The top talents from the Wu Family and Chang Family both claimed they gained nothing, all because of Chen Yu.
This instantly changed the way everyone looked at Chen Yu.
The expressions of the Wu Family and Chang Family also changed completely.
Earlier, they were still trying to recruit Chen Yu.
As a result, Chen Yu turned out to be the culprit behind their families gaining nothing!
This made the high-level members of the two families feel humiliated and disgraced, looking at Chen Yu with hostility and enmity.
"Humph, this young man really knows how to stir things up. In this case, the people of the Chang Family and Wu Family probably wonât try to recruit him again."
Elder Yang Yi sneered coldly, somewhat gloating over their misfortune.
The high-level members of the Xu Family and He Family, however, smiled.
"With Chen Yu leaving the Yang Family and now angering the He Family and Chang Family, thereâs an even greater chance heâll join our Xu Family."
An elderly man with a red face stroked his beard and smiled.
"This young man can kill Yang Lingjie and make Wu Yuan and the graceful woman suffer losses, which further proves his outstanding abilities."
"I suggest that we must let this young man join our Xu Family, even if it means spending a large fortune to have him change his surname and completely integrate into the Xu Family!"
A dignified woman also held Chen Yu in high regard.
The high-level members of the He Family had the same thought.
"Chen Yu, our He Family welcomes you at any time."
A high-level member of the He Family smiled and said.
However.
A few He Family disciples below heard these words and immediately showed unnatural expressions.
The feud between Chen Yu and the He Family far surpassed that with the Wu Family and Chang Family.
"Elder, Brother Tianxiong was killed by Chen Yu!"
"Thatâs right, it was this man who suddenly intercepted Brother Tianxiong and killed him."
Two disciples immediately spoke out.
Chen Yu glanced at these two, feeling they looked familiar.
When he killed He Tianxiong, he didnât completely silence everyone. At that time, three others were with He Tianxiong and they all scattered and fled, these two were among them.
And the high-level member of the He Family who had just been laughing and trying to recruit Chen Yu suddenly had his smile freeze, his face turning pale.
The person they wanted to recruit turned out to be the one who killed He Tianxiong!
Everyone around was also extremely shocked.
They had noticed that He Tianxiong didnât emerge, but they never expected the killer would be Chen Yu!
"Bastard, how dare you kill my disciple!"
A fat elder among the He Familyâs high-level members erupted in rage, his voice booming like thunder.
He was He Tianxiongâs master.
"I also heard from Brother Tianxiong that his grudge over his severed arm was also due to Chen Yu!"
The disciple added again.
Instantly, the He Familyâs attitude changed drastically.
He Tianxiong was the most outstanding disciple of the He Familyâs generation, and now that he died at Chen Yuâs hands, how could they not hate him?
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Chen Yu became the center of attention.
He had killed Yang Lingjie of the Yang Family, taken the token from Wu Yuan of the Wu Family, caused the Chang Family to gain nothing, and even killed He Tianxiong of the He Family.
This outsider disciple had practically pierced the sky in just three days.
The highest echelons of the most powerful Xu Family were incredibly surprised.
"This young manâs abilities exceed this old manâs previous estimation."
The red-faced elder exclaimed in surprise.
But immediately, they felt a vague sense of unease.
The Yang Family, Chang Family, Wu Family, and He Family all fell under Chen Yuâs "poisonous hand," what about their Xu Family?
Many high-level members believed that their Xu Familyâs younger generation was so strong that they wouldnât possibly suffer at Chen Yuâs hands.
The Xu Family Patriarch, who was also Xu Liusuâs father, still focused his attention on Xu Liusu.
"Liusu, what exactly happened? How many tokens did you get?"
The Xu Family Patriarch kept questioning Xu Liusu.
Xu Liusu looked dazed, still unable to shake off the blow, still immersed in the shadow left by Chen Yu.
Hearing othersâ discussions about Chen Yu, the Xu Family Patriarch couldnât help but sigh, "Truly, Chen Yu is exceptional, among the younger generation, only you could suppress him."
He had confidence in his own son.
But upon hearing these words, Xu Liusuâs expression changed drastically, for the name "Chen Yu" had become extraordinarily sensitive to him.
And his father even said that he could suppress Chen Yu by a margin.
Xu Liusuâs heart was in chaos; if he could truly suppress Chen Yu by a margin, he wouldnât have been defeated twice by him, nor had his tokens taken twice.
"Chen Yu, the humiliation of today, I will definitely reclaim it personally one day."
Xu Liusuâs eyes suddenly brightened, flickering with madness and hatred, he shouted.
His sudden outburst stunned everyone around.
When everyone realized what he meant, they understood that Xu Liusu had also suffered losses at Chen Yuâs hands!
"Even Xu Liusu suffered losses to this young man?"
"I heard previously that Xu Liusu was defeated by Chen Yu, but I thought it was a rumor. Didnât expect it to be true."
Not only were the family high-ups shocked, but even the young kings participating in the contest were equally surprised. In their hearts, Xu Liusu had always been an invincible existence.
King of Fallen Moon, Lin Xuefei, and Zou Heng, upon learning, were also dumbfounded.
"Itâs over, heâs offended all five great families."
Zou Heng uttered in dismay.
Even the Xu Family Patriarch guessed that his sonâs current state was all Chen Yuâs doing.
"Liusu, what exactly happened?"
His eyebrows furrowed, asking seriously.
But Xu Liusu was resolute in not speaking; it was truly hard to express.
The high-level members of the Xu Family all showed solemn faces.
Earlier, they believed that the Xu Familyâs disciples wouldnât possibly suffer losses at Chen Yuâs hands, yet reality gave them a slap in the face.
In an instant.
The place was filled with the cries of condemnation from the Five Families.
Among them, the He Family and the Yang Family went as far as to label Chen Yu as utterly wicked and heartless, suggesting they execute him in public!
The square-faced middle-aged man and the silver-robed woman quietly watched this scene unfold, even they were somewhat intrigued and found it rather novel.
"This person is the reason Uncle Chen personally came here, what is his connection with our Lin Family?"
The silver-robed womanâs beautiful eyes assessed Chen Yu; facing the hostility of the Five Families, he remained so composed.
In reality, Chen Yu was slightly shaken inside.
He had predicted some possible events upon his arrival, but the situation was more serious than he expected.
However, there were still ways to resolve it.
The Five Families, he had not completely offended them all.
This time at the martial tournament of the Five Mountains, only three people could emerge victorious, and no matter which place he got, he could secure quite a few slots.
And the Five Families had gained nothing; in this case, as long as Chen Yu exchanged the slots, he could resolve the grievances.
At this moment.
The square-faced man from the Heavenly River Sect finally spoke.
"I ask you, there are a total of twenty tokens, where are the other tokens?"
This was his biggest question right now, as it was for others.
They gradually learned of Chen Yuâs deeds from their familyâs disciples.
Logically, Chen Yu should have obtained quite a few tokens.
But why did he only take out one? Where are the other tokens?
"The other tokens..."
Chen Yu, who was previously calm, now showed a complex expression: "The other tokens encountered a small issue. But, senior, according to the rules, I only need this one token to win and secure a slot."
"Correct."
The square-faced middle-aged man said calmly.
"But I am very curious, where are the other tokens?"
He asked again, insisting on this question.
Chen Yu knew that the martial tournament of the Five Mountains was under the square-faced manâs authority, even the Family Heads wouldnât dare defy him.
If he angered the square-faced man, even if Chen Yu adhered to the rules, he could be stripped of his victory with just one word.
In helplessness.
Chen Yu produced another sixteen tokens.
Among them, twelve had turned into ordinary stones, and the other four had just a faint silver sheen.
Ordinary people might not recognize these tokens, but the square-faced man, being the maker of these tokens, realized it at a glance, his eyes flickering with a strange light.
The silver-robed woman beside him also slightly gaped her serene and tranquil face.
"The space power in the tokens I made has been absorbed?"
The square-faced manâs words were steady, each word weighing as if a thousand pounds, imposing an invisible pressure on others.
The Five Familiesâ expressions were instantly delighted.
In this place, the square-faced man had the final say, and they dared not rashly deal with Chen Yu.
But if Chen Yu had damaged something made by the square-faced man and aroused his displeasure, then Chen Yu was certainly doomed, not even needing their intervention.
"Please forgive me, senior, this junior comprehended the Profound Meaning of space, and accidentally absorbed the space power in the tokens during my insight."
Chen Yu had long prepared this explanation.
"Chen Yu, you damaged the masterâs tokens, and you still have the nerve to justify it?"
"This is disrespect towards the master!"
Elder Yang Yi, He Tianxiongâs master, stepped forward to pressure Chen Yu.
"Master, this childâs disposition is cruel, indiscriminately killing, and furthermore damaging the items you created, let me execute him for you on the spot."
Elder Yang Yi soared again.
Chen Yu had irked the square-faced man, and at this moment, if he struck to kill Chen Yu, the man would certainly not stop him, and might even reward the Yang Family.
The chubby elder from the He Family, He Tianxiongâs master, felt regretful seeing this scene, as such a good opportunity was snatched by Yang Yi.
Boom!
The surging primordial power within Yang Yi erupted, the burning golden flames making him appear like a golden sun, illuminating everything.
Before even making a move, that formidable momentum cast an overwhelming presence.
Chen Yuâs blood froze, his body felt scorching hot, estimating that Yang Yi was at least in the late stage of the Star Condensing, having condensed three Primordial Power Stars.
Even with the strength to challenge levels higher, facing such a strong opponent was difficult to withstand.
Xu Liusu, witnessing this, had eyes flickering with excitement and regret.
The excitement was because Chen Yu was about to meet a tragic end on the spot, the regret was that he couldnât personally exact his revenge.
"Prepare to die, Chen Yu!"
Elder Yang Yi spread his arms, golden flames swirling on his palms, ready to strike.
Suddenly.
"Didnât I say that personal vendettas are to be resolved after the martial tournament has concluded?"
The square-faced middle-aged man spoke again, his face stern and carrying an invisible authority.
But this time it wasnât directed at Chen Yu, but at Elder Yang Yi!
Boom!
The square-faced middle-aged manâs eyes seemed to unleash two profound and boundless divine lights, striking Elder Yang Yiâs soul as if hit hard, causing intense pain, and crashing him down to the ground.
The scene fell silent.
The high echelon of the Heavenly River Sect stood by Chen Yu, even suppressing Elder Yang Yi!
This demonstrated his stance to stand alongside Chen Yu.
The earlier cries of denunciation were no longer heard.
The square-faced middle-aged man stood by Chen Yu, and if they were still to target him, it would mean opposing the Heavenly River Sectâs high echelon.
Yet, the Five Families couldnât comprehend why the square-faced middle-aged man would shield Chen Yu. In his eyes, didnât he care nothing for the martial tournament of the Five Mountains, or the survival of the Five Familiesâ disciples?
"I now announce, all the tokens in Chen Yuâs possession are valid, making him the first!"
The square-faced middle-aged man once again cast a look at Chen Yu, his face displaying a faint smile and appreciation, which then vanished instantly.
Upon hearing these words, the Five Families felt as if struck by lightning.
