Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Not Qualified

Just as the Great Elder had just ordered someone to call for the Sovereign Master, his secretary suddenly received a phone call, and his face instantly filled with surprise, "He went to the peak of Cloud Summit Mountain?"

For a moment, everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell on the secretary.

Not until after he hung up the phone did Lu Yaozong eagerly ask, "Who went to the peak of Cloud Summit Mountain?"

The secretary glanced at Lu Yaozong, then turned to the expectant Great Elder and said, "Our people have just sent word that the mysterious strong figure left Cloud Summit Heaven Villa and headed in the direction of Cloud Summit Mountain Peak."

"However, the opponent’s strength is too formidable, our people cannot get close at all, so we’re unable to determine their identity."

Lu Yaozong’s breath suddenly became rapid, and he said excitedly, "It must be Mr. Qin!"

"I knew it, Mr. Qin’s strength is unfathomable, how could he possibly be killed? Hahaha..."

Watching Lu Yaozong burst into laughter, a bigwig next to him said in a heavy tone, "How can you be so sure that it is Mr. Qin?"

Lu Yaozong frowned and said displeased, "If it isn’t Mr. Qin, why would he go to Cloud Summit Mountain Peak to challenge Liu Kuangren?"

The bigwig said with a grave face, "Strong figures all have a warrior’s heart. Liu Kuangren has been waiting at Cloud Summit Mountain Peak already, how can you be so certain that the strong figure en route to Cloud Summit Mountain Peak isn’t someone else?"

After hearing what the bigwig said, Lu Yaozong’s face turned beet red. He wanted to continue arguing, but he had no reason to refute.

After all, the other’s point wasn’t unreasonable. What if the mysterious strong figure had killed Qin Chuan, then discovered Liu Kuangren at Cloud Summit Mountain Peak and decided to challenge him?

Thinking this, Lu Yaozong’s complexion turned deathly pale.

He knew Qin Chuan was very strong, but in his heart, the idea that Qin Chuan could reach the strength of Emperor Initial Stage Realm was already the limit; he couldn’t possibly be stronger.

He just couldn’t accept this fact.

Meanwhile, another bigwig said, "No matter if the strong figure who left Cloud Summit Heaven Villa is Mr. Qin or not, it no longer matters. What’s important is whether he will engage in battle with Liu Kuangren."

"Indeed! Since he could slay an Emperor Initial Stage Realm strong figure, it means he at least possesses the power of Emperor Middle Stage Realm, defeating Liu Kuangren isn’t impossible."

"As long as Liu Kuangren is defeated, the dignity of the Battle Domain will also have been preserved."

...

A group of bigwigs expressed their opinions, making Lu Yaozong’s face look extremely ugly.

Lu Yaozong said angrily, "What are all of you saying? Do you have no conscience at all? Mr. Qin is the strong figure we invited to deal with Liu Kuangren. Now his life or death is uncertain, yet all you care about is whether someone will defeat Liu Kuangren?"

He was truly very angry, dissatisfied with his colleagues’ indifferent attitudes.

At that moment, a bigwig looked at Lu Yaozong and said gravely, "Elder Lu, we understand that you have a deep relationship with Mr. Qin, but after all, you are a member of the Council of Elders, and everything should be considered with the overall situation in mind."

"Besides, we haven’t made any comments detrimental to Mr. Qin. Looking from the Battle Domain’s perspective, no matter if the strong figure who left Cloud Summit Heaven Villa alive is Mr. Qin or not, as long as he is willing to do battle with Liu Kuangren, that person is the Battle Domain’s hero."

Lu Yaozong immediately fell silent. He understood their point, and he also understood the importance of prioritizing the greater good, but the thought that if Qin Chuan had truly died, everyone’s attitudes were so cold, it still made him very uncomfortable.

The Great Elder raised a hand to calm everyone, and said solemnly, "No matter what, Mr. Qin is a hero of our Battle Domain. If the strong figure killed at Cloud Summit Heaven Villa is Mr. Qin, then in the future, Mr. Qin’s family will be considered the Battle Domain’s family."

"If the person who left Cloud Summit Heaven Villa is Mr. Qin, and he manages to defeat Liu Kuangren, the Battle Domain certainly won’t let him down."

Having said this, he suddenly looked at the secretary and instructed, "Let’s not summon the Sovereign Master back for now. Instead, prepare all the King Realm Strong figures stationed in Yandu; if Liu Kuangren wins, we must not let him leave Yandu alive."

Hearing the Great Elder’s words, the assembly of bigshots was visibly astonished.

Green Gate Sect had already released the news about the challenge to the Sovereign Master, and Yandu was now filled with powerful figures from all walks of life, all watching this battle.

In such a scenario, if Liu Kuangren truly won, then should the warriors of the Battle Domain dare to raise their hands against him, the reputation of Shen Zhou Battle Domain would stink across the entire world, to say nothing of their dignity.

"Yes!"

No one among the big shots voiced dissent; they all rose and left the meeting.

At the same time, Cloud Summit Mountain was already surrounded by people from all spheres, with numerous top-notch experts concealed amongst them.

At the peak of Cloud Summit Mountain, Liu Kuangren sat cross-legged, clad in a clean white robe, appearing like a banished deity from the ninth heaven.

Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by, and Liu Kuangren opened his eyes, looking towards the figure who was taking steps towards the top of Cloud Summit Mountain.

Seeing the metallic sheen on the mask covering the other’s face, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

But soon, an unprecedentedly solemn look appeared on Liu Kuangren’s face, for he couldn’t sense the slightest hint of aura from the other person.

The figure seemed to move at an unhurried pace, yet with every step, he advanced dozens of stair steps.

The hundreds-meter ascent, the figure had taken only five or six seconds to reach a spot on the other side of the Cloud Summit Mountain Peak, a dozen meters away from him.

The two stood facing each other, looking into one another’s eyes.

Clearly, the figure wearing the mask with a metallic luster was none other than Qin Chuan, and the mask he wore was the "Shadow Phantom" provided by the Battle Domain.

This mask not only covered his face but also altered his voice.

"You are not the Sovereign Master!"

After staring at Qin Chuan for several seconds, Liu Kuangren suddenly said with a frown.

Qin Chuan calmly looked at Liu Kuangren and said, "Indeed, I am not the Sovereign Master, but today, I shall fight you in his stead."

"Heh~"

Liu Kuangren let out a chuckle, then suddenly said, "Is Shen Zhou Battle Domain worried that the Sovereign Master is no match for me, that they’ve asked an outside expert to fight me?"

As he said this, his voice was noticeably amplified, and instantly, all the experts hiding in the shadows heard him.

Not only did they hear it, but so too did all the people from various circles beneath Cloud Summit Mountain.

"What? Shen Zhou Battle Domain actually refrained from sending the Sovereign Master into battle, are they afraid the Sovereign Master will be defeated by Liu Kuangren?"

"If that’s true, then the credibility of Shen Zhou Battle Domain should be reset to zero, after all, Liu Kuangren’s challenge was against the Sovereign Master, not some strong expert brought in from the outside."

"Shen Zhou Battle Domain, you owe all of us an explanation."

...

Instantly, people from various circles at the foot of Cloud Summit Mountain started speaking one after another.

At the peak of Cloud Summit Mountain, Liu Kuangren’s lips curled into a slight arc as he stared at Qin Chuan, "I have no interest in challenges from a nobody. To challenge me, you’re not qualified!"
