Chapter 746: Dispute
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Huang Yanchen’s eyes were filled with curiosity. She stared deeply at Lin Yue. It was hard to imagine that this young man was willing to be her guard.
Even the three Palace-keeping Beast Guardians working together were no match for him. With his abilities, he could compete for the Kunlun Heir’s spot. Was there really someone in this world that didn’t want to be the prestigious Kunlun Heir?
It wasn’t that Zhang Ruochen didn’t care about that spot. However, he was clear that he couldn’t take the position, no matter what. The nine Kunlun Heirs would be sent to the Central imperial city after being chosen. They would meet Princess Chi Yao and become her disciple in the end.
Even if Zhang Ruochen completely changed his looks and reached an even higher cultivation plane, he probably still couldn’t fool her. Once she recognized him, he would be dead.
The others could fight to the death for that spot, but Zhang Ruochen didn’t need it. In that case, he would use this chance to help Huang Yanchen. Who could bear to see his fiancée be humiliated and ridiculed by outsiders?
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen walked up the steps to the top of Scroll Mountain.
The three beasts had been defeated. Naturally, the Monks of the Demonic Sect were all angered. Everyone was furious.
“Kid, you’re looking for death.”
When Zhang Ruochen had climbed only 30 steps, a thin and pale figure flew up from the seats for the Conquers. He transformed into eerie wind and charged towards Zhang Ruochen.
This man was Gu Sha from the Five Sha Pavilion, one of the Demonic Sect’s nine pavilions. The eerie wind had an abnormal coldness to it, making the man’s white robes flutter, revealing a white skeleton.
The skeleton’s hands reached out at the same time. They pressed forward and a gust of aura seemed to make the sky cave in.
“White Bone Sky Print.”
Only two skeletal palms had pushed out, but countless handprints appeared.
Whoosh, whoosh. Chilling Qi came out of the dozens of handprints and they flew around the sky with piercing whistles.
The centermost handprint was the biggest. The skeletal finger alone was three meters long. It reached Zhang Ruochen’s body.
The White Bone Sky Print was a supreme Ghost level martial arts technique. It turned 99,999 bones into dead Qi and combined it with one’s arms to be cultivated successfully.
The 99,999 bones were the bones of nine Ninth Change Fish-dragon Realm Monks, 90 bones of Monks who’d completed the Heavenly Realm, 900 bones of Monks who’d completed the Earth Realm, 9,000 bones of Monks who’d completed the Xuan Realm, and 90,000 bones of those who’d completed the Huang Realm.
A Monk who wanted to cultivate it successfully needed at least seven or eight years.
If Gu Sha could complete this kind of supreme Ghost level technique in the Dragon-Fish Realm, it meant that he was definitely one of the top figures of the Five Sha Pavilion.
“You think you can stop me?” Zhang Ruochen took out Sword One and stabbed forward. Wind whistled and 81 sword Qi images shattered the skeletal handprints.
Gu Sha was extremely shocked. He didn’t think that the technique he’d practiced so hard for would be shattered so easily.
Whoosh!
A gust of strong wind rushed towards him.
“Oh no!” Gu Sha cried inwardly. He hurriedly moved to action. He pushed his feet forward and ducked back into the eerie wind to escape.
“Too late!” Zhang Ruochen’s voice sounded in Gu Sha’s ears. He was already so close.
Zhang Ruochen combined his mental and physical powers. His right hand was enveloped in purple lightning as it slammed against Gu Sha’s head. There was a crack and Zhang Ruochen snapped Gu Sha’s neck. The huge skull sank halfway into his neck.
Because of the cultivation’s uniqueness, Gu Sha’s vitality was strong. He was only injured and didn’t die.
Zhang Ruochen kicked Gu Sha down the mountain.
Thud, thud.
At the foot of the mountain, all the talents sitting in the Talent Seats were terrified at seeing Gu Sha roll down the mountain from meters high.
An inheritor of the Saintly Clan sitting in the seats exhaled deeply. “The fourth one!”
“That Lin Yue...is really crazy. He disabled four powerful figures of the Demonic Sect in a row. Is he going to give each one a strike until he reaches the top?”
“Who can stop him?”
...
A moment later, a commotion sounded atop Scroll Mountain again. Then two fighters of the Demonic Sect rolled down the steps to the foot of the mountain. Someone recognized these two. They were Centipede Eight of the Beast Palace and Mo Sha of the Five Sha Palace.
Lin Yue’s battle achievements were extremely shocking. Even when the Demonic Sect kept sending powerful people after him, no one could stop him. Right now, he was walking towards the Kings.
Of course, people found something strange. Why was Lin Yue taking Huang Yanchen of the East Sacred Mansion to such a high position?
When they’d first started up Scroll Mountain, people thought that they were allies or that Lin Yue was helping Huang Yanchen because he wanted to pursue her. Thus, no one thought it strange.
Huang Yanchen was a disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji and had the Xuanwu source. She was only in the Seventh Change of the Fish-dragon Realm, but her abilities were quite powerful. As long as no one targeted her, she could sit easy in Talent Seat.
It was different now. Lin Yue had brought Huang Yanchen past 18,000 Talent Seats and 3,000 Conquer Seats. They were now going for the 108 King Seats.
What did this mean?
Lin Yue had the abilities to sit in the King Seat. This was undeniable. At the same time, Huang Yanchen in the Seventh Change of the Fish-dragon Realm definitely couldn’t sit there.
“Who’s that blue-haired beauty beside Lin Yue? She’s only in the Seventh Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. How does she dare to reach this position?”
“She’s an heir to the East Sacred Mansion called Huang Yanchen. Apparently, Lin Yue is close to her. He might be pursuing her.”
...
Red Wish Emissary narrowed her pretty eyes. “Lin Yue can bring her up the mountain, but he can’t help her keep the seat,” she said, either out of jealousy or mockery. “With her abilities, it’ll be an honor just to get a Talent Seat. Why does she want to go for the King Seat? Can she even keep it?”
Even with Red Wish Emissary’s abilities and the help of two Black Market Excellence Hall helpers, she could only get a lower Conquer Seat.
But Huang Yanchen dared to go for the King Seat. Red Wish Emissary obviously didn’t think highly of her.
Clearly, she’d misunderstood Huang Yanchen, thinking that she wanted to go there. She didn’t know that both Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen had been forced by the situation.
Since Zhang Ruochen had already said those big words to the three heirs of the East Region Saint Mansion, he obviously had to bring Huang Yanchen to a higher position. Otherwise, he would be humiliating himself.
“You’re all wrong. You think that Lin Yue and Cousin Yanchen are only allies? You think that Lin Yue will leave her after bringing her to a higher position?” Chen Laner said.
A Monk in monastery clothing stood not far from Chen Laner and asked in return, “Lady, is that not so?”
The surrounding people all turned to stare at Chen Laner curiously.
She felt quite proud to get everyone’s attention. Shaking her head, she smiled. “Don’t you know that Lin Yue is only my cousin Yanchen’s guard? He’s only here to protect her and get a King Seat.”
Boom!
Chen Laner’s words caused a huge commotion. Everyone knew that, with Chen Laner’s status, she definitely wouldn’t insult Lin Yue. Thus, she must be speaking the truth.
A disciple of the Yin and Yang Sect who idolized Lin Yue couldn’t accept this truth. “Senior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue is so powerful. He has a chance even if he goes for the Heir’s seat. How can he be willing to be a woman’s guard? I can’t accept it.”
A talented girl from the East Region Saint Mansion said enviously, “Senior Sister Apprentice Yanchen is so lucky. Before, she had the legendary Zhang Ruochen protecting her. Now, she has the powerful Lin Yue who is willing to be her guard and help her to the King Seat. Why can’t I meet someone like that?”
Many people couldn’t understand Lin Yue’s actions. After all, he could get any girl he wanted with his talent.
If he said the word, there would be countless Saints and sects going up to him and giving him their most beautiful and talented girls. Why was he restricting himself to this one girl?
Of course, many of the girls present were envious of Huang Yanchen and supported Lin Yue’s actions. Every girl wished to have a talented man like Lin Yue who would give everything up just to protect her.
“That guy...is actually willing to be Huang Yanchen’s guard...”
Red Wish Emissary’s eyes were filled with jealousy. She gritted her silver teeth and murderous intent flared. It just felt like Huang Yanchen had stolen her protection.
If they weren’t on Scroll Mountain, she really would have wanted to kill Huang Yanchen and steal back Lin Yue.
There were nine Heir Seats at the top of Scroll Mountain. Only three were empty. The other six had been taken already.
Gai Tianjiao laughed from one of the seats. Staring at Xue Wuye, she said, “Xue Wuye, aren’t you pursuing Huang Yanchen, too? You think you can get a girl like that? You’re nothing compared to Junior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue. If I’m Huang Yanchen, I’d choose Lin Yue who does everything for me, not you.”
Xue Wuye wore his pure white robe and sat in another Kunlun Heir seat.
He touched his chin with a finger while gazing at Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen midway up the mountain. His lips curled into a smile. “I don’t believe that Lin Yue will sacrifice so much for a girl he’s only known for one month.”
“You can’t do it, but it doesn’t mean that others can’t,” Gai Tianjiao said. “At least Junior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue is doing what you think he can’t do.”
“I don’t want to argue with you,” Xue Wuye said.
“Heh, even if you don’t want to argue, people will find you a joke if you try to approach Huang Yanchen after this.”
Xue Wuye seemed not to hear Gai Tianjiao’s mocking voice. He was still as calm as ever. His eyes, brighter than the stars, were trained on Zhang Ruochen. He stared for a long while as if searching for something.
A moment later, a strange smile appeared on Xue Wuye’s face. “Has my opponent appeared?” he mumbled to himself.
His voice was very quiet. No one else could hear his words.
(Author’s note: there’s a lot of discussion over Huang Yanchen being the female lead. Let me say something! The female lead that I want to write isn’t the most beautiful with a perfect personality. This is more realistic.
Mu Lingxi, Yao Chi, Saint Lady...these female characters are all beautiful, have high statuses, are intelligent, and basically have no flaws. But in reality...you can’t find someone like that.
Of course, I haven’t chosen the female lead yet. After all, Mu Lingxi might be it. There’s also another character that can be the female lead. Please anticipate the rest of the story!)
