Longevity Begins with Internal Organs

Chapter 672 - 398: Return to Azure Dragon

When Zhao Ya led these women out of the Wilderness Jungle and arrived at the headquarters of the Mechanical Sect, the hastily arriving Liang Xin’an was a bit dumbfounded, and then pulled Zhao Ya aside."What’s the deal with these women?"

Although Zhao Ya had sent a message by carrier pigeon in advance, it was impossible to explain everything clearly.

So Liang Xin’an only knew that Zhao Ya had brought a group of people from the Wilderness Jungle.

At first, he thought they were just some lost tribe members, but he hadn’t expected it to be a group of women.

Liang Xin’an was naturally extremely surprised, so he immediately pulled Zhao Ya aside for questioning.

Zhao Ya simply smiled at this, then leisurely said, "Senior Brother Liang, don’t be anxious."

"Nonsense, how can I not be anxious? Our Mechanical Sect is all men, you suddenly bring back a group of women and want them to settle here, what will people say if this gets out?" Liang Xin’an said, full of anger.

Zhao Ya was in no rush, just waiting for Liang Xin’an to vent his dissatisfaction before smiling and saying, "What will they say? It’s not like the people of the Mechanical Sect are monks who abstain from women, what else could they say?"

"Moreover, these women are all pitiful people, they don’t ask for much, just to find a force that can protect them. I thought for a long time and figured that you are the most suitable, so I brought them back here."

"To put it another way, I’m doing this for you!"

"Nonsense, doing this for us disregards the decades of reputation of our Mechanical Sect?" Liang Xin’an was almost at the end of his patience.

Zhao Ya was completely unmoved, even being pointed at and scolded by Liang Xin’an didn’t anger him. He continued smilingly, "Senior Brother Liang, I told you not to rush, so why are you getting upset again? First, I don’t think this is a bad thing for the Mechanical Sect, and second, I never intended to destroy your sect’s reputation."

"On the contrary, I’m helping you create momentum!"

"Helping us create momentum?" Liang Xin’an was puzzled, showing a look of confusion.

"Yeah, why did I go to the Wilderness Jungle this time?"

"Weren’t you there to eradicate the Python God Sect?"

"That’s right, the Python God Sect has committed every evil deed in recent years, especially taking advantage of the many tribes in the Wilderness Jungle going through drastic changes to commit heinous crimes. Their crimes are worthy of death, you have no arguments against this, right?" Zhao Ya said earnest.

Liang Xin’an nodded, "I have no objection to that."

"Later, the Python God Sect even became so arrogant as to extend their reach beyond the Wilderness Jungle, openly spreading their doctrine right under your Mechanical Sect’s nose. You must know about this too."

"I’ve heard as much!"

Zhao Ya slapped his thigh, "Then that’s settled!"

Liang Xin’an looked utterly perplexed, "Settled what? Could you explain clearly, I don’t understand!"

Zhao Ya said, "Listen to me analyze it for you, the Python God Sect has done so many evil deeds, as the closest major sect to the Wilderness Jungle, don’t you have an obligation to eliminate them?"

"That is indeed true!"

Even if Zhao Ya didn’t go, Liang Xin’an had planned to take a few people in due time to eradicate the increasingly arrogant Python God Sect within the Wilderness Jungle.

"But what does this have to do with these women?" Liang Xin’an wasn’t easily swayed by Zhao Ya’s words, still tangled up with this issue.

"These women belong to the Profound Fox Tribe, and they have suffered under the evil clutches of the Python God Sect. As your Mechanical Sect stood up for justice, first annihilating the cult and then rescuing a group of helpless women from their plight, this would be a great story from Beyond the World, wouldn’t it?"

"But the Python God Sect was clearly you... Oh, I get it!"

Liang Xin’an suddenly realized, finally understanding the point.

Zhao Ya smiled merrily, "Good that you understand, no more problems now, right?"

Liang Xin’an furrowed his brows, "It does sound quite good, but the problem is whether this story benefits our Mechanical Sect at all."

The Mechanical Sect had been quite successful in avoiding worldly affairs, especially in recent years, rarely having disciples appear in the Jianghu.

"How can it be of no use?" Zhao Ya sighed, then said quietly.

"I know you people are indifferent to fame and fortune, don’t care about these empty names, but just because you don’t care, do you think the young disciples really don’t care?"

"That’s secondary, the key point is that Beyond the World has reached a turning point, especially what I saw and heard at Wuyang Sea, which further corroborates this."

"If there’s a major change, can the Mechanical Sect always stay out of it? If you don’t seize the opportunity to make a name for yourselves and gather as many talented people as possible, if you always keep yourself locked away, aren’t you cutting yourself off from the Jianghu?"

Hearing Zhao Ya’s words, Liang Xin’an found his expression gradually turning serious as well.

A few days ago, he had secretly asked Jing Rou about what she and Zhao Ya had seen at Wuyang Sea.

However, Jing Rou was tight-lipped about it, only saying that while the trip to Wuyang Sea was bountiful, they also encountered great risks.

Now hearing Zhao Ya mention it again, Liang Xin’an couldn’t help but be solemn about it.

"I understand, but how exactly should these women be settled?"

For the people of the Mechanical Sect, getting them to study mechanics is not a problem, but dealing with this kind of thing leaves them completely clueless.

Zhao Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he finally convinced the Mechanical Sect.

Otherwise, the big talk he had boasted in front of Liu Yujiao and others would have been embarrassing.
