Chapter 563: Chapter 563: The Imminent Great Battle
If Ling Chen’s cunning plan succeeds, I’m afraid he will be the one to suffer.
So, he must be stopped.
The Emperor’s Inheritance can be taken by Ye Fentian.
But Ling Chen must die!
Ye Fentian glanced at Ling Chen, and the fiery look in his eyes gradually receded.
As Xia Jiuyou said, an Emperor’s legacy left behind is not just about external items like a ring, what’s more important is what’s inside Ling Chen.
That’s where the true inheritance lies!
"Young Master Ling, put it away. This trifle is not worth my notice as the Young Sect Master," Ye Fentian said indifferently.
Even if he wanted the ring, he didn’t need to be so urgent.
The main reason Xia Jiuyou reported the Emperor’s Inheritance was to avenge his son.
But, it gave him an opportunity.
Without Xia Jiuyou, he wouldn’t even know about the Emperor’s Inheritance.
And Ling Chen’s reason for volunteering the ring was probably due to being intimidated by his strength.
Therefore, he should not disappoint Xia Jiuyou’s heart.
Hearing this, Ling Chen’s heart sank.
It seems Ye Fentian is not interested in the object, he probably really wants his body.
And Xia Jiuyou took a breath of relief.
If he hadn’t reacted swiftly, he would have been tricked by Ling Chen.
Now, seeing Ye Fentian’s stance, he understood the latter’s intentions.
"Young Master Ling, regardless, Xia Jiuyou is a member of my Fentian Sect. You killed his son; this matter eventually needs a resolution," Ye Fentian said smilingly.
"How does the Young Sect Master intend to deal with this matter?" Ling Chen asked.
By that person’s attitude, it’s clear he does not plan to let him go.
He’s determined to take his Emperor’s Inheritance.
Ye Fentian stared at Ling Chen and said lightly, "My Burning Flame Sect values geniuses very highly, and seeing that you have good potential, I’ll give you a chance. Three days from now, you will face Xia Jiuyou in battle. If you win, we’ll consider the matter settled, and I’ll take you back to the Burning Flame Sect for cultivation. If you lose..."
"I’m afraid I’ll have to send you on your way!"
His target is Ling Chen’s Emperor’s Inheritance, and Xia Jiuyou’s target is Ling Chen’s life.
Their goals align perfectly.
If Ling Chen loses, then he has no chance of surviving.
As for the inheritance Ling Chen got, they’ll secure it first.
Even if he wins, he still wants Ling Chen’s inheritance, and with his methods, Ling Chen will likely not survive.
Of course, this is nearly impossible!
Ling Chen is just at the first layer of the Palace Mansion Realm, while Xia Jiuyou is at the third layer.
If Ling Chen wins, it would only prove how powerful this Emperor’s Inheritance truly is.
All the more reason for him to take it!
Letting Ling Chen fight with Xia Jiuyou solves Xia Jiuyou’s problem and allows him to gauge Ling Chen’s abilities.
Why wouldn’t he be delighted?
"What if I don’t want to?" Ling Chen asked.
"The reputation of my Burning Flame Sect cannot be tarnished, so I will have no choice but to erase you!" A bone-chilling voice came from Ye Fentian’s mouth.
He wasn’t negotiating with Ling Chen; he was issuing an order.
If Ling Chen refuses, then he would have no choice but to kill him on the spot.
After all, he must obtain the Emperor’s Inheritance that Ling Chen has gained.
"I will heed the Young Sect Master’s command," Ling Chen said, nodding.
With his current strength, he truly isn’t afraid to battle Xia Jiuyou.
But the problem is, regardless of victory or defeat, he most likely won’t be able to escape Ye Fentian’s clutches.
If he loses, he dies on the spot.
If he wins, he’s only delaying the inevitable for a while.
However, he’s in no position to change the situation.
Seeing that Ye Fentian didn’t care about the ring he offered, even if it comes to Soul Searching, Ye Fentian will still obtain the real Emperor’s Inheritance.
Hearing this, a surge of manic joy appeared on Xia Jiuyou’s face.
Under the formidable pressure of Ye Fentian, Ling Chen has no choice but to fight him.
This time, he could finally avenge his son!
"Good, you’re quite sensible. This is your only chance to survive!" Ye Fentian said with a smile.
Then, he turned to Xia Jiuyou, "Xia Jiuyou, does Great Xia have any famous battlegrounds?"
"Yes!"
Xia Jiuyou hurriedly said: "Outside the Royal Capital, in the northwest direction, there is a great river that runs through, this river is called Wu River!"
Hearing Ye Fentian ask such a question, he naturally understood the latter’s meaning.
Wu River was the longest river in the Great Xia.
Several famous battles had taken place there.
That year, his battle with Liu Qingcang, it was there too!
He was naturally more than willing to be able to kill Ling Chen there.
"Good!"
Ye Fentian said: "Three days later, above the Wu River, I look forward to your battle!"
...
Very quickly, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Three days later, Ling Chen would duel with Xia Jiuyou above the Wu River!
Not only the Royal Capital, but even the most remote places in the Eight Mansions had received this news.
The entire Cultivator World was shaken by it.
Naturally, this news was spread by Xia Jiuyou.
He wanted to personally execute Ling Chen in front of almost all the Great Xia cultivators!
To avenge his son Xia Biluo!
For this, he even didn’t hesitate to order the lords of the Eight Mansions to dispatch troops to escort cultivators to rush towards the Royal Capital.
For a while, the entire Great Xia was stirred.
Countless cultivators were heading towards the Royal Capital.
...
Royal Capital.
People from the seven great families were utterly shocked.
Had Ling Chen really reached such a state?
Especially the Zi Family.
Because of their close relationship with Ling Chen, they had recently been bullied less.
Who could have imagined that the genius they were preparing to recruit had already grown to a point where they had to look up to him?
"Ling Chen is about to battle with the King, does he have any confidence?"
Zi Tiange murmured.
Although he had witnessed Ling Chen slaying Xia Biluo in the Desolate Land,
Xia Jiuyou was not someone Biluo could compare to.
He was a long-established king!
Just a few days ago, he heard that Ling Chen had ascended to the rank of king.
But just having recently ascended to king, he couldn’t possibly be a match for an established king like Xia Jiuyou!
This move by Ling Chen was no different from seeking death!
...
True Martial Academy, True Martial Academy.
Palace Master Mo Han also received this news.
He was shocked for quite some time before finally snapping out of it.
In such a short period of time, his academy’s student Ling Chen had not only far surpassed them but had even reached the enviable Palace Mansion Realm!
He was even going to duel with the Great Xia’s King!
"Ah, my True Martial Academy actually produced such a genius, it’s just a pity..."
Mo Han’s face was full of regret.
The battle between Ling Chen and Xia Jiuyou was perceived to have no chance of victory.
...
South Royal City.
Inside an inn.
"Ling Chen, are you confident?"
Ji Wuya looked towards Ling Chen with a face full of worry.
Although he was aware of some of Ling Chen’s methods, they were also unclear about Xia Jiuyou’s capabilities.
They had no idea how strong Xia Jiuyou was now.
"Master, don’t worry, Xia Jiuyou can’t trouble me. What I’m more worried about is Ye Fentian."
Ling Chen said.
Mainly because Ye Fentian coveted his Emperor’s Inheritance.
With Ye Fentian and his group’s methods, they really couldn’t cope.
Those kinds of strong beings were simply not something they could deal with!
"No, you should leave on your own!"
Ji Wuya spoke out.
Ling Chen gave a wry smile: "In East Qing Province, with the Burning Flame Sect holding sway, where can I escape to? As things stand, we can only take one step at a time!"
If Emperor Yan hadn’t fallen into a slumber, perhaps they could have entered the Emperor Yan Realm to hide for a bit.
But Emperor Yan was already asleep.
There was no telling when he would wake up.
