Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

Su Qingyuan's reason was too good. Even the higher-ups of the sect were unable to stop him.    

    

After all, Su Qingyuan's identity was also one of the top geniuses in the Fire Cloud Peak, the head of the Fire Cloud Peak disciples. In the entire Ruling Spirit Sect, his reputation was not obvious, but this had nothing to do with strength, and only had to do with his low profile and patience. And this, was also the reason why the elders of Fire Cloud Peak were standing by his side without hesitation. Only the elders of Fire Cloud Peak knew that the geniuses of the younger generation, in terms of Fire Cloud Peak, were actually inferior to Su Qingyuan.    

    

The hatred between father and son was irreconcilable. Since Chen Yu had killed Su Qingyuan's father, it was only natural for Su Qingyuan to take revenge. Although a martial practitioner would be separated from the secular world once they entered the sect, a deep grudge could still not be ignored.    

    

In fact, if Su Qingyuan decided to ignore his father's grudges, many people would feel that this person was cold and untrustworthy.    

    

The sect was above the mundane world, but they couldn't completely break away from it!    

    

Furthermore, if a practitioner wished to climb the martial way, their heart must be clear. To forcefully stop Su Qingyuan from taking revenge was the same as suppressing Su Qingyuan's dao heart. This was something that the Fire Cloud Peak Faction could not accept.    

    

"Master!" The tall and sturdy Fire Cloud Peak elder said: "A great hatred for life and death, a matter of life and death, it is only natural. Is it because the Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu, favors the top ranker in the Large Competition? "    

    

"Zhu Yan, where does favoritism come from?" Qi Zhengnan was quite angry as he said: "The sect forbids fellow sect members from killing each other, even if the father and the father have an irreconcilable feud, it must not go against the sect's rules. Furthermore, everything is just Su Qingyuan's word. How can you just say whatever you want to say? "    

    

"A one-sided speech?" The Elder named Zhu Yan said, "Martial Uncle Qi's words are making us sad!"    

    

With Qi Zhengnan's seniority, the Fire Cloud Peak Department did not dare to go against him. Zhu Yan's words were rather tactful.    

    

"Alright!" His voice contained a will that could not be refused, forcing everyone to remain silent. He then turned to Chen Yu and said: "Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, this sect will ask you, was what Su Qingyuan said true just now? Did you really kill Su Qingfeng's father and brother?"    

    

Chen Yu had been observing from the sidelines as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him. Now that Chu Tianshu asked, he did not hesitate as he nodded, "Reporting to Sovereign, what Su Qingyuan said is the truth!"    

    

Qi Zhengnan and a few of the main peak elders frowned at the same time.    

    

"What reason?" Chu Tianshu asked coldly.    

    

"Because if they don't die, then my clansmen will die in vain, and I will let down the spirits of my clansmen in heaven!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "I don't dare to practice in the sect peacefully. I must always remember the safety of my loved ones!"    

    

"It seems that there is a deep grudge between your two families!" Chen Yu said it in a simple manner, but Chu Tianshu had already noticed the clues. His expression was slightly pale as he said: "Now, Su Qingyuan has proposed a life and death duel to you. What do you think?"    

    

Chen Yu said, "Disciple is willing to accept a fight to the death!"    

    

"Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu!" Qi Zhengnan shouted: "Don't think that just because you took first place in the competition, you will be considered as the number one of the inner sect disciples. Your cultivation has not even broken through the Spirit Accumulation Stage yet, how could you be a match to a warrior at the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Stage?"    

    

"Thank you for your concern, Elder. Disciple understands!" Chen Yu looked at Su Qingyuan and said, "But in this battle, disciple has no reason to avoid it. On the path of martial arts, you must not retreat."    

    

"Arrogant and ignorant!" Qi Zhengnan shouted.    

    

Chu Tianshu's face also darkened.    

    

Chen Yu understood Chu Tianshu's displeasure. As the Ruling Spirit Sect Sect Master, Chu Tianshu wanted to maintain the existence of Polar Extreme Peak from the perspective of the overall situation. And now, all the hope was on Chen Yu alone. Chen Yu had agreed to Su Qingyuan's life and death challenge, because once Chu Tianshu died in the battle of life and death, all that he had done for Polar Extreme Peak would be in vain.    

    

Ning Bingyu, Koo Xiaochen, and the other top ten disciples of the Large Competition were shocked. They looked at Chen Yu with a complicated expression.    

    

"What a good 'no retreat'!" Zhu Yan praised: "Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, Falling Star Immortal has his reasons for choosing you. Sect Master, since you have agreed to help even the Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, how can the sect stop them from settling their grudges? "    

    

"Elder Zhu Yan, do you want me to let you be the Sect Master?" Chu Tianshu coldly snorted, then suddenly said with a cold tone.    

    

Zhu Yan's expression stiffened, he said, "I don't dare, Sovereign is too serious!"    

    

"Where is the Law Enforcement Hall?" Giving Chen Yu a deep look, Chu Tianshu shouted loudly.    

    

"I was just learning that Law Enforcement Hall can be here!" A main peak elder stepped out of the crowd.    

    

"Law Enforcement Hall, dispatch your disciples to head over to Minglan City right now and verify the grievances between the Chen Family of Polar Extreme Peak of Chen Yu and the Su Family of Su Qingyuan. Chu Tianshu said in a deep voice.    

    

"Law Enforcement Hall, accept my orders!" Meng Zhi said in a deep voice.    

    

"Fire Cloud Peak, Su Qingyuan!" Chu Tianshu looked at Su Qingyuan.    

    

"Disciple is here!" Su Qingyuan bowed and answered.    

    

"It is only natural to take revenge for our father and brothers. Since you do not object to your proposal to determine life and death with Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu, then there is no reason for us to stop him!"    

    

Su Qingyuan's expression changed as he turned around to look at Chen Yu. His eyes flashed with a cold light and his killing intent surged.    

    

"But!" However, before Chu Tianshu could finish his sentence, he continued, "Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu has painstakingly won first place in the tournament and needs some time to recuperate. Moreover, the age and cultivation realm of your two parties is far from one another, this is an extremely unfair matter. If the sect allows you to have a life or death battle, then you must consider the degree of preparation from both sides for this battle! "    

    

Su Qingyuan's expression sunk.    

    

"Sect Master!" Zhu Yan opened his mouth to refute.    

    

"Humph!" Chu Tianshu turned his head to look at Zhu Yan. His eyes flashed as a majestic spiritual will poured into Zhu Yan.    

    

Zhu Yan's body shook and his forehead was covered in sweat.    

    

"Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu!"    

    

"Disciple is here!" Chen Yu bowed and answered.    

    

"If you are willing to accept this battle, when do you think this battle of life and death should happen?" Chu Tianshu said in a deep voice, "As the weaker party, you can set a date. In order to make up for your lack of cultivation base, you should put this battle in ten years. Perhaps our sect can!"    

    

Su Qingyuan immediately clenched his fists, while his nails dug deep into his palms.    

    

Chu Tianshu was clearly biased. However, what he said made sense. Since Chen Yu's cultivation level wasn't high enough, giving him time to grow up was within the meaning of the question.    

    

Chen Yu muttered to himself.    

    

Anger flashed across Su Qingfeng's eyes.    

    

As for Zhu Yan and the other Fire Cloud Peak elders, they did not dare to retort at this time. Chu Tianshu might seem easy-going, but as the sect master and number one of the sect, if they were not able to provoke him, then even if their Fire Cloud Peak Wu Steelwind had arrived, they would not dare to compete with Chu Tianshu.    

    

"I need two years!" After pondering for a while, Chen Yu slowly spoke.    

    

"Two years?" Chu Tianshu frowned and said, "Is two years enough time? Do you know that in the Large Competition, many methods are prohibited, but life and death battles are different! "    

    

In the great sect competition, some of the methods left behind by Profound Dark Stage experts were all forbidden, otherwise, the great sect competition would accidentally become a fight between the methods of the clan's Profound Dark Stage elders.    

    

However, a life-and-death battle was different. This was not only a battle of strength, but also a struggle of the sect's means and power.    

    

Su Qingyuan was the direct disciple of Fire Cloud Peak Feng Xing Lie, and Chen Yu's Polar Extreme Peak already existed in name. The difference between the two was not normal, so Chu Tianshu reminded Chen Yu.    

    

"It's enough!" Chen Yu said, "Two years is enough time, there's no point in fighting for any longer than that!"    

    

Chu Tianshu looked at Chen Yu deeply and said: "That's good. Fire Cloud Peak, Su Qingyuan, do you have any objections?"    

    

"Disciple has no objection!" Su Qingyuan gritted his teeth. He was still unwilling to accept it, but in the end, he still answered.    

    

"Today, two years from now, the two of you will determine life and death!" Chu Tianshu said, "Before that, both sides are forbidden to cause trouble. Otherwise, the punishment will be severe." This was especially true for the Fire Cloud Peak Branch. Other than Su Qingfeng, other disciples were not allowed to look for trouble with Polar Extreme Peak, otherwise they would bear the consequences. The two of you better take care of yourselves! "    

    

With that, Chu Tianshu waved his sleeves, straightened his body, and left in big strides.    

    

Some people thought that Chen Yu did not know his place, and even when Chu Tianshu personally supported him, he still agreed to Su Qingfeng's duel. Some people even expressed their appreciation that Chen Yu's courage and determination was indeed impressive; it was not luck that he had won first place in the Large Competition.    

    

Qi Zhengnan sighed and turned around to leave.    

    

At this moment, the Thousand-zhang Plateau was in an uproar.    

    

"He doesn't know death, Polar Extreme Peak and Chen Yu don't know death, how can he be a match for Senior brother Su?"    

    

"Although Senior Brother Su has never taken the first place in the Large Competition before, his cultivation has advanced valiantly and his talent is not inferior to the geniuses who have taken the first place in the Large Competition!"    

    

"In two years, Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu was unable to even break through the shackles of the Body of Void, how could he be a match for Su Qingyuan?"    

    

"…"    

    

Sect Master Chu Tianshu's personal permission for this battle caused a huge uproar among the hundreds of thousands of inner court disciples.    

    

"He's too stupid. That fellow surnamed Chen has already taken first place in the Large Competition, so the sect will naturally take great care of him. Yet, he agreed to Su Qingyuan's challenge and is courting death!"    

    

"The limit of the Psionic Waste Body is bound to be his death in two years!"    

    

"…"    

    

The crowd dispersed, heading towards the Cloud Descending Platform and the foot of the mountain.    

    

Chen Yu was able to hear some of the discussions, but he remained indifferent and didn't mind it at all.    

    

"Chen Yu!" Su Qingyuan turned around to face Chen Yu and said, "I look forward to your battle prowess in two years' time. I hope that you won't disappoint me!"    

    

Chen Yu suddenly grinned and said: "Su Qingyuan, the Minglan City Martial Arts Palace's senior Mountain Master asked me to send my regards to you. Senior Lu Yuan has done me a great favor, I will use your life to pay tribute to Brother Lu Shi's divine soul that we have never met!"    

    

A shadow flashed in Su Qingyuan's eyes, and he snorted: "After two years, there will be an answer. After I kill you and take revenge for my father, I will cut off the last shackle in this world, and then, I will be able to attain Profound Dark Stage!"    

    

With that, Su Qingyuan turned around and walked off the stage.    

    

Zhu Yan and the other Profound Dark Stage Elders looked coldly at Chen Yu, and also left with Su Qingyuan.    

    

"Junior Brother Chen!" Koo Xiaochen, Ning Bingyu and the rest had been standing on the stage. At this moment, Koo Xiaochen was staring at the backs of Su Qingyuan and the rest as he said, "Two years is too short. Isn't Junior Brother Chen a bit too arrogant?"
