Chapter 394 - 393: One Move
"What? Master of Seven Peaks!"
Luox Xinyu found Qin Ya, and the first thing she said was utterly astonishing.
Qin Ya had only been a part of Seven Peaks for less than two months, yet she was asking him to become its master. Anyone would be taken aback by such a request.
"That’s right. I want you to take the position of Master of Seven Peaks."
"Why?"
Luox Xinyu sighed. "Because my time is up."
"What time?"
"Every Law Enforcer can only stay in the Lower Peaks for a maximum of five years. And within those five years, they must accumulate over two thousand Law Enforcement Points."
"Otherwise, their status as a Law Enforcer is revoked."
"Every Law Enforcer who reaches two thousand Points can choose to join any of the thirty-six Law Enforcement Peaks on the Central Peak and take up residence there!"
"I became a Law Enforcer five years ago, and I met the requirements to move to the Central Peak a year ago. It’s just that Seven Peaks was still too weak back then, so I didn’t leave and have stayed here ever since. But now, you’re here."
After listening, Qin Ya’s brow furrowed slightly. "Why choose me?"
"Because you are strong enough, and you’ve also become a Law Enforcer."
"Kunyun Palace doesn’t prohibit conflict, so there’s quite a bit of friction among the Lower Seventy-Two Peaks. Without a powerful Peak Master to hold the fort, Seven Peaks will be bullied by people from the other peaks. Wang Huang and Lü Xin are decent, but to be honest, they’re no match for the other Peak Masters. That’s why I’m choosing you."
After hearing this, Qin Ya pondered for a moment before nodding.
"I accept."
"Good. Now I can move to the Central Peak with peace of mind."
The next day, Luox Xinyu gathered everyone and announced the decision.
After the announcement, a wave of discussion spread through the crowd.
"Isn’t it too soon to have Qin Ya as the Master of Seven Peaks?"
"His strength is sufficient, so there shouldn’t be a problem."
"He’s the one who dealt with Luu Kuang last time."
"Yes, we don’t have any issue with it."
There wasn’t much dissent among the members. Soon after, Luox Xinyu left for the Central Peak.
As she left, she told Qin Ya a few things about being a Law Enforcer.
News of Luox Xinyu’s departure from Seven Peaks gradually spread throughout the Lower Peaks.
"Hmph, so Luox Xinyu has left."
"I wonder who the new Peak Master of Seven Peaks is."
"Lü Xin? Or Wang Huang? Their strength is decent, but they aren’t qualified to be Peak Master. I can’t believe Luox Xinyu felt at ease leaving."
"Let’s go take a look."
「Two days later.」
Several uninvited guests appeared in the sky above Seven Peaks.
One of them, a cold-faced young man, glanced at the others beside him and said, "Master of the Eleventh Peak, Master of the Third Peak, Master of the Fifty-first Peak... you’ve all come."
"Heh, we’re mainly here to test the mettle of this new Master of Seven Peaks."
Just then, a few more figures arrived. One of them was Luu Kuang.
Luu Kuang looked at the group, the corners of his mouth curving up. "It seems you’re all here to cause trouble for Seven Peaks. But don’t blame me for not warning you—try not to get yourselves beaten."
The crowd was stunned. ’Could there be some formidable figure on Seven Peaks that we don’t know about?’ one of them asked, "Luu Kuang, what do you mean?"
Luu Kuang just smiled without explaining. "You’ll find out soon enough."
’This guy is just here to watch the show.’
At that moment, the Master of the Third Peak channeled his True Essence and bellowed, "We heard that Seven Peaks has a new Peak Master! We have come to pay a visit. Please show yourself!"
The sound wave rolled out, echoing across all of Seven Peaks.
Wang Huang, Lü Xin, Muh Qing, and the others all appeared. They gazed up at the numerous Peak Master-level figures in the sky, their expressions grim despite having anticipated this.
’The Peak Master has only been gone a few days, and these people are already at our door making trouble.’
Wang Huang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with resentment.
’If only I were stronger,’ he thought, ’I would’ve charged up there myself.’
Right now, their only hope was Qin Ya, the new Master of Seven Peaks.
As the sound wave faded, the doors to a pavilion slowly opened. Qin Ya’s figure emerged. He glanced at the powerful auras in the sky, then gave his people a reassuring look. With a slight smile, he said, "Everyone, I’ll be right back."
His figure blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he shot into the sky.
"I am the Master of Seven Peaks. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
As Qin Ya appeared, all eyes instantly focused on him. When they got a clear look at his cultivation, odd expressions appeared on their faces.
"Sky-Controlling Perfection?"
"This is the Master of Seven Peaks? You’ve got to be kidding."
"A new face I’ve never seen before. Is he a newcomer?"
A flicker of astonishment crossed the Master of the Third Peak’s face, but he quickly cupped his hands in a fist and smiled. "For a young brother to become the Master of One Peak at such a young age is rare indeed. May I ask your name?"
"Qin Ya!"
"Qin Ya? I’ve never even heard that name..."
The Martial Artist who was about to sneer stopped mid-sentence. He seemed to recall something, and his pupils contracted as his expression turned uneasy.
The other Peak Masters’ expressions also grew solemn.
"You’re Qin Ya? The Qin Ya who just recently became a Law Enforcer!"
The Master of the Third Peak said, his tone heavy.
The name Qin Ya had been causing quite a stir lately. He had the weakest cultivation in the Law Enforcement exam but had somehow passed the test to become a Law Enforcer.
Such a thing was unprecedented in the history of Kunyun Palace.
’I never imagined that this Qin Ya was a member of Seven Peaks. And after becoming a Law Enforcer, he also became the Master of Seven Peaks! Is he really a newcomer?’
"That is I," Qin Ya said indifferently.
"Then allow me to test the might of a Law Enforcer!"
At that moment, a slender young man with a longsword on his back shot out from among the Peak Masters. The moment he finished speaking, a sharp streak of Sword Qi slashed viciously toward Qin Ya.
Qin Ya looked up indifferently and raised his palm. The four energies of thunder, fire, ice, and wind gathered, forming a surging Power of Nature that blasted out as Palm Qi!
The Palm Qi shot across the sky, instantly shattering the Sword Qi!
But its momentum didn’t falter. The Palm Qi continued onward, still immense. The young man’s pupils shrank, and he instantly unfurled his Dharma Aspect to completely envelop himself. CRACK! CRACK! But the Dharma Aspect couldn’t even last for two breaths before it began to fracture and break into pieces!
The backlash from his collapsing Dharma Aspect instantly caused the young man to spurt blood as he was sent flying several hundred zhang, crashing into a mountain peak and nearly passing out.
This scene left everyone utterly dumbfounded.
A single move to instantly defeat someone at Celestial Human Realm Perfection!
And this young man was only at Sky-Controlling Perfection!
"One move... his combat prowess is actually this terrifying."
"Unbelievable."
"It seems he became a Law Enforcer through genuine skill."
"A Law Enforcer and the Master of Seven Peaks... he’s achieved all this in just over two months since joining Kunyun Palace. This kid’s future is Infinite!"
The Master of the Third Peak stared at Qin Ya, a trace of fear in his eyes. He said, "Your Excellency is truly extraordinary. Your strength is even greater than I imagined. You are more than qualified to be the Master of Seven Peaks. I never expected Seven Peaks to be such a place of outstanding people. First, there was Luox Xinyu, and now there is you."
