Chapter 427 - 427 358 Decimating Yun Han (5k Mega Chapter)

Chapter 427: Chapter 358: Decimating Yun Han (5k Mega Chapter) Chapter 427: Chapter 358: Decimating Yun Han (5k Mega Chapter) The location chosen for the Divine Weapon Conference was a very spacious training ground, a high platform paved with blue stones, reflecting the affluence of Hidden Soldier Valley.

There were many attendees, the sum of Gang Condensing Martial Artists and Foundation Establishment Martial Artists alone was over a hundred, and adding the disciples of Hidden Soldier Valley made it a sea of people at first glance.

Each Reach Profound Martial Artist seated themselves in the higher seats, with Han Yu and another unfamiliar Reach Profound Martial Artist sitting next to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan’s target, Yun Han, was seated at the furthest spot from him, but even so, it couldn’t block the faintly clashing aura of killing intent between them.

The still-charming Lady Xu stood below, seemingly inconspicuous yet actually one of the focal points of the arena, with many eyes gliding past her.

Her appearance was similar to the previous day, still in a plain black dress and slightly coiffured long hair, her face still covered with a black veil, invigorating curiosity to explore the grace hidden underneath it.

Ouyang Tuo’s face was gloomy as he exchanged a few words casually with Yun Han.

“Dong dong dong…”

With the sound of three drum beats, the hour arrived.

It was Ouyang Zhi’s first appearance on the platform as the Valley Master of Hidden Soldier Valley, and at this moment, he felt rather spirited, the only sore sight being Ouyang Tuo.

Thinking this, he subconsciously glanced at the melancholic elder below.

Ouyang Zhi scanned the martial artists below and said in a deep voice,

“Thank you all from Jianghu for attending….”

His voice was robust and commanding as he exchanged a few perfunctory remarks, firstly establishing his status by mentioning that he had just inherited his father’s ambition and ascended as the Valley Master, needing the love from his peers in Jianghu.

Then, he began to speak about the Divine Weapon Conference.

The rules were actually quite simple and not overly complicated, Hidden Soldier Valley would present three Spiritual Weapons as prizes to be contested by the martial artists, with the victor claiming them regardless of life or death in the contest.

Of course, mainly aiming at the high-level practitioners of the Reach Profound Level, as for those below that level, they would not even dare to step up.

But most of them weren’t here for this.

Apart from watching the lively event, their main purpose was actually for the batch of Treasure Weapons promoted by Hidden Soldier Valley.

After all, they were being sold at a low price, and acquiring them would surely mean no loss and could even earn a small profit….

“Brother Chen, you must be careful later,”

Han Yu whispered.

“No worries, but Brother Han should be more cautious if he intends to contest for that Spirit Sword…” Chen Yuan spoke earnestly, already decided that he and Yun Han would contest for that Spiritual Sword.

The rest, as long as they weren’t foolish, surely wouldn’t dare to step up.

But the remaining two could not be assured, with more than ten Reach Profound Martial Artists present, it was bound to be a very fierce competition.

“Han understands.”

“Speaking of which, we are acquainted, but I still don’t know much about Brother Han. Can you tell me now?” Chen Yuan looked straight ahead at Ouyang Zhi,

but his mind was on Han Yu.

Han Yu hesitated for a moment, not making a sound initially.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan said lightly,

“If Brother Han is reluctant to say more, just consider that I never asked.”

“It’s not that I’m reluctant to say, but my background is… profound, and I’m afraid it might implicate Brother Chen.”

“No matter, I’m just listening, what harm could it do?”

He surely had no interest in inheriting any enmity, but listening wouldn’t be an issue; of course, if the other person was unwilling to elaborate, he wouldn’t ask further.

“It mustn’t be, but not to hide from Brother Chen, I actually come from Blood State, originally a disciple of a minor sect, but after my sect attracted a formidable enemy leading to its destruction, I had no choice but to change my name and enter Qing and Shu states.”

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, generally, this was the heroic journey of a protagonist, this Han Yu… quite interesting.

“Have you thought about revenge?”

“Naturally, I have thought about it, but my current strength is far too weak for that goal.”

“Then have you thought about finding a strong backing?”

“I’ve grown accustomed to drifting; for now…” Han Yu was saying when he suddenly paused, lowering his voice,

“What do you imply, Brother Chen?”

“Just as it sounds. I see you as something out of the ordinary, why not join me? Resources will definitely be supplied fully, and revenge might not be impossible.”

Chen Yuan wasn’t overly persuasive; instead, his tone remained calm, as if discussing a trivial matter, yet it exuded a strong confidence.

“This… Brother Chen, the official career at court…” Han Yu had some concerns.

He was unwilling to enter the bureaucratic hierarchy of the court, and with his strength and background, at best, he would mix in for a few years and be appointed a position as Green Envoy, a mostly futile endeavor.

“Who said following Chen entails joining the court?”

“Hmm?” Han Yu’s interest was piqued, seemingly grasping something.

“I have some establishments in Tangshan Prefecture; if Brother Han is willing, he may join. If not, we still remain friends.”

“May I consider this for a few days?”

“Sure, there’s no hurry.”

Chen Yuan didn’t perceive anything unusual, although he now had some reputation, it certainly wasn’t enough to make a martial artist of the same realm rush to pledge allegiance; that would be unrealistic.

As the two conversed, Ouyang Zhi had also finished his pleasantries on stage, then clapped his hands, and three disciples of Hidden Soldier Valley brought forward trays, placing the three Spiritual Weapons aside.

Ouyang Zhi spoke out loudly,

“The Divine Weapon Conference hereby begins, if any brethren are interested, feel free to come forth and compete, the first item, the Spiritual Water Sword!”
