Chapter 502 (1/2)
It was because of the name, The Origin, that Chu Yunsheng was able to take away Hu Zai and a deputy commander from the western front’s air base without single bloodshed. This was probably also the first time Chu Yunsheng felt that the reputation could also bring some benefits to him.
In the East, people called him “the most powerful man in the world”, while in the West, he was regarded as “the most influential man in the world”.
Those two ways of addressing Chu Yunsheng was caused by the cultural differences between the East and the West. But in any case, even though Chu Yunsheng was now implicitly cla.s.sified as one sequence of “G.o.d”, the way that those major forces addressed him, especially among the commoners, had not changed much. The reason for this was not that the major forces did not want to change it, but the same old problem that also happened in the age of light age as well. No matter how fast the information was spread, once people were familiar with something, it would be very hard for them to change it.
As early as Chu Yunsheng left Luoyang City, he had clearly felt that the way that those eastern major forces treated him began to mitigate in a strange way. In particular, Jin Ling City; not only did they leak out the location of the tiger, but they also sent Jing Ji out. They even made the relations.h.i.+p between him and Jing Ji very clear to everyone.
This type of change, he did not know what the inside story was. After all, this was not his expertise. He could only speculate from the information he knew and guess that it would probably have something to do with the man, who claimed that he had tempered his Soul Force with his elemental fire. If this guess was correct, then the ident.i.ty of that man would be very clear.
He must be the leader of the fire race.
Even if he was not the leader, his status within the Fire Race must be very high. Otherwise, all the forces, especially the cities a.s.sociated with the Fire Race, would not listen to the man.
In this way, it could explain why Jin Ling City changed its standpoint.
Chu Yunsheng still remembered that Jin Ling City had a very deep relations.h.i.+p with the Fire Race. It seemed that not long after Earth plunged into darkness, and before the Ice Race even appeared, the Fire Race had already been involved in all kinds of aspects of Jin Ling City.
Speaking of Jin Ling City, from the first commander-in-chief to the forces of the Fang family, even Ding Yan’s old friend “Fire King”, Qi Xuan, had the traces of the Fire Race’s support or involvement.
This reminded Chu Yunsheng, who was standing on the back of the sharp-winged insect, of another thing.
When he was still in Jin Ling city, he saw a confidential letter from Qi Xuan through Ding Yan. Based on his limited knowledge at that time, he simply believed what was written in the letter. Even Qi Xuan himself also believed it.
“Brother Thirteen, since the cloaked man came to visit, my body started to show strange signs. although the negotiation was not yet completed, I have a strange feeling that I don’t have much time left. I am very worried. Because I could not find out what caused it. Yesterday, I hid my son in the Bauhinia mountain. If I don’t come back to you to ask for this letter in three days, it means that I am dead, if you still see me, that person is no longer me!”
He did not think much at that time, because at that time he thought that the cloaked man might be the great devil that the senior pract.i.tioner mentioned. But now he thought it again, it was very strange.
First of all, what did the cloaked man discuss with Qi Xuan?
Qi Xuan did not mention it, Ding Yan did not make it clear, and the cloaked man was later killed by him. So this secret was buried even deeper.
At that time, Ding Yan told him that it was the power of the Fire King that made the cloaked man interested in him, and wanted him to join them. Ding Yan even told him that the cloaked man might look for him as well.
However, now he thought it carefully again, it seemed like, never once, had the cloaked man actually come to him.
Even after he killed the Purple flame monster, blew up tombs and became famous in Jin Ling city, the cloaked man still didn’t come to him. If someone told him that it was because he was busy preparing for the anti-world, he would probably believe it at that time. But now he would not believe it at all. That didn’t make any sense. There must be some other reasons.
And in all of this, what role did Ding Yan play? Or what did he know that he didn’t tell him? Or maybe Ding Yan was hiding something from the very beginning.
Chu Yunsheng’s suspicion was not without any basis.
