Chapter 1533

Ah, lately there's just too much to do.

Yeah, the time to open the mountain and recruit disciples is upon us again.

Those wayward disciples of my Dragon Elephant Peak each need me to personally oversee their cultivation.

What's this supposed to be? Lately the sect's rules have gotten sloppy again; my Law Enforcement Hall still can't afford to relax.

The many Elders and Peak Masters, one after another, walked past the three Chen family ancestors, apologetically making amends, then each shook their heads and sighed as they left the main hall.

Seeing the many Peak Masters and Elders, the three Chen family ancestors momentarily felt uncertain.

Brows slightly furrowed, they wondered in their hearts, could the Dao Yi Shengdi really be this busy?

Could it be that we actually wrongly blamed them before?

Thinking of this, the slight displeasure in the three Chen ancestors' hearts quickly dissipated.

They really are tied up with affairs, there's nothing to be done; besides, didn't Qi Xiong also order Ye Zhangqing to set up a banquet for them?

Being able to eat Ye Zhangqing's food, what more could the three Chen ancestors want?

For a moment, facing the many Elders and the Peak Master's apology, the three Chen family ancestors all expressed that they could understand.

After the many Elders and Peak Master left, the three Chen family ancestors then left the main hall accompanied by that steward.

Personally arranged a Dong Fu for the Chen family people; it is the top-notch Dong Fu of the Dao Yi Shengdi.

As for Hong Zun and the others who left the main hall, they should have each returned to their own peaks, after all everyone is busy.

But half a Shíchén later, everyone met again outside a Dong Fu.

This Dong Fu is the one temporarily accommodating the women sent by the Chen family.

Two Chen family members stayed behind at this Dong Fu, cooperating with the Dao Yi Shengdi people to arrange these women.

Not knowing what happened in the main hall, seeing Hong Zun and the others each come, the two Chen family members asked doubtfully.

Seniors, this is...................

Oh, I forgot to say something earlier in the main hall; now that I remember, I'll come over to make up for it.

Something left unsaid? This sounds a bit off, but the two Chen family members didn't think much of it.

Besides, these women were originally sent to the Dao Yi Shengdi's various Elders and Peak Masters; they want to see them, so there's no reason not to let them.

Furthermore, even if you wanted to stop them, you couldn't.

While saying that, Hong Zun and the others had already strode into the Dong Fu.

Then they saw a group of lovely maidens.

Hong Zun and the others didn't hesitate; each stared at one, stepped forward and said with a smile.

May I have a word?

The young ladies will obey the seniors.

Hmm.

Afterwards, the original courtyard full of lovely maidens was, in the blink of an eye, taken away by Hong Zun and the others.

Looking at the now empty courtyard, the two Chen family members exchanged a doubtful glance.

How come these people seem so goal-oriented? Look, just now, the moment they met, Hong Zun and them seemed to have already set their sights.

They went straight for their target, and after just a couple of sentences they took them away.

No way, I remember the ancestor just sent me a voice transmission saying that the Dao Yi Shengdi hadn't seized them.

I also recall that it seemed to let them choose themselves; those willing to stay would be sent to the Dao Yi Holy City.

Or should I ask the ancestor again?

Okay.

The two Chen family members felt something was off, and immediately contacted their own ancestor.

Inside the Chen family's resting Dong Fu, the three ancestors sat around in the Yuàn zhōng, drinking tea; this tea is the finest Dao-enlightening tea from within the Dao Yi Shengdi.

It is very helpful to cultivators; the three sipped while also sighing.

No wonder the Dao Yi Shengdi can develop so quickly; with such Elders and Peak Masters, how could it fail to develop?

Indeed, for the sake of the Sect we must give our all; our Chen family also needs to learn more.

Old Three, you know the Dao Yi Shengdi best; when you go back, you must have the clan study more.

The Chen family's great ancestor and second ancestor spoke in turn, then both turned their gazes toward the third ancestor.

Hearing this, the Chen family's third ancestor nodded slowly, though a hint of doubt flashed in their heart.

He was the first to come into contact with the Dao Yi Shengdi, and his understanding of it is indeed the greatest.

But it seems in his impression, the Elders and Peak Masters of the Dao Yi Shengdi are not like that.

When did those people become associated with diligence and busyness?

But what just happened was something he personally witnessed; Hong Zun and them really do look busy.

Just as the three were speaking, a message came from the Chen family people, inquiring about the three regarding those women.

Upon learning that Hong Zun and the others each ran off to meet those women, and that they were all having private talks, saying they had forgotten to say something earlier.

The Chen family's three ancestors, for a moment, stared at each other, their faces turning ashen.

They just said they were busy with affairs, right?

Seems so.

Immediately they fell into silence—this damn 'busy with affairs' you mentioned? Are you busy going after women?

Moreover, back in the main hall you weren't saying that; now all of a sudden you have something you forgot to say.

The three Chen family ancestors only felt that their earlier sigh was basically feeding it to the dogs.

Just thinking back to what was just said, the three themselves felt their faces flush; damn, having such a group of Elders and Peak Masters, the Dao Yi Shengdi not collapsing is simply like ancestral graves sprouting green smoke.

No, ancestral graves sprouting green smoke isn't enough; it's simply like the ancestral graves exploding—what a tremendous fortune!

Chen Family's Three Elders grim-faced, meanwhile within the Black Rock Realm the distance to Haotu Shijie is no longer far.

At this moment, the one who just became Sect Master of the Black Rock Realm Overlord Sect is a Heavenly Human Realm Sect Master.

He looked speechlessly at the countless Demon Emperors before him.

He found it strange; the Black Rock Realm never used to have so many troubles, but now, after finally seeing heaven-sent fortune fall upon him, he unexpectedly became Sect Master.

But once he became Sect Master, why do things keep piling up day by day?

First came the Space Pirates, fine, the Space Pirates left, and now the Demon Clan has arrived.

Moreover, look at the Demon Clan's lineup—there are over ten Demon Emperors.

What the hell are they trying to do?

However, the faces of the Demon Emperors were even grimmer than his, their smiles having disappeared at some point.

Originally, according to the plan, we would change course and head all the way toward Haotu Shijie, seizing the Tiāndào Qìyùn along the way, and finally wipe out Haotu Shijie as an afterthought.

The plan was fine, and the direction was correct.

But the problem is, along the way, numerous Demon Emperors failed to seize even a bit of the Tiāndào Qìyùn.

In the worlds we passed, the closer we got to Haotu Shijie, the more the Tiāndào Qìyùn seemed to have been gnawed away by a dog—there was none.

Upon inquiry, it turned out they had all been taken by the Space Pirates.

The Demon Emperors wondered, are the Space Pirates in this star field brain‑damaged, or did they get their wires crossed?

Why the hell are you stealing the Tiāndào Qìyùn?

They don't even have a lair, wandering the four seas as homeless drifters—what use is that to them?

If it were just one or two worlds, it would be fine, but every world we passed is like this—it's absurd.

We've traveled so far for nothing—isn't this just a pure waste of time?
