"Su Chen, think it through!" Lan Dingtian's voice grew increasingly tense.

However, Su Chen met Lan Dingtian's gaze without any hesitation, only determination: "I have thought it through very clearly, and I hope the Sect Leader does too."

Su Chen's gaze became increasingly fierce. Today, if Lan Dingtian were to decide to drag the entire Yanxu Palace to stop him,

he might truly be unable to exact revenge.

Although he didn't know much about Yanxu Palace, he was aware that it was terrifying, hiding many powerful figures.

As he was now, he had a chance against Lan Dingtian alone, but facing dozens or even hundreds of the high-level powerhouses of the Broken Eternal Realm, he stood no chance.

Of course, Su Chen also knew that even if Lan Dingtian was extremely adamant today and brought the entire Yanxu Palace down on him, he wouldn't die here!

There was still the Old Dragon.

In the worst-case scenario, the all-white elder in Yanxu Forest would step up to protect him.

And if it came to that, he swore that when he returned, it wouldn't just be a life-and-death struggle with Yuan Tianyan, but with the entire Yanxu Palace.

It all depended on Lan Dingtian's choice, and he hoped Lan Dingtian would make the right decision.

In Su Chen's original estimation, it was impossible for Lan Dingtian to pit the entire Yanxu Palace against him, preventing his revenge.

After all, Su Chen was such a monster, effortlessly outshining all the young talents of War Ancient Sky.

Given time to grow, he could be invincible across War Ancient Sky. Choosing to oppose him, courting an undying vendetta, was dangerous, extremely dangerous.

As the sect leader of Yanxu Palace, every decision Lan Dingtian made concerned the fate of the sect, and he wouldn't dare to gamble.

In fact, Su Chen's original estimation was correct!

However, the unexpected had happened; Yuan Tianyan had obtained the Soul of the Ice Beast God, catapulting him into a peerless monster at the Seventh Layer of the Broken Eternal Realm, escalating his potential and strength by more than tenfold.

In Lan Dingtian's mind, the importance of Yuan Tianyan had suddenly increased by an unknown magnitude.

More than a year ago, when Yuan Tianyan accidentally killed a member of the Xiao Family, which was backed by the legendary Xiao Ziyu, Lan Dingtian had still protected Yuan Tianyan. However, the biggest reason was that the Xiao Family member Yuan Tianyan killed wasn't from Xiao Ziyu's lineage, just a branch line...

Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn't have protected Yuan Tianyan; back then, Yuan Tianyan wasn't talented enough to make him risk the entire Yanxu Palace's safety.

If Yuan Tianyan were still the same as he was more than a year ago, he would have watched as Su Chen sought revenge without intervening. He might even have sided with Su Chen.

However, the current Yuan Tianyan was not the same, now full of potential and promise.

Lan Dingtian had come forward and was even considering pulling the entire Yanxu Palace to stop Su Chen to protect Yuan Tianyan.

Of course, if he really did that, he knew he must harden his heart and eliminate Su Chen on the spot no matter the cost!

But on the other hand, he also knew about the all-white elder in Yanxu Forest. What if the elder stepped up at a critical moment to keep Su Chen alive?

Thus, he was conflicted, unsure of what to do.

This was a dilemma, a choice concerning the fate of Yanxu Palace.

Lan Dingtian wanted to seek his daughter's help. Clearly, his daughter Lan Ge had an unusual relationship with Su Chen and could persuade him, but unfortunately, Lan Ge had already left.

At this moment, the entire Yanxu Palace, top to bottom, from disciples to elders, were watching him. He appeared calm, but his heart was heavy as a Divine Mountain.

The atmosphere grew suddenly tense.

Everyone could see that Lan Dingtian was conflicted.

Suddenly.

Yuan Tianyan spoke: "Sect Leader, I, Yuan Tianyan, live as one of Yanxu Palace and will die as one of its souls. But he, Su Chen, is not. You heard him; he joined Yanxu Palace solely for revenge, to kill me. Even if you let him have his revenge, he won't be grateful to you, nor will he dedicate himself to Yanxu Palace. I admit, he is an unimaginable, Plane-transcending genius of the Eternal Ages, and I can't compare to him. But he doesn't belong to Yanxu Palace, so what use is his genius?"

Indeed!

No matter how remarkable Su Chen is,

what good is it if he doesn't belong to Yanxu Palace?

Many disciples and even high-ranking elders nodded heavily.

In an instant, there was a hint of hostility in their gazes towards Su Chen.

Lan Dingtian's expression remained unchanged.

Yuan Tianyan continued: "Sect Leader, I know you worry that with a genius like him, if you help me today, and Yanxu Palace helps me, and he escapes alive, what then? Imagining it is terrifying. But Sect Leader, if you strike with full force, if all the elders strike with full force, even the Supreme Elders, even if he's a god, he must die today, he absolutely cannot escape."

Yuan Tianyan made a very reasonable point, at least many people in the Martial Training Field were persuaded, and even some high-ranking elders of Yanxu Palace had their eyes filled with a grim killing intent when looking at Su Chen.

Yet without Lan Dingtian's word, no one moved a muscle!!!

"Su Chen, did you hear?" The next moment, Lan Dingtian shouted: "What are your thoughts?"

"Hehe..." Su Chen chuckled, a dismissive laugh, making it clear he had no intention of changing his mind about killing Yuan Tianyan.

Lan Dingtian's expression darkened dramatically, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water, but suddenly, his eyes brightened, an idea struck him: "So, Su Chen, if Our Sect says today that you can have your revenge, would you wholeheartedly join Yanxu Palace?"

This was a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Firstly, Su Chen's talent ultimately surpassed Yuan Tianyan; aside from anything else, at just twenty-six years old, he overshadowed any so-called genius, including Yuan Tianyan.

Secondly, his daughter Lan Ge clearly favored Su Chen over Yuan Tianyan.

Thirdly, the all-white elder.

Originally, he wanted to stop Su Chen from killing Yuan Tianyan because of greed; wanting both Su Chen and Yuan Tianyan alive, with both geniuses remaining in Yanxu Palace, was the best outcome.

But as it seemed now, that was wishful thinking.

Retreating to take the next best thing, just getting one.

Since only one was possible, why choose Yuan Tianyan? Why not choose Su Chen? This was Lan Dingtian's inspired thought, and clearly, it was a good one.

Of course, this was premised on Su Chen truly dedicating himself to Yanxu Palace.

Initially, he stood to protect Yuan Tianyan without considering siding with Su Chen largely because Su Chen wasn't wholeheartedly in Yanxu Palace, but who was to say Su Chen couldn't change his mind?

If Su Chen could dedicate himself, choosing between the two, he would definitely choose Su Chen.
