The person who previously posted that the Tokugawa family had requested Luo Chen to leave at the cost of one hundred and fifty billion had remained silent. Coupled with Elder Jin speaking so solemnly, it caused everyone in the country to pay close attention to this matter, and most were guessing that Luo Chen was likely in grave danger. After all, a night had passed, yet there was no news. If the number one figure in Huaxia had truly perished in Dongying, that would absolutely be a major event shocking the entire country!
Throughout the previous night, many people had been eagerly awaiting news. It seemed that every time Luo Wuji went abroad, it would stir up massive waves domestically, just like the previous Qingmang incident! However, this time was different, as the danger to Luo Chen came from abroad, and specifically from Dongying! It seemed that Luo Chen’s demise in Dongying had become a foregone conclusion. Therefore, early in the morning, people took out their phones to check for updates again, waiting for the latest news.
“So much time has passed, and there is no news at all. I reckon Luo Wuji has already been killed by the Dongying siege!” someone posted as a guess, and it quickly received hundreds of thousands of likes in support. Elder Jin, Yang Fuyun, and others had also waited all night, and Elder Jin’s post had remained at the top of the list!
“Hmph, let him be arrogant. Does he think Dongying is Wolf King and will fight him one on one? I fear his corpse is already ice cold by now,” Elder Jin sneered.
“Elder Jin is right. Luo Wuji has absolutely perished, otherwise how could there be no movement at all from the Dongying side?” Yang Fuyun also spoke up.
The few of them were still gathered together on Mount Luofu.
“It is a pity that we cannot execute this boy with our own hands. It is truly regrettable!” a cultivator from Mount Emei said coldly.
He had also been threatened by Luo Wuji on the grasslands that day.
“It is indeed a pity, otherwise this old man would have personally stepped in to kill him for you!” Cang Songzi said arrogantly.
“It is just that Elder Jin is in a difficult spot this time,” a few of them said, naturally referring to the matter of Elder Jin’s post.
“Yes, if there is even the slightest accident in this matter, then Elder Jin will truly…”
“Oh, it does not matter. If this old man did not have absolute certainty, would he speak so recklessly?” Elder Jin smiled proudly, then scrolled through his phone while reading the comments.
However, as soon as these words left his mouth, Elder Jin’s expression changed instantly.
“Hehe, that is natural. Since Elder Jin dares to say so, it is naturally…”
“Elder Jin?”
“Elder Jin?” Yang Fuyun and the others looked at Jin Yande in confusion, because at this moment, Jin Yande’s face was deathly pale, and cold sweat was pouring from his forehead.
They were at the top of Mount Luofu, where the cool wind blew chillingly, so how could he be sweating?
“Clatter!” Elder Jin’s phone dropped to the floor.
Yang Fuyun immediately felt that something was wrong. He did not take out his own phone, but instead picked up Elder Jin’s phone. One look, and he was instantly stunned as well.
The person who had been silent all along had made a post, and it was a photograph. The photograph was somewhat blurry, likely captured from surveillance footage, but the details were clearly visible. Luo Wuji stood proudly at the airport, and kneeling before him were two people: one was an old man, and the other was Chiba Zhenxiong. There had been rumours previously that the ancestor of the Chiba family and Chiba Zhenxiong had knelt to apologise to Luo Wuji. But no one had believed it, and now the photograph had been posted.
This photograph instantly exploded across the internet.
“Are those really people from the Chiba family?”
“Did people from the Chiba family really kneel and apologise to Luo Wuji?”
The shockwave of this news had not yet subsided. The next message followed closely, like a massive bomb. It was an intermittent audio recording!
“What about your territory?”
“So what if I hit you?”
It was the voice of Luo Wuji! No one had managed to photograph Luo Chen before, but during the incident in Longdu that day, everyone had heard Luo Chen’s voice.
Then came the next segment!
“Mr Luo, this figure…”
“One hundred and fifty billion!”
“Good, good, I agree!”
There were only these two incomplete audio segments, and the background was somewhat noisy, likely also from the airport surveillance. However, these two audio segments directly set off a wave of fervour across the entire country! Because that was the domineering voice of Luo Wuji. What is domineering? This is it! Many people even listened with their blood boiling!
“Who the hell said Luo Wuji only dares to act tough domestically?”
“Who? Step forward and say it again if you have the guts!” Those supporting Luo Chen flooded the screen with messages!
“This is what a real man looks like, daring to speak like that in their own Dongying!”
“Everyone pay attention, did you hear the part about one hundred and fifty billion?”
Post after post exploded on the internet, reaching the top at the fastest speed possible!
“Who previously said my husband only dares to act tough at home?”
“Are you not so amazing? Why are you hiding behind your keyboards?”
“If you have the ability, try going to Dongying and saying this like my husband?”
“Hmph, a bunch of clowns. I think you are the ones who only dare to act tough domestically. Try being as arrogant as Luo Wuji if you have the ability?” someone mocked.
Previously, people kept saying what would happen if Luo Wuji went to Dongying, but now they were all completely silent. Furthermore, it did not take long for the Tokugawa family to voluntarily admit to the matter. The irrefutable proof had arrived. The Tokugawa family had truly given Luo Wuji one hundred and fifty billion!
This matter left many people in the country utterly shocked. Was Luo Wuji really this fierce?
“That is Dongying, after all?”
“And they just backed down in front of Luo Wuji like that?”
“Yes, how arrogant was that Chiba Zhenxiong on the grasslands back then? I saw it with my own eyes!”
“Hahaha, so many Dongying experts, and they were actually intimidated by just one person from our Huaxia?”
“Paying money to request Luo Wuji to leave? That is utterly disgraceful.”
“So they provoked Luo Wuji to go over there just to give him money?”
“To tell the truth, who else in this world has the domineering presence of Luo Wuji? I absolutely love that line, what about your territory, so what if I hit you?”
Countless posts exploded like bombs, turning the internet completely upside down. At this moment, Elder Jin felt cold from head to toe. Because that final audio segment had proven everything. Fortunately, at this time, everyone was discussing how domineering Luo Wuji was in Dongying. It seemed they had already forgotten about the matter concerning Elder Jin.
But what one fears most is exactly what happens. The person who had consistently spoken up for Luo Chen directly posted another thread.
“One of the representative figures of the Daoist school, it is time to fulfil your promise.”
This was a massive deal. Everyone’s attention had originally been elsewhere, discussing how domineering Luo Wuji was. But as soon as this post appeared, it caused a huge uproar. Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn to it.
“That is right, did not that man named Jin Yande say before that if the Dongying side gave Luo Wuji even a single yuan, he would cut off his own head and kick it like a ball?”
