Just like that, Yang Chen made his way to the Sect Master Palace.

The Sect Master Palace is where Mù Báishēng rests. There are two elders guarding the front of the palace. When Yang Chen arrived, the two elders respectfully said, “Young Sect Master, we’ve been waiting for you. The Sect Master instructed us to let you in without reporting if you come. Young Sect Master, please.”

Yang Chen nodded and politely responded, then entered the Sect Master Palace.

Upon arriving at the Sect Master Palace, Mù Báishēng naturally saw clearly. The moment Yang Chen stepped into the palace, Mù Báishēng spoke kindly, “Yang Chen, have you finished your retreat?”

“Yes, Sect Master.” Yang Chen replied respectfully.

Mù Báishēng waved his sleeves, “Sit.”

Yang Chen didn’t bother with formalities and sat down directly.

Mù Báishēng slowly said, “Yang Chen, do you know why I called you here?”

Yang Chen shook his head, “Please tell me, Sect Master.”

“This matter actually has Beishan Main City asking for our help. Haha.” Mù Báishēng grinned, “Do you know what’s going on? During your retreat, people from Beishan Main City came to visit our Yuanshan Sect!”

“Oh? What’s going on?” Yang Chen became more curious.

People from Beishan Main City came to visit the Yuanshan Sect and seemed to need their help. It would be a lie to say it wasn’t surprising.

Mù Báishēng calmly said, “It’s like this. This matter is related to the Black Dragon Sect!”

“Black Dragon Sect?” Yang Chen squinted his eyes slightly.

When he heard the name “Black Dragon Sect,” Yang Chen couldn’t help but think of that Black Scorpion Envoy. Recalling how he almost died at the hands of the Black Scorpion Envoy last time, how could Yang Chen not hold a grudge? If it hadn’t been for Mei Xiuying’s timely intervention, he might have been forced into a desperate situation, having to reveal the secret of the Tiandu Divine Country.

Mù Báishēng could also tell that Yang Chen still held a grudge against the Black Scorpion Envoy. He said, “Yes, this matter is indeed related to the Black Dragon Sect. Every ten years, the Sect Leader of the Black Dragon Sect, Black Dragon Venerable, would host a longevity banquet. This banquet would invite various major forces from the surrounding provinces to attend. In our North Mountain County, only Beishan Main City is barely qualified to attend. Our Yuanshan Sect, on the other hand, is a little inferior.”

Speaking of this, Mù Báishēng sighed slightly, apparently also feeling quite helpless about the situation.

Yang Chen didn’t care too much about it, but was surprised when he heard about the banquet, “Sect Master, since this has nothing to do with our Yuanshan Sect, what does Beishan Main City’s attendance at the banquet have to do with us?”

“You listen to me. Do you think the Black Dragon Sect’s invitation for various major forces to attend the banquet is just a simple feast? No one knows how many more years the Black Dragon Venerable can live, but with the banquet hosted once every ten years, it’s estimated that he can host several more dozens of times.” Mù Báishēng chuckled.

Yang Chen listened and analyzed slowly, then said, “This banquet doesn’t seem that simple.”

“That’s right. Actually, everyone knows that the Black Dragon Sect is hosting this banquet, but their real intention is to demonstrate their strength. Therefore, every ten years when they host the banquet, the Black Dragon Sect will hold a competition, with young representatives from various forces participating.” Mù Báishēng explained.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “What were the results?”

“The results were naturally that the Black Dragon Sect won more than they lost, basically winning every time. Although the main city forces are not bad, the Black Dragon Sect is, after all, a Supreme Sect, and the geniuses they cultivate, as well as the geniuses they’ve recruited, are all extraordinary.”

Mù Báishēng couldn’t help but sigh, “The intention of the Black Dragon Sect is just that, using the opportunity of the banquet to tell the surrounding major forces that they are the king of the area, and the others should stand aside.”

“So, the other forces can’t refuse?” Yang Chen asked.

“Refuse? Who dares to refuse? Although the main city forces are backed by the Royal Family, the Royal Family is too far away to manage. If these main city forces really refuse the Black Dragon Sect, wouldn’t the Black Dragon Sect find an excuse for revenge?” Mù Báishēng said.

Yang Chen thought carefully and found this to be true.

The Black Dragon Sect was indeed a superpower, with formidable strength.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen had more or less figured it out, “So Beishan Main City’s intention is…”

“What else could it be? Beishan Main City attends the banquet every ten years and is humiliated every time. They can’t get the crown, but at least they should have average results, right? However, Beishan Main City is always at the bottom and performs poorly. They naturally feel very humiliated.”

At this point, Mù Báishēng looked at Yang Chen, “So, Beishan Main City has set their sights on you.”

“They want to take me to the banquet at the Black Dragon Sect?” Yang Chen blinked. How could he not guess Beishan Main City’s intentions?

It seemed that just a few days after he left, Beishan Main City received the invitation to the banquet.

Mù Báishēng nodded, “Exactly. Those so-called geniuses under Beishan Main City’s hands may look fantastic in North Mountain County, but they know deep down that once they leave the county, they are nothing. Now, the only presentable genius in North Mountain County is you.”

At this point, Mù Báishēng was very proud.

After all, the only presentable genius was from his Yuanshan Sect.

Moreover, it was him, Mù Báishēng, who had personally selected and stood by Yang Chen against all objections.

Yang Chen asked gently, “What conditions did Beishan Main City offer?”

“As long as you agree, they are willing to promise you one condition in the future. And they will give some concessions to the Yuanshan Sect in resource competition. Actually, my idea is to let you agree, as long as you follow Beishan Main City, that Black Scorpion Envoy may have a grudge against you, but won’t dare to do anything to you. Of course, whether to agree or not is still up to you.” Mù Báishēng didn’t have any intention of forcing him.

As he said, it was up to Yang Chen to decide whether to agree or not.

Yang Chen did not give a clear answer but asked, “Sect Master, when should we leave for the banquet?”

“It should be about two months later when Beishan Main City will set off.” Mù Báishēng replied.

“Two months later?” Yang Chen murmured, “Sect Master, I have no problem with this matter, but before departure in these two months, I have some matters to deal with.”

Of course, he agreed!

He was worried that he couldn’t find a way to get revenge on that Black Scorpion Envoy.

Although he couldn’t take revenge on the Black Scorpion Envoy this time at the Black Dragon Sect, he had plenty of ways to make the envoy’s face turn pale.

He wasn’t afraid of that Black Scorpion Envoy. Mù Báishēng was right; as long as the Black Dragon Sect didn’t want to risk being attacked by a group, they would never openly take personal revenge against him, who was under Beishan Main City’s protection.
