Chapter 980 The Greatest Benefit (Part 1)
As Master Li expected, everyone present actually owed Yang Chen a favor just now. Elder Li just pretended that he was so happy that he forgot all about it and agreed casually. The other sect leaders also followed suit and took advantage of the same opportunity to agree.
Although all the sect leaders are dissolute in their deeds, they are all like a mirror in their hearts. Just like the Great Elder of Guangyuan Cave just now, when he said he would give him a beating, he was not talking to the Blood Demon Sect Master and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Master, but to the other sect masters. It was not the Blood Demon Sect that made him suffer. The Sect Master and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Master, but the other sect masters who just didn’t believe in him.
There is no doubt that Yang Chen is related to the Dragon Clan, so it is actually expected by everyone that he wants this Dragon Palace. For each sect leader, Yang Chen's acquisition of this Dragon Palace is more reassuring than any other sect's acquisition.
The special thing about this dragon palace is that there is a trapped dragon formation in the square. And this Dragon Trap Formation was actually able to firmly trap the Dragon Puppet in the middle stage of Golden Immortal, unable to move. All the sect leaders have tasted it, so they naturally know how powerful it is.
It is obvious that this Dragon Palace should be the natural enemy of the Dragon Puppet. If allowed, every sect would want to get this cave magic weapon. But everyone knows that this is impossible.
Except for the Five Elements Sect, any sect that gets this Dragon Palace will naturally stand on the opposite side of the Five Elements Sect. The strategic weapon of the Dragon Puppet is now the treasure of the Five Elements Sect. At least before the Murong sisters ascended, with the Dragon Puppet around, the Five Elements Sect was safe and sound and would not be threatened by any sect, not even the Zhao family.
But if there is this dragon palace, then there will be a way to restrain the dragon puppet. The Five Elements Sect will never allow a super sect to take charge of this cave magic weapon and suppress the Five Elements Sect. That really happened. Once the Sanjiang Alliance thing is over this time, the next step will definitely be a deadly conflict between the Five Elements Sect and a certain sect, and it is even possible that all Taoist sects will be involved.
Other sects can't do it, and neither can the Five Elements Sect. Other sects will never tolerate the Five Elements Sect having dragon puppets and occupying the Dragon Palace where the dragon puppets are restrained. Thus. The Five Elements Sect will soon become a serious problem for all sects. One day, the Five Elements Sect may become the second super sect's public enemy besides the Zhao family.
Since all sects are not suitable to master such a big killing weapon. Then Yang Chen, a person who has a good relationship with everyone, becomes the first choice and a target that everyone is willing to trust.
Yang Chen is very suitable. His wives and concubines belong to the five major sects of the Tao sect. Now Yang Chen has no preference for any sect. He will not be an enemy of that sect. Especially Yang Chen's concubine Murong sisters also control the dragon puppet, so it makes sense that the trapped dragon formation is in Yang Chen's hands.
For the Taoist sect, whether it is the dragon puppet, a great killing weapon, or the trapping dragon formation that restrains the dragon puppet, it is all in the hands of the Taoist sect. This is obviously in the interests of the entire Taoist sect.
For the demon clan and the casual cultivator alliance, Yang Chen's mastery is obviously more acceptable to them than any super sect's mastery. And everyone understands it. The current actual controller of this Dragon Palace is Yang Chen. Even if everyone refuses to hand it over, will Yang Chen take the initiative to hand it over?
So, for those reasons. Everyone knowingly and tacitly handed over the Dragon Palace to Yang Chen, so that there wouldn't be any disputes and everyone was happy.
Although Yang Chen has actually taken control of the Dragon Palace, since it was obtained in such a large-scale battle, he needs a suitable reason to keep it in his hands, both emotionally and rationally. I just mentioned this when everyone was happy, and it was a matter of course that all the sect leaders agreed. It was justifiable to hold this Dragon Palace, and no one could say anything else. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can go to all the major sect leaders to argue with him. I believe few people have the courage to do so.
Yang Chen was happy, and Yang Chen's wives and concubines were also happy. Obtaining this wooden Dragon Palace meant that Yang Chen had collected four of the Five Elements Dragon Palaces, leaving only the metallic Dragon Palace that he had not yet obtained. But now that four of the five elements have been successful, can the remaining one be far behind?
The Dragon Puppet is indeed a strategic weapon. At least on the battlefield, no monk has dared to actively attack the Dragon Puppet. Sister Murong easily controlled the dragon puppet to fly to the mountain gate of the Sanjiang League. After killing and questioning several masters of the Qingyun Sect, Sister Murong returned to the Dragon Palace with the two core elders of the Sanjiang League. But unfortunately, the leader of the Sanjiang Alliance has disappeared without a trace.
Even though the area has been cordoned off, that doesn't mean there's no way out. The blockade is tight, but the underground cannot be completely sealed. If you are willing to go thousands of miles underground like Yang Chen did when he searched for the Fire Dragon Palace, no matter how powerful the formation is, it will not be possible to go deep there.
Ordinary monks just have no way to escape because they have been entangled by masters in the battle circle. However, the leader of the Sanjiang Alliance has always been heavily protected. Seeing the dragon puppet appearing, being trapped and then reappearing, the leader of the Sanjiang Alliance knew that the situation was over, and decisively left a substitute and escaped alone.
You must know that this is the mountain gate of the Sanjiang League. There are countless disciples of all sizes in the Sanjiang League, not just the Xuanxian level disciples. This time, none of the Sanjiang League's disciples below the level of Heavenly Immortal appeared. They were hiding in a certain space magic weapon at first.
The alliance leader escaped alone, intending to take advantage of the Xuanxian disciples to pester the masters of each sect to escape with these disciples. These are all seeds, and there will still be a chance of revival in the future. Even if the Sanjiang Alliance is no longer tenable, these hundreds of thousands of human, immortal and earthly immortal disciples are also huge resources for the Zhao family and cannot be given up.
In such a big battle, no matter how confident you are, you must prepare for the worst. These are decisions made by the Sanjiang Alliance from the beginning when they knew they would face the alliance of major sects, and they were also the last resort to retain their strength.
It is absolutely impossible to truly exterminate a sect in a short period of time, especially when there is a Zhao family behind the Sanjiang Alliance, it is even more impossible.
Not only some core figures in the Sanjiang Alliance knew this very well, but even the sect leaders of the major sects also knew it very well. This battle is said to be about annihilating the Sanjiang League, but in fact it is mainly about wiping out the top forces of the Sanjiang League. As long as there are no such masters, no matter how many ordinary disciples the Sanjiang League has, it will still be a second-rate sect, not even as good as the current Chunyang Palace.
When they saw the two core elders of the Sanjiang Alliance, the sect leaders knew that it was absolutely impossible to capture the leader of the Sanjiang Alliance.
