# Chapter 1792: Humiliating the Ji Gate
In the Holy City Central Continent, many people from the four major academies had traveled to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital this time, but none had gained anything. The news they brought back was that the Tian Yan Holy Clan had reappeared in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, and the Holy Clan's Crown Prince, Yan Di, had reappeared as well. Using the Past Life Sutra, he had revived some of the Tian Yan Holy Clan's former powerful figures, causing no small commotion.
There was another piece of news that the people of the four academies were even more concerned about: Lin Feng of War King Academy was the only one who had gained something from entering the ancient hall. He was lucky, having been the first to stand on the side of the Tian Yan Holy Clan's Crown Prince, and thus obtained the Heavenly Derivation Scripture.
No one knew who had released this news, but in any case, it had now spread throughout the four major academies in the Holy City Central Continent. Although people from the other three academies coveted it somewhat, they didn't have too many schemes. As the saying goes, "A water-front pavilion gets the moonlight first"—it was likely that the people of War King Academy would make the first move against Lin Feng. Of course, that was assuming Lin Feng returned to War King Academy. It was also possible that Lin Feng would hide and never return to the academy. Otherwise, with the many powerful figures in War King Academy, someone might scheme against Lin Feng.
After all, the Heavenly Derivation Scripture was different from other ancient holy scriptures. The outstanding individuals in War King Academy already had their own ancient holy scriptures to cultivate, passed down from their families, which were most suitable for them. But the Heavenly Derivation Scripture was different; it could perform infinite deductions, change a person's talent, enhance their comprehension, and allow even ordinary people to undergo transformation. If a monstrous prodigy obtained it, they would become even more powerful, achieving unparalleled talent. Who wouldn't want that?
Of course, Lin Feng wasn't the only one in the Holy City Central Continent who possessed the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. There was another person as well. Although many had received news of this, it hadn't been as terrifying as this time. It seemed someone had deliberately spread the information, causing the matter of Lin Feng having the Heavenly Derivation Scripture to become widely known. Coupled with the fact that Lin Feng's cultivation wasn't too powerful, many people began secretly coveting it in their hearts.
Now, within War King Academy, many were waiting for Lin Feng's return, including the people of the Ji Gate who had already returned to the academy.
However, as time passed, many gradually became disappointed. That fellow would probably hide and not return to the academy.
On this day in War King Academy, the clear sky was as it had always been. The entire academy was filled with vibrant life. At this moment, at the entrance of War King Academy, a group of figures strode in. People coming and going glanced calmly at this crowd—each one was imposing, and although their cultivation wasn't too powerful, they were spirited and full of vitality.
"Lin Feng!" At that moment, a figure flashed with sharpness, looking at the white-robed figure standing in the middle. This person was none other than Lin Feng. He actually dared to return to War King Academy? Now, within this academy, many were waiting for his return.
"Yun Qingyan, Lin Feng—these are the people of Heavenly Terrace." Others also noticed Lin Feng's group, and immediately, many figures flickered and moved away from this area.
The Ji Gate, the Star Gate, and Yu Wenhou received news of Lin Feng's return and immediately gathered the people of the Star Gate to discuss countermeasures on how to deal with Lin Feng. War King Academy had its rules. Last time, they had wanted to kill Lin Feng, but they could only do so secretly by luring him out. They couldn't directly attack him within War King Academy. Even if they were to make a move, it would have to be at the same cultivation level, on the battle platform, with a life-and-death contract, to be aboveboard. Otherwise, if a mid-rank emperor bullied a junior for no reason, it would only bring disgrace.
The place where Lin Feng lived, which was now the address of Heavenly Terrace, suddenly became lively. Many people rushed over, gathering outside the courtyard, their gazes all falling on the courtyard. Just now, the people of Heavenly Terrace who had returned from outside had all entered the courtyard without any further news.
"Whoosh!" A figure stepped out, causing the crowd's expressions to stiffen. Was someone finally going to test the waters?
"May I ask what business you have?" A person from Heavenly Terrace said to the powerful figure who was about to step into the residence. Now that Heavenly Terrace had expanded, those who had gone to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital were only some core members of Heavenly Terrace. Other people of Heavenly Terrace had also followed Hou Qinglin to travel north and south, training everywhere. But Hou Qinglin and the others had only selected three people for the core positions.
"I've come to visit the people of Heavenly Terrace who returned from the ancient capital," the powerful figure said indifferently.
"Sorry, when the senior brothers returned, they gave orders that they would be in seclusion for a period of time and would not receive guests. I hope you won't take offense," the person from Heavenly Terrace said coldly, causing the crowd outside to stiffen. This Lin Feng fellow really knew how to hide. Seclusion? What an excuse!
"Is Lin Feng also in seclusion?" the powerful figure asked.
"All those who returned are in seclusion," the Heavenly Terrace disciple said again, causing the man to snort coldly. He then flicked his sleeves and walked away, helpless. He had no enmity with Lin Feng, and he couldn't just barge in. That wouldn't be reasonable.
"The people of the Ji Gate are here." Just then, someone outside looked into the distance and spoke. Over there, a group of figures was rolling in. It was indeed the people of the Ji Gate.
These figures rolled in, descending into the void above the residence, their gazes cold. Ji Wuyou stepped forward and roared at the residence: "Lin Feng, get out here!"
"Lin Feng... get out here!" The rolling sound echoed endlessly in the void, lingering for a long time, causing the crowd to sigh inwardly. This Ji Wuyou fellow was truly arrogant and domineering. With the Ji Gate as his backing, and an elder brother with the potential to be enfeoffed as a king, and also belonging to the direct line of the Ji family in the Holy City Central Continent, he could have whatever he wanted, acting wildly and tyrannically.
"The senior brothers of my Heavenly Terrace have already gone into seclusion upon their return," the person from Heavenly Terrace said loudly. But Ji Wuyou snorted coldly, his palm trembling violently. Immediately, the shadow of an azure dragon rolled down, smashing heavily into the residence. One side of the residence instantly exploded.
"Seclusion? Ridiculous. Get out here," Ji Wuyou shouted angrily. "Within ten breaths, if you don't come out, I'll tear down this residence. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Whoosh!" At that moment, figures soared into the air. They were all outer disciples of Heavenly Terrace. Although they were outer disciples and not core members, each was extraordinary, their gazes sharp as they stared at the people of the Ji Gate. One of them fixed his eyes on Ji Wuyou and said coldly: "Before Lin Feng and Senior Brother Hou Qinglin went into seclusion, they left a message. If the Ji Gate is rude, then ten days from now, on the Hidden King List: Human List battle platform, the core disciples of my Heavenly Terrace will challenge all those of the Ji Gate at the lower emperor realm. Whether it's one-on-one duels or a free-for-all, the Ji Gate can choose. On that day, everyone will sign a life-and-death contract."
The words of the Heavenly Terrace disciple echoed in the void, causing everyone's pupils to contract. Even the people of the Ji Gate opposite them all had stiff expressions and livid faces.
Ten days later, on the Hidden King List: Human List battle platform, Heavenly Terrace would fight the Ji Gate, with everyone signing a life-and-death contract.
Yu Wenhou's expression stiffened. At the lower emperor realm of the current Ji Gate, aside from Ji Wuyou and a few others, there really weren't any battle-ready generals worth mentioning. On Heavenly Terrace's side, Lin Feng, Hou Qinglin, Tian Chi, and the others were all extraordinary. Even the few who had joined later were very powerful. Among them, Xi Men and Yi Ji were both ranked among the top few on the Hidden King List: Human List. If it came to a fight, the Ji Gate would be in considerable danger.
"What's this? The Ji Gate has always been aggressive and domineering, but now you don't dare to accept the challenge?" a person from Heavenly Terrace said coldly.
"Not daring to accept the challenge, yet you still come here to make a spectacle of yourselves? Can you only bring a few people of higher cultivation levels to oppress new students? If the Ji Gate and the Star Gate are like this, you might as well disband. Keeping them is useless," another person mocked. The faces of these Ji Gate people when they arrived were truly disgusting—especially Ji Wuyou, who had directly attacked. Now they were all silent. Heavenly Terrace was going to fight them, and everyone would sign a life-and-death contract. At this moment, they only felt hot blood in their chests, extremely exhilarated. This was the boldness and courage of Heavenly Terrace. Would the Star Gate dare to fight?
No one had expected that when the Ji Gate came to attack, Heavenly Terrace would counterattack directly, challenging them to the Hidden King List battle platform.
If the Ji Gate didn't dare to accept the challenge, that would truly be a slap in the face. Coming with such arrogance and bluster, only to not dare to fight—that would be a huge loss of face.
"Fight!" Ji Wuyou roared angrily. With such a slap in the face, how could they not fight? Besides, with his strength, what was there to fear?
Yu Wenhou frowned slightly, then said coldly: "The rules of the battle must be set by my Ji Gate."
Upon hearing Yu Wenhou's words, the person from Heavenly Terrace revealed a faint smile and said: "Senior Brother Lin Feng had already guessed your thoughts. Before he went into seclusion, he left a message. Don't look at the Ji Gate's arrogant bluster—they're just bullies who rely on their strength to oppress the weak. If we challenge them, they will surely demand to set the battle rules. If you speak, my Heavenly Terrace, even though it's a newly established sect, will still let your Ji Gate set the rules. Do as you please."
"Haha, that's right. Lin Feng's original words were roughly like this. Yu Wenhou, it seems you really are just as Lin Feng said. How laughable—the Ji Gate, known as the strongest sect in War King Academy, still needs to demand the right to set rules when challenged by my newly established Heavenly Terrace. My Heavenly Terrace doesn't mind. We'll let you have it."
The Heavenly Terrace disciple laughed loudly, causing Yu Wenhou's face to turn livid. The others also looked at each other. These people of the Ji Gate had come arrogantly, but now their faces seemed a bit hard to maintain. With the Ji Gate's reputation, demanding the right to set rules against a newly established sect was indeed disgraceful. And it was Yu Wenhou, the leader of the Star Gate, who had personally demanded it.
Ji Wuyou's body was filled with rolling aura, and a cold killing intent raged. A person from Heavenly Terrace swept his gaze over Ji Wuyou and said: "Senior Brother Lin Feng also said, Ji Wuyou, ten days from now, the number one position on the Hidden King List: Human List—you should move aside."
"I'll be waiting!" Ji Wuyou roared angrily, his howling sound rolling like a true dragon's cry, causing the void to tremble. Then his figure rolled away. The humiliation of today—ten days from now, Lin Feng would pay with his life!
