Now that he had the key in his hand, Yang Chen knew that he had let Steward Feng down. He looked at Yuan San who was leaving, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

When he looked back at Yang Chen, the disappointment in his eyes was evident because Yang Chen was not the number one genius from their Beishan Main City. However, there was nothing he could do now, so he just waved his

sleeves.

“Yang Chen, according to the rules, you have won first place in this Knockout Competition. Now, it’s time to award the prizes.” Steward Feng coughed twice and said, “Yang Chen, as the first place winner of this Knockout Competition, the second and third place winners have been taken away by Yuan San. So, you are the only one who is qualified to enter our Beishan Main City Arms Pavilion and choose a Spirit Weapon. Similarly, you are also the only one qualified to enter the Trial Tower!”

Everyone already knew this, and there was nothing new about it. The only thing that was laughable was that Yang Chen was the only one who was eligible to enter the Arms Pavilion and choose a Spirit Weapon. Unfortunately, the second and third places were all taken by Yuan San’s subordinates from the Sun Star Region.

Apart from this, what else were the people on the viewing platform curious about?

They were curious about the hidden reward that Beishan Main City had prepared for this Genius Selection Competition.

What was the hidden reward?

If you won first place, there would be a reward prepared jointly by the Three Sects. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

It seemed that Steward Feng had guessed what the people on the viewing platform were thinking. He calmly rolled up his sleeves and said, “In addition to this, there is the treasure prepared by our Beishan Main City, along with the

Canghai Sect and the Yuanshan Sect. This treasure is a key!”

Having said so, Steward Feng grinned and directly took out a key.

The key glowed with a golden light, the smooth surface radiating several feet away. At a glance, it was evident that this key was not an ordinary object.

It was precisely at this moment, when he saw the key, that Yang Chen’s expression became serious.

Because this key was the same as the Thousand Year Treasure Key that Zhang Xueling had given him, wasn’t it?

This was actually another Thousand Year Treasure Key.

He was very clear about it.

Rainbow once relied on the memories passed down from several generations of the Fishman Tribe to know that there were a total of three keys for the Thousand Year Treasure.

Zhang Xueling, the rich woman, had generously given him one key, and there was another one here.

Of course, knowing this in his heart, he would not admit it. After all, how could a normal person recognize the origin of the key at a glance?

Steward Feng said with a smile, “Young friend Yang Chen, you may not know the origin of this item, so let me, as an elder, explain it to you.”

Yang Chen smiled bitterly. Was there any need for Steward Feng to explain?

Once this was explained, everyone would know that the key was related to the Thousand Year Treasure, and they would probably look at him with hostile eyes. It wouldn’t be easy for him to get out of this situation then.

But he couldn’t stop him.

Steward Feng opened his mouth and said, “Some of you may not know that five years ago, a golden light appeared in the northern sky. I believe everyone has some idea about it. At that time, the object that appeared in the golden light was this key.”

“Five years ago, there was indeed such an event, but the area where the golden light was born was sealed by the Three Hegemons, and the Six Sects couldn’t enter.”

“What’s the purpose of this key?”

“Yeah, what exactly is it for?”

Steward Feng smiled and said, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. I’ll explain everything one by one. The function of this key is straightforward, and I believe you’ll understand as soon as you hear these four words.”

“Which four words?”

“Yes, Steward Feng, you’re keeping us in suspense.”

Steward Feng stroked his chin, and then said, “Emperor’s Treasure!”

Hearing this, Mil B?ishéng sighed and secretly cursed Steward Feng as cunning and sly.

“What, could it be that this key is one of the three keys in the Emperor’s

Treasure?”

“This, this!”

“You’ve guessed correctly, this is indeed one of the three Inner Area keys for the Thousand Year Treasure. This key was discovered and sealed off by our Beishan Main City, Canghai Sect, and Yuanshan Sect when it first appeared in the world.” Steward Feng said.

Hearing this, many people secretly cursed the Three Hegemon factions for their cunning; they had sealed off such news directly?

Steward Feng paid no attention to what others were thinking, and lazily said, “We, the three factions, discussed and argued with each other, and in the end, there was no result. Then, seeing that continuing to argue would be fruitless, we came up with a compromise. The method was to implement this Genius Selection Competition. This key should not belong only to Beishan Main City, and not just to the Three Hegemons, but should be something that anyone can have a chance to obtain.”

“Therefore, the three factions agreed to use this key as the reward for the first place in the Genius Selection Competition! Whoever gets first place will get this reward!”

Steward Feng spoke righteously, but the people on the viewing platform were not fools.

What nonsense about it being something that anyone should have a chance to obtain.

Every Genius Selection Competition was won by one of the Three Hegemons. Even if there were some dark horses, they might be like Yang Chen and be swayed by one of the Three Hegemons midway through. So, it was almost impossible for the Six Sects and loose cultivators to take the first place. Even if they did and got the key, would the Three Hegemons let it go easily?

The meaning can be easily understood.

In the end, the Three Hegemons didn’t come to a conclusion after fighting non-stop. Realizing that it would be fruitless, they set new rules. Whichever faction’s genius could win the first place in the Genius Selection Competition would get the key, and then they could claim a good reputation for jointly preparing the rewards by the three factions.

This was also the reason why Mb B?ishéng and Yang Chen cursed Steward Feng in their hearts.

Why?

Because if Steward Feng hadn’t explained, no one would have known that this was the Inner Area key for the Thousand Year Treasure. But now, as Feng had explained, everyone knew.

Steward Feng was indeed aiming for this.

At the moment, since he couldn’t get the key, he naturally wanted to turn this treasure into a hot potato, so he could deliver it to Yang Chen and the Yuanshan Sect, causing them some trouble.

Not only the forces from Beishan Main City, but also those from other regions would likely target the Yuanshan Sect. Ants could kill an elephant, and although the Yuanshan Sect was powerful, dealing with numerous minor sects and forces would still be a headache.

By then, they could intervene, and it would be uncertain who the key would ultimately belong to.

Steward Feng let out a chuckle and said righteously, “Yang Chen, this key is extremely precious. You must keep it safe and don’t let it be stolen by someone with malicious intentions.”

This last sentence was laden with implications.

Yang Chen wanted to curse his mother, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he was unwilling, there was no reason for him not to accept the key. He reached out to catch the key and slowly put it into his Storage Bag..
