Overriding the Heaven

0Chu Yan knew a little about the Shen Family, at that time Shen Polang had told him before.    

    

But now, it seemed that it was Shen Polang's one-sided wish to return to the main branch.    

    

Listening to Emperor Shen Huang's tone, the Patriarch Shen Branch did not care about the return of his branch and even did not wish for them to return.    

    

However, from the looks of it, this matter seemed to have become one of the contradictions.    

    

Shen Qing continued lowering her head, not answering the questions of the crowd.    

    

However, her fists were now clenched even tighter, causing her knuckles to turn white.    

    

"Did you notice, that Emperor Shen is only at the initial stage of Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage." Just then, Chu Yan spoke out, breaking the silence.    

    

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.    

    

"I am even more unconvinced because of this!" Su Jianyuan slapped the table, "We are all at the initial stage of the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, and his realm is not higher than ours, what's there to be proud about, and even if he were to reach the peak of the Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage, he might not be our match!"    

    

Su Jianyuan said this confidently.    

    

In fact, there were quite a few people present, including him, who had that sort of confidence.    

    

Chu Yan, Su Jianyuan, Li Xiu, Jiang Panmeng, Shen Qing, had all defeated disciples of a higher cultivation realm, which was why they were able to obtain this placing.    

    

To them, a higher level challenge was already the norm.    

    

"Then, have you guys noticed that the cultivation realms of the four disciples by Emperor Shen Shi's side are all higher than his?" Chu Yan said again.    

    

Everyone was stunned.    

    

Just now, their attention was focused on Shen Huang's body, leaving the two men and two women to remain silent. Naturally, they did not pay too much attention to him.    

    

"This Shen Huang is clearly not as simple as it looks." Chu Yan continued: "The five of them should all be participating in this time's General Election of the Orthodoxy, but they are clearly led by Emperor Shen, who has the lowest realm."    

    

After saying that, Chu Yan looked around at the rest of the people, and then said: "Do you guys think that is normal?"    

    

The crowd frowned slightly.    

    

Although the realms of the nine of them were different, when they went out, they were led by Shen Ruihang, Jiang Chengxin and Fan Cheng, who had the highest realms. After all, they were senior brothers.    

    

But now that they thought about it, the Blue Feather Sect was completely different. From start to finish, it was all because of Emperor Shen, and the others did not say anything. Furthermore, before they left, the four of them were gathered around Emperor Shen.    

    

"Four high level disciples, surrounding a low level disciple." Fan Cheng's eyes flashed, "What is the reason for this?"    

    

"There are only two reasons." Chu Yan stretched out two of his fingers, "Firstly, Emperor Shen Huang had some sort of background, and those four people wanted to curry favor with him."    

    

"Of course not." Jiang Panmeng shook her head: "Those who can represent the sect in the battle must be the best of the best in the sect. Although it is possible to have the urge to befriend him, it is absolutely impossible for them to be fawning on him.    

    

Everyone agreed and expressed their agreement.    

    

Chu Yan bent one of his fingers, and only one more: "So there is only one condition remaining."    

    

Looking at the crowd, Chu Yan enunciated each word clearly: Shen Huang's strength, has made those people follow him from the bottom of their hearts, and they are willing to follow him from the sides.    

    

When those words were spoken, everyone was shocked. However, after careful consideration, they realized that this was indeed the only possibility.    

    

In the world of cultivators, although levels were strict, in reality, it was extremely simple. To use the most vulgar words, it was "the size of a fist is reasonable".    

    

What family background, background, fortuitous encounters, etc. Only by transforming them into his own strength could he make others admire him.    

    

Recalling the actions of the two men and two women just now, everyone immediately fell silent.    

    

It was very obvious that they all agreed with Chu Yan's point of view.    

    

"A Qing, this cousin of yours does have the ability to be arrogant." Chu Yan sighed.    

    

Shen Qing lowered her head. Hearing those words, her heart tightened.    

    

Somehow, she felt her nose go sour and she wanted to cry.    

    

But just at this moment, she felt Chu Yan pat her shoulder, and Chu Yan's smiling voice sounded beside her ears: "However, I believe you can defeat him."    

    

In an instant, Shen Qing felt as though her chest was struck by something. The grievance she felt earlier was replaced with satisfaction and joy.    

    

This feeling of being encouraged and acknowledged by others caused goosebumps to appear on her arms.    

    

"You — really have faith in me?" Raising her head, Shen Qing looked at Chu Yan and asked.    

    

Being able to speak up in the middle of the crowd for her usually quiet self, it could be seen how much of an impact Chu Yan's earlier words had had had on her.    

    

"I'm waiting to see him lying on the ground with a face full of regret after being beaten by you." Chu Yan nodded.    

    

There was no hesitation in his words.    

    

Shen Qing was taken aback for a moment. A moment later, her complexion gradually returned to normal, and the dark expression in her eyes returned to normal.    

    

However, even though the crowd did not continue discussing about this matter, the appearance of Emperor Shen and the others still more or less brought about an effect to their minds.    

    

The atmosphere of the gathering was not cold, but it was not lively either. Everyone seemed to have something on their minds.    

    

After eating, everyone went back to rest.    

    

After Chu Yan arrived at Tianxuan Divine Palace, he planned to continue walking around in the inner circle. Maybe he could meet the other party, but seeing that everyone was not in a good mood, he decided to forget about it after pondering for a while.    

    

At a time like this, it was best to not affect the mood.    

    

After returning home, everyone returned to their own rooms.    

    

When Chu Yan returned, handsomeness had already woken up from its drunken state. Thus, he just so happened to wrap up the food for handsome and Xiao Tangtang to eat.    

    

On one side, handsome enough to despise Chu Yan and the others for eating this leftover food, but on the other hand, he still buried his head into the lunchbox, eating until his face was covered with vegetable juice.    

    

After all, compared to raw food and barbecue, the dishes in the restaurant were the highest delicacies that he had ever tasted for a handsome man.    

    

After he finished eating, Xiao Tangtang lied down beside Chu Yan's feet and closed his eyes to rest. He was still handsome enough to not raise his head, and only after licking the inside of the lunchbox to the point where it was glistening did he let out a long sigh and stopped.    

    

Later that night, Lian Yongzhi called for the nine people participating in the competition.    

    

Seeing Lian Yongzhi's gloomy face, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts could not help but to feel heavy.    

    

The format of the General Election of the Orthodoxy's competition has already been decided. The first round will be a two-to-two match between the sects, eliminating three sects, and then the remaining three sects will enter the second round. The final victor of the second round will become the next round's Orthodoxy. Lian Yongzhi took a deep breath and said to everyone.    

    

When he said this, everyone understood.    

    

In the first round, the opponent was decided by drawing lots, and those who lost would lose their qualifications to enter the second round.    

    

"Incorruptible Elder, since the first round is a competition, what about the second round?" Shen Ruihang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.    

    

A strange expression appeared on Lian Yongzhi's face as he said, "You guys are curious about the method of the second round, why not ask us who our opponent for the first round is first?"
