C89 I will be the Center of Attention

At this moment, in the Yanjing City, everyone could see the scene of thunder that was beyond their imagination. Only the experts knew that this was not a natural change, but something done by someone.

To be able to use such a powerful technique, the latter must be an extremely powerful expert. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to check it out, but there were still some people who quietly moved towards the place where the thunder had fallen.

After all, if such an expert could be kept in their hands, it would be a lot of benefits even if it was regarded as a tribute.

At this time, in front of the rocky mound, Chu Tian was already standing on the scorched earth. The rocky mound had already been razed to the ground, and the rubble had already been reduced to rubble by the countless Thunder Light.

Chu Tian couldn't help but secretly wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He was too anxious to see the power of the Hidden Edge, but he had neglected the control of his magic treasure, which led to the scene just now.

If he had stayed where he was just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Among the five elements of the heaven and earth, the lightning element fire was the ultimate fire, and its power was unparalleled. However, this kind of power was the most difficult to control, which was why the scene just now had happened.

At this time, Chu Tian had already retracted his hidden blade. On the dagger, there were many lightning snakes moving above it.

"It seems like with my current strength, it's still impossible to completely control this hidden blade." Chu Tian sighed helplessly.

Although the power of the Hidden Edge was boundless, even a Life Death Stage warrior would die if they were careless in front of it.

After all, a Life Death Stage warrior had yet to step into the Thunder Tribulation, so he was helpless against this kind of lightning.

After putting away the Hidden Edge, Chu Tian quickly used his movement technique to escape from this place. With such a huge commotion just now, it was likely that many people from the Yanjing City would come here to investigate. If he stayed here any longer, it would bring him a lot of trouble.

At this moment, Chu Tian, who was shuttling back and forth in the woods, suddenly felt a terrifying Qi locking onto his body. This Qi was extremely terrifying, and it was definitely not something he could withstand.

Chu Tian couldn't help but stretch his palm into his chest. He wanted to take out the hidden blade to defend himself, but he immediately suppressed this thought.

Even if his opponent could defeat him with the help of the hidden blade, he wouldn't be able to escape death with his strength that he couldn't control.

Just like that, Chu Tian froze in the woods, not daring to move. In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a white-haired old man. The latter had a profound look in his eyes, as if he could see through Chu Tian's heart. Chu Tian immediately calmed his mind to prevent the latter from seeing through him.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The old man's voice was quite hoarse.

"Senior, this junior is a disciple of the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect. Initially, I wanted to complete the task of collecting spiritual herbs here, but I didn't expect that a strange phenomenon would suddenly appear in the sky. Countless green lightning bolts fell from the sky, causing this junior to panic and flee here." Chu Tian said.

The old man gave Chu Tian a deep look, then retracted his gaze.

"This is not a place you can stay. Leave now." The old man said.

"Thank you, senior. Junior will leave now." Chu Tiandao.

The old man nodded and disappeared in a flash. Chu Tian quickly left the place.

At this moment, he was quite shocked in his heart. The old man just now was at least at the Life Death Stage Late Period, and he was even at the Great Perfection. His strength was quite shocking.

His skill was already very fast. He had never thought that this person would be able to reach this place in such a short period of time from the Yanjing City.

The reason he was suspicious of Chu Tian was because he could tell that Chu Tian was a Divine Ability Stage. Even a Life Death Stage might not be able to create such a commotion, let alone a Divine Ability Stage.

That was why this old man believed Chu Tian's words. For the sake of being cautious, Chu Tian did not return to Yanjing City directly. Instead, he headed towards the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect first.

He did not know if the old man was still hiding in the dark and following him. For the sake of being cautious, he did not want to give himself away.

When he was close to the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect, Chu Tian stopped and rushed towards the Yanjing City. When he returned to the Yanjing City, the sky was already bright.

At this moment, the old man was already waiting for him in Qing Kangping's mansion.

"Mr. Chu, you have finally returned. Last night, there was a strange phenomenon outside the Yanjing City, and you were nowhere to be found. I thought you were involved in it." Qing Kangping said.

"I'm sorry, I had a breakthrough in my cultivation last night. That's why I took the chance to leave." Chu Tian said.

Hearing his words, Qing Kangping heaved a sigh of relief. The latter didn't suspect him. After all, it was impossible for such a phenomenon to be related to a Divine Ability Stage.

Qing Kangping merely paid a little attention to Chu Tian. After which, he changed the topic of the conversation to the main topic.

"Mr. Chu, I have already taken care of it. The competition has also been agreed upon. Kuixing was willing to accept the competition. This competition would be held tomorrow. I wonder if you need me to prepare anything for you. I will do my best. " Qing Kangping said.

After all, this was a matter of great importance. If this matter couldn't be resolved safely, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kangping. I will do my best." Chu Tian said.

Qing Kangping felt relieved when he heard Chu Tian's words. He knew Chu Tian's strength very well. If Kuixing confronted Chu Tian with his own strength, he would have no chance of winning.

If Kuixing dared to drag out the expert from the shadows during the competition, he would reveal his true colors at that time. This engagement would also be left unsettled.

After this, Qing Kangping did not continue to disturb Chu Tian in order to allow Chu Tian to adjust his condition.

Chu Tian returned to his room alone and took out his magic weapon, Hidden Edge, once again. He had already witnessed the power of this treasure, but if he couldn't restrict it, he was afraid that some people would find out about it in tomorrow's competition.

Therefore, Chu Tian was still busy at the moment.

The next morning, Chu Tian walked out of his room and followed Qing Kangping into the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the palace was unprecedentedly grand. All the civil and military officials had arrived. Everyone had heard the news of the competition.

This competition was of great importance, and it also affected the reputation of Cloud Rising Country. Therefore, they naturally wouldn't dare to neglect it. All of this had probably happened while Chu Tian was in seclusion.

During this period of time, Qing Kangping had probably spent some effort. Although he had already obtained the recognition of the Emperor, it was not that simple to facilitate this matter.

From this, it could be seen that Qing Kangping had some influence in the Imperial Court. When they arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

After all, it was Qing Kangping who was leading all of this. At this moment, many people had also gathered. They were afraid that they were all from the faction that supported Qing Kangping.

However, Chu Tian could also tell that most of the people who greeted Qing Kangping were civil servants. This was very normal. After all, Qing Kangping had a good relationship with Grand Master Xu Yi.

Most of these civil servants were Xu Yi's students. At this time, other than greeting Qing Kangping, many of them looked at Chu Tian.

"I have long heard that Mr. Chu is a great talent. Even my teacher's chess skills are not as good as yours. Today's meeting is indeed extraordinary. Mr. Chu is so young and accomplished. He will definitely win this time."

Everyone nodded their heads. Now, everyone knew about the chess match between Chu Tian and Xu Yi. One of the reasons was probably because of Qing Kangping's support.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage could be heard. It was Grand Master Xu Yi's carriage. When they saw the arrival of the carriage, all of the officials gathered and waited by the side of the carriage.

Even those arrogant military officials did not dare to be impudent in front of Xu Yi. This showed Xu Yi's reputation.
