Chapter 538: Chapter 395 Supreme List (Must Read)
Song Zhilun smiled heartily and turned his head to glance at Wei Wuya before saying,
“The Demon Lord is at his convenience,” Wei Wuya said as he clenched his fist in salute.
After speaking, Song Zhilun nodded, transformed into a wisp of profound Demonic Qi, and slipped into a certain part of the Ascending Immortal Tower. Next, Wei Wuya stepped forward and slowly descended from the void to the top of the tower.
The onlookers from the Hidden Dragon List made way, clearing a space.
This place was neither far nor near from Chen Yuan, clearly demarcating their positions. The two men tacitly withdrew their gazes at the same time and nodded slightly, as if to greet each other from a distance.
Wei Wuque’s eyes twinkled as he excused himself from Chen Yuan and made his way to Wei Wuya’s side, cupping his hands and saying with a smile,
“Wei Wuque of Beiliang pays his respects to Brother Wei.”
Wei Wuya gave Wei Wuque a glance, his brows furrowing slightly, but he still returned the gesture and asked,
“What brings the Princely Heir here?”
With a faint smile, Wei Wuque spoke in a low voice,
“Even in the barren lands of Beiliang, I have long been in awe of Brother Wei’s reputation. It’s been several years since I’ve been hidden away, yet I’ve secured a spot among the top three of the Hidden Dragon List. A true magnate indeed. Frankly, a significant reason for my visit this time is centred around Brother Wei.”
Though the voice was soft, Chen Yuan could still hear it clearly. A smile curved at the corner of his mouth as he shifted his gaze to Martial Emperor City below.
The main building of the Ascending Immortal Tower was established halfway up Immortal Mountain, where the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy was incredibly rich. Cultivating here was almost as effective as cultivating in a secret chamber while inscribing a Gathering Essence Array.
For Martial Artists with lower cultivation, even a deep breath here could be felt to slowly increase their cultivation. It truly lived up to the name of a Blessed Land of Immortal Mountain.
Regrettably, for Chen Yuan at this moment, it wasn’t of much use anymore.
More and more Hidden Dragon List elites gathered on the top floor, dividing into more than a dozen circles of various sizes. The two most central figures of the circles were Chen Yuan and Wei Wuya, respectively.
As for the once top-five contender of the Hidden Dragon List, Gu He, he now had no presence to speak of, his face a mask of dark gloom as he glared forward, his body wrapped in a forbidding aura.
Yu Qingyan, in accordance with Chen Yuan’s advice, had deliberately shifted Gu He’s focus onto Chen Yuan. Although there was no verbal dispute, everyone present could sense that something was amiss.
For Chen Yuan, none of these were important; Gu He was doomed to death.
One might assume that accidentally killing Gu He during the struggle of the Ascension Battle would be a common occurrence, right?
Following Wei Wuya’s arrival, another heavyweight figure ascended to the top floor, causing a stir among the gathered geniuses of the Hidden Dragon List with his mere appearance.
This person was none other than Zuo Chengzong of Wudang, who was ranked equal first with Chen Yuan on the Hidden Dragon List!
Compared to Chen Yuan’s sudden rise, Zuo Chengzong brought even more psychological pressure to the crowd because since his debut in Jianghu, he had directly ascended to the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.
He started at a point higher than anyone else present.
In the years that followed, Zuo Chengzong climbed to the top three, and thereafter, held the number one position on the Hidden Dragon List for nearly five years.
During that time, it wasn’t as though no one challenged him, but they were almost all bitterly defeated.
This established Zuo Chengzong’s invincible reputation, and after Chen Yuan rose to prominence by slaying a Grandmaster, Zuo Chengzong didn’t remain idle. He too descended the mountain and killed a Grandmaster.
In the end, the Ascending Immortal Tower had no choice but to amend the rules for ranking on the Hidden Dragon List, creating a situation where there were two supreme talents ranked equally first, leaving the second position vacant.
This was truly unprecedented and unparalleled.
The majority of the crowd’s attention was focused on Zuo Chengzong, while the rest were on Chen Yuan, their eyes filled with anticipation. Get full chapters from novelꞁire.net
As the saying goes, two kings do not share a crown!
These two men, being co-equals on the Hidden Dragon List, were bound to not see eye to eye. Everyone was eager to see if they would compete for dominance right then and there.
In Martial Emperor City, fighting was prohibited, but there was a fighting ring specifically established for Martial Artists.
It was an understanding of the nature of Martial Artists; it was impossible to ban it completely, and thus, an outlet was needed.
If that were the case, the crowd might lose one of their formidable opponents.
As Zuo Chengzong stepped closer and closer to Chen Yuan, Gu He’s eyes gleamed with eagerness, hoping that Zuo Chengzong would suppress Chen Yuan and, preferably, kill him.
Just as others relished his misfortune, he was no match for Chen Yuan, but it was enough for him if someone else could be.
The atmosphere around them suddenly tensed, and all eyes intensely fixed on Chen Yuan, with even Wei Wuque and Wei Wuya halting their conversation to turn their attention to the long-established names.
Zuo Chengzong, plain in appearance, would not stand out in this gathering of elite talents from the Hidden Dragon List. Yet he exuded an unusually powerful aura.
He wore a green Daoist robe embroidered with an Eight Diagram pattern, his demeanor calm. With his hair tied in a topknot and a Magic Sword on his back, upon closer inspection, he indeed appeared refined.
Zhang Xuan, Shangguan Yu, and Ye Chenbai all focused their eyes, staring intently at Zuo Chengzong.
Only Chen Yuan met his gaze with an equally indifferent look.
Zuo Chengzong stopped three feet from Chen Yuan, his aura blending into the void, subtly contesting with Chen Yuan. Without physical combat, the mere clash of their auras was palpable.
After three breaths, the aura around both men dissipated simultaneously, yet their eyes still harbored a profound seriousness.
Zuo Chengzong performed a Daoist salute and said softly,
“Zuo Chengzong of Wudang.”
Zuo Chengzong gave a faint smile, moved to Chen Yuan’s side, and as he looked down at Martial Emperor City below, he began,
