On the majestic Tianfeng Pavilion Square, figures soared through the air, all gazing up at the thunderclouds several miles away, which were brewing terrifying crimson tribulation lightning.
Who is that?
Suddenly, many people noticed that a handsome man was flying rapidly from the peak below the thundercloud. In no time, he passed through the protective barrier at the edge of the Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion and arrived on the square.
"Uncle-Master".
"Senior brother."
"Chi Yuan".
As soon as the handsome man appeared in the square, three stunningly beautiful women immediately went to greet him: Wenren Bingying, Ning Wan'er, and Yunmeng.
"Chi Yuan? He's that Chi Yuan from the Divine Firmament Sect?"
Yunmeng's call of Chi Yuan drew the attention of most people around them, who scrutinized him with strange expressions.
If we were to name the most famous figure in the Moon Reflection Sect over the past year, it would undoubtedly be Ye Chen.
But if we're talking about who was the most mysterious and controversial person in the past year, it would definitely be Chi Yuan.
Since Chi Yuan joined the sect, apart from contacting a few people in the first few days, he has been in seclusion ever since, never showing his face in public, which has shrouded him in mystery.
Of course, his mystery doesn't stem from his seclusion, but rather from the fact that he's so highly publicized and doesn't appear in public, making it impossible for anyone who wants to know about him to find out anything, which is what makes him seem so mysterious.
Actually, not many people paid attention to Chi Yuan at the beginning. It was only when those who went to watch the battle at the five-year agreement that they started to pay attention to Chi Yuan.
It wasn't until later, when the Shenxiao Sect clarified the rumors about Chi Yuan and revealed the truth that their grandmaster had conspired with Ye Chen to frame Chi Yuan, that the people of the Yingyue Sect began to pay attention to Chi Yuan. They learned from those who had watched the five-year agreement battle that Chi Yuan had changed his name to Fu Feng and joined the Yingyue Sect under Feng Yaoyao's tutelage.
Because of Chi Yuan's many unfortunate experiences, the disciples of Yingyue Sect initially felt quite sympathetic towards Chi Yuan, and many people spoke out for Chi Yuan. On the other hand, they verbally attacked Ye Chen, mocked him, and despised him to the extreme.
However, as Ye Chen revealed his extraordinary talent over the past year, and Chi Yuan attracted a lot of hatred for various reasons, their reputations have now reversed. Ye Chen has become a peerless genius admired and even worshipped by everyone, while Chi Yuan is being cursed.
The male disciples, needless to say, and the female disciples, because of their admiration for Ye Chen, all had an emotional bias towards him, and naturally felt disgusted by Chi Yuan, who had a blood feud with Ye Chen.
It can be said that Chi Yuan is now disliked by both female disciples and hated by male disciples; both sides find him unpleasant.
At that moment, another golden beam of light flew in like a rainbow.
As the light dissipated, the four figures were revealed. One of them was none other than Ye Chen, another figure of interest. The other three were Holy Lord Gan Hong, Crown Prince Gan Jing, and Princess Gan Yang.
"Ye Chen is here too, this is going to be interesting!"
Ye Chen's appearance immediately stirred up a sense of anticipation in people's hearts. Everyone was eager to see what sparks would fly when these two former fellow disciples, now mortal enemies, met again.
"Could this person be Chi Yuan?"
Ye Chen didn't see Chi Yuan at first, but he spotted Yun Meng's beautiful face. His gaze first fell on Chi Yuan. He squinted and looked him over for a moment, then put one hand behind his back and strode towards the four of them. He greeted Yun Meng with a warm smile and said, "Fairy Yun Meng."
Gan Jing did not meet Yun Meng after arriving at Yingyue Sect. He had already met Yun Meng three years after Yun Meng and Chi Yuan broke off their engagement. During that time, he had verbally proposed to Yun Meng, intending to take her as his concubine.
(Mentioned in Chapter 15)
Seeing Gan Jing approaching, Yun Meng's eyes turned slightly cold, and she turned her head away, ignoring him.
Despite being ignored, Gan Jing didn't seem to care much. With an air of aloofness like a king, he looked at Chi Yuan and said, "This must be the renowned Young Master Chi Yuan, right? Oh no, I should call you Young Master Fu Feng now."
Hearing Gan Jing's strange tone, Chi Yuan said indifferently, "What advice do you have for me?"
Gan Jing raised an eyebrow and said, "Shouldn't Young Master Fu Feng ask about my name and identity first? Such cold words are rather impolite."
Chi Yuan could tell that Gan Jing had come with ill intentions, so he wasn't going to bother with any politeness and said coldly, "I have no interest in knowing who you are."
"I had heard that Young Master Fufeng was a very polite and well-mannered person, but now it seems that this is not entirely true."
Gan Jing chuckled sarcastically, about to say something more, when Yun Meng coldly retorted, "Those who respect others will always be respected, and those who insult others will always be insulted. What right does a petty person without a heart of respect have to be respected by others?"
Gan Jing's face stiffened, a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled apologetically and said, "What Fairy Yunmeng said is very true. It was I who was impolite."
As he spoke, he bowed to Chi Yuan and said, "My name is Gan Jing, the eldest prince of the Great Gan Kingdom. It is an honor to meet Young Master Fu Feng."
Chi Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "I have no such honor. It would be best for the Crown Prince to keep his distance from me. I have no desire to curry favor or show any respect to the royal family. If the Crown Prince displeases me, I'm afraid it will put you in a very difficult position."
Upon hearing this, Gan Jing's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He decided to drop the pretense and coldly snorted, "I really want to see how you embarrass this prince!"
After saying that, a vast and majestic golden spiritual power burst forth, condensing into a magnificent and awe-inspiring phantom of a true dragon. Then, Gan Jing's fist violently shook the space, carrying the sound of a dragon's roar as it blasted towards Chi Yuan.
It was the True Dragon Saint King Fist that Gan Zhen had once used.
Faced with this punch, Chi Yuan simply raised his hand casually, as if shooing away a fly, and unleashed a tremendous force that shattered Gan Jing's punch in an instant. Gan Jing was also sent flying backward by the impact of the force.
"Cough cough..."
Gan Jing took more than a dozen steps to finally release his strength and stabilize his body. His face suddenly turned red, and his closed mouth bulged, as if he was about to spit blood. However, he raised his hand and pressed it hard against his chest, forcibly suppressing the blood back down.
He was shocked. With his cultivation at the seventh level of the Spirit King realm, the True Dragon Saint King Fist was powerful enough to threaten even a peak Spirit King. Yet Chi Yuan had easily neutralized it and left him in such a sorry state. Just what kind of strength did this guy possess?
“Prince Gan Jing, I have already made my feelings clear. If you still refuse to give up your thoughts of me, you will only end up humiliating yourself like you just did.”
Yunmeng added insult to injury at the opportune moment.
These words were like a knife to Gan Jing's heart. The blood that had been suppressed was suddenly violently rebounded by Yun Meng's words. With a "poof," he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood mist, and his breath quickly weakened.
"Royal brother?!"
Seeing this, Gan Yang cried out in distress, then stepped forward and angrily shouted at Chi Yuan, "What kind of skill is it to bully my royal brother? If you're so capable, why don't you fight my husband!"
