Concede of Your Own Accord, and I'll Show You Some Courtesy

Upon seeing Chen Changqing appear on the arena, the many inner disciple who had come to watch immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"They're here!"

"Is he Chen Changqing?"

"We've finally arrived! I thought he was going to cower and avoid battle!"

"Arriving so late, what's with the airs?"

"Hmph! So what if they come? They'll still only lose."

"..."

The inner disciple chattered amongst themselves.

Many people are pessimistic and have no confidence in Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing paid no attention to the whispers and muttered to himself:

"Luckily, it flies fast."

I almost missed it!

Meanwhile, below the arena.

Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chen Changqing return.

"That kid Changqing always manages to get things so thrilling and exciting."

"I thought he wouldn't make it to the duel!"

Liu Mu sighed inwardly.

In any case, seeing Chen Changqing return as promised put Liu Mu's mind at ease.

Even if they are no match for Bai Hao, it's better than being labeled as someone who avoids battle.

"I wonder how much Chen Changqing's strength has improved over the past few months?"

Thinking of this, Liu Mu glanced at himself, his brows furrowing slightly.

She knew very well that Bai Hao was ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking.

In addition, he was under the command of Ji Changkong, the Tenth Sequence Holy Son, and the Cultivation Resources he could obtain were far beyond what ordinary inner disciple could obtain.

Just as Liu Mu was lost in thought, Wang Yang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh:

"Changqing Brother Changqing is finally back."

"Judging from his appearance, he must have gained a lot from this experience."

Wang Yang stared intently at Chen Changqing on the ring.

Earlier, Ran Hua's family experienced a misfortune, and he came to the Inner Sect to seek help from Chen Changqing.

Subsequently, Chen Changqing and Wang Yang went to help Ran Hua.

During the battle of Green Mountain Town, Wang Yang witnessed firsthand Chen Changqing's strength and his decisive ruthlessness.

In the end, they even killed Li Ran, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Li Family.

In Wang Yang's view, since parting ways in Green Mountain Town, Chen Changqing has gone on his own travels, and his strength must have increased again.

Even against Bai Hao, who is ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking, it's not without a chance.

On the other side, Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Changqing appear on the stage.

Over the past few months, she often thought of Chen Changqing, and even prepared a fine Law Artifact as a gift for Chen Changqing.

However, to Liu Ruyan's surprise, Chen Changqing returned so late.

"It's good that you're back."

After a moment's thought, Liu Ruyan breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had been very worried because Chen Changqing hadn't shown up, fearing that something might have happened to Chen Changqing outside.

Now that Chen Changqing has returned safe and sound, Liu Ruyan can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Can he defeat Bai Hao?

Then, a question arose in Liu Ruyan's mind.

Although Chen Changqing has always performed exceptionally well, consistently demonstrating strength far exceeding expectations.

But Bai Hao is no ordinary inner disciple; he is ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking.

In addition, there is the support of Ji Changkong Tenth Sequence Holy Son.

"I believe he can definitely create a miracle!"

As she pondered, Liu Ruyan's eyes hardened, and she naturally chose to believe Chen Changqing.

Meanwhile, Qingyang was relieved to see Chen Changqing return.

However, Qingyang was unsure whether Chen Changqing could defeat Bai Hao.

Earlier, Chen Changqing had accompanied him to Hundred Herbs Valley.

With Chen Changqing's help, Qingyang successfully obtained the Three-Colored Flower, and subsequently used this spirit medicine to successfully advance to the Core Formation stage.

Qingyang was naturally grateful to Chen Changqing.

They also knew that Chen Changqing was no ordinary person.

Bai Hao, however, ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking, possessing unfathomable strength.

It had been several months since Qingyang had seen Chen Changqing, so Qingyang dared not make any hasty judgments.

"I just hope Junior Brother Chen can win!"

After thinking for a moment, Qingyang sighed softly.

At this moment, on the arena...

Upon seeing Chen Changqing appear, Bai Hao's True Qi surged, and his gaze sharpened as he stared directly at Chen Changqing.

During his three months of seclusion, the True Qi within his body had surged to 90,000 strands.

More importantly, he still has other cards to play.

Bai Hao had been worried when Chen Changqing failed to show up for a long time.

After all, all his preparations over the past few months have been for this battle.

After a brief silence, Bai Hao smiled slightly and spoke first:

"Junior Brother Chen."

"It's not too late for you to admit defeat now."

"Senior brother, out of consideration for our shared sect, I won't do anything to you."

"But if my junior brother insists on continuing the fight, there are no eyes on this arena, and it wouldn't be good if he got hurt."

Bai Hao said confidently.

Despite Bai Hao's seemingly righteous words, he secretly longed to attack Chen Changqing, and a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Looking back, he had been sent to Azure Firmament Valley with the mission of the Tenth Sequence Holy Son to win over Chen Changqing.

I thought Chen Changqing would obediently agree.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing not only rejected him on the spot, but even dared to challenge him.

This was an utter disgrace for Bai Hao.

As the tenth-ranked member of the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking, when has he ever been looked down upon like this?

Upon hearing what Bai Hao said, Ji Changkong, the Tenth Sequence Holy Son in the stands, smiled smugly, looking arrogant.

He didn't believe Bai Hao would lose to a disciple who had only recently joined the Inner Sect.

Moreover, Bai Hao still has a trump card he gave him.

After hearing what Bai Hao said, Chen Changqing remained calm and said indifferently:

"Senior Brother Bai Hao."

"Now that I've stepped onto the stage, how can I simply admit defeat?"

"Isn't this just making us a laughingstock?"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Bai Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile vanishing and replaced by a sinister look.

He didn't say anything more, but just stared straight at Chen Changqing.

Meanwhile, the area below the arena became lively, with some shrewd inner disciple already setting up betting games.

"The market is open! The market is open!"

"Bai Hao wins 5-1, Chen Changqing wins 1-10!"

"Place your bets now, or you'll miss out!"

As the shouts rang out, many inner disciple took out their Spirit Stone to place bets.

"Quick, I'll buy Senior Brother Bai Hao's 1000 Spirit Stone!"

"My five hundred Spirit Stone! Senior Brother Bai Hao wins!"

"Bet on Senior Brother Bai Hao to win! Two thousand Spirit Stone!"

"I'll bet on Chen Changqing. What if he's a dark horse? Five hundred Spirit Stone!"

"..."

The opening ceremony was immediately bustling with activity.

Most of the inner disciple chose to bet on Bai Hao to win.

After all, Bai Hao is ranked tenth on the Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking, and he also has Ji Changkong, the Tenth Sequence Holy Son, backing him up. He must have some trump cards up his sleeve.

Of course, a small number of people also took a gamble and placed their bets on Chen Changqing.
