Zhou Dian could not help but curse,"Bullshit! Our Ming Cult is open and aboveboard. We're not as despicable as you think, brat!”
Yang Dingtian waved his hand and said," Back then, I made a promise to your father. It was stated that the time and location of the martial arts competition would be decided by his descendants. A man's word carries weight!”
Madam Yang sat beside him and said worriedly,""Dingtian, you don't know how to swim…"
Yang Dingtian shook his head when he heard this, indicating for her not to continue.
Han Qianye sneered and took out a dagger from his sleeve.""This dagger was left behind by my late father. If Cult Master Yang is afraid of death and admits defeat, please kowtow three times to the dagger. From now on, our grudges will naturally be written off!”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the disciples present changed drastically.
"Han, you're too condescending!" Wei Yixiao said coldly.”
"Humph! What shameless boasting!" The cloth bag monk said indignantly.
Light Right Emissary Fan Yao, who had always been a man of few words, couldn't help but say,""He deliberately humiliated our Ming Cult. Cult Master must not suffer such humiliation!”
Han Qianye suddenly burst into laughter and said,""The dignified Ming Cult can't be going back on their words, right? Whether Sect Master Yang wants to compete in the cold pool or kowtow to the dagger, it's up to you!”
The current situation was very obvious. Once Yang Dingtian admitted defeat and kowtowed three times in front of the dagger, Han Qianye would use the dagger to commit suicide to prevent himself from dying in the hands of the Ming Cult.
At this moment, the entire Sacred Fire Hall was abnormally quiet. There was not a single sound. Although the Ming Cult had the Left and Right Light Emissaries, the Three Karmapas, and the Five Rogues, who were all highly skilled in martial arts, and there was no lack of resourceful people among them, they were still at their wits 'end when faced with such a difficult problem. This was because they were all very clear that Han Qianye's actions were clearly to force Yang Dingtian to death to take revenge for his father's defeat back then before committing suicide.
Hu Qingyang could not help but say to Ling Yihan beside him anxiously,""What should we do? What should he do? If this continued, wouldn't Cult Master Yang's reputation be ruined?”
"Ding! You've triggered a side mission: Defeat Han Qianye. The reward for completing the mission was the peerless palm technique of the Palace of Transforming Flowers, Transforming Flowers and Receiving Jade.”The system's voice suddenly sounded in Ling Yihan's mind.
" The mission came just in time…" Ling Yihan was secretly delighted.
He looked at Hu Qingyang and said with a playful smile,""If I can solve this problem, are you willing to reward me?”
Hearing this, Hu Qingyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.""My good brother, you're still joking with me at a time like this? If you can really help the Ming Cult solve this problem, I…I'll let you do whatever you want…"
She was extremely anxious at the moment and blurted it out without even thinking. She felt that even so many Ming Cult experts were helpless about such a difficult problem. How could Ling Yihan solve it alone?
"Alright, you said it. Don't go back on your word.”Ling Yihan could not help but laugh when he heard this.
At this moment, he gently moved his body and used his ingenious movement technique to appear in front of Han Qianye. He respectfully said to Yang Dingtian,""Master, why don't you let me fight in your place and fight Young Hero Han? Since her father has a good son, Master, don't you have a good disciple? This disciple is of the same generation as Young Hero Han, so this martial arts competition is the most suitable!”
The moment he said this, all the disciples present were astonished, wondering why he called Cult Master Yang his master. However, he quickly realized that Young Master Ling was planning to pretend to be Cult Master Yang's disciple to resolve this predicament.
However, Ling Yihan had never revealed his martial arts in front of them, so they all thought that Ling Yihan was still young. Even if he knew martial arts, it might not be very high, let alone a competition in the Cold Jade Pool.
Although Yang Dingtian was grateful in his heart, he didn't want him to take the risk for him. He advised,""Good disciple, I understand your intentions, but I don't want you to get involved in this matter.”
His words were very obvious. He wanted to tell Ling Yihan that this competition was the Ming Cult's own business. As an outsider, Ling Yihan did not need to take the risk.
When Ling Yihan heard this, he smiled and said,"Master, don't you remember?" This disciple grew up by the sea and is proficient in swimming. What is a mere Cold Jade Water Pond?”
" I have no objections to this young master replacing your master." Han Qianye also sneered." However, if young master loses, Cult Master Yang will still have to kowtow…to this dagger…"
He was about to show the dagger in his hand when he realized that his hands were empty.
At this moment, Ling Yihan waved the dagger in his hand and smiled faintly.""Young Hero Han, are you looking for this?"
When everyone saw that the dagger in his hand was the one that Han Qianye had taken out from his body, they were all surprised, wondering when he had taken it from Han Qianye's hands.
"When…when did you take it from me?”Han Qianye looked at the dagger in Ling Yihan's hand and asked in shock.
Ling Yihan examined the dagger in his hand and smiled.""This broken dagger is your father's relic? I don't think the quality is very good. It's too blunt to chop off!”
As he spoke, he gripped the blade of the dagger with his bare hands, and the dagger instantly distorted.
"This lousy thing…I'll return it to you!”Ling Yihan casually threw the dagger back into Han Qianye's hands.
His action shocked everyone present. They thought to themselves that this kid looked young, but his internal strength was actually so deep. Even the Left and Right Emissaries of Light and the three Guardian Kings sighed in admiration.
Han Qianye looked at the broken blade in his hand, and his face turned green and red. He said,"This young master's internal energy is extraordinary. As expected, a great teacher produces an outstanding disciple.”
"Cut the crap. See you tomorrow at noon at the Icy Jade Lake!”Ling Yihan stared at him and said coldly.
"Alright, it's a deal!" Han Qianye nodded and said.”
With that, he left the Sacred Flame Hall without looking back.
After Yang Dingtian saw Han Qianye leave, he said solemnly,""Young Master Ling, you are too reckless…"
Ling Yihan shook his head and smiled." Don't worry, Cult Master Yang. Since I, Ling Yihan, dare to accept this competition, I naturally won't disappoint you and the brothers of the Ming Cult. Just wait for a good show tomorrow!”
"Alright then! You have to be careful in the competition tomorrow. The Icy Jade Lake is extremely cold. I know you have a lot of inner energy, but you just have to do what you can. Don't lose your life.”Yang Dingtian reminded him.
Ling Yihan nodded and replied,""En, I understand."
Although Hu Qingyang didn't say anything, he was very worried for him. Taitish, who was standing not far away, saw the scene just now and became more and more curious about Ling Yihan.
