The King's Contempt
The Gray Blood organization is known as the Blood Terror in New Star and has a very high reputation. According to various rumors, many bloody and chaotic events are related to them.
"Today, someone taught the Gray Blood organization a lesson!"
The news spread like wildfire within certain circles, instantly reaching major conglomerates and top organizations, causing a stir.
"A superhuman can actually do this?" Some people were moved. Chen Yongjie had just returned from the secret realm and immediately made such a grand gesture.
The Gray Blood organization only has about ten branches in total, and now one of them has been wiped out. The loss is absolutely heavy, which seems unbelievable to outsiders.
Because only two people were involved, they destroyed an underground core base cleanly and efficiently. If this were a surprise attack on the leader of some organization, they could probably be decapitated quickly!
For a time, everyone was shocked and had to think deeply about why Chen Yongjie did this. There was an element of coercion involved, but there was also an element of intimidation.
This is meant to make all parties weigh the consequences: whoever wants to hunt down superhumans, whoever wants to target him, must be prepared to pay a terrible price!
"Blow away the fog of mythology, it is coming from ancient times, approaching reality from legend. Are we to gradually adapt to living with the extraordinary?" someone said in a deep voice.
"The fact that an individual human could achieve this level of strength, wiping out one-tenth of the Gray Blood organization's resources in such a short time, is chilling to even think about!"
When some core members of large conglomerates received the news, their expressions changed. Superhumans must now report their travels; there is no room for negotiation.
In their eyes, these two were no longer human, but rather an extremely dangerous "species." They were just two people, yet they were equivalent to a terrifying assassin organization!
"To be precise, it's mainly Chen Yongjie; he's an extraordinary being, while Wang Xuan is just a grandmaster!" someone corrected.
"No! When Wang Xuan appeared, the supernatural substances in the forest were abnormal, like a flash flood. What if he is also a supernatural being?"
The advisors of some organizations looked grave, not completely ruling out Wang Xuan.
"If those extraordinary substances really doubled in size because of his appearance, then it means that he is the number one dangerous person, and his energy level is even higher than Chen Yongjie's!"
This viewpoint has been put forward by some.
Large organizations have no shortage of people, so if there are any doubts, then corresponding contingency plans need to be made.
"Have someone follow up and study this Wang Xuan carefully. If he is a superhuman, it means that Chen Yongjie has been covering for him all along. This is a bombshell, absolutely terrifying!"
Even though Wang Xuan was cautious, from that day onwards, he was also being watched and suspected!
Those top conglomerates and large organizations have their own efficient systems, and once they get serious, they can be quite formidable, and they may be exposed.
Someone created a picture of Old Chen tearing apart a high-level robot with his bare hands, which went viral online. It didn't need any text description; it generated its own buzz and traffic.
Honey Badger lived up to expectations and broke into the top ten of the trending list!
Then, someone found the picture of Old Zhong carrying the warship away and compared it with the picture of the short-haired youth tearing apart the six-meter-tall strongest robot.
"Times have truly changed. People from both the New Star and the Old Earth are becoming extraordinary, and myths are appearing all around us!"
Major platforms have invited professionals to interpret and inform the public that extraordinary individuals do exist in the Real World, and that some ancient legends are true.
Such remarks naturally sparked heated discussions, and ordinary people experienced an extraordinary shock.
Soon, someone posted a picture showing three people: Old Zhong carrying a warship and running from behind; Chen Yongjie tearing apart a robot from the front; and a young man standing on a high place, smiling at the other two.
This image is very meaningful; it was definitely created intentionally.
Although Old Chen's picture is blurry, and Wang Xuan's profile is even more indistinct, the artistic conception is very clear.
"Is this telling us that there is a third extraordinary individual? Even younger than that!"
Those in the know immediately recognized that this was a deliberate leak, a test by someone, and the suspicions raised by some organization's advisors had an effect.
"Old Zhong carried the warship away, Old Chen took down the strongest robot, and a mysterious young man revealed a mysterious smile."
I don't know how such a statement came about, but it caused a sensation and heated discussion.
Someone was manipulating the situation, propelling the buzz-cut youth to seventh place on the trending list, and the cover image of the topic was that "three-person picture".
"No way, this picture looks like Old Wang to me. Someone is trying to stir up trouble and push Wang Xuan into the spotlight."
Zhong Cheng noticed the situation immediately and called his sister over to check the trending topics.
On a luxury yacht, Zhou Yun invited his friends and family to go out to sea for a party, and resumed his colorful old life.
He also noticed the trending list and immediately boasted to a group of friends, "See that? Chen Yongjie, a true Supernatural Practitioner. I once traveled with him, fighting together in the secret realm. Wow... Little Wang also made it onto the list, and even uttered a kingly disdain, looking down on the two extraordinary beings from there!"
Although the face was blurry, he recognized the mysterious young man in the "three-person picture" at a glance.
"Zhou Yun, you're not bragging, are you? We know you went into the secret realm, but are those monsters and the Earth Immortal City really that outrageous?"
"Yes, we already know Chen the Supernatural, but who is this 'King's Contempt'?"
On the yacht, a group of young men and women, some of whom came from tycoons and large organizations, were all from prominent backgrounds.
"My brother, Wang Xuan, is a formidable figure in the secret realm who dared to kill Great Grandmaster from another realm. Not to mention the monsters who died at his hands, he also intimidated a group of powerful figures from another realm in the Earth Immortal City. Now that I think about it, could he really be an extraordinary being?!"
As Zhou Yun recounted this, he was startled. He carefully recalled his experience in the Earth Immortal City. Wang Xuan and Old Chen had once extorted protection money from a group of powerful figures from other realms. They were far too domineering.
Finally, he shook his head again and said, "He's probably not a superhuman yet. He's too young. If he can reach that level now, how high will he go in the future? In a few years, he'll most likely become an Earth Immortal!"
Someone immediately perked up and said, "Zhou Yun, why don't you invite him out? This guy seems quite interesting. Let's get together. Anyway, we're all young people, we're sure to get along."
A beautiful girl with sparkling eyes chimed in, "That's right! Let's call this King of Disdain over here and play together. Let's see what the future Supernatural Practitioner, or even earth immortals, will be like!"
Ling Qiming frowned as he looked at the pictures on the online platform. Others might not believe that Wang Xuan was a superhuman, but he was getting a little carried away and his heart was uneasy.
He thought of what Chen Yongjie had said to him, and for a moment, he was lost in thought.
In the westernmost region of the Central Continent, on the Cloud Mist Plateau, within a dense forest, chilling screams echoed.
Zheng Hui was covered in blood. When Wang Xuan flicked his finger, his entire right arm was broken, suffering a comminuted fracture with the skin and flesh almost falling off.
Earlier, he controlled the robotic clone to speak, saying that Wang Xuan was just an extra, used to lure Chen Yongjie, and... it actually worked.
However, this ending is not so pleasant.
What did he do? He used a prehistoric giant crocodile as bait, which attracted another giant crocodile, and wiped out a branch of their Gray Blood organization in the shortest amount of time.
He is deliberately inviting disaster and courting his own destruction!
"Killing me won't do any good; I have nothing to say. In fact, I genuinely don't know where headquarters is. We only communicate through a single line of command, following orders from headquarters. I've never been there!"
"Speak properly!" Wang Xuan flicked his finger again, and Zheng Hui's leg exploded, exposing the bone fragments.
He showed no mercy to one of the branch leaders of this cold-blooded killer organization. Having witnessed firsthand the various inhumane experiments being conducted there, he had no intention of letting the organization off the hook.
Old Chen also inflicted torture on the other two. With one slap, half of the two high-ranking members' bodies rotted away, almost completely separating their flesh from their bones.
The three members of the Gray Blood organization kept their mouths shut. As expected of the leader of the assassins, they did not let go even when their bones were broken and their tendons were torn.
However, Wang Xuan and Old Chen did not intend to get them to confess. They were simply guiding them and then using their mental abilities to capture their thoughts and feelings in order to obtain the secret.
Unfortunately, these three people really didn't know the location of the Gray Blood organization's headquarters.
This terrifying and bloody organization has excellent secrecy measures in place. Those below them are simply passively following orders and have no idea about the inner workings of the core.
There is no contact between the various branches.
"You know nothing, what use are you?" Old Chen slapped one of them, sending him flying more than twenty meters away before disintegrating in the dense forest, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Zheng Hui and the remaining man turned deathly pale.
They knew they were about to die, and in their final moments they were filled with fear, deeply aware that the organization had gotten itself into a huge mess.
"I didn't expect you to be a superhuman too. This is such a surprise, so young. If word gets out, all organizations will be shaken!"
Zheng Hui finished speaking, he saw a flying sword slash down and shred his body. He screamed in agony; it was a cruel torture akin to being slowly sliced to death.
He too turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even bones behind.
"Old Chen, do you think any Transcendent Immortals have returned and are observing everything about the New Star, and have also seen our news through the advanced network information?"
"That's possible!"
The two left the Cloud Mist Plateau and entered Yuan City, a major city in the west. It was already late at night.
The kidnapping ultimately harmed Wang Xuan; he lost his phone, which he then bought a new one in Yuan City.
"Old Chen, you've become an internet celebrity!"
Soon after, they boarded a suspended train and sped towards Su City in the central region of the Central Continent. Old Chen's face was dark on the train.
He wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems like someone is scrutinizing him with a magnifying glass, and he's even trending on social media, now ranking fifth!
If this continues, he will surpass the popularity of the male celebrity surnamed Wu who was just imprisoned and the sweet female celebrity who is currently holding a solo concert.
That's bad enough, but to call him "Honey Badger" is even worse!
Old Chen has decided to start growing his hair long today and change his image!
"Don't even mention me, you're about to be exposed too. New Star's technology is so advanced, there are all sorts of methods that are hard to guard against. No matter how you hide, you will always leave clues. Now, even the King's Disdain has been spread by you, which means that people are starting to suspect you."
Wang Xuan nodded, but there was nothing to worry about now. Living in a city with a population of tens of millions, close to a conglomerate, would anyone really dare to send a warship to destroy the city?
If he doesn't dare to massacre the city, then other weapons are ineffective against him. He is now quite confident!
Wang Xuan was already prepared to be exposed.
Even though the suspended train was fast, it was still far slower than a spaceship, and they didn't return to Su City until the next morning.
Early in the morning, many people contacted Old Chen, all offering various banquets and gatherings.
He and Wang Xuan wiped out a branch of the Gray Blood organization, and the situation escalated overnight, making everyone want to get closer to him.
Old Chen spoke politely with people, politely declining some requests, but unable to refuse others. He was going to be busy, so he asked Wang Xuan if he wanted to go.
"I'm not going!" Wang Xuan refused outright.
"Hey, we have to go to this place. Someone invited us to admire his collection and see the ancient scriptures he has collected!" Old Chen smiled after receiving a phone call.
"Someone invited us to read the scriptures?!" Wang Xuan was stunned; it was truly unexpected.
Old Chen nodded and said, "The Old Arts have shown extraordinary power in our hands, shining with brilliant light. It's normal for some people to want to curry favor with us and invite us to appreciate them."
He then added, "While some tycoons are still unaware of the abilities of superhumans and our capacity to steal scriptures, let's collect them quickly!"
"I'm afraid they won't bring out the good stuff," Wang Xuan said. "Corporate tycoons and large organizations never do business that will leave them at a loss."
"Okay, let's take a look first!" Old Chen nodded.
The person who invited them was the Qian Family, the old man who had a good relationship with Old Chen and had once sent him to the Cloud Mist Plateau.
As the sunset painted half the sky red, Wang Xuan and Old Chen arrived at the Qian Family's estate Su City. Someone led them to a Daoist temple.
According to the Qian Family, every brick and tile here was transported from the Old Earth, making it an ancient Daoist temple with a long history.
Old Qian was already waiting at the entrance of the Daoist temple.
As soon as he got close, Wang Xuan was moved. This place had quite a few Mysterious Factor. On New Star where Super Material was depleted, this place was almost a place where people could cultivate!
His heart raced. This place definitely contained Ascension Strange Item that could help him unlock his Inner Scenery Realm, a pure land that could also trap him in ancient peril!
Thank you: 15 years, thank you for your support, leader!
