Hua Huo was well aware of Su Chen's temper. If Cheng Wanli really wanted the super fertilizer formula, Su Chen definitely wouldn't agree. If there was a verbal conflict, a fight might break out. Cheng Wanli was indeed very strong, but Su Chen wasn't weak either. With the Strategy Group's current combat strength, as long as they cooperated well, although it was impossible to take down a Heaven's Equal expert, taking down a peak Clear Heaven Realm expert wouldn't be a problem at all.
But that was where the problem lay.
If Cheng Wanli was just an ordinary peak Clear Heaven Realm cultivator, it wouldn't be a problem to kill him, but he was an inner disciple of the Taiyu Sect. He represented the Taiyu Sect. If he killed an inner disciple of the Taiyu Sect, once the Taiyu Sect investigated, even the Lord Ancestor Dragon wouldn't be able to protect Su Chen.
Su Chen wasn't worried that Su Chen couldn't defeat Cheng Wanli, but that if they did, the consequences would be too severe.
Not to mention killing Cheng Wanli, even angering Cheng Wanli would be a catastrophe for the Sacred Dragon Hall and the Immortal Dawn Sect.
The Dragon God Temple was one of the Three Sacred Sects of the Spirit Mountain, second only to the Spirit Mountain. Its status was above the Nine Blessed Paradises, and its seventy-two prefectures were two levels lower than the Three Sacred Sects. There was no comparison at all.
Even the strongest of the seventy-two prefectures, the Heavenly Dipper School, could only obediently kowtow to the Three Sacred Sects.
The Sacred Sects couldn't be humiliated!
In the Spirit Mountain, this was a principle that even a three-year-old child understood.
Su Chen naturally understood what Hua Huo was worried about. He really didn't want to have anything to do with the Three Sacred Sects too early. It wouldn't be beneficial to his plans.
The Three Sacred Sects used to be the former subordinates of Yu Tianheng, but that was in the past. The current Three Sacred Sects had long been reformed by Lady Providence. The experts who'd followed Yu Tianheng in the past were either dead or in seclusion. Very few of them stood in public anymore.
Even if Su Chen used Yu Tianheng's clone, there was an eighty percent chance Cheng Wanli wouldn't recognize him. Even if he did, there would only be harm and no benefit.
Running away was not shameful. In fact, it was very useful. If you couldn't afford to provoke trouble, then don't provoke it. The further you ran away, the less trouble you would have, and the more secure your own safety would be.
Su Chen was not a brute who was bold but not astute, so he naturally understood this principle.
However, even if he could escape for a while, he couldn't escape forever.
Su Chen was going to come in contact with the three sacred sects sooner or later. So, it was a good opportunity for him to get some information about the three sacred sects through Cheng Wanli.
Furthermore, Su Chen had his own trump card. His current backer was the Heavenspan Empress.
In front of the absolute power of a Martial Emperor, who could control everything, the three Saint Sects were nothing.
Even Lady Providence, the ruler of Spirit Mountain, was nothing.
With such a backer, Su Chen really had nothing to worry about.
"Since I'm here, there's no harm in meeting him."
Su Chen turned around and walked into the hall.
Hua Huo and Shuang Jiuzhou were stunned. They'd already spoken so clearly, but the Dragon God didn't feel the slightest sense of danger. What a waste of breath.
"Forget it. Our Dragon God has his own considerations. Let's just do as he says."
"Gather the Dragon Race's strategy team. If a fight breaks out, we need to rush over and help the Dragon God."
… …
Inside the hall, Su Chen was playing with Shuang Xiaoman in his arms when a handsome man in a loose golden robe walked in.
This was the Skyspace Sect's inner disciple, Cheng Wanli.
The current three sacred sects were ranked according to strength. They were the Tianshu Sect, the Skyspace Sect, and the Returning Profound Sect.
The Skyspace Sect was ranked second. It had been founded 1,700,000 years ago. At first, it wasn't a cultivation sect of Spirit Mountain's Calm Province, but rather a wandering sect. It wasn't until it met Yu Tianheng and was subdued by him that it descended on Spirit Mountain's Calm Province and took root there.
The Skyspace Sect was considered an anomaly in the cultivation world because the cultivation system of the Skyspace Sect was very messy. Not only did it have the cultivation system of Spirit Mountain's Calm Province, but it also had the brilliant evolution techniques developed by countless civilizations under the stars.
The disciples who joined the Skyspace Sect had to inject a liquid called "Geno Fluid" into their blood vessels. They had to fully learn the deep structure of the human body and have insight into the gene arrangement in each cell. They had to modify their own genes in order to obtain the perfect gene.
This was a compulsory course for every disciple of the Skyspace Sect.
The requirements of the three sacred sects were extremely harsh, and the Skyspace Sect was the most stringent. It was said that during the most stringent period, the Skyspace Sect hadn't recruited any new disciples for a thousand years.
It was said that the total number of cultivators in the Skyspace Sect was less than 200, which was less than the other two sacred sects. However, with these 200 disciples, the Skyspace Sect was able to surpass the Returning Profound Sect and was second only to the Tianshu Sect. This showed how tyrannical the comprehensive strength of the Skyspace Sect's disciples was.
Cheng Wanli was indeed an inner disciple of the Skyspace Sect.
But in fact, there was no distinction between inner and outer disciples in the Skyspace Sect.
Every cultivator who joined the Skyspace Sect was a top-notch genius who was highly recognized. Once they entered the sect, they would enjoy great benefits. Even now, the Skyspace Sect would only accept a new disciple every hundred years or so. Cheng Wanli had joined the Skyspace Sect for less than a hundred years, but he was already the youngest junior brother. No one competed with him for resources. All the senior brothers and senior sisters would teach him cultivation and help him improve his strength as long as they had time.
This situation would only change after the next disciple joined the sect.
Therefore, Cheng Wanli was now in high spirits. He claimed that he was an inner disciple of the Skyspace Sect, but in fact, his status and background were far from comparable to the inner disciples of other sects.
However, most cultivators didn't know much about the Three Sacred Sects. They had only heard of the Three Sacred Sects but didn't know much about them. Naturally, they didn't know how powerful Cheng Wanli's background was.
Of course, Su Chen didn't know either, but it didn't matter whether he knew or not. Even if Cheng Wanli was just one of the many inner disciples of the Three Sacred Sects, even if he was the most inconspicuous one, he wasn't someone the other sects could provoke.
To him, it didn't matter how strong Cheng Wanli's background was. In that case, why should he care?
"Haha … Su Chen!
I finally get to see you. "
Cheng Wanli let out a hearty laugh as soon as he walked into the hall. Shuang Xiaoman, who was sitting on Su Chen's lap, was so scared that she almost jumped up.
Su Chen patted Shuang Xiaoman's back, indicating that she should go out and play by herself. Shuang Xiaoman was very sensible and immediately left.
Only then did Su Chen get up to greet him.
"Brother Cheng, you came from afar. I hope you can forgive me for not coming out to meet you. May I know what business you have with me?" Su Chen said politely.
