Chapter 169 169 The Overall Situation is Paramount (Third update, asking for monthly tickets)

“Cheng Tianxin’s strength, which is pretty good amongst the Second Grade, is perfect for me to practice with.”
Inside a luxurious carriage, Guo Taiping is building momentum, one hand petting his long sword.
He’s an extraordinary genius, the next head of the Guo Family, attracting attention wherever he goes. Coming to Divine City this time, without a reasonable excuse, would easily make others suspicious.
So, he’s found a very legitimate reason.
To challenge Cheng Tianxin of the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall!
Cheng Tianxin has built a considerable reputation, not to be underestimated; his strength also tops among the Second Grade.
However, Guo Taiping has made significant progress after witnessing the confrontation between Gu Yang and Yi Yi, which gave him the confidence to challenge Cheng Tianxin.
Before coming, he had thoroughly inquired about Cheng Tianxin’s background.
Cheng Tianxin comes from a humble background, without any mentorship, reached the Second Grade Realm through practicing “Xuan Yuan Method,” and created several subtle saber techniques with a few incomplete moves.
Even after achieving fame, he didn’t pledge allegiance to any other powers but established the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.
This talent and mindset are incomparable.
This is one reason why Guo Taiping chose to challenge Cheng Tianxin. Among the civilians, Cheng Tianxin has a huge reputation. Guo Taiping has heard ordinary people discussing him, even referring to Cheng Tianxin as a grandmaster.
A Second Grade, worthy of that title?
Grandmaster is a term of respect for the powerful in the Divine Power Realm.
Today, he intends to trample this Cheng Tianxin, who is regarded as a “Grandmaster” by countless civilians, under his feet.
A cold smile appears at the corner of Guo Taiping’s mouth, his fighting spirit gradually elevating to its peak.
Just at this moment, the carriage stops abruptly.
His eyebrows furrowed. This interruption is rather annoying.
“What happened?”
The coachman answers quietly, “Master, there is a carriage blocking our path ahead.”
Guo Taiping impatiently says, “Move it away.”
“Yes.”
The coachman agrees then yells, “Quickly move, do you know whose carriage this is?”
The other party stubbornly replies, “Well, do you know, whose carriage this is?”
Guo Taiping seems to find this voice familiar but can’t recall where he heard it before.
At this point, there were quite a few people following Guo Taiping’s carriage. Unlike other places, once the citizens of Divine City heard that the sixth on the Proud Warrior List, Guo Taiping, is going to challenge the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall, they all came to watch.
Of course, those who dare to join this Second Grade warrior’s excitement party are exceptionally talented and brave.
Seeing a carriage coming from the opposite direction showing no sign of giving way, it stirs up more excitement.
Words carry weight in the world, but what place is Divine City?
Walking down the street, it’s quite possible to bump into a few officials of the Third Grade or martial artists of the Second Grade and higher.
A future family master from the Guo Family means pretty much nothing. His title as the sixth on the Proud Warrior List is somewhat rarer.
It’s unclear who sits in the other carriage. The carriage bears no distinguishable signs, so naturally, one can’t discern its history.
However, judging by the frightened look on the face of the coachman of that carriage, it’s unlikely he’s from a prominent family.
For the prestigious families in Divine City, stepping out with such a coachman would utterly disgrace them.
Must be some country bumpkin from the outside.
“Well, do you know, whose carriage this is?”
When Feng Tianci shouts these words, he feels incredibly nervous.
The person in the opposite carriage is Guo Taiping, a dignified future family master and the proud son of heaven. Yesterday, he and his master were chased by Guo Taiping’s men for dozens of miles, nearly costing them their lives.
Now, facing him directly, he’s naturally very nervous.
He can’t help but look at Gu Yang.
Gu Yang gives him an encouraging look, implying he’s doing a good job.
Earlier, he was already annoyed when he heard that Guo Taiping was going to challenge the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.
There was a time when he joined Tianxin Martial Arts Hall, but not long after, Guo Taiping came to challenge him, severely injuring the master and causing the dissolution of the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.
Last time in Juyang City in Jingzhou, he didn’t take action on this guy, demonstrating remarkable restraint, primarily to avoid making too many enemies.
However, why does this guy always have to provoke the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall?
This time, he even started the challenge several years earlier.
