"Hiss hiss."
Chen Yuan, his hair standing on end and face showing utmost dread, trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to tell himself this wasn't real, just a dream.
However.
The indifferent, slightly smiling face of Chen Yang made his scalp tingle.
Clearly a gentle expression, yet it gave Chen Yuan a chilling fright, like being watched by a smiling tiger. No one would feel at ease, as if insects were crawling and biting his skin.
It was only now that Chen Yuan realized he had miscalculated.
"You, what kind of despicable trick did you use to make these people believe your nonsense?"
After several changes in expression, Chen Yuan rasped out coldly, "Everyone knows that Chen Shuai Senior Brother is the true Divine Conquest, how could you defeat him?"
"You rely on nothing but your silver tongue?"
"You broke through to the Divine Conquest? What a joke!" Chen Yuan straightened his chest, asserting with confidence, "The eighteen levels of Divine Conquest cannot just be broken through on a whim!"
"Are you too naive, or do you think we're all fools? Hmm?!"
"I don't care what your purpose is, using such a ploy is enough to show your lack of character, willing to stop at nothing for your goal."
Believing himself justified, Chen Yuan spoke prolifically, "Not to ntion, you haven't stepped into Divine Conquest, and even if I concede you have, I, Chen Yuan, still look down on you."
His speech was firm and resolute, decisive and powerful.
Having spoken, Chen Yuan held his head high, a smile curling arrogantly, as if he had seen through the liar, waiting for the ntal collapse and panic, forcing an apology.
Instantly, the arena fell silent, so shocked at Chen Yuan's assumptions, seeing them as pure delusion.
After all, Chen Yang's defeat of Chen Shuai was witnessed by many, an ironclad fact.
Even with doubts, such unfounded accusations and reckless words damaged his image.
Yet, for those not privy to the truth, blindly worshipping Chen Shuai, they readily agreed with Chen Yuan, shouting alongside him.
"Senior Brother Chen Yuan is right, this guy is nothing but a despicable person."
"Why waste words with him, Senior Brother Chen Yuan should just take him down hard, does he think we're all fools?"
"Go for it, Senior Brother Chen Yuan!!"
"..."
More and more people shouted vehently, the sound waves reaching to the skies.
Often, the atmosphere is contagious, especially in great numbers, its infectious nature astounding.
And here, nearly half the square roared in fury.
Facing this deafening outcry, Chen Yang rely smiled silently, then shook the Ancestral Sword in his hand, stepping forward.
Tap tap tap.
Out of instinct, Chen Yuan suddenly retreated, his whole body tense, warily watching Chen Yang.
"Why the panic?" Chen Yang chuckled, "I rely took one casual step forward."
Chen Yuan: "..."
It was evident, the contender for chief disciple's face flushed red, harboring anger and sha, yet unable to utter a word.
Nervous?
This instinctive reaction revealed his true anxiety.
"So of what you ntioned does hold so truth."
Chen Yang nodded earnestly, then shook his head, saying, "However, using your understanding to judge others is ultimately sowhat lacking."
"What do you say, Senior Brother Chen Yuan?"
A single sentence.
A single look.
Made Chen Yuan gasp, a gaze he had never encountered, calm as water, firm as steel.
Hiss!!
About to strike with thunderous montum, Chen Yuan was compelled to step back again, inexplicably anxious.
His retreat was significant.
Everyone below the stage fell silent, awaiting developnts.
In this mont, everyone was silent!
Before Chen Yuan could respond, Chen Yang raised a hand, adopting a knife-like stance, slicing downward with force.
Whoosh.
Chen Yuan saw a cold flash rushing at him, about to react, an unprecedented fierce wind whirled past his ear.
Instantly, the sky seed to crack under this slice of force.
Chen Yuan, standing alone in the center, blurred.
In the next second.
Boom!!
With a thunderous blast as if piercing the heavens, the arena and the entire square trembled, endless dust swirling, covering the sky.
Everyone present was startled, stumbling backward.
Once the dust settled.
The crowd saw a graceful figure, sword in hand, slowly turning and stepping off the arena.
Crack.
Almost the mont he stepped off, the arena, weathered by decades, cracked in two without warning, tilting sideways.
The ground trembled violently.
Everyone: "..."
The arena carved from a solid stone, split apart?
Gulp.
Countless people swallowed hard, bodies stiff, only boundless shock and terror in their eyes.
"I, Chen, never intended to prove anything here."
"If you still dislike , feel free to challenge , I'll accept them."
Chen Yang walked away, his ethereal words echoing under the firmant.
Whoosh!
The square fell silent, only the wind howled.
At this point, who couldn't see that Chen Yang indeed broke through to Divine Conquest, capable of cleaving the arena with a single gesture.
In other words, their Senior Brother Chen Shuai was indeed defeated.
With the power of one, he overwheld a generation.
This...
Chen Yuan knelt on the ground, trembling fiercely, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, dripping to the ground.
This casual move could have killed him.
Sha and desolation filled his face.
He realized, he was nothing more than a clown.
...
Returning to the temporary residence, Chen Yang found a letter on the stone table, signed Gu Zhiqing.
Hmm?
Chen Yang opened the envelope and, after reading the contents, raised an eyebrow.
"Chen Yang, firstly, congratulations on breaking through to Divine Conquest. I foresee that Yuning Mountain will have a place for you in the future. The Northern Mountain situation was my voluntary doing, repaying last ti you saved my life. From now on, we're even."
"The Martial World is vast, we'll et again if destined."
Chen Yang stood dazed, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up within.
Ultimately, he realized he wasn't ready to accept another woman.
Yes, out of obligation, you are willing to take responsibility.
But...
Is this fair to Gu Zhiqing?
Upon reflection, Chen Yang saw his thoughtlessness and reckless actions in this matter.
anwhile.
Just as Chen Yang was imrsed in guilt, a large party from Biluo Sword Valley set out directly towards Red Lotus Valley.
Covertly aligned with Biluo Sword Valley was Southern Dipper Academy.
These two grand contingents caused quite a stir in Shisu Town and throughout Yuning Mountain's southern region.
