Chapter 614: Third Uncle; Whatever the Spirit Sword Sect Does, It Still Comes Knocking

"Third Uncle, you wouldn't happen to have thoughts about the Spirit Sword Sect, would you?"

"Is that not allowed?"

Third Uncle Chen Shen said, "In terms of strength, the Spirit Sword Sect cannot match the Heavenly Heart Sect; the gap between us is not large. If the Chen Clan wants to rise, wiping out the Spirit Sword Sect would naturally be best. With the Great Qi Dynasty joining in, perhaps we could ally with them—who knows?"

Chen Chuyang cleared his throat, "Third Uncle, aren't you afraid my sister will cause you trouble?"

"Churan, ah, Churan, when did you get here?"

Third Uncle Chen Shen turned around and saw Chen Churan right behind him—could that be what it means?

In an instant, sweat poured from his whole body, and he felt completely unsettled.

He forced an awkward smile and hurried to explain, "Churan, Third Uncle doesn't intend to leave you without a sect; Third Uncle just—"

Chen Churan gave a wry smile, "Third Uncle, it's normal for you to have this idea; I, your niece, wouldn't dare criticize you, but before you act, could you rescue my master?"

"What happened to your master?"

Third Uncle Chen Shen looked at Chen Chuyang, asking this good nephew why he had never heard of this.

Long Ming looked at her son with puzzlement; she didn't know either.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands, not knowing where to begin.

Chen Churan began, "Here's the situation: my master has been imprisoned by the Sect Master, her life and death are unknown, I…"

She briefly recounted, and Chen Churan looked pitifully at her mother and Third Uncle; her second brother wouldn't help, but her mother and Third Uncle should stand by her, and the master could be rescued.

Third Uncle Chen Shen frowned, "Did your master get into a fight with Lingjian Zhenren?"

"Hmm, I don't know the details; I'm completely clueless right now."

Chen Churan doesn't know much; the specifics, why they fought, she doesn't know.

Chen Chuyang, on the contrary, knows, but he didn't tell his sister so as not to worry her.

"Chuyang nephew, do you know what's happening?"

Chen Chuyang shook his head.

Third Uncle Chen Shen didn't continue asking, but gave the nephew a deep look.

Long Ming also sensed something, said nothing, and comforted her daughter.

"Churan, rest assured, mother will definitely find a way to rescue your master. As for you, stay here and don't go anywhere."

"Go then, go rest first."

Chen Churan didn't want to leave; she wanted to…

But she couldn't stay, so Long Ming pushed her away, then handed her over to Shang Hongxue, letting her take the daughter away.

She gave Shang Hongxue a look, ordering her to watch her, stay with her, and not let her out.

Shang Hongxue, having received the order, naturally took Chen Churan back to the room. After they were gone, Third Uncle Chen Shen couldn't help but ask, "Chuyang nephew, what exactly is happening? Why did Elder Xinran suddenly take action?"

"Right, son, Elder Xinran is one of the top combat forces of the Spirit Sword Sect; why can't she let go and fight Lingjian Zhenren?"

They're all Strong Ones; if they fight, it would be unfavorable to Elder Xinran.

They also can't save Elder Xinran; after all, that's the Spirit Sword Sect.

Even though they've considered acting against the Spirit Sword Sect, it was only a thought.

It's hard to achieve; basically unlikely.

"The matter is simple, it's just…"

Chen Chuyang briefly mentioned some details; the two fell silent upon hearing them.

Long Ming looked at her son and said, "If that's the case, we should indeed act. Elder Xinran is too impulsive; she should be ready before moving."

In that case, she wouldn't end up in this situation.

Third Uncle Chen Shen agreed, "Right, Elder Xinran is not an impulsive person; she wouldn't do anything unprepared."

"Why would she be so reckless?"

She even implicated herself.

If it were elsewhere, they might be able to find a way to act.

Regarding the Spirit Sword Sect, it's difficult.

This time, perhaps it's an opportunity.

"Chuyang nephew, do you think this time it's possible?"

I have to admit, Third Uncle is truly clever; he instantly grasped the key point.

This chance is a good one; he immediately seized the moment.

"Third Uncle, do you think our Chen Clan has the strength to clash head‑on with the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Chen Shen shook his head, not even thinking about it; impossible, the gap in strength is too great.

The Chen Clan only has about three members—no, five with Condensed Core, counting Chen Chuyang and the sister‑in‑law whose realm is uncertain; the others haven't taken that step yet.

Within the Spirit Sword Sect, there are many with Condensed Core, not to mention the number of Inner Core and Golden Core strong ones; the Chen Clan cannot clash with such sects.

If it weren't for Chen Chuyang's Protector, the Chen Clan might have been wiped out long ago.

"Our Chen Clan certainly can't, but you can."

"Chuyang nephew, if you act and can cause internal division within the Spirit Sword Sect, perhaps?"

Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, they control many valuable assets.

Especially the Heavenly Heart Sect; despite so many deaths, it remains a colossal entity.

The Spirit Sword Sect has ready resources; perhaps we can, seizing this chance, strike hard.

Even a little would be enough for the Chen Clan to rise.

"Son, would this be too dangerous? If it's too risky, we need not take the chance."

Long Ming was deeply worried; she didn't want her son to take the risk.

They also don't want the Chen Clan to take risks; now this is pretty good.

Let them develop slowly, let them grow slowly; give them a few decades, and they'll surely be able to oppose the Heavenly Heart Sect and Spirit Sword Sect. By then, it won't be too late to start scheming slowly.

She has also just awakened, just regained some cultivation; it's best to proceed steadily.

"Big sister-in-law, opportunities are rare; if you miss them, there won't be any."

"The Spirit Sword Sect is in turmoil; the Black Dragon Guard will act, and the nearby Demon‑Suppressing Army will likely follow and join in the suppression."

"The Great Qi Dynasty must act against these sects; the Heavenly Heart Sect can't move, the Yin Gui Sect isn't necessary, the Spirit Sword Sect has conveniently come forward—if we don't act now, won't we be letting the world look down on them?"

"This battle must be fought; it concerns the future of the Great Qi Dynasty."

Qi Ruohua even dares to go all out like this.

As for them, how could they just retreat?

When they were weak, Chen Shen didn't dare think that way; now it's different.

"But." Long Ming worriedly said, "The Spirit Sword Sect's strength isn't weak; I don't know how many old monsters they have hidden; with just Elder Xinran alone, I'm afraid…"

Chen Shen smiled and said, "Sister‑in‑law, you're wrong; Chu Ran being able to return shows that the Spirit Sword Sect isn't a monolith; the Spirit Sword True Person is someone from Tianwai; internally, they've already split—just missing the right moment."

"When the moment comes, they will naturally act; by then, we might not need to act—the Spirit Sword Sect will naturally split."

"And we can take the opportunity to reap a profit."

The Chen Clan cannot sit and wait for death.

This time, we can take a risk.

If successful, the Chen Clan's rise will speed up.

If it fails, we won't lose anything.

They can't keep being a burden dragging down Chen Chuyang; although Chen Shen doesn't say it, he knows the pressure on his nephew Chuyang.

To take risks, we must take risks.

Long Ming fell silent upon hearing that.

After a long while, she raised her head and looked at her son.

"Son, what do you think?"

Chen Chuyang laughed and said, "I share the same idea as my third uncle."

The Spirit Sword Sect can be stirred up, and in the process we can give those people a warning.
