Chapter 434 Sparks (Part Two)


    He had pinned a lot of hopes this time but with Yehudi''s failure at the very beginning of thepetition,


    the hearts of Master Wen and other masters of Drizzle Peak had sunk to the bottom.


    However, to all of their surprises, Zen had powered through every match and ovee every


    opponent, regardless of how strong they were. He had kept on winning all the time and had finally


    arrived at stage that he was in now. Master Wen''s hopes nowy on him now.


    Apart from letting out a cry of exmation, he truly did not know what else to say.


    ''It''s a pity that Aura is not here to see this. I wonder what would her expressions be if she could see her


    favorite disciple achieve so many things..'' Master Wen wondered in his head.


    ''Unfortunately, a rumor has swept through the entire Burning Sky Empire these days—the Burning Sky


    Pce is suffering from an internal strife. Some princes are scrambling for the throne, and somehow


    Aura is involved in it. What a shame...''

    Master Wen was, after all, a master from the same peak as Aura was. The two knew each other well,


    and that was one of the primary reasons he had been keeping an eye on the Burning Sky Pce and


    collecting information about Aura. But given that his position was not very high in the hierarchy, he was


    not so well-informed as Saint Viana was. ordingly, he had no idea that Aura had already been put


    under house confinement.


    Considering thepleteck of messages from Aura, he naturally deducted that Aura was not doing


    very well and might even be under some sort of confinement.


    Unfortunately, there was nothing that he could do to help her.


    And at that moment, Master Wen''s eyes lit up suddenly! He had had an idea.


    ''Zen!


    Perhaps Zen can help Aura!


    He has just defeated Tracy. As long as he doesn''t act below par, there is no doubt that he is going to


    make it to the top 3! He is totally qualified to try the Cloud Road!


    If he really does pass the test of the Cloud Road and gets admitted into the Cloud Hall, he would be


    able to assist Aura.


    If Zen joins the Cloud Hall, then it is true that most probably, his strength won''t be able to match Elder


    Xu or Keh of Cloud Sect in a short spell, but I am sure that he is going to be of a lot of help. After


    all, if inside the Cloud Hall, his future is going to be limitless, which means that even Keh would


    have to take his words into ount!


    Ever since Kane, the emperor of the Burning Sky Pce, disappeared, Keh has been the only one


    who couldmand the ce.


    Cloud Sect has yed an indispensable role throughout the history of the Burning Sky Empire. It even


    helped several emperors fight their way to the throne. Cloud Sect was even powerful enough to take


    control over the whole Burning Sky Pce in the past once.''


    ''But ever since Kane has marched into the Cloud Hall with his amazing talents, his power has be


    even more impressive than Keh''s, and that gave him more leverage. The moment Kane started to


    rule the Burning Sky Empire, it began to break free from the control of Cloud Sect. After all, Kane''s


    position is not beneath Keh''s.


    Kane and Keh are both working for Cloud Hall, and that is the sole reason why the powerful


    Burning Sky Pce and the mighty Cloud Sect have had no serious conflicts until now.''


    ''However, with the disappearance of Emperor Kane, whose return to the empire alive and well is


    uncertain, it''s a good time for Keh to take over again in this turbulent situation. Unfortunately,


    Keh does not seem tempted by this idea and that beats mepletely. Instead, he has just let


    those princes fight each other in the pce.''


    Based on all the information that Master Wen had collected, all he could do was analyze the situation


    ande up with ns. Other means and ideas were simply out of his reach given his present


    position.


    Staring at Zen, who was sitting cross-legged a short distance away, Master Wen decided to have a


    serious conversation with him when the All Peaks Competition was over. He believed that Zen would


    not ignore the hardship Aura was enduring. After all, he couldn''t have forgotten the grace that Aura had


    bestowed on him.


    When the round-robin came to this point, the ranking of most of the participants had already settled,


    with only the top 5 somewhat disputable!


    First to mention were two ck horses—Zen and Rocher, both of whom had not lost a single match so


    far. Zen had even vanquished Tracy, who had the body of a Blue Phoenix. In light of that, the entire


    crowd was under the impression that he could be one of the top 3. However, his exact position in that


    trio wasn''t decided yet.


    Rocher still had not unsheathed his sword, but had still managed several victories, which meant that


    his power was unfathomably high. Ever since he had gotten into the round-robin, he had easily


    defeated his opponents without demonstrating any impressive skills, so everyone believed Rocher had


    the ability to make it to top 5.


    Next were Patrick and Jacques. These two were the best out of all personal disciples. If everything


    went their way, then the crowd had a general agreement that they would end up the champion and the


    runner-up respectively.


    As to Tracy, she seemed quite dispirited over herst failure, so no one knew whether she woulde


    onto the stage again. But if she did, then there were very high chances that she would find herself in


    the top 5.


    However, no matter how much they calcted, there was one more person who was probably going to


    influence the ranking of the All Peaks Competition. Once he entered thepetition, then it was


    certain that every participant was going to fall one rank lower.


    That figure was Evan.


    Evan had earned the title of the top personal disciple on Cloud Sect and his powers were widely


    acknowledged all around. Everyone respected him and thought that he would always remain the top


    disciple.


    However, Evan was still in the middle of a close-door training and no one knew if he was going to


    come. They were all wondering whether he would meddle in the final of the round-robin. Therefore, he


    was an unpredictable factor, which was excluded from their calction at the moment.


    More importantly, it was the ones above them who would determine the order of top seats on the Cloud


    Sect Ranking as well as the ranking of this All Peaks Competition. What the crowd was most


    concerned about was the confrontation among them.


    Of course, that did not mean that these disciples did not care for the contests among other participants.


    After all, thepetition for the top 100 was directly going to decide the ranking of the 33 peaks, and


    that was, perhaps, the second most important thing for the disciples.


    As the people looked on with great expectations, waiting for the next round to begin, wondering who


    was going toe next, the referee finally dered the opening of a highly crucial match, "Personal


    disciple Jacques versus Zen of Drizzle Peak!"


    Previously when Jacques had stepped into the arena, he had proimed that he wanted to challenge


    Zen. He had been so sure of himself that he had promised he would restrain his Illuminating Soul


    Realm cultivation within the nature level. But it turned out that Zen was even more arrogant, and had


    answered that Jacques did not need to restrain his level of cultivation and they were going to have a


    fair duel when the time came!


    The duo had be quite hostile towards each other even beforeing on-stage. Now, with their


    match up next, they were finally going to encounter each other during the round-robin.


    Every single person in the audience knew clearly that they now had a huge drama to


    watch!
