Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

Wang Daoquan's mansion was extremely huge and was divided into many courtyards. Most of the courtyards were already occupied by servants and maids.    

    

From this, it could be said that Wang Daoquan indeed had quite a few disciples that he knew and entertained.    

    

Along the way to the depths of the mansion, Wang Daoquan introduced the thoughts he had spent in the mansion, which made him proud of himself.    

    

"Junior Brother Chen, it's here!" Wang Daoquan stopped outside a yard at the deepest part of the mansion and said, "This yard is the best one I have here. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and there are all kinds of arrangements inside, especially since it has three cultivation rooms, one for the three spirits of fire and water, and the array inside the spirit room has been painstakingly built before. The cultivation effect is excellent!"    

    

"It seems like Senior Brother Wang has invested quite a bit!" Zeng Qichang laughed, "When Junior Chu and I came here, I didn't even mention anything about this place!"    

    

Wang Daoquan's old face turned red as he said, "Brother Ceng, this is a slap to your face. The courtyard I arranged for you is also of the highest quality."    

    

Zeng Qichang knew what he should do and said, "Senior Brother Wang doesn't need to explain. For the past few days, you have been very hospitable. Junior and I are already very grateful, but we don't dare to compare ourselves with Junior Brother Chen who has taken first place in the Large Competition!"    

    

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang!"    

    

Chen Yu did not care about the other cultivation rooms, but those training rooms with fire type arrays were very useful to the current him.    

    

"Junior Brother Chen, please come inside Junior Brother Wen!"    

    

Walking into the small courtyard, Wang Daoquan first took Chen Yu and Wen Congann around the perimeter and took a look.    

    

After the tour was over, the feast was already set up. A few beautiful maids stood in the dining hall.    

    

After everyone sat down, Wang Daoquan first greeted them and then drank a circle of wine. He purposely saluted twice more to Chen Yu, apologizing for neglecting Chen Yu's rudeness just now. Afterwards, he introduced the ancient battlefield that Chen Yu and the others were most interested in.    

    

To warriors, the greatest danger in the ancient battlefield was the overflowing Yin Qi. Yin energy would erupt once every three months, and when it did, even Profound Dark Stage experts would be at risk of dying from being surrounded and attacked by Yin Demon.    

    

However, every time Yin Qi exploded, Death Soul Grass would grow out and bring a lot of wealth.    

    

"Therefore, Junior Brother Chen, Junior Zeng, Junior Chu, Junior Brother Wen, enter the ancient battlefield. Remember to calculate the time and leave before the next eruption of yin qi!"    

    

"The strength of Yin Demon vary, the strength of strong Yin Demon is not inferior to the strength of Profound Dark Stage experts, and the weak ones are not dealt with by ordinary people who have cultivated in the martial arts. Generally speaking, in the outer regions of the ancient battlefield, it is not very dangerous, but after entering the Yin Demon Swamp, the danger increases greatly! "    

    

"Yin Demon Swamp?" Chen Yu asked, "What is that place?"    

    

"From the Profound Sky Continent to the east, after entering Yin Mountain Valley, we will enter the plains at the periphery of the ancient battlefield. There are many pits in the Yin Demon Swamp, and within the pits, there will often be some powerful Yin Demon hiding that specialize in sneak attacking warriors! "    

    

"If you want to enter the depths of the ancient battlefield, your Yin Demon Swamp is also a place that you must pass through!" Especially in the mines underneath the mountain, it is even more so the home of the Yin Demon. A thousand years ago, the experts of the three major sects were still able to enter and explore it, but after the three major sects reached an agreement, the Yin Demon in the mines were unable to stop themselves from becoming stronger, and it was extremely dangerous inside. "With the strength of my fellow disciples, you should not go into those mines so easily!"    

    

"Just who left those mines?" Zeng Qichang asked.    

    

There are many rumours. Some say that it was left behind by a sect even older than our sect, while others say that demon spirits were born from the mines and used as nests by the demon spirits. Later on, the demon spirits either ran away or were killed, leaving behind the underground cave.    

    

Wang Daoquan had heard many different kinds of rumors, so his introduction was quite interesting. It was very interesting to hear about it.    

    

Compared to the various information about the ancient battlefield that Hua Xuan and Chen Yu had provided, Wang Daoquan explained in more detail.    

    

"One more thing, junior brothers!" Wang Daoquan continued to speak: "It is said that in the ancient battlefield, there was a great war, that millions of soldiers died in the ancient battlefield, that some of the strong warriors in the army never dispersed their anger and turned into powerful ghost soldiers, and that the especially powerful Yin soldiers at the peak of Profound Dark Stage were not a match for them, if junior brothers encounter any ghost soldiers, remember to run as far away as you can!"    

    

"Yin Soldier? "What do they look like?" Wen Congann asked with a slightly pale face.    

    

"I heard that he looked like he was when he was alive. He was dressed in armor and had a saber in his hands!" Wang Daoquan said, "Whether it is the Yin soldiers or the Yin Demon, ordinary attacks are of limited use to them, and can only be killed through sword intent or spirit attributed flames.    

    

Chen Yu nodded, and just as he was about to ask the Yin Demon, he heard a commotion from outside.    

    

Wang Daoquan frowned and shouted towards the outside, "Su Zhi, what's going on?"    

    

"It's senior brother Wu Zhaoyuan!" The door was pushed open, and that Wang Daoquan's follower, who should be a disciple of a branch sect, stood at the door as he answered.    

    

"Junior Martial Brother Wu Zhaoyuan?" Wang Daoquan was surprised, he immediately stood up and walked outside.    

    

When Zeng Qichang heard this name, his eyebrows creased. He looked at Chen Yu and said, "Junior Brother Chen, sorry for the trouble. Wu Zhaoyuan is a Small Blue Peak disciple with a cultivation at the peak of the seventh level of Spirit Accumulation Stage.    

    

"For me?" Chen Yu was slightly shocked.    

    

"Most of Senior Brother Wang's followers are from the sub-schools. Back then, when Junior Brother Chen participated in the City Battle Trial s, he killed a lot of disciples from the sub-schools!" Zeng Qichang also purposely revealed his goodwill and said, "Therefore, it is not surprising that someone among Senior Brother Wang's subordinates leaked the news!"    

    

Pausing for a moment, Zeng Qichang continued, "Senior Brother Wang deliberately tried to befriend the inner disciples, so, in his house, there are a lot of inner disciples from different peaks. A lot of the inner disciples weren't in the sect three months ago. "Hmm, Junior Brother Chen understands what I mean?"    

    

Chen Yu nodded.    

    

To be able to become an inner disciple of Ruling Spirit Sect meant that they had outstanding talent and were proud and arrogant. In their eyes, the great sect competition was not very important, and even Chen Yu, the top ranker of the great sect, was not that important.    

    

And Chen Yu had initially made enemies with City Battle Trial and Outer Sect … …    

    

It was normal for a lot of people to come looking for trouble.    

    

This place was not within the sect. Without the sect rules binding it, there was no need to be so cautious.    

    

Before Wang Daoquan could reach the door, the door was kicked open. A man of 27 or 28 years old, slender and with long hair walked in. He wore a blue robe.    

    

Wang Daoquan was barely able to push open the door, but when he saw the man that came in, he didn't show the slightest displeasure. With a face full of smiles, he said, "Junior Wu, it's good that you came. Quickly take your seat.    

    

Before he could finish his words, Wu Zhaoyuan interrupted Wang Daoquan, "If it wasn't for you, Senior Brother Wang, stand to the side. I have a grudge with Chen Yu, the Polar Extreme Peak!"    

    

This tone clearly didn't take Wang Daoquan's words to heart.    

    

Wang Daoquan's expression changed as he said, "Junior Martial Brother Wu, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"    

    

"Inappropriate?" Wu Zhaoyuan smiled coolly and said: "Senior Brother Wang, why not ask the seniors and juniors living in your house. How many of them don't mind giving Polar Extreme Peak and Chen Yu a ruthless lesson, and how many want his life? "Junior brother Zhu, Junior brother Liu."    

    

Wu Zhaoyuan did not come alone. The two middle stage Spirit Accumulation Stage warriors behind him moved after hearing the noise, walking to Wang Daoquan from his left and right, bringing Wang Daoquan to the side.    

    

Wang Daoquan struggled a little bit before he let those two people push him away. However, he had a helpless expression on his face as he looked back at Chen Yu.    

    

After Wang Daoquan was pushed to the side, his gaze was no longer obstructed. Wu Zhaoyuan looked at Chen Yu with his sharp eyes, and with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, he said with a cold killing intent: "Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, if you obediently stay in the sect, you really can't do anything to me. I didn't think that you would actually leave the mountain and come to the ancient battlefield.    

    

Chen Yu sat upright and watched Wu Zhaoyuan's stern expression. He picked up his chopsticks from time to time and picked up a pair of chopsticks before stuffing them into his mouth. He slowly savored the taste without saying a word.    

    

Seeing Chen Yu's actions, Wu Zhaoyuan's expression turned cold. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. He was thoroughly infuriated by Chen Yu's actions!    

    

Wen Congann looked worried. He looked at Chen Yu and then looked at Wu Zhaoyuan, revealing a wry smile. He still clearly remembered that when he was being chased down by the Dragon Head Peak along with Chen Yu, he could not be any clearer than to what kind of person Chen Yu was with his skills!    

    

Zeng Qichang and Chu Lianyun both stood up and put some distance between them and Chen Yu. Seeing Chen Yu eating the dishes with a calm expression, they were speechless.    

    

"You with the surname Chen, how dare you be so arrogant?" Seeing Chen Yu looking down on him, Wu Zhaoyuan flew into a rage and threw a punch towards the distance.    

    

The cyan qi condensed into a huge fist and punched towards Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu raised his head to take a look, then casually waved his hand. A stream of water Spiritual Dipper Qi shot out and easily shattered that fist.    

    

The clash of the astral energy caused the wine and soup on the table to fly into the air. Fortunately, everyone was quite strong, and before the soup even landed on their bodies, it was blocked by the invisible Body Protecting Astral Qi.    

    

However, the dishes and wine on the table were in a mess.    

    

Chen Yu shook off the chopsticks in his hand and stood up, shaking his head. "What a waste. Wu Zhaoyuan, it's a pity that the room that Senior Brother Wang meticulously prepared was broken!"    

    

"Humph!" Seeing that Chen Yu still had the heart to care about the damage to the house, Wu Zhaoyuan's face became even more livid. With a cold snort, he turned around and walked out of the house.    

    

"Junior Brother Chen!" Zeng Qichang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother Wu has already stayed in the ancient battlefield for more than a year, tempering his sword intent with the Yin Demon. The sword intent is close to manifesting itself, so Junior Brother Chen must be careful!"    

    

"Thank you for reminding me, senior apprentice brother Ceng!" Chen Yu nodded and smiled before walking out of the house.    

    

Wang Daoquan was also let go. He smiled bitterly and followed Chen Yu out of the room. However, as soon as they left the room, he saw the crowd of people gathered outside the yard. Most of them had the expression of watching a good show or harboring evil intentions.    

    

Only then did Wang Daoquan realize that what Wu Zhaoyuan said was not a lie. He could not help but be dumbstruck as deep regret flashed across his eyes.    

    

If he knew that Chen Yu had so many enemies, he wouldn't have gone to the town to get Chen Yu. Right now, no matter which side he stood on, he wasn't a person …
