100 Chapter 100 (1/2)

There was total silence for a few minutes and no brave soul tried to break the stalemate between rest and motion.

Not even the select group of people who remained standing alone amidst a sea of kneeling people.

There were perhaps 60 or so old men and women in the courtyard.

But around the encirclement, there were only 8 silent black garbed cultivators that showed only their cold eyes behind the covers of their masks.

On the side, the corpse that was losing precious life blood from its sorry location was quickly emptied out of sympathizers.

The people nearby the fallen Duan Ru were smart enough to vacate its vicinity and afterwards, did not even care as much as glance to the slowly decaying body of the dead.

The cold carcass of the Emissary was left there in plain sight in the midst of everyone. And yet it was ignored like it never existed in the first place.

Only the stench of blood filled the scene in slow dramatic fashion but no one flinched because not one amongst them were free and innocent of murder in the first place.

Their hands were filled by it in one way or another.

'I'm sorry. May you be reincarnated and be a good man in your next life.' Clark said a silent prayer to the nameless man he just slaughtered.

He would have liked to let this loud mouth keep a complete corpse in his passing but the violent tendencies inside him surged without his notice.

'And i feel very guilty because it felt pretty good to do so. To just let it be and release my baser instincts. I just hope that i won't kill someone innocent because of this negative buff hanging over my head.'

Clark shook his head because he knew deep inside that that was a tall order to accomplish.

Most especially now that he had already jumped several realms in just the span of one single day of playing games.

'I can control this power. I must!' Clark encouraged himself and after a few breaths of calming his excited emotions, he finally greeted his Elders.

”Good morning, Patriarch! I am glad that you and the four great elders of the clan have safely arrived for this momentous day of Nexus City.”

Clark threw a friendly smile towards the elders of Lu and was not the least bit ashamed to say these words in front of the others that could only grovel with their knees mercilessly kissing the ground for today's event.

Clark did not invite the crew of defeated cultivators to get into a more comfortable position because he was letting them know firsthand how drastically their lives would change from now on.

These men and women knew only one eternal truth in this world. The bigger fist always commanded absolute obedience in its fold.

Defy this golden rule of the age and one would certainly end up deader than dead in the aftermath.

”I am happy to be here, Elder Lu Chen. And you have the complete support of the Lu Family behind you!”

Patriarch Lu Jian raised his voice loudly to announce to everyone in attendance that this was a man of their clan.

The very person who had captured a city of a hundred million people in just the span of a single night. He was of course not that stupid to think that Elder Lu Chen had nothing to do with all of this.

Not after he'd seen the confidence that this man of Lu had exuded at his very entrance.

But more than that, Lu Jian could not believe his eyes on the way Elder Lu Chen had easily dispatched Emissary Duan Ru as if he was nothing more but dirt in the earth.

'A 4th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm simply could not do that! What kind of fortuitous encounter did you find yesterday, Elder Lu Chen?' Patriarch Lu Jian could not help but wonder inside.

Even if Emissary Duan Ru was kneeling on the ground when the attack happened, he could have simply dodge or take the attack directly without incurring any damage at all from a 4th Stage Expert.

One should know that Emissary Duan Ru was already at the 6th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm!

But what happened was beyond that. Elder Lu Chen had not even left his spot near the entrance of his house when the curious tragedy occurred.

'Elemental Force?!' In the end, Patriarch Lu Jian deduced the move that Elder Lu Chen had employed to kill Emissary Duan Ru with just one strike alone.

Along this certain realization, the rest of the group also determined for themselves what had really taken place about the same time as Lu Jian did.

They were not foolish people and were obviously not blind yet to miss the clear evidence that slapped their faces even as they breathed today. But there was only one problem with this assumption.

'Elder Lu Chen was only at the 4th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm and not someone who has already stepped in the next realm of cultivation. The Foundation Establishment Realm!'

Each had this single thought right now and even tried again and again to determine Elder Lu Chen's present cultivation with their supernatural senses.

In the end, everyone of them arrived at an immovable conclusion. Elder Lu Chen was really indeed only at 4th Stage of the Mortal Shedding Realm!

After this solid determination came about, stunned expressions of varying degrees were exhibited on the scene from all the wrinkled faces of this special group of old goats.

'How is this possible?'

'Is he really a Foundation Establishment Senior and has only used a secret technique to hide his true realm?'

'This is not anymore Lu Chen! He's been possessed by a demon!'
