Chapter 905 Accep (1/2)

Countless people were shocked because they knew the significance behind the challenge. Previously, the Tri-Mountain Alliance had only provoked the Tianyuan Region on small issues, but this challenge letter was a borderline declaration of war.

Although the battle participants were merely the most outstanding Divine Dwelling stage practitioners of both camps, it was evident that the Tri-Mountain Alliance no longer feared offending the Tianyuan Region, which was once its big brother.

Since there was no chance of reconciliation, the subsequent clashes would only become increasingly intense.

This drew countless gazes. After all, a top-tier faction challenging one of the nine regions was very rarely seen in Hunyuan Heaven’s long history.

At the same time, it also made countless people sigh deeply. The Tianyuan Region had truly fallen in recent years. Otherwise, even if the Tri-Mountain Alliance was a top-tier faction, how could they possibly dare to stroke a tiger’s whiskers?

The Tri-Mountain Alliance had three Law Domain stage experts, whereas the Tianyuan Region had five.

There wasn’t a huge gap in strength between the apex forces on both sides. In addition, the Tri-Mountain Alliance had been experiencing rapid growth over the past few years, and even though their foundations still could not match the Tianyuan Region, they were not that much weaker than the Tianyuan Region as a whole.

If war were to break out between them, the Tianyuan Region would likely pay a terrible price even if they won.

More importantly, once the Tianyuan Region became weaker because of it, other top-tier factions in Hunyuan Heaven might begin to have ideas of challenging them. If that happened, what would the Tianyuan Region do?

Without a supreme sovereign, the Tianyuan Region had already lost its former transcendent status.

Hence, many knew that the Tri-Mountain Alliance was trying to feel out the Tianyuan Region this time, hoping to find out exactly how much of the region’s former might was left.

...

The entire Tianyuan Region was filled with anger.

The Tri-Mountain Alliance’s challenge angered countless people. After all, as members of the Tianyuan Region, they still had the pride of being one of the nine regions. Many years ago, before the Tri-Mountain Alliance had formed, those three first-class factions were merely subjects that bowed to the Tianyuan Region!

But now, the once little brother had turned on them. How could the people of the Tianyuan Region possibly endure such an outrage?

For a time, countless voices were directed towards the Tianyuan Utopia, wanting the higher-ups to display a power that would put the Tri-Mountain Alliance in their place.

How would the higher-ups of the Tianyuan Region respond?

Accept? But Chen Xuandong was ranked nine on the Divine Dwelling List and was currently the most dazzling super dark horse, his radiance far outclassing the new chief pavilion master’s. Since he dared to send a challenge letter so openly, he had to have unshakable confidence in himself.

If they accepted and Zhou Yuan lost, would the Tianyuan Region really have to give up their nine regions tournament participation rights?

If so, would the Tianyuan Region dare to show their face again?

But what if they refused?

One of the almighty nine regions refusing to acknowledge a challenge from a mere top-tier faction. What face would they have left?

Hence, a few of the more discerning individuals sighed inwardly. The challenge was a huge headache for the higher-ups of the Tianyuan Region.

...

Tianyuan Utopia, inside a conference hall.

Five figures were seated, each one maintaining their silence. However, a terrifying pressure was brewing in the hall.

These five figures were naturally the Tianyuan Region’s five grand elders.

The silence lasted for a long time before sect master Xuan Kun looked towards Chi Jing, pushing over the challenge letter in his hand as he indifferently asked, “How shall we deal with this matter? Do we accept or refuse?”

Chi Jing swept a glance at the challenge letter as a dangerous look surfaced on her fair face. “Since they dare to challenge us, why would we not dare to receive it?”
