Chapter 583: The System Wants to Play in the Peak Tournament
[Anecdote detected: Summer Snow]
[This anecdote, also known as the Peak Tournament, was triggered by Liu Longyue. Many questions remain about her identity. To protect his wife and children, the host must rise to the challenge and complete the anecdote to receive substantial rewards.]
"System, you're a real jerk. I knew you weren't that kind."
【Please win the peak competition and let the world witness the rise of a new generation of human emperor】
It's clear that the system has begun making arrangements to facilitate the departure of the Central Plains from Lizhou.
Why did Liu Longyue trigger the peak competition? And who wants to deal with her? Is she not the goddess of the ancient temple, but has another identity?
But it doesn't matter. The benefits brought by Old Zhu's reconquest of the Southern Frontier are enormous. With his current combat strength plus the Humanity Domain, he is strong enough to deal with the Great Sage, and he has the Puppet Refinement to deal with the Ancient Sage. If a Quasi-Emperor really makes a move, he also has the Quasi-Emperor's Full-Power Strike Card and Projection. Let's see whose fist is stronger!
The sparring competition hosted by Zilu Academy and Peach Blossom Palace was held in mid-June, no wonder the system called it Summer Snow.
There are still three or four months until it begins.
In the Jade Capital, Chen Futu sat in the Sage's Hall, his face almost dripping with moisture, "Peak Tournament, Liu Longyue..."
"System, exchange for a teleportation token."
[Spend 20 points to exchange for a one-time teleportation token, which can carry five people per teleportation session]
"Someone, summon Xiao Bai, Li Yuanba, Yao Yue, and Dian Wei!"
Chen Futu gave the order that, apart from Zhang Sanfeng who stayed behind in the desert, the four of them were the strongest fighting force in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Chen Futu planned to personally participate in the peak competition, so he brought the four of them to the Northern Region.
After Yaoyue and Dianwei improved by one major realm, they are now both at the Great Sage level. Xiaobai and Li Yuanba's actual combat strength is no less than that of the two of them.
Even if this battle shatters a realm, Chen Futu will not allow anyone to harm his wife and children!
The four of them, including Xiaobai, changed their expressions drastically after hearing the inside story.
Yaoyue said gloomily, "These damned things! I'm about to head to the grasslands. If they still dare to cause trouble, I'll let them know the thunderous methods of my Great Xia!"
Xiao Bai shouted, "They bullied Xiao Bai's nephew! Xiao Bai will beat them to death!"
Dian Wei and Li Yuanba also nodded, appearing extremely excited.
This isn't a fight in the Outer Continent, but a journey to the Northern Realm—it's exciting just thinking about it.
Next, Chen Futu instructed the four to stay at the Sage's Dojo to hone their skills and cultivate, allowing them to improve as much as they could.
On the other side, inside the Peach Blossom Palace on the edge of Zhenzhou, Liu Longyue knelt before a main hall, tears streaming down her face. A middle-aged ancient saint sat on a high seat in front of her, while the other two were elders of the Peach Blossom Palace. Their gazes toward Liu Longyue were very cold.
Liu Longyue cried, "Please give me back my child. I really don't know what this so-called treasure of Lizhou is."
"You're still pretending! Don't think we don't know why the young sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is hunting you down. Tell us, where exactly is the secret of Lizhou!"
One of the elders spoke sternly.
Liu Longyue's identity has been exposed. Just now, the young sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect came to their door, revealing Liu Longyue's identity and hoping that they would hand her over.
"That young sect leader also came with orders; he wouldn't deceive us!"
"Liu Longyue, if you reveal the secret of Lizhou, we may return the child to you out of consideration for our past relationship. Don't be so ungrateful!"
"Hehe, that's right. If you continue to be stubborn, we will hand that little beast over to the young sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Do you know what will happen then?"
The elders within the Holy Path Domain sneered, but Liu Longyue's nominal master, a female Saint King, couldn't help but speak up, "Aren't you all going too far? She's just a girl, pregnant, who came to the Northern Region and suffered so much, and you..."
“Junior Sister Qiushui, you are too kind. The secrets of Lizhou are of great importance and must not fall into the hands of others. We have also sent intelligence to Peach Blossom Mountain in Zhongzhou. They demanded that we interrogate them to find out the whereabouts of the treasure of Lizhou.”
"Yes, we don't know who is behind the Myriad Swords Sect, but what the Myriad Swords Sect wants is not the treasure, but Liu Longyue herself. Don't worry, we won't do anything to her. As long as she tells us the whereabouts of the treasure, we will let her go. Otherwise, don't blame us for not showing any mercy."
As they were talking, a spy whispered to the ancient sage, "According to intelligence, it is suspected that the Holy Emperor of the Central Plains has arrived at the Purple Dew Academy."
"you sure?"
"It's absolutely true. It's said that the person fought a great battle against the Holy King in Taiping City and used the aura of the Imperial Way. It should be Chen Futu."
"Good, good, he actually came in person."
The middle-aged man chuckled three times, his previous hostile attitude completely changed, and he became kind and gentle towards Liu Longyue. "Alright, since you don't know, we won't pursue this matter. You should prepare well for the two competitions in the middle of the year and win glory for Peach Blossom Palace. As a reward, we will return the child to you then. Anyway, you will be cultivating during this period and will not have time to take care of the child."
"Disciple understands..."
Liu Longyue staggered to her feet, her eyes red, and looked pleadingly at the Autumn Water Saint King.
The latter gritted his teeth and said to the middle-aged man, "Ancestor, why don't I, as the master, help Yue'er take care of the child, so that she won't be distracted from her cultivation?"
"Okay, then the child will be in your care. Please keep an eye on him."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the threat was self-evident: if Qiu Shui dared to hand over the child, he would kill her!
Qiu Shui was startled and quickly avoided the middle-aged man's sinister gaze before agreeing to the job.
After the master and apprentice left, the middle-aged man explained the current situation.
The elders burst into laughter. "That little bastard Chen Futu actually came to the Northern Region in person. That's perfect! We couldn't do anything about him in Lizhou, but now that he's delivered himself to our doorstep, seeing his wife at the inter-sect exchange conference, are we still afraid he won't show up?"
“That’s right. As long as he shows up, we can take him down. And as the only emperor of Lizhou, he must know the whereabouts of that thing!”
"If we obtain that item, we may be able to return to Peach Blossom Mountain in Central Plains and obtain a great opportunity!"
A sinister laugh echoed throughout the hall.
Liu Longyue, feeling completely lost, followed Qiu Shui back to the mountain peak where they were.
Looking at her haggard face, Qiu Shui couldn't open his mouth for a moment.
Liu Longyue said sadly, "Then I'll have to trouble Master to take care of that child."
"Don't worry, my disciple. With me here, I will risk my life to prevent anyone from harming my grand-disciple."
Unlike the other elders of Peach Blossom Palace, Qiu Shui was very fond of Liu Longyue and always regarded her as her daughter. The scene just now made her angry, but with the ancestor in front of her, she was helpless. She could only hope that the ancestor would keep his word and return the child to Liu Longyue after she finished the competition.
"Elder, Wan Feng, the young sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, requests an audience."
Suddenly, a disciple arrived.
Qiu Shui's face darkened. "Let him come over."
