The various feudal lords and kings had gathered in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's capital for a single purpose — to celebrate the inauguration of the new Sovereign Chen Yong.
From time to time, experts with profound auras would walk along the wide streets. Even a Saint 9-dan expert would tremble uncontrollably before them, indicating that they had already reached Great Sage.
Had it been any other time, he would have been able to sweep across the world with such strength, and there would have been no one who would have been able to stop him. However, there was no one who would have dared to act recklessly in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. The newly appointed Sovereign Chen Yong had conquered the Four Seas and unified the Spirit Tribe. Countless experts had submitted to him, and the Myriad Tribes had come to pay their respects to him.
"The new Sovereign Chen Yong is truly a formidable figure. The previous Sovereign Chen Yong was injured by Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing's collusion with the humans, but the new Sovereign Chen Yong appeared out of nowhere. Not only did he foil their schemes, he even slew the immortal envoy from the Azure, thus establishing his invincible foundation …"
A storyteller held a folding fan in his hand as he recounted the events that had transpired.
"Isn't that a little too much? I saw the battle in the capital a month ago with my own eyes. Back then, Sovereign Chen Yong was only a Great Sage, so there was no way he could have interfered in the battle. It was an unknown Ancient Sage who made a move and slew the immortal envoy! "
A passerby questioned.
It had only been a month since the battle, but what they had witnessed was completely different from what the storyteller had said.
The former had been publicizing the achievements of the new Sovereign Chen Yong, but in truth, those who had witnessed the battle knew that the greatest contributor to the battle was not him but an Ancient Sage who had never appeared before.
Noticing Zhang Xuan's doubt, the storyteller asked with a smile, "Do you know who that unknown Ancient Sage is?"
"I … don't know!"
The passerby shook his head. The others in the surroundings also had confused looks on their faces.
"That person has never revealed his name, and he hasn't appeared since that day. Could it be that you know who he is?"
A passerby asked.
The crowd turned their gazes over.
The entire capital was filled with doubts about the mysterious expert, and they wanted to know where he had come from.
"Of course I do!"
Seeing that everyone's appetite had been whetted, the storyteller smiled, stroked his beard, and tapped the copper gong in front of him with his fingers.
"Speak!"
A plump figure wearing a conical bamboo hat flicked his wrist and tossed several Great Yong coins into it. Dang lang!
Upon seeing the money, the eyes of the storyteller lit up in excitement. He quickly stowed the Great Yong coins into his sleeves before fanning himself once more. With a light chuckle, he lowered his voice and said, "It's said that the mysterious Ancient Sage is Sovereign Chen Yong's direct disciple, a reclusive expert. It was under his tutelage that Sovereign Chen Yong was able to rise to his current heights and conquer the world. Not only so, I heard that he even tamed Ancient Sage Allfire and made Ancient Sage Mo Ling submit to him. Due to that, His Majesty was able to win the support of the two of them … "
"Sovereign Chen Yong's teacher?"
"You're bragging, right? If Sovereign Chen Yong has inherited the heritage of the previous Sovereign Chen Yong, could it be that his teacher isn't the previous Sovereign Chen Yong? "
Someone questioned.
"Of course not! It's true that the previous Sovereign Chen Yong was a formidable figure who won the admiration of many, but he wasn't qualified to be the new Sovereign Chen Yong's teacher! I even heard that the old Sovereign Chen Yong would have to bow and address his teacher as Young Master! "
The storyteller said.
"The old Sovereign Chen Yong is addressing him as Young Master? Aren't you getting more and more boastful? Could it be that Sovereign Chen Yong's teacher is a god? "
The plump figure wearing the conical bamboo hat sneered.
"Of course he's a god! If he isn't a god, how could he possibly slay an Immortal Envoy from the Azure so easily?" The storyteller harrumphed coldly. "In the past tens of thousands of years, other than Kong Shi of mankind and Vicious of our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, have you heard of anyone who wields such strength?"
Everyone fell silent.
Just from the name itself, one could tell that the Immortal Envoy from the Azure was a symbol of invincibility. Over the past tens of thousands of years, there had only been two Immortal Envoys who had managed to slay an Immortal Envoy with their own strength.
Yet, an Ancient Sage had appeared out of nowhere and killed an Immortal Envoy so easily. It was hard to believe that the other party was not a god.
"Sovereign Chen Yong is the direct disciple of a god, and that's why he's able to inherit the throne and receive the blessing of the heavens. This is the fortune of our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and it's something that we should be proud of!"
The more the storyteller spoke, the more agitated he became.
"Indeed! It's my honor to be in the same generation as Sovereign Chen Yong!"
"Our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will only grow stronger in the future!"
"The heavens are on our side!"
…
Everyone was agitated.
"Humph! What god? In my opinion, he's just trying to beguile us with some Divine Authority or something to fool us! "
The caped fatty sneered. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt someone pulling him from behind.
Frowning, he turned around and saw a tall and slender lady dressed in a straw cape. "Go back!"
"I'm really not here for food. I'm here to look for news!"
The fatty was stunned for a moment before stuffing a ball of meat into his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, the lady's cold voice suddenly cut him off. "My senior told me to call you back. If you don't listen to her, you can continue staying here!"
"…"
The fatty shuddered in fear before swiftly changing his expression. "Hahaha, what are you talking about? How could I possibly dare to disobey my senior? Let's hurry up and go. Don't keep her waiting …"
The lady led the way, and after taking a few turns, they finally arrived at a small courtyard. She pushed open the door and walked in.
Not too long later, they arrived at a sealed room. The surroundings had been sealed with some kind of special means, such that not even sound or Spiritual Perception could be heard.
There were a few people seated in the room, and from the looks of it, they weren't Otherworldly Demons but humans.
"Hehe, I was just going out to look for news …"
Looking at the lady standing at the very center of the room with a deep frown, the fatty scratched his head awkwardly.
"What news did you manage to find out? Why don't you tell me about it? "
The young man by the side asked with a smile. Behind him was a spear that was leaning against the wall. The spear emanated a cold glint.
"This … The newly-appointed Sovereign Chen Yong is indeed a talented individual. Not only did he manage to bring peace to the world, he even got the storyteller to spread the news that he was bestowed the Divine Authority by the Heavens. Currently, the entire capital, and even the entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, thinks that he's the Chosen One sent by the gods to save their people.
The fatty pondered for a moment before replying.
"I have also heard about this matter. The newly-appointed Sovereign Chen Yong is indeed a talented individual. Under his leadership, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will surely rise to greater heights. Mankind will be in danger!"
The young man said with a deep frown. He turned to the lady in the middle and asked, "Senior, what should we do now?"
"The newly-appointed Sovereign Chen Yong has just ascended to the throne, so it's only natural that he would have to spread the news around in order to win the loyalty of everyone. It's only natural that he would create such a huge commotion!"
The lady in the middle rapped her fingers on the table with a deep frown. A moment later, she said, "However, Zheng Yang is right. If we allow this to continue, the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe will eventually be unified, and mankind will be in danger. Thus … we have to make the first move! We'll assassinate him while the enthronement ceremony is in chaos! "
