Chapter 713: Chapter 469

“Brother Qi, what exactly are you talking about?”

“Does Brother Qi know the origin of this carriage?”

The crowd saw the shocked expression on the dark-clothed youth and quickly asked.

The dark-clothed youth took a deep breath, calming himself down.

He continued to look at the carriage and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this carriage should be the one that, back in the day, stirred up great waves in the Holy City. After the spiritual energy recovered, it was the first in the world to trigger a Heavenly Tribulation and successfully cross it, being the vehicle of that figure!”

The dark-clothed youth spoke a long string of words, causing the crowd to be unable to react for a moment.

But as they mulled over these words, their eyes couldn’t help but gradually widen.

Because they already knew who the dark-clothed youth was referring to.

“Brother Qi, are you saying that this carriage is the vehicle of that figure?!”

The white-clothed youth surnamed Wang asked in disbelief.

“It should be no mistake!” the dark-clothed youth affirmed. “Back then, when that figure first arrived in Central State, he stirred up quite a storm.

The first Tribulation Crossing after the spiritual energy recovery, he single-handedly defeated and slaughtered numerous monks of the Suspended Mountain.

He suppressed the entire Holy City, leaving no one daring to make a sound.

Even the Third Saint was defeated by him.

He was truly unrivaled, the best in Central State.

Because of this, the vehicle he rode back then was remembered by many.

The White Horned Dragon Horse, the Wind-controlling Chariot, these are the marks of the carriage he rode.

Look, isn’t that carriage below exactly like the one in the legends?”

Listening to the dark-clothed youth’s description, the crowd looked at the carriage again and indeed found it to be so.

“So, the Holy Mountain has also sent an invitation to that figure?” the white-clothed youth surnamed Wang murmured.

But soon, he realized: “No, wasn’t it rumored that he was at odds with the Holy Mountain back then?

Not only was the Third Saint defeated by him, but when the three Saints later invited him to the Holy Mountain, he not only refused, but also left the Holy City immediately?

Why would the Holy Mountain invite him now?”

“Why? Of course, because of that figure’s strength!”

The beautiful woman from earlier sneered, “That figure is vaguely acknowledged as the world’s number one person now, with unfathomable cultivation!

The Holy Mountain wouldn’t dare not send him an invitation; if it provoked his displeasure, that would indeed be big trouble!”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it made sense.

Given that figure’s current cultivation and status, at such a world-renowned event, if the Holy Mountain didn’t invite him, and if he felt disrespected, who knows what would happen.

“So, that figure is really here?”

At this point, the crowd began to believe it was indeed possible that he had come.

Instantly, everyone felt a shock within.

Because, just as the dark-clothed youth had said.

The fame of that figure was just too resounding.

He already carried the vague title of the world’s number one, and just his name was enough to make countless sect forces feel apprehensive.

After all, if another sect had a Golden Core True Man who had crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be a matter for celebration.

But that figure could easily slay Golden Core Realm beings.

No sect would not feel a mix of fear and reverence toward such a terrifying figure.

“No wonder earlier Brother Zhirui went so eagerly to greet him; it is said that he and that figure have a deep connection. Now it seems, the rumors are indeed not false.”

After a while, someone suddenly remarked with envy.

“Indeed, it is said that when that figure first came to Central State, he stayed at the Tianji Building.

This is also why, in these two years, though Central State has been in turmoil, the Tianji Building hasn’t been affected.

Part of the reason is due to that figure’s presence.”

“To have connected with such a figure so long ago, the Tianji Building indeed lives up to its reputation as the sect with the most informed messages in the world.”

The people in the wine shop watched as the carriage slowly moved away, followed by Lin Zhirui.

Their eyes were filled with an undeniable envy.

They couldn’t help it; though they were proud and each could be considered a genius of their sect, true core heirs.

Compared to that figure, they seemed so insignificant.

They weren’t even on the same level.

For that figure’s realm, even a few words of guidance might benefit them for a lifetime.

How could they not feel envious and jealous?

However, envy aside, everyone immediately relayed the news to their respective sect quarters.

Soon enough, most forces in the Holy City knew about the legendary carriage entering the city.

“The Holy Mountain even invited that person?”

“Are you sure that figure has come?”

“I wonder what his attitude towards this grand event will be.”

“It’s rumored that he doesn’t get along with those three old monsters of the Holy Mountain. Perhaps it’s a good opportunity for us.”

“With even him coming, it seems our plans should change a bit.”

“With such a figure here, this event is getting more and more interesting.”

“I heard that figure still looks like a young man; this time I must see if he truly is as demonic as the legends say.”

…

Upon learning that the legendary carriage had arrived at the Holy City.

For a time, the responses of the various sect forces within the city were mixed.

Some were apprehensive, some fearful, some curious… there was no end to it.

But without exception, every sect force unconsciously focused their attention on that side.

In this way, under numerous watchful eyes, the carriage leisurely followed Lin Zhirui into the Tianji Building, disappearing from people’s sight.

Even Divine Soul Sensing Ability couldn’t perceive the situation within the Tianji Building.
