Chapter 847 - Backed into a Corner? (1/2)

“He’s Chen Beixuan?”

“Wasn’t Chen Beixuan dead? Why is he here? How did he become a Perfected Cultivator of the Chinese?”

“I heard that Chen Beixuan had escaped from the Beihan Region!”

Everyone was shocked and there was a clamor of voices.

Countless people from the sects and the powerful families found it unbelievable. This new Perfected Cultivator was a criminal, someone Sword King wanted to catch?

“Commander Zhu, even if you’re the commander of the White Python Guards, you can’t say something like that to smear our Perfected Cultivator,” Qin Luo narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

“Right, it’s the Perfected Cultivator Ceremony of our Perfected Cultivator Chen now. If Commander Zhu causes trouble here, you’ll become our enemy and we’ll fight with you until we die.” Elder Muchun, who had an explosive temper, was enraged.

Many others were also upset.

The Perfected Cultivator Ceremony was the most solemn and sacred ceremony, for a sect and its race. Whoever disturbed the ceremony would become the biggest enemy of that sect. Even if Zhu Jiushan was an important person from the Royal Palace, he couldn’t do whatever he wanted.

A lot of Chinese elders were furious.

The elder of the Xukong Sect said, “Commander Zhu, this is a serious matter. Not even Sword King can slander a Golden Core Perfected Cultivator without any evidence. Besides, this Perfected Cultivator is a mighty existence and has a promising future!”

The envoys of a few families and the Top Ten also agreed.

They had a powerful background. Even if they weren’t as strong as Zhu Jiushan, they weren’t afraid of him. He couldn’t slaughter the disciples and envoys of the families and the Grotto-heavens.

“We have recordings as evidence. Chen Fan looks exactly the same as Chen Beixuan…”

Before a Connate Cultivator of the White Python Guards finished, Qin Luo chuckled and said, “Recordings can be forged. If Commander Zhu wants some, I can make one showing that you’re one of Chen Beixuan’s accomplices.”

Many people smiled.

The world of cultivation had many secret arts, Dharma Spells and Divine Powers. A recording wasn’t the most reliable evidence. Many cultivators would disguise themselves to impersonate others and kill people.

“A few young envoys here have seen Perfected Cultivator Chen at the Juehan Mountain Range. I guess they won’t lie,” Chi Fenkong said.

Everyone was startled; they could only look at one another.

Chu Tianyu then came up with a smile.

“Right, I met Perfected Cultivator Chen in Zhuyan City. He looks the same as he was a year ago!”

Many exclaimed once he showed up.

“It’s Chu Tianyu from the Chu family, one of the eight powerful families in the region. Some said he’s as powerful as a Golden Core Cultivator and the most outstanding Overlord among the younger generation.”

The appearance of Chu Tianyu frightened a lot of people.

Then…

Gu Lingzi from the Silver Spirits, Bai Linger from Yin Yang Grotto-heaven and the others told everyone that they recognized Chen Fan. Bai Linger even looked surprised as she spoke. She had never thought Chen Fan would be this powerful.

With so many elites coming forward, people started to doubt that Chen Fan was exactly who they said he was.

“Perfected Cultivator Chen, what else do you have to say?” Zhu Jiushan said confidently.

“It’s easy for you to ask a few young Overlords to lie,” Qin Luo said.

“Haha, if this evidence is still not sufficient, why don’t we ask his little lover?” Zhu Jiushan chuckled and grabbed someone from the crowd.

An elegant girl in a red gown flew out and appeared in front of everyone.

“Sister Mu,” Yun Yier yelled.

That girl was Mu Hongti.

Zhu Jiushan smiled and said, “Perfected Cultivator Chen killed two heirs of the Qingyang Sect for her sake back then. Now that she’s out here, don’t you have anything to say?”

“Miss Mu, your parents and the entire Mu family are still in the dungeon of the White Python Guards. What you do will determine their future.”

Mu Hongti wanted to say that she didn’t recognize Chen Fan, but she was speechless after hearing what Zhu Jiushan said. She looked at Chen Fan, heart-broken.

“Sister Lin, please save Sister Mu.”

Tears welled up in Yun Yier’s eyes. She begged while grabbing Lin Wuhua’s black gown.

“It’s useless. n.o.body can save anyone from Zhu Jiushan. He’s a resourceful person. He must have prepared everything before he came. The entire Old China Town is full of traps now. Even Chen Beixuan might not be able to escape, let alone your Sister Mu,” Lin Wuhua said coldly.

“What?”

Yun Yier turned pale.

Then, many people looked at Chen Fan. Countless envoys, elders of the Grotto-heavens and Chinese people who had attended the ceremony were waiting for Chen Fan to reply.

Qin Luo wanted to refute, but he couldn’t say anything.

There were many similarities between Chen Fan and Chen Beixuan. They were both Chinese, young and powerful… Even Qin Luo had to admit those three things. Chen Fan was too suspicious. Besides, he already knew the truth.

“I can’t believe this is happening.”

The elder of the Xukong Sect shook his head.

It felt like a century had pa.s.sed.
