Ba Dong looked at Cadjo, then he nodded and said, "Cadjo, your performance this time was very good. Come, let me introduce you. This is the Cultivation Realm's Western Cold City's genius, Li Chuchen. He's also a participant in the Six Realms Hegemony Competition. This time, he managed to get tenth place in the Cultivation Realm's internal qualifiers."
When Ba Dong said that Li Chuchen got tenth place, he wasn't being sarcastic. This was a compliment. Compared to the Machine Field, being tenth place in the Cultivation Realm was a lot more important. It must be known that being tenth place in the Cultivation Realm was equivalent to being tenth in the Six Realms Hegemony Competition. In the Six Realms Hegemony Competition, very few people could break this rule.
Cadjo was originally angry at Ba Dong's tone. But after hearing Ba Dong's introduction, Cadjo couldn't help but be angry.
Although the Machine Field and the Cultivation Realm had their occasional friction, the two realms still interacted with each other. In fact, there were a lot of exchanges between the two realms. It's just that the Cultivation Realm always had the upper hand in these exchanges. Moreover, they were in a leading position.
Because the Six Realms Hegemony Competition was about to begin, Cadjo had a certain understanding of the Cultivation Realm's geniuses. Li Chuchen was one of the names that he had heard.
Li Chuchen, also known as the Sky Frost Sword, was a genius who had ascended from the Western Cold City in the last four years. Although it had only been four years since he ascended, he was now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Moreover, he had a high-grade magic weapon in his hand that the Western Cold City's City Lord had given him, the Sky Frost Sword. He had relied on this sword to slowly make a name for himself.
The Western Cold City wasn't a small force in the Cultivation World, it was one of the major forces in the Cultivation World. It had tens of millions of disciples, more than a million inner disciples, and about ten thousand core disciples. In addition to the elders and other experts, the strength of the Western Cold City was definitely one of the top in the Cultivation World.
Although Western Cold City only had about 10 thousand core disciples, these disciples were very strong. The core disciples of the Cultivation Realm and the core members of the Machine Field were two completely different things.
In the Machine Field, the core members of a family were generally people of the family. No matter how strong you are, as long as you have the blood of an important member of the family, you would be a core member of the family. Because the Machine Field didn't pay much attention to strength, there were some families with weak core members.
However, the Cultivation Realm wasn't the same. In the Cultivation Realm, everything was based on strength. Before reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, only Outer Court Disciples would have the qualifications to become Inner Court Disciples. Inner Court Disciples were generally composed of Foundation Establishment Disciples. If one could reach the Golden Core Stage, then one would have the qualifications to become a Core Disciple. And a Core Disciple of a sect would have the strength to fight against a fleet of the Machine Field.
But Li Chuchen was able to become a Foundation Establishment Stage expert in less than four years after his ascension and was promoted to an inner court disciple of the Western Cold City. This in itself was not a very great thing. It could be said that Li Chuchen was a once-in-a-century genius in the cultivation world.
Because of this, although Li Chuchen was only 10th in the Machine Field's qualifier, Cadjo didn't dare neglect him. He immediately bowed and said, "So it's Young Hero Li. Cadjo has been impolite. I didn't expect Young Hero Li to grace the Ashley Family with his presence. This is a great blessing for the Ashley Family."
Li Chuchen didn't give Cadjo any face. He just snorted and then said, "I heard that there's a genius in your family. He ascended less than a year ago and became the champion of the Machine Field's qualifiers. Hahaha. The Machine Field's strength is getting worse and worse. Someone who ascended less than a year ago can already dominate the Machine Field. It's ridiculous that you're holding a celebration banquet. Don't you think it's too absurd?" Cadjo nodded and said, "You're a genius who ascended less than a year ago?
Isn't it ridiculous? "Upon hearing Li Chuchen's words, Cadjo's expression changed. Then he turned his head to Ba Dong. A smile flashed on Ba Dong's dark face.
Cadjo wasn't angry at Li Chuchen's impoliteness. People from the Cultivation Realm have always looked down on people from the Machine Field. This wasn't strange. The reason why Cadjo's expression changed was because Li Chuchen mentioned Zhao Hai. Moreover, Li Chuchen seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhao Hai. If Li Chuchen was really dissatisfied with Zhao Hai, then he might challenge Zhao Hai. Then Zhao Hai would be in danger. Naturally, the Water Spirit Temple was behind this matter.
When he thought of this, Cadjo couldn't help but hate the Water Spirit Temple even more. He didn't expect the Water Spirit Temple to be so intolerant. Zhao Hai was very strong. If he participated in the Six Realms Beginner Competition, then he would certainly bring benefits to the Machine Field. However, the Water Spirit Temple actually wanted to cripple Zhao Hai in order to retaliate. This would definitely hurt those close to them and make their enemies happy. They didn't think about the big picture at all.
Although he thought of this, Cadjo still suppressed his anger. Then he politely said to Li Chuchen, "My Ashley Family's strength naturally can't enter Young Hero Li's eyes. It's precisely because my Ashley Family hasn't achieved any decent results that we decided to celebrate. Young Hero Li, please don't laugh at us."
It wasn't that Cadjo wanted to be humble. If it was another occasion, he wouldn't have been so polite to Li Chuchen. After all, Li Chuchen was just a disciple of Western Cold City. Moreover, he was also a Cultivator. Even if Cadjo offended Li Chuchen, Li Chuchen might not dare to do anything to him. After all, this matter was related to the Machine Field and the Cultivation Realm.
The reason why Cadjo was so polite was mainly because he wanted to divert Li Chuchen's attention. He wanted Li Chuchen to stop challenging Zhao Hai.
Cadjo was a wily old fox in the Jianghu. From Li Chuchen's words, he could tell that Li Chuchen didn't come with good intentions. Although Li Chuchen was from the Cultivation Realm and didn't dare to go to war with a Great Family of the Machine Field, if he challenged Zhao Hai, then even if he killed Zhao Hai, the Ashley Family wouldn't be able to do anything. This was because the Ashley Family didn't dare to go to war with Western Cold City.
Li Chuchen alone wasn't scary, what was scary was the force behind him. Western Cold City was very powerful. If the Ashley Family really did something to Li Chuchen, then Western Cold City would certainly retaliate against the Ashley Family. When the time comes, nobody in the Machine Field would dare to stand up for the Ashley Family. After all, nobody wanted to offend a force like Western Cold City.
It can be said that the Water Spirit Temple's move was very ruthless. They didn't come forward to deal with Zhao Hai, but instead sent Li Chuchen. If Li Chuchen really challenged Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai would have to accept the challenge. This was the rule of the Machine Field.
The people of the Machine Field have always been suppressed by the Cultivation Realm. However, the people of the Machine Field also had their own dignity. If the Cultivation Realm wanted to deal with Zhao Hai, then the Machine Field would certainly come forward for Zhao Hai. This was because the Machine Field could say that the Cultivation Realm was bullying the weak. But if a newcomer came to challenge Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai would have to accept the challenge. If Zhao Hai didn't accept the challenge, then he would lose face for the Machine Field. The Machine Field would rather have Zhao Hai accept Li Chuchen's challenge and die than to see Zhao Hai running away like a coward. This was the dignity of the Machine Field.
The Water Spirit Temple saw this point. Therefore, they asked Li Chuchen to come forward and challenge Zhao Hai. In the Water Spirit Temple's view, Zhao Hai snatched the first place in the qualifiers from their hands. Because of this, the Water Spirit Temple didn't get what they wanted. Therefore, they used this method.
It was also a coincidence that Li Chuchen was now an inner disciple of Western Cold City. Moreover, he was going to participate in the Six Realms Beginner Competition. Therefore, he shouldn't be running around. The reason why Li Chuchen came here was because the Water Spirit Temple had something that he needed. This thing was the Heavenly One Divine Water.
The Heavenly One Divine Water was a treasure in the Cultivation Realm. Although there weren't many of them, this thing was very beneficial to Li Chuchen's cultivation. Moreover, Li Chuchen's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, so he wanted to experience it. Therefore, he personally went to the Water Spirit Temple to ask for the Heavenly One Divine Water.
The Heavenly One Divine Water was very important to the Water Spirit Temple. But since Li Chuchen asked for it, they weren't reluctant. After all, this way, Li Chuchen would owe them a favor. If Li Chuchen's cultivation improved because of the Heavenly One Divine Water, then he would be able to achieve good results in the Six Realms Beginner Competition. Naturally, the Water Spirit Temple would have no reason to refuse.
Li Chuchen's situation was similar to Lei Xiaotian. They grew up under the praise of others. Because of this, they were very arrogant. Ba Dong saw this point, so he made a small mistake. He provoked Li Chuchen to come to the Ashley Family's banquet to challenge Zhao Hai.
Ba Dong also knew that doing this would bring trouble to the Water Spirit Temple. After all, this was tantamount to colluding with outsiders to deal with the Machine Field. However, he didn't care about that right now. He just wanted to kill Zhao Hai.
The reason why Ba Dong was so angry was because of Streep's strength. Moreover, Ba Dong was the one who nurtured her. In order for Streep's strength to increase as soon as possible, Ba Dong put in a lot of effort. He wanted Streep to get first place in the qualifiers. This way, Ba Dong's status in the Water Spirit Temple would be higher. Maybe one day, he would become the Archbishop of the temple.
But all of this was destroyed by Zhao Hai. Because of this, Ba Dong hated Zhao Hai to the bone. Now that Li Chuchen came to his door, how could Ba Dong let go of such a good opportunity? Although it would be troublesome afterwards, as long as he can get rid of Zhao Hai, it would be worth it.
Moreover, a dead genius was no longer a genius. As long as Zhao Hai dies, the Ashley Family wouldn't be able to achieve good results in the Six Realms Beginner Competition. It would be impossible for the Ashley Family to rise smoothly. The Ashley Family's allies wouldn't help them. But Streep was still alive. As long as Streep can achieve good results in the Six Realms Beginner Competition, then the Ashley Family's allies would become allies of the Water Spirit Temple.
