Chapter 845

Charging Back to the Old District

Jian Changsheng didn't understand. He only wanted to Defying Fate, to make himself no longer so unlucky. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did he still end up in such a situation in the end?

Chen Ling seemed to sense something and slightly turned his head to look beside him... Jian Changsheng's lips were tightly pursed together, his hands dripping with fresh blood, but he only silently lowered his head, remaining silent.

Chen Ling's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Just as he was about to speak, reinforcements from the Tower to Heaven flew over from all directions.

Chen Ling raised the [Seating of All Living Beings] and slapped it into the void once again!

Bang—!

The aggressive pursuers were immediately pressed onto the chairs, falling towards the ground one by one like rain. No matter how high their Rank was, they couldn't stir up the slightest wave at this moment.

The three of them stood in the sky above the Tianshu Domain, as if entering an uninhabited land;

"This..."

The surging anger of public resentment was extinguished by overwhelming power. For a time, fear once again climbed into everyone's hearts. Several timid ones had even started trembling.

"... Alright, let's leave quickly."

Sun Bumian glanced at the gradually panicking crowd below. Even after being scolded vehemently right to his face, he didn't have the slightest emotional change, pinching his Prayer Beads in one hand, calm and composed.

Jian Changsheng was pulled back to reality by this sentence. He couldn't help but turn his head to glance in the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Star Position. After a long silence, he nodded somewhat decadently, resigning to his fate:

"... Mm."

Perhaps, this was his fate.

The two took two steps forward, suddenly seeming to realize something, and simultaneously turned their heads to look at Chen Ling who was still standing in place.

"Hearts, what do you want to do?" Sun Bumian saw Chen Ling's eyes, acutely capturing something within them, and couldn't help but speak.

The blood-stained Great Crimson Theatrical Robe danced wildly in the wind, like a scarlet blazing fire, glaring and hideous;

Chen Ling brushed the sleeve of the Theatrical Robe and spoke calmly:

"I suddenly realized something."

"What?"

"We are the Dusk Society. In the eyes of the world, a Dusk Society that commits all kinds of evil and is devoid of conscience... Since that's the case, why should we flee so stifledly?"

Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng were simultaneously stunned, seemingly not understanding Chen Ling's meaning.

Chen Ling's slender knuckles toyed with that token of [Seating of All Living Beings]. His Great Crimson Theatrical Robe flew up, and those eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc:

"Our performance time still has a long way to go... Exiting the Stage just like this would be somewhat letting down our 'Audience'."

As his voice fell, he casually flicked his wrist!

A Bone-Stripping Knife pierced through the air, instantly penetrating the head of that public member who had just cursed "Are you even worthy". Scarlet fresh blood instantly spurted out, splashing all over the surrounding public!

After a brief sluggishness, several terrified screams resounded through the street!!

The residents of the Tianshu Domain had grown up in an environment of safety and order since childhood. Where had they ever seen a scene of a head exploding from a single knife strike? For a time, they were frightened into a panic, crazily crowding and fleeing in the direction away from Chen Ling's trio!

Their original hot blood and cohesion were thoroughly shattered after witnessing Chen Ling kill someone with their own eyes... These people, whose eyes were blinded by emotional brainwashing, finally realized one thing:

The Dusk Society really does kill people.

"Six of Hearts!! You actually killed an innocent civilian!!" A Tower to Heaven member pressed onto a seat roared angrily seeing this.

"In your eyes, isn't this what the Dusk Society should be like?"

Chen Ling looked down at the street and smiled slightly. His blood-stained cheeks looked like a demon under this smile,

"From now on, whoever curses one more word, I'll kill them... If the people of a whole street curse, I'll bathe this block in blood. You can watch with your own eyes whether I have this ability."

"You...!!"

The Tower to Heaven crowd glared with wide eyes, but were helpless.

But facts proved that after Chen Ling established his dominance with one knife, fundamentally no one dared to curse them for another half-sentence. Everyone was crazily fleeing in all directions amidst horrified cries, the scene descending into complete chaos.

A good person is bullied by others. Sometimes, Oppressive Aura and fear can solve many things...

Chen Ling didn't look at the chaotic public anymore, but turned around and walked towards the Old District.

"Hearts, where are you going?"

"Going back."

"Going back??"

Chen Ling turned to look at Jian Changsheng, speaking indifferently:

"Spades, that Heaven-Reaching Star Position, do you want it or not?"

Jian Changsheng froze for a moment, suddenly coming back to his senses, "I... of course I want it..."

"If you want it, I'll go snatch it for you!"

Chen Ling held a gun in one hand and the token in the other, a chilling cold light flashing in his eyes. "The Five Great Realms play so dirty... we have to make them pay some price."

[Audience Expectation Value +7]

[Current Expectation Value: 31%]

Jian Changsheng stared blankly at Chen Ling's departing back, as if dreaming...

It wasn't until Chen Ling walked far away that he came back to his senses. Gritting his teeth, he tightly clenched the blood-colored Long Sword in his hand, and rapidly ran to Chen Ling's side!

"You... why are you helping me?"

"It's me owing you." Chen Ling said indifferently. "You gave up the Heaven-Reaching Star Position and chose to go fight a bloody battle with Kongwang to save 'me'. Naturally, I must repay this favor... Although you saved the wrong person, I've remembered this intention."

Jian Changsheng looked at Chen Ling's profile, his heart incomparably complex.

"Diamonds, are you coming or not?" Chen Ling turned back to look at Sun Bumian who was still standing in place.

Sun Bumian looked at the two fighting their way back, his expression somewhat helpless...

He pondered for a long time, but still shook his head and stepped forward to catch up,

"Seeing as we're all of the 6 series, I'll give you guys a hand... But control the duration of the secret treasure well, don't play yourself into a corner."

A Theatrical Robe, a windbreaker, a Tang suit;

Stepping on the void, charging back to the Old District!

...

Dong—Dong—

In the Old District, the high-Rank Divine Path Possessors who were [Seated] were extremely anxious.

They continuously exerted force, trying to break free from the restraints of the chairs. But no matter whether they used brute strength or their Divine Pathways, they couldn't move a single bit, only able to make the seats beneath them creak and rattle.

"It's useless. Unless you wait for the power of the Path of the Actor dissipating in the air to be exhausted, it's almost impossible for anyone below a Demigod to break free."

The Master of the Babel Tower seemed to have already sensed the principle of this Dao Foundation divine treasure, shaking his head helplessly.

The several domain representatives on the side also didn't do any more useless work, but instead furrowed their brows tightly, staring straight in the direction Chen Ling and the others left.

"Then what do we do? Just let them escape like this??" A representative spoke in a deep voice.

The representatives remained silent.

One must know, public sentiment outside was currently indignant, and morale had reached its peak... If Chen Ling and the others ran away under the watchful eyes of the public, that would be slapping the faces of the Five Great Realms!
