Chapter 625: Chapter 622: Black Scorpion Envoy’s Explanation_1

His words were filled with anger, but the message was clear.

How could Yang Chen not understand Fu Longyue’s meaning? So, only your Black Dragon Sect wanted to kill me and I’m not allowed to fight back? Haha, what kind of logic is that! He, Yang Chen, doesn’t buy into that!

Of course, he also knew clearly that with his current strength, he couldn’t confront the Black Dragon Sect head-on, nor could he disrespect Longyue. If he behaved respectfully, Fu Longyue would have no reason to deal with him. But if he showed a bad attitude, then Fu Longyue would be justified in teaching him a lesson.

At that time, Beishan Main City wouldn’t be able to intervene.

So, Yang Chen bowed directly and said calmly, “Senior Fu, in this ring competition, accidents can happen, which I believe you can understand. I didn’t do it on purpose. As the Sect Leader of such a prestigious sect, you should understand the rules better than I do.”

Fu Longyue, listening to these words, had veins throbbing on his forehead, wishing he could kill Yang Chen on the spot.

But he didn’t.

He knew that if he did, it would inevitably incite the anger of other factions.

If the Black Dragon Sect couldn’t even accept such a loss, what’s the point of hosting the banquet?

But he truly couldn’t accept the loss!

It’s just that while he couldn’t accept it, Fu Longyue had no way to vent his anger.

He never thought that his Black Dragon Sect’s lifelong reputation would be tarnished by this young kid today.

“Fine, very good. Yang Chen, my friend, you’re right, accidents can happen!” Fu Longyue sneered, not saying anything more.

This made the Black Dragon Sect’s other high-level members who had been tense breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Yang Chen’s gaze fell on Lady Silver Bell, and he smiled amiably, “Senior Silver Bell, can the result be announced now?”

Although Silver Bell Madam was reluctant a thousand times over, the outcome was clear at this point, so she had nothing to say. She could only announce it resentfully and painfully, “Yang Chen wins the martial arts competition and takes the first place in this tournament!”

Although this martial arts competition seemed to be held impromptu and was not as formal as other faction events, the significance was extraordinary since everyone knew that the person who got the first place would earn the title of the Eastern Number One Genius!

Yang Chen defeated Luo Yunhu and successfully obtained the title of Eastern Number One Genius!

The people of Beishan Main City could hardly believe it.

Especially Mo Wu, who had never even thought that far. He believed that Yang Chen could help them regain their prestige in Beishan Main City, but becoming the first place in two consecutive stages and second place in one stage was beyond his expectations.

This ranking even overshadowed the Black Dragon Sect.

Mo Wu didn’t know whether to be happy or not.

He was happy that Beishan Main City finally had something to be proud of, but unhappy because they had offended the Black Dragon Sect this time.

Of course, he was not afraid of the Black Dragon Sect’s revenge either. If something happened to Beishan Main City, everyone would think of the Black Dragon Sect first. The Black Dragon Sect wouldn’t do something that would cause trouble for themselves. If they really targeted Beishan Main City, it would only show that they were being petty!

However, Yang Chen was in trouble…

After all, he had crippled Luo Yunhu’s arm.

While Mo Wu was lost in thought, Yang Chen stepped down from the stage.

At this time, the geniuses of Beishan Main City were immersed in cheers, surrounding Yang Chen in excitement.

“Junior Brother Yang Chen, well done!”

“Junior Brother Yang Chen, you’re absolutely outstanding.”

In an instant, Yang Chen became the center of attention.

Everyone knew that Yang Chen’s name would become famous in the entire Thirty-six Eastern Counties that day, and everyone would know him.

The new generation of the Eastern Number One Genius was born.

At the same time, on the high platform, Fu Longyue, the Sect Leader of the Black Dragon Sect, was undoubtedly furious. Surely, Luo Yunhu was a genius they had invested countless resources and treasures to cultivate. So much so that he even used the Eight Gates Profound Artifact, which showed how much he valued this victory and Luo Yunhu.

However, Luo Yunhu lost and was crippled.

Such a result was not what he wanted to see.

It was a humiliation, a slap in the face for their Black Dragon Sect.

Gradually, Fu Longyue calmed down, and as he pondered, he felt that something was off.

At this time, he looked around, his face somber and said, “When Yang Chen challenged Xiao Wei, I thought it was because Xiao Wei provoked him and Yang Chen wanted to rise in rank, rather than Yang Chen deliberately targeting Xiao Wei. Since he has this means, he doesn’t need to defeat Xiao Wei to advance. So, can anyone tell me why Yang Chen has such a hatred towards our Black Dragon Sect?”

Indeed.

At first, he didn’t care, he merely thought Yang Chen was challenging Xiao Wei to rise in rank.

The root cause of all their grievances with Yang Chen actually started with Xiao Wei. If it weren’t for Yang Chen defeating Xiao Wei, Fu Longyue wouldn’t have targeted Yang Chen. And Yang Chen wouldn’t have held such a grudge against the Black Dragon Sect and, in the end, crippled Luo Yunhu!

All conflicts originated from Xiao Wei!

He couldn’t understand why Yang Chen would challenge Xiao Wei, and the only explanation was that Yang Chen and Xiao Wei had a feud!

So, Fu Longyue angrily asked at that moment, “Who can tell me what grudge Yang Chen and Xiao Wei have that made Yang Chen go against our Black Dragon Sect despite knowing it would anger us?”

The high-level members of the Black Dragon Sect fell silent at this moment, while the Black Scorpion Envoy trembled, filled with guilt.

How could he not feel guilty?

Others didn’t know, but how could he not know the reason why Yang Chen harbored such hatred towards Xiao Wei? Because Xiao Wei was his disciple, and he, the Black Scorpion Envoy, almost killed Yang Chen back then!

Fu Longyue was no fool; on the contrary, he was very shrewd. He was excellent at investigating the truth through clues.

At this moment, Fu Longyue narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the Black Scorpion Envoy, “Black Scorpion Envoy, it seems you know something about this? Indeed, you’ve been to Beishan County. Don’t tell me that Yang Chen’s resentment towards Xiao Wei and you is unrelated. Tell me the details!”

Where did the Black Scorpion Envoy dare to conceal the truth? He hurriedly explained the enmity between himself and Yang Chen.

He thought that since Yang Chen killed their Black Dragon Sect’s genius, Yu Feilong, their Sect Leader shouldn’t blame him.

“Sect Leader, every word I said is true. It’s Yang Chen who killed Yu Feilong, so I wanted to kill him. The reason Yang Chen hates the Black Dragon Sect today has nothing to do with me.” The Black Scorpion Envoy, fearing punishment, pushed away all responsibilities.
