Chapter 694: Chapter 691: Reaching an Agreement_1
Upon hearing this, Huyan Shun and the elder from Wood Dragon City both felt a bit awkward. Li Ruoxiang was right, whether those disciples had crossed the line and violated the rules, they knew it as clear as day. However, they had taken the initiative by seizing the Green Lotus Sect disciples first, and now they had the advantage.
They knew better than anyone that as Li Ruoxiang had said, they were trying to reap benefits without any effort.
Feeling embarrassed after being exposed by Li Ruoxiang’s words, Huyan Shun found that getting something for nothing seemed not so simple. He had no choice but to say, “Sect Leader Li, enough of the small talk. What do you think would be fair?”
“In one sentence, if you want our Green Lotus Sect to compete, that’s fine. If we lose, we will give you our Spiritual Vein Area, and the same goes for you. If you lose, you must also allocate a Spiritual Vein Area to us!” Li Ruoxiang said emotionlessly.
Huyan Shun and the high-level members of Wood Dragon City exchanged glances, and their minds were made up.
Huyan Shun smiled and said, “Alright, Sect Leader Li, you are quite straightforward. Since that’s the case, let’s not beat around the bush. If we lose in this competition, we will give 20% of the Spiritual Vein Area from both our sides to your Green Lotus Sect, how about that?”
“Twenty percent?” Li Ruoxiang considered it.
Huyan Shun enticed, “Sect Leader Li, think carefully. The twenty percent, plus the disciples who crossed the line, that’s quite a lot!”
Li Ruoxiang never thought that the twenty percent of the Spiritual Vein Territory was too little. On the contrary, she thought it was already quite a lot.
It was clear that Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City were quite confident in winning the competition among the young generation against her Green Lotus Sect.
Otherwise, with the stingy nature of these two forces, how could they be so generous? The only reason they were so generous was that they were extremely confident, and they were well-prepared.
Unfortunately for Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City, while they were extremely confident, Li Ruoxiang also had confidence in winning.
Where did her confidence come from?
It was Yang Chen.
No matter what, she had to compete in this competition. If she didn’t compete, it would be difficult for her to save her disciples.
And for the competition, her best trump card was undoubtedly Yang Chen.
Without a doubt, Yang Chen’s abilities were better than anyone else’s in the Green Lotus Sect.
With this thought in mind, Li Ruoxiang no longer hesitated and directly said, “Fine, we Green Lotus Sect accept the challenge. In that case, let’s head outside and compete there!”
“Sect Leader Li is quite straightforward,” Huyan Shun and the elder from Wood Dragon City exchanged a glance, both reading the taste of a successful conspiracy from each other’s eyes.
In an instant, the three forces all rushed out.
Yang Chen stood in the crowd, inconspicuous, and followed the main force heading outside.
It didn’t take long for the three forces to reach their destination, ready for the competition.
“Sect Leader Li, we will adopt the best of five matches system. We will send our talented subordinates from our two forces and your force. The winner will be the one who wins three games first, how about that?” Huyan Shun said.
“No problem,” said Li Ruoxiang.
As the words fell, the three forces immediately began to prepare their talented subordinates for battle.
Li Ruoxiang didn’t even have to think about it, her gaze immediately fell on Yang Chen.
Yang Chen coughed a few times and immediately said, “Sect Leader Li means…”
“Do I even need to ask? I want you to make a move!” Li Ruoxiang said with her hands behind her back: “Yang Chen, if you help me once again, I’ll write off your debt to the Green Lotus Sect completely. Moreover, I’ll repay you handsomely. What do you think?”
Upon hearing the debt being written off, Yang Chen nodded. He never liked owing others. Since Li Ruoxiang had said that, he wouldn’t refuse.
He said, “If Sect Leader Li needs my help, I’ll do my best!”
As soon as these words fell, he was about to step forward.
He was also curious about how much his strength had increased after reaching the Ninth Level of the Yuanwu Realm.
The talents of Wood Dragon City and Demon Subduing Sect should be similar to those of the Green Lotus Sect, although their talents were slightly better. In any case, he should be able to handle them.
As his thoughts wandered, Yang Chen suddenly blinked.
Not only Li Ruoxiang but everyone was caught off guard. They understood that the talents representing Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City would be extraordinary. But Yang Chen never expected that among the talents representing Demon Subduing Sect and Wood Dragon City, there were a few familiar faces.
“Is it He Guang and Fu Qingqing?” Yang Chen thought.
Indeed, these two familiar people were none other than He Guang and Fu Qingqing who Yang Chen had encountered at the Trial Tower in Huangsha City last time.
Yang Chen had always known that He Guang and Fu Qingqing had extraordinary backgrounds. Comparing their age and Martial Arts Cultivation, they were much stronger than anyone from the Eastern Region’s Thirty-six Counties. Even Luo Yunhu from the Black Dragon Sect was no exception.
Who would’ve thought that he and the two of them were so destined to meet again here after parting last time.
“No wonder Wood Dragon City and Demon Subduing Sect are so confident. It turns out they have invited two powerful characters,” Yang Chen muttered to himself. “This has become a bit tricky now.”
Undoubtedly, He Guang had at least reached the fifteenth floor of the Trial Tower, so he couldn’t be an ordinary person. Yang Chen hadn’t seen his strength with his own eyes, but he knew that defeating He Guang wouldn’t be easy.
A master at the half-step True Martial Realm…
Li Ruoxiang had naturally noticed all of this, her brows furrowed, staring intently at Fu Qingqing and He Guang.
These two didn’t seem to notice Yang Chen because he hadn’t yet appeared from the crowd.
In this way, Wood Dragon City and Demon Subduing Sect selected several suitable talents, along with He Guang and Fu Qingqing. For a moment, their lineup was terrifying, and the Qi emanating from these talented individuals was far from mediocre.
Seeing this, the disciples from Green Lotus Sect became hesitant, even Li Ruoxiang was nervous.
“Yang Chen, He Guang and Fu Qingqing are both formidable opponents. Let my External Incarnation go first. This way, you won’t be consuming too much True Qi, making it difficult for you to fight later,” Li Ruoxiang said through soul transmission, somewhat concerned about Yang Chen’s condition.
Yang Chen, however, waved his hand and refused very clearly, “Sect Leader Li, there’s no need for that. Since I’ve said I’d help you, in these best of five matches…I’ll be sure to bring you those three victories. Instead of worrying about me, Sect Leader Li, you’d better focus on how to repay me properly.”
As this transmission went out, Yang Chen didn’t wait for Li Ruoxiang to say anything else and took a step forward and then out into the open.
