Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Treating Me Like a Sick Cat?

"Now, let us welcome the disciples from the Top Ten Famous Peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect to the stage!"

On Asura Square, Zhen Xia spoke with a smile on his face.

As soon as his voice fell,

the disciples from Henglian Peak, Star Fire Peak, Asura Peak, and the other famous peaks all made their way to the center of Asura Square.

They formed ten formations.

In the Henglian Peak formation, Sha Xian, who had previously made a move against Qee Feizhou and the other Thousand Bamboo Peak disciples, was conspicuously present.

Among the Asura Peak formation, the strongest disciples, Zhai Tianhao, along with Geng Zian and Chai Hui, were also present.

Seeing the disciples from the Top Ten Famous Peaks step out,

Asura Square immediately became incredibly noisy.

Various major forces, including other mountains from the Hundred Peaks Sect, began to discuss animatedly.

"Is that Zhai Tianhao? He indeed looks like a man of distinction!"

"Also, Geng Zian and Chai Hui, those two are not weak either, and they both belong to Asura Peak."

"This year, the disciples of Asura Peak have truly become stronger, like the midday sun waxing stronger."

Most of the attention from these forces was focused on the Asura Peak,

and the trio of Zhai Tianhao, Geng Zian, and Chai Hui were their subjects of keen interest.

From their seats,

Zhai Luo wore a smile, tinged with a hint of pride.

Clearly,

he felt a great sense of achievement hearing others discuss the disciples of Asura Peak in such a manner.

"Senior Brother Sha, people from the Thousand Bamboo Peak have actually come!"

At that moment,

in the Henglian Peak formation, a disciple inadvertently saw Qin Chen and others, and he shouted in surprise.

"What?"

Sha Xian’s expression froze upon hearing this.

Then,

he followed the direction pointed by the Henglian Peak disciple and looked over.

Just then, his gaze collided with Qin Chen’s.

Seeing that Qin Chen also looked over,

a trace of disdain appeared in Sha Xian’s eyes.

Although Qin Chen did not know who the other party was,

feeling the meaning behind the other’s gaze, Qin Chen’s eyes also flickered with a hint of coldness.

"I didn’t expect that not only the disciples from Thousand Bamboo Peak are here, but Jiang Bairen is also here!"

"In that case, how could I, Sha Xian, miss this opportunity?"

A sneer curled on Sha Xian’s lips,

and a plan began to brew in his heart.

The participants from the Top Ten Famous Peaks had all entered the arena.

It was time for Zhen Xia to announce the official start of the competition.

Just then,

a voice came from the Henglian Peak formation.

"Elder Zhen, disciple Sha Xian of Henglian Peak has a suggestion before the official start of the competition."

Sha Xian addressed Zhen Xia with a bow.

A sinister smile flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing Sha Xian suddenly stepping forward, Zhen Xia’s expression changed.

Obviously,

such an unexpected event was not supposed to disrupt the proceedings, and Sha Xian’s sudden appearance clearly disturbed the planned rhythm.

However,

since Sha Xian had spoken, Zhen Xia couldn’t simply tell him to shut up.

Thus, he was forced to squeeze out a smile and asked, "What suggestion?"

"Today is a crucial day, the annual competition for spots in the Asura Ancestral Land of the Hundred Peaks Sect."

"On such a day, I have a suggestion. Before the competition commences, let’s have an appetizer. What do you think, Elder Zhen?"

Sha Xian said with a smile.

Hearing Sha Xian’s words,

Qee Feizhou and the others’ expressions darkened.

At this moment, they all had a bad premonition.

In the high seats, the Peak Masters of the Top Ten Famous Peaks also frowned.

Clearly,

they had no idea what Sha Xian was up to.

"What kind of appetizer are you referring to?"

Zhen Xia asked.

Hearing Zhen Xia’s words, Sha Xian knew his objective had been achieved.

So at this moment,

His face burst into an extremely brilliant smile.

Then,

His body suddenly turned.

His dazzling gaze directly looked towards Qin Chen, who was standing on one side of Asura Square.

At this moment,

Everyone was curious about what Sha Xian was up to.

So,

When Sha Xian finished speaking and turned his gaze,

Their eyes also shifted in that direction.

Seeing the white figure within their line of sight,

Many of the Peak Masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect changed their expressions.

At a higher position, Nan Fan’s eyes widened even more.

"Jiang Bairen?"

Nan Fan’s words carried a hint of surprise in his tone.

Clearly,

Nan Fan recognized Jiang Bairen, but he hadn’t expected that this once First Genius of the Hundred Peaks Sect, who had disappeared for three years, would appear today.

Moreover,

While looking at Qin Chen, they also saw the bruised faces of Qee Feizhou and his group, causing many to frown.

Those in the know immediately understood Sha Xian’s intentions.

Those who were unaware frowned, not understanding the secrets involved.

"I heard long ago that our Hundred Peaks Sect’s First Genius, Brother Jiang Bairen, returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect a few days ago!"

"I greatly admire Brother Jiang, and here, I would boldly like to challenge Brother Jiang to a duel!"

"I wonder, Brother Jiang, what do you think?"

Sha Xian, with a smile on his face, looked at Qin Chen.

He slowly began to speak.

Hearing Sha Xian’s words, a wave of shocked voices erupted across Asura Square.

"It was said that a few days ago, Sha Xian had beaten a disciple from Thousand Bamboo Peak and even declared that Jiang Bairen was welcome to look for him if he wanted trouble. Yet, Jiang Bairen actually hid for seven days without showing up!"

"Now it seems that Sha Xian really wants to cause trouble for Jiang Bairen!"

"Yes, in such a situation, if Jiang Bairen doesn’t accept, he will definitely lose face!"

"The key point is that he hid for seven days and didn’t show up, clearly because he couldn’t win. Now this is going to be interesting."

The knowledgeable disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect whispered among themselves,

Their expressions one of watching a good show unfolding.

Indeed,

Sha Xian’s words, spoken in such a setting,

Undoubtedly pushed Qin Chen into a corner.

Firstly, revealing Qin Chen’s identity, then elevating his status while lowering his own.

Then, issuing a challenge!

Leaving Qin Chen with no choice but to accept.

"This Sha Xian is clearly doing this on purpose!"

"Again and again, pushing aggressively, truly shameless to the extreme!"

Disciples from Thousand Bamboo Peak spoke, their expressions extremely upset.

They all knew.

Sha Xian clearly wanted Qin Chen to battle him, then defeat Qin Chen and embarrass him in front of so many people.

After all, Qin Chen was the First Genius of the Hundred Peaks Sect three years ago.

If Qin Chen lost to Sha Xian, he would bring utter disgrace upon himself.

And if he refused to fight, that would naturally result in a lot of gossip.

In any case,

Sha Xian had calculated everything,

Just to make Qin Chen, in front of so many people, lose the proud halo he had three years ago and let him crush it underfoot.

"Senior Brother, although Sha Xian’s cultivation is at the Body Refining Eighth Layer, he has defeated even those at the Ninth Layer; his strength is extraordinary."

"I think, if it really comes to it, it’s still better to avoid the fight."

Qee Feizhou said with a distressed expression.

Qin Chen heard Qee Feizhou’s words and slightly shook his head.

Then,

Qin Chen’s gaze turned towards Sha Xian on Asura Square.

His eyes slightly narrowed.

Inside his body, the originally calm Elemental Power also started surging.

"I haven’t even looked for his trouble yet, and this guy has come looking for me first."

"A tiger doesn’t show its might and he really thinks I, Jiang Bairen, am a sick cat?!"
