Primordial Emperor

Duo'an heard Lin Chen's inquiry again and fell silent.

The answers to the following questions involve the secrets of the Flying Crane Sect. After all, no one is willing to disclose the secrets of their sect entirely to others.

Although he was internally displeased with Lei Haotian, truly betraying the sect was something Duo'an found difficult to do at the moment.

"It seems your life is worth less than this information; I'll only ask this once."

"Since you don't want to talk, then go die."

Lin Chen saw Duo'an not responding and, with a cold face, looked at him and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Duo'an shivered all over, swallowing his saliva involuntarily.

Facing Lin Chen, he felt a tinge of fear that if he didn't speak, he would most likely die for sure.

"Don't be angry, I'll talk."

"Our Flying Crane Sect was originally even a second-rate force in the entire Cloud Dragon Kingdom, but not long ago, our Sect Master's cultivation broke through to the Creation Realm Eighth Layer, barely making us a first-rate force."

Duo'an looked at Lin Chen and hurriedly spoke.

"Creation Realm Eighth Layer, huh?"

Upon hearing Duo'an introduce Lei Haotian's strength, Lin Chen squinted slightly.

"Aside from Lei Haotian, how many Creation Realm experts do you have in the Flying Crane Sect, and what are their levels?"

Lin Chen looked at Duo'an and continued to question.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's question, Duo'an sighed, thinking that since he had leaked the secrets of the Flying Crane Sect, he had no psychological burden to continue.

"Including myself, the Flying Crane Sect currently has ten Creation Realm experts. Among them, two elders are in the later stage of the Creation Realm and are both at the sixth layer. Additionally, there are four elders in the middle stage of the Creation Realm, one of whom is at the sixth layer, one the same as me at the fifth layer, and the other two are at the fourth layer. Besides that, the remaining four are at the early stage of the Creation Realm."

Duo'an calmly provided the information about the Flying Crane Sect's experts to Lin Chen.

After listening to Duo'an's account, Lin Chen slightly frowned, thinking that in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, besides Lei Haotian's relatively strong power, others truly couldn't compare with the top-tier forces of Yunlong City.

Even so, with the Jade Cauldron Sect wanting to deal with the Flying Crane Sect, it was impossible to accomplish.

After all, in the entire Jade Cauldron Sect, other than Tian Yizi and Yan Yue, there were no other Creation Realm experts.

Even counting the Sky Howling Demon Wolf and Master Qingxu, there were only four experts at the Creation Realm.

Moreover, the strength of the Flying Crane Sect was not just at the Creation Realm but also included late-stage Creation Realm power.

The Jade Cauldron Sect facing off with them would indeed be difficult.

"Currently, where is Lei Haotian?"

Lin Chen looked at Duo'an and continued asking.

At present, it was necessary to know Lei Haotian's location. Duo'an's trip to the Eastern Domain was likely just a vanguard. If the Flying Crane Sect's army came under Lei Haotian's lead, Lin Chen feared he would have to relocate everyone to the Huangyu Continent.

Of course, Lin Chen had another choice, which was to ask Wang Tong for help.

But since Wang Tong didn't belong to the forces in the Eastern Domain, Lin Chen really didn't want to involve him.

After all, Lin Chen currently didn't want the Jade Cauldron Sect to be exposed too early under the eyes of Central State.

"The Sect Master is now in Yunlong City and should stay for some time."

Duo'an spoke without any reservations, as his life was in Lin Chen's hands, and if Lin Chen detected he was lying, it would be over.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's Second Soul Division immediately brightened, considering it good news.

"Lei Haotian is not at the Flying Crane Sect, so where is he at present?"

Lin Chen asked indifferently, releasing a trace of chill, which startled Duo'an, leaving no room for deception.

"Our Sect Master took the Young Sect Master Lei Hao to Yunlong City. This time going there, one is to have the Young Sect Master participate in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace's assessment, and another is to seek cooperation with the Wu Family of Yunlong City, engaging in the Yunlong Royal Family's succession struggle, intending to curry favor with the Royal Family to strengthen the Flying Crane Sect."

Duo'an looked at Lin Chen and spoke without reservation, facing the coldness emanating from Lin Chen, his heart was filled with dread, and he dared not hide a single truth. He found that Lin Chen was not as simple as he seemed.

Someone who could command the Mad Monk and such a powerful Magical Beast could not be a simple individual.

"Participating in the royal succession struggle?"

"Explain in detail what's going on."

Lin Chen looked at Duo'an and asked with interest.

Although it wasn't clear what use the Jade Cauldron Sect, far in the Eastern Domain, knowing these things was, now that his life was in Lin Chen's hands, Duo'an had no choice but to comply, detailing the succession struggle for Lin Chen.

"The Emperor of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, Yun Tianhe, intends to go into seclusion to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, with the duration unknown. It could be as short as several years or as long as over a hundred years. Therefore, during his seclusion, a prince must be selected to act as regent. For this reason, the major princes are fiercely vying for succession, with many forces already involved. Our Flying Crane Sect, not being a Cloud Dragon Kingdom force, needs to connect with other Cloud Dragon Kingdom forces to participate in the succession struggle."

"If the Flying Crane Sect succeeds in the succession struggle, it will be a founding hero, and the Flying Crane Sect will surely thrive in the future."

Duo'an narrated, and upon saying this, he appeared quite proud, as if feeling it was an immensely glorious matter.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was rendered somewhat speechless.

This succession struggle, if successful, naturally leads to achievements and fame.

But on this path to succession, how many will become stepping stones, and who can guarantee they won't be one among them.

Once siding incorrectly or failing in the succession struggle, the Flying Crane Sect might face complete annihilation.

This Flying Crane Sect sure is reckless. Originally not being a force of Yunlong City, it should have avoided being affected, yet voluntarily approached.

However, such behavior from the Flying Crane Sect is actually beneficial to the Eastern Domain.

Because to engage in the succession struggle, the Flying Crane Sect needs thorough preparation, leaving them devoid of thoughts to deal with the Eastern Domain in the short-term.

As long as Lei Haotian is not personally leading the Flying Crane Sect army here, small-scale conflicts are not feared, and the Eastern Domain is capable of handling them.

Just granting Lin Chen some more time, allowing several elders to break through to the Creation Realm is not a difficult task.

By then, the Jade Cauldron Sect's foundation can catch up with the Flying Crane Sect.

Not only those elders, but also the many martial artists of the Divine Flame Alliance, who had breakthroughs during the great battle with the Red Soul Hall.

And the Lin family army directly under Lin Chen's command, if united, paired with the Killing Formation and Sky Feather Piercing Cloud Bow, can even annihilate Creation Realm experts.
