Chapter 904 (2/2)

If the Tianyuan Region ended up last place again, it would be an unrecoverable blow to the Tianyuan Region’s reputation .

But what could they do?

They had no one to blame but themselves for being less skilled .

While countless people in the Tianyuan Region were feeling hopeless, something else suddenly happened that caused the entire Tianyuan Region to curse in anger .

The source of this matter was the neighboring top-tier faction, the Tri-Mountain Alliance!

The Tri-Mountain Alliance used to be three first-cla.s.s factions of Hunyuan Heaven . These three factions subsequently allied together, forming the Tri-Mountain Alliance . In turn, their strength soared, leaping from the first-cla.s.s level to the apex, making them a top faction second only to the nine regions .

As their power grew, their ambition naturally followed . They began to covet the status of the nine regions, desiring to elevate themselves to such a level .

However, the structure of the nine regions had already been fixed for countless years . How could it be easy for a new faction to join their ranks? Hence, the Tri-Mountain Alliance could only wait patiently till a chance presented itself . Their waiting finally bore fruit in the form of supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s disappearance . Without its leader, the Tianyuan Region’s strength began to wane, while the Tri-Mountain Alliance started to stir restlessly .

In recent years, the Tri-Mountain Alliance had been constantly challenging the Tianyuan Region’s dignity in all areas, making their ambition known to all .

In response to such provocation, the Tianyuan Region was naturally extremely angry . They had nothing but disdain towards this new faction . If supreme sovereign Cang Yuan were still around, the Tri-Mountain Alliance would not dare to look them in the eye!

This situation was truly akin to a dog bullying an injured tiger!

The Tianyuan Region refused to back down or compromise . Hence, the conflicts between both sides grew increasingly intense over the years, deepening the enmity between them .

This time, the Tri-Mountain Alliance began stirring things after the announcement of the nine regions tournament . Their goal was obvious: they were after the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the nine regions tournament because, according to the rules, only the nine regions were allowed to partic.i.p.ate .

But other factions were not without any chances . If they could defeat the Divine Dwelling stage representative of any of the nine regions, they would win the right to partic.i.p.ate from that region .

This rule was originally set to motivate the nine regions . If one’s right to partic.i.p.ate was lost, it would be a ma.s.sive loss of face .

However, having the right to partic.i.p.ate s.n.a.t.c.hed away had never happened before . After all, no faction would willingly offend the nine regions . Hence, even if a super genius appeared, they would rather keep their heads low than challenge the dignity of the nine regions .

But this time, the Tri-Mountain Alliance had no such intention .

As such, they sent a challenge letter to the Tianyuan Region not long after the tournament’s announcement .

Countless copies were dispersed all over the Tianyuan Region and even to the other regions . For a time, this matter became the hottest topic in the Tianyuan Region and the neighboring lands .

The challenge letter was sent by the Divine Dwelling List’s rank-nine expert, the super dark horse Chen Xuandong, whose reputation had soared recently in Hunyuan Heaven .

The contents of the challenge letter were simple and direct and filled with confidence and aggressiveness .

“Chen Xuandong of the Tri-Mountain Alliance requests chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan of the Tianyuan Region to yield his position!”
