Human Clan Defender-Chapter 844 - 19-20: Heavens in Palm (Double - )

If a Divine King forcibly broke through the Mountain-Protecting Array, then that's another matter.

It's just that.

Currently, the Candle Sect only has one Divine King stationed here, and in unnecessary situations, Shen Changqing believes Zhongshan Dongxuan wouldn't attack his Mountain-Protecting Array.

"What remains is to activate the formation of my main hall!"

Shen Changqing returned to the main hall and reactivated another layer of the formation.

The Mountain-Protecting Array.

It was intended to shield the perception of powerful beings from the outside world towards Qiu Peak, while the main hall's formation was to ensure that the commotion wouldn't leak from Qiu Peak.

After all.

He also has experience in upgrading divine skills.

Every upgrade always causes quite a commotion.

When he was with the Human Clan, causing a commotion didn't matter much.

But within the Candle Sect, he must act carefully and cautiously.

The reason for choosing the Heavens in Palm was due to Shen Changqing's own considerations.

This divine skill.

To speak accurately, is a hereditary divine skill of Zhongshan Chou's family.

Thus, if he could master this divine skill to perfection, not only would it display exceptional talent, but it would also be entirely reasonable.

Considering this aspect, he decided to study the Heavens in Palm.

——

"A challenge letter. It seems he is entirely confident. As expected of the son of Zhongshan Baiyue, unwilling to accept his current state!"

Upon hearing the report, a faint smile appeared on Zhongshan Dongxuan's usually calm face.

Upon hearing this.

Zhongshan Xia, who stood before him, frowned.

"Sect Master thinks that he can succeed?"

"Whether he can succeed, I do not know, but I have some confidence in Zhongshan Baiyue. Zhongshan Chou is his son; the tiger does not father a dog. I think there should be no problem."

Zhongshan Dongxuan said in an indifferent tone.

Upon hearing the name Zhongshan Baiyue, Zhongshan Xia's expression showed a trace of regret.

"Zhongshan Baiyue is indeed a pity."

"A pity?"

Zhongshan Dongxuan slightly shook his head.

"He is not a pity. To slay a Divine King with a Divine Realm body is a monumental feat. Even though he did not successfully break through, he has elevated the prestige of our Zhongshan Clan.

He has also made it clear to other clans that the strong of the Zhongshan Clan, even in the Divine Realm, are not to be belittled by a Divine King."

Divine Realm God Slayer!

Among the Heavens Myriad Clans, there are very few powerful beings who can achieve this level.

Those who succeed and do not fall later inevitably become formidable figures in their domain.

Zhongshan Xia said in a deep voice, "Behind Zhongshan Sheng and Zhongshan Ping, each has an Elder supporting them. Now that Zhongshan Chou is challenging both of them, I suspect the Elders backing them might make some moves!"

He knows well.

The reason why Zhongshan Chou is doing this.

The two direct disciples he challenges now both follow deities that the Qingfeng Clan believes in.

Therefore.

Challenging both at once is aimed at seizing faith.

When faith is involved, it could lead to many complications later.

It can be said.

Behind every direct disciple, there is always an Elder present.

In cases like Zhongshan Chou, it is quite rare as the Elder standing behind him has fallen, making his background somewhat less substantial compared to other direct disciples.

In this way.

It's hard to ensure that Elders, seeing this, won't take any measures.

Zhongshan Dongxuan calmly stated, "The rules of the Candle Sect cannot be broken by any powerful being. Since you have a good relationship with Zhongshan Baiyue, you should keep an eye on Zhongshan Chou. If anyone indeed dares to break the rules, then act as needed."

"Alright."

——

Following the activation of Qiu Peak's Mountain-Protecting Array, Shen Changqing went into seclusion, and the Candle Sect remained not entirely peaceful.

The contents of the challenge letter are now public: it would take place in a month and a half.

A month and a half.

It's not particularly long for the disciples of the Candle Sect.

The creatures from the Heavens Myriad Clans generally have much longer lifespans than humans. Therefore, a month and a half is but a fleeting moment compared to their long lifespans.

Compared to this short wait, they are more curious about the outcome a month and a half later.

Outside Qiu Peak.

Zhongshan Xia, with arms crossed over his sword, appeared directly in front of an elegant old man.

"Elder Four, please hold your step!"

"Elder Xia!"

Seeing the visitor, Elder Four's face slightly changed.

Then.

His expression turned somber.

"What does this mean, Elder Xia? Is the old man now under your control even when walking within the Candle Sect?"

"I cannot control where Elder Four wishes to go, but ahead lies Qiu Peak. According to the rules, once the Mountain Protection Array is activated, no one can break it without a decree from the Sect Master.

Regarding this, Elder Four should not be unaware, correct?"

Zhongshan Xia maintained a calm demeanor, keeping his eyes low as he spoke.

"Currently, I am the temporary Protector of Qiu Peak. I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to violate the sect's rules. If Elder Four insists on breaking through, perhaps you should first consult my sword."

"Very well, very well indeed!"

Elder Four laughed in anger.

Staring at Zhongshan Xia before him, his chest heaved violently, yet he did not make a move.

For no other reason.

He was simply uncertain.

Though Zhongshan Xia's ranking amongst the Elders was not particularly high, his strength was always considered unfathomable. Even if he were to strike, there was no absolute certainty of subduing him.

This visit to Qiu Peak.

To put it bluntly.

Was merely to see if there was an opportunity to interfere just a bit.

Having been stopped by Zhongshan Xia, Elder Four abandoned his initial plans.

Giving him a cold glance, he turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.

"I will remember Elder Xia's words today. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will certainly try to learn from you."
