Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 586 - 431

"Today, there shouldn't be anyone challenging Alliance Hierarch Hong, right?" Chen Hao suddenly asked.

"Hard to say. Those barbarians from the Golden Families of the Northern Region, for example, are quite annoying," Li Qiyuan replied irritably.

Their concerns were not unfounded. At this very moment, Hong Yuan had already received a challenge letter.

「Rainbow Fire Peak, Peak Master Great Hall.」

Hong Yuan sat in the main seat, listening to Ye Zhuyin read the challenge letter.

"Commonly known as the number one ordinary person of the Sect Alliance, I, Hei Wentian..."

Hei Wentian was a formidable figure from the Hei Family among the Golden Families of the Northern Region. Although he was not the heir to the Family Head of the Hei Family, his strength was still extremely strong. He had a record of single-handedly annihilating large tribes.

Now, as Ye Zhuyin continued to read the challenge letter, the expression on her face grew increasingly solemn.

Only after a short while, another snow-white pigeon broke into the Peak Master Great Hall, delivering a letter.

"Zhu Yin, read this one first," Hong Yuan said calmly.

The passage of time had not left any traces on Hong Yuan. His appearance was still as resolute as when he first entered Lin Daoyan's tutelage. Only, his pair of eyes had become as deep and unfathomable as the Nine Nether Abyss.

"Mm."

Ye Zhuyin obediently nodded, bending over to pick up the bamboo cylinder. She shook it, and a rolled-up Golden Book fell out.

Streams of blue True Essence flowed from Ye Zhuyin's hands, swiftly refining the Golden Book and perceiving the Information Tao intelligence within.

In that moment, her pupils suddenly contracted, her face brimming with joy.

Ye Zhuyin exclaimed excitedly, "That Hei Wentian is dead, killed by Lin Bu Jing!"

Hong Yuan chuckled, not particularly surprised.

Under the current system's oppressive binding and Hong Yuan's formidable strength, Lin Bu Jing, whether he liked it or not, had become one of Hong Yuan's subordinates. Lin Bu Jing also had extraordinary potential. As long as he fused with one more Strange Fire, his strength would improve further. His "Ten Thousand Fires Burn the Sky" Divine Power was terrifying. With a little cultivation, Lin Bu Jing could become a powerful immediate fighting force. Naturally, Hong Yuan would not easily let go of this chess piece.

"Not only that, but in the Jin State region, Long Zhandu is also on the verge of being completely retaken!" Ye Zhuyin's voice became noticeably higher, filled with a joy that spread to those who heard it.

Hong Yuan nodded slightly and said no more. As the number one ordinary person, I should have the stature and treatment that comes with it, he mused. Challenges from mere riffraff don't require me to act personally. My opponents have always been those nine Great Dream Seeds. I can stand my ground against Tang Tianlong, Shi Xiangmin, and the other Great Dream Seeds. But against Hua Menghuang, Xiao Yuan, and Shang Yaoqin—those three Great Dream Seeds—I must lose. In any case, I need to exit the stage appropriately, return the stage of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent to the Great Dream Seeds. That way, I won't attract undue attention from the Human Clan Sky Palace.

Hong Yuan continued to ponder these matters silently.

In fact, he had never desired the title of number one ordinary person; it was pushed upon him through various coincidences and twists of fate. Hong Yuan's Original Body had always adopted the policy of hiding in plain sight, blending with the crowd. After all, the Original Body was not like the Power Tao Incarnation or Water Tao Incarnation, which could be easily replaced.

But things never go entirely according to one's wishes. Eventually, the Original Body's name became renowned among the Human Race!

However, now was the time for Hong Yuan to choose an appropriate opportunity to exit the grand stage of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent. Hong Yuan possessed terrifying strength, capable of suppressing many Great Dream Seeds under the Reverse Saint Array. But if he were to reveal such power, anyone with a sound mind would realize there was a significant issue with him. The power of the Human Race was formidable, was it not? Hong Yuan's Original Body could not withstand too much scrutiny.

「That night,」

Under the scattered moonlight, a lively atmosphere prevailed at Rainbow Fire Peak as drinks flowed freely. In such an atmosphere, everyone was awed by Hong Yuan's terrifying influence.

They all realized: "If someone were to take over Hong Yuan's title as the number one ordinary person, they would gain immense advantages in the battle to unite the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent!"
