Yang Chen was really unable to judge or speculate.
But he knew that Ling Yan's words might not be unfounded.
And precisely because they were not unfounded, he couldn't be concerned only with his own well-being. The Northern Territory Sect had treated him well, and through a war that injured two Great Emperor powerhouses, the future situation of the Northern Territory Sect could become extremely bad.
At this point, he needed to stay even more.
No matter what major events would happen afterward, he must stay because the Northern Territory Sect needed him.
This was something he should do as a member of the Northern Territory Sect. If others treated him with kindness, he would return it tenfold.
Yang Chen respectfully said, "Junior appreciates Elder's kindness, but as a human, if something big really happens, Junior will definitely have to stand with his own sect and race. No matter what, Junior cannot just care for himself."
