Chapter 1401 The Prince
"Since you are of Saint bloodline, you must have inherited a Saint Path too?"
"With that thing, you would be one of the future Saints."
"However, this is not a good thing, as there are people watching you now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang chuckled and said, "I don't have any Saint Path. I don't even know who the Saints of the Chen family are."
"When you say people are watching, are you referring to the Luo family?"
"I heard some news before that the Luo family has been collecting all the Saint Paths. Since you are the Lord of Arms, you must have helped them deal with similar matters."
"What exactly is a Saint Path?"
Facing Chen Yang's question, the Lord of Arms showed a bitter smile. Although hidden behind his mask, Chen Yang could still sense a trace of helplessness in his voice.
"I only found out about the Luo family's affairs recently."
"The collection of Saint Paths was personally handled by the Luo family members. I used to wonder why Luo Yunkai would inexplicably go out alone sometimes."
"Only later did I realize that Luo Yunkai was looking for clues to Saint Paths."
As for Chen Yang's question about whether he knew anything, the Lord of Arms said slowly, "The Luo family's collection of Saint Paths is true, but it is an extremely long process."
"Not one or two years, nor a thousand or a hundred years, but tens of thousands of years."
Chen Yang's expression immediately showed surprise, and he looked at the Lord of Arms with disbelief.
In the Lord of Arms' view, Chen Yang did not believe such a long time was possible.
But he didn't know that Chen Yang had already understood long ago that the Luo family had been secretly planning for everyone's Saint Path.
This was the joint idea of Dao Saint and the Saints of the Qin family.
Chen Yang's feigned ignorance was a way to see how much the Lord of Arms knew.
"You seem not to believe me, but that's understandable."
"When I learned of these things, I felt the same way."
"The Saint Paths collected by the Luo family are not for every Luo Saint Emperor to possess; the ancestors behind the Luo family also have to select candidates."
"Currently, Luo Yunkai has not collected a single Saint Path. In another few hundred years, when the next Luo Saint Emperor appears, he will have no chance."
"He will be obliterated among countless Luo Saint Emperors, and that too, without leaving any trace!"
"As for why I know..."
The Lord of Arms knew that to gain Chen Yang's trust, he had to provide some substance.
The Chen family now had three Nascent Soul realm cultivators, a terrifying force throughout the entire Luo Saint Dynasty!
Although the Chen family's influence might be the greatest, having three top-tier combatants in the Nascent Soul realm undoubtedly made them the foremost family.
"Lord of Arms is not my name; it is a title I inherited."
"Legend has it that the Lord of Arms can command a million troops, not just of one dynasty!"
"This is also a Saint Path!"
"But this path was taken by the Luo family, and they even severed the bloodline inheritance of the Lord of Arms."
A hint of surprise flickered in Chen Yang's eyes.
Chen Yang had previously suspected that the Lord of Arms might be related to Saint Paths, but he had not expected the connection to be so complicated.
"Then you..." Chen Yang looked at the Lord of Arms with a strange expression.
Since the Luo family was not the ultimate decision-maker, what was the origin of this Lord of Arms?
The Luo family should have chosen one of their own for such an important position.
A bitter smile surfaced beneath the Lord of Arms' mask. "If I told you I am a prince of the Luo Saint Dynasty, would you believe me?"
As soon as the Lord of Arms spoke, Chen Yang's eyes widened. This was something Chen Yang had never considered before.
This Lord of Arms was actually a prince of the Luo Saint Dynasty?
However, upon closer thought, this possibility was not out of the question.
The Luo Saint Dynasty would absolutely not let such an important position be held by an outsider; it had to be one of their own.
"I was, but I am no longer."
"Luo Yunkai is considered my brother, though we are from different mothers."
"Originally, I intended to be a leisurely prince, but the position of Lord of Arms was too important. My father's intention was for me to hold this position for a few decades and then, after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, be granted territory."
"But who could have imagined that I would hold this position for a hundred years?"
The Lord of Arms' voice was filled with emotion.
Now, very few people knew his true identity.
Even in front of Luo Yunkai, he was no longer a prince of the Luo Saint Dynasty, but the Lord of Arms.
"However, what they don't know is that although the bloodline and Saint Path of the Lord of Arms were taken by them, this position is still very special."
"As long as one obtains the title of Lord of Arms, they can obtain the true inheritance of the Lord of Arms!"
The Lord of Arms rarely spoke of this matter, but Chen Yang was different from others.
Chen Yang hailed from the Chen family, and since the Chen family was also a Saint family, he would likely understand his feelings very well.
"Do you ever have a feeling, deep down, that someone has always been looking out for you?"
"Whether in cultivation or in other matters!"
Chen Yang's brow furrowed.
A mere title had such a profound effect?
"I'm not sure... The Chen family is a simple Saint family, and its inheritance has been broken for too long."
"I don't even know what the cultivation techniques of the Chen family are."
Chen Yang was not joking. None of the cultivation techniques he currently practiced originated from the Chen family.
One was the Heavenly Physician's Technique, and the other was the Nine Secrets of the Heavenly Sorcerer.
Coincidentally, Chen Yang was also planning to return and ask his elder sister about the Chen family's cultivation techniques.
"Hmm? Then your Chen family is indeed in a more dire situation."
"The Lord of Arms might be different from other Saints; he not only has his own Saint Path but also gained recognition from heaven and earth. Therefore, the true inheritance can only be grasped after taking over the title of Lord of Arms."
"I am currently a treasure chest, and the Luo family has taken the key. You should understand if I put it this way."
Chen Yang's eyes lit up. Although the Lord of Arms was born into the Luo family, it was clear that the Saint Paths of the Luo family had nothing to do with him.
Chen Yang immediately understood the meaning behind the Lord of Arms' words and said with a smile, "You want me to help you take back the key to the Lord of Arms' Saint Path?"
Hearing this, the Lord of Arms instantly stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on Chen Yang, and he spoke word by word, "What the Luo family has taken now does not belong to them!"
"I merely want to reclaim what is rightfully mine!"
"And while you may not know about your Chen family's Saint Path, do you think the Luo family doesn't?"
"This is also an opportunity for your Chen family!"
Chen Yang did not immediately agree, even though their intentions were aligned!
