Chapter 2899: Targeted by Everyone
Apart from the Heavenly Crane clan and the Hao family, there were many other prodigies on good terms with Jian Chen, such as those from the Empirelotus Sword sect, the Hundred Battle clan, the Scarlet Light clan, and so on. They all spoke up for Jian Chen.
But without any exception, everyone received the same reply from their seniors.
The grievances with the five organisations were easier to deal with. If these organisations banded together and spoke up, offering some compensation to the five organisations, it was not impossible for them to pacify their anger.
However, if it involved fifty-two organisations, even including the Heavenly Lightning clan that had the backing of an archaean clan, then they would be powerless.
Even the Hao family would be no different.
The Hao family was indirectly connected to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng through their Yan Ancestor, so if they insisted on standing forward, the Hao family could indeed overwhelm everyone. The fifty-two organisations definitely would not completely fall out with the Hao family over some measly divine crystals and from being slightly humiliated.
However, Yang Yutian was clearly still not enough for the Hao family to pay such a great price for him.
After Yang Yutian had been identified, the faces of the five great elders immediately coldened. Their eyes shone with heavy killing intent.
“Yang Yutian, you’ve finally emerged from in there. You’ve killed the most outstanding juniors of our five organisations, so what do you have to say for yourself?” the great elder of the Gong family barked.
“Yang Yutian, confess with honesty just what clan or sect you come from…” the great elder of the Yuqiong sect said. He refused to believe that someone as monstrously talented as him would be backgroundless.
“Yang Yutian, was the fifth hall master of the Darkstar race impersonated by you…” the great elder of the Jade Pill sect bellowed furiously. He blacked with anger as his presence surged.
“Why must we waste so many words on him? We’ll know if he’s the fifth hall master or not the moment we test him,” a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime elder of the Heavenly Lightning clan said. After saying that, he actually attacked Jian Chen. Dressed in low quality god artifact armour, he arrived before Jian Chen with a flash. The power of lightning flickered in his hand as he directly reached for Jian Chen’s throat.
The moment he struck out, the elder raised his guard carefully, as he was unable to see through Yang Yutian’s cultivation at all. In order to prevent himself from accidentally killing Yang Yutian in case the Scion of Five Point’s theory was wrong, he was very careful with his attack.
At the same time, he made preparations to suddenly erupt with battle prowess on par with Chaotic Primes if Yang Yutian really were the fifth hall master.
With his cultivation at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime, combined with his god artifact armour, he was confident enough to face a newly-broken-through Chaotic Prime. Even if he would not be their opponent, he could easily withstand a few strikes.
When the elder of the Heavenly Lightning clan took action, the Chaotic Primes present all could not help but squint. Their eyes shone with cold light. They even secretly sealed up the space there to prevent Jian Chen from escaping.
He Qianqian was on the edge of her seat, extremely worried for Jian Chen. Her eyes shone with an indescribably mixed light as she stared straight at Jian Chen.
She knew the elder of the Heavenly Lightning clan that had taken action. He was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime elder, only a step away from Chaotic Prime.
Subconsciously, He Qianqian still treated Jian Chen as the independent cultivator who was only a Godking in her memories.
With such a cultivation, even the supreme Godking who ranked first on the Godkings’ Throne would be as insignificant as an ant before a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.
However, she also recalled the Scion of Five Point’s theory and analysis, which made her rather eager to find out about Yang Yutian’s true identity.
If Yang Yutian really was the fifth hall master and possessed the strength to take on the Darkstar Emperor, then the attack from the elder of the Heavenly Lightning clan would obviously pose no threat to him.
But if that were the case, then the people that Yang Yutian had offended would not only be the five clans. There would be the fifty-two peak organisations too. He would have so many enemies that even He Qianqian, an outstanding woman from the Heavenly Crane clan who personally believed she had seen many things, would shiver.
As a result, He Qianqian felt extremely conflicted right now.
Boom!
At this moment, a great rumble suddenly rang out. Faced with the elder of the Heavenly Lightning clan’s incoming chokehold, Jian Chen threw a punch without the slightest hesitation. He pushed the physical strength of the Chaotic Body to the limit as Chaotic Force raged through his body. His punch tore through the air, and he shattered the space around him through physical strength alone.
The Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime elder of the Heavenly Lightning clan staggered backwards from Jian Chen’s punch. His eyes immediately became filled with shock.
All the Chaotic Primes gathered in the surroundings narrowed their eyes in that moment too. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
Before, all of the rumours about Yang Yutian’s identity could only be regarded as the Scion of Five Point’s side of the story. Actually, many experts present were still doubtful and uncertain about what the Scion of Five Point had said.
But now, with the Heavenly Lightning clan elder’s probing, they had personally witnessed Jian Chen’s strength. The Chaotic Primes were finally completely convinced of the reality that Yang Yutan was the fifth hall master.
His strength was the best evidence!
“Yang Yutian, you really are the fifth hall master…”
“Yang Yutian, you impersonated the fifth hall master in the World of the Fallen Beast and played tricks on me. Do you really think you can manipulate me as you wish…”
“Yang Yutian, you actually deceived so many organisations. You really are sick of living…”
“Your crazy deed of obstructing the Darkstar race’s great ceremony has indirectly caused the deaths of all of my sect’s disciples…”
......
…
Immediately, the surroundings of the passageway exploded into an uproar. Not only did the great elders of the fifty-two organisations of the Hundred Saint City growl sternly, but even many organisations that were not a part of the Hundred Saint City but also had many disciples and descendants active in the Darkstar World placed all of the blame on Jian Chen.
Among them, the Heavenly Lightning clan and the Jade Pill sect that had sustained the most severe losses even demonstrated undisguised killing intent.
In order to fulfil the fifth hall master’s request, the lengths that the two organisations had gone to were far, far too great. The Grand Prime ancestors of both organisations had personally set out and taken action because of this.
The five great elders from the Chu family, Zhou family, Gong family, Yuqiong sect, and Cangqiong clan erupted with might, forming a crushing pressure that enveloped Jian Chen.
He Qianchi gazed at Jian Chen with mixed emotions and sighed gently. He communicated to He Qianqian, “It’s troublesome now. He really is the fifth hall master. Our Heavenly Crane clan won’t be able to help him.”
He Qianqian said nothing. She only stared at Yang Yutian’s familiar face with her gaze filled with mixed emotions as her heart stirred violently.
“Brother Yang Yutian r- really actually is the fifth hall master. He has deceived us good…” Hao Ran and Hao Chen both smiled bitterly. They both recalled how the fifth hall master had coldly and mercilessly shut them down when he personally chose fifty organisations to protect back then in the Pantheon Divine Hall.
However, the brothers felt no anger over this. Instead, they felt a hint of warmth, as they understood that Yang Yutian had chased them out to save them.
“Yang Yutian right now still isn’t a Chaotic Prime, but he didn’t use his full strength either when he fought back. If he fights with his full strength, perhaps he really might have battle prowess on par with Chaotic Primes. This person truly is an unprecedented, monstrous genius. He’s actually cultivated to such a point in just one thousand short years…” The great elder of the Hao family, Hao Wanqing, sighed in amazement from the bottom of his heart.
“Great elder, is there really nothing we can do?” Hao Chen asked again, rather reluctant to give up.
“You’ve both seen it. So many organisations are targeting Yang Yutian now. For something like this, unless the Yan Ancestor personally presides over the matter…” Hao Wanqing sighed.
