Chapter 372 - 332: Four Major Sects, Hear My Command!
At the Martial Arts Arena, there was sudden uproar, plunging it into chaos.
Before the preliminary matches, Qin Xuexiao suddenly jumped out and named a group of Moon Country spies, causing prolonged chaos on the scene.
But the shock of that moment was far less than this!
No one expected there would be such a continuation.
After all, the one who died that day was just an Outer Sect Steward.
Just a Steward, after all!
Even on the high platform, a great many were stunned.
The Great Cultivators from the other three Major Sects couldn’t help but focus their gaze on Nangong Yue and the others.
As for the Great Cultivators from the Moon Country, their faces were even uglier.
Even the elderly Moon Emperor sitting in the principal seat couldn’t help but exclaim, "Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
He should have been the most suitable person to prevent this matter.
Unfortunately, there are too many people under the arena.
It’s already become overwhelmingly chaotic.
There’s no way, Chu Huaixu’s recent actions have provoked widespread national outrage.
While Qin Xuexiao’s strength in the previous match was excessively formidable, showcasing his incredibly terrifying strength! A strength that subverts common understanding!
Moreover, this dead fox had actually arranged for accomplices hidden among the crowd...
In the shouts of tens of thousands, a large portion were still cursing him, while many were calling for the Heir of Prince Rui to teach him a lesson!
Slay this fiend!
Young Master, slay this fiend!!
Of course, there were also some more rational voices shouting:
"Pah! You’re not worthy!"
"Young Master, don’t bother with this mad dog!"
No many of the Moon Country people cared about the idea of revenge in Chu Huaixu’s words.
Often, especially between two countries, people only have positions, ignoring right or wrong.
Everyone already wished to have him killed.
A scene of popular outrage was reenacted.
Chu Huaixu, however, remained indifferent, simply pointing the Sword Scabbard at Qin Xuexiao, with eyes seemingly burning with fierce flames, staring at him intensely.
This is the simplest open strategy.
His image among Moon Country people had already deteriorated, repeatedly causing disturbances and angering the public.
You, noble as a Crown Prince, are now in your territory, even under the Emperor’s watch, about to participate in the competition for supremacy, every word and action representing the face of the Moon Country.
Everything was intended to push Qin Xuexiao so that he could not refuse the death duel.
If you still dare not, who knows how many people will point fingers at your spine.
Qin Xuexiao’s face instantly grew somber and heavy.
And among the crowd under the arena, a middle-aged woman stared tremulously at Chu Huaixu’s back.
Mo Qingmei listened to his words, her eyes instantly reddening but whispering softly, "Don’t, don’t..."
She wasn’t aware of the internal matters, still leaning towards an idealized approach.
What she wanted was justice in another form.
Not like today, where Chu Huaixu openly gambles with his life, taking risks!
"Senior Brother Niu, look, Senior Brother Niu..."
Two months ago, the blood of Niu Yuanshan was spilled beside the high platform.
On the platform, Cheng Yuyan abruptly closed his folding fan.
He had actually foreseen this, long since guessing when Chu Huaixu deliberately intensified conflicts, thereby stirring public sentiment.
Just watching with an intriguing look, wanting to see Chu Huaixu’s next move.
Meanwhile, the Moon Emperor tilted his body, sweeping his gaze over the Great Cultivators from Mirror Country.
In this situation, the Moon Country had already gained momentum, and no one could stop it!
But the Daoist Sect’s high ranks or the people from the other three Major Sects were suitable to prevent Chu Huaixu.
Yet among Mirror Country, none of the Four Great Sect’s cultivators spoke!
Qin Xuexiao stood below the arena, glaring angrily at Chu Huaixu looking down on him.
His previous words and the reactions of the surrounding tens of thousands had utterly stirred the young man’s blood, his fists clenched tightly.
Despite having the air of a hero, he remained a young man.
No matter how composed, he certainly possessed some fierceness.
But today is different; he clearly understood his words don’t count.
Even his grandfather on the high platform doesn’t count.
Because today’s competition for supremacy wasn’t meant for him to fight...
Both he and the Moon Emperor were waiting.
Until a mighty voice rang simultaneously in their minds.
Immediately, Qin Xuexiao landed firmly with his toes on the arena amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Moon Country people, jumping boldly onto the platform.
In front of all, before countless eyes, this Crown Prince dressed in a majestic purple robe lifted his left hand proudly.
He similarly drew a blood mark on his left palm.
Qin Xuexiao’s voice, like thunder, spread across the venue:
"Why wouldn’t I dare!!!"
As soon as the words fell, an even more intense wave of cheers swept through the arena.
The voices of tens of thousands converged, exuding an incredibly high spirit.
Chu Huaixu stood on the arena, surrounded by so many Moon Country people, disturbed by these voices, appearing lonely and small.
But he didn’t fear at all, his mindset unaffected.
On the contrary, a hint of sarcasm flickered at his brows and lips.
If not for the Emperor’s Divine Thought, you puny Qin Xuexiao, I’d kill you with a single hand!
Still, in public, exposing such arrogance in front of your Moon Country citizens is truly laughable!
Nevertheless, with both parties having entered into a death duel agreement, what’s to follow will be more than a simple arena contest.
If there’s any persistence, then a life-and-death outcome is a necessity!
In fact, the East and West Continent Competition has continued to this day, and death duels have appeared in history.
This is not surprising.
The world is never short of aggressive fighters.
According to the rules of the East and West Continent Competition, death is not allowed, but death duels are outside the rules.
However, this kind of Celestial Pride Level competition has never seen such phenomena.
Because the consequences are unbearable.
For the Major Sects, this is also a huge loss.
Moreover, now it’s the battle for the head, being able to stand here represents being the top figure among the peers in the Profound Yellow Realm!
This kind of death duel is unprecedentedly decisive!
Chu Huaixu’s move might even leave a significant mark in the history of the Profound Yellow Realm!
Moreover, the identities of these two individuals are extremely special.
One was previously referred to as the second Dao Ancestor, the other was recently called the reincarnation of the Ancestor Emperor.
The spectators below the stage felt their blood boiling.
At this time, there was still a short while before the scheduled time for the battle for the head.
On the high platform, among the seated Great Cultivators, everyone’s thoughts and feelings were perhaps different.
With different stances, come different thoughts.
But even the Female State Preceptor Lin Qingci felt that Chu Huaixu couldn’t win.
With the Ancestor Emperor personally possessing, in addition to the continuous national fortune...
This time, it’s unsolvable!!
Strangely, this bird in a cage actually felt some regret in such a situation.
"That day in the Emperor’s Pool, I should have given it to him."
The Sword Venerable, dressed as a middle-aged scholar, couldn’t help but speak at this moment: "Elder Jiang, this..."
He and Tian Luo of Luotian Valley also felt that Chu Huaixu had no chance of winning this competition.
Unless his opponent wasn’t the Ancestor Emperor, but just Qin Xuexiao.
"Let him be." Jiang Zhi said calmly.
People of the Daoist Sect have always regarded the Dao Ancestor’s Seal as a sidelong assessment of their fate.
It’s important to know that the sentence given to Chu Huaixu is full of clarity and justice in the world:
"[Nan Liujing breaks the heavy cloud barrier, cleansing the heavenly world of ten thousand miles]!"
Perhaps, among all the people present, only a few from the Daoist Sect have unconditional trust in him.
Only very few know more, believing that Chu Huaixu can win, rather than going to certain death.
But in such a situation where he wasn’t favored, what was Chu Huaixu thinking?
He had long been thinking about how to cut off all of Qin Xuexiao’s retreats?
It is said to be a death duel, but can it really proceed to the end like this?
Don’t forget, the main soul of the Emperor’s Divine Thought is still within him.
Moreover, he is currently the only "vessel" of the Ancestor Emperor.
Moon Country is still under the control of the Ancestor Emperor.
This old thing is determined to possess and be reborn, at any cost.
Reputation, dignity, national pride...
Ridiculous, this country was all created by his hands!
And up on the high platform are seated four Ninth Realm Great Cultivators of Moon Country.
Even if Jiang Zhi is as strong as the legends say, just the power of the Daoist Sect cannot stop them from saving someone.
Therefore, under the watchful gazes, this young man, surrounded by Moon Country people and thought by most to be defeated, suddenly raised his big hand, pulling something from his waist.
Almost everyone doubted him, yet he aimed to block all exits for his opponent!
Chu Huaixu raised high the item pulled from his waist.
It was a token.
Upon raising this token, all members of the Four Great Sects immediately stood up from their seats!
This is....
——[East Continent Order]!
Holding the token, Chu Huaixu declared loudly: "Those who hold the East Continent Order are those who have made unparalleled contributions to East Continent, and they gain the promise of the Four Great Sects!"
"Without breaching morality or the rules, they can let the Four Great Sects do one thing for them!"
The voice echoed throughout the arena, stunning everyone.
What is he going to do!
What on earth is he going to do!
"East Continent Order!"
"He actually uses the East Continent Order!"
The young man in the black and gold robe continued loudly:
"Today, I, Chu Huaixu, holding this order, ask only one thing from the Four Great Sects!"
"I want to ensure that this death duel agreement can proceed to the end, uninfluenced by any external forces! Until its conclusion!"
"To not only determine superiority but also decide life and death!"
"Never-ending until one perishes!!"
This declaration of never-ending until one perishes, like thunder emerging from a clear sky, displayed full murderous intent and hostility.
The Great Cultivators from the Four Great Sects on the high platform looked at each other, then unanimously nodded slightly.
As the eldest and highest in realm "Tian Luo", after seeing Sword Venerable and Mei Chuxue nod to him, he stepped forward and said aloud:
"This matter——"
"The Four Great Sects of East Continent have agreed!!"
