At the peak of Thousand Autumn Mountain.
Fang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking domineering.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two silhouettes came one after another.
They glared at Fang Chen. "Brat, you cheated."
The one who spoke was Mo Yun. He did not believe that a rogue cultivator could surpass him.
If Li Shaoqiu had gotten first place in the selection, he would not have said anything.
However, he was indignant that Fang Chen had gotten first place.
In the end …
It was because Fang Chen had not displayed unparalleled strength.
If he could suppress everyone, Mo Yun would naturally have nothing to say.
As the envoy applauded, the other onlookers also applauded.
They were extremely envious. Lin Chen's performance was too outstanding.
Some even suspected that Lin Chen might have gotten the inheritance from the nine years of snow in Thousand Autumn City.
Of course, there was no evidence and it was only a guess.
The envoy narrowed his eyes and felt that Lin Chen was more to his liking.
"Haha, this trip was not in vain."
The envoy laughed heartily.
He raised his head and looked at Fang Chen. He felt that there was a layer of mystery around the latter.
He did not expect that a rogue cultivator would be able to suppress Li Shaoqiu and Mo Yun and get first place in the Thousand Autumn Mountain selection.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon, the top twenty were all selected and the rest were dejected.
In particular, the two who were ranked 21st and 22nd were filled with anger towards Fang Chen.
They had once argued with Lin Chen, but that was because they looked down on the latter.
They did not expect Lin Chen to reach such a level in such a short period of time.
"What a lucky bastard. He must have obtained a profound movement technique."
"Hmph, if I had that movement technique, I would definitely be in the top twenty."
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became.
If Lin Chen had not appeared out of nowhere, the two of them would have had the highest chance of entering the top twenty.
"Hmph, I won't let this matter rest if you cut off my cultivation path."
The two of them snorted and left Thousand Autumn Mountain.
Not long after.
The twenty people came to the square and the envoy gave each of them a token.
The black token had the word "Xiao" written on the front, which was Xiaoyao Hou's surname. On the back was a fiery-red lion.
It was said that Xiaoyao Hou's mount was this fiery red lion.
Moreover, this mount had become the Carefree Mansion's Guardian Divine Beast.
Finally, the emissary's gaze fell on Fang Chen.
"Your name is Lin Chen?"
The emissary asked.
Fang Chen nodded and didn't say anything else.
"The Demon Devouring Bloodline in your body has yet to be fully activated. It is not easy for you to have such a performance."
The emissary continued.
"But don't worry. When you reach the Carefree Palace, there will be experts who will help you activate your Demon Devouring Bloodline."
As he spoke, the emissary took out a golden token and handed it to Lin Chen.
Seeing this, the expressions of the others changed drastically.
The black token represented the identity of an ordinary disciple of the Carefree Mansion.
As for the golden token, it represented the target of attention.
Moreover, in order to be promoted to a Guest of Carefree Mansion, one must possess a Gold Token.
Before joining the Carefree Mansion, they were already inferior to Fang Chen. Naturally, they were not convinced.
"Lord Envoy."
The one who spoke was Mo Yun.
With a look of dissatisfaction, he said bluntly, "Lin Chen was the first to reach the peak of the Thousand Autumn Mountain with his movement technique. I, Mo Yun, am not convinced that you gave him a Gold Token."
"I, Li Shaoqiu, am not convinced either."
The others voiced out their dissatisfaction.
If only one or two of them were not convinced, the emissary naturally wouldn't care.
But now, the other nineteen people were not convinced.
The emissary glanced at Fang Chen. Just as he was about to speak, the latter spoke first.
"What do you want?"
"Hmph, fight with me. If you can defeat me, no, if you can withstand ten moves from me, I will admit your ability," Mo Yun said coldly.
The onlookers were deep in thought.
Everyone knew that Lin Chen was a rogue cultivator. In terms of cultivation techniques and resources, he was definitely not as good as Mo Yun.
But now, Mo Yun wanted to use these advantages to humiliate Fang Chen.
"Ten moves?"
Fang Chen laughed.
Kind people were often bullied. It seemed that there were bullies everywhere.
Since that was the case, he would beat them until they were terrified.
"Sure."
Fang Chen agreed.
Mo Yun looked at the emissary and the latter nodded.
"In that case, let's have a spar."
The emissary drew a circle in the square with his palm.
"You guys can spar in this circle. Whoever leaves the circle first will lose."
Fang Chen stepped into the circle.
Mo Yun snorted coldly and stood in front of him.
"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance."
Mo Yun said.
In his opinion, it was fine to let Lin Chen have ten moves.
"It's too troublesome."
Fang Chen shook his head.
He didn't want to waste time.
If everyone wanted to challenge him, wouldn't he be exhausted?
Moreover, that wouldn't have a deterrent effect.
Moreover, if he wanted to get in touch with the core of the Devouring Demons Clan as soon as possible, he had to display heaven-defying talent to attract the attention of the higher-ups.
"What do you mean?"
Mo Yun berated.
Fang Chen pointed at Li Shaoqiu.
"Both of you, come at me together."
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned.
Even the emissary was stunned.
He looked at Fang Chen in shock, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
"What kind of joke is this?
Lin Chen wants to fight two people at once? "
"Hmph, does he really think that he's invincible after getting first place in the selection?"
"He's too arrogant."
Many people thought that Lin Chen was too arrogant.
Even the emissary shook his head slightly, a look of disappointment in his eyes.
He was too arrogant. Such a person wouldn't be able to go far on the path of cultivation.
However, he didn't interrupt the spar.
"Are you insulting me?"
Mo Yun glared.
If he and Li Shaoqiu teamed up, they could even fight against a Saint Emperor. What was Lin Chen to them?
What right did he have to make them team up?
Li Shaoqiu's face darkened as he clenched his fists. One could imagine the anger in his heart.
"Young people nowadays are too arrogant."
Patriarch Mo smiled while stroking his beard.
"Yeah, they think that they're invincible just because they're proud."
Patriarch Li shook his head.
They secretly observed the emissary's expression and realized that the latter was unhappy.
They were secretly delighted.
If Lin Chen was defeated in this battle …
If that was the case, his future would be ruined.
"Insulting you?"
Fang Chen was sleepy. "I'm giving you a chance."
"You're courting death."
Mo Yun attacked.
He stomped his foot and instantly came to Fang Chen's side.
His angry attack went straight for Fang Chen's head.
This attack was filled with killing intent.
"Get lost."
Fang Chen didn't move, allowing Mo Yun's attack to get close.
Seeing that it was about to hit Fang Chen's head, Mo Yun was secretly delighted.
However, at this moment …
All of a sudden, he felt a terrifying power that blotted out the sky and covered the earth coming straight at him.
He subconsciously changed the trajectory of his fist, wanting to block it.
However!
Boom!
A deafening sound rang out.
Out of everyone's expectations, Mo Yun was directly sent flying.
Bang!
There were signs of cracks on the ground. Mo Yun's throat moved as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You … deserve to die."
Mo Yun bared his teeth.
