Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 277: The Great Sect Competition

These pieces of information were exactly what Qinchuan had instructed Chi Shan to spread out.

The purpose was to mobilize more disciples and elders to participate in this grand competition.

Then, during the sect competition, both sides would employ their spells and consume the strength of the elders and disciples.

This would make those lurking in the shadows think that this was a perfect opportunity to wipe out the Burning Heaven Sect in one fell swoop; when that time came, Qinchuan would further fan the flames from within, exposing all those hidden enemies.

And what Qinchuan was doing now was simply waiting.

After two more days had passed, the preliminaries of the once-in-a-decade sect competition finally began.

In the past, the Great Elder and the Second Elder were in charge of this matter, but this year, both of them had been sent away by Qinchuan and were not in the sect, leaving the Seventh and Ninth Elders in charge of the competition.

These two were the elders who had followed by the side of the Burning Heaven Saint Heir, Yu Chiye, originally known as Chi Qing and Chi Shui, sons of the Great Elder Zhang and the Second Elder respectively.

It was these two who had suspected Qinchuan’s identity when they first met him and had stopped Yu Chiye from provoking Qinchuan.

After Qinchuan arrived at the Burning Heaven Sect, the Sect Leader personally confirmed his identity, causing great fear in both of them.

On this day, while Qinchuan was having an early meal, Chi Qing and Chi Shui came together, wishing to invite Qinchuan to join them in watching the grand competition among the disciples of the sect.

Qinchuan found it amusing in his heart; these two were surely sent by the Chi Shan Sect. Knowing his identity, observing the competition was merely a pretext, likely wanting Qinchuan to offer some guidance to the younger generation.

Seeing through their little scheme, Qinchuan did not refuse; he also wanted to see the current strength of the various levels of disciples within the Burning Heaven Sect.

After his meal, he set off together with the two elders.

Accompanying them was also the Burning Heaven Saint Heir, Yu Chiye.

It turned out that the Seventh and Eighth Elders were afraid that Yu Chiye would not let go of his grudge and seek out Qinchuan again, thinking it would be very good to take this opportunity to resolve some of their conflicts.

Yu Chiye was not of the Chi Clan bloodline, so he was unaware of Qinchuan’s true identity.

During the martial arts conference, he had wanted to teach Qinchuan a harsh lesson, but he was stopped by the two elders, which annoyed him greatly.

After Qinchuan arrived at the Burning Heaven Sect, he learned that Qinchuan had been taken as a direct disciple by the Sect Leader which fanned the flames of his anger even more.

You should know that he had been the Saint Heir for a year, and although he hadn’t yet been taken as a direct disciple by the Sect Leader, he was confident that within three years, he would surely become a direct descendant of the Sect Leader.

He did not expect that someone would suddenly cut in halfway and Qin Qinchuan beat him to the punch.

What virtues and abilities does this Qinchuan possess to be favored by the Sect Leader?

However, the Seventh and Eighth Elders repeatedly instructed him not to provoke Qinchuan.

Plus, Qinchuan had become the center of attention during the martial arts conference, with even saints and Supreme Saints engrossed in his martial path.

Thus, although he was seething with rage, deep down he was reluctant to completely fall out with Qinchuan.

But the humiliation of that day, combined with the fact that Qinchuan had snatched away the position of being the Sect Leader’s direct disciple, filled him with deep hatred for Qinchuan.

Anger mixed with respect, dual emotions intertwined, yet he never showed them outwardly.

"Hmph, a gentleman cannot rest until he has avenged his grudges. I’ll have to find an opportunity to make you properly embarrass yourself!"

Yu Chiye, walking beside the trio, thought to himself in silence.

It wasn’t long before the three arrived at the Burning Heaven Sect’s largest and lowest-level arena.

At the time, the vast arena was thronged with people, a veritable sea of humanity.

Four circular stages were situated in four directions, each displaying a faint barrier. These were jointly set by Chi Shan along with several Supreme Saint Elders to prevent accidental injuries to the innocent.

Around each of the stages were several protectors maintaining the order outside of their respective stages.

The preliminary competition lasted for three days and was divided into three rounds. Today was only the first day of the competition, so the arena was at its most crowded and busiest.

After Chi Qing and Chi Shui instructed Yu Chiye and Qinchuan, they went to inspect the A and B groups respectively.

Following the crowd, Qinchuan made his way towards a large stage marked with the character "Bing".

Seeing the direction Qinchuan was headed in, Yu Chiye glanced at the three protectors around the Bing Arena and thought, "Hmph, I was worried about how to make you embarrass yourself, but since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, you can’t blame this Saint Heir."

With that thought, he immediately followed and squeezing out a few traces of a smile, he said to Qinchuan, "Brother Qin, this way, please!"

Although he was a Saint Heir and had been with the Burning Heaven Sect for quite some time, since Qinchuan was a direct disciple of the Sect Leader, he also had to respectfully call him Brother Qin.

Qinchuan glanced at Yu Chiye. Without activating his Innate Pupils, he could still see that Yu Chiye had ill intentions.

However, Qinchuan actually had a higher regard for Yu Chiye now. During the Martial Arts convention, due to practicing the Nine Yang True Intent, the young man’s real intent could hardly be restrained, making him irascible. Qinchuan merely gave him a few casual tips.

To his surprise, after a few days without seeing each other, Yu Chiye truly eliminated the influence of the Cultivation Technique on his temperament, reined in his temper, and was now capable of scheming against him in the shadows.

He did not expose Yu Chiye but walked unhurriedly in the direction he was leading.

The three protectors in charge of maintaining order and overseeing the combat on the Bing Stage, upon seeing Yu Chiye approach, all nodded and bowed with the utmost respect.

The three protectors were brothers and looked almost identical. One could only distinguish them by their hair.

The older brother with a wisp of white beard was named Gong Hong, the second brother with a tuft of black beard was called Gong Hai, and the youngest without a beard was Gong Miao.

The three had long been aware of the Saint Heir’s reputation, and even though they had not had much interaction, they had heard of the Saint Heir’s arrogant and volatile nature.

But the scene that followed took the three by surprise. Yu Chiye bowed deeply in a courteous manner.

Though the three protectors were older, with Yu Chiye being the Saint Heir of the Burning Heaven Sect and his status exalted, neither party really needed to bow to the other.

Seeing Yu Chiye give such a grand bow, which wasn’t as arrogant as the rumors suggested, they all stood tall with proud expressions.

They thought to themselves, "After all, he is a junior. Even if he is a Saint Heir, in front of this protector, he must still be respectful."

Gong Hong, standing at the forefront and catching sight of Qinchuan beside Yu Chiye, saw him standing with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of bowing in respect. Displeased, Gong Hong frowned and asked, "Whose disciple is this? Doesn’t he know to show proper courtesy and bow when he sees this protector?" Discover exclusive content at novelbuddy

Qinchuan had been observing the sparring disciples on the stage. Though their moves were adequate, they were mostly for show and not likely to achieve greatness.

Upon hearing Gong Hong’s words, Qinchuan said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? Deserving of my bow? I fear that if you received one bow from me, you couldn’t bear it, and your True Spirit would collapse."

Qinchuan’s words were not without merit; his body contained the Asura Emperor Soul, which could withstand a bow from a Great Emperor of the Jiuxiang Ancient Kingdom and even cause harm to the bower.

Gong Hong, being only in the Immortal Platform Realm, indeed could not withstand a bow from Qinchuan.

However, these words sounded completely different to Gong Hong, and he was about to lose his temper.

Yu Chiye chuckled to himself, having already heard of the Gong Clan brothers’ reputation for vanity and their narrow-mindedness. Their disciples who did not show proper respect were seen as challenging their authority, and here was Qinchuan, not only showing no respect but even brazenly provoking them. He truly did not know whether to live or die.
