Chapter 104: Provocation from Mad Dragon Fortress, Chen Changsheng: Woohoo! They’re Bullying Me

As this voice rang out, the entire Heavenly Heroes Conference fell silent.

All eyes focused on Chen Changsheng.

Since Chen Changsheng rose to fame, many have investigated this prodigy from the Eastern Wastes.

However, after some investigation, people discovered that even those from the Eastern Wastes Prodigy Group did not know his background.

Moreover, it seemed Chen Changsheng had deliberately avoided friction with others.

This situation left some who wanted to probe into Chen Changsheng’s details quite annoyed.

But now, there was no way for Chen Changsheng to avoid this.

With a deliberate provocation, unless Chen Changsheng wanted to be a turtle hiding in its shell, this matter would not end peacefully.

“From Mad Dragon Fortress, Young Master Wan Tong.”

“Practitioner of the family’s ultimate technique, Mad Dragon Fist. Ten years ago, he fought single-handedly against five late-stage Nascent Soul experts and gained fame.”

“But if I’m not mistaken, I broke one of your legs five years ago.”

“Why do you still have the guts to speak in front of this lady?”

Gongsun Huaiyu put down the spirit fruit in her hand and glanced toward the seats behind her.

Though Chen Changsheng had not openly acknowledged their master-disciple relationship, Gongsun Huaiyu truly regarded him as a grandmaster.

Perhaps the grandmaster wouldn’t mind the barking of these clowns, but she couldn’t allow anyone to insult him.

Hearing Gongsun Huaiyu’s words, a pale-faced Young Master smirked disdainfully, saying,

“What, did I say something wrong?”

“Everyone here is a person of note.”

“They’ve come here for intellectual exchange, not like some people just trying to take advantage.”

“I really don’t know how thick some people’s skin is, coming all this way just to mooch.”

After saying this, Wan Tong cast a mocking glance at Chen Changsheng and began to drink fine wine alone.

“Boom!”

A loud noise erupted beside Chen Changsheng.

Upon closer inspection, it was Gongsun Huaiyu lashing out in anger, but was stopped by Chen Changsheng.

“Young Master, why are you stopping me?”

“With this kind of trash, I’ll definitely take his head in under three moves.”

In response to Gongsun Huaiyu’s words, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, “Huaiyu, young ladies shouldn’t be so temperamental.”

“This young master is quite right; our actions are indeed taking advantage.”

Saying this, Chen Changsheng headed directly to Jiang Ping.

“Splash!”

Countless spirit fruits cascaded onto Jiang Ping’s table, including one Chen Changsheng had just taken from Jiang Ping.

“Holy Son Jiang, I truly apologize; I didn’t know these fruits were not for eating.”

“If there’s any shortcoming, please forgive me.”

“Some fruits have already gone into my stomach, so I’m afraid I can’t return them to you.”

“This is five kilograms of Divine Source, which can be considered our payment for the fruits we just consumed.”

Placing a beast skin bag on the table, Chen Changsheng waved at Gongsun Huaiyu, and the two turned to leave.

As Chen Changsheng was leaving, Su Tian and others naturally kept close behind.

Faced with this situation, those prodigies who had wanted Chen Changsheng’s fruits instantly changed their expressions.

“Holy Son Jiang, do we need to pay to participate in this Heavenly Heroes Conference?”

“Each table’s fruits should belong to the prodigies sitting there.”

“Could it be that at the Purple House Sacred Ground, we don’t even have the right to give away a few fruits?”

The Saintess of the Purple Manor’s words drifted into Jiang Ping’s ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping’s expression immediately darkened.

It should be noted that every top prodigy is a rare encounter, and someone like Chen Changsheng, who has no fixed allegiance, is even more of a precious find.

It is precisely because of the potential to win him over that the Kunlun Sacred Ground has repeatedly tolerated Chen Changsheng.

Even if they ultimately cannot win him over, at least they wouldn’t have him as an enemy.

However, now, because of some trivial fruits, they had offended Chen Changsheng; this trade had truly turned out poorly.

At the same time, Fu Yao and Batu Lu each tossed some Divine Source onto the table, preparing to stand up and leave.

Clearly, both felt they had been offended.

Top prodigies naturally pride themselves; they are not ones to be humiliated by just anyone.

Seeing the situation spiral out of control, Jiang Ping hurriedly said,

“Everyone, please hold on; the Kunlun Sacred Ground absolutely means no offense.”

As he said this, Jiang Ping shot a murderous glance at Wan Tong not far away.

Now that the bigwigs had already arrived, it meant that this grand conference was temporarily under his control.

If such a major incident occurred in this short time, his position as Holy Son would certainly be shaken.

“Unbridled!”

“Does the Kunlun Sacred Ground allow you to speak? Hurry up and apologize to my brother Chen!”

Hearing Jiang Ping’s reprimand, Wan Tong’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat, flowing like a waterfall.

Logically speaking, since he provoked someone, Chen Changsheng would definitely retaliate against him.

At that point, they would inevitably come to blows.

Although he wasn’t Chen Changsheng’s opponent, after this battle, the name of Wan Tong from Mad Dragon Fortress would surely spread throughout the Central Courtyard.

Furthermore, the Kunlun Sacred Ground would not allow anyone to d*e in this Heavenly Heroes Conference.

However, he never expected Chen Changsheng to not play by the rules!

Seeing Chen Changsheng walking further away, Jiang Ping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Just when Jiang Ping was about to move to intercept Chen Changsheng, he stopped.

Because outside the palace, a group of people was approaching, talking and laughing.

“Hahaha!”

“Who would have thought that the three of you would actually come in person? The Kunlun Sacred Ground is truly honored!”

“Holy Son Jiang is joking; such a grand event as the Heavenly Heroes Conference is indeed something our Xuanwu Kingdom simply cannot miss.”

“There was a minor issue with the teleportation array earlier, which is why we arrived a bit late.”

As they spoke, the group approaching saw Chen Changsheng, who was about to leave.

The gazes of both sides locked onto each other, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

The group arriving from outside could be considered the most powerful figures in the Central Courtyard.

Among them were the leaders of Kunlun, Yao Guang, Purple House, and Langya Pavilion, as well as some powerful figures from other Central Courtyard factions.

Originally, these great powers had planned to directly start the Heavenly Heroes Conference.

However, after suddenly receiving word that some friends from the Eastern Wastes were arriving, out of courtesy, they naturally came to greet them. Yet when they returned, they stumbled upon the scene from just moments ago.

Seeing Chen Changsheng’s face, the three great powers from the Eastern Wastes couldn’t help but clench their fists.

After hundreds of years, they finally saw this guy again.

Unlike before, the once nobody had become an important figure, a master now known to others.

Even though his appearance remained unchanged, the years had certainly left their mark.

And this guy still looked as young and vibrant as ever.

It was as if time had completely forgotten this brat.

What was more frustrating was that he somehow seemed even younger than before.

The two sides maintained their gazes for two breaths, then Chen Changsheng suddenly cried out.

“Woohoo!”

“You’ve finally come! Let’s go home; the Kunlun Sacred Ground bullies people too much.”
