After the news of Hayashikawa accepting the challenge spread through the Dayin Tower, the battle between Shuanglin and Nakagawa became the focus of the entire Cultivation World.
Originally, many people thought that Hayashikawa wouldn't agree. After all, no matter how well prepared the challenge was, it still felt like a conspiracy. It could lead to Hayashikawa's death. However, they didn't expect that Hayashikawa would actually agree.
One had to know that before the Immortal Ancient World, Lin An was publicly recognized as the strongest Heaven's Pride of this generation, the most dazzling existence. After the Immortal Ancient World, Shuang Lin, Crown Prince Hai, and Mu Li became the focus of the entire Cultivation World. Many people were debating who was the true number one Heaven's Pride of the Cultivation World.
During the battle in the Immortal Primordial World, although Hayashikawa turned the tide and killed Crown Prince Skeleton, Lin An and Mu Li also played a key role. In the end, Hayashikawa relied on the sword Beauty under the Moonlight to break the Xuan Immortal's light curtain, so it couldn't fully reflect Hayashikawa's strength. In the situation at that time, whoever had the sword would win the final battle.
After that battle, it had to be said that many people worshipped Hayashikawa and even the Akatsuki.
However, most of these people were Rogue Cultivators or small sects. Later, when the major forces besieged the Akatsuki, they didn't have much of a deterrent force, so they didn't dare to stand up and say anything. However, as things developed, the Akatsuki stirred up the entire Nakagawa Continent with their own strength and created the most terrible Yellow Spring Catastrophe in recent thousands of years. This made many low-level cultivators feel the hope of breaking the existing rules.
Just like them, Xiao rose from the bottom and walked step by step to today's position, deterring all the major forces and achieving such a great undertaking. In the hearts of these practitioners, Xiao and the Oracles of Xiao were heroes in their hearts.
They had no background or wealth, but they relied on their talents to become existences that others looked up to.
The storm of public opinion began to spread throughout Nakagawa. Many rogue cultivators and small sects began to support Hayashikawa. They did not dare to directly challenge the Nakagawa Dynasty and the major forces, but they could still stand on the moral high ground and shout a few slogans.
For example, they had to maintain a fair environment for the duel this time. They hoped that the major forces would not interfere and that they would not investigate Hayashikawa's whereabouts so that he could properly prepare for this battle.
And as the voices became louder and louder, many people from the big sects also stood up, such as Sanqing Sect, they clearly stated that they wouldn't care about the grievances between Nakagawa Royal Family and Akatsuki, but if the Royal Family used this competition as an opportunity to make a move against Akatsuki, they would choose to make a move.
Yuanzong followed closely behind and announced to the world that they hoped the duel would be carried out fairly and not involve the grievances of the outside world. If someone chose to make a move during the duel, then Yuanzong would also intervene.
Dayin Tower had always been neutral, and this time was the same. But this time, the neutrality was actually on Hayashikawa's side.
The development of the matter gradually exploded in an unstoppable way. The major forces were forced to state that they would not make a move against Hayashikawa at this time, even those who had a grudge against him.
At this time, Lin Family also released a ruthless statement, clearly stating that this was their family's internal strife, and they hoped that the outside world would not intervene, otherwise it would be considered as interfering with Lin Family's internal affairs, and they would be Lin Family's enemy.
Since the matter had reached this point, the Royal Family of Nakagawa also had no choice but to state that they would not intervene in the duel, and all grievances would be settled after the duel. So far, on the surface, Hayashikawa's safety was greatly guaranteed. After all, unlike the small sects, these major sects valued their face and credibility the most. Now that they had already declared their stance, they would not slap their own face, otherwise they would become the laughingstock of the entire continent.
Hayashikawa was inside the Origin Sphere, but White Zetsu and Jade Maiden were transmitting everything that happened outside to him, because he was very clear about everything that happened outside. Especially when he learned that so many people were supporting him, he was quite surprised. After all, in Nakagawa, he didn't do anything good.
"Why do I feel like a civilian hero?" Hayashikawa chuckled and shook his head.
Although he set the time of the duel to be one month later, he didn't go into seclusion to cultivate during this period of time. He was just in a daze, comprehending the great dao of heaven and earth, or holding the Chaos Pearl, sitting under the Enlightenment Ancient Tree for an entire day. No one knew what he was doing, and no one disturbed him.
Until half a month later, someone contacted Hayashikawa through White Zetsu, wanting to see him.
"Baili Chenle?"
Seeing these four words, Hayashikawa muttered to himself for a moment, stood up, and activated Yomi-no-Yomi-no-Kuni. He directly left the Origin Sphere.
Moon Emissary was the one who had the best relationship with Hayashikawa in [Daybreak]. The two of them could be considered friends. Even when Hayashikawa and Lin An's relationship hadn't eased, they didn't become enemies.
At that time, Moon Emissary said that if Hayashikawa and Lin An really had a life and death battle one day, he wouldn't help either of them.
"You're in a good mood. You still have the leisure to drink tea and bask in the sun here!"
Hayashikawa's figure passed through the endless space. When he walked out, he was already standing in a magnificent manor under the sun. He rolled his eyes and saw Baili Chenle drinking tea in the pavilion by the lake.
"Damn, you scared me to death!"
Hayashikawa's sudden appearance made Baili Chenle jump. He almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
"Am I that scary?" Hayashikawa curled his lips. His figure flashed and came to the pavilion. He sat opposite Baili Chenle and took a sip of the tea that had been prepared for him.
"It's a little bitter. It's not the taste I like!" Hayashikawa pursed his lips and said.
"This is heart tea, the treasure of Yuanhe Region. The taste of your heart is the same as the taste of the tea!" Baili Chenle explained softly.
"Is that so …" Hayashikawa was stunned. He opened his mouth and said, "Now it's a little sweet …"
"You can continue to pretend!" Baili Chenle snorted.
Hayashikawa didn't say anything and continued to sip the tea in the cup.
Ordinary tea in the mouth, even if it was bitter, it would first be bitter and then sweet with a strong tea fragrance. But this tea, no matter how Hayashikawa tasted it, there was only the word 'bitter'. There was no other taste.
After drinking a cup of tea, Hayashikawa put down the teacup in his hand. Baili Chenle wanted to add more tea but was stopped by Hayashikawa.
"What's wrong?"
"Forget it, it's too bitter. I don't want to drink it anymore!"
Hayashikawa shook his head.
Baili Chenle was stunned. After putting down the teapot, he asked, "Lin An … did he say something?"
Hayashikawa licked his lips and looked at the sunny lake outside. "He said that if he loses, he will return my eyes!"
