After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 526 The Daoist Helmsman

Chen Yu’s eyes brimmed with a cold murderous intent. He hadn’t expected this fellow to dare utter such words, especially here in the Taoist Holy Land—for him to act so recklessly in this place!

"Sect Leader Wu, let me advise you, don’t provoke my wrath!"

Wu Sanqi pulled out a Demon-Subduing Pestle from within his robes and hoisted it high above his head. A powerful magnetic field quickly infused the Pestle, and a peculiar light burst forth in an instant.

"Since Mr. Chen is adamant about not cooperating, I have no choice but to kill you." Find more to read at novelbuddy

Chen Yu let out a cold snort, raised his palm, and a large amount of blue-white light was released in a flash.

Before Wu Sanqi could react, his men had fallen to the ground, bodies twitching uncontrollably.

And the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand had also turned into fragments.

"This cannot be, I have been guided by the heavens and attained supreme Divine Power, this object was forged from special materials, how could it shatter so easily?"

Chen Yu’s eyes were filled with disdain as he took two steps forward, placing a finger on Wu Sanqi’s shoulder.

"You simply possess a strange magnetic field which altered certain functions of your body. Did you truly believe it was a power bestowed by the heavens?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the blue-white light surged, instantly destroying the magnetic field structure within Wu Sanqi’s body.

Just as he was about to leave, a young Taoist who looked to be about in his teens suddenly appeared nearby.

"Wow, that’s already taken care of! Mr. Chen really has impressive skills; I was afraid I might be too late."

The murderous aura on Chen Yu’s face immediately dissipated.

Though the young Taoist before him appeared extremely youthful, he emanated an aura of stern righteousness, a stark contrast to Wu Sanqi.

"Little master, you know me?"

"Of course, I do!" The Taoist took out a green-white jade token from his possession and placed it into Chen Yu’s hand.

"You’re the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect! This token is for entering the market on Sacred Mountain. Since we’ve met here, I’ll give it to you now!"

Chen Yu weighed the jade token in his hand, realizing the material was extremely special, containing jade from the southern mountains and several types of precious gemstones.

Moreover, there was a peculiar essence flowing within it, and if one were to absorb it through the skin’s surface, it gave a sensation of crisp and refreshing clarity.

"Entrance token for the market? What’s it for?"

The young Taoist gestured towards a direction not far off.

"Over there is a market on Sacred Mountain. Outsiders can go there to rest. Mr. Chen, you can settle your wife and child in that place."

Chen Yu nodded and immediately headed in that direction with Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan in tow.

The young Taoist then took out a whistle and blew it. Soon after, a large group of people dressed like Taoists emerged from the forest and began to clean up the scene.

This gathering on Sacred Mountain was the most bustling Taoist event in centuries.

All the Sect Leaders of the various Taoist branches had almost all arrived here.

When Chen Yu reached the market, he too was stunned by the scene before him.

This was simply a lavish commercial street.

"Daddy, look! Someone is making sugar figures over there!"

Tuan Tuan exclaimed joyfully and hopped and skipped towards the place.

Chen Yu hurriedly followed. Although this was a sacred Taoist site, one could never guarantee that no one would cause trouble here.

Tong Ya was also captivated by everything around her.

Having lived in the city since childhood, this was her first time seeing such a Taoist market.

Although similar to the commercial streets outside, there was a fundamental difference.

"Miss Tong, we meet again!"

An annoying voice rang out from not too far away as Luo Zhenjia, followed by several Taoists, blocked Tong Ya’s path.

Tong Ya was startled and quickly ran behind Chen Yu.

Seeing Luo Zhenjia, Chen Yu was also infuriated, not expecting this man to dare show up before him.

"Sect Leader Luo, have you come looking for revenge?"

Luo Zhenjia waved his hands repeatedly, his face filled with fear.

"You must be joking, Sect Leader Chen. I’m no match for you, how could I dare seek revenge! I just want to discuss some matters with you."

Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, "If you have something to say, then say it."

Luo Zhenjia looked around cautiously before sneaking up closer to Chen Yu.

"Sect Leader Chen, the purpose of this grand meeting is to determine who will helm the Taoist factions for the next few decades! Do you have any candidate in mind, any Sect Leader you plan to endorse?"

With a helpless sigh, Chen Yu realized that these people had gathered at Sacred Mountain for just this reason.

"What are the benefits of being the helm of the Taoist factions?"

Luo Zhenjia’s face suddenly lit up with excitement, "The benefits are plentiful! We can regulate at will, and we can also enter the Divine Realm behind Sacred Mountain’s back mountain."

"The Divine Realm?" Chen Yu was full of confusion.

"Exactly!" Luo Zhenjia became more and more agitated as he spoke, "You must have heard of Xie Ziran from the Tang dynasty! She ascended to immortality there."

Chen Yu’s head was full of question marks, realizing that after all the trouble, these people were after the so-called ascension to immortality.

He found such an illusory goal laughable upon hearing it.

However, history indeed had its share of unexplainable events.

"I’m not interested in that helmsman position. I came here just to take my wife and child out for relaxation. If you all want to compete for it, go ahead. Even if I were to vote, I’d cast an abstention."

With a disgruntled declaration, Chen Yu quickly left with Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan.

Once the family of three was far away, several Taoists from different factions gathered around Luo Zhenjia.

"Sect Leader Luo, what does Sect Leader Chen mean? Whose vote does he want to cast?"

"Does Sect Leader Chen also want to be the helmsman? If he does, we could all cast our votes for him, but it’s unclear what benefits he could offer us."

"Sect Leader Luo, you have the highest prestige among us. You must have some advice for us."

...

The chirping voices made Luo Zhenjia extremely irritated.

"Enough! He simply doesn’t care about the position of helmsman. Let’s stop flattering ourselves and find some of the older, more experienced seniors."

The crowd was suddenly stunned, the position of Taoist helmsman carrying no small advantages, an aspiration for them all their lives, yet there were still those who looked down upon it.

Luo Zhenjia didn’t say anything more and turned around to leave directly.

Those left behind were in uproar, unsure of what Chen Yu meant.

Currently, Xuanqing Sect was the most powerful among all Taoist factions, and as its Sect Leader, Chen Yu had significant influence. His single vote was equivalent to two or even three votes from other factions.

Now, those older Sect Leaders were trying their best to curry favor with Chen Yu, aiming to secure the votes from Xuanqing Sect.
