"Oh? Isn’t this Elder Yang Yi?"
Chen Yu glanced at the middle-aged man in the red robe.
Back then, it was this elder from the Yang Family who brought him to the main world.
Later, when Chen Yu left here for the Chaotic Sea Plain, Elder Yang Yi even sent Yang Wuhai and others to ambush Chen Yu, but in the end, they were completely defeated.
Yang Yi recognized Chen Yu, his most cherished disciple "Yang Lingjie" was killed by Chen Yu, and this murderer still dared to return here.
Not only Elder Yang Yi, but the top members and some elite clansmen of the five families present also slowly recognized Chen Yu.
A painful memory of humiliation resurfaced in their minds.
During the Five Mountains Martial Arts Tournament, the five families competed for the precious slots to enter the Eight Great Emperor Sects, showcasing talents like Xu Liusu, He Tianxiong, Wu Yuan, Yang Dingguang, Chang Yuya, and others.
"You brat, you actually have the guts to come back!"
The Xu Family Patriarch stood up.
Among the five families, the Xu family was the most powerful, and the Family Head dearly loved his son "Xu Liusu".
Yet, in the Five Mountains Martial Arts Tournament, the Xu family’s top talent "Xu Liusu" was robbed twice by Chen Yu, leaving psychological scars that pained his father.
"Chen Yu, you killed my disciple ’He Tianxiong’, today I shall take your head to avenge him."
An old, portly man from the He family stood up.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the Wu family also voiced their condemnation of Chen Yu.
Judging by the looks of it, apart from the Chang family, the five families planned to join hands to take down Chen Yu.
The top members of the Chang family, however, were drenched in cold sweat; Chen Yu was so universally hated that his mere appearance made the four families forget their differences and the ongoing competition, uniting against him.
"Everyone, don’t be impulsive. Are you sure you want to make a move against me?"
Seeing the grand momentum of the four families, Chen Yu couldn’t help but find it amusing.
"Gentlemen, are you intending to attack a disciple of the Eight Great Emperor Sects?"
A white-haired elder from the Chang family stood on Chen Yu’s side.
In her view, Chen Yu must have entered the Eight Great Emperor Sects.
"Just because a disciple of the Eight Great Emperor Sects commits a wrongdoing, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be punished. Besides, our families also have disciples in the Emperor Sects."
Elder Yang Yi angrily rebuked.
The grievances between them and Chen Yu were clear, and the fault lay with Chen Yu, so they had every reason to attack Chen Yu.
The Yang family harbored the deepest animosity towards Chen Yu; they hadn’t managed to purchase a slot from him back then and had to pay a significantly higher price to buy one from the Xu family.
The top members of the Chang family were powerless; they ranked last among the five families, and how could they withstand the combined force of the other four families?
Chen Yu chuckled. Even if he didn’t reveal his identity, in terms of strength, he had nothing to fear from the four families.
If it truly came down to a fight, it was the four families who would suffer.
"Chen Yu, prepare to die!"
The surging elemental energy within Elder Yang Yi burst forth, a burning golden flame, making him appear like a blazing sun, illuminating everything.
The other four families were unwilling to make the first move, so he chose to be the "spearhead".
Aside from the five families present, there was another faction responsible for monitoring the event.
"What is going on here?"
An overseeing elder of the Du family was surprised by the scene before him.
The Du family was a four-star force, with an Emperor of the Xuanming Realm sitting in their clan, and this time they were tasked by the higher-ups to organize a support team for the Great Yu Realm.
"Elder, just now a young man named ’Chen Yu’ arrived, inciting the four families into a furious rage, eager to bring him down immediately, they seem to harbor a deep-seated grudge against him."
A man beside Elder Du said, seemingly entertained by the situation.
The martial arts competition between the five families was a bit dull, but the imminent chaotic brawl was far more interesting.
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu..."
Elder Du repeated the name several times, finding it very familiar.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stood up directly.
"Stop, what do you think you’re doing?"
Elder Du shouted angrily, an intangible wave of sound surging up, drowning out all other noises.
"Elder Du Shen, this is a private grudge between several families and Chen Yu, it will be resolved quickly and won’t delay the competition."
Yang Yi explained, about to make a move.
Elder Du sternly rebuked Yang Yi, his imposing presence descending, suppressing Yang Yi’s elemental energy within him.
Yang Yi looked at Du Shen in disbelief.
Even though the Du family was stronger than any individual family present, this was their private matter, and Du Shen’s forceful intervention seemed too overbearing.
The Xu family, He family, and Wu family also halted, gazing at Elder Du Shen.
"I am here to oversee your martial competition, not to watch you create a racket. All of you, sit down properly."
Elder Du Shen, with a strict and cold demeanor, reprimanded the four families.
Under usual circumstances, the four families would at least retort, but at this moment, they dared not.
The allocation of slots to support the Great Yu Realm was decided by the Du family, and whoever angered them might have all the slots given away, which would be a tragedy.
Elder Yang Yi gritted his teeth and sat back down. .
"Elder Yang Yi, stay calm. The monk can run, but the temple can’t. When the competition is over, that brat won’t escape."
A brewing storm thus quieted.
"Guest Chen, you should leave quickly. Once the martial competition ends, the other four families won’t let you off." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
The white-haired elder of the Chang family advised.
Chen Yu didn’t care, he joined the Chang family camp, sat down calmly, and picked up a snack to eat.
The Chang Family’s upper echelon was quite surprised; it seemed Chen Yu truly wasn’t afraid of the four families, perhaps he had some trump card.
Could it be the Du Family? Did Chen Yu have ties with the Du Family? Which is why Elder Du Shen just stopped the four families.
The martial arts tournament began.
First, the Xu Family and He Family sent their representatives to the stage, with both sides dispatching members at the early stage of the Condensed Star Realm.
Two family disciples ascended the martial stage and immediately engaged in fierce combat.
The tournament was not only about deciding the slots but also a chance to showcase family prestige and strike at other families.
Chen Yu glanced over a few times, recalling when he first arrived in the main world, that was the level he was at.
At this moment, a voice echoed in Chen Yu’s mind.
"Lord Chen Yu, may I ask which force you come from?"
The one transmitting the voice was Du Shen.
Chen Yu, this name only spread over the past few years.
Du Shen didn’t know if this Chen Yu before him was the rumored Chen Yu.
Chen Yu asked with a smile.
He wasn’t someone fond of boasting; there was no need to tell the whole world he was a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect wherever he went.
However, Du Shen had just helped him out, perhaps he already knew his identity.
"You are from... the Heavenly Martial Sect?"
Du Shen boldly speculated.
"You have quite an eye for things."
Chen Yu stated calmly.
Upon receiving the answer, Du Shen became both excited and apprehensive.
This person before him was none other than the genius disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect, reportedly under the tutelage of the Sky Martial Sect Master, and ranked high on the Heavenly Martial List.
In fact, Chen Yu had already reached first place, but the news hadn’t spread so quickly, nor was it easy to reach this remote area.
"Not at all, Young Master Chen, your praise is too much. For a distinguished figure like you, if I couldn’t recognize you, I would truly be wasting these eyes of mine."
Du Shen’s attitude transformed drastically, and he immediately began to flatter him.
Meanwhile, he wondered, those from the Yang, Xu, He, and Wu Families truly lacked discernment, daring to offend the elite of the Heavenly Martial Sect; they were truly courting death.
"I wonder what brings Young Master Chen here, if I may ask?"
For a genius of the Heavenly Martial Sect like Chen Yu, what reason could he have to come to such a low place without purpose?
"There should be a group setting off for the Great Yu Realm around here soon, correct?"
Du Shen was extremely excited; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu’s purpose in coming was related to the Du Family.
He immediately transmitted, "That’s right, our Du Family is responsible for that. Young Master Chen can have as many slots as you want."
"Hmm, just count me in when the time comes."
After replying, Chen Yu no longer bothered with Du Shen.
"Elder Du, what’s going on?"
A family member next to Du Shen, seeing him grinning to himself, asked rather curiously.
Regaining his composure, Du Shen replied, "It’s nothing."
A slot to the Great Yu Realm was utterly worthless, not even worth paying for.
This time, by doing Chen Yu a favor, the Du Family truly benefited greatly.
"Elder, we don’t need to offend the four families for an outsider we don’t even know, even if our Du Family doesn’t fear them."
This person continued, clearly feeling that Du Shen’s earlier actions were unwise.
"This matter, I shall handle, you needn’t concern yourself."
Du Shen stated with a stern face.
Luckily, he had intervened, or they would have missed Chen Yu, this grand figure.
Chen Yu didn’t reveal his identity, so Du Shen wisely refrained from announcing it, avoiding displeasing Chen Yu.
Match after match continued.
The Xu Family won three times, while the He, Yang, and Wu Families each won twice, and the Chang Family won once.
"With today’s results combined with the previous two events, the rankings are Xu Family first, Wu Family second, Yang Family third, He Family fourth, and Chang Family fifth."
Du Shen announced the results.
The Chang Family’s upper echelon bowed their heads in regret.
This time, they had to send four Condensed Star Elders to the Great Yu Realm, weakening the family force further.
"Ah, Yu Ya, the hope for the family’s future rests on you."
The white-haired elder said to Chang Yuya.
"Hahaha, congratulations to the Chang Family."
The Yang Family Master laughed, a slight sneer on his face.
Suddenly, Chen Yu stood up, followed immediately by Yang Yi and the other high-ups, all staring at Chen Yu, as the tournament had ended, they couldn’t let Chen Yu escape.
"Fifth place for the Chang Family, for this time’s three slots, they belong to..."
Du Shen continued, about to announce the allocation.
At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly interjected, "They belong to the Yang Family."
Silence fell over the crowd.
The Yang Family’s upper echelon was stunned for a moment, then the Family Master immediately yelled, "Chen Yu, stop spouting nonsense!"
"Elder Du Shen, this miscreant is talking wildly, offending you; let us deal with him."
Elder Yang Yi seized the opportunity to say.
The He, Xu, and Wu Family high-ups each delighted in their misfortune, as Elder Du Shen had just assisted Chen Yu, yet now Chen Yu was recklessly offending Elder Du Shen, as if courting death.
The four families were greatly satisfied in their hearts.
Yet Elder Du Shen suddenly spoke, "Young Master Chen is right, the slots belong to the Yang Family."
With those words, the entire venue was shocked, the Yang Family’s upper members were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
