Unknowingly, it had already reached the second half of the night.
Everyone chatted to their heart's content. After they had their fill of wine and food, it was almost time for the crowd to disperse. Looking at the dazzling stars in the sky, Han Chen said to the tired Ming Ruo: "Ming Ruo, today, let Big Sister Xin Lan bring you to rest first, okay?"
The few of them were startled, Ming Ruo quickly asked: "Brother, what about you?"
Han Chen's eyes revealed a faint trace of gentleness, and he said in a gentle tone, "I still need to go see someone."
After handing Ming Ruo over to Xin Lan, Han Chen left in a hurry. With the stars in the sky and the moon shining down on him, the youth's heart became increasingly excited. He wondered what it would be like to see his sweetheart when the sun rose in the morning. Expectation, excitement, and a hint of happiness.
At this time, the Mystical Peak was quiet, and the shouts of a few hardworking disciples could be heard from afar from time to time.
A mountain peak gradually appeared in Han Chen's line of sight. Looking from afar, one could see that the beautiful figure of a woman, whose heart was always wrapped up in her dreams, staying within the courtyard.
Han Chen stood at the entrance of the courtyard and waited quietly. He had not seen her for more than half a year. He wanted to give her a surprise and suddenly appear in front of her, quietly waiting for his happiness.
The dawn would come soon, but from Han Chen's perspective, these few hours were as long as a few days. The light of the morning sun shone down, illuminating the entire Mystical Peak as if it was enveloped in dense multicolored light.
Finally, the gate to the courtyard that Han Chen was waiting for was opened, and he felt as if his heart was in the clouds. A young and beautiful girl walked out. The moment she saw Han Chen, she was immediately stunned.
"Han, Han Chen?" The young woman was not Shen Yu, but her good friend, Yu Fei. She looked at Han Chen with her round eyes, her face filled with shock.
Han Chen nodded politely and smiled, "Miss Yu Fei, long time no see."
"Then, about that, you came to find Shen Yu?" Yu Fei stammered for a while before she regained her senses.
"That's right!" I thought the first person to come out would be her! "
"Han Chen, you're late. Shen Yu had already left the Mystical Peak. "
What? Hearing Yu Fei's words, Han Chen was immediately stunned, his face was full of confusion, "What did you say? Shen Yu left? "
At the side of the mountain, the scenery was pleasant and the verdant mountain range was like an unending stream of dragons. Han Chen's gaze was heavy, as if he had thought of everything.
Yu Fei let out a light sigh by the side, as his red lips slightly parted. "Back then, when I came back from the psychedelic forest with Shen Yu, I was often by myself in a daze. Sometimes I see her secretly crying alone in the middle of the night. Even in my sleep I would call out your name. But after waiting for two months, you still haven't come back. "
Han Chen clenched his fists and asked softly, "It's all my fault."
"Shen Yu has been depressed all day, even I feel sorry for him. By the third month, she had received a letter from her family. After that, she hurriedly left the Mystical Peak and even now, he still has not returned. "
Chapter 158 - Victory streak 31
"If that's the case, then why hasn't Shen Yu returned after leaving the Mystical Peak for more than half a year?" Han Chen frowned and could not help but ask.
"I don't know." Yu Fei shook his head, his eyes revealing a look of bewilderment, "In this period of time, I have sent many letters to her, but I never received a reply."
Han Chen fell into deep thought, and a sense of unease surfaced in his heart.
"One more thing." Yu Fei hesitated for a moment, raising his eyes to look at Han Chen, he spoke with a serious tone, "In the two months that Shen Yu has been back, although she has not cultivated for a day, her strength has increased even faster than mine."
"What?" How could this be? " Han Chen was shocked, he stared at the other party in disbelief.
"I don't know either. I remember that when she returned from psychedelic forest, she was only at the sixth level of the Refinement Realm. However, before she left, her strength had reached the ninth level of the Refinement Stage. "
Yu Fei's words were like a clap of thunder that exploded in Han Chen's mind, and one after another, doubts popped up in his mind. He clearly remembered that when he was in psychedelic forest, Shen Yu's strength was only at the peak of the fifth level of the Refinement Realm. However, in just a few short months, he had already reached the ninth level of the Refinement Stage. And it was in a state where he had yet to cultivate.
Even with such talent, a genius wasn't enough to describe her. She was simply a monstrous genius.
Could this be the reason why Shen Yu left Mystical Peak? Han Chen thought about it and after a moment of silence, she sighed: "Miss Yu Fei, you didn't tell anyone else about this right?"
"Nope." Yu Fei shook her head. She naturally understood the danger involved. And the reason why he told Han Chen was entirely because he was Shen Yu's lover.
Han Chen nodded his head, "Thank you very much. I will personally go to Lin Xing City to find her in a few days."
"When the time comes, remember to pass on her message to me."
"Mm. Alright." Han Chen laughed, and then bid farewell and turned to leave.
On the way back, Han Chen's heart was unable to calm down for a long time. Disappointment and confusion filled his heart. Originally, he thought that he would be able to see Shen Yu's brilliant smile. But who would have thought that it would be such an outcome?
Carrying a faint sadness, by the time Han Chen returned to Xin Lan's residence, it was already almost noon. When Ming Ruo who was in the house saw that Han Chen had returned, she immediately went to greet him.
"Big brother, you're back?" How about it? Have you seen big sister Shen Yu? "
"Hmm?" Han Chen was startled. He didn't seem to have told the other party about Shen Yu. Then, thinking about it, he saw that Xin Lan, Dazzling Spring, Wu Jun and the others were also in the hall. He immediately understood what was going on.
"Nope." Han Chen laughed bitterly, "She left the mountain a few months ago."
"What?" Senior Sister Shen Yu left? " As Wu Jun and the others walked out of the house with their faces filled with surprise. They did not know about this. There were thousands of inner disciples. Other than those who were familiar with the place, no one else would have noticed.
Xin Lan walked up to Han Chen and asked softly, "Then do you also have to go down the mountain to look for her?"
"En!" Han Chen nodded his head, and then said: "But not now, wait until I settle Ming Ruo down, and do a few things first, then I will go look for Shen Yu."
The few of them were stunned, only to see a sinister cold aura gushing out of Han Chen's eyes. The first thing he wanted to do, was naturally to fulfill the oath he had made when he fell off the cliff.
"Huayun City, if I don't die today, I will definitely splatter the sky with your blood." It was time to inform everyone that I, Han Chen, was back.
The Colosseum.
As usual, the Colosseum and the Spirit Gathering Tower were the favorite places for inner sect disciples. Compared to the peace and depression in the Spirit Gathering Tower, it was much quieter. The crowd was even more interested in the noise coming from the hot-blooded field.
At this moment, everyone was gathered in the middle of the arena. Below the stage, a crowd was applauding and cheering, stirring up the noisy atmosphere.
"Senior Yun Cheng will win, he won thirty-one consecutive victories."
"Senior Brother Yun Cheng, you can do it! The victor of the throne will be none other than you!"
"Senior Brother Yun Cheng, we all support you becoming the fifth elder's direct disciple."
Below the stage, everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs. The white robed handsom
e man on the stage was Huayun City. He held a long sword in his hand, and silver lightning flowed on the blade of the sword.
His opponent was a man with slightly dark skin and a sturdy figure. He was not weak as well, and the aura he emitted was not much weaker than Huayun City's.
At one end of the crowd, a few figures stood out. The leader was a man and a woman. The woman was beautiful, and her delicate eyebrows revealed a hint of arrogance. She was Huayun City's younger sister, the Fourth Elder's direct disciple, Hua Mei Ling.
"Junior Sister Mei Ling, don't worry! With Junior Brother Yun Cheng's strength, winning thirty-two matches consecutively is not a difficult task. " The person who spoke was the young man beside her. The man had a refined and refined appearance, but his eyes revealed a faint frivolity.
Mei Ling nodded her head, and smiled: "What Senior Brother Deng Ling said is extremely true, I am also very confident in Big Brother."
"Haha, actually, with Junior Brother Yun Cheng's talent, Fifth Elder has long had her eyes on him. The reason why this Colosseum has won thirty-two matches consecutively is only to convince and convince the disciples. "
Just half a month ago, the Fifth Elder of the inner sect announced a piece of news. As long as one could obtain a thirty-two win streak in the arena, they could become his personal disciple. Of course, in order to be fair, those who had already become direct disciples were not allowed to participate.
Once this news was announced. A huge commotion instantly arose in the inner court. Who would want to be the direct disciple of the Fifth Elder? Thus, the Fighting Arena had started a martial arts competition.
Winning thirty-two rounds in a row sounded simple, but doing it was a completely different matter. In order to compete to become a direct disciple, even some of the most outstanding disciples who were unwilling to fight had appeared on the martial arena.
Elite disciples of the eighth level and ninth level of the Refinement Realm appeared one after another. In a battle of strength, it was extremely difficult to obtain a thirty-two win streak.
And Huayun City was truly worthy of her outstanding talent, relying on her tyrannical strength, she obtained the longest consecutive victories of thirty. This was his 31st match. Because of his strength, he had accumulated a lot of popularity among the inner disciples. Only the direct disciples of the elders could be compared with him.
"Huayun City, today, I will break your thirty consecutive victories." The slightly black skinned man's moves were extremely vicious. His continuous attacks caused the air around him to tremble slightly.
"Heh." Huayun City sneered, he did not seem to care at all, "If you have any skills, just use them, no one can stop my thirty-two consecutive victories."
The intense exchange of blows between the two caused the atmosphere of the audience to reach a climax. The two people on the stage were cheering non-stop for the Huayun City.
Seeing Huayun City's performance, Mei Ling could not help but reveal a smile on her face. Beside her, the man named Deng Ling had been paying more attention to Mei Ling than the one on the stage.
"Hehe, Junior Sister Mei Ling, I wonder what realm your mental strength has reached?"
"I'm not afraid of Senior Brother Deng Ling's joke. Mei Ling's talent is mediocre and she has only broken through to the intermediate stage." Although she said those words modestly, Mei Ling's face revealed a little complacency.
"Middle stage? Haha, Junior Sister is truly amazing. It has only been half a year and you have already achieved such a feat. Are there any more geniuses? " Deng Ling kept praising her.
Mei Ling was elated upon hearing this, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "Thank you, Senior Brother Deng Ling."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! While the two of them were talking, an intense wave of energy fluctuations exploded on the stage. Amidst the excited cheers of the audience, the battle was about to end.
"Humph, get lost!" Huayun City shouted, his body releasing a powerful aura, the sword in his hand had a dense layer of electric light surrounding it. A powerful sword strike struck towards his opponent's chest.
Bang! The tanned man was knocked back a few steps, not having time to recover his wits. Huayun City rushed forward and with a leap, he kicked his leg heavily on his opponent's chest.
Puff! The tanned young man spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air in a parabola before landing on the stage. It crashed onto the ground and raised a cloud of dust.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! In an instant, the entire audience was filled with endless cheers as they consecutively won thirty-one victories. Huayun City's face revealed immense joy.
"Senior Brother Yun Cheng is amazing."
"Senior Brother Yun Cheng, we support you."
"We'll achieve our goal in another match. Come on Senior Brother Yun Cheng."
All sorts of cheers echoed throughout the martial arena. Amongst them were the screams of some infatuated girls. The failed man clutched his chest with one hand, his face filled with unwillingness.
"Who can stop me? "Hahahaha." Huayun City threw his head back and laughed, his laughter was filled with arrogance and pride. Thirty-two victories. Now that he had won thirty-one victories in a row, he was only one step away from being the target set by Fifth Elder. To him, the remaining match was as easy as searching foreasure.
Below the stage, Deng Ling's face also revealed a happy expression. Huayun City looked at the countless inner disciples and shouted from above, "Who dares to fight with me again?"
The crowd below the stage began to look at each other. With the momentum of the Huayun City, who would dare to stop him now?
Hua Mei Ling also looked around at the surrounding people, seeing that they were all pushing and shoving each other, she understood that the matter of the Huayun City wanting to become the fifth elder's direct disciple was already completed.
"No one dares to fight again? Then there's no need for us to compete in the last round, Senior Brother Yun Cheng. " Cheers came from the crowd.
"That's right, there's no need to compete. Hurry and notify the Fifth Elder! "
"Senior brother Lian Cheng is the best!"
Hearing the loud cheers from below, the Huayun City on stage was brimming with excitement and pride. However, at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded from the back of the crowd.
"Let me challenge you in this final battle!"
(Brothers, from today onwards, the name of this book will be changed to "The Supreme Divine Diagram".) Of course, the overall outline is unchangeable, I hope my brothers like it.)
Chapter 159 - Deng Ling
A cold voice echoed in the air, instantly silencing everyone present. On stage, the Huayun City was shocked, his eyebrows knitted together involuntarily.
As for Hua Mei Ling, who was in another corner, she too revealed a look of astonishment. It was as if she had heard this voice somewhere before, and it sounded extremely familiar.
The crowd quickly parted to reveal a path, as five to six silhouettes slowly walked out. When the crowd saw the person in the lead, they all sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
"Han Chen, it's Han Chen."
"Why is he back? Didn't he disappear from psychedelic forest? "
All kinds of noise and confusion rose and fell within the crowd, Huayun City's eyes were wide open, as though he had seen a ghost, his face was filled with disbelief.
"Han, Han Chen, is that really you?"
"Hehe, Huayun City, how have you been!" Han Chen's mouth formed a faint smile, and then leaped up the stage under the watch of the surrounding people.
Regarding the name Han Chen, he had quite a bit of fame amongst the inner disciples of the Mystical Peak. Initially, he was the only one who hadn't returned from his mission to the psychedelic forest. They had disappeared for more than half a year, and the reason for their appearance once again was to challenge the Huayun City, to the point that the disciples present could not react in the s
lightest.
"He is Han Chen?" Below the stage, Deng Ling shot a cold glance at Han Chen, and started to speak frivolously.
Hua Mei Ling, who was standing beside him, frowned, arace of unease rose in her heart. The other party came to the Huayun City as soon as she returned. Was there some other reason?
Wu Jun, Xin Lan, Ming Ruo and the rest all had serious expressions on their faces. They were the only ones who knew what had happened. They naturally would not stop Han Chen from seeking revenge against the Huayun City.
Han Chen and Huayun City who were standing on stage faced off against each other, and the latter's face gradually darkened. Gripping the longsword tightly in his hand, he stared coldly at the other party, "I didn't expect you to be able to return to Mystical Peak."
"Hur hur, that's right!" The heavens have opened their eyes for me to return and fulfill the oath I made. " Han Chen's expression was relaxed, with a faint smile hanging on his face. However, there were traces of coldness within those pitch-black eyes.
If not for the Huayun City, he would never have separated from Shen Yu. It could be said that everything that was happening now was caused by the other party. Han Chen was extremely determined to kill the Huayun City.
"Hmph, you think you can kill me?" Huayun City squinted his eyes, his state of mind calming down.
Han Chen raised his handsome eyebrows, and withought, a sword appeared in his right hand. Let's begin! I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain the thirty-second victory. "
Towards Han Chen's arrogance, all the disciples on stage booed loudly. When Han Chen had first entered the inner sect, the Huayun City's strength had greatly surpassed his own. And now, the other party had even reached half a step into the mastery realm. Excluding the direct disciple, he was the strongest among all the inner disciples.
Even if Han Chen's Inherent Skill was any better, he couldn't possibly surpass Huayun City, right? At least, that was what everyone present was thinking.
"Junior Sister Mei Ling, don't worry. "This kid is at most at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm, he can't beat Junior Brother Yun Cheng." Deng Ling comforted her.
