Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"I hope you have something very interesting planned for the second round, Senior Brother." Peak Master Duan's words rang throughout the hall.

Sect Leader Su nodded and replied with a confident voice, "Yeah, Second Round will be very interesting. I have planned a good strategy to find out who this disciple is, and also not let anyone else other than me find out about this."

Peak Master Duan shrugged, "Then case closed; there's no need to worry much about this."

"What we need to think about now is the undercurrents of the capital."

Sect Leader Su's expression suddenly turned severed as he heard Peak Master Duan's words. He closed his eyes and leaned back while replying, "There's nothing we can do about that."

Peak Master Duan was shocked at such a response.

"What do you mean we can't do anything? Senior Brother, don't we have our spy network? What's the latest news from them?"

Sect Leader Su shook his head, "This is why we can't do anything - there has been no news, and almost all connections have been cut off."

"What!?" Peak Master Duan stood up.

A tinge of fear was written on his face as he asked, "All connections lost? What's going on in the sect?"

Sect Leader Su let out a sigh, "Duan, I know what you're thinking. But, don't worry about your son. I already had him sent to a safe zone at the first sign of trouble. I know things have been pretty harsh for him, but don't worry, I won't just let him stay in the lion's den without any backup plans."

Peak Master Duan couldn't help but sigh in relief, "I trust you, Senior Brother. If you say he's safe, I feel reassured about this."

Sect Leader Su pursed his lips, "Even though he's safe but other than him, almost everyone has disappeared. We can't contact anyone. I am pretty sure something big has happened in the Capital City, and no one has any idea about it."

Peak Master Duan gritted his teeth, "It must have been that bastard Fang Yuan. He's very cunning."

Sect Leader Su nodded his head, "That's why I said, we can't do anything. We don't have any news about what's going on in the Capital City. The only available informant - your son - is in hiding. Even though I know where he is, I can't go and bring him here. At least not yet. It's important for his safety that he doesn't appear in public for a few months."

Peak Master Duan nodded his head, "I understand, Senior Brother. He should stay in hiding for his good."

Just as Peak Master Duan's words came to an end, the gate of the Grand Meeting Hall was pushed open.

Both of them turned their heads and found Elder Lai Chang entering the hall. Behind him was the disciple both of them had been waiting for - Fang Chen.

….

As soon as Ye Tian Yun stepped inside the Grand Meeting Hall, he felt two piercing eyes staring straight at him.

However, these eyes didn't contain any malice. In fact, all he could sense was a hidden love. A fatherly love.

"But why are both of them looking at me like this? Don't tell me… Fang Chen had two fathers!? WTF am I thinking!?" Ye Tian Yun immediately shook his head to clear off his thoughts.

Before the other three in the hall could sense anything weird, Ye Tian Yun cupped his fist and distracted them, "Greetings Sect Leader and Peak Master."

Sect Leader Su nodded his head with a smile, and Peak Master Duan replied, "Good to see you back. How was your cultivation in the last month? Did you get any breakthroughs?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, and in the next intent, a suppressing aura of Fourth Level Of Qi Condensation Realm spread throughout the hall!

Be it Sect Leader Su, Peak Master Duan, or Elder Lai Chang, all three had cultivated way above this realm and were unaffected by the pressure. However, they were affected by one thing - how much Ye Tian Yun's cultivation had increased.

Elder Lai Chang had his mouth wide open, and the other two stood up from their seats. Their expressions couldn't be more shocking.

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but think, 'What will happen if I show them my real cultivation? Will they die from shock?'

While Ye Tian Yun was inwardly feeling smug, Sect Leader Su was the first to receive from his shock, "Well done! Ha-ha, well done, my boy - I mean - well done, disciple Fang Chen!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader Su. It was all because you decided to give me a golden opportunity to cultivate in the Sword Stele."

Sect Leader Su waved his hand, "Ah, you deserved that chance, no need to give anyone else any credit - you reached this cultivation realm through your own hard work. If you didn't push yourself, you wouldn't have reached this realm even if you had all the cultivation resources in the world."

Peak Master Duan nodded his head, "Indeed. Disciple Fang Chen, this is all your hard work, and I am sure you would soon make a name for yourself in the Gracious Sword Ranking's tournament and most probably even qualify for the Grand Spirit Hunt."

Ye Tian Yun scratched his head and looked at Elder Lai Chang when he heard Peak Master Duan's words.

Elder Lai Chang coughed and said, "umm.. Peak Master… Disciple Fang Chen told me that he is not going to join the Gracious Sword Rankings."

"What?" Both men in front of them were confused.

"Why would you not want to participate in the tournament?" Sect Leader Su asked with a frown.

Then looking at Elder Lai Chang, he said, "Did you not tell him about the prize other than getting selected to participate in the Grand Spirit Hunt?"

Ye Tian Yun raised his head when he heard Sect Leader Su's words. 

'There was something else in the prize pool?'
