"Saintess, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Little Luo was nearly frantic, her tears streaming down continuously.
"In one month, I will fight, but, I will not deliberately lose!!!" Mo Qingwu took a deep breath and made her decision.
"There are no ’buts’!" Mo Qingwu interrupted Little Luo: "Little Luo, I need to continue my cultivation, please leave."
Su Chen was staring at Qin Li: "Has the battle announcement not been issued yet?"
"I..." Qin Li took a step back.
"It seems I’ll have to do it myself!" Su Chen frowned.
"No, I’m going to issue the battle announcement now!!!" Qin Li bit her lip, realizing that she could not simply brush it off, and hurriedly went straight to her grandfather’s study.
A message spread throughout Great Cang City and began to expand to the entire Yi State Domain.
"Su Chen! The man of Mo Qingwu! Will challenge Yu Paojing in seven days!"
This one message, once released.
Caused a stir in all directions.
Because both Su Chen and Yu Paojing had recently become celebrities in the wind and storm.
Countless people were watching closely.
One was the Eternal Evil who defeated Jun Luoying and won first place in the Qiuqing Martial Path exchange competition.
One was a peerless genius who activated the War Race bloodline and got a Heavenly Fate Realm Demon Beast as a mount.
Su Chen was actually Mo Qingwu’s man?!
Mo Qingwu, throughout the Yi State Domain, had no small fame; it is said that she could bring a nation to its knees with her beauty, a stunning Saintess of rare occurrence.
Yu Paojing was among the top talents actively pursuing Mo Qingwu, standing out from the many.
This clash, this collision!!!
It was a battle for a woman.
Too dazzling, too blinding.
Even Qin Li herself did not expect that the issuing of this challenge would cause such a huge sensation.
For a time, the entire Great Cang City was discussing:
"Su Chen is Mo Qingwu’s man? Is there no mistake? Isn’t Su Chen from the Scarlet Prefecture?"
"It is said that Mo Qingwu and Su Chen are both from the Lower Realm, and when they were there, they pledged themselves to each other for life. Both are monsters in martial arts cultivation. After coming to the Divine Martial Continent, they each joined a Sect."
"Good heavens! Su Chen is actually from the Lower Realm? Does the Lower Realm also have such Eternal Evils?"
"For a woman, he does not care about his life? No matter how talented Su Chen is, he should not be challenging Yu Paojing now!"
"Exactly! Yu Paojing has activated the War Race bloodline! Plus with his mount! His combat power is soaring straight toward the third level of the Heavenly Fate Realm!"
"It seems that being the first place in the Qiuqing competition has left Su Chen a bit disoriented, not even having this bit of patience. Just three to five years; you can imagine how poor his state of mind is!"
"In seven days?" In the room, Su Chen frowned and then gave a wry smile: "This girl, is she trying to buy time?"
Originally, he had wanted the battle to happen immediately.
But it’s just seven days, no matter.
At worst, I’ll continue my cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, Su Chen stepped out of the room and into the courtyard.
With a thought, the Heavy Divine Sword appeared!
The Heavy Divine Sword, with the Power of Ten Thousand Dragons.
"I might as well get used to this weight during these days!" Su Chen muttered to himself as he lifted his hand and began to wield the Heavy Divine Sword.
This Heavy Divine Sword was not much different from the previous one, at least in appearance.
But the weight had increased six or seven times.
Whenever Su Chen swung the blade, the Heavy Divine Sword would even occasionally sink into the Void.
The strength was so great that the Void and Real Space seemed no different to the Heavy Divine Sword.
Inside the main hall of the Sect.
Chen Qingbei, the Sect Master of the Leiming Sect.
The Great Elder Mu Zong.
The Second Elder Wei Wuqiu.
The Third Elder Zheng Gou.
The Fourth Elder Huang Wei. Thɪs chapter is updated by novｅlfire.net
The Fifth Elder Sun Xi.
All sitting upright in their seats, each with a somewhat solemn expression.
Suddenly, Chen Qingbei looked to Sun Xi and asked, "Are you sure?"
The Fifth Elder Sun Xi nodded firmly, "Positive, that Su Chen who ranked first in the Qiuqing Martial Tournament has declared himself to be a man of Mo Qingcheng!!! I’ve investigated Su Chen’s profile further, indeed, he came from Burning Heaven Sect, originated from the Lower Realm! All came through the Divine Human City examination to enter the Divine Martial Continent!"
Chen Qingbei’s expression turned sour, and suddenly, he fiercely turned to the Second Elder Wei Wuqiu, "Wei Wuqiu, you gave up on such an Eternal Evil?"
Before Wei Wuqiu could speak, Chen Qingbei interrupted, shouting, "Wei Wuqiu, you should die! Do you realize what you’ve let the Leiming Sect miss out on? That was a future paramount power!"
Wei Wuqiu, looking frightened, stood up, stammering, "Sect Master, I... I had no knowledge that Su Chen was so defying, his Realm truly doesn’t match his Combat Power."
At the same instant, the Great Elder Mu Zong spoke, "Sect Master, it’s useless to be angry now; what’s most important is how we can remedy this."
Chen Qingbei frowned, "To fulfill the union between Mo Qingwu and Su Chen, what do you think?"
"Impossible!" In a flash, Mu Zong and the other four Elders rejected the idea unanimously and without hesitation.
"Why?" Chen Qingbei asked bleakly.
"Sect Master, even if Su Chen is remarkable, he is still but one person. Moreover, for now, he has only displayed a terrifying talent for martial cultivation; it does not mean he will grow into a colossal power," Mu Zong slowly said:
"Besides, even if Su Chen could become such a power, he would not be likely to aid the Leiming Sect, given his feelings toward the Sect stemming from the events in Divine Human City."
"Furthermore, we’ve constantly pressured Mo Qingwu into marriage, forcing her to enter the Holy Path to avoid us, nearly dying there."
"Also, three days ago, the Second Elder had already informed Mo Qingwu that in the battle against the sole daughter of Du Xuan Sect a month from now, she must lose and is forbidden from winning."
"It can be said that Mo Qingwu feels no fondness or sense of belonging towards the Leiming Sect either."
"If we were to facilitate her union with Su Chen, it would be good enough if they don’t look back and resent the Leiming Sect, let alone expect that she and Su Chen would aid the Leiming Sect. It’s impossible."
After Mu Zong finished speaking, Wei Wuqiu took over, "The news about Su Chen only needs to be cut off within the Leiming Sect. Mo Qingwu can’t leave the Leiming Sect, so naturally, she won’t find out about Su Chen. Then, after the challenge with Zhang Xin Xiao is finished a month later, we quickly select a marriage alliance for Mo Qingwu with a First-Rank Power. This way, the Leiming Sect will receive a betrothal gift from a First-Rank Power – we won’t be at a loss."
Chen Qingbei furrowed his brows, "If so, what if Su Chen finds out everything in the future and retaliates against the Leiming Sect? What then?"
"Hmmph!" Wei Wuqiu scoffed disdainfully, "No matter how monstrous Su Chen is, he’s only one person. His Holy Spirit Academy is far in the Scarlet Prefecture – they wouldn’t dare to come so far as the Yi State Domain to aid him. Otherwise, it would mean war between the State Domains. As for him alone, no matter how talented, how could he be an opponent for the entire Leiming Sect? If he really overestimates himself, we needn’t wait for him to grow; we can kill him directly to avoid future trouble—it’s not out of the question."
