Once he said that, an even stronger aura exploded out from Chen Yu's body.

The fiery fist glow was like the rising sun. The fiery red light made everyone unable to open their eyes.

Chen Sha's body actually flew backwards, crashing into the courtyard and fainting on the spot!

"How arrogant!"

The other six rogue cultivators looked at each other. They could see the understanding in each other's eyes.

This was because the youth wearing the silver mask had said what they wanted to say but did not dare to!

As for Xiahou Shang, Li Yu, and Zhao Guang, they were also shocked by Chen Yu's methods and did not speak for a long time.

A long while later, Xiahou Shang was the first to break the deadlock and say:

"Hehe, this brother's strength is indeed extraordinary. Since you have defeated Chen Sha, why don't you take the position of vice leader and leave it to you …"

"Who's brothers with trash like you?!" Without waiting for Xiahou Shang to finish speaking, Chen Yu immediately interrupted him and said.

"I don't care about the position of vice leader. I only want the position of vice leader. As for vice leader, who's willing to take it!"

Chen Yu's words were overbearing, not leaving the slightest bit of face for Xiahou Shang.

"Aren't you being a little too overbearing?!" A look of displeasure appeared on Xiahou Sheng's injured face as he said, "You want to be the leader. Did you ask these people for their opinion?!"

"Hahahaha …" After Chen Yu heard this, he burst out laughing!

"Xiahou Shang, when you said you were the strongest, did you ever ask me if I would allow you to be the leader?!" Now that you realize that I am the strongest, and recalled that you can only be the leader with everyone's consent, isn't that too laughable! " Chen Yu said in disdain.

"As martial artists, we should respect martial arts. Strength is the power to speak. I wonder, who has any objections?" Chen Yu turned around, his indifferent eyes sweeping across the crowd, causing them all to feel a chill on their bodies, no one daring to say anything.

Just then, Duan Sha, the Third Security Guard came to the center of the courtyard.

"The Martial King Meet is about to begin, may I know if you ten have chosen a general team?!"

"Yes, I have." Chen Yu answered: "I am the leader of this group."

Hearing that, Duan Sha looked around to see other people's reactions.

Although everyone had a strange expression, no one objected, and so they nodded to Chen Yu:

"If that's the case, then come with me."

With that said, Duan Sha brought Chen Yu and the other nine people with him and walked towards the courtyard.

When Chen Yu and the others arrived at the courtyard, they realized that the people in the main stand were all happily chatting with each other.

These people were mostly discussing whether or not the young elites of this year's Martial King Banquet would be able to make Martial King look at them in a new light.

The various Patriarchs were very confident of the young disciples they had sent out.

When the Third Guard Duan Sha brought Chen Yu and the others over to temporarily see the empress dowager, all of the people who were participating in this Martial King banquet were already present.

"Haha, it seems that everyone is the same as me. I can't wait to see the strength of the young people." The Martial King said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness, all of the past Martial King banquets have been dazzling. I believe that this session will definitely let us have a feast for our eyes."

"I hope that you, your highness, can broaden our horizons as soon as possible!"

"I wonder which disciple will be at the top of the Martial King's Banquet this time!"

"Can't he be a rogue cultivator?!"

"Hahaha …" "You sure know how to joke around..."

"Alright."

The Martial King stood up slowly and smiled: "My Xuanwu Empire rules the vast and limitless territories, there is no limit to my talents. As long as I have an absolutely outstanding talent, I, Yuwen Xi, will definitely not bury his talent, and I will do my best to make him into a genius amongst geniuses."

The moment Martial King's voice fell, all the people present practically praised at the same time: "Martial King's High Festival!"

"I believe that everyone present will understand the rules of the Martial King Banquet. Next, we will wait and see which family's young hero can become the main character of this banquet!"

With that, Martial King raised the wine cup in his hand and said loudly: "Come, everyone, let me see the glory of the young geniuses of the Xuanwu Empire!"

"Yes sir!" As the cheers of the crowd were heard, the blood of the young men below the stage was already boiling.

They knew that their chance to show off had come.

Being able to leave a good impression in front of the Martial King was of great importance to the future.

As for the weaker cultivators, they were a bit nervous.

After all, if one was not careful, they would lose face in front of the higher ups of the Xuanwu Empire.

If so, the future was bleak.

Following which, the number one ranked Great Guard Zhou Qi, one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors under the Martial King, stepped forward and announced:

"Each participating team leader, please arrange your own participants and begin the competition!"

As the sound of his voice faded, the leaders of the eleven participants all stared at each other.

After all, no one wished to lose face if they were able to ascend to this stage, which could be said to be the biggest stage of the Xuanwu Empire.

The next moment, a figure flew out from the first viewing platform and landed on the grandstand.

This person's name was Xiahou Ba, and his aura was incomparably sharp.

Upon seeing this person, everyone knew that the Xiahou Family was preparing to take the initiative.

"I want to challenge the young experts of the Chen Clan. Would anyone be willing to fight me?"

Seeing how Xiahou Ba was so determined to win, the Chen Wang's eyes flashed. He said to the group leader behind him, "Chen Ruo, come and fight."

Seeing the candidate Chen Wang had chosen, Chen Yu knew, Chen Wang was prepared to give up on the first battle.

After all, from the aura, it could be seen that Xia Hou Ba had at least the strength of Sixth Stage of the Martial Dao, and Chen Ruo only had the strength of the fifth level of the martial path.

The result was as expected. Chen Ruo was not in Xiahou Ba's hands, and she had not even lasted three rounds before she was defeated.

Following that, the second viewing platform's Wang Clan also challenged Chen Ruo.

As expected, Chen Ruo didn't lose another match.

Following that, the third, fourth, and fifth stands …

Everyone seemed to regard Chen Ruo as a soft persimmon who could be easily taken advantage of.

Chen Ruochen was defeated one after another.

In the end, Chen Ruo didn't even have a trace of confidence left. Even Zhao Guang, who was sent out from the impromptu grandstand, won a victory from him.

After the first round of battles had ended, Chen Ruo's result of not being able to win all ten matches had been decided ahead of time.

This result caused Chen Wang, the leader of the Chen Clan, to have an extremely unsightly expression on his face.
