Chapter 906 Challenge Letter (1/2)
For the other factions, although the unyielding manner in which the Tianyuan Region accepted the challenge appeared quite impressive, some of the sharper individuals felt that it was a rash decision. After all, in a manner of speaking, their acceptance was equivalent to using one’s weakness to attack an opponent’s strong suit.
The Tri-Mountain Alliance was clearly prepared and confident in Chen Xuandong. His ranking on the Divine Dwelling List also surpassed Zhou Yuan’s. To be blunt, Lu Xiao likely did not have the qualifications to face Chen Xuandong, so even though Zhou Yuan had defeated Lu Xiao, Zhou Yuan likewise did not have the qualifications either.
Once Zhou Yuan lost the battle, the Tianyuan Region would lose a massive amount of face.
Placing the reputation of a region on a single Divine Dwelling stage practitioner was not very wise.
Moreover, chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan had delayed the fight by a month, which made him appear lacking in confidence. Was he hoping for some breakthrough at the final moment? It was said that the chief pavilion master had only unlocked seven Divine Dwellings so far. Although his potential would turn into true strength when he unlocked the final two Divine Dwellings and no longer needed to fear Chen Xuandong, time waited for no man.
Others would not foolishly wait for you to grow up before challenging you.
Of course, there were naturally some voices supporting the decision. They felt that the Tianyuan Region was confident since they had dared to accept the challenge. As for which new dark horse was stronger, one would only know the answer once Chen Xuandong and Zhou Yuan clashed!
However, the voices in support were the minority. After all, Zhou Yuan’s ranking on the Divine Dwelling List was lower than Chen Xuandong’s, and the Divine Dwelling List had always been very accurate.
When the Tianyuan Region’s conditions for accepting the challenge entered the Tri-Mountain Alliance’s ears, the super dark horse Chen Xuandong immediately responded with two simple words.
“Ready anytime.”
Simple and confident.
...
The four pavilions were likewise in an uproar due to the matter. However, in the face of an external threat, everyone, even the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples, temporarily put aside their differences to stand against the common enemy. After all, everyone understood that Zhou Yuan was currently the leader of their generation of Divine Dwelling stage practitioners.
If he lost to Chen Xuandong, it would be a tremendous blow to their reputation.
Thus, even the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples did not wish to see Zhou Yuan defeated.
The chief pavilion building.
Yi Qiushui’s and Ye Bingling’s expressions were somewhat grave as they gazed at the crazy ruckus outside. After a long time, Ye Bingling asked in a low voice, “Where’s Zhou Yuan?”
“He’s been in secluded cultivation for the past two months.” Yi Qiushui sighed softly. She never imagined that Zhou Yuan would receive such a dangerous challenge so quickly after assuming the chief pavilion master position. Chen Xuandong was far more dangerous than Lu Xiao.
Ye Bingling gritted her teeth and said, “The Tri-Mountain Alliance is going more and more overboard.”
A top-tier faction challenging one of the nine regions was honestly very rare in Hunyuan Heaven. Hence, the members of the Tianyuan Region felt both offended and angered.
“What did Zhou Yuan say? I heard he accepted the challenge on his own accord?” Worry tinged Ye Bingling’s voice.
Although the Tri-Mountain Alliance was loathsome, their ploy was indeed too cunning. After all, if both sides were to fight, the Tianyuan Region would not fear the Tri-Mountain Alliance in terms of Law Domain stage or Nascent Source stage numbers. However, the Tri-Mountain Alliance just had to jab them in their weakness: the Divine Dwelling stage.
With regards to the Divine Dwelling stage, even members of the Tianyuan Region had no choice but to admit that they had not done well over the past few years.
