Chapter 604
In the Jiangning County City of Yangzhou, the people had just celebrated the Yearly Sacrifice . In the city, groups of two or three could be seen walking around or chatting in the teahouse by the street .
"It can't be fake . I just heard it in the restaurant . The Sovereign of the Heavenly God Palace sent duel challenges to the Emperor Yu's Hall, the Ying Family, and even the Xing Yi Sect of Yangzhou! What are the names of the other two? I don't remember . Anyway, Pei San challenged our Sovereign Teng and the other two . . . " The one speaking was the son of a wealthy family . The wealthy young man had pimples all over his face . He wobbled as he mumbled to the other hedonistic sons of wealthy families .
"He's right . I heard the same thing . " A handsome young man with very fair skin spoke with a tone that seemed to imply that he is the boss in this group . He continued saying, "Right now, there are six supreme sects in the Land of the Nine Prefectures . The Heavenly God Palace is powerful enough to destroy the Mani Temple, which it did . And now, Pei San had challenged Huang Tianqin of the Emperor Yu's Hall, Qin Shiqi of the Ying Family, and Teng Qingshan of the Xing Yi Sect . The three duels will respectively be on the 6th of December this year, the 12th of December in two years, and the 18th of December in five years . The location of the first duel will be on the Thousand Island Lake in Yuzhou . The second duel will be on the Green Dragon Hill in the Qinling Mountain Range in Yongzhou . The last duel will be on the White Horse Lake in Jiangning of Yangzhou . "
"Right . That's what I was about to say…" The wealthy young man, who had pimples on his face and looked slightly chubby, suddenly exclaimed, "Boss, you are right! That Huang . . . I forgot his name… Qin Shiqi, and our Sovereign Teng… Pei San is so brave . He actually dared to challenge our Sovereign Teng… Is he trying to die?"
"Third Brother, you are wrong . Pei San is the Sovereign of the Heavenly God Palace…" A wealthy young man, dressed in yellow, had just started talking when the wealthy young man with pimples on his face glowered and interrupted fiercely, "Sixth Brother, that's OUR Sovereign Teng! Our Sovereign Teng! Who the heck is Pei San? In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, who can win against our Sovereign Teng? Just you wait . When I generate the inner strength with the cultivation of the Internal Martial Art, I am going to join the Xing Yi Sect . It's my dream to meet Sovereign Teng . "
"Third Brother, you drank too much today . " The handsome young man burst out in laughter .
The wealthy young men continued walking around while chatting and laughing . The discussions about the duels could be heard in the teahouses, restaurants, weapon stores, and many other places .
"It seems like Pei San think that these three are the only ones worthy of being his opponent . "
These kinds of discussions could be heard everywhere on the streets .
"Of course! Currently, the four most powerful cultivators are Pei San of Qingzhou, Qin Shiqi of Yongzhou, Huang Tianqin of Yuzhou, and Teng Qingshan of our Yangzhou . "
. . .
Discussions and comments about it were just everywhere .
No one knew where the news about the duel of the current four most powerful cultivators came from… Everyone in the Land of the Nine Prefectures was just talking about it the next day . They even knew the names, location, date, time, and every little detail .
Teng Qingshan and his family were having a meal together in the East Flower Garden in the Xing Yi Sect .
"Who spread the news?" Honglin's face flushed red with rage . "Father, it seems like the whole world knows about it . "
"My dear sister, please remain seated . " Hongwu laughed and said calmly, "Why are you mad? Everyone knows that the Heavenly God Palace was the one that secretly spread the news, allowing the few billion citizens in the Land of the Nine Prefectures to find out about the three fights that will soon occur . "
"Correct . "
Teng Qingshan nodded and said with a smile, "Since the Xing Yi Sect, the Emperor Yu's Hall, and the Ying Family had no idea that there were also other individuals who were challenged to a duel and considering that the news contained such detailed information, the Heavenly God Palace must have spread the news . It is the only sect that knows about everything . I did not know where the other two were fighting and only found out through the news . "
"The 16th of December this year, on the Thousand Island Lake in Yuzhou . "
"The 12th of December in two years, the Green Dragon Mountain in the Qinling Mountain Range in Yongzhou . "
"18th of December in five years, the White Horse Lake in the Yi City of Yangzhou .
"The people whom Pei San had chosen were the Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts in the Land of the Nine Prefectures . We are probably the only four Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts in the Land of the Nine Prefectures . " Teng Qingshan was well aware of the powerful forces in the Land of the Nine Prefectures . After all, the intelligence agency of the Xing Yi Sect had grown to become quite powerful .
Through the intelligence agency, Teng Qingshan found out that Pei San and Pei Hao used to be part of the Wan Xiang Sect! Initially, the Pei Clan was a family that was part of the Wan Xiang Sect .
However, because of Pei San, the Pei Family had to leave the Wan Xiang Sect .
After all, the Wan Xiang Sect had promised to never contend for hegemony .
This allowed Teng Qingshan to understand how Pei San was able to rise so mysteriously and secretly . Wan Xiang Sect had been helping Pei San secretly . Although Wan Xiang Sect could not contend for hegemony, it could provide some support .
"Father, who is the strongest?" Honglin could not help but ask .
"Pei San should be the strongest…" Teng Qingshan pondered and answered, "I am not sure how strong Qin Shiqi is, but he should be almost as strong as Pei San . I think I am the third most powerful and the weakest one should be Huang Tianqin . "
"Hongwu hastily said, "Father, if Pei San is the strongest, your fight with Pei San…"
Teng Qingshan interrupted with a smile, "Don't worry . We still have six years . Pei San is smart . He was worried that we might hide and avoid fighting with him, and so, he spread the news . He wanted the entire land to know about the duels so that we three will have no choice but to fight him . Once everyone knew, we would no longer represent ourselves, but would only represent our own sect . If I chose not to show up for the duel, it will bring shame to the Xing Yi Sect and even Yangzhou . These are things the other two would have to think about . . . " Teng Qingshan knew well that Pei San was using the billions of people to force them to accept the duel .
Li Jun said softly with a worried expression, 'Qingshan, this fight with Pei San…"
"I kind of know what Pei San is trying to do . " Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "Pei San went berserk when he was destroying the Mani Temple . I guessed Pei San must have resented the Mani Temple . After the destruction of the Mani Temple, Pei San's state of mind must have changed… Half a year after the elimination of the Mani Temple, Pei San must have figured something out or understood something . And so, he decided to challenge me and the other two Insightful Emptiness Ream Experts . "
"He specially arranged the sequence of the duels too . " Teng Qingshan said with a smile .
