Chapter 860 - The World Was Shocked (1/2)

“Have you heard about the incident in the royal city?”

“Yeah, but that’s bullsh*t! Someone killed everyone in the Royal Palace, including Sword King, all by himself? It’s like a joke. Who’s capable of doing that? A Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord? Or an elite on the Longevity Roll? Besides, Lord Beihan is still here. Why didn’t he come and stop that man?”

“I didn’t believe it either, but my elders were there and they saw it with their own eyes. They don’t know why Lord Beihan didn’t show up either. Maybe he’s not in the royal city?”

“What?”

Billions of people were astounded.

The news about the battle in the royal city was spread across all thirty six states. The Top Ten, the eight powerful families and all the large sects knew about it.

When people heard the news…

They were overwhelmed with shock.

The Royal Palace had ruled the Beihan Region for thousands of years. Lord Beihan’s two generations had suppressed the world and Sword King was invincible. How could such powerful forces be defeated by one person, just like that?

At first, many people didn’t believe it, thinking it was just a joke or a rumor.

At the government building of the Yan State.

Xu Hao, the Young Lord of the Yan State, had even asked someone to behead the person who had spread the rumors. “Our Royal Palace is immensely powerful. How would Chen Beixuan be able to kill everyone there? Whoever says something like that will be executed…”

A flash of firelight came rus.h.i.+ng in before he finished.

Xu Hao opened the contents and his face turned pale.

The Ancestral Patriarch of the Ding family, a famous family in Red Flame City, asked, “Young Lord, what’s the order?”

Many of the other Ancestral Patriarchs had also seen the fire. They knew this was the “Miles Fire Talisman” of the Royal Palace, which was used to deliver urgent messages; it was able to fly a hundred thousand miles a day.

Xu Hao’s hands trembled for a while before he said, “The Royal Palace was destroyed… Sword King died… Chen Beixuan won!”

“What?”

All the Ancestral Patriarchs were dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe the news.

Xu Hao held the fire talisman with hatred in his eyes. He wondered why he didn’t see how powerful the Chinese kid was in the past. After having killed everyone in the Royal Palace, the government of the Yan State was nothing to him.

He became immediately anxious the moment he thought of the Chinese in the Yan State.

In the Tianmang Grotto-heaven.

Many elders in the Tianmang Hall received the news and snickered, but the entire Tianmang Grotto-heaven was pressured when they confirmed the facts.

Manggu got out and saw the pale faces of the elders.

“What’s wrong?”

Manggu frowned.

He was more confident in forming a fifth-grade Golden Core after cultivating this time. Then, he had to collect stones and save power to enter the Golden Core Level.

“Nothing.”

The Grand Elder smiled wryly.

“Grand Elder, I’ve become much more powerful and my Tianmang Body is also complete. I know I can defeat Lin Wuhua and Gu Lingzi. Once I go through the Thunder Tribulation and form the Golden Core, not even Perfected Cultivator Chen would be a match for me,” Manggu said with confidence.

The Grand Elder frowned. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to surpa.s.s him. Perfected Cultivator Chen is Chen Beixuan!”

“That’s wonderful. By then, I’ll settle all the scores, old or new.” Manggu’s eyes twinkled and his Tianmang Body got stronger.

“Well…”

All the elders smiled wryly. That was someone who had suppressed the entire region and killed a sixth-grade Golden Core Cultivator, all by himself. Would he care about a cultivator who hadn’t even become a real fifth-grade Golden Core Cultivator yet?

Other than the Grotto-heavens, many families and races also suffered from a great loss.

The Violent Apes.

As one of the Top Ten powers, the Violent Apes were extremely domineering. They had conquered the entire Mountain State and their settlements were spread over thousands of mountains. But that day, all the Violent Apes remained silent.

When the news about the death of their leader arrived, many Overlords said they wanted to go to the royal city and exterminate the Chinese. And yet, when more messages arrived, almost none of them dared to say anything.

The Heavenly Wolves, the Six-armed Snakes, the Silver Spirits, the Chu family… Many families were gloomy and anxious as they had chosen the wrong side, causing their leaders to be killed.

Chen Fan had slayed the Zhao family, so he might also go after them.

“We have to think of a solution.”

All the families had clever people and they suddenly thought about the Chinese. People might not have the courage to ask Chen Fan for mercy, but they could seek the Chinese.

So, there were a lot of envoys outside Old China Town, covering the entire sky. Looking from above, countless groups were going towards Old China Town from all directions, like swarms of ants.

At the Ancestral Temple.
