Sacred Ground to k*ll Lin Kaishan.
“Good! Very good!”
“I didn’t expect the Elder Council to be this incompetent; then I’ll personally go see the Grand Elder.”
“I don’t believe the esteemed Purple House Sacred Ground can’t deal with a mere Chen Changsheng!”
Having said that, the Third Elder left in a fit of anger.
As for the elders who had just returned, they chose to first go to the Elder Council to understand the situation, as not everyone was as hot-tempered as Lin Kaishan.
Once several returning elders left, Chen Changsheng turned to the many Purple House Disciples.
“With all the elders returning to the Purple House Sacred Ground, you all should get moving.”
“Starting today, all disciples of the Purple House Sacred Ground will be dispatched by Ziling and Gongsun Huaiyu, and the Sacred Ground’s treasure vault is open for you to take what you need.”
“Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion will provide full support; the outer elders can be freely allocated by the two of you.”
“In critical moments, I, the Holy Son, and even the Elder Council will intervene to assist.”
“My only requirement is to wipe out all forces below the Central Courtyard level.”
“Regardless of who supports them from behind, no matter their affiliations.”
“Those who block the way, k*ll!”
“Those who do not submit, k*ll!”
“Those who resist stubbornly, k*ll!”
The consecutive shouts of “k*ll” made everyone’s hair stand on end.
Because they knew all too well what this command from Chen Changsheng represented.
“I shall carry out the order!”
Gongsun Huaiyu was the first to clasp her fists and accept Chen Changsheng’s command.
“Rest assured, I won’t disappoint the expectations of the Xiancha, please grant me a name!”
“You fight fiercely like a tiger descending from the mountain, so you shall be named ‘Tiger Cavalry.'”
“I hope from now on you will be unstoppable in battle and victorious in every fight!”
“Thank you for the name, Xiancha!”
Seeing that Gongsun Huaiyu had accepted the mission, Ziling also hurriedly stepped forward.
Although she didn’t know what the “Seventy Wolf Smoke” and her Master were really up to, she trusted Chen Changsheng.
If he truly intended to seize control of the Purple House Sacred Ground, he certainly wouldn’t use such crude methods.
“Ziling will strictly follow the orders of the Xiancha, I beg you to grant me a name!”
Gazing at Ziling before him, Chen Changsheng spoke, “You move like a specter in battle, appearing and disappearing without a trace.”
“Your squad shall be called ‘Shadow.'”
“As you move like the shadow, from now on you will become the nightmare of all enemies.”
“Thank you for the name, Xiancha!”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng turned and left.
The numerous disciples hesitated for a moment, then began to choose sides.
Although they did not know what was happening among the higher-ups of the Sacred Ground, they understood that a greater opportunity had arisen.
After the last battle at Mad Dragon Fortress, the Purple House Disciples had gained fame in the Central Courtyard.
Now, with the opportunity to make a name for themselves right in front of them, as long as Chen Changsheng was still the Holy Son, and had not been usurped by the Sacred Ground, they would not let this massive opportunity slip away.
…
Lin Kaishan’s farce quickly came to an end, and the Purple House Sacred Ground resumed its operations.
Ziling and Gongsun Huaiyu left the Sacred Ground to fight in the Central Courtyard.
Chen Changsheng immersed himself in the “Sea of Learning” and did not show himself again. The entire Sacred Ground fell into an unusual tranquility.
However, those remaining in the Sacred Ground stumbled upon an interesting “development.”
Lin Kaishan went deep into the back mountain, and since that day, he hadn’t mentioned anything about Chen Changsheng’s status again.
Yet, Lin Kaishan still was reluctant to call Chen Changsheng the “Holy Son.”
As for what really happened deep in the back mountain, aside from Lin Kaishan, perhaps no one could clearly explain it.
…
Seventy Wolf Smoke.
Looking at the letter sent over, Wu Li’s brows furrowed deeply.
Because he truly had no idea what the Xiancha was up to.
Unable to understand Chen Changsheng’s actions, Wu Li turned to glance at Nalan Jing, who was curiously examining the room’s decor, completely lacking any sense of being a “hostage.”
“The Purple House Saint seems not to want to pay the ransom.”
“Why don’t you send a message to persuade him? If things get messy, both sides will be worse off.”
Faced with Wu Li’s threat, Nalan Jing played with the embroidery on Wu Li’s pillow.
“This embroidery on your pillow is quite nice, I don’t think I’ve seen this style before.”
“Why don’t you let me borrow this pillow to sleep on for a few days? The one you prepared for me is too hard; I can’t get used to it.”
Wu Li: “……”
I’m talking about a ransom here; can’t you be a bit serious?
“Nalan Jing, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to k*ll you?”
Seeing that Nalan Jing didn’t take him seriously, Wu Li’s tone turned a few degrees colder.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing glanced at him and said:
“Threats are quite childish, change it up.”
“Chen Changsheng is entangled with Seventy Wolf Smoke; who in the Central Courtyard doesn’t know that?”
“He is now the Holy Son of the Purple House Sacred Ground; do you really think you could k*ll me?”
“Such a threat wouldn’t even be believed by anyone.”
