You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"Don't make grand pronouncements; proceed with caution and prudence!"

Never underestimate any competitor!

Chen Yang listened to the group of people talking at once, boasting and exaggerating.

Although I know they meant well, I shouldn't have this kind of pride.

After all, besides the sects in China, there are also many foreign forces.

"Sect Leader, you're right. We must proceed with caution."

"Yes, we must not be careless."

"..."

The twelve immortals nodded in response to his reprimand.

Each of them had a respectful expression on their face.

"By the way, does any of you know anything about the inside story of these families?"

"Or, to find out who can contact them and find out what this 'sky road' they're talking about is."

"What is the connection between them and the Immortal Realm?"

Chen Yang suddenly remembered something and then asked about the situation.

"We've only heard about it, but we don't know the specifics."

“After all, we don’t have the long history of these families, and we don’t know so many secrets.”

Master Huang was quite familiar with the Qingwei School.

After he responded, no one else said anything more.

Clearly, they didn't know either.

"I just heard that the answer might be found in Changbai Mountain."

At this moment, True Lord Xuan Shui spoke.

"Yes, I've heard about it too."

"That remains to be verified."

"..."

After he said that, everyone else started to agree.

Chen Yang sighed, but didn't seem inclined to get up. Instead, he waved his hand gently and said, "Okay, you can go ahead and prepare the venue for the press conference."

"We'll talk again this afternoon when the media arrives."

"it is good!"

"Sect Leader, we'll take our leave now."

"..."

The group agreed and then got up.

Before long, the main hall was empty, and the last few people had all left.

Chen Yang then got up and left the main hall.

Then they headed towards the back mountain of the Qingwei Sect.

Soon we reached the summit.

Looking down, one could see that many disciples were already taking action.

They set up their booth in the square at the foot of the mountain.

Some people set up curtains, while others set up lecterns.

Others were moving chairs, clearly for the reporters.

On the road at the foot of the mountain, many people stopped to watch and pointed at the people.

Everyone was clearly curious about what kind of trouble the Qingwei Sect was going to cause this time.

"Master."

As Chen Yang was watching intently, he heard a familiar voice.

Turning his head, he saw it was Wang Xuan.

"Oh? What brings you here?"

He distinctly remembered someone mentioning that he seemed to have gone back to Jinghui's side.

Originally, he had planned to resolve the matter here and then go to see Gu Jinghui.

We can explain things to them all at once then.

I never expected him to come back.

“I heard from Fat Cat that you’re back.”

"So I rushed back to check on the situation."

Wang Xuan grinned and explained why he had returned.

I came here because of the gossipy fat cat.

"I see."

Chen Yang nodded and smiled, looking at the young man with a change in expression.

Now is the age for development.

It changes drastically after a period of time.

Now, my voice is like a duck's quack, it's changing.

He's also grown quite a bit taller.

After practicing the technique he gave him, his entire demeanor changed.

Even his expression has changed.

He's completely different from the naive young man he used to be.

"Master, is what you said about the spiritual energy revival true?"

Wang Xuan stood beside him, his expression solemn.

Previously, he had a sense of superiority about being able to cultivate.

However, after hearing about this, he gradually felt the pressure.

If this is true, then his advantage is not so great.

There is still a gap for young people.

"Yes."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, and then continued, "From now on, you can't slack off in your cultivation."

"You may be talented, but there's always someone better than you!"

“There will always be someone stronger and more talented than you.”

"Furthermore, what I'm teaching you is just the foundation of cultivation, not some profound technique."

"Most importantly, we're all here to deal with evil spirits."

"If we encounter a true cultivator—I mean, a master with real strength after the spiritual energy revival—our strength will be equal."

"It's not impossible for you to capture his spirit, but you're ultimately limited by our magical artifacts."

"do you understand?"

His words were earnest and heartfelt.

It was obvious that she wanted Wang Xuan to know.

His advantage is gone.

Diligent practice is his only way out.

"I see!"

"Master, I will work hard in my cultivation from now on and I will never let these people surpass me!"

"If I have the opportunity to fall behind them, I have the power to make it impossible for them to catch up!"

Wang Xuan nodded vigorously, his expression solemn: "Master, what about your strength? You also use these techniques and magic weapons."

"I will be affected as well."

"Even rivers will be affected!"

"We are all facing a crisis!"

Chen Yang nodded and sighed, "So, Master, you also need to hurry up and not let them overtake you!"

"I see."

Wang Xuan was somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, you should focus on your cultivation!"

"At least we're starting much ahead of others!"

Chen Yang reached out and patted his head, then looked down the mountain.

"Master, I just heard that you're suggesting that our Qingwei Sect should start recruiting disciples more widely?"

Wang Xuan still had one question.

That's why he suddenly appeared.

Worried that Chen Yang would be too busy later and would leave immediately after the press conference, they decided to leave.

Then he won't have a chance to find out what happened when he comes back.

"That's right!"

Chen Yang nodded.

"Then, won't our secret techniques and cultivation methods fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Wang Xuan was clearly reluctant to part with it.

These are techniques that many people dream of mastering.

That's how you recruit disciples and entrust them with your duties.

How can it be considered secret?

"You need to think about this clearly."

"This is the beginning of the spiritual energy revival! A large number of geniuses and experts will emerge."

"If they don't find the right method, they will either be overlooked or, if they find their own opportunity and cultivate on their own, they will achieve something!"

"Then, once they grow up, sects will be everywhere and gangs will run rampant."

"What advantages do you think our Qingwei School still has?"

Chen Ying looked down at Wang Xuan.

His expression gradually became more interesting after he finished speaking.

"Master, I understand."

"You mean to accept them, give them resources, and let them improve their own strength?"

"I feel a sense of belonging within our Qingwei Sect."

"Not only can it avoid a lot of trouble, it can also strengthen our own capabilities."

After pondering for a while, Wang Xuan's analysis was very logical and reasonable.

“That’s right, exactly.” Chen Yang smiled when he saw that he understood and gently rubbed his head: “Don’t run around too much lately. Stay in Qingwei Sect. It still has a strong foundation here.”

"And those old guys, they can help you improve your strength."

"Following them, for my sake, will solidify your power."

"Okay, then I won't leave again this time I'm back."

Wang Xuan nodded, then suddenly realized something: "Master, do you mean... we're going on another long trip?"

Clearly, what he meant was that he couldn't teach him personally anymore.

Then he naturally wanted to find out the details.

"good."

Chen Yang looked down the mountain: "There's something I need to take care of."

"However, we need to go to the square now to attend a press conference."

"Master..."

Wang Xuan wanted to ask something else.

However, Chen Yang had already gone down the mountain.

The words that were on the tip of my tongue were swallowed back down.

She eventually followed him down the mountain.

Before long, the master and his apprentice arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Head!"

"..."

Many people greeted Chen Yang respectfully as he approached.

Seeing Wang Xuan following closely behind, everyone's eyes were filled with respect.

This is his first disciple, the one most likely to inherit his mantle in the future.

I brought them along to this press conference.

It is clear that the relationship between the master and apprentice was anything but ordinary.

And so, amidst the envious and respectful gazes of the crowd.

The two arrived at the makeshift stage.

"Sect Leader, everything is ready, and the media personnel have almost arrived."

Master Huang hurried over and spoke to Chen Yang.

"Okay, give everyone some time to prepare."

"We will officially begin in twenty minutes."

Chen Yang checked the time and then asked Master Huang to make the arrangements.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Master Huang accepted the order and then hurriedly left.

"Master, you are so impressive!"

Wang Xuan looked at Chen Yang with envy, not forgetting to flatter him.

"You boy!"

Chen Yang slapped him on the forehead, then said seriously, "As long as you work just as hard, all of this will be yours!"

“Master has more important things to deal with and can’t stay here forever.”

"Oh? I can't come, I was just kidding!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan shrank his neck and shook his head repeatedly.

"You little rascal~"

Chen Yang patted him again, then went directly to a spot not far from the stage.

I noticed some disciples here, discussing something.

It looked quite lively.

Some reporters at the scene had already begun to gather in twos and threes.

Some were chatting and laughing, while others were trying to figure out what the meeting was about.

Xuan Shui Zhenjun was receiving the people who had just arrived.

Having experienced certain events, he had long lost his former arrogance.

Instead, they became more approachable.

He's completely different from before.

All these changes originated from this instigator.

Chen Yang.

She squinted her eyes and looked at everything in front of her with a smile.

"Sect Leader, it's about time. There are more than twenty media outlets here this time, all from all over the country."

At this moment, Master Huang came over again to report the situation to Chen Yang.

"Okay, let's begin."

"You will do the opening remarks and act as the host."

"You know what we're going to say!"

Chen Yang nodded, then continued, "Take your time and explain clearly. This press conference is very important."

"It concerns the future of our Qingwei School and whether we can attract heroes from all over the world."

"Understood, leave it to me!"

Master Huang patted his chest, revealing an air of confidence.

"it is good!"

Chen Yang agreed without hesitation and followed him directly to the podium.

Then, they sat down in front of the yellow cloth draped with their Qingwei sect symbols.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

It was at this moment that Master Huang spoke into the microphone.

After he said that...

The scene fell silent.

All the media outlets, as well as some onlookers, turned their heads in surprise.

"Today, the press conference held by our Qingwei School is hosted by our leader, Chen Yang."

"Next, he will talk to you about some of the future arrangements and plans of our Qingwei School."

"Everyone, record this in real time and publish it!"

"First of all, I'd like to thank everyone!"

Master Huang saw that everyone had quieted down.

He cleared his throat, then took the microphone and spoke loudly along with the crowd.

"it is good!"

"Everyone is welcome!"

"..."

Chen Yang could clearly see that there were disciples of their Qingwei Sect below, dressed as ordinary people.

After hearing Master Huang's opening remarks, the team leader began to applaud and cheer.

This was clearly arranged by these people.

"Master, you're really popular!"

Wang Xuan was arranged to sit next to Chen Yang.

Seeing the cheers from below, he grinned and said to Chen Yang.

"Now, everyone, please welcome our sect leader to speak to you!"

Master Huang conceded and then gave Chen Yang the opportunity to start.

Chen Yang coughed lightly and cleared his throat.

Then, adjusting the microphone in front of him, he slowly began to speak to the crowd: "Everyone, thank you for taking the time to attend our Qingwei Sect press conference."

"I need to take up a little of your time to tell you a few things!"

"it is good!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the people below started cheering again.

Chen Yang couldn't help but smile.

"I believe everyone knows or has heard about the resurgence of spiritual energy."

"The martial arts tournament we held a while ago was for this very reason!"

"I'm going to tell you all something now, without exaggeration!"

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "Currently, quite a few talented or awakened individuals have already begun their cultivation."

"Their strength is improving by leaps and bounds, which is a good thing for us."

"However, some people do not know the right method and cannot find the key to their own cultivation."

"These people are relatively less talented, but they are not without a chance."

"Sect Leader Chen! This matter is indeed true, but what are your plans?"

After he finished speaking, a reporter interrupted him and began to ask questions.

"Yes, Sect Leader Chen must have some plans, right?"

"Why don't you say it? Let's discuss it!"

"..."

Once someone takes the lead, more curious people start asking questions.

The press conference quickly entered a lively phase.

"Everyone, you're right, I do have a plan."

Chen Yang listened to everyone's questions with a smile, instead of taking the initiative to speak.

After they had asked their questions, he slowly and deliberately spoke to everyone.

"Sect Leader Chen, please tell me!"

"Yes, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"..."

Many people couldn't wait any longer and started urging us to hurry up.

"Okay, okay, everyone, don't rush!"

"I'll explain this to everyone right now!"

Seeing that the time was right, Chen Yang gestured for everyone to be quiet. (End of Chapter)
