Eternal Saber-Chapter 364 - 82: Adding Fuel to the Fire

"What arrogance and ignorance!"

"Too audacious!"

"This brat is incredibly insolent, how dare he belittle all martial arts schools of the Celestial Cauldron Continent!"

Not to mention the people in the audience, even those from the various martial arts schools and dojos below couldn’t stay seated.

Some young people, fueled by their hot-bloodedness, couldn’t restrain themselves and loudly rebuked him.

This venue was built with a special structure, relatively enclosed, with exquisitely carved walls designed to maximize the resonance of sound.

Now, the roar of voices reverberated against the walls, almost lifting the entire venue!

A faint smile crossed the depths of Murakumo Saigawa’s deep eyes.

Through investigations, he’d obtained some information.

The Tiger Subduing Fist that this person excels in should come from the Divine Land.

In other words, this person is from the Divine Land!

He had originally planned to use this information to stir up some trouble, but unexpectedly, this person jumped out on his own before he could make a move.

"Even better this way, I’ll add fuel to the fire later and utterly destroy him!"

Murakumo Saigawa thought quietly, showing no expression.

Feeling the burning gaze from many around him, Shen Che forced himself to stay calm, looking straight ahead.

He really wanted to curse at someone now.

If heaven gave him another chance, he would definitely ask Chen Tang carefully, what on earth are you trying to do?

A little more arrogant, a little more reckless.

You’re way too modest!

Is this just a little?

You’re almost riding on someone’s neck!

Shen Yu was a bit dumbfounded.

Though they hadn’t known each other for long, Chen Tang had never been this crazy before.

Shen Yu couldn’t help but look towards Ye Yushi, asking in a low voice, "Sister Shangguan, what’s wrong with Brother Murong?"

"I don’t know."

Ye Yushi shook her head.

She really didn’t know what Chen Tang was planning.

But she understood Chen Tang’s temperament; he was definitely not someone who was so arrogant and conceited.

For Chen Tang to say such words, he must have had a deeper meaning.

In the high chamber.

"Did I hear that right? What did this person just say? He said all the martial arts schools present are rubbish!" The Vice Master of Ceremonies’ tone involuntarily became sharper.

Even the Master of Ceremonies couldn’t listen any longer and said, "I don’t understand what this Murong Haitang intends. If he cannot provide a reasonable explanation, he’s simply grandstanding and needs to apologize to everyone in the martial arts schools and to all friends present!"

"Apologize!"

"Apologize!"

The two ritual officers led the chant, and the audience burst into shouts of condemnation.

Even those who had just supported Chen Tang during the opening ceremony became extremely quiet, afraid to speak loudly, trembling in the crowd, fearing backlash.

Amaterasu Chizuru frowned.

Perhaps because she had previously seen this person handle the Celestial Mirror at Amaterasu Palace, her impression of him wasn’t all negative.

Seeing Chen Tang being condemned by the crowd, she couldn’t help but secretly feel nervous for him.

In such a situation, one would face unimaginable pressure, and could easily collapse mentally on the spot!

Amaterasu Chizuru cleared her throat, drawing everyone’s attention, and then slowly said, "Please, listen to me."

The noise from the audience gradually diminished.

Amaterasu Chizuru smiled slightly and said, "I believe those words just now were not the true intention of this Brother Murong. Perhaps he was just resentful of the genius battle’s rules, and in his anger, misspoke."

"I hope that our friends present can be a bit more tolerant and give him a chance to explain himself."

Shen Che let out a small sigh of relief, looking gratefully towards Amaterasu Senno’s side.

Fortunately, this granddaughter gave Chen Tang an out, and only Amaterasu Chizuru’s fame and reputation could barely calm down the young people present.

However, in the main battlefield, Chen Tang was still pondering silently.

Shen Che was somewhat anxious on his behalf.

Chen Tang had originally intended to continue provoking.

But with Amaterasu Chizuru’s words, he felt a bit embarrassed to speak further.

"The granddaughter niece, Chizuru, is still too kind-hearted."

At this moment, Murakumo Saigawa slowly spoke, drawing countless gazes towards him.

Not only was he the Military Lord of a nation, but also the clan leader of the Congyun Race, and a renowned Grandmaster!

Murakumo Saigawa said lightly, "To my knowledge, this person’s Tiger Subduing Fist originates from the Divine Land. His outrageous words weren’t just casual anger; deep down, he despises our Celestial Cauldron Continent’s martial arts heritage."

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed!

What Murakumo Saigawa said might have seemed light and breezy, but with a few words, he altered the nature of events. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Originally, it was just Chen Tang’s personal arrogance and insolence.

But in Murakumo Saigawa’s words, it became a matter of Divine Land martial arts looking down on and insulting Celestial Cauldron martial arts, raising it to the level of national rivalry!

"Beat him, Daben, beat him to death!"

"Daben, you come down, I’ll go up and fight him, let him taste my Dual Blade Style martial arts!"

"Right! It’s one thing to insult me, but insulting our Celestial Cauldron martial arts is unacceptable!"

The audience rose up, their initial boos and hisses transforming into loud, angry shouts.

Even the group of supporters for Murong Haitang had stood up and began cursing loudly.

Some publicly burned banners inscribed with support for Murong.

Some tore off their tiger-print garments.

"Hmph, I must have been blind to misjudge him!"

"There’s nothing wrong with youthful ignorance and arrogance, but I never imagined he’d be such a person!"

The crowd was filled with excitement and a shared sense of enmity. If it weren’t for the numerous attendants maintaining order, someone might have already rushed up to confront Chen Tang.

Feng Boyi saw this and was delighted, thinking to himself, "Saigawa, you old fox, you certainly are crafty."

Amaterasu Senno, Moon Night Warehouse, and several other top experts could clearly see Murakumo Saigawa’s tactics—merely inciting the emotional youths, using a borrowed knife to kill.

In this situation, it’s as though Murong Haitang had been placed over a fire to roast; he couldn’t withdraw from the genius battle even if he wanted to!

Amaterasu Senno, Moon Night Warehouse, and others slightly turned their heads, glancing at Shen Che, who was dripping with sweat, with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Shen Che gently rubbed his forehead, sighing inwardly.

You wanted to stir things up, and now it’s a complete mess.

Let’s see how you’re going to wrap this up.

Even Shen Che was feeling a bit overwhelmed by this situation.

He’s the Military Lord of a nation, but he can’t bear the accusation of insulting or looking down on Celestial Cauldron martial arts.

Amaterasu Chizuru slightly shook her head.

In this situation, even with her willingness to help, she could no longer suppress it; the situation was already beyond saving.

If she continued to speak on his behalf, she might even end up getting burned herself.

The only thing that puzzled her was that the person in the main battlefield still remained calm, with no sign of worry or fear on his face.

Was this person frightened senseless, or exceptionally courageous?

"If you want to play it this way."

Chen Tang chuckled lightly.

Murakumo Saigawa’s little push and heating up the fire saved him the trouble of spending more thought.

The angrier these people get, the better chance he has of accessing the two Divine Artifacts!
