Chapter 2496: Chapter 2497: A Tremor Across the World

Lin Chen is about to head to Qinglan Sect alone, causing a massive uproar across the entire continent.

Back then, Lin Chen, relying solely on his strength and at such a young age, had defeated the Three Supreme Elders and also triumphed over the Tianshan Elder, drawing much attention from everyone.

Now, all the orthodox figures see this young man as a heretic and have united, determined to eliminate him.

This matter cannot help but attract high attention from others; it is simply impossible.

Moreover, many believe that this time, he is surely facing a dead end since the orthodox figures are joining forces, defeating such a young man seems both reasonable and easy.

The most crucial detail is that it is said all the orthodox figures have an ace up their sleeves.

It is none other than Wang Zun.

Wang Zun is exceedingly rare in this world, especially one who is not yet twenty years old, making it even more astonishing.

Many people even think such a thing is impossible, but after thorough verification, they find the reality is indeed so.

Lin Chen galloped tirelessly along his journey, but upon reaching the foothills of Qinglan Sect’s mountain, he abruptly stopped, knowing he couldn’t proceed so openly.

Lin Chen, though not afraid of these people, chose to be cautious. He used a veil to cover his face, feeling somewhat weary now, and saw an eatery not far ahead, so he went in, ordered a pot of wine, and three pounds of beef.

The inn was filled with many people from the martial world, all discussing this matter, as it was enough to cause a sensation across the continent.

"It seems today is the agreed date, right folks? You must also be heading up the mountain to watch the show," the Shopkeeper said while attending to all the customers and speaking to those wielding swords.

These people weren’t from the big sects in the martial world, merely individuals from various walks of life, carrying weapons and prepared to go up the mountain to watch the spectacle.

"Of course, this fellow, so wicked, is someone all orthodox figures should eliminate. Now that there are efforts to deal with him, our hearts are naturally invigorated," said the man with a pockmarked face, Zhang Mazzi, known as the Black-robed Divine Sword.

Lin Chen wasn’t concerned about the world’s opinion of him, only curious why he had become an entity everyone wanted to eliminate in their hearts.

If he really had committed heinous acts, that might be understandable, but he hadn’t done anything—so why was he spoken of this way?

"I also said this guy injured the Three Supreme Elders, not to mention defeating the two Tianshan Elders," said the peerless blade master.

"Even the Black-robed Divine Sword and the peerless blade master came over this time, then surely this guy stands no chance of survival," said the Shopkeeper.

Lin Fang felt rather disgusted hearing the sycophantic tone of the person next to him; did he really think these two guys could stop him?

"We can’t say that for sure; although the two of us have some minor fame in the martial world, our abilities fall short of Wang Zun’s realm," said the peerless blade master.

Even if the orthodox sects didn’t have Wang Zun, they would remain perfectly confident because the leaders of the three major sects were there—who would dare act recklessly?

The fundamental reason why people still choose to watch the spectacle is only one.

Many want to see what this youthful Wang Zun is really like, and how formidable he truly is.

Lin Chen, sitting to the side, took a sip of wine, then slowly turned around to observe the so-called peerless blade master and Black-robed Divine Sword before him.

"Is being Wang Zun really so impressive? I think Wang Zun is nothing more," Lin Chen said calmly.

These words struck a chord among the surrounding persons, provoking them to stand and glance at the young man by the side with blazing anger in their eyes.

"Judging by your tone, you seem to think Wang Zun is nothing more, meaning you are confident of victory over Wang Zun," said the peerless blade master.

"Indeed, those words were mine. If it really comes to confronting Wang Zun, he’ll probably have no choice but to submit to my punishment."

Those remarks by Lin Chen brought much amusement to the person next to him.

The peerless blade master drew his weapon, strapped it to his back, and slowly walked toward Lin Chen.

"I, the peerless blade master, have wandered the world for so many years and never seen such arrogance; it seems I need to show you some skill today."

Lin Chen, hearing the peerless blade master before him, exhibited a relatively calm demeanor.

"So you think defeating me is easy, huh?" Lin Chen said proudly.

The peerless blade master laughed heartily upon hearing this, his eyes filled with unprecedented disdain; defeating Lin Chen appeared trivially easy to him.

"I’ll tell you, it’ll be quite an easy task. Are you ready to face defeat?"

Though Lin Chen admired the courage of the peerless blade master before him, it’s a pity that he is the one dealing with Lin Chen this time.

"If you are so confident in your strength, then by all means, come at me; today, I’ll see how powerful you truly are."

Lin Chen didn’t intentionally mock the person before him, just felt him defeating Lin Chen was simply impossible.

The Shopkeeper and inn attendants observed Lin Chen, considering him a madman for daring to challenge the legendary peerless blade master.

"You brat are oblivious to the danger; today I’ll assist you on your way."

After uttering these words, the peerless blade master tightly gripped his weapon, sprinted fiercely toward Lin Chen, his speed and strength astonishing.

Lin Chen remained composed as ever in response to this scene.

Many turned their heads away, unwilling to watch what would happen next, believing the peerless blade master would undoubtedly render Lin Chen into mince.

Lin Chen remained unflustered.
