The Top Three's Road to a Comeback

After saying goodbye to Ouyang Ling, Chu Xinghe returned to the Spirit Crane Palace. He had just returned to his room when Senior Brother Feng Fei called him over.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, news has come from Martial Emperor City. Their generation of disciples will soon be coming to our Vast Heaven Sect to continue the annual disciple competition!"

Upon hearing this news, Chu Xinghe's gloom of the past few days vanished.

It has to be Senior Brother Feng Fei.

Ma Liang was a complete scourge. Both of them brought news, but look at Senior Brother Feng Fei, and look at Ma Liang!

When Senior Brother Feng Fei opens his mouth, it's all good news; when you, Ma Liang, open your mouth, it's all heartbreaking!

Is the Martial Emperor City finally coming?!

Junior Brother Zheng Yu, last year I accidentally killed all three of you with a single sword strike. That was because I, Chu Xinghe, didn't know how to behave, and it was I Chu Xinghe, who acted unfairly.

Junior Brother Zheng Yu, don't worry. As long as you dare to come this year, I'll arrange things behind the scenes for you so you can leave happily and go home joyfully.

In my Vast Heaven Sect, you have absolutely no chance of failure.

Senior Brother Feng Fei gave a brief introduction to the situation in Martial Emperor City.

You wouldn't believe it until you hear about it; it's truly amazing.

Besides the already renowned Mo Kai, the other two of the three most outstanding disciples of this generation from Martial Emperor City were actually the other two of the top three he had instantly defeated.

What a coincidence!

Hearing this, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears.

See? I had good judgment after all. The top three were indeed extraordinary. I easily defeated them in Haotian City, and they went straight to Martial Emperor City, becoming the three most outstanding individuals of their generation in Martial Emperor City?

Now, wouldn't those three be dreaming of crushing the Vast Heaven Sect under their feet?

Back then, your Vast Heaven Sect ignored me, didn't you? Now, the three of us are someone your Vast Heaven Sect can't even dream of befriend.

Chu Xinghe was so excited he almost couldn't hold his pee.

Isn't this a classic underdog story?

Are the top three, carrying the shame of Haotian City, going to come to the Vast Heaven Sect and then trample the younger generation of the Vast Heaven Sect underfoot?

Is there any more explosive topic than this?

If Vast Heaven Sect loses to Martial Emperor City, it's already an explosive topic. If they lose to the top three that they just defeated!

Chu Xinghe has already thought of the title!

Shocking! Chu Xinghe was blind to talent and missed out on three unparalleled masters!

If the top three win, wouldn't the various shock departments be overjoyed? After being humiliated by them so many times, wouldn't the shock departments go all out to smear them and Vast Heaven Sect this time?

What could be more exhilarating than a comeback story?

I'm getting really excited right now.

Martial Emperor City, rest assured, this time I Chu Xinghe, will definitely help you soar to the heavens!

Senior Brother Feng Fei, looking rather unwell, recounted just how outstanding the top three who entered Martial Emperor City were.

Not only did Mo Kai master the Unparalleled Tyrant Sword, but the other two were also exceptionally talented, each seemingly possessing superhuman abilities.

I heard that Cheng Xiaotian Martial Emperor City Lord, was laughing so hard his mouth was crooked.

Your Vast Heaven Sect has three hundred geniuses from the Muyue Kingdom, while my Martial Emperor City has three top-ranked scholars!

Everyone's saying that Mo Kai is second only to Zheng Yu, a peerless genius among the younger generation. Wouldn't that make Mu Bai look like he's been utterly crushed?

What kind of bullshit is this "Three Hundred Geniuses of the Muyue Kingdom"? They're nothing compared to the top three.

The Martial Emperor City even declared that they would definitely avenge their defeat this year. Last year, with Chu Xinghe, the Martial Emperor City lost convincingly. This year, how can the Vast Heaven Sect possibly stop the Martial Emperor City!

This declaration really got Chu Xinghe excited.

Feng Fei was initially worried, as the outside world generally favored Martial Emperor City. After all, the top three were renowned, and their abilities in the previous tests and their subsequent talents demonstrated their terrifying strength.

Feng Fei was worried about whether the Vast Heaven Sect could withstand the attack from the Martial Emperor City, but seeing his Junior Brother Xinghe's smiling face, Feng Fei felt relieved.

As expected! Junior Brother Xinghe must have foreseen all of this. Although he couldn't take action himself this time, he must have already planned everything out.

"By the way, Junior Brother Xinghe, besides Martial Emperor City, there are other families coming this time as well."

"The Heavenly Medicine Palace again?" Chu Xinghe was startled. Don't be ridiculous!

"They're not from the Heavenly Medicine Palace, they're from the Hundred Refinements Valley."

"Hundred Refinements Valley?" Chu Xinghe was taken aback.

"Yes, Hundred Refinements Valley is the strongest sect in the world at crafting spiritual weapons. They've been cooperating with our Vast Heaven Sect for a long time, and it was they who proposed the price increase last time."

Feng Fei explained the details of Hundred Refinements Valley in detail, and Chu Xinghe was overjoyed after listening.

It turns out that Hundred Refinements Valley had previously mentioned raising prices, and everyone thought Vast Heaven Sect would eventually compromise. But no one expected Vast Heaven Sect to be so assertive and directly choose the Ouyang Lineage.

How could Hundred Refinements Valley be happy to lose such a major client as the Vast Heaven Sect?

It just so happens that the All Under Heaven Weapon Refining Conference will be held in Hundred Refinements Valley soon. Hundred Refinements Valley came to say that they were sending invitations to the Vast Heaven Sect for the conference, and the invitations were naturally extended to the Ouyang Lineage.

But anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that Hundred Refinements Valley's visit this time is definitely not as simple as just sending an invitation.

Why bother sending invitations in person? Why not just have a hired hand deliver them?

What do you mean by coming to Martial Emperor City during the martial arts competition with the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect? And you even specifically mentioned the Ouyang Lineage.

This is clearly an attempt to establish authority, to use the Ouyang Lineage as a scapegoat, and to tell the Vast Heaven Sect, "Look... the Ouyang Lineage that your Vast Heaven Sect chose is nothing, while our Hundred Refinements Valley is the only True God!"

Upon hearing this bad news, and recalling the constant crackling sounds from the Ouyang Lineage's stove, Feng Fei sighed.

Chu Xinghe almost performed a "Wishing you prosperity" dance for his Senior Brother Feng Fei on the spot.

Is this bad news?

This is clearly a double celebration!

Do you think I don't know what kind of people those Ouyang Lineage are? I've been eavesdropping on them every day while they're recovering from the explosion.

Speaking of Hundred Refinements Valley, it has many connections with the Ouyang Lineage.

It's said that the first Valley Master of Hundred Refinements Valley was a traitor to the Ouyang Lineage?

Oh my god... Is there anything more exciting than this?

The traitor from back then betrayed his family, founded the Hundred Refinements Valley, and eventually trampled the former Ouyang Lineage underfoot, becoming the number one weapon-refining sect in the world!

The Ouyang Lineage has just started to improve, and now the Hundred Refinements Valley is going to kick Ouyang Lineage back into the abyss. That sounds infuriating.

Chu Xinghe was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Hundred Refinements Valley, I Chu Xinghe, support you.

Do the Ouyang Lineage still want to rise again? Do they still want to turn the tables? We must not let them have their way.

Come quickly, pin the Ouyang siblings to the ground and rub them thoroughly. Don't pity them just because they are the only two direct descendants left in the Ouyang Lineage.

Please punish the Ouyang Lineage in the name of justice and light!

Double happiness arrived in one day, and Chu Xinghe was already humming "Wishing you prosperity" in his heart!

Senior Brother Feng is the one who understands me best; he always brings me hope.

With the combined might of the two heroes from Martial Emperor City and Hundred Refinements Valley, how could I possibly lose to them?!

Vast Heaven Sect first lost to Martial Emperor City, then the top three made a comeback, and then Hundred Refinements Valley steadily advanced, crushing the Ouyang Lineage under its feet.

If these two pieces of news were released together, Chu Xinghe Daoquan world would be celebrating!

Chu Xinghe shook off his days of dejection and instantly became fully revitalized.

With the help of Martial Emperor City and Hundred Refinements Valley, how can I worry about the sect's decline or the failure of my great undertaking?

Chu Xinghe was so excited that he could hardly sleep that night, and he couldn't help but laugh wildly in his dreams.

Early the next morning, Chu Xinghe didn't even bother going to the kitchen before rushing to the Artifact Refining Palace. The familiar and pleasant sound of explosions kept reminding him that the Ouyang Lineage was all about stability.

Yesterday, I specifically told Senior Brother Feng Fei not to tell the Artifact Refining Palace about the Hundred Refinements Valley's arrival.

What if these bastards react negatively after hearing this? I have to catch them off guard and leave them completely bewildered.

Senior Brother Feng nodded solemnly after hearing his words: "Junior Brother Xinghe, you've thought things through very well. We shouldn't put too much pressure on the Ouyang Lineage beforehand."

"Congratulations on your fortune... Congratulations on your wonderful day... Heh..." Chu Xinghe strolled into the kitchen and downed four bowls of braised pork with three zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).

Sure enough, when people are in a good mood, their appetite increases. A few days ago, when I was feeling down, I could only eat three bowls of braised pork and two zongzi for breakfast. I felt like I had developed anorexia.

After breakfast, I made a special trip to the Medicine King Palace to instruct Mu Bai and the others that since my Spirit Crane Palace has entered the Dao through alchemy, we cannot abandon the Dao of alchemy just because we have cultivated the Great Expansion Heavenly Metal Art. We must spend more time on alchemy.

We can't give them too many opportunities to practice; we must keep a tight grip on them.

After giving Mu Bai his instructions, Chu Xinghe quickly fled the Medicine King Palace. He had heard that the Grand Elder had been unhappy these past few days because he hadn't gone to refine medicine.

If the Grand Elder catches him, wouldn't he need to get his head sorted out?

Isn't it better to hide in the Technique Repository Tower and laze around?

Moreover, thanks to the cultivation power continuously provided by the Ouyang Lineage, I've reached the edge of a breakthrough. At this rate, I should be breaking through soon.

This speed is still too slow! Martial Emperor City! Hundred Refinements Valley! Come quickly!

Help me become a god in one fell swoop!

Finally, after Chu Xinghe's tireless anticipation, the people from Martial Emperor City and Hundred Refinements Valley arrived as promised.

Early in the morning, Chu Xinghe changed into his unique disciple's robe, which had a charming purple hue.

The Grand Elder, dressed in his finest attire, personally greeted them at the mountain gate.

This time, Cheng Xiaotian personally led the team, with Zheng Yu following, bringing the top three who had been expelled by Chu Xinghe.

From this, Chu Xinghe could see that the Lord of Xiaotian City was just like him, someone who liked the underdog story.

Don't worry, Lord Xiaotian, with me Chu Xinghe, here, you're all set this time.

Led by the Grand Elder, the people from Martial Emperor City and Hundred Refinements Valley entered the Vast Heaven Sect together.

Just like last year, Sect Gu Mingchao pulled Cheng Xiaotian aside and exchanged pleasantries, basically repeating the same things he said last year.

We from Martial Emperor City are here to seek guidance and instruction; the Vast Heaven Sect is a model we should learn from.

What do you mean, "We, the Vast Heaven Sect, would dare to offer any guidance? We should all learn from each other."

It was basically a Versailles meal.

Chu Xinghe completely ignored the two ultimate Versailles, the number one and number two in the world, and his gaze immediately fell on Mo Kai and the others.

When the other side saw them, they all looked at them as if they were seeing their father's killer, their eyes turning red.

Seeing the three young men's high spirits, Chu Xinghe silently gave them a thumbs up.

What wonderful kids! Don't worry, Senior Brother Xinghe has everything perfectly arranged for you this time.

With Senior Brother Xinghe around, your path to success is guaranteed!
