Hearing Chen Changan's words, they all froze. What did he mean?
Was he not planning to leave?
But if he stayed, how could he possibly stand against the Second Palace Three Gods Sect?
"Don't do anything rash!"
"They're saying that because they want you to come forward on your own."
"They'll never let you go!"
Chen Changan smiled at the man's warning. "Have you considered why I came here in the first place?"
"Well..."
"Why did you come?" the man asked, puzzled.
"Because I wasn't planning to let them go either!"
"If they choose to be the Holy Spirit Clan's dogs, they'll have to pay a price."
The Holy Spirit Clan?
How had they become involved in this?
"You mean the Second Palace Three Gods Sect has gone over to the Holy Spirit Clan?"
"The ones who really want you aren't the Second Palace Three Gods Sect, but the Holy Spirit Clan?"
The man was no fool. Chen Changan's words told him that the Holy Spirit Clan was involved.
"Knowing too much won't do you any good. Step aside so you don't get caught in the crossfire."
"What happens next is my business."
While Chen Changan spoke with them, the others whispered among themselves, scanning the crowd to see whether this Chen Changan really was among them.
The people of the Second Palace Three Gods Sect were searching too. They wanted Chen Changan to appear more than anyone.
"What's wrong?"
"Afraid to show yourself?"
"Or did you never have the nerve to come? Perhaps we gave you too much credit."
The provocation was painfully crude. Everyone could see that they were trying to goad Chen Changan into coming forward.
"Damn it, which one of them is Chen Changan?"
"Did he come or not? If he's here, he should step out
