Chapter 936: Chapter 32: Return to Shu [Combined]_3

Placed anywhere, it could still make a comeback.

But the problem was, Daoist Cang Sheng had given the Eastern Sea Time Wheel to Yang Shenlong.

This was clearly not a coincidence, for he had already taught Yang Shenlong the secret code to control the Eastern Sea Time Wheel. Although Yang Shenlong’s cultivation wasn’t sufficient to wield it, he could still simply put away the Divine Artifact.

Daoist Cang Sheng’s intentions were quite clear—in this crisis, he had chosen Yang Shenlong as the next leader of Penglai.

Elder Cang Qiu was already dissatisfied with this, for without a doubt, he was the strongest cultivator in Penglai after Cang Sheng’s death. He had thought he would become the new leader of Penglai, yet Cang Sheng had passed the Divine Artifact to the inexperienced Yang Shenlong!

Especially after Yang Shenlong returned from his trip to the Far West Land, he even discussed the feasibility of Chu Liang acquiring Penglai with several elders.

Although Chu Liang had offered very generous terms, those who had not left Penglai Upper Sect by this time were absolutely loyal to the Sect; anyone with even slightly wavering loyalty would have already fled.

With such a deep grudge between Penglai and Shu Mountain, everyone naturally had their reservations.

Elder Cang Qiu seized this opportunity to raise his arm and call for rebellion, pushing Yang Shenlong into a corner and preparing to force him to hand over the Eastern Sea Time Wheel.

Daoist Cang Yun, however, abided by Daoist Cang Sheng’s last wish and firmly supported Yang Shenlong. Unfortunately, few stood on his side.

"Elder Cang Qiu," Yang Shenlong waited until the crowd had quieted down before he spoke, "I want to ask you, if I give you the Eastern Sea Time Wheel and let you become the new Sect Leader, where would you lead Penglai?"

"I..." Cang Qiu was taken aback by his sudden question, paused, and then replied, "Naturally, I would find a territory and establish a new Sect base."

"But even now, there is still a significant number of Penglai disciples left. Most areas simply do not have enough resources to sustain them. If we want a large amount of resources or a Fairyland, it would inevitably lead to conflicts with other Sects. At this time, no one would support us Penglai. Our situation is also not suitable for making enemies again." Yang Shenlong calmly continued, "Other than Chu Liang, there are very few who wish and are able to help us."

"Those are problems for later." Cang Qiu swept his sleeve dramatically, "Just hand over the Divine Artifact first, the rest we can calculate later."

"You have always been overbearing and rude in your actions. When you were in charge of the Eastern Sea area, there was widespread discontent leading to the local Sects losing faith and loyalty. If it weren’t for that, how could we have ended up with nowhere to go today? If Penglai falls into your hands, the Sect will be destroyed." Yang Shenlong spoke with chilling calmness. The calmer he was, the more agitated Elder Cang Qiu became, "Do you really want to snatch the Divine Artifact and cause Penglai to split once again?"

"I don’t need your guidance on how to act!" Cang Qiu snapped coldly, "To repel outsiders, we must first secure our internal situation. If you don’t hand over the Eastern Sea Time Wheel today, don’t blame me for not considering old feelings!"

His robes fluttered, and suddenly there was a violent sound of thunder.

"Cang Qiu, how dare you!" Daoist Cang Yun also swept his sleeve, and a hurricane surged from behind him.

"Then let’s see whose methods are stronger." This was just what Elder Cang Qiu wanted. He might not outwit Yang Shenlong in terms of wisdom, but in terms of cultivation, no one present was his match.

"Shenlong!" Daoist Cang Yun urged hastily, "My cultivation is inferior to his, and if it comes to blows, I fear I’ll be defeated. Give me the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, and I’ll suppress this scum first!"

But to everyone’s surprise, Yang Shenlong just smiled lightly and then shook his head, "Senior Brother Cang Yun, you needn’t waste your effort acting. I know that even if you’re not with him, you are certainly harboring ulterior motives; you won’t deceive me today."

"..." Daoist Cang Yun stiffened at his words.

After a moment, he withdrew his facade of righteous indignation and put on a frosty demeanor, "You’re quite the schemer for such a youngster. No wonder my Senior Brother Cang Sheng was fooled by you into entrusting the fate of the Sect into your hands. In a few decades, perhaps you really could grow into a figure of authority. Unfortunately, now is not your time."

Elder Cang Qiu turned around, his voice equally cold, "Today, if you don’t hand over the Divine Artifact, don’t expect to leave."

"I never planned to leave in the first place." Yang Shenlong remained relaxed, "The ones who should be fleeing are you."

While he was confronting the two of them, Yang Yuhu had secretly taken the Token and sent out a message consisting of just two words.

[Yang Yuhu]: "Take action!"
