Chapter 197: Assembly in the Capital, Su Chen's Decision
Chapter 197: Assembly in the Capital, Su Chen's Decision
An overwhelming pressure enveloped the surroundings, causing everyone to feel as if moving their bodies had become a laborious task.
This was the first time Su Chen had used the Midnight Frost Blade Technique against an opponent.
His sixth-stage initial stage opponent seemed to have no ability to dodge under this strike.
The hand gripping the short dagger was severed at the arm.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Su Chen even shifted his stance to avoid getting stained by the blood.
Wails and screams filled the Windriding Pavilion's rear garden, the agonizing cries of the middle-aged man.
Only his cries echoed through the garden.
The Northern Abyss Imperial Family, the Alliance Kingdom Imperial Family, and the Windriding Pavilion's members were all frozen, as if affected by a mysterious spell.
The man who had just attacked was the highly esteemed Guardian Leader of the Alliance Kingdom Imperial Family.
In front of Su Chen, his arm had been severed with a single strike.
A warrior surpassing the Radiance Realm was a rare sight across the nations, a phenomenon that could be counted on one hand over the past century.
It seemed that no one had ever had an arm severed by a single strike.
When they witnessed Su Chen's confrontation with Yin Nanyi, the crowd had already raised their expectations of Su Chen.
However, they had not truly understood Su Chen's strength.
The actual disparity in power was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, clouds and mud.
"I rarely use such force against others.
In this age of demons and monsters, every warrior is a force against them.
But you sought my life and wanted to destroy my cultivation foundation.
So, I'm sorry, but I must respond in kind."
Su Chen stood before the wailing middle-aged man, responding to his cries.
Su Chen's words were indeed his personal code of conduct.
For Su Chen to use such brutality against him, it was evident that the man had acted with malicious intent.
Meeting by chance, he had attacked with the intent to destroy Su Chen.
There was no way he could get away with it.
After speaking, Su Chen walked out of the garden's center, intentionally approaching Yang Yueyao.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Yang, I'll keep this blade for myself.
I believe I've won against Senior Apprentice Brother Yin, right?
Holding this long blade in my hand, I don't think it's a waste of its potential."
Su Chen spoke these words to Yang Yueyao.
But this time, Yang Yueyao's face turned pale, and she dared not respond.
Just before leaving, Su Chen seemed to remember something and turned back towards Yang Yueyao.
"Additionally, I want to clarify something.
I, Su Chen, have no intention of imitating anyone. I hope Senior Apprentice Sister Yang understands."
What was there to understand?
The strength displayed during the confrontation, the talk of a substitute, and imitation?
Even the most foolish person could see it was nonsense.
Did a powerful warrior like Su Chen need to learn from Yin Nanyi?
If Su Chen unleashed his true strength, Yin Nanyi might not even last a single strike.
It was more believable to say that Yin Nanyi was imitating Su Chen.
After Su Chen left, the atmosphere in the rear garden gradually returned to normal.
The Alliance Kingdom members hurriedly carried their Guardian Leader away and applied healing medicine to his injury.
For a while, no one in the garden spoke.
The impact on their minds was too great, leaving them momentarily disoriented.
Many members of the Windriding Pavilion were drenched in cold sweat.
They couldn't help but recall if they had offended Su Chen in the past and to what extent.
They wondered if they would face any punishment.
A warrior surpassing the Radiance Realm had lost an arm, and within the Windriding Pavilion, only the Pavilion Master himself might be capable of dealing with such a situation.
At this moment, Yang Yueyao felt as if all her romantic thoughts had been emptied from her mind.
She had been thinking about Yin Nanyi, but now, her mind was solely focused on Su Chen and how to resolve this matter.
The strength Su Chen had displayed was no longer just her concern but an issue for the entire Windriding Pavilion.
Today, the rear garden was supposed to be a banquet for the Northern Abyss Kingdom and the Alliance Kingdom to engage in diplomatic talks.
After the turmoil, both sides seemed to have lost the mood to continue the conversation.
The banquet ended hastily, and the Alliance Kingdom's people left in the night.
The Windriding Pavilion Elder had already arranged for someone to notify his pavilion master.
After the others had left, the Windriding Pavilion Elder gathered everyone who had been associated with Su Chen.
He questioned each one, leaving no clue or trace unnoticed.
Su Chen appeared young, but the strength he displayed could even cause the demise of this Elder.
In this realm, who could match a martial artist surpassing the Radiance Realm in a single move?
It's highly likely that even the pavilion master of the Windriding Pavilion would not be Su Chen's match.
The time had already reached October, and the weather finally began to turn cool.
During this season, the common people started their harvest.
As the saying goes, "Winter comes after summer, and autumn harvests are stored for winter."
Autumn brings the joy of harvest.
But everyone knew that during this season, the demon beast menace would be at its most severe.
The demons were also preparing for the harsh winter, and their desire to attack would be more ferocious than in summer.
Over at Tiangang City, they started to reinforce the defenses on the frontline.
Many disciples were dispatched to the frontline for reinforcement.
Moreover, Tiangang City was preparing to advance the frontline defenses and construct fortifications.
It seemed that the support for the disciples going to the frontline was no less than in previous years.
However, many people were not averse to this, as they had more rest time this year compared to last year, and they were somewhat unaccustomed to it.
If the sect assigned some tasks, it would be more suitable.
During this season, Gu Feng and the other direct disciples of Tiangang City returned to the sect.
This was Tiangang City's tradition; during autumn, even the busiest direct disciples and core disciples had to return to the sect.
Then they would support the frontline defenses of Tiangang City for a while.
At this moment, Gu Feng was in the Great Elder's rear garden.
Besides the Great Elder, the other Elders were also present.
"The roster for the capital gathering has already been submitted long ago. It's unchangeable, and there's no need to alter it.
Before writing the roster, I had already discussed it with the other Elders.
Regarding Su Chen's name, after our discussion, we unanimously agreed to include it.
If you still feel that it's inappropriate, then consider me as having lost my mind and become stubborn and unpersuadable.
Even if there's a need to modify the roster for the capital gathering, it won't be to remove Su Chen's name."
Upon hearing Senior Zhenren Shangxuan's words, Gu Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He had been outside for these few months, training and gaining experience.
But when he returned this time, he was informed that after winter, Su Chen would be joining the capital gathering.
And it would be with an official qualification.
The capital gathering after winter was considered the gathering of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Celestial Prodigies.
Each sect could only send its most outstanding disciples with official qualifications.
Over the years, only the Yunyang Sect would report two quotas.
That is, Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan.
Other sects seemed to have no face to add another quota for themselves.
Seeing the firm attitude of the Elders, Gu Feng hesitated and nodded.
But he still spoke, expressing his opinion.
"I don't mind if Su Chen goes with official qualifications.
Anyway, if he's targeted and embarrassed by others later, it won't be just me, Gu Feng, who loses face.
Tiangang City can't escape this either."
Hearing Gu Feng's words, the Fourth Elder at the side glanced at him with a hint of reproach.
"As disciples of the same sect, how can you just watch him being bullied?
You must help, especially as the Celestial Prodigy of Tiangang City!"
