If it were any other leader.

The weakest among them would be at the Seventh Layer of the God Realm.

Without reaching the post-stage of the God Realm, one simply does not qualify to become a leader.

Similarly.

This person being chosen as a leader also indirectly suggests that the Sect regards their strength as likely being no weaker than those at the post-stage of the God Realm.

A genius with such a promising future.

Zhongshan Chong naturally wanted to build a closer relationship.

In response.

Shen Changqing didn't show much emotion, just nodded slightly and turned back to look outside.

Seeing this. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Zhongshan Chong smiled again.

Geniuses.

It's normal to have a bit of arrogance.

The other disciples looking at Shen Changqing's back had different expressions, but none of them spoke.

The long ship cut through the air.

The Pursuit Shuttle traveled at an extremely fast speed.

Fifth-grade Dao arms.

Also drew the covetous eyes of some strong individuals.

However.

Most strong individuals, upon seeing the many strong individuals on the long ship and the Candle Sect banner, retreated voluntarily.

To offend the large Candle Sect for a fifth-grade Dao arm was clearly not worth it.

Up to now.

The news of Candle Sect Master Zhongshan Dongxuan slaying the Martial Sect Master on the Void Battlefield had already spread completely.

One could say.

Since the opening of the Void Battlefield, already two Divine Kings have fallen at the hands of the Dongxuan Divine King.

Among them.

One was even the Universe Divine King.

Such battle records.

Were enough to strike fear into the hearts of other strong individuals.

No matter the current situation of the Candle Sect, whether its power had declined due to the fall of the Sky Peak Divine King, but the name of Zhongshan Dongxuan had already struck fear in the hearts of many ill-intentioned individuals.

If you want to strike at the Candle Sect.

First consider if you can endure the wrath of a Rule Divine King.

The other party had already developed a bloodlust after slaying two Divine Kings.

If you really ran into him, even the forces behind you might not be able to protect you.

Therefore.

Though the fifth-grade Dao arms were valuable, you needed the life to take them.

For those strong individuals covertly coveting but retreating quietly, Shen Changqing acted as if he didn't see them.

He wasn't afraid of others trying to seize it.

With his own strength, combined with the other Candle Sect disciples on the long ship, even if a Ninth Layer of the God Realm struck, they could be slain instantly.

At the Ninth Layer of the God Realm.

He was confident in fighting to a draw.

The only ones who might pose a threat to him were those at the Tenth Layer of the God Realm.

But such strong individuals.

Had many forces behind them.

To offend a Zhongshan Clan for a fifth-grade Dao arm was not wise.

"Direct Disciple Qiu, should we?"

Zhongshan Chong stepped forward, speaking softly by his ear while making a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

He also noticed those covertly coveting strong individuals.

But as a true transmission of the Candle Sect.

Zhongshan Chong had no fear.

Those daring to covet his possessions, he would destroy them.

Among those coveting strong individuals, he did not perceive any grave threat.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing's expression remained calm and untroubled: "No need to create unnecessary complications. Let them watch as long as they don't offend us. But if they are truly ignorant, then we can handle them accordingly."

"Alright!"

Zhongshan Chong lowered his head.

Turning his head to glance at the other, Shen Changqing said casually: "What do you know about the Heavenly Phenomena Domain?"

"I'm afraid I must disappoint Senior Brother Qiu, I have never been to the Heavenly Phenomena Domain,"

Zhongshan Chong shook his head.

When he addressed him as Senior Brother, he did so smoothly, without the slightest awkwardness, despite being two thousand years older and calling himself Junior Brother.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing said nothing further.

He was merely asking in passing.

Since the other was not aware, it wasn't a significant concern.
