We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World - Chapter 80
Chapter 80: He Has an Undeserved Reputation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Within the palace, ethereal mist swirled, and divine light flickered, presenting a scene that resembles a heavenly realm on Earth.
More than a dozen of people sat down and chatted happily with each other.
Behind the jade table, a tall and sturdy figure dressed in armor raised his jade cup and gently sipped. He chuckled and said, “Has Su Chen, the friend from the Great Mystery Sect arrived yet?”
“Your Highness, don’t be anxious. I’ve already sent someone to invite him. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be here soon!”
Someone below hurriedly replied when hearing this.
“I heard that Su Chen entered the Forbidden Stage while he was in the Qi Gathering Realm. I wonder if the rumors are true. Could it be that he is a so-called ‘genius’ created by the Great Mystery Sect using pills?”
The corners of a young figure’s mouth curled up slightly as he spoke indifferently with some disdain.
His entire body was surrounded by divine light, and his words carried a hint of lemon acid.
Although he was not over twenty years old, he had already cultivated for more than ten years. He entered the Mystery Darkness Sect when he was a child.
However, he had only reached the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
Usually, he would consider himself a genius.
But now, with Su Chen’s appearance, his pride was completely shattered.
He had cultivated for over ten years, but he was only at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
However, it was said that Su Chen had only entered the Great Mystery Sect at the age of seventeen. In just a few years, he had broken through to the Qi Sea Realm and had even stepped into the Forbidden Stage at the Qi Gathering Realm.
In comparison.
His aptitude was somewhat unsightly.
“The rumors are not just that. I heard that Su Chen killed three dark creatures a month ago! It has been ten thousand years since dark creatures last appeared in this world. Now, they descended into the territory of the Great Mystery Sect and were killed by Su Chen… When Su Chen arrives, I must ask him what those dark creatures look like!”
The armored man said meaningfully.
Most of the people present did not believe that Su Chen had killed dark creatures.
After all, that creature only existed in historical records and had not appeared for a long time. Everyone thought that it was just a legend.
No one could be sure if there was life outside the world.
Perhaps the Great Mystery Sect was deliberately gilding their own disciples!
After all.
Creating momentum was a very common thing. Almost every sect would promote their outstanding disciples.
But the Great Mystery Sect was a little too exaggerated!
Now, they were using the dark creatures to create momentum for their disciple.
What about the future?
“In my opinion, Su Chen is nothing more than a mere reputation.”
The young man from the Mystery Darkness Sect shook his head and said disdainfully.
However, just as he finished speaking, a purple figure suddenly appeared in the palace.
“If I have an undeserved reputation, then what about you?”
A calm voice rang out in the palace.
“Hmm?”
Accompanied by this voice, the entire hall fell silent.
At the top.
A man in a light golden robe with a majestic figure and divine light flowing around his body shot two sharp gazes from his eyes as he looked deeply at Su Chen who had suddenly appeared.
Although he didn’t say anything, he had a kind of intimidating aura that made people tremble with fear.
Beside him.
There was a woman in a white palace dress. She had an extraordinary appearance and a slender figure, graceful as jade, surrounded by a colorful aura. Her hair cascaded smoothly, and she was like a heavenly beauty.
At this moment.
A faint smile appeared on her face as she sized up Su Chen.
Similarly, Su Chen also looked at her.
In the entire hall, only two people sat at the head of the table.
One of them was a man dressed in a pale golden robe, while the other was a woman dressed in a palace outfit.
If he was not mistaken, these two should be the Eldest Prince and Ninth Princess that Elder Fan had mentioned.
He was also the one who invited Su Chen!
“Su Chen!”
Just as Su Chen was sizing up the two people above, a loud shout came.
The young man from the Mystery Darkness Sect had a frosty expression. His eyes were cold as he said in a deep voice, “What did you mean by that?”
Today’s banquet was organized by the Eldest Prince and the Ninth Princess of the imperial family of Dachu.
Everyone present represented not only themselves but also the forces behind them.
If Su Chen’s words were to spread, how would they face others in the future?!
“I mean it literally.”
Su Chen glanced at him and said indifferently.
He had heard the conversation between Situ Feng of the Everlasting Sect and this young man from the Mystery Darkness Sect.
Since they chose to frame him behind his back, there was no need for him to give them any face!
The young man from the Mystery Darkness Sect stood up abruptly upon hearing this, exuding a fierce aura like a primordial beast that was about to devour someone.
However…
Just as he was about to make a move, a faint voice came from above.
“Enough!”
The Ninth Princess opened her lips and uttered two words. Her beautiful face did not show any change in expression, but her tone was a little unhappy.
“Don’t tell me you want to fight here?”
“Xuanyun dares not!”
When the young man from the Mystery Darkness Sect heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly said.
When the prodigies present saw Gu Xuanyun speak, there was a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
Everyone present, except for the two above, was a potential rival.
Even if they couldn’t compete today, they would inevitably have to fight after entering the Hundred Demon Battlefield.
If they could witness the strength of the two leaders of the Great Mystery Sect and the Mystery Darkness Sect, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for them.
Unfortunately.
The two of them were about to fight, but the Ninth Princess stopped them at the last moment.
“Su Chen of the Great Mystery Sect greets two Highnesses.”
Su Chen cupped his hands slightly and said flatly.
Then, he looked around and glanced at the leaders of the various sects present. He said indifferently, “Greetings, fellow Daoists.”
Seeing this, the others quickly returned the greeting, turning a blind eye to Su Chen’s cold attitude.
No matter what happened in the dark, they still needed to maintain appearances to avoid giving others a handle.
Even Gu Xuanyun returned the courtesy, though his face looked unpleased.
“The disciple of the Great Mystery Sect really lives up to his reputation! Please take a seat!”
The man in the pale golden robe above slowly spoke.
His voice was very deep and carried the imposing manner of a superior.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Su Chen nodded slightly and casually found a seat to sit down.
After he took his seat.
On his left, a green-robed man raised his cup towards him from a distance and revealed a friendly smile.
The Hundred Demon Battlefield was about to open. This time, there were a total of more than a dozen forces present.
Since there were sects that were at odds with the Great Mystery Sect, there would naturally be sects that were on good terms with them.
The green-robed man next to him was obviously from a sect that had a good relationship with the Great Mystery Sect.
The other party was wearing a green robe with a spirit sword embroidered on the sleeve.
With just a glance, Su Chen knew that this person was from a sect called the Spirit Sword Sect.
Seeing the goodwill, Su Chen naturally did not refuse. He also raised his wine cup and nodded slightly.
As the saying goes, one should not hit someone who’s smiling at you..
