Chapter 1176 - Chapter 1176 Chapter 1173 Four Peaks Grand Competition_1

Chapter 1176: Chapter 1173: Four Peaks Grand Competition_1 Chapter 1176: Chapter 1173: Four Peaks Grand Competition_1 It was no coincidence that Du Changfei was in his current position, as he excelled in observing people and situations. This made the higher-ups of Changlin Peak trust him with various responsibilities and tasks, so he could handle all kinds of trivial matters on behalf of Changlin Peak.

When he noticed his son’s anxious expression, Du Changfei, with a keen sense, asked, “Haicheng, what’s wrong?”

At this moment, Du Haicheng’s face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice, “Father… FATHER, I have something to tell you, and you must not blame me for it.”

“Oh? What’s the matter?” Du Changfei asked nonchalantly, not feeling that it was a significant issue. He could handle any situation currently in Changlin Peak, big or small without much difficulty. Even if his son made a mistake, he believed he could stabilize it.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Du Changfei couldn’t calm down when he heard Du Haicheng’s explanation.

“Father… I… I think I might have offended the new Junior Peak Master,” Du Haicheng said timidly.

As soon as Du Haicheng finished those words, Du Changfei’s expression changed. “What did you say?” He shouted.

…

Yang Chen was unaware of what had happened below, but as the newly-appointed Junior Peak Master, he knew that he had to be serious and couldn’t be vague about it.

At this moment, Hua Wu Great Emperor was in high spirits. After seeing Yang Chen come up, he kindly said, “As you all can see, this is Yang Chen, the future Junior Peak Master of Changlin Peak. From now on, he will have the power to manage all major and minor affairs of Changlin Peak, with his authority second only to mine.”

Upon hearing this, many Changlin Peak disciples and high-level officials were shocked.

Did Hua Wu Great Emperor just joke about it?

In the past, although the position of Junior Peak Master was indeed high, it wasn’t as unreasonable as this. This was because the Junior Peak Master was still growing, and no one knew what they would become in the future. This was also the reason why the Junior Peak Master’s position couldn’t be too high, with limited authority.

However, after Hua Wu Great Emperor’s words,

Even if they were foolish, everyone now understood that Hua Wu Great Emperor had the intention to train Yang Chen as his future successor.

Many people’s gazes at Yang Chen started to change.

“Alright, let’s not waste time on idle talk. Let’s begin the ceremony.” Hua Wu Great Emperor waved his hand.

Wang Tong immediately shouted, “The ceremony begins!”

As soon as Wang Tong’s words fell, gongs and drums filled the air. In an instant, the entire ceremonial venue became noisy. Then, grass and flowers flew around, and petals scattered everywhere, creating a beautiful scene. It was clear that these spectacular arrangements were prepared in advance for the inauguration ceremony.

“Congratulations, Young Sect Master Yang!” Wang Tong stepped forward and congratulated with a smile.

Following his lead, the disciples of Changlin Peak also shouted in unison, “Congratulations, Young Sect Master Yang!”

Then, the representatives of the other major peaks came forward to give their gifts, “Congratulations to Young Sect Master Yang; this is a gift from our Yunhu Peak.”

Hearing the words “Yunhu Peak,” Yang Chen turned his head and saw Wei Zheng and Lin Hao. As their eyes met, Wei Zheng and Lin Hao both broke out in hearty laughter.

“Brother Yang Chen, congratulations! When you have a chance, be sure to visit our Yunhu Peak, and we can discuss our divine powers and secret techniques together!” Wei Zheng said.

Upon hearing the good relationship between the three, Wei Zheng and Lin Hao’s master couldn’t help but smile, “You guys should learn more from Young Master Yang Chen. I have heard of his great talents and achievements from a young age. Since we came in a hurry, we didn’t prepare anything too valuable. We hope you won’t laugh at these small gifts!”

As soon as the elder finished speaking, he handed over the gifts with no pretense, showing his sincerity.

Of course, Yang Chen knew that it wasn’t his abilities that earned him so much respect from these people, but mostly because of Hua Wu Great Emperor.

Regardless, Hua Wu Great Emperor’s kindness was something Yang Chen had to keep in mind.

Yang Chen received the gifts and took a closer look, taking a deep breath. Such generous gifts, and they called them small?

Yunhu Peak was truly modest. He quickly replied, “I have accepted Yunhu Peak’s intentions, and I hope all of you will visit our Changlin Peak often in the future!”

“Of course, of course!” Lin Hao and Wei Zheng’s master quickly agreed.

Not holding back, Lin Hao and Wei Zheng happily said, “Yang Chen, we have remembered your words, and when we visit in the future, you must treat us well.”

“Of course.” Yang Chen replied with a smile.

After Yunhu Peak, Taqing Peak and Baihe Peak also came forward with valuable gifts. Yang Chen didn’t know anyone from Baihe Peak, but there was someone he knew from Taqing Peak.

That person was Su Yao.

Su Yao came alone without any elders accompanying her, but no one dared to underestimate her. After all, who didn’t know that she was the top disciple among the four peaks of the Northern Territory Sect?

Now, as Su Yao prepared her precious gift, her expression was solemn. She candidly handed over the gift, “Yang Chen, take this gift. I’m always straightforward, so I’ll let you see for yourself what kind of gift this is. My master and I prepared it specially for you. Whether you like it or not, this is it.”

“…” Yang Chen felt both amused and helpless, accepting the gift without looking at it, and said, “Miss Su, as long as it’s a gift from you, how can I not like it?”

“Hmph, you’re quite good with words. Yang Chen, I didn’t feel right challenging you to a duel before you became the Junior Peak Master. Now that you are the Junior Peak Master of Changlin Peak, it’s perfect since my position in Taqing Peak is also quite extraordinary. In the future, don’t refuse when I challenge you,” Su Yao demanded.

Seeing Su Yao so stubborn, Yang Chen felt bitter and said, “Miss Su, we are both disciples of the Northern Territory Sect. There’s no need to fight so often, right?”

“What, do you think that I’m not your match?” Su Yao angrily asked, “Just because I lost to you a few times doesn’t mean I’ll lose to you forever. I’ve just mastered some powerful techniques. This time in the Four Peak Competition, it’s not certain who will come first and who second.”

Su Yao was always outspoken, but her words did astonish many people, as Su Yao was known to be an unbeatable force among the four peaks. And yet, she had suffered defeats in the hands of others. Yang Chen, in particular.

At this revelation, many disciples of Changlin Peak couldn’t help but feel proud.

“Our Junior Peak Master actually defeated Su Yao?”

“Young Sect Master Yang looks about the same age as Su Yao.”

“Was our Junior Peak Master so powerful in the last round? I thought we picked the last Junior Peak Master just because he was ranked eighth among the four peaks.”

“Would such a powerful figure join our Changlin Peak?”

The disciples were surprised, curious, and full of expectations for this mysterious Junior Peak Master.

Having no choice, Yang Chen said to Su Yao, “See you at the Four Peak Competition then.”
