C785 The Duel Began



C785 The Duel Began

Compared to Yao Yaoh and the others who were angry, Chen Yu was very calm. Even the speed of his footsteps seemed neither too fast nor too slow.    

    

Not long after, Chen Yu's group met another Fire Cloud Peak disciple who was leading the way. These disciples were the same as the Fire Cloud Peak elders from before, they were trying to provoke Chen Yu's anger by deliberately putting on a haughty attitude.    

    

In Chen Yu's eyes, all of this seemed clumsy and laughable.    

    

Finally, after two hours, Chen Yu and the others arrived at the martial arts training ground near the peak of Fire Cloud Peak.    

    

The Martial Exhibition Platform was extremely open, yet there were already several hundred people gathered there. These several hundred people were not comparable to the ordinary disciples at the foot of the Fire Cloud Peak, but were mostly clan elders and deacons, or perhaps elite disciples.    

    

"The main character has finally arrived!"    

    

When Chen Yu's group arrived, the audience gathered on the training ground shouted.    

    

Someone from the Fire Cloud Peak shouted: "Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, you came so slowly, could it be that you're afraid?"    

    

"It's slow, I've already lost in terms of momentum, there's no way that Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu can win!"    

    

"Su Qingyuan is truly a heaven warping figure. To be able to break through three realms in less than two years, Chen Yu will lose without a doubt!"    

    

"…"    

    

Chen Yu sneered and turned his head to look at Shen Qing, Ning Yushi, Hua Xuan, and the other leaders of the main peak who were striding over.    

    

"Chen Yu, don't let these voices affect your mentality!" Shen Qing said, "You just have to go all out. With your physique, you might have a chance!"    

    

Although Shen Qing had just punished Chen Yu two days ago to not set foot on the main peak within three months, the affection in his words was still very obvious.    

    

Principal Peak Clan were indeed maintained to the best of their abilities.    

    

Of course, this kind of encouragement was unnecessary for Chen Yu. He had experienced so much fighting, and had experienced so many strong opponents who were stronger than Su Qingyuan. A mere Su Qingyuan was not even worth his attention.    

    

"Thank you, Hall Master Shen, for your advice!" Chen Yu still thanked him.    

    

Ning Yushi said, "Chen Yu, you have the Astral Spiritual Soul, so there is still a great chance for you to defeat Su Qingyuan. If you can't handle it, you can retreat to our side. Even if it means damaging my reputation, I will still protect your life! "    

    

Chen Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Ning Yushi was trying to reassure him by interfering in this duel. This was completely unlike Ning Yushi.    

    

"Don't think too much into it, Star Soul are too rare!" Ning Yushi said, "I can't watch it die because of your defeat!"    

    

Chen Yu smiled when he heard that.    

    

Only Hua Xuan looked relaxed and whispered in Chen Yu's ear, "You don't have to hold back when attacking, and you don't need to worry about anything. No matter what, the Principal Peak Clan will always take care of it for Junior Brother! "    

    

"Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother!"    

    

Before the greetings had even ended, a few high profile and well-dressed martial artists walked over. The one in the lead was tall and sturdy, his skin was rosy, and his aura was deep. He was an expert who was in the late stage of the Profound Dark Stage.    

    

This person was someone Chen Yu had seen before in the Large Competition. It was the person who had stood out for Su Qingyuan when he challenged Chen Yu in front of everyone. His name was Zhu Yan and he had an extremely high status in the Fire Cloud Peak.    

    

"Hall Master Ning, Hall Master Shen, Dean Hua. A mere disciple's duel actually shocked all of you, it seems like this Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu really has a lot of face! " As Zhu Yan walked over, he coldly smiled and said with a dissatisfied tone.    

    

"Elder Zhu, this battle has already caused a sensation in the sect. Chen Yu represents the Polar Extreme Peak Faction, so naturally, my Law Enforcement Hall will come over to bear witness to ensure the fairness of the duel! " Shen Qing said in a deep voice, "Once the duel begins, no one is allowed to interfere. All participants in the duel are conceited in life and death. Otherwise, my Law Enforcement Hall will definitely punish you severely! "    

    

Zhu Yan humphed and said, "If it can be like this, then that's for the best. I'm just afraid that the Law Enforcement Hall will be biased! "    

    

"Elder Zhu, you have to think twice before you speak!" Shen Qing said with dissatisfaction: "Have Law Enforcement Hall been biased?"    

    

"The Law Enforcement Hall itself is clear!" Zhu Yan seemed to be very tough, but in fact, his words were ambiguous.    

    

Shen Qing sneered, "If Elder Zhu had come to my Law Enforcement Hall, would you have experienced the fairness of Law Enforcement Hall?"    

    

Zhu Yan did not reply. His gaze fell on Chen Yu as he said, "Chen Yu, you will lose this battle without a doubt!"    

    

"Elder Zhu sure knows how to joke!" Chen Yu said indifferently: "Even if I wanted to kill you, it would just be a matter of time. "What about a mere Su Qingyuan?"    

    

"Haha …" Zhu Yan laughed as if he had heard a joke. There was no smile on his face as he said, "You arrogant little prick!"    

    

Shen Qing and Ning Yushi were also stunned. Three days ago, Chen Yu being able to withstand Elder Quan's full power attack had indeed shocked them, but Chen Yu saying that killing Zhu Yan at Profound Dark Stage level 7 was also a matter of the back of his hand, and they also felt that Chen Yu was a little too arrogant.    

    

Chen Yu said, "Elder Zhu, since Su Qingyuan is in the future, why don't we have a duel first?"    

    

Seeing Chen Yu looking down on him like that, Zhu Yan angrily said, "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"    

    

"Chen Yu, don't cause too much trouble!" Shen Qing frowned and interrupted Zhu Yan with a shout.    

    

"Let's finish the two year duel first before talking about anything else!" Hua Xuan also said: "Elder Zhu, the late stage Profound Dark Stage expert from your older generation, even if he wins against Junior Brother Chen Yu, he will still not win in a fight!"    

    

Zhu Yan coldly said, "I didn't bring this up, but this reckless fool brought it up himself!"    

    

Chen Yu glanced at Shen Qing, Hua Xuan, and the others. He knew they were doing it for his own good and could only sigh inwardly. He was too lazy to pester them and said, "Su Qingyuan still hasn't come?"    

    

"Of course Qingyuan, why are you in such a hurry?" A Fire Cloud Peak Elder behind Zhu Yan said coldly.    

    

Right at this moment, a low, stern, yet resentful voice sounded: "Chen Yu, you little bastard, I thought you died in Langya Sword Sect, I didn't think you would actually come back. The heavens have eyes, the grudge between you and the Dragon Head Peak has been severed! "    

    

Chen Yu turned his head. The one who had come was Dragon Head Peak Wu Steel.    

    

Looking at Zong Yan, a cold glint flashed across Chen Yu's eyes as his killing intent was revealed.    

    

Before leaving the sect, there was indeed a need to settle the grudge between Polar Extreme Peak and itself. Otherwise, Chen Yu could imagine that after he leaves, his Polar Extreme Peak would be completely suppressed by the Dragon Head Peak.    

    

Although Principal Peak Clan would help and protect Polar Extreme Peak, there was a limit to this kind of protection. Furthermore, if Chen Yu left the sect, it would be impossible for him to return in a short period of time. With him not returning for more than ten years, and the changes in Ruling Spirit Sect, the Main Peak wouldn't be able to continue taking care of the Polar Extreme Peak Faction.    

    

Thinking about Zong Yan's pursuit of him and Yao Yaoh in the mines of the ancient battlefield, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Zong Yan, after this battle, I will set off for Lonely Spirit Abyss. If you want to end this grudge, then I'll wait for you in the northwest of the Rising Spirit Mountain Range! "    

    

"Alright!" Zong Yan was stunned for a moment. Then, his killing intent exploded as he said, "No one will be able to protect you outside the sect!"    

    

Shen Qing frowned and said, "Elder Zong, Chen Yu is the genius of the sect. Why don't you let go of your grudge from that year?"    

    

"I can't let it go!" Zong Yan said: "Hall Master Shen, the grudge between Dragon Head Peak s is over by Chen Yu alone. We had nothing to say back then because of the reason why Polar Extreme Peak had sealed off the mountain. If you continue to find excuses, don't blame the Dragon Head Peak for not giving you face, and turn completely hostile! "    

    

Shen Qing's face turned ugly. But he did not have a good way to stop Zong Yan and Dragon Head Peak from taking revenge on Chen Yu.    

    

With regards to matters outside the main gate, it was very difficult for Law Enforcement Hall to interfere. Even if he were to be punished afterwards, he wouldn't be able to do anything to the Dragon Head Peak.    

    

Zong Yan didn't say anything else and left in big strides.    

    

Zhu Yan, who was at the side, had a gloating look on his face as he sneered: "Chen Yu, do you know that you are unable to walk out of the Fire Cloud Peak alive and thus don't put Elder Zong Yan in your heart?"    

    

Chen Yu said, "You're really long-winded. Zhu Yan, Su Qingyuan won't come for a long time. How about we have a life-and-death battle first!"    

    

Zhu Yan was about to agree, but seeing Shen Qing and Ning Yushi here, he knew that it was impossible to get permission even if he agreed. He coldly said, "You are not worth it for me to help you!"    

    

With that, Zhu Yan led the Fire Cloud Peak members away.    

    

"Junior Brother Chen, why did you intentionally reveal that you're going to the Lonely Spirit Abyss?" Hua Xuan Du said: "I know that you are very strong, but Zong Yan is at the eighth level of Profound Dark Stage. Furthermore, it might even be possible for Daoist Master Tianlong to attack in person. He had his Divine Artifact after all. If they leave the sect to chase after you, the sect will not be able to stop them! "    

    

Chen Yu smiled, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I know what I'm doing!"    

    

Following that, another two women leisurely walked over. They were Ning Bingyu and Nangong Qingxuan from the main mountain.    

    

Nangong Qingxuan was also the sect master's direct disciple and was already in the second level of the Profound Dark Stage.    

    

Ning Bingyu, on the other hand, had already reached the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Stage. Back then, when she lost to Chen Yu in the sect competition, Chen Yu was only at the ninth level of Heavenly Astral Stage. Two years later, Chen Yu's cultivation level was the same as hers.    

    

After chatting for a while, Su Qingyuan still hadn't arrived. Chen Yu didn't care much about it. On the other hand, many of the spectators became anxious and started to clamor.    

    

More and more people came to greet Chen Yu. They were Gongsun Hao, Ye Qing, and other disciples who had friendly relations with Chen Yu in Outer Sect. Even though they were currently in Spirit Accumulation Stage, they could only look up to Chen Yu.    

    

In addition, there were also a few people who came over to greet Ning Yushi, Shen Qing, and the others who participated in the Polar Extreme Peak mountain sealing incident.    

    

As time passed, and the noise grew louder and louder, the group of people finally reached the point where they couldn't take it anymore.    

    

The leader was a person with a high crown, a deep demeanor as deep as the abyss, and sharp eyes. He was the Fire Cloud Peak's Peak Master, Spiritual Master Huo Jue.    

    

As soon as Spiritual Master Huo Jue arrived, the clamor immediately weakened.    

    

Behind Spiritual Master Huo Jue were two elders with the strongest Fire Cloud Peak, both of whom had strength at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Profound Dark Stage. As one of the top five peaks, the strength of one's Fire Cloud Peak was still very strong.    

    

After conversing with Shen Qing for a while, Spiritual Master Huo Jue gave Chen Yu a deep look. His sharp eyes seemed to see through Chen Yu. However, in the end, he did not say anything and just gestured to an elder.    

    

The elder rushed to the Fire Cloud Peak Hall.    

    

Before long, a figure wearing a crimson-black robe arrived in large strides. His back was ramrod straight and his expression was cold and proud.    

    

It was Su Qingyuan.    

    

Shen Qing and Spiritual Master Huo Jue gave the order for the law enforcement disciples and Fire Cloud Peak disciples to clear the area, allowing the many warriors who were watching to keep a distance and leave the entire training grounds.    

    

Then, Spiritual Master Huo Jue said in a clear voice, "Following the agreement of Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu, advance the duel between my disciple Su Qingyuan and Wu Tie to today. In this battle, Divine Artifact s are not allowed to be used, the two sides in the duel depend on their strength, their lives and deaths are on the line, no one is allowed to interfere, otherwise, it would be making my Fire Cloud Peak an enemy. Now, let the battle begin! "    

    

With that, he looked at Shen Qing and the others.    

    

"Let's go!" Shen Qing growled, signaling Yao Yaoh, Lin Ji and Jiang Heng to leave.    

    

Afterwards, Spiritual Master Huo Jue and the Fire Cloud Peak elders and disciples left as well. In the wide training ground several hundred meters wide, only Chen Yu and Su Qingyuan were left.
