Chapter 1542: Stormy Waves Surge Towards the Grand Han Capital
Huge waves were rocking the Eastern Xuan Region. The matter of the Dragon Slaughtering Convention was discussed everywhere.
Sha Guangyan, Peng Wansheng, and Ye Qingkuang had captured the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow as representatives of the Eastern Xuan Region’s top junior generation experts, using it to challenge Long Chen. That photographic jade had spread to every inch of the Eastern Xuan Region.
Even mortals that weren’t cultivators were aware of this matter. People discussed the Dragon Slaughtering Convention in restaurants, teahouses, the streets, everywhere.
This was a clear challenge. Sha Guangyan had even gathered all the Eastern Xuan Region’s junior generation experts. Anyone who was under fifty years old and was still at the Soul Transformation realm was invited.
Sha Guangyan’s goal in doing this was obvious. Long Chen was acclaimed as the Eastern Xuan Region’s number one expert, and he had never been defeated by anyone in the same realm. His story had become the legend of an undefeatable god amongst the Eastern Xuan Region’s junior generation.
Even though Pill Valley, the ancient races, the ancient family alliance, and the Bloodkill Hall were all spreading stories that Long Chen had betrayed the human race by allying with the Spirit World’s demons, many people didn’t believe those stories. Even when they brought out the iron proof that Long Chen had fought alongside the spirit warriors, it was ineffective.
That was because those people worshipped Long Chen. They didn’t listen to anyone. They only trusted Long Chen and their own eyes.
Their catchphrase was that Long Chen had always acted openly, daring to do anything and admit to it. If he really did betray the human race, then he would have admitted to it.
Since he didn’t admit to it, it meant they were framing him. This was the result of the huge fight in the Eastern Xuan City back then.
Long Chen had attacked the heavenly tribulation, drawing down the ire of the heavens on himself, in order to protect the people in the city. The large majority of those people had been hostile toward him, but he had still risked his life for them. How could such a person betray the human race?
On the other hand, it was Ye Qingkuang who had caused that tribulation and involved the lives of all those commoners. If it hadn’t been for Long Chen, how many people would have been slain because of him? As a result, Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng, who had had quite a few worshippers themselves, had ended up falling out of favor. Although their reputation hadn’t reached rock bottom, the numbers of their supporters had clearly dropped.
Meanwhile, Long Chen’s display had won over quite a few people who had been suspicious or even jealous of him. His arrogance, his domineeringness, his daring to advance courageously despite all obstacles, that charisma was infectious. Even in the face of Pill Valley, the ancient races, and the ancient family alliance, he refused to retreat.
Many people were now questioning whether or not Long Chen had really destroyed the Xuantian Dao Sect. Could such a person really do something like destroying their own sect?
Countless experts did a secret investigation of the matter. As a result, they found that there were traces of the power of the Corrupt God Skull, Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff, and other divine items in the wreckage of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
The most shocking thing was that someone pointed out the leftover aura of Pill Valley’s Brahma Divine Diagram, and that caused an uproar.
Just as they were shocked by that, Long Chen had destroyed the sects that had tried to kill him and even razed the Pill Tower to the ground. People seemed to finally understand something.
Although the public opinion was suppressed by the joint power of Pill Valley, the ancient races, and the ancient family alliance, that was only on the surface. There were still people discussing this in secret.
There were all kinds of rumors, and it was difficult to determine what was true and what was false. However, at least public opinion was not one-sided. Many people believed that Long Chen had been falsely accused.
Although Long Chen hadn’t tried to provide an explanation or defend himself, they all knew that with Long Chen’s pride, he would disdain doing such a thing. He was already surrounded by enemies, so he was fine with getting a few more.
This was Long Chen’s boldness and imposing attitude. It was also this that won him the admiration of countless people, especially the young people who viewed him as an idol, a target to chase after. They dreamed of being able to become as wild and domineering as Long Chen. That was a true man.
The fact that the Dragon Slaughtering Convention was to be held in the Grand Han was confusing to people. It was unknown what Sha Guangyan’s intentions were behind that.
Some people pointed out that there was clearly a political goal behind this. He was trying to gather everyone’s power to throw the four ancient nations’ structure into chaos. After this, the four ancient nations would also be drawn into the cultivation world.
Rumor had that in the past few months, the four ancient nations’ dragon veins were showing signs of awakening. That meant that the four ancient nations were about to enter a golden age.
After all, they were nations that had survived from the immortal era. They had experienced the devastation of the dark eras but had staunchly survived. If their dragon veins awakened, it was unknown what kind of changes would happen within them.
There were also rumors that the Grand Han was in full support of the Dragon Slaughtering Convention. Even the bricks of the Grand Han’s capital were carved with Long Chen’s image and name so that others could trample it.
Within the Grand Han, Long Chen was named as the devil incarnate. He was a murderous, irredeemable fiend in human form. There were countless people shouting on the streets, demanding his execution.
The Eastern Xuan Region’s geniuses rapidly gathered in the Grand Han. The Grand Han’s capital became filled with experts.
