Chapter 235 Does the Black Dragon Sect dare to accept this battle?
Above the Black Dragon Sect, several cultivators dressed in the robes of the Emperor Beast Sect walked slowly through the air.

They acted with composure, seemingly disregarding the warning bell of the Black Dragon Sect, as if the entire Black Dragon Sect were nothing more than their backyard to come and go as they pleased.

The cultivator named Chang Fen turned to the elder beside him and asked, "Elder Hu, do you think... those people from the Black Dragon Sect will agree?"

Elder Hu chuckled softly, his tone resolute: "Hehehe, of course."

“The Black Dragon Sect isn’t stupid. They know the consequences of being enemies with our Emperor Beast Sect. This time, we’ve given them a way out. They won’t refuse this dignity.”

The handsome cultivator named Chen Yunxi standing to the side also raised the corners of his mouth, his words laced with contempt.

"The Black Dragon Sect Master is only at the Immortal Realm. He only dares to be so tough because he has a sect-protecting formation. Does he really think we wouldn't dare to go to war with the Black Dragon Sect? We are determined to get that Chaos Beast!"

Hu Gu waved his hand slightly, his expression calm: "No need to rush. The Black Dragon Sect is not a pushover. Once a war breaks out, casualties are inevitable. We have many other methods, so there is no need to be hasty."

Before he finished speaking, his gaze had already turned to the distance, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Look, aren't they here to greet us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roger, the sect leader of the Black Dragon Sect, led several elders forward and blocked Hu Gu and his group.

Roger stared coldly at the Grand Elder of the Beast Emperor Sect, his brows furrowed: "Elder Hu brought only these two disciples to my Black Dragon Sect. Is this a deliberate show of force?"

Hu Gu remained calm and responded with a smile: "Sect Leader Luo, you flatter us. Our purpose in coming here is to discuss a condition with your sect. If we bring too many people, wouldn't that make your sect suspicious?"

Roger frowned and asked, "Conditions?"

Hu Gu stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly: "If our two sects were to go to war, even if my Emperor Beast Sect were to ultimately win, we would inevitably suffer some losses. Therefore, my Emperor Beast Sect Master proposes—why not let the younger generation settle this matter? What do you think?"

"Speak plainly, no need to beat around the bush." ​​Roger stared warily at Hu Gu, wondering what this old fox was up to.

"Chang Fen, Chen Yunxi," Hu Gu called out, turning his head.

"Disciples are here!" The two responded and stepped forward, their eyes flashing with the arrogance and sharpness unique to young cultivators.

"These two disciples of the Emperor Beast Sect beside me have reached the Nascent Soul Realm. They have come today to seek guidance from your sect. Their lives are left to fate, and no one is allowed to interfere."

Hu Gu's voice was loud and clear, carrying far and wide, echoing throughout the Black Dragon Sect, so that every cultivator could hear it clearly.

"For a sparring match among peers, each hall and peak of your sect can send two people. Chang Fen and Yun Xi will go in turn. If they both lose, the Black Dragon Sect will be considered the victor, and my Emperor Beast Sect will immediately withdraw without hesitation. I wonder if Sect Master Luo dares to accept this battle?"

Roger did not respond immediately, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face.

"Could it be that Sect Leader Luo is... afraid?"

Chang Fen scoffed, his tone laced with provocation.

"Don't worry, in order to be fair, we will suppress our cultivation to the early stage of the Cave Mansion Realm. Your Black Dragon Sect can just suppress your realm to the early stage of the Dragon Gate Realm. Does the entire Black Dragon Sect not even have this much courage?"

"Bah! Let me have a go at you!" a Black Dragon Sect disciple shouted angrily and stepped forward.

"Dugu Qiu! Step back!" Roger shouted sternly.

"Sect Master..." The disciple named Dugu Qiu was filled with resentment, but he dared not disobey the sect master's order, so he could only grit his teeth and retreat back into the crowd.

"We accept the challenge!"

Roger spoke in a cold voice, his tone resolute.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to accept this battle.

Young people are naturally full of vigor, and it is this vigor that enables them to go further on the path of cultivation. If one day a cultivator loses his vigor, it is probably because his spirit has been broken and his path to immortality is coming to an end.

The other party is openly provoking us. If we don't accept it, not only will we dampen the sect's morale, but the disciples will also feel resentful. At that time, even before the actual war begins, the Black Dragon Sect's momentum will already be weakened.

Moreover, in Roger's view, although he was not as powerful as the sect master of the Beast Emperor Sect, the talent of his disciples was by no means inferior to that of the disciples of the Ten Great Demonic Sects!
"Good! Sect Leader Luo is indeed straightforward!" Hu Gu clapped his hands and laughed. "Since that's the case, there's no time like the present, let's start now."

He turned to look at Chang Fen beside him and instructed, "Chang Fen, go and choose a mountain peak to have a good spar with the Daoists of the Black Dragon Sect."

"Yes, Elder!" A glint of battle-hungry excitement flashed in Chang Fen's eyes. "No need to choose, let's start with this mountain right here!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Fen had already jumped down, like a streak of light falling straight to the top of Lianhe Peak.

He stood atop the mountain, his voice, imbued with spiritual power, resounding throughout the entire Black Dragon Sect: "Bring on someone who can fight! If no one will accept the challenge, I will conquer every mountain peak and every branch of the sect!"

“Fellow Daoist, excessive arrogance is not necessarily a good thing.” Wen Lin, the eldest disciple of the Black Dragon Sect, stepped forward slowly with a long sword in hand and a solemn expression. “I am Wen Lin from Lianhe Peak of the Black Dragon Sect. Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist.”

"Among the younger generation of your mountain peak, you are the strongest?" Chang Fen frowned, his tone disdainful. "Go away, find someone else. You're not good enough for me."

Feeling slighted, Wen Lin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, you must first defeat the sword in my hand!"

Having said that, he brandished his longsword, and the sword light burst forth like lotus petals blooming, carrying a chilling sword aura as it slashed straight at Chang Fen.

"I told you long ago, you're not qualified."

Chang Fen sighed softly, seemingly helpless, and then let out a loud whistle.

"min—!"

A clear, sharp phoenix cry tore through the sky, followed by a raging inferno and a wave of scorching heat.

The flying creature resembled a divine phoenix, its entire body crimson like jade, but it was not a divine beast; rather, it was a ferocious beast.

Divine beasts and spirit beasts both belong to the demon race. They have developed intelligence, can transform into human form, and understand worldly affairs.

The ferocious beasts, however, are quite different.

Although they are born with the ability to cultivate, their bloodline limits their potential, and their intelligence is also weak.

Even the highest-ranking ferocious beasts have minds no more than that of a fourteen-year-old child.

The methods of beast taming practiced by the Emperor Beast Sect are precisely for controlling ferocious beasts.

The rank of a ferocious beast directly determines the upper limit of its master's cultivation level.

Therefore, cultivators of the Emperor Beast Sect need to frequently change their ferocious beasts.

This also leads to a scarcity of cultivators in the upper three realms within the sect—because ferocious beasts of the third rank and above are already rare, and taming them is even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

However, the "Fire Jade Phoenix" that Chang Fen summoned was actually a third-rank beast!

Huo Yufeng's strength was comparable to that of a Jade Purity Realm cultivator, yet she was tamed by a Nascent Soul cultivator, which shows that Chang Fen's talent was truly extraordinary.

"boom--!"

Fire Jade Phoenix swept through the air, its flames surging. In just a moment, Wen Lin didn't even have time to scream before he was reduced to ashes.
