Eer cared about appearances He exercised as much restraint as he could h to noticeably defuse rising teht,” Eon, Void, your unfounded clai about embarrassment If you’re as confident as your words indicate, why don’t we have a straightforward bout to decide things? In the world of ns supreh Eestion nevertheless won the approval ofand attractive than an election
“A good fight is e need!”
“Exactly Sacred Peafowl Mountain and Shura Retreat have always been two stalwart pillars of the city Only a contest of strength will reveal who is stronger in the end Why vote when a fight can decide things so ht? How do you propose they actually do it? How old is young lord Zhen and how old is Emperor Shura? The ee in such a thing”
“Heh heh, that doesn’t e doesn’t matter in the world The selection of a leader favors experience Youth isn’t an excuse Youngsters shouldn’t participate in such co h this was pure sophistry, it was delivered with perfect matter-of-factness
Emperor Petalpluck fell silent He pondered E Chen; he wanted to see the reactions of both parties
For once, Eht way “I’, anytime”
The kindly e Chen glanced instead at Emperor Shura himself with a half-smile
“Emperor Shura, I’ve been curious for a while to see where your courage co the throne? You’re even willing to openly fight soer than you You didn’t have the courage to confront Eratulations, now’s your chance to take on Sacred Peafowl Mountain” The youth’s mockery was relentless “Still, no one here is a fool You’ve lived a few thousand years, yet you’re fighting a young cultivator who’s not yet thirty A win for you is nothing less than unfair, and a loss, nothing ht you if personal benefit was the only thing at stake,” retorted Eood It aches for Veluriyam Capital’s future Since you won’t back down yourself, I have no other recourse but to fight Any ood?

Eh in helplessness So like that was unheard of, not only in Veluriyam Capital, but the entire human domain But E until they had reached their goal The enity Such a change was difficult to deal with, presenting a painful quandary
“Young lord Zhen, we’re picking the future leader of Veluriyam Capital here,” said Emperor Petalpluck with a wry se alone”
Jiang Chen gave a slight nod in acknowledgaze outward at the crowd all around
“If there’s to be a fight,” he proclaimed, “let it be all all-out contest! There must be a competition of both pill and martial dao This is a clash of Sacred Peafowl Mountain and Shura Retreat’s fortunes Only having a si that decide things would be a little frivolous Doing things this ould only attract widespread contes with a corander scale between our faction’s foundations Let’s make a spectacle of it!”
“Hmph, do you think that everyone has as much time to waste as you do?” Emperor Shura sneered “The world ofelse you talked about is less”
“That’s why you’ve never been able to sit on the highest throne, E Chen jeered back “You’re far too short-sighted I can already predict that if Veluriya the city has will be lost in a hundred years”
Given the e behavior, there was no reason for the younglord Zhen,” Emperor Petalpluck cut in “What do you h An attereater between Sacred Peafowl Mountain and the Shura Retreat absolutely needs an all-out contest Only through a coths and foundations be co useful will come of just one result”
