Hearing this, Yang Chen suddenly froze.

He and Li Ruoxiang had been ambiguously involved for many years, and he knew it well in his heart. It's just that neither of them had pierced this layer of paper. Now Li Ruoxiang's words could not completely pierce this layer of paper, but they had almost pierced half of it.

In fact, he had never had a bad feeling towards Li Ruoxiang, and she somewhat held a significant place in his heart. Now that she had made this request, how could he refuse it in his heart?

Furthermore, spurred by what his sister had said, Yang Chen's heart was deeply stirred.

"You... don't plan to stay in the Green Lotus Sect anymore?" Yang Chen asked in confusion.

"So many changes have taken place in the Green Lotus Sect over the years. In the early years, I still felt at home here. But now, everything has changed. All that's left are some of my confidants. I plan to send them away from the Green Lotus Sect as well. This place is no longer suitable for me, Li Ruoxiang," Li Ruoxiang said slowly.

"Then, you... plan to follow me?" Yang Chen took a deep breath: "Do you know that I don't have a fixed residence, and no one knows where I will be tomorrow."

"What about that? There's no place for me in this vast world. Only with you can I feel at home." Li Ruoxiang bit her shell teeth.

Yang Chen's warmth in helping her had thoroughly moved her.

Perhaps feeling it was too direct, Li Ruoxiang's cheeks involuntarily turned slightly red, making her look tempting.

"If Miss Li really thinks so, then Yang Chen is naturally eager for it." After thinking about it, Yang Chen eventually chose not to hurt Li Ruoxiang's feelings and spoke.

Hearing this, Li Ruoxiang's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and she smiled: "So from now on, I'll go wherever you go."

"Haha, Sect Leader Li, there's no need for these few days. Tomorrow, I need to head to the Guardian Spirit Array. You can stay in the Green Lotus Sect and take care of my Northern Territory Sect disciples, just in case a war breaks out, and we need to respond immediately." Yang Chen said.

Li Ruoxiang nodded gently: "I understand."

Yang Chen didn't want Li Ruoxiang to go to the frontline, and she knew that, so she didn't go against Yang Chen's wishes.

So, the next day, Yang Chen and the team headed directly to the Guardian Spirit Array. Without saying anything, he found Zhu Hailong to lead them.

He wouldn't let Li Ruoxiang do such a dangerous task. He didn't care about Zhu Hailong's life, so he let him lead the way.

The teams departing were not just from the Northern Territory Sect but also from the Ocean Division Sect and Zhen Mountain Sect. This time, they were riding on the Red Phoenix Flying Ship.

In order to achieve better travel results, the Jin Shi Great Emperor brought out the Red Phoenix Flying Ship. However, Emperor-level strong people did not need it. However, for them, these Sky Martial Realm people needed it very much.

When the large group sets off, the Red Phoenix Flying Ship, a carrier, can be very useful.

Everyone sat on the Red Phoenix Flying Ship, the flying speed was as fast as lightning. They set off in the morning, and by the afternoon, they could reach the Guardian Spirit Array. The speed was so fast, there was no need to say more.

On the way, Yang Chen remained silent and cultivated, ignoring outside affairs. Whether the Guardian Spirit Array would be broken or not, he had been mentally prepared many years ago, and this matter couldn't create any obstacles for him.

It was also the reason why he could be at peace. However, it was different for the other people. The disciples and elders from various sects gathered together, discussing and debating incessantly. Not to mention the peace of mind, even sitting down had become difficult.

It was such a chaotic atmosphere that made Yuan Fei conceive a sinister plan. He glanced around and set his eyes on one of his confidants nearby.

This confidant had reached the Heaven Martial Realm's 8th Layer, and after following Yuan Fei for many years, he had gained Yuan Fei's trust.

Yuan Fei couldn't control someone too strong or someone too weak, so he trusted this man especially.

"Zhang Feng, I have a task for you..." Yuan Fei's lips moved slightly, and he silently transmitted something to this person.

After receiving the order, Zhang Feng was somewhat unwilling at first. But after listening to Yuan Fei talk about the rewards and the low difficulty of the task, Zhang Feng immediately took a sinister interest and agreed.

Afterward, Zhang Feng quickly got up and went straight to Yang Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Seeing Zhang Feng walking towards him, Yang Chen frowned and sensed his intentions, opening his eyes in confusion.

"Deputy Team Leader Yang!" Zhang Feng greeted, cupping his hands.

"Yang Feng?" Yang Chen called his name in confusion. He still remembered some of the names of the Sky Martial Realm experts under his command.

Of course, he only remembered those at the Fifth Level of the Sky Martial Realm and above. In fact, even for the Northern Territory Sect, experts at the Fifth Level of the Sky Martial Realm were rare. Out of the hundreds of people on the team, there were no more than a hundred at or above the Fifth Level of the Sky Martial Realm.

He certainly remembered their names clearly, and Yang Feng, being at the Eighth Level of the Sky Martial Realm, was indeed a rare expert.

"It's an honor for Deputy Team Leader Yang to remember me," Zhang Feng said with a smile. "It seems like I have quite a weight in Deputy Team Leader Yang's heart."

"Zhang Feng, just say what you have to say. There's no need to be evasive," Yang Chen said expressionlessly, seeing that Zhang Feng had ill intentions.

If he wasn't mistaken, Zhang Feng should be Yuan Fei's confidant and subordinate.

Zhang Feng slowly said, "Since Deputy Team Leader Yang said so, I'll get straight to the point. Regarding the Sect Leader's choice of you as the Deputy Team Leader, I have no objection. But, do you have any self-awareness about whether you should hold this position or not?"

"What do you mean?" someone from Changlin Peak couldn't sit still.

"Nothing much, I just want to tell Deputy Team Leader Yang that his strength and ability are not enough to bear the title of Deputy Team Leader. At least I, Zhang Feng, will be the first to disagree. Just a mere Fourth Level Sky Martial Realm strength; there are plenty of them here. Why should he be the Deputy Team Leader!" roared Zhang Feng.

As these words fell, it really attracted the attention of many people. Even people from other sects looked over, and a lively discussion ensued.

That was Zhang Feng's goal; he wanted to gather all eyes here. At that time, it would be difficult for Yang Chen to back down. When it really came to that point, the rhythm would no longer be under his control.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng's mouth curled up. This Yang Chen was really asking for humiliation. What kind of Deputy Team Leader did you want to be if you didn't have the ability? Did you really think the Great Emperor could protect you for the rest of your life?

"Is the Deputy Team Leader of the Northern Territory Sect really Yang Chen?"

"You didn't know?"

"No way, just a mere Fourth Level Sky Martial Realm strength can bear the title of Deputy Team Leader? The Northern Territory Sect as a whole is too casual."

"Could it be that the Northern Territory Sect still has people pulling strings for positions at this time."
