The twelve elders, now, are not cooperating.
It's within reason, I suppose!
After all, just how monstrously talented is Su Chen? It's only based on what Heyue Nishang has said, no one else has witnessed it. Moreover, it is said that Su Chen is only at the Fifth Level of the Qiongji Realm. Even if he is a genius, can his strength really surpass that of the Ancestral King Realm?
Keep in mind that almost every True Disciple of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect possesses the strength of the Ninth Level of the Ancestral King Realm or even the Half-Step Ancestor Emperor Realm.
What's more important is that the Sect rules dictate that each elder can take no more than seven disciples.
Each disciple's spot is very important; taking Su Chen means losing a spot.
What if Su Chen's actual strength does not live up to his talent?
