Chapter 1493

Just as Zi Chen was being swept away, a dragon's roar resounded from the third floor of the Tower of Seclusion.

A dragon shadow rushed out, its body glowing with silver light. It transformed into a silver spear and pierced through the air.

Zi Chen returned to the world of the light orbs and stood in the position of the first light orb.

As soon as he stood up, everyone's eyes fell on Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's eyes were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction. If there was enough time, he could guarantee that he would take away all the fragments, not leaving a single drop behind.

Everyone looked up at Zi Chen with different expressions.

Zi Chen was the one who benefited the most from this trip to the Tower. Not only did he obtain the domain core, but he also obtained the perfect domain seed. The best position in the light orb was also occupied by Zi Chen.

Of course, they also gained a lot. Before Zi Chen appeared, they were very satisfied with this trip. However, after Zi Chen's appearance, some people couldn't help but feel jealous.

The elder's figure disappeared in mid-air and reappeared beside Zi Chen. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Zi Chen and looked at the ninety-eight cultivators below. He said, "Before you go, I have to explain something to you."

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

The old man patted Zi Chen's shoulder and said, "He is the leader of your group. During the journey, all of your actions will be under his command. As for his name, I don't think I need to introduce it."

There was no one in the Prefecture Realm who didn't know Zi Chen's name.

However, it was one thing to know Zi Chen's name, but it was another to be under Zi Chen's command.

Among the ninety-eight cultivators below, at least sixty of them were the real leaders. As for the others, they had the potential and qualifications to be leaders.

What right did a mere Zi Chen have to lead these leaders?

Apart from Man Shi and the others who still supported Zi Chen, the others were unsurprisingly in an uproar. Many of them were against the idea.

"Why should Zi Chen be the leader?"

"Zi Chen's combat strength isn't weak, but as the leader, it's not just a matter of combat strength."

"I think we should choose one of the titled ones."

"…"

Very soon, voices of opposition were heard.

The smile on the old man's face did not diminish. He waved his hand, indicating for the crowd to quiet down. Then, he said, "I'll say the same thing again. If you don't agree, you can challenge them. However, once the leader is chosen, everyone must support him unconditionally."

The crowd suddenly became extremely quiet. When it came to challenges, many people lost their confidence.

"Leaders rely on wisdom, not combat power," one of the cultivators said.

The old man smiled and said, "Power is the greatest wisdom."

The person below was speechless, and the expressions of the others also changed. It was very obvious that the old man's attitude had already made it clear that the leader only wanted combat power and not intelligence.

Down below, many people's expressions changed, but no one dared to step forward to challenge the leader.

The old man saw through everyone's thoughts at a glance. He then said, "By the way, whoever becomes the leader will receive an additional reward when they return. This reward is not specific to the individual, but to the city they belong to. It can raise their ranking by one to ten places."

Once again, an uproar broke out among the silent crowd.

The city's ranking varied from one to ten places. This was obviously a ranking that targeted the leader's own city.

If it was second place, Destiny City, it would only be one place. If it was third place, it would advance by two places, directly squeezing out first place Shuntian City.

If Hu Ping City was the last of the ten million years, then Shuntian City had been the leader since the establishment of Shuntian Prefecture. Like Hu Ping City, this position had never been shaken.

The only difference was that one was the last of the ten million years, while the other was the leader.

Squeezing out the last of the ten million years was dishonorable, and no one was interested in that. However, if they could squeeze out the leader's ranking, it would undoubtedly cause a stir in the entire prefecture. This was glory, and no one could miss it.

"I'll do it."

Under the stimulation of the ranking, many people who had been wavering before made up their minds. With a loud shout, a person walked out of the crowd.

"Ye Ming of Goldleaf City. Please enlighten me."

A clear voice rang out. The person who walked out was Ye Ming.

Ye Ming raised his head and looked at Zi Chen. His eyes were cold and confident. After refining the energy in the glowing orb, he had gained a lot. His strength had broken through the first layer of the domain and reached the middle of the second layer. His combat strength had increased by leaps and bounds.

Without waiting for Zi Chen's reply, the old man nodded and said, "Very well. As the leader, you must be strong enough. You are also allowed to take turns. Let's begin."

With that, the old man left in a flash.

Zi Chen was a little speechless. He really did not understand what the old man meant. He had clearly said that he would be the leader, but now he wanted to challenge him.

Was he worried that he would not be able to control the others after entering the Nether Realm?

Or was he looking for other dark horses?

Zi Chen did not understand, but the battle had to continue. Zi Chen looked down at Ye Ming and asked, "How are we going to fight?"

"Of course it's a battle of strength," Ye Ming said loudly, looking very confident.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "If we're talking about a battle of strength, then your strongest point should be your spiritual sense. Alright, I'll fight with your spiritual sense."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light rushed out from between Zi Chen's brows. The golden light turned into Zi Chen and rushed into Ye Ming's sea of consciousness.

A battle of spiritual sense was very dangerous, and the outcome could be determined very quickly. However, this was for ordinary people. The battle between Zi Chen and Ye Ming should last for a long time.

Logically speaking, the two people who were fighting should not move.

However, as soon as Zi Chen's spiritual sense rushed out, he moved.

He walked down the stairs step by step and walked toward Ye Ming.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They did not understand why.

However, soon, someone guessed that Zi Chen was not using his full strength. In other words, Zi Chen was still holding back.

Could Zi Chen, who was holding back, defeat a Beast Tamer at his peak?

To the others, it was probably not. However, they could not be sure that Zi Chen would definitely lose, so everyone fell into a dilemma.

Man Shi and Wu Xie walked together. The two of them looked at Zi Chen, who was walking down with a calm expression. Wu Xie chuckled and said, "Look, that guy is going to be unlucky."

"This guy is too bad. It's good that he's unlucky," Man Shi said coldly.

Ye Ming was indeed going to be unlucky.

Zi Chen approached. Without saying anything, he raised his fist and threw a punch.

He did not hit Ye Ming's lower abdomen, nor did he hit Ye Ming's heart. He did not hit Ye Ming's face. He hit Ye Ming's eyes.

The punch was very powerful and very ingenious.

Ye Ming took a few steps back. His one eye instantly swelled.

The punch was effective. An uproar came from the surroundings.

Evidently, no one had expected such a situation.

Multitasking consumed a lot of spiritual thought. Logically speaking, Ye Ming should have seized the opportunity when Zi Chen was distracted to destroy Zi Chen's spiritual thought.

However, he did not. Ye Ming did not wake up. Naturally, the battle was still going on.

Ye Ming, who had retreated, did not fall. Zi Chen threw another punch. Ye Ming's other eye swelled.

The others were speechless. Some of them were stunned.

Zi Chen looked calm. He threw another punch. This time, he hit Ye Ming's face directly.

The punch landed. Ye Ming's face was swollen.

The punch landed again. His face was swollen again.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Ye Ming was like a puppet, being punched repeatedly.

Zi Chen's strength was ingenious. After so many punches, Ye Ming's face was almost swollen. However, he did not knock Ye Ming down.

The crowd was dumbfounded. Their eyes and mouths were wide open. They found it unbelievable.

Zi Chen was obviously multitasking as his body was being punched. However, what was Ye Ming's soul doing?

Why didn't he take the opportunity to fight back?

Why didn't he destroy Zi Chen's soul?

Looking at the sluggish Ye Ming's head gradually becoming swollen, Shuntian could not help but cover his face. He said, "It's a tragedy for Ye Ming to encounter Zi Chen."

Fortune Teller had a smile on his face. He sighed and said, "Isn't that so? He was humiliated in front of Zi Chen again and again. Today, he was beaten to a pulp. Ye Ming of Golden Leaf City, the pride of God, has never been wronged like this."

Hidden Mist said with a faint smile, "Can't the two of you see this?"

"See what?" The two of them were puzzled.

Hidden Mist pouted and said, "Zi Chen is quite ruthless. He doesn't just want to humiliate Ye Ming. He also wants to show some people that he's still a young man. He's not very mature yet. He just wants to show off his absolute strength in front of some people."

The two of them looked at Jin Qingcheng and instantly understood.

Jin Qingcheng was not far from the three of them. Naturally, she heard Hidden Mist's words. Her pretty face could not help but blush.

However, looking at Zi Chen's punches, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Ye Ming's identity was extraordinary. After being humiliated like this today, he would definitely not let it go.

In the future … Zi Chen would be in trouble.

Looking at the punches that kept falling, many people who knew Ye Ming's methods changed their expressions.

Obviously, Ye Ming had not recovered for a long time. It must be because he was suppressed.

Ye Ming could still be suppressed while multitasking. This showed how strong Zi Chen's spiritual sense was.

He was one level lower than Ye Ming, the Beast Tamer, but he could still suppress Ye Ming's strongest spiritual sense. At this moment, everyone deeply felt how terrifying Zi Chen's spiritual sense was.

At this moment, what was Ye Ming doing?

Everyone wanted to know.

In Ye Ming's sea of consciousness, light shone brightly. Ye Ming's shout resounded like thunder, "Willow Leaf Slash."

A powerful aura surged after Ye Ming's words. Ye Ming's entire body was glowing. This attack was very powerful.

However, before Ye Ming's attack landed, a fist that emitted golden light smashed into Ye Ming's face.

"Bang!"

Ye Ming was pushed back. The aura surging around him instantly dissipated.

At this moment, Ye Ming's spiritual sense was also being beaten up by Zi Chen. His face was about to turn into a pig's head.

"Zi Chen, you've gone too far."

Ye Ming shouted angrily. However, Zi Chen did not say a word. He took a step forward.

He moved extremely quickly and arrived in front of Ye Ming. Then, he punched his face again.

Ye Ming borrowed the force and flew back thousands of meters. However, Zi Chen followed him like a shadow. When Ye Ming's figure stopped, he punched again.

In the outside world, Ye Ming was passively being beaten. The people watching were speechless.

In the sea of consciousness, Ye Ming was also being beaten up.

Zi Chen was completely suppressing Ye Ming.

PS: When I came back, I realized that there was a mistake. I instantly understood that my account was hacked.

I asked the editor to check it out. It was very dramatic. A few days ago, the login of my account was already abnormal.

Someone logged into my account and gave away all the K coins ten days ago. They even used my account to leave a message. I'm speechless about this.

In the wee hours of last night, an extremely deceptive advertisement was posted.
