Chapter 355 Winning over Power (The 2nd update!)_1
At the mountain gate of the Canghai Sect, two disciples stood guard. On hearing the name Gu Chen, their expressions immediately changed.@@@@
However, before they had a chance to go in and report, the sect master of the Canghai Sect and a group of elders had already rushed out in a fluster.
By now, in the whole of the Nine Provinces, the name of Gu Chen, the Butcher and Marquis of Da Xia, was almost universally known.
"To think that Lord Marquis would grace us with his presence, our Canghai Sect has failed to welcome you from afar, failed to welcome you from afar." The sect master of the Canghai Sect, along with several elders, jogged forward and bowed to Gu Chen with great respect.
Though Gu Chen was young, he was a great martial arts master of the Innate Realm, deserving such a welcome from them.
At this moment, both the sect master and the elders of the Canghai Sect were trembling in fear. The reputation of the Butcher Gu Chen resounded throughout the Nine Provinces, and they were genuinely worried that Gu Chen had come to target the Canghai Sect.
After all, with Gu Chen's current strength, annihilating the Canghai Sect would be all too easy.
"Leader Cheng, there's no need to be nervous. I am here today to discuss urgent matters with your sect." Gu Chen said.
The sect master of the Canghai Sect, named Cheng Ying, was a middle-aged man, already fifty-two years old, with a complete cultivation at the Hundred Orifices Stage. Not particularly gifted, he had little hope of reaching the Innate Realm in his lifetime.
"Please, Lord Marquis, this way please."
Cheng Ying wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly invited Gu Chen inside, leading him into the grand hall of the Canghai Sect, and offering him the seat of honor to show his utmost respect.
The sect master of the Canghai Sect had made up his mind that as long as Gu Chen had not come to eradicate them, everything else could be discussed.
Regarding Gu Chen's statement about the imminent invasion of endless demons and ghosts turning the Nine Provinces into a hell, some of the senior members of the Canghai Sect believed it while others did not.
Of course, Gu Chen did not care about that. He was here for one purpose only, to subjugate the Canghai Sect.
In Gu Chen's view, without a martial arts grandmaster of the Innate Realm, the Canghai Sect was the weakest of all the top forces, and submitting to Da Xia was their best option. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Gu Chen had said everything he needed to, and now it was up to the leader of the Canghai Sect to make a wise decision.
After much contemplation, Cheng Ying finally gritted his teeth, abruptly looked up at Gu Chen, and said with a heavy voice, "The Canghai Sect is willing to submit!"
"Leader!"
On hearing this, the group of elders of the Canghai Sect were startled. They were old and had no desire to fight against demons like the warriors of the Jing Tian Department. They just wanted to live out their days in peace within the Canghai Sect.
Cheng Ying did not heed the calls of the elders. He had already seen through the true thoughts of these elders. It was precisely because of these rotten elements that the Canghai Sect had declined to its current state.
"Good, Leader Cheng is wise." Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "I believe that when the great calamity descends upon the Nine Provinces, Leader Cheng will be thankful for his wise decision today."
"I hope so," Cheng Ying nodded with a solemn face.
No matter what, the thousand-year foundation of the Canghai Sect must not be destroyed in his hands, and given the current strength of the Canghai Sect, submitting to Da Xia was indeed the best choice.
The subjugation of the Canghai Sect went very smoothly, which was within Gu Chen's expectations. Afterwards, Gu Chen spoke privately with Zhang Zining for a while, telling him that he was prepared to return their family's Divine Weapon, the Blood Shadow Sword.
