Wu Chang sized up Zhang Chen and said in an unfriendly tone, “Did Master give you my share of the Beast Garden?”
“Yes, I’m indebted to Master’s kindness. Master also said at that time that he would have other arrangements for Third Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen had already guessed their intentions.
Wu Chang narrowed his eyes. “The waters of the Beast Garden are very deep. You can’t grasp it. If you’re smart, take the initiative to hand over the benefits of the Beast Garden.”
“I think I can handle it.” Zhang Chen was neither arrogant nor humble.
Wu Chang smiled disdainfully. “Looks like you’re not smart enough. Only smart people can live in the Blood God Sect for a long time. Fourth Junior Brother only obtained 15% of the benefits at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.
“You’re only at the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Do you have the ability to take 20% of the benefits of the Beast Garden? The most important thing for people is to recognize their own strengths.
“Let me be frank with you. If you take the initiative to share the benefits, I’ll acknowledge you as my junior brother and let you have 5% of the benefits like Sixth Junior Brother.”
“You want to acknowledge me as your junior brother, but I don’t want to acknowledge you as my senior brother.” Zhang Chen looked straight at Wu Chang, no longer as polite as before.
He also needed a large number of resources to cultivate and did not want to give up his benefits so easily.
Wu Chang was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. He might not be his match, but he had no problem protecting himself.
Moreover, his sect mission had been completed, and he had at least three years to develop steadily.
With the speed at which his strength was improving, Wu Chang would definitely not be his match.
“Good, very good.” Wu Chang was so angry that he laughed. His aura at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm spread out without reservation, wanting to suppress others with his power. “Do you think you can look down on me just because you have Master’s support?”
Hong Longguang looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I still need to cultivate, so I will excuse myself.” Zhang Chen ignored Wu Chang and turned to enter his cave.
“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Wu Chang’s gaze was ruthless. It never crossed his mind that Zhang Chen, who was at the first level of Foundation Establishment, would dare to reject him and not take him seriously at all.
“Third Junior Brother, don’t be angry. Benefits move people’s hearts. Some people can’t see themselves clearly. It’s normal for them to be unwilling to give up benefits.”
“Hmph!” Wu Chang snorted coldly and turned into a blood light to leave.
In the cave abode.
Zhang Chen put away the talisman brush and talisman paper. He knew that there would be trouble soon. The most important thing now was to increase his strength with all his might. He could put aside the matter of making talismans for the time being.
The fastest way to increase his strength now was to create Blood God Sons.
On the other side, after Wu Chang left Zhang Chen’s cave abode, he arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.
As long as Zhang Chen died, the dividends of the Beast Garden would still belong to him.
Therefore, the first thing he thought of was to use the sect mission to deal with Zhang Chen.
He had been in the sect for more than a hundred years and had some connections. Moreover, he was at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Most people would give him some face.
Most people knew how to choose between a first-level Foundation Establishment cultivator and a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Which senior brother is in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall now?” Wu Chang asked an internal affairs disciple.
“It’s Senior Brother Shen Gengyuan,” the Internal Affairs disciple said respectfully.
“Report to Senior Brother Shen that Wu Chang, the third disciple of Elder Blood River, requests an audience.”
“Yes.” The internal affairs disciple hurriedly turned around and went to the back hall to report.
The Internal Affairs disciple quickly returned. “Senior Brother Wu, please follow me.”
Not long after, Wu Chang arrived at the inner hall.
“Junior Brother Wu, why are you looking for me?” Shen Gengyuan had a smile on his face which made people feel comfortable.
Wu Chang cupped his hands. “I would like to trouble Senior Brother Shen to arrange a mission for someone.”
Shen Gengyuan nodded. “Who do you want to assign a mission to?”
“His name is Zhang Chen. He just became a direct disciple three years ago.”
“Zhang Chen?” Shen Gengyuan was slightly surprised when he heard this familiar name.
Seeing this, Wu Chang asked, “What’s wrong? Does Senior Brother Shen have any difficulty?”
Shen Gengyuan shook his head. “Junior Brother Wu, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help you, but a month ago, Zhang Chen had already completed the sect’s mission. If you want to arrange it, you have to wait three years.”
“He has only reached the Foundation Establishment realm for three years and has already completed the mission?” Wu Chang was stunned.
Shen Gengyuan explained, “Previously, my 19th junior brother asked me to arrange a mission for Zhang Chen.”
Wu Chang frowned and said reluctantly, “In that case, I won’t disturb Senior
Brother Shen anymore.”
“Take care, Junior Brother Wu.”
Shen Gengyuan watched Wu Chang leave with a hint of curiosity. “What kind of person is this Zhang Chen? He has just reached the Foundation Establishment realm and has already offended so many people.”
Outside the Internal Affairs Hall.
Wu Chang’s face darkened. “I didn’t expect him to have completed the sect mission. However, I have methods to deal with him in the sect!”
Blood River Peak, in the cave abode.
The bat demon reported respectfully, “Master, as you expected, Wu Chang went to look for Zhang Chen. He wanted Zhang Chen to take the initiative to
give up the share of the Beast Garden, but Zhang Chen refused.”
The Blood River Elder’s expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry. “Even if Zhang Chen agrees, I’ll give the order to stop him. By the way, did Zhang Chen show any anger?”
“No,” the bat demon answered truthfully.
“Go and tell Wu Chang to quickly form his core. As long as he forms his core, the Beast Garden will be handed over to him to manage in the future.” “Yes.” The bat demon bowed and left.
The Blood River Elder narrowed his eyes and muttered, “The first and third disciples are not in the Core Formation realm. I need to force them. I don’t have the patience to wait any longer.
“Zhang Chen, I’ve given you so many resources. Don’t disappoint me with your cultivation speed.”
Then, the cave abode fell silent again.
“Pa! Pa! Pa!..
Wu Chang had just returned to his cave abode when he heard the sound of bat wings flapping behind him.
The bat demon did not transform into his human form and said in the air, “Wu Chang, Master has ordered you to form your core as soon as possible. After you form your core, he will give you full authority to manage the Beast Garden.”
“Yes, Master!” Wu Chang bowed.
The bat demon didn’t say anything else and turned to fly away.
Wu Chang’s expression was ugly. “No wonder he gave my share of the Beast Garden to Zhang Chen. It turns out that he wants to force me to form my core!”
Although he was the third disciple of Blood River Elder, his cultivation level was higher than his second senior sister’s.
Twenty years ago, he was already at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
However, seeing that Hong Longguang refused to form his Golden Core, he naturally realized something and stopped improving his cultivation.
After asking around, there were almost no new elders in the Blood God Sect. Many disciples from the other factions were unwilling to form their cores, which explained the problem.
“Hong Longguang hasn’t reached the Core Formation stage after so long. Why can’t I?” Wu Chang made up his mind and planned to continue delaying.
In the next few months, Zhang Chen lived very calmly, as if he had been forgotten.
“Looking at the time, it’s my turn to guard the Beast Garden and deal with matters again.”
Zhang Chen placed a Blood God Son into his body and cultivated it before getting up and walking out.
A blood light streaked past like a meteor and landed outside the core cave abode of the formation at the top of the Beast Garden.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m here to take over.”
“Seventh Junior Brother, I’ll leave this place to you. The Beast Garden has been unstable recently. You have to pay more attention and don’t let anything go wrong.” Hong Longguang seemed to be implying something.
Zhang Chen seemed to be deep in thought. “Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Brother.
I’ll be careful..”
