Chapter 1769 - Chapter 1769 Chapter 1766 Mysterious Voice_1

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1766: Mysterious Voice_1 Chapter 1769: Chapter 1766: Mysterious Voice_1 “Pay with Merit Points?” Yang Chen muttered to himself.

“Yes, but the amount of Merit Points to be paid varies according to the agreement made in advance. Some losers have to pay half, while others only need to pay thirty percent. However, from the very beginning, Ming Hao intended this to be a trap, and he wants us to pay all our Merit Points.” Chai Tao said nervously.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh inside, thinking Chai Tao was not too stupid, as he finally realized he had fallen into a trap.

Yang Chen didn’t take it too seriously, and said with a light smile, “Well then, we really got a great bargain. I haven’t been in the army for long, and I don’t have many Merit Points on me. Even if I gave them all to him, what harm could it do? On the other hand, he has a lot of Merit Points and should be more worried than me.”

Chai Tao’s smile was bitter. Yang Chen indeed had the upper hand in this matter, but did Ming Hao know that? From the very beginning, Ming Hao had never expected them to have many Merit Points.

The reason he wanted to compete on the Wind Thunder Platform was to teach them a lesson and humiliate their Xuandao Sect, as well as use the opportunity to make some extra income from this war.

After all, Ming Hao had no idea how many Merit Points Yang Chen possessed.

Although he thought so, Chai Tao didn’t know how to explain it. All he could say was, “Brother Yang, I’m really sorry to have dragged you into this.”

Yang Chen could tell that Chai Tao didn’t think he had any chance of winning, and he hadn’t even considered that possibility.

This made Yang Chen both amused and puzzled, but he didn’t bother to comfort or explain himself. He just let Chai Tao think whatever he wanted. Everything would be clear when they got to the Wind Thunder Platform three days later.

Since someone was willing to give him Merit Points for free, why shouldn’t he accept them?

And so, amidst the discussions of others, Yang Chen and Chai Tao returned to their camp.

After Yang Chen and Chai Tao left, the news of the incident gradually spread, and soon reached the ears of Elder Qian Gong at the Cloud-reaching Pavilion.

“That’s how things are, Uncle Master Qian Gong. This Yang Chen is troublesome. He actually challenged Ming Hao, a Quasi-True Inheritor Disciple of the Shangxian Sect, to compete on the Wind Thunder Platform! Ming Hao is at the United Peak Stage of the Integration Period, and could break through to the Demigod Stage at any time,” a cultivator in the True God Realm reported the situation.

Elder Qian Gong rubbed his eyebrows and said solemnly, “Is this true? Did that kid really accept the challenge?”

“Yes, many people witnessed it. There’s no way to back out now,” the cultivator replied.

Hearing this, many cultivators couldn’t help but become angry.

“That kid is so reckless!”

“Too presumptuous.”

“Although the difficulty of becoming a True Inheritor Disciple in the Shangxian Sect is not as high as in our Xuandao Sect, it is still quite high. Ming Hao becoming a Quasi-True Inheritor Disciple means he will eventually become a True Inheritor Disciple. How can Yang Chen not have any basic judgment? He could have provoked anyone else, but he had to provoke Ming Hao.”

“The key point is that both of them will go up to the Wind Thunder Platform together. If they compete on the Wind Thunder Platform, Ming Hao will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to humiliate Yang Chen. By then, our Xuan Dao Sect will lose face.”

“Damn it!” Elder Qian Gong was furious as smoke rose from his nostrils. “This kid dares to cause trouble at such a critical time. I have already had enough of headaches from the Six-sided Competition, and now he starts this!”

“Uncle Master Qian Gong, I suggest we punish this kid severely.”

“I think so too!”

For a moment, many cultivators began to shout.

Elder Qian Gong waved his hand and said, “Hmph, a severe punishment? You are really bold to say that. Although this kid went up to the Wind Thunder Platform and lost face, I don’t think he would actively look for trouble with Ming Hao. Most likely, Ming Hao and his group insulted our Xuan Dao Sect first. This kind of thing isn’t the first time.”

“But did that kid ever consider the overall interests of our Xuandao Sect? This is simply a disgrace to our Sect.”

Elder Qian Gong said in a deep voice, “A disgrace? Ridiculous, has our Xuandao Sect not lost enough face? Have any of you ever tried to regain it for us?”

At Elder Qian Gong’s words, the group of people below couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and helpless.

Elder Qian Gong’s cold voice said, “At least this kid has the courage to compete on the Wind Thunder Platform. What about you? However, with his recklessness, if he loses, it’ll indeed be up to our Xuan Dao Sect to clean up the mess. In three days, I will personally go to watch the battle. If he loses, forget about any severe punishment, but we’ll still have to teach him a lesson. After all, he is a seedling of our Xuan Dao Sect. When he’s bullied outside, his own people should provide him with some shelter.”

…

Not only did Elder Qian Gong know about this matter, but it spread so quickly that nearly all six forces had heard about it.

However, since these matters had nothing to do with the other four forces, they all maintained a silent attitude, only thinking about enjoying the spectacle when the battle came.

But it was different for the Shangxian Sect and Xuandao Sect.

In particular, the members of the Xuandao Sect changed their attitude towards Yang Chen, thinking he was a newcomer who didn’t know how to be humble and brought shame to their sect.

Yang Chen could see some of this. Recently, whenever he went out, he could feel people pointing at him and discussing him. It seemed as if they thought he had done something unforgivable.

“These people, being oppressed every day and not daring to complain, now see me fighting back and think I’m the odd one out,” Yang Chen shrugged, not intending to argue with them and appearing quite dismissive of their opinions.

For three days, he continued working and patrolling as usual.

He was extremely thorough in his prohibition duties, but much to Yang Chen’s dismay, his luck was not good. For two days of patrolling, he did not encounter any members of the alien tribes.

However, he encountered some interesting things during these two days.

When he spread his soul, he would occasionally hear some sorrowful voices mixed with the sounds of wind, rain, and other noises.

If he didn’t listen closely, he couldn’t hear them at all.

If he spread his soul, the voices would immediately dissipate and could not be sensed.

Based on Yang Chen’s unique intuition, he believed that the source of these voices should be humans, not alien tribes. Moreover, the emotions conveyed in these voices seemed to be those of people in distress.

Yang Chen was perplexed and wanted to investigate, but unfortunately, the location was so far away that it made him quite helpless.

It seemed that the location was at the border between the humans and the alien tribes, a place that was generally off-limits to prohibition patrol teams and other cultivators.

Although Yang Chen was daring, he wouldn’t casually venture to such a place just because of some faint voices.

Nonetheless, he was truly interested in this phenomenon.

However, it seemed that only he could hear these voices. In the past few days, he had tried to probe other team members, including Chai Tao, but without exception, none of them heard the voices.
