Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 402: Chapter 205: Sect Wanderer

Chen Cheng asked, "What if a disciple from another Sect came into the Great Dao Sect’s territory and was killed without a trace?

As long as there’s no evidence proving an expert of the older generation did it, that should be fine, right?"

Shen Zhiming shook his head. "That sort of thing has happened many times.

But when a True Disciple dies abroad, their Sect will always dispatch experts to investigate.

During the investigation, they inevitably bring a large retinue, and in the end, that territory becomes jointly controlled by several sects."

This kind of behavior was utterly shameless, nothing short of blatant extortion!

Chen Cheng said, "Since the Taiyi Sect’s True Disciples go around plundering resources, aren’t they worried that True Disciples from other sects will do the same in their territory?"

"Far from being afraid, they welcome it." Shen Zhiming sighed softly. "The Taiyi Sect declared long ago that any Sect Wanderer from another sect who can defeat their True Disciples may roam freely within the Yun State territory under their control!

The Taiyi Sect will even dispatch an Innate Realm Expert to act as their Guardian, ensuring their safety in Yun State.

But if they cannot defeat the Taiyi Sect’s True Disciples, then they must accept their fate and bear the consequences."

Shen Zhiming clearly wasn’t speaking idly. Realizing this, Chen Cheng asked:

"So you’re saying the Taiyi Sect’s True Disciples have already arrived in Su State’s territory?"

Shen Zhiming nodded. "Precisely.

News just arrived from Linji City. A dwelling believed to belong to a powerful martial artist has been discovered in Sanmen Prefecture, which is part of Su State. Sect Wanderers from all the major sects are rushing there.

Sanmen Prefecture has become the focal point of the Northern Territory."

"So you’re saying the True Disciples from the various sects are going to come to blows in Sanmen Prefecture?" Chen Cheng asked.

While his words were true, they were a bit blunt. Shen Zhiming shook his head and chuckled, "Perhaps so!"

"Then my master... he’s considered part of the older generation. He won’t get involved, will he?" He didn’t care how the Sect Wanderers fought and killed each other; Chen Cheng was only concerned for the people close to him.

Shen Zhiming replied, "Elder Zheng is indeed considered part of the older generation. Normally, he wouldn’t clash with Sect Wanderers.

However, since a dwelling has appeared in the Great Dao Sect’s territory, the older experts from the Sect will likely go investigate.

As Elder Zheng holds a position in Sanmen Prefecture, it’s highly likely he will go."

As if he’d thought of something, Shen Zhiming suddenly paused. He gave Chen Cheng a meaningful look and said,

"Let the Major Sects handle their own conflicts.

For now, we should focus on dealing with the drought and demon scourge in Linji Prefecture.

It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb your rest, Lord Chen."

"Very well. You should also get some rest, Lord Shen." Chen Cheng gave a slight nod and walked Shen Zhiming to the door.

...

After seeing the chatterbox off, Chen Cheng was in no mood to continue Cultivating Martial Dao.

He brewed a pot of tea, sat down at the stone table, and let his thoughts drift.

’Even the True Disciples of a Major Sect like the Taiyi Sect have to wander the world, fighting for all sorts of resources.

Clearly, resources are still scarce for Martial Arts Cultivation, even at the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Organ Refining Realms.

With my current Martial Arts Power, it won’t be long before I’ll likely be in the same position.

When that time comes, I’ll inevitably be drawn into the conflicts between the Major Sects.’

’Laying low is out of the question. The moment I do, my Martial Arts Cultivation will stagnate.

I’ll inevitably fall behind, and if you fall behind, you get beaten down by their Iron Fists!

Ah, forget it. I’ll just take it one step at a time!’

...

Meanwhile, after leaving the courtyard where Chen Cheng was staying, Shen Zhiming made his way to the garden in the rear of the County Yamen, his mind surging with emotion.

’This Lord Chen is truly a True Dragon among men. For our Shen Family to have forged a connection with him is a tremendous blessing!’

Just then, He Xingwen hurried in from outside. Upon seeing Shen Zhiming, he rushed over and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Master!"

"It’s so late. Are you here to see Lord Chen?" Shen Zhiming asked in confusion.

Usually, if there was business, Shen Zhiming would summon He Xingwen. Therefore, for He Xingwen to come here now, he must be looking for Chen Cheng.

He Xingwen nodded. "Lord Chen instructed me to inquire about the Chen Family in Chen Family Gully of Qingxi Town. He told me to report to him as soon as I had any news.

The men I dispatched have just returned, so I came immediately."

"Oh. Then you should go report to him."

Shen Zhiming gave a slight nod, watching as He Xingwen hurried away.

He sighed softly again and murmured to himself, ’Although Lord Chen doesn’t value the Literary Dao, his actions are just as he says—aligned with righteousness and the Dao. This, in turn, subtly aligns with the Path of Literary Law.

A man of such outstanding talent is truly extraordinary!

I previously thought his Martial Arts Cultivation Progress was so fast simply because he was obsessed with the Martial Dao, a true Martial Fool.

It seems I was too quick to judge and held some preconceptions!’

It was actually quite normal for Shen Zhiming to have held such a preconception.

After all, ever since arriving in Moshan County, Chen Cheng had shut himself in his courtyard all day Cultivating Martial Dao, paying no mind to worldly affairs.

He really did seem just like a Martial Fool!
