When Jianchen returned to the Soaring Clouds Peak, the entire place was silent. With his sharp senses, he discovered that neither Zhuo Feng nor Han Xin were on the Soaring Clouds Peak.
He glanced into the distance and discovered that there were quite a few Radiant Saint Masters of various strengths flying in the direction of the Sky Gazing Peak with lightning speed from the other mountains.
Jianchen immediately went up to stop a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore and asked about the situation.
The Radiant Saint Master stopped by Jianchen was a young woman. After hearing Jianchen's words, she immediately looked at Jianchen with an extremely strange gaze. She said, "Ah! Don't you know? The lord of the Soaring Clouds Peak and the lord of the Snowfall Peak are fighting on the Sky Gazing Peak right now. I heard they're fighting over a spot as one of the nine retainers. "
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes when he heard that. After clasping his fist at the young woman, he did not stop at all. A pair of Radiant Wings appeared on his back, and he hurried towards the Sky Gazing Peak as quickly as he could.
Jianchen pushed his speed to the limit along the way. With his one-colored soulcore, he actually constantly surpassed Radiant Saint Masters with three-colored soulcores, causing many Radiant Saint Masters to raise their eyebrows.
"Who is this person? From his cultivation, he seems to only have a one-colored soulcore. How is he so shockingly fast …"
"He can actually use the Radiant Wings to such an extent. Does he really only have a one-colored soulcore …"
"The person who just surpassed us seems to be Chang Yang of the Soaring Clouds Peak …"
"What? He's Chang Yang? The person who's rumored to have mastered Radiant Saint Force? "
…
Cries constantly rang out in the surroundings, but Jianchen ignored them all. He only hurried along as quickly as he could, flying past mountain after mountain before finally arriving at the Sky Gazing Peak.
At this moment, the huge square on the Sky Gazing Peak was filled with people. Many Radiant Saint Masters of various strengths had gathered there. A huge ring hovered in the centre of the square. Jianchen saw Han Xin in the ring with a single glance as he fought an intense battle with a skinny, middle-aged man.
The suspended arena was a supreme quality saint artifact. There was a powerful energy barrier around the arena that could easily withstand the battle of a late Divine King.
At this moment, the battle between Han Xin and the lord of the Snowfall Peak had reached its climax. The Laws of the Hallowed crisscrossed around the two of them, colliding time and time again, erupting with powerful ripples of energy.
The ripples of energy were all blocked by the energy barrier around the ring, so their battle was unable to harm the spectating Radiant Saint Masters at all.
The two of them clashed extremely quickly. A few of the weaker Radiant Saint Masters were dazzled by the sight. They were unable to keep up with the speed of the battle at all.
Jianchen frowned as he watched the battle. With his level of cultivation, he could naturally see the battle in the ring clearly. He could tell with a single glance that Han Xin was quite a lot weaker than the lord of the Snowfall Peak. He clearly showed signs of defeat now. Defeat was only a matter of time.
"The lord of the Snowfall Peak should have reached the peak of early seven-colored soulcore," thought Jian Chen. The lord of the Snowfall Peak was equivalent to the peak of early Divine King, only a step away from mid Divine King. On the other hand, Han Xin had only become a Divine King recently.
As expected, before long, the lord of the Snowfall Peak struck Han Xin in the chest with a palm strike imbued with the Laws of the Hallowed. He was knocked away, slamming heavily against the energy barrier around the ring. He was unable to climb back to his feet.
"The lord of the Snowfall Peak, Zhou Yuan, is victorious!" The lord of the Sky Gazing Peak's voice rang out in a timely manner, announcing the end of the battle.
After that, the energy shield of the suspended arena opened, and the thin and small Snowfall Peak Master, who was dressed in white, walked down the arena with a red face amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the thousands of disciples.
Han Xin, on the other hand, was lying on the suspended platform, covered in blood. He was severely injured.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher!"
Zhuo Feng and Bai Yu, who had been waiting below the ring for quite some time, immediately flew up. They looked at the heavily injured Han Xin with sorrow.
Jianchen arrived on the ring as soon as possible as well. He said nothing and directly used a Radiant Saint Technique to heal Han Xin's wounds.
Both Bai Yu and Zhuo Feng were slightly surprised when they saw Jianchen suddenly appear. Even the gloomy eyes of the heavily injured Han Xin lit up slightly.
However, they were clearly in no mood to catch up right now.
"Han Xin, you think you can compete with me for a spot? Why don't you take a look at yourself first? Hmph, you overestimate yourself." At this moment, the lord of the Snowfall Peak, who had already left the ring, suddenly looked back and sneered.
"Han Xin, you should feel fortunate that this is the Radiant Saint Hall. If we were outside, I might not be able to kill you due to the rules of the sacred hall, but I would definitely take away half of your life." The lord of the Snowfall Peak's voice was filled with arrogance. He did not seem to take Han Xin seriously at all.
Afterwards, the lord of the Snowfall Peak looked at Jianchen, and his gaze became extremely cold. Although this was the first time he had seen Jianchen, how could he not treat the person who had injured his second disciple, Wen Cheng?
However, Jianchen only had a one-colored soulcore, so he was no different from an ant in his eyes. With his status, there was naturally no need for him to speak to Jianchen.
Just when the lord of the Snowfall Peak wanted to look away, Jianchen just happened to look over and meet his eyes.
However, it was this glance that made the heart of the peak master of the Snowfall Peak jump violently. He seemed to have an ominous feeling in his heart.
But soon afterwards, the lord of the Snowfall Peak laughed self-deprecatingly. He thought, "What's wrong with me? Have I been frightened by a mere disciple with a one-colored soulcore?"
The lord of the Snowfall Peak did not care too much. He left under the admiring gazes of his disciples.
On the Soaring Clouds Peak, Han Xin had already been escorted back by Jianchen, Bai Yu, and Zhuo Feng. At this moment, Han Xin sat in his tiny wooden hut on the top of the Soaring Clouds Peak as he healed with Radiant Saint Force.
"Junior sister, what's going on? Why has teacher become involved with the lord of the Snowfall Peak? "Jianchen asked Bai Yu softly from outside the hut.
Bai Yu looked at the wooden hut before her and said with a heavy heart, "It's all for the nine retainers of the five candidates. Among the five candidates, Donglin Yan Xue still lacks a final retainer. The battle between teacher and the lord of the Snowfall Peak is actually for the final retainer of Donglin Yan Xue."
Jianchen frowned when he heard that. He suddenly sensed that something was wrong. He said, "Strange. Aren't the nine retainers only chosen by the Chosen Saint?"
"I heard that there are some changes to the Chosen Saint's Battle this time around. It seems that the five Chosen Saints all have the right to choose their nine retainers. This seems to be related to the first round of the Chosen Saint's Battle," said Bai Yu.
"In other words, the nine retainers of Donglin Yan Xue have all been decided?" Jianchen asked.
"That's right. I heard from my master that among the nine retainers of Donglin Yan Xue, there's only one.
Aside from the lord of the Snowfall Peak, the other eight retainers all possess mid seven-colored soulcores, "said Bai Yu. The master she spoke of was naturally the elder who had taken her away from the Soaring Clouds Peak.
