The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

”Heh, not a Daoist, but a Saintess. That’s just like him,” Mu Qingzhu mocked from within Chen Dong’s body.

Just for the sake of his own son’s position as Daoist, the fact that Chen Dong had comprehended the complete manual was completely suppressed. Now that Wang Wan’Er had comprehended five techniques, Feng Fu had gone and created a Saintess.

This scene was just like those emperors in ancient times who would stop at nothing to pass the throne to their favorite son.

After a passionate, stirring speech, Feng Fu bestowed a pile of treasures upon Wang Wan’Er and made a special point to declare that the status of a Saintess was equal to that of a Daoist.

Chen Dong sneered inwardly.

Then, he saw Feng Fu declare from the high platform, ”The Wangyou Sect and the Black Dragon Sect have gone too far! Our Qixia Sect has already ceded five Spirit Stone Veins, yet they still refuse to relent. Today is not just the day our Saintess receives her title, but also the day our Qixia Sect makes a solemn vow! Those two sects, Wangyou and Black Dragon, vainly attempt to destroy our Qixia Sect, but the Celestial Dao will not permit it! Our sect will surely strike them down! To this end, all true disciples, Elders, and core Inner Sect Disciples are to prepare at once! Tomorrow, you will advance with me!”

A surprised thought from Mu Qingzhu came through: ’Are they really going to fight?’

Chen Dong frowned, replying in his mind, ’It seems too rash, but it doesn’t look like he’s faking it. Feng Fu has had an air of absolute confidence the entire time.’

Chen Dong’s past life memories included those of being a king, so leading troops to war was not unfamiliar to him. The idea of mobilizing the entire sect after just one day of preparation felt unreal. Even if they were all extremely efficient Cultivators, they couldn’t be this careless—unless Feng Fu had a surefire strategy for victory.

Afterward, Feng Fu began appointing his commanders. Chen Dong didn’t watch any longer, instead quietly returning to Little Mist Peak. What did the struggles between sects have to do with him? He had no desire to get involved.

But just as he was about to cultivate, a terrifying pressure descended upon the hall.

The newcomer was none other than the Qixia Sect Leader, Feng Fu. One moment he was on the main peak appointing commanders, and the next, he had appeared in the hall on Little Mist Peak.

The visitor did not come with good intentions. Chen Dong frowned and asked, ”Sect Leader, what brings you here?”

Feng Fu still wore that hypocritical smile of his and said slowly, ”The war is about to begin. Elder Chen Dong is a member of our Qixia Sect, so naturally, you have an unavoidable responsibility. I must ask you to contribute your strength for the sake of the Qixia Sect!”

Chen Dong’s heart sank. ’He actually came here specifically to make me join the battle.’

He immediately said, ”Sect Leader, my cultivation is still shallow. I can’t be of much help at all.”

The moment Chen Dong finished speaking, he found he couldn’t move a muscle.

But Feng Fu just smiled and said, ”Nonsense. Elder Chen Dong, you are the key to this war. We can’t do it without you. From now on, you’ll stay by my side!”

And just like that, as if he were bound, Chen Dong was easily taken away by Feng Fu.

As the morning clouds glowed with the sunrise, hundreds of thousands of streams of light flew out from the Qixia Sect. At the very forefront was a Xiayun ox cart pulled by six pristine, jade-white oxen. The carriage behind them was as magnificent as a palace, and Chen Dong was inside.

Besides Chen Dong, there were three other people in the palace-like carriage: Sect Leader Feng Fu, and a young man and woman.

The male cultivator wore a set of blue robes and had a dignified appearance. The female cultivator was dressed in a flowing Xiayun dress and had a bewitching look. The two were none other than the Qixia Sect’s Supreme Elders, Feng Qing and Wei Yanlan.

”Little Fu, I’ve been observing this person for a long time, and I don’t see any sign of a Saint about him! Could we have made a mistake?” Wei Yanlan asked with a frown.

Feng Qing also wore a solemn expression. ”This concerns our entire strategy. We can’t afford any carelessness!”

Feng Fu’s hypocritical smile remained. ”There’s absolutely no problem. I saw it with my own eyes and felt it myself. He is without a doubt the reincarnation of a Saint. Besides, he was able to comprehend the complete Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual. That alone is proof enough!”

Wei Yanlan said in surprise, ”What? He comprehended the complete Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual? Isn’t it too much of a waste to just send him to his death like this?!”

Feng Qing and Feng Fu both shook their heads slightly.

Feng Fu said, ”No matter how good his talent or how outstanding his constitution, if he cannot be used by us, he is worthless. It’s better to use him as a great weapon to be delivered to that old devil Li Mo!”

Hearing this, how could Chen Dong not understand their plan? They were going to use his Saint’s Body as a bomb, letting that Li Mo kill him so that Karmic Fire would sear Li Mo’s body, allowing them to eliminate a powerful opponent.

Chen Dong wanted to scream that he wasn’t a Saint, that it was all just a bluff, but right now he couldn’t make a single sound. He was completely under Feng Fu’s control. He couldn’t even send out his Divine Sense. How could a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator break a restriction placed by a Nascent Soul Stage expert?

After hearing this, Wei Yanlan was still a little regretful. ”But he’s a Saint! If he were willing to be loyal to our Qixia Sect, we could take down the Wangyou Sect in a hundred years without even resorting to any schemes.”

Feng Fu chuckled lightly. ”Don’t think about the impossible. This person’s origins are unknown; we can only trace him back to the Wang Family in Drunken Immortal City. Besides, no Saint has appeared in the Wangyou Realm for tens of thousands of years. This person must be a reincarnation from another realm. He has already awakened his past life’s memories. Do you really think he would be loyal to the Qixia Sect?”

Wei Yanlan pondered for a moment and nodded. ”I suppose not.”

Feng Qing said, ”Then let’s stick to the plan. We’ll lure out the two Supreme Elders from the Wangyou Sect. You take this person to confront that old devil Li Mo, and then let this person die at old devil Li Mo’s hands.”

”As long as that old devil Li Mo dies, the Wangyou Sect will surely fall into chaos. The people in Liucheng are also ready. The Black Dragon Sect will be left for them to deal with!”

Meanwhile, Chen Dong’s mind raced, desperately trying to think of a countermeasure.
