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. Back then, Yan Xiaotian was defeated by a united front of Huaxia Martial Arts practitioners, forced to vow never to set foot in Huaxia again. Now, disregarding that vow, he was back, and it seemed that the Huaxia Martial Arts community would soon be engulfed in chaos once more.
As one of the pillars of the Huaxia Martial Arts Community, the Seven Great Martial Arts Families, particularly the Peng Family, the Yan Family, and the Hua Family, had all suffered at Yan Xiaotian's hands in the past. The ancestors of these four families were humiliated by him during their prime years. This resentment had festered for many years, and now that they had all entered the Divine Realm, they were eager to settle old scores.
"What do you all think 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 challenge us alone 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 sought him out overseas for a battle. Back when I fought him, my Absolute God Mad Blade was barely at its beginning stages. 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 the four of them, he possessed the highest martial arts talent. However, while the others had entered the Divine Realm years ago, he had only just crossed into it.
The reason for this was not due to any lack of diligence on Peng Tianqi's part; rather, it stemmed from the humiliation they all suffered at Yan Xiaotian's hands. Each of them felt stifled by that experience. Although Yan Xiaotian had ultimately been defeated by a coalition of Huaxia Martial Arts practitioners—more than ten people working together—it wasn't a glorious victory; it felt like a case of many against one.
Thus, this battle was rarely mentioned; only the older generation knew about it, while the younger ones had never even heard of it. After Yan Xiaotian left Huaxia, those who had been defeated by him were unwilling to accept their fate and began to train frantically, even resorting to reckless methods.
Yan Lianwei, Hua Yuedao, and Luo Xiong were among those who sought rapid advancement into the Divine Realm through various dubious means. Although they eventually succeeded in entering the Divine Realm, their foundations were shaky.
In contrast, Peng Tianqi had taken a steady approach over the years and only recently stepped into the Divine Realm. As for Yan Xiaotian, he had just entered as well. His martial arts talent was exceptionally rare—he could challenge the entire Huaxia Martial Arts community back then—and now that he had just entered the Divine Realm, could his strength truly be inferior to that of Yan Lianwei and others?
In cultivation, only at higher levels does one realize how important a solid foundation is. Hua Yuedao and his companions pursued speed while neglecting fundamental training. However, Peng Tianqi chose not to comment; after all, how others trained 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 Divine Realm practitioners afraid of just one? Tianqi brother, you are still as cautious as ever," Luo Xiong laughed.
"Better safe than sorry; we must not underestimate Yan Xiaotian," Peng Tianqi replied seriously.
"Haha! Don't worry, Tianqi brother; 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 to take action; I alone will be enough to handle him," Hua Yuedao added with a smile.
"Just so you know—don't try to steal my kill! I want to use his blood to honor my blade," Luo Xiong declared 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.
