After Chen Tianwen left, Xia Anyu waited bitterly on Devil Mountain for more than a month, but Chen Tianwen did not return!
Finally, after being persuaded by Elder Xia, Xia Anyu returned with him.
With the Sea Emperor killed by Chen Tianwen, the attack of the sea monster tide gradually subsided.
Only the ruined city, attacked by sea monsters, remains as proof of the fierce battle that once took place here!
When Xia Anyu returned to the Immortal Sword Sect, the elders were overjoyed to see her return, and they all inquired about Chen Tianwen's whereabouts!
Xia Anyu could only say that Chen Tianwen had gone to explore Devil Mountain and would return soon.
As time went by, rumors began to circulate within the Immortal Sword Sect, all saying that Chen Tianwen had met with misfortune!
Xia Anyu took out Chen Tianwen's life jade slip to prove that Chen Tianwen was still alive, which barely suppressed some rumors. However, not long after, some people with ulterior motives secretly stirred up trouble again!
Elder Qinglian stood firmly by Xia Anyu's side, which deterred those with ulterior motives from making any rash moves.
Finally, this situation gradually disappeared after Xia Anyu successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Although Chen Tianwen is still the nominal leader of the Immortal Sword Sect, his prolonged absence has caused the sect's affiliated forces to begin to stir.
As the acting sect leader, Xia Anyu was already struggling to control the situation within the Immortal Sword Sect, let alone have time to manage the affiliated forces. As a result, those forces that had originally declared their allegiance to the Immortal Sword Sect declared independence one after another!
The situation of the Chen family is roughly the same. Chen Xiaogu originally came from a branch of the Chen family, but later Chen Tianwen rose to power and insisted on positioning his branch as the main branch of the Chen family!
Now that Chen Tianwen hasn't returned, Chen Xiaogu's strength naturally can't convince the public.
Although members of the Shu family stood up to support Chen Xiaogu, Chen Xiaogu was powerless to reverse the situation and had no choice but to relinquish his position as head of the family!
Finally, at Xia Anyu's invitation, Chen Xiaogu brought his daughter Chen Yumeng to the Immortal Sword Sect, where Xia Anyu and Qing Lian kept him there and raised him within the sect.
The Shu family was grateful for Chen Tianwen's kindness, and Shu Yiyao often visited Chen Xiaogu and his daughter at the Immortal Sword Sect.
Although the Immortal Sword Sect is relatively stable now, it is no longer the dominant force it had when Chen Tianwen was in charge!
The entire Ming Dynasty was thrown into turmoil because of the disappearance of the crown prince and the loss of Taiwuji!
Although Emperor Ming was in charge, preventing major chaos, the princes who originally had no interest in the position of crown prince began to stir with ambition.
Only the thirteenth prince firmly believed that Shi Yan would definitely return, but because he lost Tai Wuji, he was punished by Emperor Ming and imprisoned in the Ming Imperial Mausoleum for five years to reflect on his mistakes!
In a short time, the princes all displayed their abilities, forming factions and expanding their power within the Ming Dynasty, turning the once-powerful Ming Dynasty into a chaotic mess!
The Blood Fiend Sect had been enemies with the Divine Sword Sect for thousands of years. Later, Chen Tianwen defeated the Blood Fiend Sect and brought it back.
However, after news spread from the Divine Sword Sect that Chen Tianwen had not returned for many days, the Divine Sword Sect was the first to jump out and announce its separation from the Divine Sword Sect!
Although Elder Qinglian led the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect to the Blood Fiend Sect to teach them a lesson several times, they were ultimately unable to completely eliminate the Blood Fiend Sect and had to let the matter drop in the end!
Subsequently, the Third Prince expanded his power and came to Qingzhou, and the Blood Fiend Sect was the first to jump out and pledge allegiance to the Third Prince!
Because news of Crown Prince Shi Yan's disappearance had not yet spread throughout the Ming Dynasty at that time, the various factions in Qingzhou were not very enthusiastic about the arrival of the Third Prince.
The Blood Fiend Sect was the first to jump out and pledge allegiance, which naturally earned them great rewards from the Third Prince. Later, after news of the Crown Prince's disappearance spread, the Blood Fiend Sect had already become the number one power in Qingzhou!
At this time, some people secretly said with envy, "The Blood Fiend Sect Master really has a pair of dog eyes. He can spot any bone in a person's bones first!"
The current leader of the Blood Fiend Sect has proclaimed himself the Blood Emperor and ordered that the history of the Blood Fiend Sect's submission to the Immortal Sword Sect be kept taboo. Anyone who mentions it will be brutally killed by the Blood Fiend Sect!
It's really a bit much to ask the Blood Emperor not to hold a grudge against the Immortal Sword Sect, given how much he cares about that period of history!
After the Blood Fiend Sect gained power, the first thing the Blood Emperor did was to attack the Immortal Sword Sect!
However, since it was only recently that the Immortal Sword Sect had taken the lead in dealing with the sea monster tide, everyone was grateful for Chen Tianwen's contributions.
As a result, many people stepped forward to persuade the Blood Fiend Sect, pleading with them to show mercy to the Immortal Sword Sect!
In the end, it was the Third Prince who spoke up, warning the Blood Emperor not to go too far, and only then did the Blood Emperor restrain himself.
However, the Blood Emperor would still send people to cause trouble for the Immortal Sword Sect every now and then.
"Elder Qinglian, do you think the sect leader will come back?"
Standing on the stone tablet where Chen Tianwen once comprehended the Spring and Autumn Sword Intent, Xia Anyu spoke to Qing Lian with a resentful tone and a cold voice.
Qinglian looked at Xia Anyu, who had recently become noticeably thinner, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Anyu, who has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, has long since stopped eating. The reason she is so thin now can only be because the recent events at the Immortal Sword Sect have put too much pressure on her!
Qinglian had lost count of how many times Xia Anyu had asked him this question when they were alone.
In fact, Qinglian understood that in front of outsiders, Xia Anyu was more convinced than anyone else that Chen Tianwen would definitely come back!
The reason Xia Anyu is asking this question now must be because when the sect encounters some difficulties, Xia Anyu starts to miss Chen Tianwen!
It's not that Xia Anyu only misses Chen Tianwen when there are problems.
It's just that ever since Chen Tianwen left, the Immortal Sword Sect has been plagued by all sorts of problems, which is why this illusion exists!
Qinglian didn't know how to comfort Xia Anyu, so he could only say:
"Elder Xia, if there are any changes in the sect, please let me know so we can work together to find a solution!"
Xia Anyu shook her head helplessly.
The last time the Blood Fiend Sect came to cause trouble, Elder Qinglian stepped in and drove away the troublemakers from the Blood Fiend Sect, but Elder Qinglian was also injured as a result and has not yet fully recovered!
Xia Anyu was just a little resentful, resenting that her strength was improving so slowly!
Xia Anyu, aren't you known as the most talented person in the Immortal Sword Sect? Haven't you always been arrogant and self-important?
Why is it only at the mid-stage of the Incarnation realm now?
If you could become stronger, the Immortal Sword Sect wouldn't have encountered so many troubles!
These words had appeared in Xia Anyu's mind countless times. The unparalleled pressure made this once-proud daughter of heaven feel suffocated!
The once elegant and composed senior sister is now pale under the pressure, no longer possessing her former glory!
Sect Leader, if only you were here!
