Chapter 2127: Chapter 2127: Differential Treatment
"Your Highness, we failed... The Chu family kid still managed to comprehend the Path of Yang."
"Hmm, as expected."
Outside the Yin Yang Heavenly Pool, the Holy Sect leader, who was about to breach the formation laid by the First Elder of the Chu family and the other elders, was now injured, with a body filled with evil aura still containing remnants of righteousness.
"Does Your Highness have so little faith in us? With all our forces plus the Banan Divine Kingdom, Liuhuo Sect, and that traitor Chu Ran, they shouldn’t be able to stand up against us even with their realm suppressed."
A voice came from the voice transmission jade pendant, "After all, they’re not simple either."
The Holy Sect leader hesitated for a moment, then questioned, "Is Your Highness referring to the Chu family’s counterattack?"
"What? Testing me?"
The Holy Sect leader was startled and quickly replied, "Dare not!"
"You must have already witnessed the eerie power of those from the lower realm."
They even know this?
The Holy Sect leader asked, "Your Highness knew them beforehand?"
"I suppose you could say that," said the voice on the other end of the jade pendant, "Continue to send people to guard outside the Yin Yang Heavenly Pool. Additionally, Steward Liang, while Banan Divine Kingdom is undergoing internal shuffling and the Liuhuo Sect’s sword is absent, notify our sect members and take over Banan Divine Kingdom and Liuhuo Sect."
Such a casual remark, yet it determines the fate of one of the Six Great Divine Countries, Banan Divine Kingdom, and a first-rate faction, Liuhuo Sect.
The Holy Sect leader, also known as Steward Liang, showed a solemn expression and admired Your Highness’s strategic prowess even more.
Not only did he foresee this failure.
He also calculated that Ba Tiance of Banan Divine Kingdom was almost certainly doomed, and its internal structure would be reshuffled, making this period the time when Banan Divine Kingdom’s national power is most vacant.
Furthermore, with the Liuhuo Sect’s Fire Transporting God-devouring Sword absent, the Liu Fire Sect Master’s strength would also be greatly diminished.
Moreover, all factions currently have their eyes fixed on the Yin Yang Heavenly Pool.
This is the best time to seize the two major forces!
Thinking of this, Steward Liang felt more respectful, bowing in salute across the distance, "Subordinate understands."
...
Just as Steward Liang said, the battle in the Yang Dao White Pool has completely ended.
Ba Tiance of Banan Divine Kingdom and several generals who followed him all perished, though Steward Liang took away Ba Tiance’s remnant soul.
On the Liuhuo Sect side, Fang Jinghong was severely injured, and everyone had retreated from the center of the battle.
As for the Holy Sect’s side, aside from Steward Liang and the other three Holy Sect evil cultivators, all other evil cultivators were killed.
As for Chu Ran...
The First Elder of the Chu family used a chain that suppresses cultivation and soul to bind him.
"The kindness of the three little friends will be remembered by the Chu family, after this matter, I will report this place to the head of the Murong family," the First Elder of the Chu family made a hand gesture to Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, and Ning Chenxin.
Then he looked at Qu Lv, smiling, "The same goes for Qingcheng Mountain."
Qu Lv waved his hand and said, "It was just to eliminate the Holy Sect evil cultivators, helping you was merely convenient."
Hong Ying whispered to Ning Chenxin, "Junior brother, this faction you’re in seems quite impressive."
Ning Chenxin was helpless, he thought so too.
"Of course..." the First Elder of the Chu family looked at Vice Hall Master Lin below.
Vice Hall Master Lin unexpressionally looked back.
"It seems the Supervisory Temple hasn’t adhered to its regulations," the First Elder of the Chu family smirked sarcastically.
Vice Hall Master Lin calmly replied, "Handle as you will, I only protect the sect disciples, if we can’t even protect our own people, how can we talk about helping other factions?"
The words were correct.
But the actions are indeed unpleasant.
Moreover... The nature of the Supervisory Temple has long been criticized by many, but due to the Holy Court behind it and its own deep foundation and scale, it has been left unresolved.
The First Elder of the Chu family snorted coldly, ignoring Vice Hall Master Lin, instead looking at the bound Chu Ran, seeming slightly pained and said, "To compete for the position of the head of the Murong family, must you resort to such extreme measures?
Even if you don’t become the head, you will still enjoy the benefits and resources, is it necessary?"
Everyone looked towards Chu Ran, but he didn’t show the expected madness or despair.
His expression was calm, as if nothing had just happened.
"Winner takes all, nothing to say, do with me as you will," Chu Ran answered calmly with closed eyes.
The First Elder of the Chu family was furious, chest heaving, pointing at Chu Ran, about to curse, when someone tapped his shoulder.
The elder turned and looked, and his face lit up with delight.
"Third Young Master, succeeded?"
Chu Yan nodded with a smile, the surrounding aura no longer suppressed by the Yin Yang Dao here, having successfully comprehended the Path of Yang.
By comprehending the Path of Yang, one can remain unaffected in the Yang Dao White Pool.
Similarly, comprehending the Path of Yin allows one to swim freely in the Yin-Gray Pool.
But the Yin Yang Path has not yet fused.
Chu Ran glanced over with a faint smile, "As the victor, you can smile."
Chu Yan stared at Chu Ran, shaking his head, "What to smile about, you know I have no interest in being the head."
Chu Ran opened his mouth.
Chu Yan grinned, interrupting, "But I can’t let you be the head either."
Chu Ran: "..."
What is this?
Is it killing the spirit?
Chu Ran closed his mouth, fell silent.
Endured for so long, losing in both power struggle and fighting, at least on the verbal front he must remain undefeated.
Then, Chu Yan quickly approached Hong Ying, grinning mischievously, "Seems like you still have feelings for me, defending me without holding back."
Ye Qiubai and Ning Chenxin exchanged a glance.
What about us?
Is this kid’s gaze only for junior sister (or) second senior sister?
Facing Chu Yan, Hong Ying remained as indifferent as ever, with a poker face, "You helped us, we helped you, it’s natural to reciprocate."
Chu Yan was already used to it, shrugged, "Since it’s reciprocal, now it’s my turn to protect you."
With that, Chu Yan turned his head to look past Hong Ying and addressed Ye Qiubai and Ning Chenxin, chuckling, "The Chu family will protect you, feel free to comprehend."
Ye Qiubai, Ning Chenxin: "..."
To Hong Ying, it’s you protecting her.
To us, it’s the Chu family protecting us.
Good fellow, you’ve mastered the art of language.
The First Elder of the Chu family also patted his chest and said, "The three little friends, the task of protection is entrusted to us."
Hong Ying and the three made a hand gesture, then found a place to begin comprehending.

Meanwhile.
The forces by the Grey Pool are fewer than those by the White Pool.
However, it’s fortunate there are no hostile forces, before anyone has successfully comprehended, no one will take the initiative to start a conflict to seize the other’s successfully comprehended Dao Qi.
He Mengshen emerged from a crevice in the reef, saying, "This place isn’t dense enough, comprehending will take a long time, if we can still withstand the pressure here, shall we explore further down?"
Mu Fusheng, Jiu Bailu, Xu Yeming nodded in agreement.
Gazed around.
Here is completely different from the White Pool, the deeper you go in the White Pool the brighter it gets, here in the Grey Pool it’s pitch black, utterly dark.
The surrounding people have long been scant.
Only the undercurrents brushing against the skin can faintly discern direction.
