Chapter 291: It seems we must make an effort to invite Su Chen to the Grand Tournament
When sending the Earth Demon's corpse to the capital, Grandmaster Taiwu had many thoughts.
The Mid-Year Tournament in the capital was one of Grandmaster Taiwu's planned endeavors.
Soon, the top disciples of Yunyang Sect were summoned to the side hall.
After confirming everyone's arrival, Grandmaster Taiwu began to discuss the upcoming tournament.
After introducing the basic rules, Grandmaster Taiwu spoke of his true intentions.
"Currently, the front lines are temporarily stable, and we can now divert our attention to other matters.
Our sect has endured years of slander, and it's time to clear our name.
For this tournament in the capital, I need you all to uphold the reputation of Yunyang Sect.
Relying on a single deceitful and infamous disciple, Heaven's Pivot City thinks they can suppress us completely.
It won't be that easy, and they won't succeed.
During the tournament, you must earn high scores to gain the opportunity to choose your opponents.
I don't mind who among you faces Su Chen, as long as you all agree.
But there's one thing—you must defeat him in one strike! His previous draw with Situ Sanping has put pressure on us, but it's also a pitfall for him.
The people of Great Zhou boast about his strength, claiming he's on par with the Celestial Prodigy.
With such talent and potential, he shouldn't be defeated in a single move.
The slander thrown at us by Heaven's Pivot City will be dispelled.
I will also make other arrangements.
Their previous slander will be returned with severity.
All the benefits they gained from us must be returned!"
Grandmaster Taiwu's expression turned solemn.
For him, this matter was the most important among all his current concerns.
Below the stage, Liu Xing Wan's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
"Sect Leader, suppressing Su Chen shouldn't be difficult for us.
But how can we ensure he will participate in the tournament?
The people of Heaven's Pivot City aren't fools; they know we've dealt with the Earth Demon's chaos.
They must be aware that we now have the time to deal with them.
What if they find an excuse not to participate?"
Liu Xing Wan's concern was valid. Indeed, the Mid-Year Tournament had witnessed the absence of Celestial Prodigies in the past.
If Heaven's Pivot City prevents Su Chen from attending, Yunyang Sect couldn't blame them.
Hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu smiled confidently.
"Of course, I've considered this. When I went to the capital, I discussed this matter with the Imperial Court.
This year is the opening of the Shadowless Wilderness.
Great Zhou has five slots to enter this year.
During the discussion with the Imperial Court, we decided on this matter.
In the past, Yunyang Sect would take one slot for the Shadowless Wilderness, and Heaven's Pivot City would take another by default.
The remaining slots would be competed for by the various sects of Great Zhou.
However, this time, I voluntarily gave up our default slot.
I proposed that all five slots be competed for by the sects of Great Zhou.
Therefore, this tournament in the capital is not just a simple Mid-Year Tournament.
The top few can also earn entry into the Shadowless Wilderness.
The Imperial Court will also send invitations to the top disciples of various sects.
If this is the case, even if Su Chen refuses to come,
Yunyang Sect will personally send people to invite him from Heaven's Pivot City.
Isn't Su Chen a Celestial Prodigy? We'll arrange for people to call out to him in Heaven's Pivot City daily. If he doesn't respond, we'll spread the word throughout Great Zhou.
If Heaven's Pivot City slanders us, we'll learn some unruly methods to counter them."
Although Grandmaster Taiwu's arrangements couldn't guarantee Su Chen's attendance, they were well-thought-out.
But it will undoubtedly put enough pressure on Celestial Capital.
"I really wish he could participate in this year's tournament. I even had a bet with Chen Su."
Liu Xing Wan spoke softly.
Upon hearing the name "Chen Su," Grandmaster Taiwu seemed to be instantly captivated.
"A bet? What did you bet with him?"
"I bet with Chen Su that Su Chen is all show and no substance, and everything is just a scam by Celestial Capital."
"If I win, he will agree to join our Yunyang Sect."
Upon hearing the Sect Leader's inquiry, Liu Xing Wan revealed the bet.
Upon learning this, Grandmaster Taiwu even clapped his hands.
"This bet is good. It seems we must put more effort into inviting Su Chen to participate in the tournament.
Elders and Hall Masters, please give it some thought.
See if there's a way to make it easier to force him to come and compete."
As he spoke, Grandmaster Taiwu couldn't help but glance at Sun Xuerong more than once.
"Especially the Fifth Elder, who caused chaos during the Ascension Platform.
Think of a way to make up for your mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xuerong nodded repeatedly.
She didn't object to these arrangements.
Chen Su's performance on the Ascension Platform was indeed impressive.
Even Sun Xuerong acknowledged Chen Su's potential.
However, Chen Su was not her disciple.
It was uncertain if he could become her disciple if Liu Xing Wan brought him to the Yunyang Sect.
Moreover, this operation specifically targeted Su Chen.
Sun Xuerong had always disliked Su Chen.
Even now, rumors were spreading throughout Great Zhou that Celestial Capital's stability was due to Su Chen.
Recent news had arrived, stating that the frontlines of Celestial Capital's advancement had stabilized under Su Chen's arrangements.
Problems that others couldn't solve were being resolved under Su Chen's instructions.
When Sun Xuerong heard this, she merely scoffed a few times.
She didn't believe any of it; she knew Su Chen's capabilities and skills well.
Perhaps the one with a slightly unpleasant expression in the side hall was Fu Jianyun.
Ever since the Ascension Platform, his reputation as the first Celestial Prodigy of Great Zhou seemed to be somewhat shaken.
Chen Su had remained on the seventh level for one and a half hours.
If not for the many onlookers who witnessed it in person, perhaps many in the Yunyang Sect wouldn't have believed it was real.
But indeed, many had seen it.
Some Yunyang Sect disciples even claimed that Chen Su's talent had surpassed that of Fu Jianyun.
If Chen Su were to join the Yunyang Sect, he might even compete for Fu Jianyun's cultivation resources.
Fu Jianyun was already annoyed that half of the Tianya Guo had been taken away.
Now, more thoughts of planning and scheming filled his mind.
As long as his interests weren't affected, he didn't care about many things.
But it was clear that this Chen Su would impact him.
"There's nothing else of great importance.
Everyone, go back and prepare well, and face the tournament in the capital with your best state.
The Yunyang Sect suffered many losses last year and faced much gossip.
This year, help me regain what was lost.
Especially that Su Chen, whoever faces him must defeat him in one move.
Even if you injure him, there's no need to worry.
I will take all responsibility.
For this ungrateful disciple, an injury is an injury.
But since he's not a very useful pawn, Celestial Capital won't go to war with us over him.
However, it's best to leave him half-alive.
We still have to slowly retrieve what he owes the Yunyang Sect."
