Chapter 654: Challenge
The vast majority of the people in the room felt that this upstart branch head had no chance whatsoever, but they were all hoping he would put up a fight. The many younger talents in the room were eager to see how powerful their Clan Leader was, as the majority had never seen him fight. They were eager to see how strong such a person was that even the mighty Great Elder Xie wouldnt dare to battle with him. The Great Elder was quite violent and many here were familiar with how terrifying she could be. She got into fights all the time, and since they had seen her strength they were really curious of what would stop her from fighting.
The Great Elder of Xie locked eyes with Sage for what seemed like an eternity, but actually only amounted to half a minute. Then she abruptly broke eye contact and turned to face the Jinxi Patriarch. She looked at the old man with a confident smile and nodded her head, The Xie formally issues the challenge. Would you like to accept it, or just directly step down instead? I promise we Xie will not treat the Jinxi any worse than theyve treated us in the past.
There was a wave of gasps and exclamations as the Great Elder confirmed that the challenge was official. There were many who were wondering what exactly she could be thinking. Was this Lang Sheng a secret weapon that was only now revealed? Was he even from the Lang Clan?
There were many hushed discussions about whether this was a very well laid trap, or a foolish mistake, but in truth the decision was far simpler. For Great Elder Xie she didnt yet have the confidence to face the Jinxi Patriarch directly. The two of them were constantly chasing treasures to keep increasing their power for the last few decades. For her, being unable to issue another challenge for a decade wasnt really an issue, she was merely risking the reduction in resources. It would be troublesome if Lang Sheng failed, but she accepted for one reason: the current look on the Jinxi Patriarchs face.
The old man had lost his calm. The Jinxi Patriarch had always tried to keep a calm and placid exterior, like a transcendent expert that was showing them all great favor by gracing them with his presence. Yet, at this time, his act was ruined. All those in the room, the higher ups of the clan, were all treated to the twisting of his features. The rage in his eyes as not only was his position challenged, but he was also insulted at the same time. Everyone in the Clan knew how the Xie had been heavily punished in the last few decades for challenging the Jinxis decisions time and time again. They all knew that the old man was approaching the end of his lifespan and that he wanted to suppress the Xie to such an extent that they wouldnt attempt to take over once he was gone. To treat the Jinxi as theyd treated the Xie was actually a provocation.
With the challenge officially delivered, there was only one more decision to be made: who would the Jinxi nominate as their own champion? Surely this Lang Sheng had no chance against the Jinxi Patriarch, but the next strongest person in their faction was Jinxi Po. He was a Nascent Soul of the third stage, which was quite powerful, but theyd all just seen him attack Lang Sheng without any effect. Would they finally get to see the Jinxi Patriarch fight?
The challenge has been formally placed by the Xie Faction. Do they choose to nominate the Lang branch head as their champion?
I dont have any death wish. Ill defeat that decrepit old cricket and you will reform the Chong Clan. Now, I certainly dont expect the Clan to suddenly turn honorable and righteous, but at the very least they shouldnt kill others over the sake of an internal conflict and also not abandon their own for benefits, or the lack thereof.
The Great Elder looked at him curiously, wondering if he had a screw loose. Was this man delusional, or was he really as powerful as he claimed to be? She said as much.
What makes you think you can defeat that mummy?
All those thousands of years of experience might seem intimidating to others, but in my opinion it only shows how weak he is. Hes almost ten thousand years old and yet he still cant break through that final barrier to face heavenly tribulation.
Sage didnt realize he was also insulting the Great Elder, as she was also many thousands of years old, but her face merely twitched. She held herself back from raging at him, at least this once. She didnt want to accidentally injure him when that important battle was only a few days away.
Only, she didnt realize that Sage was actually insulting himself. The Soul Clone had already spent a few thousand years training, yet it also didnt make much advancement in his understanding of the laws. The difference was that Sage was quite confident in the tactics he had developed during his long life. He was always the weak and untalented one, so he was quite adept at using unusual ways to increase his combat power. Even if his cultivation had stagnated, he was still quite confident he could face the Jinxi Patriarch that was only three stages stronger than himself.
A half-saint? Is that so impressive?
