The main reason for the discussion was the news that Yan Xiaotian from Hongmen was coming. Decades ago, Yan Xiaotian was a formidable figure in the Huaxia Martial Arts Community, sweeping through various Martial Arts Families with ease. It was unexpected that after leaving Huaxia for so many years, he would return now. Back then, he was defeated by the united forces of Huaxia Martial Arts, who forced him to vow never to set foot on Huaxia soil again. Now, disregarding that vow, he was making his comeback, and it seemed that Huaxia Martial Arts was about to face another storm of bloodshed.
As the leaders of the Huaxia Martial Arts Community, the Seven Great Martial Arts Families—especially the Peng Family, the Yan Family, and the Hua Family—had all been bullied by Yan Xiaotian in the past. The ancestors of these four families were in their prime when they were humiliated by him, and they had harbored this resentment for many years. Now that they had all entered the Divine Realm, it was time to vent their anger.
"I wonder what everyone thinks about Yan Xiaotian's return to Huaxia," Peng Tianqi asked.
"What is there to think? If he dares to come, we will let him come and go without return," Yan Lianwei replied coldly.
"Decades have passed; things are no longer as they were. Back then, Yan Xiaotian could provoke us single-handedly and seemed quite impressive. But now, he won't be able to act so arrogantly," Hua Yuedao said calmly.
"Hmph, he's come at just the right time. Even if he hadn't come, I would have gone overseas to find him for a battle. When I fought him back then, my Absolute God Blade had only just begun to take shape. But now that I have mastered it, I am confident I can defeat him," Luo Xiong said solemnly.
Peng Tianqi smiled faintly but remained silent. Among these four, he had the highest talent in martial arts; however, while the other three had entered the Divine Realm years ago, Peng Tianqi had only just barely crossed into it.
The reason for this was not due to any lack of diligence on Peng Tianqi's part. After being humiliated by Yan Xiaotian back then, he and his peers felt stifled and began to train frantically, even resorting to desperate measures. Yan Lianwei, Hua Yuedao, and Luo Xiong were among them; they were eager to quickly reach the Divine Realm and used various dubious methods to enhance their cultivation. Although they eventually entered the Divine Realm, their foundations were not solid.
In contrast, Peng Tianqi had taken a steady approach over the years and had only just now entered the Divine Realm. As for Yan Xiaotian, he had only recently entered it as well. His martial arts talent could be described as rare in a century; he had been able to challenge Huaxia Martial Arts even back then. Now that he had just stepped into the Divine Realm, could his strength really be inferior to that of Yan Lianwei and others?
In cultivation, one only realizes how crucial a solid foundation is at higher levels. Hua Yuedao and his peers pursued speed while neglecting fundamental training. However, Peng Tianqi chose not to comment on their methods; after all, how others cultivated was their own business.
"We should not be careless; since Yan Xiaotian dares to come this time, he must be well-prepared," Peng Tianqi said cautiously.
"Are we four in the Divine Realm afraid of just one? Brother Tianqi, you are still as cautious as ever," Luo Xiong laughed.
"Better safe than sorry; we cannot underestimate Yan Xiaotian," Peng Tianqi replied seriously.
"Haha! Brother Tianqi, don’t worry! You’ve just entered the Divine Realm; leave dealing with Yan Xiaotian to us," Yan Lianwei chuckled.
"I don't think we need all four of us together; I alone will be enough to handle him," Hua Yuedao also laughed.
"Just so you know, don’t try to steal my kill; I want his blood to offer my blade," Luo Xiong said confidently.
As these four Divine Realm experts engaged in lively conversation, Peng Bo arrived with Jiang Chen in tow.
Peng Bo approached Peng Tianqi first and greeted everyone before introducing Jiang Chen to him.
Regarding Jiang Chen, Peng Tianqi was already aware of the situation.
"Young friend Jiang, I've heard from Master Chen that you are quite young yet possess remarkable cultivation. That is truly commendable," Peng Tianqi said with a warm smile.
Jiang Chen casually glanced over the four old men, and if it came to strength, Peng Tianqi was likely the most formidable among them.
"Tianqi, who is this young man?" Hua Yuedao asked curiously.
"Peng Bo, why don't you introduce him to everyone?" Peng Tianqi replied with a smile.
Everyone present were powerful figures from the Divine Realm, and Peng Bo did not dare to conceal anything. He briefly recounted what Chen Zhi had said about Jiang Chen. After hearing Peng Bo's words, Hua Yuedao and the others looked on with evident skepticism. A young man like Jiang Chen wanting to show off at such a Martial Arts Gathering seemed rather presumptuous.
"You've got some guts, kid, daring to come to a place like this. What's your background?" Luo Xiong laughed, showing a hint of interest in Jiang Chen.
"I have no background. If you think I have some sort of backing, you might be disappointed," Jiang Chen replied lightly.
"No background? Then where did you learn all these skills?" Luo Xiong asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's something I don't need to share with you," Jiang Chen said.
"Could it be that your master is a reclusive expert? Is that why you’re reluctant to reveal it?" Luo Xiong pressed on, not willing to give up.
"In this world, I doubt anyone is qualified to be my master," Jiang Chen said indifferently.
"Young man, that's quite a bold statement. Do you know who we are? You shouldn't speak so freely in our presence," Luo Xiong initially thought Jiang Chen was a martial arts prodigy and was intrigued by him. However, Jiang Chen's arrogance began to irritate him.
"I'm merely speaking the truth; how you perceive it is none of my concern," Jiang Chen replied dismissively.
"You can be brash when you're young, but you also need to know your place. I agreed to let you meet me out of respect for Master Chen, but if you can't temper your arrogance, then I will have no choice but to send you away," Peng Tianqi said, his previously amiable expression slightly darkening. He didn't dare underestimate Jiang Chen but would not tolerate his insolence either.
"Old Peng, there's a saying: it's easy to invite a deity but hard to send them away. Since you've invited me here, whether I stay or leave is not for you to decide," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile before sitting down and pouring himself a cup of tea to enjoy.
"This tea is good, but it's a pity the person brewing it doesn't know how," Jiang Chen remarked after taking a sip.
