The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1199 - Chapter 1199 Chapter 1196 A False Accusation_1

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1196: A False Accusation!_1 Chapter 1199: Chapter 1196: A False Accusation!_1 Zhao Chen’s idea was simple: if I can’t have it, Yang Chen shouldn’t either!

He wanted to sit comfortably in the second place, but it wouldn’t be that easy.

Zhao Chen’s words resonated with many people, causing more discussions and once again putting the referee in a difficult situation. One must admit, the awkwardness for the referee was mainly due to the fact that the power to control the rules actually lay with the Great Emperor, so they didn’t know how to deal with such a sudden embarrassment.

The key point was that Emperor He Tan and Jin Shi Great Emperor liked to watch the drama unfold, so Hua Wu Great Emperor had no choice but to ‘accompany’ them and couldn’t give Yang Chen an explanation.

Now, seeing no one could help him, Yang Chen had to stand up for himself.

It must be said that Yang Chen was somewhat regretful now. Why didn’t he show his ruthlessness earlier?

Obviously, some people couldn’t feel the kindness you showed them.

Seeing Yang Chen remaining silent, Zhao Chen became even more aggressive: “Yang Chen, can you justify yourself? Why are you seated in that position? Did you use legitimate means?”

If it wasn’t for legitimate reasons, Zhao Chen wanted to see how Yang Chen could pass the test of all the disciples of the Four Peaks!

Yang Chen could see that many disciples from the Four Peaks were waiting for his answer.

It made Yang Chen’s expression cold: “Zhao Chen, I am in the second place because the Law Enforcement Hall approved it. Do you have any objections?”

“It’s not just me who has objections, everyone is curious about what you relied on to be in that position. You know, that position used to belong to Second Senior Brother Yin Hu. He had such an extraordinary demeanor and fought to the death for our Northern Territory Sect. His position should be occupied by someone similar to him, not someone using despicable means to get there.” Zhao Chen was clever, seizing on one point and relentlessly pressing Yang Chen. He even brought up the Second Senior Brother from the past to stir people’s emotions.

Some people who originally didn’t care were unsettled upon hearing the name of Second Senior Brother Yin Hu.

Obviously, that Second Senior Brother may not have been very popular, but he was still a name in many people’s eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen laughed.

Admittedly, at first glance, his becoming the second place in the Four Peak Competition was through illegitimate means. However, Yang Chen had no guilty conscience at all.

When Zhao Chen asked him like that, Yang Chen’s tone suddenly became cold: “Alright, Zhao Chen, since you asked like this, let me tell you, in our Northern Territory Sect, the ranking of the Four Peak Competition can change through open fights, where everyone can witness the victory or defeat, or private fights, where both parties admit the outcome. Under such circumstances, the ranking can be reestablished, and this rule is valid, right?”

“Of course, but who did you fight privately? Nobody knew you before you joined the Northern Territory Sect,” Zhao Chen said coldly.

“I’m sorry, I, Yang Chen, defeated the top ten disciples of the Four Peaks in the Western 42 Regions even before I joined the Northern Territory Sect, and obtained their recognition. That’s why I took this seat,” Yang Chen said calmly.

Out of respect for Lin Hao, Wei Zheng, and Su Yao’s faces, Yang Chen didn’t specifically mention who he had defeated.

However, even so, it was enough to scare Luo Heng, even though he had never been to the Western 42 Regions.

Zhao Chen was taken aback, not expecting Yang Chen to actually have a reason. But realizing the reason couldn’t hold up, Zhao Chen immediately shouted: “Yang Chen, who are you trying to fool? You think you can use that reason? You think anyone believes you? I could say I’ve defeated the top ten disciples of the Four Peaks too, who would believe it? Tell me, who did you defeat, and who among them would admit it?”

“I was defeated by Yang Chen when I was in the Western 42 Regions!” Lin Hao said lazily.

“I also lost to Yang Chen!” Wei Zheng said, “Zhao Chen, I, Wei Zheng, am the third place, Lin Hao is the second place, and we both lost to Brother Yang Chen. Is it a problem for him to take the second place?”

Victory or defeat is a common occurrence in warfare, and they had already wholeheartedly admitted to losing to Yang Chen during their time in the Western 42 Regions.

Only the weak would be unwilling to admit their failures.

Lin Hao and Wei Zheng were not weak!

When their words fell, Zhao Chen’s body stiffened.

“I also lost to Yang Chen.” Su Yao wasn’t planning to speak up, but her competitive nature wouldn’t allow her to ignore her past setbacks. So even though she knew it was pointless, she still spoke out.

As soon as her words fell, the people below were all in an uproar.

“The rumor is true.”

“Yang Chen really defeated Senior Sister Su Yao!”

“So, shouldn’t Yang Chen be in first place?”

“What is going on!”

Many people were confused.

Su Yao saw that many people didn’t understand, so she bluntly said: “Yang Chen is not interested in my first place. If he was interested, I would have given it to him at any time before this Four Peak Competition, because he defeated me, and I admit defeat wholeheartedly. However, he didn’t want it, and since he still defeated Lin Hao and Wei Zheng, the second place is for him to sit in. Do you have a problem with that?”

Su Yao’s words were domineering and brutal, but they were irrefutable.

“He is seated in this position today because it is approved by the Law Enforcement Hall, and also by us, and of course also by the rules. However, I have only lost to him once, and who wins and loses in this Four Peak Competition is still uncertain.” Su Yao seemed to recall something she had forgotten to say and added a sentence at the end.

Those words were obviously meant for Yang Chen. After saying that, Su Yao snorted and sat down cross-legged without speaking.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a mixture of laughter and tears. He knew that the competitive Su Yao wouldn’t give in so easily.

At the same time, he was also grateful to the three of Su Yao for helping him out. Otherwise, as friends, it was not appropriate for him to say that he had defeated them.

“Now, Zhao Chen, have you understood?” Yang Chen said coldly.

Zhao Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing that his situation was getting quite desperate, and shouted: “I don’t believe it! There must be some conspiracy involved. How could Su Yao possibly lose? I don’t believe it!”

However, even he felt that his words lacked persuasiveness when he finished.

Yang Chen respectfully said, “Several referees, I have explained everything that needed explaining. Can Zhao Chen be convicted of spreading rumors now?”

The referees, who had been displeased with Zhao Chen all along, said coldly: “Zhao Chen, you deliberately slander your fellow disciples. Without any evidence, you keep on babbling. What crime should you be punished for?”

Zhao Chen’s heart trembled, knowing that he was in big trouble now.
