Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Making Trouble
The Shu Mountain was a sect that never condescended to interfere in the matters of the martial arts world.
Even the strongest in the martial arts world were child’s play compared to the sect.
Even the current leader of Deep Cold, Marshal.
Was no match for Leighton Yarrow.
This was the depth of the sect!
They were truly high above, untouched by the mortal world.
A millennium of heritage, how could it be surpassed overnight?
Today, if it were not for his beloved disciple returning in glory, Leighton Yarrow would certainly not have appeared!
But Seven Clouds Academy was different!
In its prime, Seven Clouds Academy dared to confront the sect head-on!
Their leader, Mad Dragon, even slew several Grandmasters.
Now, with Seven Clouds Academy reappearing in the martial arts realm, it set minds awhirl.
Whoosh!
The first thing that caught everyone’s eye was a black banner with a golden dragon devouring the sun!
Two youths carried the over-three-meters-tall flag, leading the charge into the Kensington Family.
Following that.
A young man and woman, with their heads held high, strode into the courtyard.
"Golden Dragon Devouring the Sun!"
The moment they saw the flag, the terror of being dominated four years ago instantly returned!
Countless martial artists’ hearts raced, and their blood pressure surged!
They were not mistaken!
This flag was the same one that had been planted across half the planet—
Golden!
Dragon!
Devouring!
Sun!
Banner!
A symbol of an era.
Many people’s memories instantly returned to four years ago.
"Seven Clouds Academy, Templeton Lena!"
"Venassa Pine!"
"I wish the Kensington Family martial arts conference every success."
The two bowed with their hands clasped, their tone brimming with dominance.
However, Brodie Kensington was not familiar with Seven Clouds Academy.
Or rather, he was far from reaching a level where he could interact with such realms.
"Hello there..."
The elder master of the Kensington Family extended his hand, shaking hands with Templeton Lena and Venassa Pine one by one, then said with a chuckle, "Please, come inside and have a seat!"
Guests were honored, and it seemed that these visitors were of no small significance.
Today was a grand day for the Kensington Family, and he was intent on providing a warm welcome to all who came to support the event.
"Wasn’t Seven Clouds Academy eradicated like a dog that lost its home four years ago?"
Just then, Matthias Moore stood up and disdainfully said, "Nowadays, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to flaunt themselves?"
He, too, was a Young Master!
He gained fame at a young age!
Inside, he carried a measure of pride.
During the days when Seven Clouds held sway, Matthias Moore was just a child.
His family was also oppressed by Seven Clouds Academy.
This incident, Matthias Moore had never forgotten.
After the downfall of Seven Clouds Academy, he returned from his studies and dominated Wellington Radcliffe.
With his extraordinary skills, he was known as Master Matthew Moore of Wellington Radcliffe!
Upon hearing that some members of Seven Clouds Academy were still surviving, especially seeing the Golden Dragon Devouring the Sun Banner, he couldn’t help but stand up and make his voice heard.
It’s merely yesterday’s yellow flower.
"It’s really Master Matthew Moore daring to stand up and question Seven Clouds Academy directly!"
The martial artists all gave him a thumbs up.
Although they knew that Seven Clouds Academy had been destroyed, seeing that familiar banner still sent a chill down their spines.
The shadow of many years was hard to dispel in a moment.
Matthias Moore being the first to stand up set a good precedent.
"Seven Clouds Academy was already like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting ’hit it!’. Now you remnants not only sneakily survive but also dare to show off?"
Subsequently, other martial artists stood up, angrily scolding.
That era had ended.
Seven Clouds Academy was nothing but a legend from the past.
In the four years since, countless organizations had risen, and the world was still full of formidable experts.
"Oh? Who told you that Seven Clouds Academy was annihilated? And who gave you the courage to talk to us like this?"
Templeton Lena stood still, looking coldly at Matthias Moore and the speaking martial artists.
"Step forward!"
This roar directly made many people shudder.
The tiger was dead, yet its fearsome aura lingered.
"Oh? Is it a fight you want?"
Matthias Moore leaped forth, his clothing stirring as if by an invisible wind!
Looking around the entire courtyard, there were only a handful of people who had reached the Grandmaster level.
Cooper Ridge was barely a Grandmaster, but as the president of the Martial Arts Association, it was somewhat embarrassing.
Following him were Matthias Moore and Hendrick Kensington!
Then, it was Leighton Yarrow!
As for Templeton Lena and Venassa Pine, Matthias Moore could feel that there was no Grandmaster aura around them.
He could handle them both easily, alone.
Seeing this scene, Brodie Kensington’s insides turned green with regret.
If he had known that the group before him was the public enemy, he definitely wouldn’t have hosted them! 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Now look, tensions were high!
"Everyone, please give me some face!"
Hendrick Kensington slowly stood up, looking at the people before him, "I don’t care what grievances you have! Today, it’s the day my Kensington family hosts the Martial Arts Tournament. Settle all grievances outside these doors or, later on the arena, we can settle it with a real fight!"
The Kensington family placed great importance on this contest, which Hendrick Kensington was well aware of.
But what surprised him a little was that The North Sea had not sent anyone.
Though he felt a tad disappointed, he could still understand.
After all, compared to the people here, The North Sea had a complicated background, and it was normal for them not to want to show themselves.
He was also displeased with Seven Clouds Academy!
But since Matthias Moore bore some hostility towards him, naturally he couldn’t let him steal the show!
All martial artists were watching Seven Clouds Academy, and anyone who could teach them a lesson would undoubtedly become famous!
"Since that’s the case, then later on the arena, I will meet the two of you!"
Matthias Moore snorted disdainfully, looking at Templeton Lena and Venassa Pine, "Better write your wills quickly, for your lives are about to end."
With that, he leapt back to his seat.
"Excellent!"
The martial artists all stood up and applauded.
Seeing this scene, Matthias Moore sneered continuously.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Now that Hendrick Kensington planned to make a spectacle, he could not let things go his way!
Wellington Radcliffe was already under Matthias Moore’s control.
Otis Radcliffe, he would take that too!
Soon, only his Moore Martial Arts School would remain in both the Five-river Province and the Three-river Province.
To outsiders, it seemed that Hendrick Kensington had Mount Shu backing him.
But only Matthias Moore knew well that the power behind him did not fear Mount Shu!
Otherwise, how would he dare act so boldly in front of Leighton Yarrow?
Hendrick Kensington knew this very well.
No Young Master had a simple background.
But here at the Kensingtons’, he must defend his dignity!
"Please take a seat!"
Hendrick Kensington gestured with his hand.
"Thank you."
Templeton Lena and Venassa Pine took their seats in the front row together.
The gazes behind them felt like countless knives stabbing at them.
The originally festive and peaceful atmosphere turned somewhat tense because of the presence of Seven Clouds Academy.
Many people turned their eyes towards Cooper Ridge, trying to discern any change from the expression of the Martial Arts Association president.
After all, rumors were that Jerry Anderson died at the hands of Seven Clouds Academy.
But from the beginning till the end, Cooper Ridge’s face showed no changes.
He sat there as if nothing was amiss.
But inside, he was utterly panicked!
Fight, or make peace?
Cooper Ridge was uncertain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this Martial Arts Tournament aims to promote the spirit of martial arts. Please have your disciples step forward!"
Bang!
A bell rang.
"I will go!"
Many youths eagerly took the stage, wanting to make an impression.
Even though they knew that the first place was inevitably Hendrick Kensington’s.
But they still had the second and third places.
Meanwhile.
Outside the walls of the Kensingtons’.
Two figures lurked furtively.
One of them was even wearing a duckbill cap.
