Chapter 136 Growth
With no successor, the Dushi Sect fell into chaos.
Many powerful members of the same clan seized the opportunity and used the fact that Hua Qi's child, Hua Yuan, had fallen into the demonic path to attack her and seize power.
Hua Qi had been the sect leader for many years, and it was impossible for him to be ousted based solely on these matters. There must have been some fabrication and framing involved.
Chen An wasn't truly moved by Hua Yuan's filial piety in repaying her mother, but rather by Hua Qi's strength.
Offering help in times of need is invaluable. If Chen An could lend Hua Qi a hand, even if Hua Qi didn't want to repay him, she would feel obligated to do something for him.
Cultivators who can reach the level of Hua Qi are all proud, and Chen An is not afraid of losing money.
In addition, the new sect leader of Dushimen used Hua Yuan's matter to drive Hua Qi out. Even if it was just to give an explanation to those who supported her, it was necessary to take action to attack Chen An.
Chen An's abilities may not be inferior to the new sect leader, but apart from Chen An, Yihe Sect has no other strong individuals.
If they were to truly confront the Dushi Sect, even just those Nascent Soul stage experts would be enough to annihilate the Yihe Sect.
Bringing Hua Qi over will make the upcoming battles much easier.
Chen An stood up and helped Hua Yuan, who was kneeling on one knee, to her feet: "I promise you, you can focus on finding Meng Huan and settling Sect Leader Hua in the sect."
"You mean, you mean Mother can stay here?" Hua Qi's lips trembled for a moment, her eyes filled with tears, and she asked again with some uncertainty.
Chen An nodded: "Yes."
"I'll bring my mother here and go find her right away."
Hua Yuan turned and left, her steps hurried.
Chen An stared at his back, thinking about the scene of meeting Hua Qi. She had taken Hua Qi's child as a servant, which was extremely insulting. Someone as proud as Hua Qi would definitely be angry.
The candlelight grew dimmer and dimmer until it went out. Chen An didn't see Hua Yuan, but instead saw Wu Siyue.
Wu Siyue's hair, which was draped over his shoulders, was soaked in blood. His white clothes were torn to shreds. Most noticeable were the large abrasions on his face. Half of his face looked as if it had been rubbed by sand and gravel, a truly gruesome sight.
Judging from his appearance, he had just gone through a life-or-death battle.
Who dares to cause trouble at Yihe Sect? And why doesn't Wu Siyue come to find help?
Chen An got up and walked towards Wu Siyue, who was grinning foolishly. He stuffed the pill into Wu Siyue's mouth and asked with a serious expression, "Who did this?"
Wu Siyue immediately tried to vomit after taking the pill, but the pill melted in his mouth and he didn't vomit it out. His injuries were healed by more than half in an instant.
"My injuries are gone?" He sighed deeply and sat down slowly, utterly dejected.
"What's there to be nostalgic about in this injury? Tell me who did it, and I'll avenge you." Chen An nudged his arm, looking completely bewildered.
Wu Siyue sniffed and shook his head helplessly: "It's not needed anymore. He's already dead. I killed him."
"Besides, saying these things isn't a wound, it's the courage I've mustered."
Upon hearing this, Chen An patted his shoulder in surprise and teased, "I didn't expect you to actually kill a demonic cultivator who had achieved the Lesser Completion of the Two Elements. At this rate, won't you be able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator in two years?"
Wu Siyue chuckled twice, then, seeing the bewildered expression on Chen An's face, he suddenly stood up: "You weren't praising me at all."
"Otherwise what?" Chen An laughed loudly. She was genuinely happy for Wu Siyue. "But being able to defeat a high-level demonic cultivator is truly impressive. You've really changed a lot compared to before."
Wu Siyue was only angry for a few seconds before Chen An coaxed him back to his senses.
He has indeed changed a lot, and this change has opened the door for him to become a strong person.
"Here you go." Wu Siyue smiled and took out a cloth bag. Embroidered on the bag was a white crane spreading its wings and flying high. Many clouds floated around the crane, like the crane boy in earth mythology spreading his wings and flying high.
This brocade pouch is all too familiar; it belongs to the Su family, one of the eight great families. The people of that family are extremely pretentious, always using elegance to flaunt themselves, but behind the scenes they do a lot of immoral things.
In particular, Su Shengni, the head of the Su family, is not only philandering but also extremely treacherous and cunning, just like his illegitimate son, Bai Yuanqi.
However, Bai Yuanqi's skill level is far inferior to Su Shengni's. Su Shengni is very good at disguising herself and is not like Bai Yuanqi. She looks like a scheming person.
Chen An took the brocade pouch, weighed it in his hand, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "Not bad, share some with me."
"It was originally meant for you."
Wu Siyue's generosity made Chen An a little embarrassed, but despite her embarrassment, she wouldn't refuse the treasures in the brocade pouch: "Thank you very much."
After giving the items to Chen An, Wu Siyue felt much more at ease. His greatest achievement in this battle was defeating a powerful expert at the Yin-Yang Realm with his Nascent Soul cultivation.
It is impossible for cultivators to fight beyond their level. Throughout history, very few people have been able to do it. Of course, Chen An is one of them.
But apart from Chen An, he really couldn't think of a second person.
Now that's settled, he doesn't need to hesitate anymore; the second person is Wu Siyue.
After seeing Wu Siyue off, Chen An's expression turned cold.
Why would the Su family be near Yihe Sect? If it were simply for studying or gathering information, there would be no need for them to go through such trouble.
No matter where they are, cultivators at the Two Elements Realm are always powerful. If powerful individuals are excluded from the territory of other forces, they will inevitably take action.
Chen An smiled coldly. The Su family and the Cui family were both among the lowest ranks of the eight great families. If the Cui family lost, would the Su family win?
Given that the boy was cunning and treacherous, Chen An kept the matter to himself.
It's never wrong to be prepared, no matter when or what.
First, double the number and strength of the formations within the sect. Then, shower everyone in the sect with spirit stones and resources to help them grow faster. Also, don't forget the mission of capturing demonic cultivators.
After the last great battle, Feng Shouyuan and Feng Mingli stayed behind, and the business of Baoyuan Pavilion naturally became the business of Yihe Sect.
That old fellow became obsessed with cultivation. Although he lacked talent and was older than average, he became a cultivator who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Meridian Opening stage, all thanks to his passion.
His granddaughter, Feng Mingli, was no less impressive. Although her cultivation hadn't progressed much, her alchemy skills had improved to the point where she could now exude spiritual energy as thin as a needle tip from her fingertips.
Because of Qing Yue, the Qing family had never visited, but without fail, they sent a box of medicinal herbs around the time of the middle or beginning of the month.
While the Hua family mother and son were still away, Chen An pondered the affairs within the sect. Since Mu Jingtai and Xuan Qingyuan had chosen to come here and join a sect, they should be given positions.
Xuan Qingyuan is meticulous in his work, which makes people trust him. He is well-suited to receiving visiting guests and is not tired on weekdays, which is good for him to focus on his cultivation.
Mu Jingtai's cultivation came from practice, and the way he practiced was by beating others and being beaten by others. It would be best to send him to capture demonic cultivators.
