Chapter 648: 645: Stirring up Conflict Again_1
When Yang Chen came out from backstage, he naturally noticed Zhang Huafeng at the side. He saw the figures leaving hastily, first with murderous intent and then without. Since he was smart, it was not difficult for him to guess the purpose of Zhang Huafeng.
However, Zhang Huafeng really underestimated him. When he sent only two Second Level True Martial Realm practitioners, did he really think that they could kill Yang Chen?
Of course, Yang Chen wouldn’t bring this up to Zhang Huafeng’s face since he had no evidence, so Zhang Huafeng could easily deny it.
At this moment, he asked seemingly curiously, “Brother Zhang, why do you look so troubled standing here? Your expression doesn’t seem too happy.”
“Yang Chen, I’m standing here, just very curious if you have enough Spirit Stones to exchange for that stick. You seem like a poor soul. Don’t hurt yourself by doing something foolish.” Zhang Huafeng said with a dark tone.
Yang Chen didn’t say anything, but disciples from the Green Lotus Sect who had good relationships with Yang Chen stood up and scolded, “Zhang Huafeng, who do you think you are? Daring to question Yang Chen? Poor? Do you think you have a lot of Spirit Stones? Yang Chen has already exchanged the item.”
“Exactly, Zhang Huafeng, if you are still unsatisfied, we, the Green Lotus Sect, can play with you!”
Zhang Huafeng listened to the disciples’ arguments, feeling furious and somewhat blaming himself for being stupid. How could Yang Chen, who was qualified to walk with the Green Lotus Sect, lack Spirit Stones? Would he be unable to exchange a mere stick?
Yang Chen just crossed his arms and said slowly, “Zhang Huafeng, I seem to recall that you told me that I would stop laughing soon and that you would take action against me within Huangsha City? When will Brother Zhang let me experience your skills?”
“You!” Zhang Huafeng gritted his teeth with anger, hearing Yang Chen repeating his words, and said with a flushed face, “Yang Chen, don’t slander me, when did I say that?”
Yang Chen knew that arguing further would be pointless. Zhang Huafeng was now like a clown, and saying anything more would be meaningless. So, Yang Chen prepared to leave the Yellow Sands Auction with the Green Lotus Sect.
However, when they arrived at the exit of the Yellow Sands Auction, they found that the exit was crowded. The main gate seemed to be blocked, and no one left.
Even the True Martial Main City, which had obtained the Silver Dragon Scissors and intended to leave the Yellow Sands Auction in a hurry, was stopped at the exit.
At this moment, there were countless discussions, and many forces couldn’t help but get agitated.
Yang Chen and the Green Lotus Sect also looked around when they arrived here.
Yang Chen’s soul swept through the crowd and saw a middle-aged man in a Huangsha Dao Robe standing at the exit of the Yellow Sands Auction. This middle-aged man was obviously a high-ranking member of Huangsha City and one of the persons in charge of the auction. He stood there, not knowing what his intention was.
“I say Mu Zhijiao, what does your Huangsha City mean? The auction is over, and you won’t let us leave the Yellow Sands Auction?!”
“Mu Zhijiao, what is the meaning behind Huangsha City’s actions?”
True Martial Main City was somewhat like a frightened bird at the moment. After obtaining the Silver Dragon Scissors, they just wanted to leave quickly and yelled, “Mu Zhijiao, what? Does your Huangsha City dare to stop even our True Martial Main City’s people? Do you want to start a war with our True Martial Main City?!”
The middle-aged man, called Mu Zhijiao, saw the commotion continue and kindly calmed everyone down: “Everyone, please calm down. Now that almost everyone has arrived, I’ll make an announcement. It’s not my intention to block you all here, but there are some reasons for it.”
Yang Chen and Li Ruoxiang were also curious, so they couldn’t help but quiet down and listen.
The friendly Mu Zhijiao smiled and said, “That’s it, our Huangsha City is going to open the Trial Tower and invite geniuses from various sects and major forces to compete in the Trial Tower. Since all the major forces are gathered here, naturally, it’s the perfect time for the competition.”
“Competition, how to compete?”
Yang Chen could see that Li Ruoxiang’s eyes lit up, showing great interest.
In the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, there were thirty-six main city forces, each with Trial Towers, but this did not apply to other sects. They didn’t have Trial Towers, including the members of the Black Dragon Sect.
Although the Black Dragon Sect could force their disciples to enter other sects’ Trial Towers by oppression, this was not a long-term solution. Would you go every day and lose face?
The Green Lotus Sect was no exception, and they also didn’t have access to trial towers like the main city forces.
Now it seemed that there was a chance, so it would be false to say she was not interested.
However, Yang Chen felt strange, why was Huangsha City so generous?
Their intentions must not be simple.
He knew that the major forces were not fools, and they all showed a guarded attitude, watching Mu Zhijiao closely, wondering what kind of scheme Huangsha City had in mind.
“It’s simple. Various forces can each send three Bright Members to represent their forces and participate in this competition. Whoever reaches the highest floor wins. In addition, we will also invite other martial artists to participate. Loose repairers can join by paying an entry fee of one Top-grade Spirit Stone, and compete in the Trial Tower! This is the time for everyone, as well as various forces, to make a name for themselves.” Mu Zhijiao said.
“We’re not interested!”
“That’s right, we’re not interested either.”
Several main city forces, such as the True Martial Main City, were not at all interested in this matter.
They already had a Trial Tower, which they could access daily, so they naturally wouldn’t be interested in this event.
Mu Zhijiao seemed to have anticipated this and kindly said, “Everyone, please don’t be hasty. Whoever wins the championship this time, our Huangsha City will offer a Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure as a prize, no less valuable than the Silver Dragon Scissors. Would you be interested in this treasure?”
Originally fiercely resistant and unwilling to cooperate, the True Martial Main City hesitated for a moment, and then coughed, “We have thought for a while, and we think Huangsha City is pretty good. We have decided to stay for two more days to have a look!”
They were joking; a treasure comparable to the Silver Dragon Scissors would be another Sect Ancestral Treasure.
