786 The Revelling World (1/2)
”Chen Beixuan is back!”
When Chen Fan finally revealed himself, everyone on earth recognized him and knew he had returned.
Although Chen Fan had disappeared for three years, the memory of him was still fresh in everyone's mind. The once most powerful man on Earth had disappeared in the Realm of Kunxu.
Most people welcomed his return.
The suspense had kept the people in the east on the edge of their seats, but even as they were waiting anxiously for their fate to be decided, Chen Fan returned and turned the tables on those alien Deities. The audience felt their blood boil and a lust for battle surge.
”Bravo!”
”Well done!”
”From today on, I am Chen Beixuan's biggest fan!”
Many Chinese among the audience cheered.
Chen Fan's former friends and families, such as Jiang Tanqiu, Xu Haoxuan and Qi Wangsun jumped up from their chairs, waving their fists in the air.
However, a handful of them were disheartened by the turn of events.
Yan Jin, the peak of North Mountain.
The Wang family had weathered the storm well and remained as one of the five major families in Yan Jin. It had survived by capitulating to the Dragon Lake of Chang Bai. Things had been going smoothly for the Wang Family. The Old Lord Wang had retired, leaving Wang Keqin in charge.
Wang Keqin was playing with an antique snuff bottle and sauntered into the family mansion. His face was awash with confidence and smugness.
The Wang Family had been doing well under his lead, but it could be even better. Once the Fey Ancestor defeated the North Qiong and Kunlun, the Wang family would finally claim the seat of power in China.
”Father, King Kaneha led fifteen deities and descended upon the Chen Family. They are doomed, we can finally avenge my mother and my son.”
He walked into the main hall, and found that Wang Zhongguo stood rigidly in the middle of the room, eyes glued to the television.
”What's wrong?”
Wang Keqin sensed something was amiss. He looked at the screen.
On the screen, he saw a young man in white outfit standing by the Yellow Dragon River with hands behind his back. Around him were limbs and bodies of perished deities, and among them was the jarring carcass of the divine snake. Wang Keqin knew the face of that young man. It was a face that had been permanently tattooed onto his mind.
”Chen Fan!”
Wang Keqin's face paled, dropping the snuff bottle to the ground.
His shock was shared by many other families, such as the Xiao family, the Han family of Yan Jin, and the Qin family. All of them had knelt before the Dragon Lake.
A moment before, the world was in his grasp, but just a moment later, he felt his pride and strength slip away. Memories of Chen Fan's ruthless methods flooded back into their minds, filling their hearts with fear and anxiety.
”Chen Beixuan is back!”
”OMG! Not even Kunxu could stop him. He really lived up to his reputation. He killed fifteen Deities as soon as he returned. The Mystic realms need to be ready for Chen Beixuan's ire.”
”Invincible! Heavenly Chen is invincible!”
Be it the Martial Artists from the East or the Extraordinary Ones from the West, they all relished in Chen Fan's return.
During Chen Fan's absence, the mystic realms and the Forbidden Lands had taken over the Earth, pinning even the five major superpowers under their thumbs.
Of all the mortals on Earth, only Ye Qincang and a handful of others still resisted them.
Chen Fan's timely return had turned the situation around when the Earth nations were on their last legs. People quickly forgot about his past bouts of slaughter on earth and revered him as a savior.
This change in sentiment was particularly palpable in the CIA's forum.
After a few server updates, the forum had become the world's most authoritative platform for news about the Martial Arts world.
”He has won back our dignity!”
”Go Chen Beixuan Go! Keep at it! kill the old dragon for us!”
”At least one of us is their equal!”
Posts poured into the forum to express their joy. Some requested Chen Fan to be more proactive and sack all the mystic realms, leaving no lives behind. However, most people thought that was impossible even for Chen Fan.
”Welcome back, Chen Beixuan.”
The Observer only posted those brief words.
Meanwhile, the cultivators from the Mystic realms looked troubled.
Fifteen deities, including a few overlords from the Deity Roll such as King Kaneha had been killed by Chen Fan within seconds. This was the most catastrophic defeat they had ever suffered.
”Revenge.”
”We need to strike back!”
