Chapter 1194: Chapter 1191: The Four Peaks Competition Begins_1 Chapter 1194: Chapter 1191: The Four Peaks Competition Begins_1 After careful consideration, Yang Chen knew that this matter could not be decided in a short time, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He suddenly thought, “Speaking of which, I’ve been delayed in the Cultivation Pavilion for a few more days, and the Four Peak Competition should be starting now.”

He quickly calculated, smacked himself on the head, and realized that he had been too focused in the Cultivation Pavilion and almost forgot about the time. There was only one day left before the Four Peak Competition, and the people of Changlin Peak must be waiting for him at his residence since they couldn’t find him.

With that in mind, Yang Chen didn’t dare to delay any longer and hurriedly left the Cultivation Pavilion to return to his mansion.

When he returned, just as Yang Chen had guessed, Elder Wang Tong and others were already waiting for him at his residence. Seeing Yang Chen return, Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief: “Junior Peak Master, you’re finally back. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Now that you’re back, it’s time for us to participate in the Four Peak Competition.”

Wang Tong had been so anxious that he was considering using his soul to look for Yang Chen forcibly. Now that Yang Chen had returned, there was no need to take such a risk.

Upon returning, Yang Chen glanced at Wang Tong’s side and saw hundreds of disciples led by him. These disciples were obviously the ones who would participate in the Four Peak Competition.

These disciples looked at Yang Chen and whispered to each other.

“The Junior Peak Master is really putting on airs.”

“He even made Elder Wang Tong wait for him personally.”

“If he can achieve good results in this Four Peak Competition for Changlin Peak, it’s fine. If he can’t, I don’t think he’ll remain the Junior Peak Master for long.”

“In my opinion, I’m not sure how he got his position as Junior Peak Master in the first place.”

Yang Chen heard their whispers and wasn’t too bothered by them. After all, no one can be perfect, and it’s normal for people to doubt his strength and abilities.

However, upon further observation, he noticed that these whispered comments were mostly coming from a small group of people, suggesting that there was a specific intention behind them.

After careful scrutiny, Yang Chen found that there was someone instigating these comments, a man who looked about 40 years old. The man’s appearance was plain and nothing special, the kind that would quickly be forgotten in a crowd.

However, his Martial Arts Cultivation was quite impressive, having already reached the Half-Step Heavenly Martial Realm.

It seemed that the man didn’t realize that Yang Chen had noticed him. He occasionally whispered defamatory remarks about Yang Chen, keeping his voice very low. This made it difficult for Wang Tong and the other elders to chastise him, as the man was speaking secretly.

Yang Chen filed the man’s appearance in his mind, realizing that the person held no good intentions toward him. However, Yang Chen kept his composure and asked, “When do we leave, Elder Wang Tong?”

“Junior Peak Master, we will go see Peak Master Hua Wu first, and he will personally lead us to the location of the Four Peak Competition,” Wang Tong replied.

Yang Chen nodded and followed the group to meet the Hua Wu Great Emperor without saying more.

Along the way, many people whispered about Yang Chen behind his back, but most of these were the disciples admiring Yang Chen. Relatively speaking, there were very few opposing voices.

However, after a careful observation by Yang Chen, he found that those opposing voices were incited by the same man he had noticed earlier.

“This Junior Peak Master just got appointed not long ago, and he’s already putting on airs. If he doesn’t achieve good results in this Four Peak Competition, I think the position of Junior Peak Master should be given to someone else.”

“I’m not sure if this Junior Peak Master can really bear his title!”

Yang Chen had to attach importance to this issue after observing it repeatedly. He went to Wang Tong, who was nearby.

“Junior Peak Master!” Wang Tong was surprised to see Yang Chen coming over.

Yang Chen straightforwardly asked, “Elder Wang Tong, who is this senior brother?”

Wang Tong looked at the person Yang Chen pointed out and said, “He should be considered the best disciple of our Changlin Peak before you arrived, Junior Peak Master. His name is Zhao Chen.”

“Oh?” Yang Chen’s eyebrows raised, getting a rough idea.

“Zhao Chen is a core disciple in our Changlin Peak and ranks thirteenth in the Four Peak Competition. He is the first disciple of our Changlin Peak, of course, aside from you, Junior Peak Master. Are you interested in him?” Wang Tong asked with a chuckle, not giving it much thought.

Yang Chen slowly replied, “This disciple has reached the Half-Step Heavenly Martial Realm. I was just curious for a moment and asked.”

Yang Chen didn’t give details, but was also surprised at the strength of the Northern Territory Sect. The thirteenth-ranked disciple in the Four Peaks Ranking had already reached the Half-Step Heavenly Martial Realm, which showed that the competition must be very intense.

Wang Tong didn’t pay much attention, thinking that Yang Chen was just casually asking.

Although Yang Chen didn’t point out Zhao Chen’s malice, he became more cautious around Zhao Chen, as the latter clearly didn’t have friendly intentions toward him.

In just one hour, the group arrived at the Great Hall where Hua Wu Great Emperor was.

Hua Wu Great Emperor had ordered Wang Tong to find Yang Chen. Now that he saw Yang Chen had arrived, he showed a satisfied smile on his face. Not paying attention to the other disciples, he focused on Yang Chen and laughed heartily when he saw him, “Haha, Yang Chen, it’s great! I didn’t expect your strength to improve even more, reaching the peak of the Earth Martial Realm!”

Yang Chen smiled faintly, “It was just a fluke.”

“I don’t care whether it was a fluke or not. Your strength has increased now, so in this Four Peak Competition, you must do your best to get the first place for me!” Emperor Hua Wu said indifferently.

“Of course, I will do my best,” Yang Chen replied respectfully.

Zhao Chen watched this scene with bitterness in his heart. He had reached the Half-Step Heavenly Martial Realm, but had never been praised by Hua Wu Great Emperor like this. Yang Chen had only reached the mere peak of the Earth Martial Realm, so why was he getting such treatment?

Little did he know, Hua Wu Great Emperor had been watching Yang Chen’s outstanding feats on the battlefield when he was only at the Eighth Layer of the Earth Martial Realm. Given Yang Chen’s impressive achievements at that time, Hua Wu Great Emperor naturally felt delighted when Yang Chen reached the peak of the Earth Martial Realm.

Thinking about the increased odds of winning the first place in the Four Peak Competition and receiving the unprecedented amount of resources for himself, Hua Wu Great Emperor could hardly hide his excitement.

Emperors like him were also in need of resources.

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. It’s almost time. Let’s go to Cloud Tiger Peak and participate in the Four Peak Competition!” Hua Wu Great Emperor confidently led the group, walking in front.
