Chapter 1936 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1936. There’s No Need to Understand. (1) Everyone who had climbed Mount Hua fixed their eyes on the training ground. The greatest under heaven of the past, and the greatest under heaven of the present. Those two stood ready to clash, staking their pride against one another. No, perhaps they were staking their very lives. It was the sort of duel that would leave even the spectators holding their breath. And yet, there was a distinct difference in the eyes of those watching. Most of the sect leaders gathered here couldn’t hide the tension written across their faces. They were excited by the knowledge that they were about to witness a legendary match they might never see again in their lifetimes, and by the possibility that its outcome could send enormous ripples throughout the jianghu.

But no one would dare belittle the Sect Leader of Mount Hua. For Mount Hua’s standing in the current jianghu was just that immense. “To all of you who have come from afar despite this sudden request, I offer my deepest thanks.” After bowing deeply, Un Am continued.
