The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 1340 - Chapter 1340 Chapter 1336 Deputy Team Leader_1

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1336: Deputy Team Leader_1 Chapter 1340: Chapter 1336: Deputy Team Leader_1 Now, in the main hall of the Northern Territory Sect’s Yunhu Peak, three Great Emperors were now down to two, as Hua Wu Great Emperor’s whereabouts were unknown, leaving only Jin Shi Great Emperor and He Tan Emperor within the sect.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the various peaks were standing respectfully nearby, discussing with each other, unable to calm their emotions.

Yang Chen was also present, having immediately followed the Changlin Peak’s team upon receiving the news. Upon arrival, he heard the Great Emperors discussing Bai Yudi’s return with severe injuries and the plot of the Fire Essence Beast.

Upon hearing such news from the mouths of the Great Emperors, nobody could sit still anymore.

Yang Chen had many questions in his heart, but he didn’t rush to ask them. Instead, someone else asked. An Elder from the Yunhu Peak couldn’t help but ask, “Sect Leader, do you mean that the Fire Essence Beast intends to incite a great war between the demonic beasts and humans?”

“I’m afraid so, and it’s hard to say how far they’ve got in their plans,” He Tan sighed. “As the sect leader, I received insufficient information on this matter. I only know that Bai Yudi found the Fire Essence Beast’s plot in the Purple Qi Secret Realm and returned with severe injuries after a big battle. He is currently trying to recover his strength. However, it is quite certain that Bai Yudi has indeed collected evidence of the Fire Essence Beast’s crime.”

“What about our Taqing Peak’s Peak Master, Lin Guang Emperor?” Fu Yueying asked anxiously.

Lin Guang and Bai Yudi had gone together to investigate the Thirty-six Eastern Counties.

Upon hearing this, He Tan’s face darkened, and then he clenched his fists, revealing a trace of sadness and lament. Biting his teeth, he said, “Lin Guang and Bai Yudi were investigating the Fire Essence Beast’s crimes together. Due to a mishap during their investigation, Bai Yudi had a hard time dealing with it despite his strength, so he consumed the strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers just to escape. Lin Guang, on the other hand, lost even more of his strength on the spot and died.”

“What!”

Upon the end of his words, the entire Northern Territory Sect was thrown into turmoil.

In the eyes of many people, Great Emperors were invincible. Even if they might be defeated, death was absolutely impossible.

However, now, Lin Guang was dead, and one of their sect’s Great Emperors had fallen.

Especially the disciples of Taqing Peak, they almost collapsed to the ground, and only a few Elders could stand strong. Lin Guang was their Peak Master, the backbone of their Taqing Peak.

Then, Wang Tong and the others also asked curiously, “What about our Changlin Peak’s Peak Master, Hua Wu Great Emperor?”

Since Lin Guang had fallen, of course, they were worried. After all, even Wang Tong, the envoy, had no idea about Hua Wu Great Emperor’s departure.

“Don’t worry about Hua Wu. As soon as the Fire Essence Beast’s rebellion plot came out, the Royal Family has already organized an expedition to gather forces from all directions to attack the Tu Wolf Clan and Fire Essence Beast Clan. We will deal with these two forces first!” He Tan clenched his fist.

Hearing this, Yang Chen gradually understood the situation.

No wonder, no wonder the He Du Laozu was so patient. It seems that He Du Laozu had been secretly plotting a grand plan, which was the real reason he didn’t dare to confront the Northern Territory Sect head-on.

On the other hand, the people of Taqing Peak were the most grief-stricken. Due to Lin Guang’s death, Fu Yueying’s eyes were red as she stood up with great difficulty, chokingly asking, “Sect Leader, what should we, the Northern Territory Sect, do now? Please give us guidance!”

“According to Bai Yudi, the Fire Essence Beast’s ultimate target is the Guardian Spirit Array. The Royal Family has already gathered forces to go to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties. However, this is a major event for all humans. If the demonic beasts break through the Guardian Spirit Array, all the forces of our human territory will be unable to protect themselves. Hence, our Northern Territory Sect should also send out a team to go to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties first. This team will be led by Jin Shi himself! Those who are willing to go and contribute to the humans’ cause, step forward courageously,” He Tan said.

As soon as his voice fell, several disciples from Taqing Peak stepped forward. Fu Yueying and Su Yao were among them, clearly fueled by their anger at the death of Lin Guang Emperor.

In their eyes, Lin Guang was their teacher and their family.

With Lin Guang’s death, they became mortal enemies with the demonic beasts.

Are you sure you want to think about it? If you go to the Thirty-six Eastern Counties now, it means that if the war between the demonic beasts and humans breaks out again, that place will become the most dangerous place. If you go there, you may die at any time. Lin Guang’s death has already sounded a warning bell for us: in this war, even Great Emperors may fall, and the lives of those in the Heaven Martial Realm are even more insignificant,” He Tan reminded them again.

However, Fu Yueying and the others remained steadfast.

“Sect Leader, what’s the difference between going now and going later? As you said, if war breaks out, all the forces in the human territory will be unable to protect themselves. It would be better for us to go there first, to let the demonic beasts know of our might,” an Elder from Taqing Peak stood up and shouted.

“Good, very good. Lin Guang is indeed worthy of being among the Northern Territory Sect’s Great Emperors, guiding such excellent disciples. Even the women are not weak in preserving the sect’s prestige. Which of you wants to lead the charge? Eh?” He Tan Emperor asked.

With these words, most of the disciples and Elders shrank back. Very few had the courage of Fu Yueying and the others.

They felt that Fu Yueying and the others were only hot-headed because of Lin Guang’s death, but they weren’t like that.

At this moment, He Tan’s anger was burning, just about to explode when Yang Chen suddenly bowed: “Junior is willing to go together!”

“Huh?” He Tan looked at Yang Chen and asked, “Yang Chen, are you sure about this?”

After having warned others once before, and now warning him once again, He Tan’s words were enough to make his intentions clear. He wasn’t very supportive of Yang Chen going, as Yang Chen was young and inexperienced, more of a young talent rather than someone who would join the battlefield.

Yang Chen, however, said resolutely, “Sect Leader, I’ve seen too much killing in these years, and I’m no longer a child. Also, I’m very familiar with the geographical environment of the Thirty-six Eastern Counties. So my presence in the team could bring many advantages to our Northern Territory Sect’s team.”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, He Tan couldn’t argue, and after thinking for a moment, he said, “Alright, Yang Chen, just be careful. You and Fu Yueying will be appointed as the deputy team leaders, with Jin Shi as the captain. Be cautious all the way! After the mission is completed, I will reward both of you and nominate you two as candidates for the sect leader. The candidate for our Northern Territory Sect’s sect leader must be someone with blood and courage!”

His words, intentionally or unintentionally, were like a slap in the face for many people around him, causing those who had not actively stepped forward to sweat in shame.
