Chapter 40 – The Four Major Forces (1/2)

Ch 40 – The Four Major Forces

The stadium was not as lively as one would think. Those that were attending apart from the two main contestants were the pivotal members of the four major forces of Tenglong country. If anyone of those four major forces were to merely stomp their feet, half the country of Tenglong would feel the tremors from their might.

The four major forces were all seated at the four corners of the stage; this was to avoid any unnecessary verbal disputes that may arise.

“Master, looks like Ming Sect really values this duel.” The Lei family’s elder said this while stroking his beard.

“That’s right, I’m just not sure if little Yu can win this duel. One need to know that his opponent is a leader of the main hall, his strength would at least be on the rank of a Fourth Order. No matter how talented little Yu is, it’s impossible for him to achieve the rank of the Fourth Order at his age” said Lei Yun Tian with concern.

“Master, in case of a last resort, should we make a move? Maybe when little Yu is in a pinch, that will help change his mind.”

“We’ll see what happens when the times comes.” Lei Yun Tian looked all around at the rest of the major forces entering the stadium. Amongst them included the representative of Celestial Court who was known as Elder Qing Feng, and followed behind him was his ten plus Celestial Court disciples.

At another entrance, Martial Sect’s Shangguan Xi Hong and several members of the ancient martial families were seen; this also included Nuo Yi Long and the rest. Ai Er and Nuo Hu were following behind the crowd of Martial Sect members, yet their eyes were scanning the crowd looking for Lei Yu’s whereabouts. Ever since their last meeting about a month and a bit ago, they have not even caught a glimpse of Lei Yu’s shadow all this time. Even finding no one at home when they went to his house, this made these two people closest to him very anxious. And this Xiao Fei also followed behind the crowd, his eyes never leaving the sight of Ai Er.

Near the easternmost entrance, a group of people with dark auras all dressed in black entered. Looking at them, the number of people should be in the one hundred plus range. All of these people respectfully followed behind a middle-aged man that did not look too strong, maybe even a bit frail looking. From the middle-aged man’s deep set of eyes, one could judge that he was not of simple status. The look on his eyes gave people the feeling of an aura of death, as if everything he saw were just corpses in his eyes. Following behind this middle-aged man was one of the main stars of today’s match, Cai Zhong. This entire month and a bit, Cai Zhong was concentrating on bonding with Blood Edge. Although he hasn’t grasped too much of the true essence of Blood Edge, but he at least was able to freely call it forth or store it away, and his strength had reached the late-stage of the Fourth Demonic Realm.

“The strength of Cai Zhong is definitely not weak; I predict little Yu is unlikely to win this duel.” Lei Yun Tian softly said.

Within the area where Ming Sect’s forces were gathered.

“Cai Zhong, what do you think of your chances in winning this match?” Asked the thin and frail middle-aged man calmly sitting in the pavilion.

“Responding to the Sect Leader, 120% chance for sure!” Replied Cai Zhong confidently.

“Good, very good.”

Currently at the stadium, those that needed to arrive had already arrived. According to the time on the invitation, it was only half an hour before the match begins, but there was still one person that had not arrived on scene, Lei Yu.

Every second and minute past by, Lei Yu’s figure was still nowhere to be seen. Cai Zhong was already impatient, walking to the middle of the stage quietly waiting.

“What is going on with little Yu? How come he still isn’t here?” Nuo Hu anxiously said this and kept looking all over for him.
