Chapter 1203: Chapter 1202: Marquis Guiming’s Warning
Relying on his Sword Intent to defeat Beigong Lan, Ling Chen’s figure flickered, and he leaped onto a Heavenly Chosen seat, then sat down.
A powerful surge of fortune suddenly rose from beneath that elegant seat, erupting around Ling Chen in a burst of dazzling radiance.
In the gazes that everyone cast toward Ling Chen, there was all a hint of dread surging up; Ling Chen sitting in this Heavenly Pride position was truly a title well deserved.
At this moment, down in the Renjie Region, Chen Qingzhi and Qin Yiren were both looking up toward the area of the Second Peak, where on those eighteen Heavenly Chosen elegant seats, Ling Chen’s figure could clearly be seen.
"Senior Brother Ling Chen is indeed incredible; he’s already taken the Heavenly Pride title into his hands. Earlier he was still saying it was hard to say—he really was too modest."
Qin Yiren gazed at Ling Chen sitting on that Heavenly Chosen seat, and an unusual look surfaced in her beautiful eyes.
"Compared with Senior Brother Ling Chen, I truly feel ashamed."
Chen Qingzhi also sighed with emotion.
However, just as he was about to say more, within his line of sight Ling Chen’s body suddenly shot up from the seat, his figure like a shooting star, rushing at high speed toward the summit higher up!
"What? Senior Brother Ling Chen, is he planning to enter the Third Peak?"
Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment.
"He’s already obtained a Heavenly Chosen seat, yet he’s still not satisfied, and wants to fight for a Divine Marquis title?"
Qin Yiren also opened her little mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.
The level of the Twelve Divine Marquises already counted as the most outstanding geniuses of the entire Nine Provinces Land; basically, they were the leaders of the younger generation of each Sect and faction in the Nine Province Sect Realm. Ling Chen actually wanted to snatch a victory from the hands of such people?
That was far too difficult.
"Only by daring to challenge can one gain greater rewards—that is exactly where Senior Brother Ling Chen surpasses others." A glint flashed in Chen Qingzhi’s eyes as he said, "Even if he loses, so what?"
Yet he had no idea that Ling Chen’s thoughts were not like that at all, because Ling Chen did not feel that he would possibly stop in the Divine Marquis area.
Just as Ling Chen had left, Wei Wuxian and Peerless Sword also shot up one after another, closely following Ling Chen’s steps, charging wildly toward the summit higher up!
"These people really are in a hurry; their butts haven’t even warmed the seat, and they’re already this impatient."
After lingering for a moment, that Rakshasa Woman also slapped the armrest, then, like a mass of Flames, drifted toward the mountaintop.
As for Liu Mengru, after hesitating briefly, she too closely followed. Continuous sounds of air being torn rang out; on the Heavenly Chosen seats, one figure after another left their seats in succession, heading to contend for that Divine Marquis position.
Divine Marquises and Heavenly Prides might differ by only one rank, but the fame and influence they enjoyed across the Nine Provinces Land were vastly different.
The Third Peak.
The atmosphere remained solemn here, only the number of seats was already reduced by one third compared to the Second Peak.
Moreover, at the very center of those twelve Divine Marquis elegant seats, there was still an empty seat; altogether, the Divine Marquis seats held only eleven people.
"The contest in the Heavenly Chosen Area seems rather intense."
A Heavenly Pride Level Divine Marquis looked down below; vaguely, he could already see figures rushing at high speed toward this place.
"That’s normal. In which Nine Flow Conference did the Heavenly Chosen seats not go through a round of great reshuffling?"
Another Divine Marquis smiled faintly with indifference. "Heavenly Pride Level strength ultimately can’t compare with ours, but generally speaking, those challengers who can break through to the Heavenly Pride level have already reached their limit. To make it here is no easy feat."
"And even if they come here, so what? At most we just get to move our hands and feet a bit."
The Divine Marquis Level genius who spoke earlier said.
"That’s not necessarily true."
Just then, a cold voice suddenly drifted over. Everyone couldn’t help but look over, only to see that the speaker was none other than Marquis Guiming.
"You’d all better be careful, otherwise if you capsize in a gutter, don’t blame me for not warning you." Marquis Guiming said coldly.
"Oh?"
At Marquis Guiming’s words, the people on the Divine Marquis seats all looked at him in some surprise. Usually, few were more arrogant than Marquis Guiming; yet at this moment, this guy actually said something like that, which naturally made them feel a bit incredulous.
But Marquis Guiming had no intention of explaining further. He certainly wouldn’t publicly mention that he had been defeated by Ling Chen; first, he couldn’t bring himself to, and second, if he said it, then when Ling Chen came up, surely no one would dare challenge him.
Most likely, Ling Chen would choose him, this former loser, as his opponent; at that time, his Divine Marquis seat would be as good as gone.
"They’re here!"
Just then, Marquis Guiming’s pupils suddenly shrank; in his line of sight, figures shot up one after another, landing in the open area before them. They were precisely Ling Chen and his group who had charged up from the Second Peak.
"So many actually came."
All the gazes from the Heavenly Chosen seats fell on these suddenly appearing figures, and then a look of surprise emerged in succession. The number of young Experts rushing up from below was at least twice that of previous years.
In this Nine Flow Conference, so many people were actually challenging the Divine Marquis title.
"That brat really came!"
Marquis Guiming’s gaze fell on Ling Chen, and a hint of dread suddenly surfaced in his eyes.
Last time in the Underworld of the Demon Dragon Palace, he had not only been utterly defeated by Ling Chen, he had almost been killed by Ling Chen as well, so much so that even now, when he saw Ling Chen, he still felt lingering fear.
"Why is there one person missing?"
After arriving in this Third-peak Area, the gazes of the younger generation all turned toward the Divine Marquis elegant seats. Yet immediately they were taken aback—clearly there were Twelve Divine Marquises, yet only eleven people were seated before them, obviously one person short.
"Xuannv already possessed strength close to a King in the previous session, so she has already taken a step ahead and gone to the very summit of Spirit Mountain."
Seemingly seeing through the confusion of the younger generation, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis suddenly spoke to explain.
"The very summit of Spirit Mountain?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look toward the direction above their heads. The very summit of Spirit Mountain was an absolutely forbidden Domain for them, because across the entire younger generation of the Nine Provinces Land, only four people were qualified to stand there!
The four King-level geniuses!
A trace of Gold luster flashed through Ling Chen’s pupils as he pierced through layers of cloud and mist, faintly glimpsing four thrones overflowing with dense aura. Those four thrones just happened to occupy the four directions of east, west, south, and north of Spirit Mountain, like four stars; even from afar, one could feel a rather powerful pressure!
Retracting his gaze, a surge of battle intent suddenly rose in Ling Chen’s eyes. So that was the place he would ultimately have to go—a truly challenging place indeed...
