Chapter 94: Gongsun Huaiyu’s Shift from Darkness to Light, a Challenge from Su Tian
The entire Kunlun Sacred Ground was sounding alarm bells, with countless masters gathering at its gates.
This naturally included many prodigies who came to participate in the Heavenly Heroes Conference.
Since Chen Changsheng was captured, the Kunlun Sacred Ground had indefinitely postponed the conference.
And they proclaimed that unless Chen Changsheng was found, the conference would not take place.
The many prodigies did not oppose the actions of the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
This was because these prodigies also needed to prove themselves in front of the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
Everyone trusted in the strength of the Kunlun Sacred Ground, which was why they traveled from afar to take part in the conference.
However, it was quite another matter for a prodigy to be captured in the very den of the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
As a result, everyone questioned whether the Kunlun Sacred Ground had the ability to protect its prodigies.
Such a situation exceeded the understanding of the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
At this moment, Jiang Feng stepped forward with a cold face and said, “Demoness, release Chen Changsheng, and I will spare your life today.”
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Huaiyu immediately “fearfully” shrank behind Chen Changsheng.
“Gongsun, this person is very fierce!”
“Don’t be afraid, Elder Jiang is just worried for my safety.”
“Once I explain the situation, Elder Jiang will understand.”
Everyone: ???
What is going on between you two? It looks a bit strange, doesn’t it?
Seeing this, Jiang Feng frowned.
“Youth, what does this mean?”
“It’s nothing; she has shifted from darkness to light.”
Chen Changsheng casually gave an explanation, but these words left many prodigies wide-eyed.
Because this reasoning was simply too absurd; it was akin to saying someone captured Chen Changsheng.
After more than twenty days, he suddenly betrayed the sect that raised him and then mixed with Chen Changsheng.
Such a scenario was simply impossible.
Jiang Feng’s mouth twitched at such an absurd reason. However, for the sake of the bigger picture, he contained his emotions and said, “Don’t be afraid, young friend. This place has been surrounded by a net. No matter how capable this demoness is, she cannot escape.”
“Whether she uses spells against you or performs witchcraft, the Kunlun Sacred Ground has a way to ensure your safety.”
“Elder Jiang, you really misunderstand.”
“Miss Huaiyu has already shifted from darkness to light; I can guarantee that with my integrity.”
Faced with Jiang Feng’s words, Chen Changsheng still insisted that Gongsun Huaiyu had shifted from darkness to light.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng was too lazy to argue with Chen Changsheng and directly addressed Gongsun Huaiyu.
“What do you have to prove your loyalty in your shift from darkness to light?”
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Huaiyu, hiding behind Chen Changsheng, playfully smiled and said, “Jiang Feng, I have shifted from darkness to light, abandoning the Seventy-two Smoke Signals and joining Chen Gongsun.”
“I’m not joining the Kunlun Sacred Ground, so why should I give a loyalty token to it? If you don’t believe me, we just won’t participate in the Heavenly Heroes Conference.”
Saying this, Gongsun Huaiyu intended to pull Chen Changsheng away.
“Hmph!”
“Chen Changsheng can do as he pleases, but you absolutely cannot leave.”
As Jiang Feng’s voice fell, he directly grabbed Gongsun Huaiyu.
“Boom!”
Jiang Feng’s attack was intercepted by Chen Changsheng, who even pushed Jiang Feng back half a step with his formidable physique.
Faced with such a situation, not only the prodigies present raised their eyebrows, but Jiang Feng was also greatly surprised.
Chen Changsheng was able to deploy “Pattern of Fate,” prompting everyone to estimate his strength.
But who could have imagined that Chen Changsheng was strong enough to trade blows with Jiang Feng?
Although Jiang Feng had not used his full might in his earlier attack, Chen Changsheng had also shown remarkable composure!
“Elder Jiang, in holding the Heavenly Heroes Conference, the Kunlun Sacred Ground previously stated that as long as the age is appropriate, regardless of identity or status, anyone can participate.”
“But why are you now trying to stop Miss Gongsun from participating?”
“Or do you mean to say that such a vast Kunlun Sacred Ground is afraid of such a young girl?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Jiang Feng’s gaze darted back and forth between the two.
Chen Changsheng was extraordinary, and his background was mysterious; he must have significant power backing him.
If it were not for dire circumstances, the Kunlun Sacred Ground would not want to provoke such an unknown strong enemy.
Gongsun Huaiyu was a direct disciple of Wu Li; her coming here indicated she had some confidence.
Since the matter had gone this far, if the Kunlun Sacred Ground continued to insist, it might appear somewhat petty.
Thinking this, Jiang Feng spoke up, “Your words have merit, young friend.”
“The generosity of the Kunlun Sacred Ground is not something mere bandits can judge.”
“Miss Gongsun, known as one of the three beauties of the Central Courtyard, is indeed a top-notch prodigy and naturally qualifies to participate in the Heavenly Heroes Conference.”
“However, the Seventy-two Smoke Signals and the Kunlun Sacred Ground are deadly enemies; after the conference concludes, you should not meddle in this matter.”
Listening to the threat in Jiang Feng’s tone, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and replied, “The grievances between the Seventy-two Smoke Signals and the Kunlun Sacred Ground are indeed not something I wish to interfere in.”
“But one thing must be made clear: Miss Gongsun has already shifted from darkness to light; she is no longer a person of the Seventy-two Smoke Signals.”
“The Kunlun Sacred Ground surely wouldn’t make things difficult for a young person, right?”
“Ha!”
Jiang Feng sneered, “Of course not. After I chop off Wu Li’s dog head, if she remains unmoved, then what’s the difference if she has shifted from darkness to light?”
“The Heavenly Heroes Conference has been delayed long enough; now that you’ve returned, it can commence tomorrow.”
“You two, please proceed!”
With that, Jiang Feng stepped aside to clear a path.
Chen Changsheng and Gongsun Huaiyu swaggered in.
Watching Chen Changsheng’s retreating figure, countless prodigies felt a burning fighting spirit ignite within them.
The Kunlun Stone Workshop’s techniques were astonishing, and despite the Seventy-two Smoke Signals’ overwhelming force, participating in the Heavenly Heroes Conference and engaging Jiang Feng competitively without falling behind was no small feat.
Every event signaled to everyone that Chen Changsheng was an extraordinary existence.
Defeating such a peer was a dream achievement for countless prodigies.
…
Eastern Wastes Separate Courtyard.
Seeing the stunning beauty Chen Changsheng brought back, Ye Hensheng’s mouth twitched.
He had imagined numerous scenarios of Chen Changsheng’s return to the Kunlun Sacred Ground, but he had never envisioned this kind of scene!
“My room is fairly spacious; you can sleep in the one beside mine.”
Casually arranging Gongsun Huaiyu’s accommodations, Chen Changsheng turned to head back to his own room to rest.
At this moment, Su Tian blocked Chen Changsheng’s path.
“Brother Chen, you said that after I defeat the three beauties of the Central Courtyard, I could challenge you.”
“May I ask if I can challenge Miss Gongsun now?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng scratched his head, glancing at the eager Gongsun Huaiyu beside him.
“Do you want to fight too?”
“Young Master, the Heavenly Heroes Conference is for fighting; why would I come to the conference if not to fight?”
