Even though Chen Fan had left, everything he did had been recorded by the live-broadcast platforms on the Internet and had been spread around the world.
There were only a few million people watching the live-broadcast at first, but once Chen Fan showed up, many posts appeared with tags like âThe Man in Black in Jiang Beiâ and âWhoâs the Master of the North Qiong Sect?â and âChen Beixuan Is Here.â
The Internet was extremely developed in recent days.
There were only a few of those news in the beginning and people didnât even care about them. Tons of rumors circulated around the world every day in that era. Some said there was a Divine Treasure somewhere, some said a Grotto-heaven had appeared, some said someone became a Golden Core Cultivator or some cultivators from other planets had arrived. Most of them werenât true.
And yet, a few minutes later, more people asked questions and some of them even uploaded photos and videos, arousing peopleâs curiosity. So, countless people started to flood into the live-broadcast platforms. Many platforms almost collapsed, especially âMango Live.â During the busiest time, there were over a hundred million people online and two million more came every minute.
âQuick, quick, ask the technical department to increase the bandwidth. Our platform cannot collapse,â the Manager of Mango Live said anxiously.
Jiang Hua was also scolded by his boss. They wanted him to continue the live-broadcast, but he didnât know what to say anymore. In fact, any commentator would have been just as dumbfounded.
In just a few minutesâ
Dozens of Immortal State Warriors and a Connate Cultivator had died on the stage. Chen Fan had even exposed eight aliens, who were all Connate Overlords, by stomping his foot.
âThe Demon Tribe, the Kindred, the Mermenâ¦â
Those were all powerful beings Jiang Hua, Mango Live and even China couldnât provoke.
But Chen Fan killed them all in a heartbeat.
Jiang Hua was completely dumbfounded.
Countless people in the audience watching the live-broadcast were even spitting out all the bad words they had in their minds.
âWhoâs that guy? Heâs so cruel. He even killed the cultivators of the Sun Palace and the Dark Races. I remember that Lord Xin has just met the President of the United States not long ago.â
âYeah, those Connate Cultivators are from five different races and all of them are powerful. A Prime Minister in Europe offended the leader of the Kindred a while back and they immediately drained his blood.â
âThe man in black is terrifying. Do you know what he is?â
âChen Beixuan! You donât know him?â
âWhoâs Chen Beixuan?â
âF**k, you donât know Chen Beixuan? You were surely born after 2020. I guess youâre still in kindergarten!â
âSays whoâ¦?â
There were tons of comments on the live-broadcast, which almost made Mango Live collapse. A lot of people couldnât recognize Chen Fan. After all, he had been gone for too long. The younger generation grew up without knowing him. However, those older than twenty-five years old still remembered Chen Fan clearly. A decade wasnât enough for them to forget what he had done.
Chen Beixuan became the top search on WeChat, Weibo and Baidu. Everyone who knew Chen Fan went mad when they heard he was back.
âF**k, seriously? Isnât he just the Sect Master of the North Qiong Sect? I think heâs at most a Golden Core Cultivator and is only a bit stronger than Ye Nantian, Azure Dragon and the Ancestral Master of the Ba Ji Sect,â someone wondered.
But another group of people quickly refuted, âKid, you must be under twenty. You have no idea what Chen Beixuan means. He used to be an invincible Overlord of an era. Ten years ago, he could already kill Golden Core Cultivators. Do you have any idea how powerful he would be a decade later?â
âThatâs right. Kunlun and the large sects have been fighting against the aliens and Deities from other planets. And now, Chen Beixuan has finally returned. Those alien races who provoked our country are going down.â
âHaha, Chen Beixuan always seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. Just you wait. Heâll certainly settle the scores.â
Chen Fan might not have many die-hard fans, but they were all fast and they kept telling people about him on the Internet. Soon, even the young generations knew who Chen Fan was in the past.
Although they didnât understand why the older seniors were so crazy about him, they could still feel his charisma.
Meanwhile, news about Chen Fanâs return had spread all over Earth through the Internet.
At that momentâ
All countries, sects, corporations and races were stunned after hearing the news.
In Lin City, Tian Nan Province.
Lu Yanwu was sitting in the mansion of the Lu family. She was almost forty years old, but she still looked the same because of Spirit Medicines and Qi Refinement. Her skin was fair and time didnât seem to have left any traces on her. And yet, she became more mature and attained the elegance unique to women.
When the North Qiong Sect was eliminated, Lu Yanwu and the Lu family survived because they were only a branch and were mainly responsible for North Qiong Corp. However, North Qiong Corp had also been taken away by some greedy corporations. Lu Yanwu struggled and could only keep the Lu family holdings.
Even though the Lu family was still a famous Martial Arts Family in China, they were much weaker than they used to be in their heyday.
Lu Yanwu was dealing with their businesses that day. She looked up from time to time and rubbed her temples with her fingers. Her eyes were full of exhaustion. Countless people wanted to take down the Lu family after losing the support from the North Qiong Sect. Lu Yanwu had given out half of their territories in the Tian Nan Province, leaving only half of Lin City to themselves, but their enemies were still unsatisfied.
âAh, if the North Qiong Sect and Perfected Cultivator Chen were still here, we wouldnât be humiliated by those people.â
Lu Yanwu heaved a sigh and looked at the invitation card on the desk. She thought of the hypocritical and dirty look of the person who had sent it, which made her want to throw up. However, she had to smile and reply.
Suddenly, a girl rushed in.
âSister, sister, great news. Chen⦠Chen⦠Heâs back.â
Lu Yanwu got up and scolded the girl, âWhatâs going on? Look at you! Yanshuang, youâre the Lady of the Lu family. Donât be so rude when youâre outside. If not, people would think that we donât have an ounce of manners.â
But then, she was startled the moment she saw Old Lord Lu, who had barely showed up at the door. âWhat brings you here? You should have told me before you came.â
Old Lord Lu smiled and said, âHow can I not come? Thereâs such great news. Yanwu, the Lu family is going to rise again.â
âHuh?â Lu Yanwu was shocked. Then, the girl finally caught her breath and said, âSister, Perfected Cultivator Chen Beixuan has returned.â
âWhat?â
The invitation card in her hand fell to the floor.
Lu Yanwu couldnât feel anything anymore. She stood there like a statue, as if she had been struck by lightning.
âYouâre finally⦠back?â
