After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 528 Selection Contest

"Ladies and gentlemen, eating and then leaving immediately, isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Besides," you’re bringing so many weapons up the mountain, what is it that you intend to do?"

Chen Yu’s voice carried a certain authority, effectively silencing these fellows.

Their purpose for going up the mountain was unspeakable, and if they continued to linger here, who knew what kind of accident might occur.

The leading man thought for a moment, then took out a stack of money and placed it on the table, preparing to leave with his followers.

Just as they took a few steps, Chen Yu blocked their path.

"You haven’t answered my question yet. Why are you bringing so many weapons up the mountain?"

The group was getting restless, and the leading man even pulled out a dagger from his waist and aimed it at Chen Yu’s throat.

"Does it concern you how I go up the mountain? Step aside, or I’ll kill you."

Jing Shan immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man’s dagger.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to on the mountain. Let me give you some advice, hurry down the mountain. If my master gets angry, none of you will live."

The group suddenly looked at Jing Shan with a strange gaze, and then they all drew their weapons from their waists.

"Damn it, the news has leaked, we can’t wait any longer, let’s storm up the mountain!"

The bunch of them suddenly became frenzied.

Jing Shan casually grabbed a handful of pepper powder and threw it, then his body dashed out like lightning.

The sound of piercing screams followed; in front of Jing Shan, these fellows had no chance to resist, and before long, they were all lying on the ground.

Jing Shan didn’t bother to be polite with them. After clapping his hands towards the nearby woods, a group of Daoists rushed out, tossing these people onto a garbage truck as if they were trash.

"Sect Leader Chen! The master was right, you indeed came here for a meal. He’s been waiting on the mountain for a long time. Follow me!"

Chen Yu was surprised. Could it be that the Sect Leader on Sacred Mountain could foresee the future?

But on the other hand, there were many with supernatural abilities in this world, and possessing the ability to foresee the future wasn’t something out of the ordinary, especially for someone who was the Sect Leader of Sacred Mountain.

Chen Yu didn’t say much more, responding with a nod, he prepared to follow up the mountain. However, he didn’t expect Jing Shan to stop Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan who were behind him.

"Sect Leader Chen, please leave your wife and child here; our people will take care of them."

Chen Yu frowned. Although this place was a Taoist holy land, such a large-scale gathering attracted all sorts of people to the mountain, and he wasn’t willing to leave his wife and child here carelessly.

"Daoist Jing Shan, could you make an exception? They are not familiar with this place, and I’m afraid..."

"There is no need to worry!" Jing Shan signaled towards the nearby woods, then took out a token and handed it to Tong Ya.

"Miss Tong, this is a token from Sacred Mountain. With it, you can move freely on the mountain. Our master has invited Sect Leader Chen to the mountain to discuss certain secrets of the Taoist path, and we hope you will understand."

Immediately, dozens of Daoists emerged from the woods, encircling Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan, clearly aiming to protect their safety.

Tong Ya was a sensible person. She took the token and waved to Chen Yu.

"Go ahead without worries; with so many Daoists protecting us, we will be fine!"

Chen Yu said no more and followed Jing Shan up the mountain.

At the summit of Sacred Mountain was a grand hall, within which sat more than a dozen Taoist priests in purple and yellow robes, calmly seated as if waiting for something.

As Chen Yu entered the room, all the Daoists present rose to their feet.

The leading elderly Heavenly Master, with a youthful appearance despite his white hair, excitedly came down from his seat.

"Are you the one chosen by Heavenly Master Long Tian?"

Chen Yu immediately performed a ritual salute of the Daoist sect, "I pay my respects to the Sect Leader!"

"There’s no need for such formalities!" The old Heavenly Master said with a smile as he patted Chen Yu’s shoulder, "You really are young. With you here, our Daoist way will prosper for at least another hundred years!"

Chen Yu was taken aback, failing to understand what the old Heavenly Master meant. He released his system but was unable to scan the other’s brain information.

"I am slow-witted, please enlighten me, Sect Leader!"

The old Heavenly Master waved his hand.

"You are of equal status to me, there’s no need for this. I am merely acting as the helmsman of the Taoist sect!"

Before Chen Yu could react, the old Heavenly Master took out a small, crystal-clear jade bead from his person and handed it over.

"Since you’re the one chosen by Heavenly Master Long Tian, you are the Taoist helmsman from now on!"

Chen Yu’s eyes widened in shock; he had no desire to become the Taoist helmsman. He didn’t even want to be the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect and planned to find someone upright and hardworking to succeed him in a few years!

"Elder Heavenly Master, you’re really putting me on the spot here! Moreover, there are so many Sect Leaders gathered here for the Sacred Mountain Convention, it’s not my turn by any means."

The old Heavenly Master suddenly became very solemn.

"Indeed, this matter requires careful consideration. Let’s have a symbolic competition then, although the result is already predetermined."

Chen Yu’s mouth fell open in amazement; it seemed the old Heavenly Master was determined to make him the Taoist helmsman. Discover exclusive content at novelbuddy

"If it’s predetermined, wouldn’t that be unfair to the others? Please reconsider, Elder Heavenly Master."

The old Heavenly Master let out a hearty laugh and took out a map from his person.

"In fact, the selection for the Taoist helmsman has always been fixed. Whoever can destroy the Divine Eagle Sect can become the helmsman without any selection process!"

Chen Yu opened the map and glanced at it. It seemed to be just a small sect located on the fringes of the southern border.

Within the Taoist community, there were many who could eliminate such a sect.

"Then, please ask the Elder Heavenly Master to release this task so that there can be fair competition."

The old Heavenly Master was taken aback and gave Chen Yu a strange look.

"Are you sure you want me to release the task, with no regrets?"

Chen Yu nodded repeatedly, "In any case, we must still compete fairly!"

The surrounding Daoists also looked at him with extremely odd expressions, but they said nothing, instead simultaneously taking out their phones as if they were sending messages.

It wasn’t long before the grand hall on the mountain became lively.

Heads of various sects who were attending the convention gathered here.

The Elder Heavenly Master excitedly pulled Chen Yu’s arm and walked out.

"Presumably, all of you have received the news. You are all aware of the content of this year’s helmsman selection. Now, I only ask you this, does anyone wish to participate?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the many Sect Leaders at the scene knelt down one after another.

"We are willing to forgo the competition!"
