After Sha Miao and the others left,
the news of Jiang Bairen’s return
quickly spread throughout the entire Hundred Peaks Sect.
His dominating attitude and aloof deanor reminded many of the old disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s First Genius from three years ago.
However,
there were many who questioned the status of that forr First Genius of the Hundred Peaks Sect from three years ago.
After all,
though Jiang Bairen’s reputation was significant at that ti,
that was, after all, three years ago.
In three years, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect were replaced by new generations, with Heavenly Pride Disciples erging constantly.
Therefore,
many disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect harbored significant doubts and even disdain for that once First Genius,
believing that Jiang Bairen had beco a thing of the past.
At this mont,
within Henglian Peak,
which was one of the Top Ten Famous Peaks,
there were naturally many disciples.
Their number was dozens of tis more than that of the Thousand Bamboo Peak disciples,
nearing a thousand.
Once Sha Miao and the others were humiliated by Qin Chen and returned to Henglian Peak,
the entire mountain was instantly abuzz.
Inside a room on Henglian Peak,
Sha Miao lay on the bed, his body covered with various ointnts.
The intense pain made Sha Miao grimace and grind his teeth.
His face was swollen like a stead bun, extrely bloated.
Just then,
a young man in a yellow robe entered the room.
"Brother!"
Upon seeing the young man in the yellow robe, Sha Miao imdiately called out,
his tone filled with infinite grievances.
"What the hell happened?"
The young man in the yellow robe, seeing his disciple beaten to such a state, had a look of anger erge between his brows.
He was Sha Miao’s older brother, nad Sha Xian.
Sha Xian was much stronger than Sha Miao.
Even among the ranks of the Top Ten Famous Peaks like Henglian Peak, Sha Xian’s strength was outstanding.
Therefore,
now seeing his younger brother beaten so badly,
Sha Xian was extrely enraged.
Upon hearing the question, Sha Miao recounted the events between sobs and gasps.
Of course,
he also exaggerated certain aspects.
He portrayed Qin Chen as an arrogant and haughty man who thought nothing of others.
While he made himself out to be a passive victim, enduring beatings in utter humiliation.
After listening,
flas of rage nearly erupted from Sha Xian’s eyes.
Bang!
Sha Xian’s fist slamd onto a wooden table beside him.
The ferocious power instantly destroyed the table,
reducing it to a pile of sawdust.
"This is outrageous!"
Sha Xian ground his teeth.
"Does Jiang Bairen still think he is the First Genius of the Hundred Peaks Sect?"
"How dare he be so arrogantly domineering!"
A chilling intent filled Sha Xian’s eyes.
"To beat my brother like this."
"To show such disregard for Henglian Peak."
"I, Sha Xian, will make sure you pay the price!"
As he spoke,
a cold gleam flashed through his eyes.
Clearly,
whether for Henglian Peak or for his own brother,
Sha Xian was not about to let the insult at the hands of Thousand Bamboo Peak and Jiang Bairen go unavenged.
...
On Thousand Bamboo Peak,
Qin Chen chatted for a long ti with Qee Feizhou and the others.
He had more or less co to understand the various affairs of Thousand Bamboo Peak over the past three years.
Even if Qin Chen was not the true Jiang Bairen,
He couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger upon hearing about the changes the Thousand Bamboo Peak had undergone in the past three years.
According to Qee Feizhou’s account,
incidents like today’s were not a one-ti occurrence.
They had happened many tis before.
Moreover,
it was not just the Henglian Peak that bullied the Thousand Bamboo Peak.
Other peaks, even those not among the Top Ten Famous Peaks, had at tis slighted them with condescension and, at worst, with verbal abuse and physical attacks.
This naturally filled Qin Chen with imnse fury.
He had now co to understand the truth of the phrase "the kind are easy prey, and the ek are easy to ride."
"Right, what about the second disciple of my Thousand Bamboo Peak, Geng Zian, and the third disciple, Chai Hui?"
"Aren’t their strengths also comndable?"
"With those two around, the other peaks wouldn’t dare to bully my Thousand Bamboo Peak so brazenly, would they?"
Qin Chen frowned and asked.
Because, according to the notes of Fang Qing,
Qin Chen knew that besides the eldest disciple Jiang Bairen,
the Thousand Bamboo Peak also had a second and a third disciple.
Although their strengths were not on par with Jiang Bairen’s,
they were still quite formidable.
If those two had been present, Qin Chen was confident that the other peaks would not have dared to oppress the Thousand Bamboo Peak so blatantly.
"They are traitors!"
"Right after you, the eldest disciple, disappeared, they saw that the situation was amiss and left the Thousand Bamboo Peak to join the Asura Peak!"
"And even before they left, they exchanged harsh words!"
Upon hearing Qin Chen ntion these two,
flas almost burst from Qee Feizhou’s eyes.
Evidently,
he harbored great resentnt toward these two individuals.
Qin Chen’s expression stopped for a mont upon hearing this.
Subsequently, towering rage began to rise within him as well.
Because, according to Fang Qing’s records,
three years ago, Jiang Bairen treated these two individuals very well, even often giving them his own cultivation resources,
in order to help them grow and beco pillars of the Thousand Bamboo Peak.
But,
Qin Chen had not expected
that these two would imdiately abandon the peak upon sensing that the situation was unfavorable, not only failing to uphold their responsibility to protect the peak but also parting on bad terms.
How could Qin Chen not be furious?
He detested such ingratitude and betrayal the most.
Those two, Qin Chen certainly would not let them off the hook!
"About that Asura Peak, it seems to have undergone significant changes over these years, hasn’t it?"
Upon hearing Qee Feizhou ntion the Asura Peak, Qin Chen’s heart stirred, and he inquired.
He had co here for the Asura Seal.
And Qin Chen was also very curious about the Asura Peak.
"Yes, Asura Peak’s strength is now firmly established as the number one peak in the Hundred Peaks Sect, and it is very formidable."
"Moreover, the battle for the Asura Ancestral Land slots is starting in one week!"
Qee Feizhou nodded and said.
"The battle for the Asura Ancestral Land slots?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen’s heart settled with determination.
He had read about the Asura Ancestral Land in Fang Qing’s notes.
It was said to be a place of opportunity.
Furthermore,
each ti it opened, it could only admit one person, who would then gain the fortunes of the Asura Ancestral Land.
Therefore,
the annual battle for the entry slots to the Asura Ancestral Land was always fiercely competitive.
Moreover,
in order to better showcase their sect’s power, the Hundred Peaks Sect would invite all the major powers of Hundred Peak Island to the annual slot battle,
to display the formidable strength of their junior mbers.
Hence,
the slot battle was also one of the few grand events in the Hundred Peaks Sect.
He hadn’t expected
to have coincidentally arrived at the ti of the slot battle.
"Just right, then one week later, at the slot battle, will be the day I, Jiang Bairen, establish my reputation in the Hundred Peaks Sect and across Hundred Peak Island!"
Qin Chen spoke slowly.
A sharp light also flashed in his eyes.
