Chapter 636 - 612: Purple Star City, Gu An’s Reminder

"The great Holy Lands are making their move. That’s good news!"

Yang Chan’s face lit up with joy upon receiving the intelligence report from Han Bingyu.

"The Merak Sacred Land is sending the Merak Saint Son, a Supreme Elder, and others to provide support."

This information had come through the Cyan Yuan Sect’s channels—or more accurately, it was sent directly from the Merak Sacred Land.

Since the Merak Sacred Land was taking action, it was only natural that the Cyan Yuan Sect would need to make preparations to assist them against the Alien Race.

The only thing Yang Chan wasn’t quite satisfied with was the personnel the Merak Sacred Land had assigned.

It wasn’t He Zixuan, the Merak Saintess they were familiar with, but Baili Xi, the Merak Saint Son. Although the two were the equally famous Saint Son and Saintess of the Merak Sacred Land, their relationship was far from harmonious, as they each represented a different faction.

They had different backers, and both were competitors vying to become the next Merak Saint Master, which was why they didn’t get along.

The Merak Sacred Land only had one position for a Saint Master; there was no equivalent like a "Holy Mother."

If they failed to secure the position of Saint Master, their future paths would be limited to becoming Elders or Peak Masters. The potential of these roles was vastly different, as were the resources they controlled.

Take the Grand Elder of the Merak Sacred Land, for example. While the title sounded prestigious, he was a far cry from the Merak Saint Master. There was a fundamental gap in their Cultivation as well.

Even if one broke through to become a Blood Exchange Martial Saint, they would only gain access to more Cultivation Resources. Their control over the Holy Land wouldn’t see a significant increase, as the ultimate power still rested in the hands of the Saint Master.

Yang Chan knew a bit about all this from information Lü Zhenghai had mentioned when he returned to the Cyan Yuan Sect previously.

The misfortune that befell Chiyu Peak, where the Cyan Yuan Sect’s Former Sect Leader Liu Xuan and his people resided, was also related to this man. The ones who had instigated Chiyu Peak to go and suppress the Earth Demons were from the Merak Saint Son’s faction.

Thus, while Yang Chan was happy to see the report, a flicker of doubt still crossed his face.

Normally, the internal struggles of the Merak Sacred Land shouldn’t involve an affiliated force like the Cyan Yuan Sect. After all, the two were on completely different levels, and there was no need for someone of his standing to lower himself to deal with the Cyan Yuan Sect.

However, that was just the normal course of things. He had no idea what kind of person the Merak Saint Son was.

If he was petty, calculating, and even enjoyed implicating others, then his arrival in the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty would not be a good thing for the Cyan Yuan Sect.

The man wouldn’t destroy the Cyan Yuan Sect, but if he employed some tactics against them, it would make things very uncomfortable for the sect.

With their low status and weak Cultivation, they were naturally subject to many restrictions and had to be more tolerant.

’I hope the Sect Leader handles the arrangements well. For now, I’ll just stay in the Cyan Yuan Sect and stick to my routine. I need to refine the Qingli Nourishing Marrow Pill as soon as possible!’

There were some matters Yang Chan naturally wanted no part in, as they were extremely troublesome.

And when it came to something like the internal strife of the Merak Sacred Land, Yang Chan was determined to stay far away.

Especially since the Merak Sacred Land was even dispatching a Supreme Elder at the Blood Exchange Level. That was all the more reason to avoid it. For the current Yang Chan, it was best not to get too close to an expert of that caliber. He was no match for them, and it would make him feel very insecure.

’My Martial Arts Cultivation will also proceed step by step, no major changes needed. I’ll just keep improving my Martial Arts Cultivation and break through to the Blood Exchange Martial Saint Realm as soon as I can. Then I won’t have to be so cautious!’

Yang Chan thought to himself, making his plans.

Martial Arts Cultivation was his foundation; naturally, the stronger, the better. Ordinary people were constrained by bottlenecks, but for Yang Chan, given enough time, any and all limitations could be broken. To him, such restrictions were nothing at all.

But before that, it was best to keep a low profile.

"According to the information from the Merak Sacred Land, they should be gathering in Purple Star City in three days. The Cyan Yuan Sect will also need to send some people over."

"Should we go as well?"

Han Bingyu looked at Yang Chan, asking for his opinion.

Normally, Yang Chan wouldn’t go, but that was just under normal circumstances. For instance, with the Purple Void Secret Realm, he had taken the initiative to go himself.

Although the rewards had been great, they had also encountered danger. If Yang Chan hadn’t reacted so quickly and made such decisive choices, they would have ended up in an even more perilous situation.

Therefore, Han Bingyu was unsure of Yang Chan’s stance this time and took the initiative to ask.

If Yang Chan intended to go, she could make arrangements in advance.

Last time, their lack of proper arrangements had resulted in the loss of the Spiritual Materials they had collected in Yu City. Yang Chan didn’t seem to care, but Han Bingyu had taken it to heart. She was determined not to make the same mistake again and wanted to be better prepared, sending the collected Cultivation Resources to a safe place ahead of time.

Some things weren’t safe just by being nearby; only when they were in a secure location could they truly be considered safe.

"We’re not going!"

"The great Holy Lands are clashing with the Alien Race. This is a battle between experts at the Martial Saint Level. Our Cultivation isn’t that strong, so there’s no need to go. We wouldn’t be much help anyway!"

"We can just support them from the rear by refining elixirs!"

Yang Chan replied without a second thought.

He stood to gain nothing from clashing with the Alien Race. Even if the aliens were wiped out, the spoils of war would be divided among the great Holy Lands. It wasn’t his turn to get a piece, so there was no reason for him to be so eager to go.

Besides, even if there were Cultivation Resources to be had, he wasn’t in the mood for it right now. He needed to use up the vast amount of resources he already had on hand first. There was no need to take more risks before he had even consumed what he possessed.
