Chapter 483: Chapter 482 Immortal Yan Goes to Battle
Qin Yanyang’s voice reverberated through the void, echoing incessantly in everyone’s ears, rendering the Divine Travel Realm elders of the Hidden Sect speechless and without the words to refute.
Wang Chunyang seemed to not expect Qin Yanyang to put forth such a request, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Wang Changchun, Ouyang He, and others were also silent, not easily taking a stance.
Her point was valid.
The Hidden Sect had the advantage in numbers and many strong cultivators in the Divine Travel Realm, bullying two juniors from the outside world would naturally be easy.
But one mustn’t bully others too far.
The three conditions were already harsh enough; Qin Yanyang had agreed to them all, and now she had posed a reasonable request. If the Hidden Sect didn’t agree, it would seem unjustifiable.
Most importantly, her remark about the Hidden Sect’s deficiency had truly provoked the people of the Hidden Sect.
The younger generation, in particular, was so angered that they howled loudly, labeling her arrogant and presumptuous. Some talented youths even stood up wanting to challenge her but were intimidated back by the looks from their elders or the Divine Travel Realm masters.
After a brief silence, Wang Chunyang said with a stern voice, "I have already stated before, agreeing to give you a chance for a contest is the Hidden Sect’s only concession. You have no right to set terms."
A wave of disappointment sank in Qin Yanyang’s heart; she hadn’t thought this man would be so despicable and shameless, to disregard the reputation of the Hidden Sect and not even agree to her reasonable request.
"So there’s nothing to discuss, then?" Qin Yanyang said, her gaze cold as she stared at Wang Chunyang.
She considered herself very capable of controlling her emotions, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but become angry.
Yang Fei, feeling her anger, gently squeezed her palm and smiled at her.
Qin Yanyang glanced sideways at him.
When their eyes met, they both smiled at each other.
If there’s nothing to discuss, then let’s fight.
It would be nothing but death at worst.
They were as close as husband and wife. Though they had not the reality of marital bonds, their affection for each other was mutual. He had been willing to face life and death with her, to advance and retreat together.
Today, for his sake, she risked the world’s great taboo, staking the harmony of both worlds on a high-stakes gamble and entering the world of the Hidden Sect to save him.
Seeing the woman beside him disregard everything for his sake moved Yang Fei deeply. At this moment, his heroic spirit soared, and a flash of determination in his eyes, he pointed at Wang Chunyang and declared, "Since the younger generation of the Hidden Sect World consists of cowards, and you all enjoy bullying the weak with your strength, then my wife and I have nothing to say. Wang Chunyang, if you consider yourself a man, accept the challenge of my wife and me joining forces against you. The two of us together, do you dare to accept the fight?"
Upon hearing Yang Fei’s words, Wang Chunyang was furious.
Ouyang He couldn’t help but let out a slight laugh.
Helian Zhan even let out a chuckling sound, one that would make anyone think of words like mockery and disdain.
Mo Li, Chen Liangzhong, and Zuo Wenjun also had strange expressions on their faces, looking quite awkward.
Today, Wang Chunyang stood in the forefront representing the various powers of the Hidden Sect, even suggesting the conditions for the contest, all of which they had tacitly accepted.
However when Qin Yanyang put forth a reasonable condition afterwards, Wang Chunyang was put in a tight spot, making it difficult for him to agree readily.
As a result, he found himself in the eye of the storm, about to bear the reputation of a shameless scoundrel.
You, a mighty cultivator in the Divine Travel Realm, revered as Sword Obsession, would actually descend personally to discipline two juniors.
If you win, it is expected, but it is hardly an honorable victory. If you lose, it becomes a laughingstock, tarnishing your name far and wide.
Wang Chunyang was clearly aware of the dilemma.
He could not help but feel a tinge of regret, but at the same time, he was also unhappy with Ouyang He, Helian Zhan, and others behind the scenes.
When it was time to make a decision, you all agreed, but now you mock from the sidelines. Truly infuriating.
While he was conflicted, weighing whether to take the field himself to suppress these two youngsters, a cold voice entered the scene.
"Humph, such arrogance. Who says the younger generation of our Hidden Sect is without talent? I, Immortal Yan, am the first to object!"
As these words were spoken, Yang Fei’s eyes flashed with an unusual color.
Helian Zhan’s mouth curved into a smile as he watched the woman, whose face was covered with a black scarf, slowly approaching; he couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Ouyang He burst into laughter and stepped forward to greet her, "Good disciple, your timing is perfect."
Wang Chunyang also perked up, his expression relaxing somewhat.
Excitement erupted all around.
"Great, the enchantress from Poison Sect has arrived... cough cough, Fairy Yan is here."
"With her here, Sword Obsession shouldn’t need to fight personally. Otherwise, wouldn’t it prove that our Hidden Sect’s young generation truly lacks someone?"
"Right, those two young people from the outside Divine Continent Country are too arrogant. They dare to belittle our younger generation of the Hidden Sect. It’s infuriating. We should be the ones to restore our own reputation."
"Now that Immortal Yan has arrived, it won’t be long before other young talents from different Sect powers appear. Any few of the outstanding youths from the Eight Great Forces are enough to suppress these two ignorant youngsters."
"Yes, we should wait a little longer. We don’t need anyone else. As long as that genius from the Ji Family shows up here, and together with Immortal Yan, they can take on these two arrogant fools two-on-two and settle this contest of fighting prowess."
"Indeed, if Ji Qingshan were to arrive, there’s no way we’d let these two outsiders stay so brazen."
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were silently delighted.
The opportunity had finally come.
Cultivators are often hot-blooded, and the younger members of the Hidden Sect had already become impatient with the provocations of the two. Had it not been for the old ghosts of the Divine Travel Realm holding them back, they would have chosen a representative to fight long ago. Now, with the appearance of Immortal Yan, they seemed to have found a leader and their morale surged, with many voicing their opinions and urging for the young to enter the fray.
Amidst the discussions, Immortal Yan had already stepped into the arena.
She first paid her respects to her master Ouyang He, and then politely greeted the several Divine Travel Realm powerhouses present.
The Divine Travel Realm powerhouses were also very courteous to Immortal Yan, considering she was Ouyang He’s Direct Disciple and a leading figure among the young generation of the Poison Sect.
This young woman had already entered the Innate Realm at a young age, and with her deep mastery of the Poison Technique, a true inheritance from the old poisoner Ouyang He, there were only a handful in the Hidden Sect World of the younger generation who could suppress her limelight.
Such a person, even if she did not take over the Poison Sect to become the head of a Sect, would still be a future boss who could shake the Hidden Sect with a stomp of her foot.
After greeting the powerhouses, Immortal Yan walked straight to the center of the arena and stopped about ten meters away from Yang Fei and his wife.
Her eyes, hidden behind the black veil, shone brightly like crescents, and her gaze locked onto Qin Yanyang, as she slowly began to speak, "I’ve long heard of Qin Yanyang’s great name. As a fellow woman, I admire you for coming alone to save your husband. But your boastful words, claiming our Hidden Sect’s younger generation to be without talent, have disparaged me as well, and I cannot accept this. I wish to battle with you."
Qin Yanyang, meeting the woman’s gaze, felt although her words sounded polite and pleasant, they disguised a deep animosity towards her.
Yet at that moment, having a young person stand up to challenge her was exactly what Qin Yanyang wanted. Without overthinking, she nodded and said, "Very well, I accept your challenge."
Immortal Yan turned her head to look around and said, "I, Immortal Yan, will represent the younger generation of the Hidden Sect in this contest. What say you, everyone?"
"With Fairy Yan here to relieve us young cultivators of this resentment, we are immensely grateful. Among the young ones present, Fairy Yan is the most suitable to fight."
"Indeed, there’s no need for a second choice."
"We’re at ease with Fairy Yan taking action."
Cheers erupted in an instant, making it clear that Immortal Yan’s reputation was strong enough, and her challenging Qin Yanyang, another woman, was most fitting.
Immortal Yan listened to these voices, but her brow furrowed slightly.
She glanced at Qin Yanyang, her eyes flashing with intense flames, but when her gaze swept over Yang Fei, she felt a pang of concealed sorrow.
Kid, I’m risking my reputation today to help you and your wife escape danger. I hope you’ll remember this favor in the future.
Just then, Wang Changchun laughed heartily, "This contest is clearly two-on-two. Since Brother Ouyang’s beloved disciple is fighting, the first battle must be won without fail. For the second battle, well, I recommend that the Ji Family’s youngster take to the field."
