Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

From Wu and Gongsun Hao, Chen Yu gained a clearer understanding of Hero Association's current situation.    

Until now, the number of practitioners that had come to participate in Hero Association had already reached over two thousand. This was already an extremely large number, almost a quarter of the number of people that were still alive this time around.    

As night fell, the martial artists in the valley also stopped. The martial artists in the valley either scattered and searched for a place to spend the night in the hills outside of the valley, or they would rest in the valley and wait for tomorrow's battle.    

On Chen Yu's side, Ye Qing, Gongsun Hao, and Shen Yih also left one after the other.    

"This Hero Association has already become a tool for Ye Qing and the rest to collect slots!" Su Guan said in a low voice as he sat beside Chen Yu.    

Chen Yu nodded.    

This point was extremely clear!    

After the warriors who were scattered throughout the secret realm gathered at this place, a large number of City Battle Trial's wooden tablets were also gathered here. For every match, Ye Qing and the others would have to earn a bit more.    

However, there were quite a few people here who were involved in sharing the benefits, and with Ye Qing's strength alone, it was not enough to support this Hero Association.    

In this way, it could be seen that the distribution of the benefits to each side was very limited. In the end, there was still the possibility of the interest group collapsing!    

Chen Yu did not care much about this, nor did he really want to participate in this kind of distribution of benefits. Of course, it was because Chen Yu did not have many followers with him. If it were any other fighter with a huge team, there would still be a gap from beginning to end!    

"What should we do?" Jun Che asked.    

Chen Yu took out a wooden plate and said, "Tomorrow, take this twenty wood spirit tablet and exchange it for that kind of one wood spirit tablet. The four of you will have to find each other to compete, increase your experience, and train your martial skills. You don't need to worry about anything else! "    

Yim Zifong said, "Chen Yu, you owe me so much, how can I repay you?"    

Chen Yu only smiled.    

"Chen Yu!" Right at this moment, a thunderous voice broke the silence.    

Turning his head to look, he saw a tall martial practitioner with an unfriendly face walking towards him from the seventh floor of the Heavenly Astral Stage. Behind him, there were five other martial practitioners with sharp auras, who were also from the seventh floor of the Heavenly Astral Stage.    

"What are you doing?" Yim Zifong asked.    

"Trash from the fourth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, scram!" Someone coldly shouted out, his words unrestrained.    

Yim Zifong gritted his teeth and glared at him.    

Chen Yu squinted as a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.    

"I heard that you killed over a hundred Jinguang City Warriors at Luo Gong Shan!" The tall ranker stared at Chen Yu, his eyes flashing with excitement and greed, he said: "Since you are here to participate in Hero Association, do you dare to fight with me?"    

"What are you?" Seeing the excited expression on the warrior's face, Chen Yu thought for a while and vaguely understood what was going on. He pouted his lips and said in an insipid tone.    

"You!" That warrior was immediately enraged. A trace of ice-cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.    

"Insolent, do you think killing a few disciples of a sub-school is considered extraordinary?" How dare you talk to Young Master like that? "    

"Mr. Chen, if it were not for the rule set by Young Master Ye Qing that private duels are not allowed, you would already be dead!"    

The tall warrior waved his hand and said: "Chen Yu, I, Hong Feeng Su do not like to argue with others, do you dare to fight? "Don't worry, I won't take your life, I just want the wooden tablet you got at Luo Gongshan!"    

It really was for the wooden signboard! Chen Yu finally understood.    

However, this provocation from Hong Feeng was exactly what Chen Yu wanted to do.    

Hong Feeng, who left his name on the Hero's Note, was naturally the person who shared the Hero Association's benefits. However, he was obviously not satisfied with these benefits and decided to go with Chen Yu.    

It had already been over a month since the battle at Luo Gongshan, and the news had already spread. Hong Feeng was surprised at the strength of Chen Yu, but he also realized that Chen Yu would definitely benefit greatly from the battle with the Jinguang City, so naturally, some greedy thoughts appeared in his mind.    

Wu City was ranked in the top five of the seventy-two cities. As the leader of Wu City, Hong Feeng had around three hundred followers, so naturally, Hong Feeng wanted to bring more followers into Ruling Spirit Sect!    

The more followers one brought into Ruling Spirit Sect, the greater the assistance one would receive from Ruling Spirit Sect in the future.    

Because of these reasons, Hong Feeng clearly knew that although Chen Yu was only at the third level of Heavenly Astral Stage, he couldn't be underestimated and wasn't easy to deal with. He also knew that Chen Yu and Gongsun Hao were old. However, he still chose to provoke Chen Yu and prepared to make a move against him.    

Without a doubt, Hong Feeng was extremely confident in his own strength. Of course, he didn't know that Chen Yu had already defeated Situ Lan and Chen Daolin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a thing.    

"Chen Yu, Hong Feeng, what are you guys doing?" A figure appeared not far away. It was Ye Qing.    

"Lord Ye is here?" Hong Feng did not dare to slight Ye Qing. He replied, "Young Master Chen Yu killed Bai Zhaofeng, Han Yue, and the other geniuses of the sub-school, and also killed Cui Rong and Xu Ye at Luo Gongshan. This humble one is very happy to see you and would like to exchange pointers with you. I believe Young Master Ye will not stop you, right?"    

Ye Qing looked at Chen Yu and saw that Chen Yu's expression was indifferent and not the least bit worried. He smiled and said, "We are guests from afar, but Young Master Chen even defeated disciples of the sub-school to vent our anger. If Young Master Chen is unwilling, then Hong Feeng, you can't force him!"    

Saying that, Ye Qing's lips curved into a strange smile. He then asked Chen Yu, "Young Master Chen, what do you think?"    

"If you want to fight, then fight. However, the stakes are too low so I'm not interested!" Chen Yu looked at the eerie smile on Ye Qing's mouth and could not help but feel speechless.    

Judging from his performance, Ye Qing was not a good person. He purposely concealed the news of the battle at Little Snow Peak and watched Hong Feeng jump into the pit with his eyes open.    

However, Chen Yu also felt that it was a bit strange. Why didn't the news of what happened on the Little Snow Peak spread?    

Not long after Chen Yu defeated Chen Daolin on the Small Snow Peak, it was reasonable that the news hadn't spread yet. However, it had been almost a month since Chen Yu had captured Situ Lan. At that time, there were many eyewitnesses, but they didn't know why this Hong Feeng didn't know and wholeheartedly wanted to jump into a pit.    

Perhaps it could only be attributed to the fact that the martial practitioners who had been forced to dig holes had been tortured very miserably, but also felt that it was too disgraceful to be forced to work as laborers, which was why they had deliberately concealed this information. In addition to the fact that the ordinary practitioners were on guard against each other, there was very little communication. Because of this, only Ye Qing, who was the most well-informed on Yun Ling's side, knew about these things!    

As for the branch disciples who had experienced the Little Snow Peak's battle, they treated the defeat of Situ Lan and Chen Daolin as a great humiliation and would never lightly talk about it!    

No matter what, Hong Feeng was determined to jump into the pit and give a wooden plate to him, Chen Yu had no reason to refuse.    

"Chen Yu, you can rest assured. I, Hong Feeng, am not interested in gambling with you since it's too low!" Hong Feeng's eyes revealed a hint of joy as he said, "Young Master Ye Qing is also here. Why not be the middleman? How about we bet a hundred souls on this battle?"    

Ye Qing looked at Chen Yu with an inquiring expression.    

"A hundred spirits? "Hong Feeng, it seems like you're a poor guy as well!" Chen Yu jokingly said, "The Hero post has been posted. Your name is ranked third. So you are so poor?"    

"You …" Hong Feeng's face immediately turned pale.    

"What are you so proud of? You're surnamed Chen, can you even take out a hundred souls?"    

"What are you pretending for? A hundred spirit stones is equivalent to six or seven slots, do you have one? "    

Hearing the clamoring of the followers behind Hong Feeng, Chen Yu smiled lightly. He grabbed a Storage Bag and threw it over to Ye Qing.    

Ye Qing opened the Storage Bag and looked, then waved his hand towards a few warriors, instructing them a few words.    

The several martial artists immediately lit several candles on a table. These candles were huge and the flames were bright. The wind would never extinguish them.    

Then, one of the older warriors carefully took out the items from Chen Yu's Storage Bag and placed them on the table.    

There were a total of twenty-six wooden tablets.    

"It's only 20 or so wooden tablets, what are you so proud of?" A warrior beside Hong Feeng said in a mocking tone.    

"More than twenty? Haha, he dares to be so arrogant with such a poor demeanor? "    

Chen Yu did not comment.    

The older warrior circulated the silver white qi in his hand, grabbed a wooden tablet, and began to sense around.    

"Twenty spirits!" Very quickly, the warrior placed the wooden tablet back onto the Storage Bag and shouted to the warrior beside him.    

The faces of the warriors clamoring beside Hong Feeng suddenly stiffened.    

"Twenty spirits!" The martial artist continued to examine the second wooden token and quickly shouted out another sentence.    

"Twenty spirits!"    

"Twenty spirits!"    

"Thirteen spirits!"    

As more than twenty people reported it, the warriors beside Hong Feeng were completely silent. However, their eyes all flickered with a strange glint.    

"Twenty-six wooden tablets, for a total of four hundred and thirty-five spirits!" After checking all the wooden tablets, the martial artist reported the final number.    

Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Ye Qing had a surprised look on his face.    

This number was too much. Four hundred and thirty-five spirits, representing four hundred and thirty-five participants in the selection, entering the Trial Secret Realm with an initial wooden tablet had all fallen into Chen Yu's hands.    

What they didn't know was that Chen Yu had already given over two hundred spiritual energy to Su Guan, Jun Che, Sun Yue, and the others. Otherwise, they would only be more shocked!    

Hong Feeng's face twitched when he saw this scene. Four hundred and thirty-five spirits was simply too much. The initial wooden tablets of all the Wucheng Warriors who were following him was not enough, and he had to add on the wooden tablets that they snatched after entering the Trial Secret Realm. Only then would he be able to obtain enough Hero Association for the next ten days!    

For a moment, Hong Feeng started to panic a little. If it was two hundred Spirit Stones, he could afford it, but once he took out the four hundred and thirty-five Spirit Stones, it would be equivalent to taking out the names of all the warriors in Wu City as the bet!    

"Is four hundred and thirty-five?" Chen Yu said lightly: "If it's still too little, I can get some help!"    

Hong Feeng's heart suddenly jumped, his expression changed a few times, and he said in a deep voice, "Leave a spot for yourself, four hundred and thirty-five is four hundred and thirty-five, it's no big deal. Hong He, take out your wooden tablets!"    

The huge risk also represented a huge benefit. Hong Feeng was shocked by the amount of special Qi in Chen Yu's body. He could not help but feel moved as well.
