PPPC 44 - Dragon Valley
The distance between the Sword Valley and the Dragon Valley was far, but the news of Qie Xumao's exit from the Sword Valley spread quickly.
Rumors of the coldness of the Sword Valley's relationship with the Thousand Sword Sect grew increasingly heated.
The Sword Valley which was the strongest sect of the white stream certainly had strength on par with the Thousand Sword Sect, but with the retreat of Qie Xumao made the power of the Sword Valley weaken.
The existence of Feng Lao was worth reckoning with and it made the Thousand Swords Sect not act rashly. Moreover, the formation of the Sacred Lotus Alliance that consisted of an entire white and neutral sect could not make the sects that belonged to the Sacred Lotus Alliance act as they pleased.
Now all the white and neutral warriors in the Yin Empire flocked to the Dragon Valley. Each sect sent their best disciple representatives, but not only the white and neutral sect that participated in the Yin Tiger Tournament but the four great families of the Yin Empire also contributed to sending their best representatives.
Tournaments like this are very sensitive to intrusion. The incident happened frequently and made the security in the Dragon Valley tighter than usual.
The figure of the strongest white and neutral warrior named Long Jirou who served as the Patriarch of the Dragon Valley and the Chairman of the Sacred Lotus Alliance would certainly make black warriors think twice about infiltrating or attacking Dragon Valley.
By killing the young generation of white and neutral streams will certainly make the black flow more profitable in the future, but the price they have to pay is also expensive.
You could say the Yin Tiger Tournament this year was very special because of the number of young swordsmen who were trained directly by the famous warriors in the Yin Empire.
Call it Yue Lian who was the grandson of Dao Tao who served as the Patriarch of the Peach Valley and there was also Long Xiaoya who was the grandson of the Dragon Valley Patriarch and many more Yin Jinxia the Princess of Emperor Yin.
The gathering of these young generations is certainly a breath of fresh air for white and neutral streams to prove the future quality of their successors.
There were several names championed such as Wei Hongyun, Lin She and Qie Yang. These three names each represented the Peach Valley, the Dragon Valley and the Thousand Swords Sect.
After a long day, the day that had been waiting finally arrived. The large gate that has a dragon carving is filled with lanterns to welcome the Yin Tiger Tournament which will be held tomorrow.
Fei Chen was already at one of the inns that the Dragon Valley provided with Tian Hu, Jia Li and Tian Zhou.
On the way Fei Chen got to know the figure of Tian Hu who was very humble and very considerate to Tian Zhou including himself and Jia Li.
“Eat that much you three. Tomorrow you will have a hard day. Looks like this year is very interesting.” Tian Hu bought a number of foods that could only be found in the Dragon Valley such as the Thunder Eagle Soup and the Lightning Chicken Sate.
“Zhouter, eat a lot. You should also eat a lot of Chen, Li.” Tian Hu smiled widely as he offered food.
“Thank you, Elder Hu. Junior will eat a lot according to the orders of Elder Hu.” In contrast to Jia Li, Fei Chen actually added his meal by taking the Eagle Thunder Soup and the Lightning Chicken Sate.
“From the flesh of the Devil Beast and it tastes very delicious. This is very helpful to our development is not it, Brother Fei?” Tian Zhou was seen enjoying the Lightning Chicken Sate and also the Thunder Eagle Soup.
Fei Chen nodded. He agreed with Tian Zhou. While in the Sword Valley, he always had Luo Rou make a dish out of the flesh of the Demon Beasts that he stored in the Dragon Dimension.
“Do you not want to add Li?” Tian Hu smiled as he saw Jia Li holding back.
Fei Chen took back the bowl of Thunder Eagle Soup and a plate of Lightning Chicken Sate and then gave it to Jia Li.
“Don't be stubborn, eat. We've traveled a long way. Although there are no significant obstacles, but tomorrow we have to compete in the Yin Tiger Tournament. Our preparation is short, Lili.”
Fei Chen realized his entourage until the late afternoon and evening they stayed over while the next day they would go straight to the Yin Tiger Tournament.
There was no time for a full day of rest or to enjoy the natural beauty of the Dragon Valley. Fei Chen reminded Jia Li to keep his stamina.
“Chen, are you aiming for first place in this tournament? In a sense you want to be champion.” Tian Hu asked on the sidelines of Fei Chen and Jia Li's conversation.
Fei Chen was silent for a moment. Actually Fei Chen was neither too ambitious nor interested in following and pursuing the title in the Yin Tiger Tournament, but he wanted to scent the name Feng Lao was always his teacher or the Sword Valley who had accepted him for the past two years.
“Chairman Hu, Junior just wants to know how far Junior has progressed over these two years. But aiming for the top position is Junior's main goal as it concerns the name of Sword Valley and Master,” Fei Chen replied.
Tian Hu smiled at Fei Chen's reply.
‘Hopefully nothing happened as desired. Sword Valley is very lucky to have a person like you who is a member, Chen.’ Tian Hu was implying while watching Fei Chen.
According to Tian Hu Fei Chen's potential was unlimited. His age is still young even younger than the name of the champion champion champion. Tian Hu was very confident that in the future Fei Chen would surpass himself or Feng Lao.
“Do not forget after this break.” Tian Hu again warned Tian Zhou, Fei Chen and Jia Li not to sleep too late at night.
Seconds by second passed and the crowd began to come to the Dragon Valley to witness the Yin Tiger Tournament in person.
