The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2169 - 2158: Refusing Again! Changing the Sequence!

Chapter 2169: Chapter 2158: Refusing Again! Changing the Sequence!

Gradually.

Everyone present regained their senses.

The forces of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xiao Yao Palace, Demonic Flame Valley, the Murongs, and the Jins were all deep in thought.

Xue Wanqing and Zhao Xingtu and others were flushed with excitement, their feelings indescribable in words at this moment.

Standing with Xue Wanqing, Wang Xinghuai was not only incredibly shocked but began to doubt if Ye Chenfeng could truly be an Artifact Refiner. After all, Ye Chenfeng was already a Formation Master and an Eighth Grade Alchemist. If he was also an Artifact Refiner, it would drive everyone insane.

Inside the Array Magic Pavilion’s VIP room.

Yu Shiqing and Duan Dongyan fell silent one after another. Although Ye Chenfeng was not a Talisman Master, his identity as an Eighth Grade Alchemist was absolutely impressive. Even Gu Xin’er, who only cared about the man in the black mask, was slightly agape, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on Ye Chenfeng in the competition arena.

Ye Chenfeng’s achievements in formations and alchemy could be said to have reached the pinnacle in the Tian Xuan Realm.

In the audience seats, Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan gradually let go of their hidden cards. Their eyes were filled with rich, unrestrained amazement. Knowing Ye Chenfeng’s bone age, they realized that achieving the level of an Eighth Grade Alchemist at such a young age meant he might step into the rank of Supreme Alchemist before turning one hundred.

Who in the Ancient Era could achieve this? Not even those reaching Supreme Alchemist by a thousand years old managed it, let alone under a hundred.

Beneath the veils.

The light in Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan’s eyes grew more captivating as they recalled past instances of being taken advantage of by Ye Chenfeng.

The two proud maidens of heaven had never taken interest in any man. In this moment, they both had the same thought: if Ye Chenfeng were to become their man, they surprisingly wouldn’t feel any repulsion.

Jiang Caixuan whispered, "Wu Lingxiang, if you let Ye Chenfeng go to me, then I can agree to one condition of yours, or I can have my family compensate you greatly, enough to satisfy you."

Wu Lingxiang coldly replied, "Jiang Caixuan, do you think I would agree? The Jiangs lack Alchemists, and this guy is destined to become a Supreme Alchemist. Not even the Wus have a Supreme Alchemist, so save your breath for later. We’ll rely on our own abilities then."

As Jiang Caixuan and Wu Lingxiang geared up to vie for Ye Chenfeng.

In the competition arena.

Sun Changnian was fuming, yet he couldn’t explode because it was Liang Kangan who had challenged Ye Chenfeng. Now Liang Kangan was dead, and he couldn’t blame Ye Chenfeng. If he continued recklessly, he might become a joke since Ye Chenfeng was an Eighth Grade Alchemist.

Sect Master Hua Liukong of the Heavenly Sword Sect addressed Ye Chenfeng: "Young friend, our Heavenly Sword Sect doors are open to you. Would you consider joining us? I assure you, our sect will pour immense resources into grooming you. For this Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony, your participation doesn’t even matter."

An Eighth Grade Alchemist was no ordinary Fifth-Rank Alchemist, not to mention Ye Chenfeng was also a Formation Master.

Previously, Hua Changsheng approached Ye Chenfeng. Now, Hua Liukong personally spoke, highlighting his interest in Ye Chenfeng.

Not just the Heavenly Sword Sect, but even the Jins, Xiao Yao Palace, Demonic Flame Valley, and the Murongs reconsidered recruiting Ye Chenfeng.

The old ancestor of Xiao Yao Palace, Luo Qianjiang, said, "Ye Chenfeng, the previous discord between us, I can overlook it all. I don’t need your apology. If you join our Xiao Yao Palace, all past grievances will be written off."

The Family Head of the Jins, Jin Yangcai, also said without hesitation, "Ye Chenfeng, consider joining us."

It seemed Ye Chenfeng’s identity as an Eighth Grade Alchemist made Xiao Yao Palace eager to move past previous grievances.

Just as Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs were about to speak, Ye Chenfeng said, "Joining your sects probably isn’t as simple as it seems, right? Even if I agree to join one, you might find ways to control me."

"If you swear by your Martial Heart that you wouldn’t use any means to control me, I might consider joining one of your sects."

Swearing by Martial Heart.

That affects one’s disposition. Luo Qianjiang and others fell silent. Ye Chenfeng was right; once he joined them, they would control him, at least ensuring his life was in their hands. They wouldn’t swear by Martial Heart.

Even Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs remained silent. Recruiting Ye Chenfeng into their forces would inevitably come with certain checks to prevent unpredictability.

Seeing no one speaking, Ye Chenfeng continued, "It seems I guessed right. I will continue participating in the Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony. As top forces, you surely wouldn’t break the convention’s rules, right?"

Luo Qianjiang and others wished to crush Ye Chenfeng, but with so many cultivators present, the righteous ones couldn’t act openly against him.

Hua Liukong said, "Today’s events caused quite a stir. Originally, tomorrow and the day after were for the Artifact Refiner and Talisman Master finals. I think it would be better to change the sequence, first holding a Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony final to decide the two who advance to the ultimate showdown, then follow with the Artifact Refiner and Talisman Master finals."

"After those finals, we’ll have the ultimate showdown. What does everyone think?"

Luo Qianjiang agreed, "I agree with the change. Postponing the Artisan and Talisman Master finals for one day is fine, letting the Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony finalize the two contenders for the ultimate showdown."

Jin Yangcai immediately added, "Our Jins agree too. Tomorrow we can hold the Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony finals selections."

The Sect Masters of Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs eventually agreed with the change, upset internally that Ye Chenfeng wasn’t joining them.

After these five major forces decided on the change, Ye Chenfeng chuckled coldly inside, clearly seeing that some were impatient to kill him, unwilling to wait even two days.

With the finals of the Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony happening tomorrow, Ye Chenfeng would undoubtedly face one of the Five Great Sons. If he faced the talents of Xiao Yao Palace, the Heavenly Sword Sect, or the Jins, they might try to outright kill him.

The forces like the Xues, closely watching here, were overjoyed hearing Ye Chenfeng reject recruitment again and the finals moving up. They knew, barring any accident, tomorrow would be Ye Chenfeng’s dead day; being an Eighth Grade Alchemist was useless, as his strength was only in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Sun Changnian, with flames of fury in his heart, finally sighed in relief, understanding that to major sects, a genius not working for them wasn’t necessary in the world.

After announcing sequence changes for the competition.

The people from the Jins and other sects began to leave. Luo Qianjiang patted Luo Qibai’s shoulder, saying, "Qibai, let’s go too!"

Seeing Luo Qibai still stunned in place, Luo Qianjiang frowned, "Still our Xiao Yao Palace’s young master? Look at you. You only lost in alchemy. This world respects the strong. Alchemy is merely auxiliary. Crush him at tomorrow’s Tian Xuan Grand Ceremony finals. That’s what you should focus on now."

Hearing this, Luo Qibai indeed snapped back, losing the pallor on his face, glaring venomously at Ye Chenfeng, shouting, "You watch out. If you meet me tomorrow, I’ll show you the gap between us in strength."
