Chapter 1259: Chapter 1279: I Knew Brother Chen is Not Ordinary_1

4,752 forces, 9,524 cultivator representatives, all were gathered, occupying their designated seats.

The innermost seats were occupied by the most powerful forces in the human clan, including three of the Nine Wild Rulers (Zixiao Sect, Taixu Sect, Shenxuan Sect), Three Cave Worlds (Wangwu Mountain, Weiyu Mountain, Kunlun Mountain), and another fourteen incredibly powerful sects, totalling twenty sects.

These twenty seats represented the most powerful and top-tier forces of the entire human clan. The span of their influence was very wide, their opinions carrying significant weight.

The second ring of seats was occupied by forces slightly weaker than the initial twenty sects. Nevertheless, they were very powerful too, not to be underestimated despite their inferiority to the top twenty.

The strength hierarchy among the sects has been roughly determined throughout the human clan. Gao Yi didn’t need to worry too much about it, as long as the differences were not too significant.

It was time.

Lin Chen descended from the entrance, landing on the stage.

Tens of thousands of eyes gazed at Lin Chen, each exuding different sentiments.

Among them, a few were familiar faces to Lin Chen.

Seated in the first circle of seats, next to the Cave Master of the Kunlun Mountain Tang Fankong, was Kunlun’s Child, Zhao Feiyu.

Zhao Feiyu’s gaze upon Lin Chen, who was standing on the stage, was calm, but beneath the placidity, it seemed as if an evil dragon was roaring.

He had actually resurrected an immortal, clung to the thigh of the Lord’s Daughter, scared off the Demon Army, and became a great hero who saved the entire human race!

Why him?

I possess the Innate Dao Body, how am I inferior to him?

Why did the Emperor’s Seal choose him?

Why not me?

If it had been me in his position, I could’ve done all that he accomplished too. There’s no way I couldn’t do something he’s capable of, after all, I’m powerful and have a better future than him.

Recalling the time when Lin Chen used his crafty means to defeat me in the Ghost Tower, causing me to be forced to cut off all of my extraordinary arms and become the Armless Arhat.

The Armless Arhat was not only unsightly; it also greatly reduced my combat power. This incident is simply an enormous humiliation for Zhao Feiyu!

I couldn’t possibly hide this incident. When I sought Tang Fankong’s help, he asked about the incident, and I had to tell him what happened.

Lin Chen holds an Image Recording Stone which recorded my arrogant words at that time. If I were to lie, Tang Fankong would ask Lin Chen for reassurance, and Lin Chen will bring out the Image Recording Stone to prove my lie. Wouldn’t that be a big slap to my face?

Zhao Feiyu clearly remembers the look on Tang Fankong’s face after he explained the story.

How to describe that expression?

Angry at my lack of resistance?

Disappointed?

Anyway, the look seemed disparaging, as if looking at a piece of jade turning into a stubborn stone, as if watching an expected genius ultimately becoming a waste. From hope to disappointment, and then reluctantly accepting.

The transition in his gaze, even more clamorous than the harshest flying sword Zhao Feiyu had ever seen.

"Let go of your grudges with him, and don’t provoke him anymore."

"You can’t beat him in a fair fight now, and if you wait longer, you might lose. If you continue to confront him, you’re just asking for trouble."

"He has some connections with Kunlun, and he said it himself; if you let go, he won’t bother you anymore. It’s a good lesson for now. There are countless capable people in the world, and not a single Innate Dao Body can cross it. This lesson will benefit you in the future."

If we were to say that Lin Chen destroyed all the arms of the Eight-Armed Arhat, resulting in an enormous physical blow to Zhao Feiyu, Tang Fankong’s words then dumped his heart into an abyss.

He told him to admit defeat!

To admit defeat to that guy, who came from the Human World and just by a bit of luck obtained the Emperor’s Seal!

Most importantly, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he was inferior to Lin Chen!

That’s the key!

Zhao Feiyu was enraged!

He disguised himself, spent a hefty amount of Spirit Stones to hire the Blood Shadow Assassin for an assassination attempt on Lin Chen.

According to the rules, the assassination wouldn’t stop unless Lin Chen was dead.

So much time had passed, why hadn’t Lin Chen died yet!

Not only did he not die, on the contrary, his status continued to rise, becoming a shining pearl for everyone to look up to.

That includes me!

Hatred!

An emotional tumult surged within Zhao Feiyu, but he dared not show a hint of it.

Lin Chen is now the hero who saved the human race, revered by everyone. If he clearly showed dissatisfaction or anything else, it would inevitably bring a huge negative impact to him and Kunlun.

I will endure!

There will be an opportunity!

Zhao Feiyu felt that he was bearing the humiliation, yet he did not know about his hiring of a killer. Otherwise, at this moment, he’d probably not be sitting here, calmly.

In addition to Zhao Feiyu, there were also members of the previous West Xuanzhou Team like Zhu Yao of the Fire God Zhu Family, Long Yan’er of Hua Yue Sect, who were seated beside their sect masters, gazing excitedly at Lin Chen standing on the stage.

Zhu Family, Hua Yue Sect, Taiyi Sect, Moday Sect, Lingxu etc., Gao Yi intentionally arranged them to sit together.

This was a special arrangement for the members of the West Xuanzhou Team and their respective sects.

Zhu Yao was excitedly greeting his long-time no-see friends, Xiao Rulong, Ji You, etc.

"Haha, I knew early on that Brother Chen was extraordinary. Looking at it now, I really have good foresight..."
