Chapter 1239: Chapter 1236: The Start of Internal Struggle_1 Chapter 1239: Chapter 1236: The Start of Internal Struggle_1 Just as he thought of Wu Changkong, suddenly, Wu Changkong’s gaze fell upon him, causing Yang Chen to narrow his eyes and secretly be on guard.

Wu Changkong said with a faint smile, “Speaking of privacy, Brother Hetan, Brother Hua Wu, I have a question for you.”

“What question?” Hetan and Hua Wu Emperor were both on guard, after all, they were on the territory of the royal family.

Wu Changkong said, “I’m curious, what is the relationship between this Yang Chen under your command and the Yang Chen from the Thirty-six Eastern Counties?”

When this question was asked again, the Ocean Division Sect and Ling Nvzong Sect could not help but prick up their ears.

Emperor Ren Hu had already asked this question just now, but Hetan and Hua Wu Emperor had completely ignored it, and no one knew how they would respond this time.

He Tan spoke coldly, “Emperor Chang Kong, since you’ve mentioned the word ‘privacy,’ it seems that we have no obligation to answer your question.”

Wu Changkong smiled kindly, “Haha, don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. I actually have no ill intentions. Although Yang Chen escaped with a priceless treasure back then, I am not interested in the treasures he carries.”

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Although Wu Changkong appeared to be kind and said he was not interested in his treasures, his obvious intention was to tell others, “Hey everyone, this Yang Chen has a priceless treasure on him. You all should investigate thoroughly, in case you miss something.”

How could Hua Wu Great Emperor and He Tan Emperor not understand Wu Changkong’s intentions and thoughts? Both snorted in frustration.

Hua Wu Emperor said ominously, “Is that so? It seems that Brother Wu doesn’t care about treasures.”

“Haha, that’s not necessarily true. However, I do have a bit of a connection with Yang Chen. It is said that Yang Chen is from North Mountain County in the Thirty-six Eastern Counties, and I have been to North Mountain County when I was young,” said Wu Changkong.

Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Wu Changkong had discovered something? If his current strength was discovered by Wu Changkong, and Wu Changkong took note of his learning of Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts, it would be like inviting big trouble.

However, upon closer inspection, Wu Changkong obviously mentioned this unintentionally, which made him let out a sigh of relief.

Wu Changkong was only trying to annoy the Northern Territory Sect and had no other intentions. After finishing his words, he laughed and stopped talking.

The Northern Territory Sect had no intention of arguing with Wu Changkong either, and began to discuss the matter of the three quotas for the trial tower.

Seeing that Wu Changkong and the Northern Territory Sect couldn’t ignite any sparks, the Ocean Division Sect and Ling Nvzong Sect also started to allocate their three quotas among their subordinates.

Without a word, Hua Wu Emperor recommended Yang Chen to Hetan as the first candidate.

Although Yang Chen was not directly under Hetan, he was a disciple of the Northern Territory Sect, so Hetan knew about Yang Chen’s excellence. After thinking about it, he directly said, “Yang Chen’s strength and talent cannot be denied, and he has easily passed the three exams assessment. How could there be no quota for Yang Chen? Brother Hua Wu, you don’t have to worry, this quota is definitely for Yang Chen.”

“That’s good,” said Hua Wu Great Emperor as he finally relaxed.

He Tan muttered, “The key is how to allocate the remaining two quotas among the disciples below.”

Seeing He Tan worrying about this matter, Hua Wu Emperor stood by and offered a strategy, “Sect Leader, Su Yao’s quota is undoubtedly essential. The key now is the third quota, both Lin Hao and Wei Zheng are qualified for this third quota. As the third and fourth ranked disciples of our Northern Territory Sect, their actual strength difference is not that big.”

He Tan sighed when he heard this, as Hua Wu’s words were exactly what he had in mind.

He obviously wouldn’t forget Su Yao, but if he really did, he guessed that Lin Guang Great Emperor would not let the matter go easily when he returned. The key thing was which of his Cloud Tiger subordinates, Lin Hao and Wei Zheng, to choose.

With this in mind, He Tan simply turned his gaze to the two of them and said, “Lin Hao, Wei Zheng, come here.”

Lin Hao and Wei Zheng knew what this meant and hurriedly stepped forward.

He Tan said solemnly, “I called you two because I think you both can probably guess what I meant. This quota for the trial tower, one for Su Yao and one for Yang Chen, I hope you both have no objections or grievances.”

Lin Hao and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept since both Yang Chen and Su Yao were genuinely skilled and talented.

“We are convinced!” Lin Hao and Wei Zheng said in unison.

“In that case, the third quota will be decided between you two. You two should decide who takes it,” sighed Hetan.

He didn’t want it to be like this, but the trial tower was such a precious opportunity that it was difficult to decide who should get it, so he had to let the two of them compete for it.

The implication was clear; whoever wins, takes it.

Lin Hao and Wei Zheng understood the meaning, but neither of them acted for a while until, after a moment, Wei Zheng finally spoke with difficulty, “This quota goes to Lin Hao.”

Lin Hao’s expression changed suddenly, “Wei Zheng, what do you mean by this?”

“Back in the Forbidden Demon Clan Battlefield, you saved my life. How can I fight you for this quota now? Just go and remember to seize this precious opportunity. If you don’t accomplish something great in the future, I won’t let you off,” Wei Zheng turned away and ignored Lin Hao.

It was not difficult to judge that giving up such a precious quota must have been painful for Wei Zheng.

Lin Hao clenched his teeth, and his fists tightened, looking very distressed as well.

No one could have imagined that it would end like this between the two of them.

Hetan hadn’t expected it either, but this actually relieved him. He was most worried that the two would sever their friendship over the Imperial Trial Tower. Now it seemed that such a thing did not happen.

If they had truly severed their bonds, that would have been exactly what the royal family wanted to see.

However, while it did not happen in the Northern Territory Sect, it was a different story for the Ocean Division Sect.

It was obvious that disagreements arose constantly within the Ocean Division Sect, with high-level members arguing with red faces and thick necks, all trying to secure a quota for the talented disciples under their command.

It was because almost everyone in the Ocean Division Sect had very similar levels of excellence, unlike the Northern Territory Sect, which had just held the Four Peaks Competition before embarking on this Imperial Trial Tower journey.

After arguing for some time, it took Emperor Fen Shui to stand up and interrupt the thoughts of the high-level members with a loud shout.

After that, Emperor Fen Shui directly let the talented disciples other than Shi Changhe draw lots to decide the quotas, and the matter finally settled.

However, it was not hard to see that rifts had formed between many high-level members of the Ocean Division Sect. It would not be easy to recover in the short term.

Surprisingly, the Ling Nvzong Sect was quite peaceful. There was no dispute at all. They simply and efficiently selected three talented disciples, with Sima Long leading the way.
