As Bai Ze moved, a faint yellowish-brown light appeared on the body of the Nether Serpent Clan Chief.

Amidst the flashes of light, wisps of energy seemed to flow towards Xuan Yanyan.

Bai Ze then stopped what he was doing and said to Chen Tianwen:

"That's all I can do. As for whether Yan Yan can gain Xuanwu's approval, that depends on her own fate!"

Chen Tianwen nodded without speaking, simply watching Xuan Yanyan quietly. At this point, it was up to Xuan Yanyan's own fate; no one could help her.

Ming Quan and Ming Qing, however, looked at the jade bed with tense expressions.

Mingquan, in particular, had a very complex expression in his eyes.

The reason she agreed to Bai Ze's request was because she trusted Bai Ze.

It should be noted that Bai Ze's innate supernatural power is that his words can become law, and Bai Ze is also known for his intelligence.

Therefore, when Bai Ze said that Xuan Yanyan was the most suitable candidate, Ming Quan had no choice but to believe him!

It's easy to understand why Mingquan had such mixed feelings.

Which family elder doesn't want to see their family grow and prosper?

The inheritance of the Xuanwu divine beast presents the best opportunity for the development of the Nether Serpent clan.

Therefore, Mingquan hopes that the person who obtains the Xuanwu inheritance site will be a member of the Mingshe clan.

However, Mingquan also knew that some people did not want Xuanwu to descend to earth again. If it was really a member of the Ming Snake clan who had inherited the legacy, it might bring about the destruction of the Ming Snake clan!

Therefore, Mingquan also hoped that Xuan Yanyan could inherit the legacy.

In this way, those who coveted the Xuanwu divine beast would naturally no longer focus their attention on the Nether Serpent clan.

Ming Quan's complicated gaze naturally fell into Chen Tianwen's eyes. Chen Tianwen understood Ming Quan's dilemma very well, but he didn't know what to say.

Bai Ze spoke first, saying to Ming Quan:

“Mingquan, if I’m not mistaken, the Xuan Turtle Clan should be facing the same predicament as you.”

Ming Quan nodded respectfully and replied:

"Nothing can be hidden from Lord Bai Ze. Our two clans are indeed in such a predicament right now."

Bai Ze glanced at Ming Quan, who seemed hesitant to speak, and continued:

"Some people don't want Xuanwu to reappear, so someone will definitely take over the Xuanwu Secret Realm. I think they'll come after you sooner or later!"

Ming Quan felt bitter. Talking to Bai Ze felt like he had been exposed and had no secrets.

However, considering that Bai Ze wouldn't ask without a reason, and perhaps had a solution, Ming Quan also inquired:

"Actually, the people from the Holy Cloud Sect have already come to our clan. They requested to enter the secret realm with us. I declined, citing insufficient preparation. But it won't be long before the people from the Holy Cloud Sect come knocking again."

Upon hearing the name of the Holy Cloud Sect, Chen Tianwen's heart stirred slightly.

Chen Tianwen still remembered that when they entered the Stellar Secret Realm, the elders of the Blackwater Sect had mentioned the name of the Holy Cloud Sect!

Moreover, that elder also said that the Holy Cloud Sect had ordered the search for those who had ascended to immortality.

As the largest power in the Xuanxian Realm, the Holy Cloud Sect was founded by a disciple of Saint Desa, and even the Realm Lord had to give it some leeway.

Upon hearing the name of the Holy Cloud Sect again, Chen Tianwen couldn't help but think to himself that perhaps all the killings of those who inherited the lineage within the Xuanxian Realm were orchestrated by the Holy Cloud Sect.

Even the annihilation of the Hua family was inextricably linked to the Holy Cloud Sect!

"Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Just as Chen Tianwen was lost in thought, Bai Ze interrupted him.

Chen Tianwen looked at Bai Ze with some confusion. He had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't heard what Bai Ze had said to them.

Seeing Chen Tianwen's confused look, Bai Ze smiled and explained:

"Brother Chen, what do you think we should do about the fact that the Holy Cloud Sect also wants to enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm?"

Chen Tianwen pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Elder, please forgive my bluntness, but I think we should grant the Holy Cloud Sect's request!"

Chen Tianwen's words startled Ming Quan slightly, and then a surge of anger rose in his heart.

The Xuanwu Secret Realm is of utmost importance to the Nether Serpent Clan; how could they tolerate outsiders entering it?

If it weren't for Chen Tianwen's identity and Bai Ze's intimate attitude towards him, the power of the underworld might have already manifested!

Seeing the anger emanating from Ming Quan, Bai Ze smiled and said to him:

“Mingquan, calm down. Since Brother Chen has said so, why don’t we listen to his reasons?”

Ming Quan then suppressed his anger, but did not give Chen Tian a friendly look.

Chen Tianwen didn't seem to mind and continued:

"Elder, since the inheritance within the Xuanwu Secret Realm has already been obtained by the two family patriarchs, it means that the most important thing within the Xuanwu Secret Realm no longer exists."

"The reason why the Xuan Turtle and the Nether Serpent clans go to such lengths to appear hostile is precisely to mislead the people of the Holy Cloud Sect, isn't it?"

"The Grand Elder should also know that deliberately feigning hostility will not make the Holy Cloud Sect completely trust you. On the contrary, it will bring many unnecessary casualties to the Xuan Turtle and Nether Serpent clans."

Although Ming Quan did not agree with Chen Tianwen's suggestion to bring the people of the Holy Cloud Sect into the Xuanwu Secret Realm, he knew that Chen Tianwen made sense, and his expression softened considerably.

Then, Chen Tianwen continued:

"On the contrary, if the Holy Cloud Sect were to enter the secret realm and truly see that there is no so-called Xuanwu inheritance there, and then the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan were to stage a scene of fighting over treasures in the secret realm, then the Holy Cloud Sect would naturally believe it to be true!"

"At that time, not only will your two clans inherit the legacy, but you will also eliminate any worries about being spied on by the Holy Cloud Sect!"

Ming Quan nodded silently. Chen Tianwen was right. However, the thought of letting those guys from the Holy Cloud Sect enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm made Ming Quan feel uneasy.

Chen Tianwen knew Ming Quan's concerns and continued:

"I dare say that even if the Xuanwu divine beast were alive, it wouldn't want to see its descendants fighting each other to survive in the cracks, right?"

"Moreover, as for the Grand Elder's concern that the Holy Cloud Sect might defile the Xuanwu Divine Beast, I think there's no need to worry! With the Xuanwu Divine Beast's abilities, even if it's no longer in this world, it's not something those petty villains can defile at will!"

Ming Quan nodded silently, and at the same time looked at Ming Qing beside him, who also nodded.

Bai Ze smiled slightly and said:

“I also think Brother Chen is right. Based on my understanding of Xuanwu, he should be very happy to see that the secret realm he left behind is useful to his descendants.”

Seeing that Ming Quan remained silent, Bai Ze smiled but said nothing.

Some things cannot be explained in just a few words!
