I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1401 - 684: I’m... Quitting Officialdom!
Capítulo 1401: Chapter 684: I’m… Quitting Officialdom!
“At this moment, it would be a shame not to put on a show.”
It’s not that Chen Yuan was being pretentious, but he truly felt it would be a waste not to seize the opportunity to show off a bit.
Under the watchful eyes of all, amidst the attention of thousands.
Here were hundreds of thousands of residents from the Capital and surrounding areas, nearly a hundred thousand Jianghu Martial Artists, and possibly countless Supreme List peerless experts hidden within.
There were civil and military officials, royal relatives, and even hundreds of thousands of the Forbidden Army.
Today was the day Jingtai offered sacrifices to heaven to ascend as the Human Emperor, destined to cause a massive storm across the land; when else but now could one strive for reputation?
Jingtai must be killed, his Qi Fortune, and the blood feud on him, all need avenging.
At the same time, this rebellion, he must wage, having made extensive preparations, one could say everything was ready, only waiting for the eastern wind to blow!
Originally, Chen Yuan also thought to lie low, store food, build high walls, and claim kingship later, letting others fight and take the lead.
But… maybe he floated after growing stronger.
Perhaps the power gathered around him was too great, no longer as cautious as before.
Maybe he had stooped low under Jingtai for too long, unable to resist smashing his illusions at this most critical moment today.
More likely, Chen Yuan did not want to miss this excellent opportunity.
In short, he was… tempted!
Since action was inevitable today, since this battle was to go down in history and astound countless unknowns, why not… make it even grander?
Chen Yuan had always been cautious, seeming reckless, but mostly acting with confidence, and this time… this time… was no exception.
Several True Monarchs at his side, Sixth Realm Immortals present.
What does he have to fear?
Moreover, it wasn’t just Chen Yuan; he could sense the aura of surrounding Martial Artists shifting as well, with some eager to take this lead. Is Chen Yuan a person to give way?
No,
So, he was tempted!
Jiang He narrowed his eyes, giving Chen Yuan a deep look, and nodded tersely:
“Put on a show.”
And beside him, Shushan Sect Leader Ling Xu and Taixu Palace Sect Leader Tianxu seemed startled, apparently not expecting his audacity.
But seeing Chen Yuan already prepared, they hesitated for a moment and chose not to speak.
At Purple Gold Mountain’s peak, Jingtai, with deep eyes, overlooked the tens of thousands of Jianghu Martial Artists below, continuing:
“Why… does no one dare step forward?”
“If you dare not, then stand below and watch obediently as I ascend as the Human Emperor and bring everlasting peace to the Great Jin’s millions.”
“You… what qualification do you have!”
Jingtai’s words had scarcely fallen when a questioning voice resounded between heaven and earth, infused with Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, clearly heard over a radius of dozens of miles.
Of course, the main reason was the surrounding silence; when Jingtai uttered those words, though the Jianghu Martial Artists were somewhat agitated,
no one had yet stepped forward.
This created a moment of vacuum, at which point Chen Yuan spoke.
Yes, the one who spoke was Chen Yuan.
The eyes of those civil and military nobles, royal family powers, concubines, and others in front turned back, seemingly curious as to who dared show such courage.
Even the residents at the back of the Capital were tiptoeing, trying to see.
As for the Jianghu Martial Artists around, they made a vacuum space around Chen Yuan on one side, while their eyes showed suspicion and admiration on the other.
Truly a brave man!
Many present had denounced Jingtai and talked of rebellion, yet in this time, place, and situation, those who dared step forward seemed… indeed absent!
At the peak of Purple Gold Mountain, Jingtai’s pupils contracted sharply, feeling the voice was… quite familiar.
Chen Yuan did not give him too long to think; after the Jianghu Martial Artists around made a vacuum space of several feet, he moved, not silently,
but in grand style.
He stepped into the void, light flowing from his feet, radiance dazzlingly highlighting his upright black-clad figure.
“Chen… Chen Yuan!”
“Martial Protector Marquis Chen Yuan!”
“Is it him?!”
“How could he….”
“This is….”
Chen Yuan never masked his appearance, although he had used some means to be less conspicuous in the crowd before; now, before a million people,
he naturally did not intend to conceal himself.
His reputation was naturally very great, though his true body’s cultivation hadn’t reached the Yang God level or ascended the Heavenly List, yet he had done so many things over these years.
Every move shook the Jianghu and the world.
Many knew of him.
Now, naturally, people would recognize him.
Chen Yuan stood out, one step after another, hands clasped behind as he went toward Purple Gold Mountain’s peak, below Gu Tianqiong furrowing his brow, a flash of killing intent, sternly saying:
“How dare you act presumptuously!”
Zhang Yantong’s eyes flickered, sighing lightly.
He was well aware of his daughter’s secret departure from the Capital, finding out Chen Yuan’s intentions too late after her return.
Yang Noble Consort, Sima Ke, Sima You, Princess Pingyang, several Divine Envoys from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, Xiao Jing, Zuo Tiancheng, Wu Tianxi, Li Kuangxiu, Li Hongshuang….
