Chapter 1199

This time, Chen Yu's return did not cause much of a commotion in the Celestial Sect.

That was because there was going to be a battle that everyone was watching.

The person being challenged was the Sky Martial List's number one, Guan Hongri.

That's right, the current number one was not Chen Yu, but Guan Hongri.

The Celestial Sect had a rule.

If one did not return to the Sect for more than 75 years, the ranking could be changed.

If a disciple went missing for decades or even centuries, the Sky Martial List would not be able to keep his name on it.

The condition for the change was that the Sky Martial List disciple at the back must have improved a lot and might be stronger than the disciple at the front.

As for why the Celestial Sect decided that Guan Hongri might be stronger than the previous number one, it was because after Guan Hongri lost to Chen Yu, he went into seclusion for 65 years and became a six-star king, becoming the number one genius in the Celestial Sect!

The current Guan Hongri was like the sun in the sky, a role model for the younger generation of the human race.

On the Sky Martial Battle Platform.

A battle that had been arranged half a month ago was about to begin.

The two sides were Guan Hongri and Jiang Han, who was ranked fourth.

Nobody thought highly of Jiang Han, but they all hoped to witness the strength of a six-star king through this battle.

Chen Yu, who was once ranked first and now ranked second, had left the Sect for decades. Lin Yuxuan, who was ranked third, had been in seclusion.

That left Jiang Han, who was ranked fourth.

"Senior brother Guan, please show mercy. I just want to see the strength of a six-star king."

Jiang Han's body was small and her voice was soft and sweet. She looked like a lovable guest.

"Don't worry, I am magnanimous."

Guan Hongri laughed.

Presently, he was in high spirits, and every single move he made carried a fearless and arrogant imposing aura.

He had broken through to the six-star king a decade ago. Nobody knew how strong he was now.

Jiang Han did not dare to underestimate him. She activated her elemental energy and a wave of elemental energy formed behind her. She turned into a weird giant fish and dashed out.

Roar!

The weird giant fish's aura was so strong that it created waves and smashed towards Guan Hongri.

Guan Hongri floated in mid-air calmly. When the giant fish got close, elemental energy exploded from his palms and golden flames shone brightly.

Peng!

In an instant, the strange giant fish was cut in half, and its body gradually evaporated under the high temperature of the flames.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say you would show mercy?"

Jiang Han pouted.

She immediately took out a scroll and opened it.

The various fierce beasts and monsters drawn on the scroll suddenly came to life and charged at Guan Hongri.

Guan Hongri smiled faintly. His body occasionally dodged, and he occasionally struck out with his palm, calmly neutralizing Jiang Han's attacks.

This scene caused the surrounding people to be extremely shocked.

This was a six-star king? Guan Hongri's strength was too strong. The five-and-a-half-star Jiang Han was completely not a match for him.

At this moment.

In the spectator area, a burly bronze-skinned man received a message and immediately shouted, "Senior Brother Guan, Chen Yu is back!"

This person's name was Qu Nanxiang. He was the disciple of the Celestial Sect who was defeated by Chen Yu in the past.

Out of all the disciples who had lost to Chen Yu, he was the most humiliated one.

"Chen Yu!"

The spectators were shocked.

On the Tianwu Arena, Guan Hongri's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes flickered with a golden light.

His eyes were like small suns, emitting flames. No one dared to look at him directly.

"He's finally back. I thought he had returned to his hometown and settled down in his old home."

Guan Hongri laughed.

At this moment, he had lost all interest in this battle.

Even Jiang Han, who was ranked fourth, was a stunning beauty.

Chi!

He took out a large blade with golden patterns and instantly slashed down. A shocking rainbow light pierced through the sky, bringing with it golden flames.

In an instant, Jiang Han's various attacks vanished like smoke in thin air.

Peng!

Her body flew out and smashed into the barrier, leaving a scorch mark in front of her.

"Junior Sister Jiang, I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself."

Guan Hongri smiled faintly, not looking apologetic at all.

"Guan Hongri wins."

The result was obvious.

Jiang Han was no match for Guan Hongri, a six-star king.

But Chen Yu was back.

The former first on the Heaven Martial Roll and the current first on the Heaven Martial Roll. Who was stronger?

"It should be Senior Brother Guan. After all, to become a six-star king, hard work, talent, and luck are all necessary. Chen Yu might not be able to become a six-star king."

"It looks like Guan Hongri wants to have another battle with Chen Yu."

Whoosh!

Guan Hongri flew out of the arena with Qu Nanxiang.

Qu Nanxiang followed with a smile. It was obvious that Guan Hongri wanted to challenge Chen Yu to avenge his previous humiliation.

Guan Hongri had become a six-star king a decade ago.

The reason why he wasn't in a hurry to break through to the Mysterious Nether Realm was because he wanted to challenge Chen Yu. If he challenged Chen Yu with his Mysterious Nether Realm cultivation after breaking through, even if he won, he would only be a joke.

The spectators could also see that Guan Hongri was going to find Chen Yu, so they immediately followed.

…

After Chen Yu left the Celestial Sect Master's residence, he left with Ye Luofeng.

"Let's go find a good cave abode."

Chen Yu accompanied Ye Luofeng as they left the peak of the Celestial Sect.

The peak of the mountain was the core of the Celestial Sect, and the lower part was where the disciples lived.

Since Ye Luofeng wasn't a disciple of the Celestial Sect, she could only stay at the waist of the mountain.

After walking for a short distance, Chen Yu bumped into a familiar face, Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian's talent was at the peak of the human race. His age wasn't much older than Chen Yu, but he was already a five-star king.

As expected of a peak-level genius, a disciple of a Deity Realm clan!

"Senior Brother, are you here to seek advice from Master again?"

Chen Yu greeted.

After all, they were from the same sect. Although their relationship wasn't good, it wasn't too bad.

Qin Wentian's expression stiffened. Chen Yu's words made it seem as though he frequently went to seek advice from Master, which made him seem stupid.

"No, I'm just strolling around."

Qin Wentian casually found an excuse.

In reality, he was indeed here to seek advice from the Celestial Sect Master. He wanted to take a look at Chen Yu's improvement in recent years.

Now that he had bumped into Chen Yu, it wasn't that important to seek advice from him.

Right now, he was a five-star king. Although he couldn't see through Chen Yu's cultivation, he could clearly sense that Chen Yu was extremely strong!

At this moment, silhouettes appeared one after another. There were many familiar faces among them.

However, he wasn't familiar with most of them. For example, Geng Handong, Lin Yuxuan's best friend Luo Yulian, Sun Tianlong, etc.

At the start, Chen Yu also felt that it was strange. He, as the number one ranker of the Heavenly Martial Rankings, didn't meet many people here. Now, it was normal for people to flock to him.

"You seem to be quite popular."

Ye Luofeng laughed.

"The Celestial Sect's disciple ranking list, number one on the Heavenly Martial Rankings."

Chen Yu very naturally stated his battle achievements.

Even if Ye Luofeng didn't know about the Heavenly Martial Rankings, she knew how strong the Deity Realm Sect was. She could also sense the talent of the disciples in the surroundings.

The number one ranker of the Heavenly Martial Rankings was definitely a great honor.

"Haha, Chen, you are wrong. You used to be number one, but now you are number two."

In the crowd, Qu Nanxiang heard Chen Yu's words the moment he arrived and laughed.

"Number two?"

Chen Yu was slightly puzzled. After hearing the discussions around him, he understood the rules of the Heavenly Martial Rankings.

Because he hadn't returned for a long time, his ranking had actually shifted back.

However, being number two on the Heavenly Martial Rankings was also very powerful.

Now that he didn't have the generous rewards to motivate him, Chen Yu didn't have a strong desire to be number one on the Heavenly Martial Rankings.

"Chen, I'm sorry. Your Senior Brother, I snatched your ranking."

Guan Hongri seemed to be showing off. "However, Junior Brother, you haven't returned to the Sect for tens of years. This can't be helped. If Junior Brother wants to take back the number one position, I welcome you anytime."

"I don't have such plans for now."

Chen Yu didn't have a good impression of Guan Hongri.

Guan Hongri was stunned. Initially, he thought that if he said that, Chen Yu would immediately challenge him and take back the number one position.

He didn't expect Ye Futian to be so calm. Did he really not care about being number one on the Heavenly Martial Rankings?

"No, he must have seen through my true cultivation level. He doesn't have any confidence!"

Guan Hongri was very sure of this possibility.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Lin Yuxuan is here."

After Lin Yuxuan knew that Chen Yu had returned, she came out of seclusion.

"Isn't it because Chen Yu is back? If not, why would Lin Yuxuan come out?"

"I haven't seen Senior Sister Lin for 75 years. She's even more beautiful now!"

From afar, a graceful silhouette could be seen floating over. She was wearing a simple Celestial Sect disciple's uniform. She looked extremely beautiful when she wore it. Her face was flawless, and her amethyst hair fluttered in the wind.

"Chen, you've returned to the Sect."

Lin Yuxuan came in front of Chen Yu. Her amethyst eyes shone brightly.

In the next moment, Lin Yuxuan's gaze landed on Ye Luofeng, who was standing beside her. Coincidentally, Ye Luofeng was also looking at her.

Due to their women's intuition, both of them felt that this woman in front of them was a threat to them.

The surrounding people started to look at Ye Luofeng carefully.

"It's another beautiful woman. Who is she? I've never seen her before! "

"She must have been brought here by Chen Yu. That kid's luck with women is pretty good."

"How did all his luck with women end up with him? He already has Senior Sister Lin. How did he manage to hook up with such a beautiful fairy?"

The discussions around them confirmed Ye Luofeng's suspicions.

Chen Yu felt a headache coming on.

"Chen, you're such a flirt. You're two-timing. I've misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a person."

At this moment, Guan Hongri said in disdain.

He was extremely jealous of Chen Yu. Lin Yuxuan had been in seclusion for over 75 years. In the end, she came out the moment Chen Yu returned.

Chen Yu was truly despicable. He already had Lin Yuxuan, but he still hooked up with other girls.

Guan Hongri did not care about their relationship as fellow disciples. He "exposed" Chen Yu and insulted him without restraint.

The situation was chaotic to begin with. Chen Yu was even more disgusted by Guan Hongri's behavior.

"Chen Yu, I challenge you. Let me see how much progress you've made in the past few years. Or have you focused all your energy on women?"

Guan Hongri officially issued a challenge.

"If I accept the challenge, you'll regret it later."

Chen Yu sneered.

Guan Hongri's eyes shone brightly when he heard this. His golden hair fluttered in the wind. "Cut the crap. Have you become such a coward?"

The atmosphere was tense. No one spoke.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chen Yu and Guan Hongri flew out at the same time. Their target was the Tianwu Arena.
