Chapter 110 - 109: The Six Princes

Chapter 110: Chapter 109: The Six PrincesThe next day. Early in the morning, the Emperor Immortal Sect was bustling with activity. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Especially at the Lie Tian Dao Field, the place was buzzing with voices. Many disciples had arrived early, waiting for the warm-up battle to begin. Although there was hardly any suspense in this battle, many disciples still showed up. They came here mainly to witness the competition for the position of chief disciple. They wanted to see what these new, young powerhouses who had just joined the Sect were like. After all, people like Yang Jinchun had only joined the Sect yesterday, so naturally, the members of the Emperor Immortal Sect were unfamiliar with them. However, the news of Yang Jinchun and others joining the Sect had already spread throughout the Emperor Immortal Sect. Yang Jinchun and his peers were of the Prince Level, and not just ordinary princes at that. The arrival of existences at such levels naturally drew a lot of attention. "Brother Yang is here!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly. A path split open in the crowd, and a group of people surrounded a young man in green clothes as he walked out. This young man in green had a friendly face and amiably greeted the surrounding disciples. The young man in green was none other than Wei Yungang’s disciple—Yang Jinchun! This man was the strongest among the six princes who had joined the Sect. In yesterday’s battle for disciples between Xuansheng Peak and Emperor Peak, he had been outstandingly superior, causing the other five to lose. Because of this, the disciples Yang Jinchun picked were the strongest from both Xuansheng Peak and Emperor Peak in the Divine Gate Realm. Many disciples had privately discussed Yang Jinchun, feeling that he was very likely to become the new chief disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect! Some compared Yang Jinchun with the former chief disciple, Leng Yifan, noting their strengths were on par. However, rumors said Yang Jinchun was kinder to fellow Sect members, though it was unclear if this was due to his recent joining or his true nature. In any case, he was much more likable than Leng Yifan. Yang Jinchun was undeniably the strongest competitor for the position of chief disciple! It wouldn’t be surprising if Yang Jinchun were to secure the position of chief disciple this time. "Brother Yang is so handsome!" Some female disciples swooned. "Tsk, you said the same thing about Brother Leng Yifan. When Brother Leng died, you quickly fell in love with someone else!" another disciple laughed. "What do you know, although Brother Leng Yifan was handsome, he betrayed the Sect and deserved to die. But Brother Yang joined our Sect despite the pressure, and besides being handsome, he’s definitely going to become the chief disciple!" the female disciple retorted. This statement left people speechless. However, it also showed that although Yang Jinchun had just joined the Emperor Immortal Sect, he had already gained considerable popularity within the Sect. That’s right, someone as handsome and powerful as Yang Jinchun was bound to be popular wherever he went. Yang Jinchun, sensing the lively atmosphere around him, smiled and, in a gentle demeanor, took a seat with the ten Divine Gate Realm disciples behind him. Among these ten Divine Gate Realm disciples, six were from Xuansheng Peak, and four were from Emperor Peak. Seven of them were at the Peak of the Divine Gate, and three were at the Ninth Layer. This lineup was arguably the strongest in the Divine Gate Realm. "Brother Huang is here!" At that moment, someone else called out. Once again, a path was made in the crowd. Suddenly, a broad-shouldered young man in fine clothes walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor slightly arrogant, followed by ten Divine Gate Realm disciples. Huang Nian, one of Yu Wenlei’s two disciples. This man was also a Prince with tremendous strength. In yesterday’s contest, he came in second, taking under his wing eight disciples of the Ninth Layer and two of the Peak of the Divine Gate. Compared to Yang Jinchun, however, Huang Nian’s popularity was not as high, and there was not much discussion in the crowd about him. Huang Nian didn’t mind; he silently took his place, seated himself, and closed his eyes to meditate. ’Just a bunch of followers, all of them. Wait until I take the position of chief disciple, then they’ll all come groveling at my feet!’ Huang Nian thought with a cold smirk. Although his lineup was slightly inferior to Yang Jinchun’s, he was not afraid. Because he had support; his junior fellow disciple Wen Lin would help him, and his master Yu Wenlei would provide strategies. He had a way to defeat Yang Jinchun. If it were a duel in person, he did admit he was slightly no match for Yang Jinchun. But this contest was different, pitting each other’s Divine Gate Realm disciples against each other. Without needing to fight personally, there shouldn’t be a big problem. "Brother Wen is here!" Soon, another refined young man arrived, dressed as if he were a scholar from a bygone era. This person was Wen Lin, Huang Nian’s junior brother and also a disciple of Master Wenlei. "Brother," Wen Lin greeted Huang Nian as soon as he arrived and sat down right next to him. "Ah, junior brother has arrived," Huang Nian, upon seeing Wen Lin come, opened his eyes and greeted him with a smile. The two began chatting as if no one else was there. Contrarily, Yang Jinchun, usually very popular, seemed quite isolated. "A fierce beast always walks alone; only sheep herd together," Yang Jinchun sneered secretly and didn’t care about this behavior. "Brother Liu Tianhao has come!" At that moment, another uproar broke through the crowd, parting to create an even wider path. Three young men arrived simultaneously, each followed by ten Divine Gate Realm disciples. Liu Tianhao, Xu Meng, and Zhang Dahai. These three, also brothers under the tutelage of Wind and Thunder Hand Nie Shan, walked together to Lie Tian’s arena with quite an imposing presence. "Brother Yang, Brother Huang, Brother Wen," Liu Tianhao greeted Yang Jinchun, Huang Nian, and Wen Lin respectively as he took the lead. "The three junior brothers," Yang Jinchun greeted with a fist and palm salute, smiling slightly, his face amiable. Huang Nian just gave a slight fist salute, acknowledging the greeting. Wen Lin, on the other hand, stood up to bow, very politely. Liu Tianhao, accustomed to Huang Nian’s attitude, didn’t take it to heart and took his seat. All six contenders for the position of chief disciple had now shown up. Now, only the current chief disciple, Ye Xuan, had not yet appeared. "That useless son-in-law certainly puts on quite the airs," Huang Nian couldn’t help but mock after some time had passed. "This guy was arrogant in the Emperor Great Hall before; I’ve disliked him for a while now," Xu Meng added, grumbling. All six of them had various degrees of grievances against Ye Xuan, whether because of Ye Xuan’s way of doing things or because of Youwei. "Ye Xuan is here!" At this moment, there was a stir at Lie Tian’s arena. Ye Xuan finally arrived! Ye Xuan, along with Tan Qingshan and Zhu Xiaofei and other ten disciples from Xuanyuan Peak, appeared at Lie Tian’s arena. He was indeed the center of attention. Following behind Ye Xuan, Tan Qingshan and others were a bit nervous. Ye Xuan had made very clear to them what they were facing this time. This was a warm-up battle for the fight twenty-four days later. It could also be considered as their doomed battle... For this reason, they were even more nervous. They themselves were from Xuanyuan Peak and would be regarded with skepticism. Participating in this doomed battle, they would gain nothing. Perhaps as Zhu Xiaofei said, the destined defeat would definitely humiliate Ye Xuan, allowing them to take their revenge. With these thoughts, winning became even less likely. As Ye Xuan and his followers arrived, the crowd automatically parted to allow Ye Xuan into the center of Lie Tian’s arena. Ye Xuan, hands in his pockets, strolled leisurely to the center of the arena, humming a tune and seemingly in a good mood. Ye Xuan’s indifferent demeanor truly made spectators shake their heads. "Choosing disciples from Xuanyuan Peak and still so confident, has Ye Xuan gone stupid again?" someone whispered with a chuckle. "Who cares, maybe this guy knows his worth doesn’t match the position and is deliberately stepping down from the chief disciple position. That’s not an issue," various discussions arose in the crowd. Suddenly, Ye Xuan with Tan Qingshan and the others reached the center of Lie Tian’s arena. Yang Jinchun, Huang Nian, and others looked toward Ye Xuan and when they saw Tan Qingshan, Zhu Xiaofei, and others behind him, they all showed a trace of a smirk. Is this a lineup they even dare to present? "Is everyone here? Then let’s start," Ye Xuan said as soon as he saw Yang Jinchun and others, not wasting time. "Who will go first?" Huang Nian asked with interest. "I’ll go first," Zhang Dahai grinned, stood up, looked at Ye Xuan, and said lightly, "To clean up this lineup, I, Zhang Dahai, am enough."
