Chapter 391 - 391 391 So What

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: So What? Chapter 391: Chapter 391: So What? “Dan Emperor?”

The respectful address by Lei Tianjue and Ye Gucheng, among a dozen other geniuses, left the audience quite astonished.

“Why are Ye Gucheng and Lei Tianjue so respectful towards Feng Wuchen?” Bai Mie wondered to himself after a glance at Ye Gucheng and Lei Tianjue, his shock growing as his gaze shifted to the Family Head of the Ye Family and the Pavilion Master of Purple Cloud Pavilion.

“Bei Dou Yan?” His eyes shifted slightly as Bai Mie caught sight of the familiar figure of Bei Dou Yan, extremely surprised.

At that moment, Bei Dou Yan’s gaze was also fixed on Bai Mie. As their eyes met, Bai Mie was surprised, while Bei Dou Yan was filled with a fighting spirit, clearly unwilling to accept his previous defeat at Bai Mie’s hands.

“They must be from Jiuzhou!” Bai Mie speculated in his heart.

Fan Shaoyun was also very surprised, the expressions of the senior members of the Heavenly Moon Sect and the Bai Family becoming more solemn.

“Absurd! How dare a little brat, still wet behind the ears, claim to be the Dan Emperor?” the Great Elder of the Heavenly Moon Sect rebuked quietly, disdainfully glancing at Feng Wuchen, “The title of Dan Emperor isn’t for just anyone to self-proclaim. Only the supreme Alchemists are worthy of being called Dan Emperors! There’s not a single Dan Emperor throughout the entire Mainland; this child’s claim is an insult to the Dan Emperor!”

The Great Elder of the Heavenly Moon Sect was a Sixth-Grade Alchemist with extremely high prestige in the Tianyuan Realm, a status transcendent, even higher than the prestige of the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect.

He was the presence of the strongest Alchemist in the Tianyuan Realm, and also the only Alchemist with the hope of breaking through to the Seventh-Grade.

“With the status of Ye Gucheng and Lei Tianjue, they shouldn’t be so respectful to this person. I’m very curious about Feng Wuchen’s background,” Fan Shaoyun pondered.

The profound respect from talents like Ye Gucheng, Lei Tianjue, and the young Sect Master of Holy Sun Sect indicated that Feng Wuchen had a significant background, at least significant enough to make them wary.

While shocked, the Bai Family and many cultivators were also curious about Feng Wuchen’s origins and why Feng Wuchen appeared at this time.

Feng Wuchen and others slowly descended, hovering above the unrecognizable fighting stage.

“He is Feng Wuchen? So young, not even twenty years old, right?”

“To have reached the fifth layer of the Tianyuan Realm at such a young age, and able to defeat an eightfold Tianyuan Realm powerhouse, he truly is a terrifying genius.”

“Feng Wuchen, you’re too late, the fight for the genius ranking has already ended! You’ve missed your chance!”

“You’re not here to challenge, are you? Even Master Fan had named you for a battle earlier, but I don’t think you have the ability to defeat Young Master Fan.”

“Feng Wuchen, if you’re brave enough, fight a battle with Young Master Fan!”

Many young cultivators present started shouting, bearing some hostility towards Feng Wuchen.

This was the first time Feng Wuchen had made a public appearance before the various forces of the Tianyuan Realm.

Feng Wuchen’s challenge to the geniuses of all sizes and strengths within the Tianyuan Realm had shocked the realm, drawing the attention of the entire Tianyuan Realm’s powers, all curious to see this formidable genius.

Now, having seen him, the crowd was quite surprised.

“Pavilion Master, Young Master Zhang is on the mountaintop!” one of the elders of Purple Cloud Pavilion whispered, spotting Zhang Junlan’s figure by chance.

The Pavilion Master of Purple Cloud Pavilion nodded slightly, his old eyes also glancing at a certain mountaintop.

Zhang Junlan and Dong Zhantian were watching the people below.

The senior members of both the Ye Family and the Ming King Sect were no fools; Zhang Junlan was Feng Wuchen’s student. With Feng Wuchen present, Zhang Junlan would surely be there too.

Feng Wuchen’s face showed no change, still wearing a faint smile of indifference, undaunted by the hostility of the crowd.

“I am not here for the genius ranking, nor to challenge,” Feng Wuchen said with a serene smile. “I am here to find someone.”

“Looking for someone?” The crowd began to ponder in confusion.

Feng Wuchen said indifferently, “The struggle of the genius ranking is very exciting, and the talents of various major forces are quite powerful. Among them, I have my eyes on quite a few.”

“You have your eyes on quite a few people?”

“Feng Wuchen, you’re not thinking of having them follow you as well, are you?”

“Feng Wuchen, you’ve really got some nerve, picking the day of the genius ranking struggle to recruit talents. I don’t think anyone would be willing to follow you.”

As soon as Feng Wuchen had opened his mouth, the crowd guessed his intention, and many showed disdain.

“That’s exactly what I intend, but I never force anyone, it’s their decision,” Feng Wuchen was direct, not skirting around the issue, and not worried about his chosen talents being unwilling.

Feng Wuchen also wouldn’t force anyone, just as with Ye Gucheng; when Ye Gucheng refused, Feng Wuchen said nothing.

“Ridiculous! Who do you think you are? You think you can just recruit whoever you want? What do you take this realm for?” a powerful individual said disdainfully.

Feng Wuchen shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “Like I said, it’s up to them.”

“Feng Wuchen, you must not be from this realm. What is your purpose in recruiting talents here, and what qualifications do you have to make them follow you?” Bai Mie eyed Feng Wuchen skeptically, asking with a grave expression.

Hearing Bai Mie speak, Lei Tianjue immediately sent a warning through telepathy: “Bai Mie, do not offend the Alchemy Emperor; his strength is no less than yours, and he has a very scary background. No one in this realm can afford to provoke him; I was defeated by him!”

On hearing Lei Tianjue’s message, Bai Mie’s expression changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but glance towards Lei Tianjue.

Bai Mie was shocked to his core. He was very clear about Lei Tianjue’s formidable power, yet Lei Tianjue had been defeated by Feng Wuchen!

Doesn’t that mean that Bai Mie wouldn’t be a match for Feng Wuchen either?

Lei Tianjue and Bai Mie had a good relationship, so Bai Mie had no doubt about Lei Tianjue’s words.

“Who exactly is Feng Wuchen? With the power of the Tianyuan Realm’s fivefold cultivation, he defeated Lei Tianjue! How is that possible!” Bai Mie found it hard to believe, yet couldn’t help but believe it.

“Bai Mie, what’s wrong?” Seeing Bai Mie’s utterly shocked face, the Bai Family Head asked in confusion.

“No… nothing…” Bai Mie shook his head dazedly, realizing his back was drenched in cold sweat.

The Bai Family Head furrowed his brows deeply. He had never seen Bai Mie so flustered before, not even when facing the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Moon Sect.

Feng Wuchen cast a detached glance at Bai Mie and said indifferently, ” I have no ulterior motive; I simply want to recruit talents. I possess more abundant cultivation resources, and I can make their cultivation stronger.”

The Heavenly Moon Sect’s Elder scolded coldly, “Humph! Do you think that’s possible for you? Claiming to be the Alchemy Emperor is an insult to the title. You’re not even qualified.”

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen looked at the Elder indifferently, letting out a cold chuckle, “I’m not qualified? And you think you, a Sixth Grade Alchemist, are?”

The Elder’s face immediately darkened, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

“Outrageous! How dare you disrespect Elder Ren! You’re tired of living!”

“He’s truly ignorant! Elder Ren is the strongest Alchemist in this realm! To think you would utter such madness!”

“Elder Ren! Kill Feng Wuchen!”

The crowd erupted into a chorus of angry curses, clearly trying to curry favor with Elder Ren.

“So what?” Feng Wuchen responded proudly, showing no fear.
