That young man with an arrogant expression was the Qing Mang the old man had spoken of.
He was equally unconvinced by Luo Chen.
Why should Luo Wuji be famous throughout the world at such a young age?
He did not believe he was inferior to Luo Wuji in any way. At least he came from an orthodox cultivation sect, had divine arts protecting his body, and possessed the rare Dragon Scale Arm.
This arm was something he had obtained by chance. Legend had it that this Dragon Scale Arm had once belonged to the notorious mass murderer of the Qin Dynasty, the God of Slaughter Bai Qi.
After the God of Slaughter Bai Qi died, the Dragon Scale Arm was removed and constantly changed owners. Now it had come into his hands.
These two great supports gave Qing Mang tremendous confidence.
“Hmph, what Luo Wuji?” Qing Mang’s eyes carried disdain as he looked at his junior brother Qing Feng.
“I followed my master in cultivation from the age of three. Now I have already cultivated to the Awakening realm. With the Dragon Scale Arm’s enhancement, I am already at the third layer of Awakening. If I emerge into the world, who in this world would dare speak the name Luo Wuji again?” As soon as Qing Mang’s words fell, he casually grabbed at the distant sea of clouds.
Instantly, the sea of clouds churned. The vast sea of clouds seemed to be caught in his Dragon Scale Arm.
“A mere secular wandering cultivator, worth mentioning?” Qing Mang’s entire body radiated surging confidence.
“Master, Senior Brother, I can only say that Luo Wuji must have already been someone at the Awakening realm long ago.” Qing Feng advised from the side. He had witnessed Luo Chen’s methods, so he was quite certain.
“Hehe, Junior Brother, that is pure nonsense. Without a great opportunity, without a peerless divine seed, who could achieve the Awakening realm?” Qing Mang dismissed these words upon hearing them.
Because if not for the legendary Dragon Scale Arm, he would not have stepped into the Awakening realm now.
Moreover, because the God of Slaughter Bai Qi had once obtained this Dragon Scale Arm, and after a thousand years of changing owners, this Dragon Scale Arm already possessed cultivation power that could directly raise its master’s cultivation to the third layer of Awakening. Otherwise, Qing Mang would absolutely not have cultivation at the third layer of Awakening.
And how old was that Luo Wuji?
Moreover, he was just a wandering cultivator from the secular world.
This was absolutely a joke born from rumour and exaggeration. If he emerged into the world, who in the entire country would still dare say Luo Wuji was supreme in China?
That was nothing but a joke.
“But…”
“No buts. Qing Mang, go prepare. I want to see who dares claim supremacy in China.” The old Taoist sneered, carrying disdain.
“Truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth. In China where hidden dragons and crouching tigers abound, who dares claim themselves invincible?” The old Taoist flicked his robe and left.
Qing Mang also followed and left. Only Qing Feng sighed, looked at the tourists coming up the mountain, and silently went over to guide them.
Their Qingcheng lineage had originally been reclusive and hidden from the world. If they truly went to war with Luo Wuji, it would probably bring catastrophic trouble.
Naturally, Luo Chen knew nothing of all this. He had originally thought that after one battle he could deter the petty villains, but he had not expected to provoke even more trouble.
At this moment, Luo Chen was sitting in an especially elegant seaside teahouse in Qinhuangdao.
This teahouse was originally only accessible to some major figures in Qinhuangdao.
But today, when the owner saw it was Luo Chen and the Death Goddess, the entire teahouse was cleared out.
Are you kidding? The person before them was someone who had just killed several enormously important figures by the seaside.
In the best private room, facing the sea, but unfortunately no spring flowers were blooming.
Luo Chen reclined on the sofa, somewhat at ease.
The Death Goddess had now removed her gauze, revealing her long, fair legs, and was personally brewing tea.
If an outsider were present, they would probably be especially astonished. The Death Goddess, an international titan, actually personally pouring tea. Even if she poured tea, who would dare drink it?
Probably only Luo Chen could enjoy this kind of treatment.
Luo Chen was also surprised. Looking at the Death Goddess Diana’s skilled technique, it seemed she often brewed tea herself on ordinary days.
Seeing Luo Chen slightly surprised, the Death Goddess Diana handed Luo Chen a cup of tea and slowly explained.
“I am quite interested in Chinese culture, so I have always been studying it.”
Luo Chen took the tea and gently sipped it. The top-grade Tieguanyin still carried a faint scent of perfume, clearly Diana’s.
One had to admit, although Diana’s fierce reputation spread far and wide, and she was a famous major figure even internationally, when facing Luo Chen, she was still somewhat nervous.
Because this man before her was too extraordinarily heroic and remarkable. That dragon-slaying battle had truly been like a god descending to the mortal world.
“Speak. You know what I am talking about.” Luo Chen did not beat around the bush and directly spoke.
Diana knew perfectly well that Luo Chen wanted to ask about the Horror Game.
“Actually, the reason I came this time was also because I obtained some clues.” Diana slowly spoke. Before Luo Chen, she dared not conceal anything.
In fact, the Death Goddess had wanted to investigate the Terracotta Warriors this time.
It was just that her identity was too sensitive, and she would be watched wherever she went.
She had originally wanted Zhou Qiankun to handle matters on her behalf, which was why she had agreed to Zhou Qiankun’s request to help kill someone.
But Diana had never expected that the person to be killed was actually Luo Chen, the Dragon Slayer whose fame shook the West.
So upon seeing it was Luo Chen, Diana immediately cowered.
“What I know is that this Horror Game seems to have some connection with China, but it is not limited to China.” Diana spoke.
“How so?” Luo Chen was quite interested in that Horror Game, because something he wanted might possibly conflict with the other party.
But he could not be certain yet.
However, since the Horror Game could even toss out the supreme technique of the Vajra Glass Body, its origins were clearly enormous.
After thinking it through, Luo Chen truly could not figure out which ancient tradition on present-day Earth had such great capability.
“Mr. Luo, you must have heard of the First Emperor?” Diana replied.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng.
He was the first person in Chinese history to declare himself emperor, known as the Ancestral Dragon.
He was even called the emperor of a thousand years by later generations.
Unfortunately, in his old age, he pursued the immortal path, seeking longevity, and died during his eastern tour.
“His death was actually quite suspicious.” Diana spoke.
Indeed, records stated that Ying Zheng died of illness inside a carriage at that time.
There were also records stating that he was conspired to death by Li Si and Zhao Gao.
But these accounts actually could not withstand scrutiny. After all, with Ying Zheng’s methods, someone capable of ruling the realm and destroying the six states, how could he be killed by Zhao Gao and Li Si?
As for dying of illness, that was even more unlikely. After all, there were still some cultivation practitioners in the world at that time. The entire realm was his. It was impossible that Ying Zheng did not have one or two pills to prolong life.
“The First Emperor and Alexander the Great seem to have lived in roughly the same era.”
“And that great emperor who conquered half the Earth, his death was also quite suspicious.” Diana slowly spoke.
Indeed, that Alexander the Great was someone who had conquered half the Earth. In the end, it was said he died of illness, and he was only in his thirties.
This was clearly somewhat unreasonable. How could such a great figure of outstanding talent and bold vision die of illness?
Luo Chen’s brow suddenly twitched, thinking of a terrifying possibility.
“You mean, they were also players of this Horror Game?”
If this were true, then this so-called Horror Game, the waters ran terrifyingly deep.
It had existed since the Qin Dynasty era?
“In fact, it is far more terrifying than what Mr. Luo is thinking. This game affects the entire world. And Mr. Luo, you are now being targeted.”
