152: The remnant soul of the emperor, who wasn't very bright

"Understood, Revered Master. Disciple will not contact you later."

Wu Yan acknowledged and continued running towards the Main Hall.

At the entrance of the Main Hall.

Wu Yan straightened his clothes, bowed towards the inside of the hall, and said, "Inner Sect Disciple Wu Yan has come to pay respects to the Sect Master!"

This was the Main Hall of the Qingtian Sect, and it was his first time here, so he dared not enter casually without Jiang Chen's permission.

"Come in!" Jiang Chen's calm voice rang in Wu Yan's ears.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Upon hearing this, Wu Yan slowly stepped into the Main Hall.

When he reached the center of the hall, he bowed again towards Jiang Chen on the throne and said, "Inner Sect Disciple Wu Yan pays respects to the Sect Master!"

"Hmm, you may rise!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand and looked at Wu Yan with a smile, saying, "Wu Yan, do you know why This Sect Master called you here?"

He did not want to beat around the bush and was prepared to have Wu Yan call out his Remnant Soul Master directly, then talk slowly.

"Disciple does not know. Sect Master, please feel free to give any orders; Disciple will not hesitate even if it means going through fire and water," Wu Yan replied righteously.

Although he guessed that Jiang Chen wanted to give him a reward, it was only a guess after all. Thus, he could not be too clever and had to let Jiang Chen say it himself to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Hehe, since that is the case, then call your Revered Master out and let This Sect Master meet him," Jiang Chen said straightforwardly, looking at Wu Yan with a smile.

"Ah! Revered Master?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yan's face was filled with shock, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just a moment ago, his Remnant Soul Master had instructed him not to contact him to avoid being discovered.

But now, Jiang Chen had directly mentioned his Remnant Soul Master and wanted his Revered Master to come out and meet him; it was clear that he had discovered the Remnant Soul Master inside his jade pendant.

Yet, he had never contacted his Remnant Soul Master in front of Jiang Chen. How exactly did Jiang Chen discover it?

Wu Yan was extremely anxious inside.

He did not know whether to contact the Remnant Soul Master in the jade pendant. If he contacted him and brought danger to his Revered Master, he would be betraying his Revered Master.

Meanwhile, the remnant soul inside Wu Yan's jade pendant was also startled upon hearing Jiang Chen's voice, and could not help but tremble all over.

He had hidden so deeply, yet he had been exposed after all. Today, he feared it would be a grim situation.

"Heh, you don't need to worry. This Sect Master has no malice towards your Revered Master; I just want to meet him," seeing the cold sweat on Wu Yan's forehead and his shocked expression, Jiang Chen chuckled and quickly explained.

He knew that saying it so suddenly would definitely scare Wu Yan and the remnant soul inside the jade pendant, so he was not in a hurry.

"This..."

Just as Wu Yan was still hesitating about whether to contact his Remnant Soul Master.

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul hidden in his jade pendant flew out.

It transformed into an old man with an aged face and snow-white hair, standing before Jiang Chen.

"Revered Master, you..."

Seeing his Remnant Soul Master come out on his own, Wu Yan was filled with worry and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But the old man waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Yan'er, do not say anymore. This is my fate. From today on, you are no longer my Disciple. In the future, just Cultivate well in the Qingtian Sect."

After the old man finished speaking, he revealed an expression of relief and looked at Jiang Chen on the throne, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this old man can cooperate with you to become an artifact spirit, but please do not harm Wu Yan and continue to let him be an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingtian Sect."

He did this to protect Wu Yan.

He did not believe that Jiang Chen had called him out just to meet him; there must be some ulterior motive, and it was very likely that he wanted to capture him to become an artifact spirit.

For the sake of Wu Yan's future, he could only sacrifice himself heroically. Anyway, since Jiang Chen had discovered him, he could not escape today.

"Pfft!"

Hearing the old man say he would cooperate to become an artifact spirit, Jiang Chen almost laughed out loud.

This Great Emperor Remnant Soul seemed not very bright. Having stayed in the Time Pagoda for so long, his mindset still had not changed.

With the Qingtian Sect's terrifying Spiritual Qi environment and the Heaven-Defying Divine Artifact that is the Time Pagoda, how could he possibly fancy a Great Emperor Remnant Soul as an artifact spirit?

However, he did not blame the old man with the remnant soul. After all, the old man only had his own value to offer, so it was understandable that he would think this way.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking. This Sect Master does not need you to be an artifact spirit."

"I actually want to give you an opportunity to join the Qingtian Sect. As long as you can join the Qingtian Sect, This Sect Master will reshape your Physical Body, allow you to recover your Great Emperor strength, and live another life."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said slowly, looking at the old man.

"What! Let me join the Qingtian Sect, and you can even help me reshape my Physical Body and recover my Great Emperor strength?"

Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned, staring fixedly at Jiang Chen on the throne.

He did not expect that Jiang Chen would not only refuse to make him an artifact spirit but also want to help him recover his strength and give him a chance to live another life.

But he was just a remnant soul; his only value was to be an artifact spirit for an ultimate dao emperor weapon. It was simply not worth it for anyone to spend great effort to help him reshape his Physical Body and live another life.

Because the materials to reshape a Great Emperor's Physical Body were rare in this world, and their value was no less than an ultimate dao emperor weapon. Doing this made absolutely no sense and was more harmful than beneficial to Jiang Chen.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Wu Yan, standing on the side, was also stunned.

His Remnant Soul Master had just displayed a scene of facing death unflinchingly, and he had thought today would be their last meeting.

But listening to Jiang Chen's meaning, this was entirely a good thing for his Remnant Soul Master. Now he was a bit confused and did not understand what the two were doing.

"How about it? Do you have this intention?" Jiang Chen took a sip of the enlightenment tea handed over by Liu Shu and asked calmly.

He was very patient now.

As long as this old man with the remnant soul hadn't damaged his brain, he would definitely agree.

After he agreed, he would have Li Big Saber take him to be tested, and as long as he passed the test, the subsequent matters would not be too much of a problem.

"Th-this... Sect Master, are you really willing to help me reshape my Physical Body and recover my strength?" the old man asked, stammering slightly.

It was not that he was unwilling, but he was afraid that Jiang Chen was unwilling and was playing with him.

After all, agreeing to Jiang Chen had only benefits for him and no disadvantages at all.
