Chapter 468: Goodbye, Old Friends, the Hidden Hand Behind
In response to Chen Changsheng’s words, a voice came from inside a coffin.
“When did your scheme start?”
“It started when I made a grand entrance into Mountain River Academy.”
“The reason I made such a grand entrance at Mountain River Academy was to scare you all.”
“Because only by scaring you old rats would you huddle together for warmth.”
“It has proven that my assumption was correct; you have indeed gathered together, and extremely exclusivist.”
“You are cautious of Wang Hao and everything related to me, but you have overlooked what is behind you.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng raised the communication device in his hand.
“Twenty days ago, I was defeated, and you pressed down hard on Mountain River Academy, causing the teachers to resign.”
“What’s worse, you didn’t allow any force to take them in.”
“Because you feared that there were pieces I had planted among these teachers.”
“But what you didn’t consider is that by doing this, you actually helped me.”
“These people are transmitting messages using the Qilin Communication Device to earn some cultivation resources.”
“This way, the young people of the Nine Domains will come to understand one thing: that they can become strong without selling their lives to you.”
“To be honest, if you hadn’t acted this way, I wouldn’t have been able to get them to publicly transmit messages; after all, they also care about their reputation.”
Hearing this, Ma Zhouru angrily said, “Is that why they betrayed their own race?”
“No, no, no!”
“My plans have never been so rudimentary.”
“Since Wang Hao made contact with you, you have been on guard because he is a demon cultivator, because he is related to me.”
“In order to prevent your young subordinates from being tempted by him, you publicized his past extensively.”
“The purpose was to make everyone believe that he is not a good person.”
“I don’t know whether this tactic is effective, but you will definitely establish an example in everyone’s hearts.”
“That is, after betraying their ancestors, they can still live well.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng chuckled while glancing at Wang Hao.
Seeing this, Wang Hao, looking kind and benevolent, said, “I can attest to that; after betraying my ancestors, I have lived very happily.”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Changsheng continued, “Everything I have done is to establish an example in the hearts of the young people.”
“Twenty days ago, when I was defeated, I said, ‘We are the remnants of the old era; there are no sails for us in the new era.'”
“I am of the old era, and so are you; my curtain fall is also your curtain fall.”
After hearing this, Ma Zhouru closed his eyes in despair.
“So the purpose of all you have done is to prevent hatred from continuing.”
“Yes.”
“But they ultimately betrayed their own race; how will they silence the voices of the masses in the future?”
“When did they betray their race? The ones killing you are me, not them.”
“And I will let you d*e under Thunder Tribulation, so that everyone knows you died under Thunder Tribulation.”
“Today, your attempt to k*ll Qian Ya is sufficient proof that your subordinates have started to disobey.”
Hearing this, Ma Zhouru’s mouth twitched.
“So our killing of Little Ming Wang’s followers is also part of your plan?”
“Yes, they too are remnants of the old era; although they are not bad, they occupy positions but refuse to give way.”
“Originally, Little Ming Wang wanted to get his hand on them, but I made some changes to the plan.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand, “Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said; you can rest in peace on your journey.”
“You dare confront me so brazenly; this indicates that someone supports you from behind.”
“I need to meet them now.”
“Chen Changsheng!”
Ma Zhouru called out to Chen Changsheng, who was about to leave.
“Is there anything else?”
“Have you never been wary of our strength?”
“Of course not, even when the Three Thousand Continents were at their peak, I could obliterate you; let alone you remaining few old rats.”
“Then who among the divine and demon races is secretly helping you; you were completely under our surveillance.”
“Didn’t you already guess it? Why ask me?”
Having said this, Chen Changsheng tore open space and walked in with Su Wan’er.
“Boom!”
Ma Zhouru struck a nearby wolf.
“Chen Changsheng, you b*stard, don’t expose my identity like this!”
Blocking Ma Zhouru’s attack, the wolf quickly escaped.
This wolf had secretly hidden for more than thirty years—it was Zhi Ze.
……
In the Void.
A gigantic land floated in the emptiness; in the center of this land, there was a black mountain range stretching eight hundred miles.
Looking at the scene before him, Chen Changsheng smirked and spoke.
“I thought it was someone else causing trouble behind the scenes; turns out it’s an old acquaintance!”
“Do you intend to start a fight right away, or catch up a bit first?”
As his voice fell, a burly man stepped forward.
Seeing the burly man, Chen Changsheng grinned widely.
“Hahaha!”
“I never expected you to end up in the Ancient Forbidden Ground; this is quite a surprise.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng introduced Su Wan’er, “Wan’er, let me introduce you; this is the once notable prodigy from the Southern Plain, Batu Lu.”
“He was once a match for the Emperor Huangtian, but unfortunately, he was defeated by the Emperor’s subordinates.”
Hearing this, Batu Lu shook his head with a smile, “Brother Chen, please don’t mock me.”
“To the Emperor Huangtian, I am just an insignificant character.”
“When compared to Brother Chen, I am nothing.”
Looking at Batu Lu, Chen Changsheng said, “I thought those causing trouble behind the scenes were either the unlucky or from the Sacred Forbidden Ground; I never expected it to be you.”
In response, Batu Lu replied, “The master of the Sacred Ruins was slain by the Sword God and was subsequently exiled into Chaos by you.”
“With such heavy injuries, they won’t be coming out anytime soon.”
“Moreover, in these past thousands of years, with such major movements, the unlucky wouldn’t dare show up.”
“You make a valid point, so what do you plan to do next?”
“Naturally, we will determine things through our own might.”
“Sounds good,” Chen Changsheng nodded, “Find a suitable opponent for this little girl to train her.”
In light of Chen Changsheng’s request, Batu Lu assessed Su Wan’er and casually summoned a coffin.
“Bang!”
The coffin lid opened, and a young man emerged from within.
Upon seeing this, Su Wan’er wielded her broken sword, Stunning Swan, and engaged in battle with him.
Watching their duel, Batu Lu remarked, “They are reminiscent of our former selves.”
“Indeed, reminiscent.”
“Among those from back then, how many are still alive now?”
“You ended up in the Ancient Forbidden Ground; Mei Yongsi has encountered misfortune, Gongsun Huaiyu has become the leader of the Tiger Cavalry, Ziling has become the leader of the Shadows, and Nalan Fuyao’s whereabouts are unknown.”
“Besides you few, everyone else is dead.”
“One by one, names rolled off Chen Changsheng’s tongue, as the past surfaced in their minds.”
