Only then did the consequences slowly unfold: the world would decline, you would be defeated by the combined forces of Feng and Yun, then hunted down by the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, and finally die a tragic death.
If you don't believe the prophecy of the clay bodhisattva, then treat Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Qin Shuang, Kong Ci, and others with sincerity.
How could they possibly betray us?
How could you possibly end up with such a tragic fate?
Chen Yan's words completely stunned Xiong Ba, as this was a development path he had never imagined before...
Chen Yan took a sip of tea and continued, "There is no such thing as an unchangeable outcome in this world. If there is even the slightest deviation in the process, the result will be very different."
Just like my disclosure of your future, the original outcome began to change after I spoke out.
If you, Xiong Ba, truly love and care for Nie Feng, given his kind and sentimental nature, he wouldn't hesitate to betray you, or even die for you.
As for Bu Jingyun, although he hates you to the bone.
However, he has a cold exterior but a warm interior. If you treat him sincerely, he will definitely not actually kill you to take revenge.
Furthermore, if you truly care about him and betroth him to his beloved Kong Ci, he might not be eternally grateful, but he would certainly never lay a hand on you...
Everything, all of this, stemmed from your belief in the inevitable outcome of "defeat due to fate," which led to your ultimate tragedy through layers of scheming…
After listening to Chen Yan's words.
Xiong Ba remained silent.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun also remained silent.
After a moment, Nie Feng nodded.
Yes, if Xiong Ba truly cared for him, he would never betray him.
After another dozen or so breaths, Bu Jingyun also admitted in his heart that what Chen Yan said was true, and nodded in agreement.
If Xiong Ba treated him with genuine affection and betrothed Kong Ci to him, even if he wouldn't risk his life for Xiong Ba, he would at least be unlikely to attack Xiong Ba...
Seeing Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun slowly nodding, Xiong Ba was shocked and his expression turned pale.
Is that so...
All his tragedies stemmed from his belief in the words of the clay Buddha. What was originally a good situation could only end in a miserable conclusion.
"Oh, you clay Buddha, you've really caused me, Xiong Ba, a great deal of trouble..."
Xiong Ba was furious. He thought about how he had ruined what was originally a good situation with his own hands. His heart was filled with endless bitterness and regret, and he broke down again, providing 3,000 breakdown points.
The people around them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Many people sighed.
You really can't trust the words of fortune tellers, or you'll end up in the same miserable and regretful situation as Xiong Ba.
Of course, Master Chen is an exception...
Looking at Xiong Ba's grief-stricken appearance, Chen Yan smiled and said, "...There's one more thing, Xiong Ba, do you remember what I said before?"
You think you can dominate a region and become a local overlord.
But in the end, they could only become playthings of the cunning and ruthless supreme demon, being secretly manipulated.
Do you want to dominate?
Haha, that's a huge joke.
Do you know how many powerful experts, far surpassing your own strength, are hidden in that area?
All the forces you painstakingly planned and mobilized are nothing but a joke in the eyes of those top experts.
If they wanted, they could kill you at any time, making all your hard work and effort vanish into nothingness, like a fleeting dream.
Xiong Ba was startled.
I recall Chen Yan saying before that while he appeared successful on the surface, he was actually just a puppet controlled by certain people. (Zhao Li Zhao)
Everyone around was also extremely shocked.
With the strength of a Grandmaster at its peak, and with no other experts at the very top of the Celestial Realm appearing, Xiong Ba has already reigned supreme over the martial world of the Nine Provinces.
With his strength, is he destined to become nothing more than a plaything and a puppet?
Who exactly are those hidden powerhouses, and what terrifying strength do they possess? That is to say!
Grandmasters like Yaoyue and Xie Yanke narrowed their eyes, their hearts filled with shock and suspicion.
Xiong Ba's strength is about the same as theirs. If Xiong Ba can only become a puppet of a hidden peak expert, then wouldn't we all have the same fate when facing those hidden peak experts?
Even Zhang Sanfeng, who had always been calm and collected, suddenly became serious, with a burning fighting spirit and a sense of apprehension in his eyes.
A hidden master?
Interesting, interesting.
I wonder what level they have reached, and how they compare to me, a centenarian.
It wasn't that Zhang Sanfeng had a strong competitive spirit.
As the most renowned expert in the open in the martial arts world of Kyushu, the higher one climbs, the colder it gets; experts are often lonely. Now, suddenly hearing that there are hidden figures of the same level, it's inevitable that one will make comparisons in one's mind...
Chapter 184 The Martial Arts Legend of Nameless Appears!
"Shopkeeper, are there really that many hidden top-level experts in the Great Han region?"
Even the leader of the World Society, Xiong Ba, is no match for them?
Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and the others also looked at Chen Yan with questioning eyes, full of suspicion.
Chen Yan unfolded his folding fan, shook it gently, and smiled: "Yes, in the area where Xiong Ba is located, there are simply too many peak-level experts. Even Xiong Ba's peak Grandmaster strength is no match for him."
For example, the Sword Saint of Wushuang City, after mastering 'Sword Twenty-Three', can kill Xiong Ba in one move.
Just like the legendary martial arts master Wuming, killing the Sword Saint wouldn't require much effort.
In the East, across the sea from the Han Dynasty, there are powerful figures like Jue Wushen and Quan Daoshen, who are eyeing the Han Dynasty's martial arts world with great ambition, and whose strength surpasses that of the current Xiong Ba.
Not to mention that in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty, there are also figures like Di Shitian, who has lived for two thousand years, and Xiao Sanxiao, who has lived for four thousand years, and other alternative beings who almost transcend the realm of martial arts combat power..."
As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
Could a Sword Saint who has mastered Sword Twenty-Three instantly kill Xiong Ba?
The martial arts legend, Nameless, is still alive?
In Japan, which faces the Han Dynasty across the sea, there are actually two beings stronger than Xiong Ba.
of course.
What shocked everyone even more was...
The last two pieces of information were from Chen Yan.
In the world of martial arts, there exists an ancient monster named Di Shitian who has lived for two thousand years.
And an even older monster, Xiao Sanxiao, who has lived for four thousand years?
"Are there really people who can live for two thousand or four thousand years?"
Wanwan, Wuqing, and Shi Feixuan were all dumbfounded, their expressions filled with shock!
In the world of martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng, who is over 100 years old, is considered a very old man. Even if someone lives longer than him, it is unlikely that they will live more than 50 or 60 years.
However, according to Chen Yan's words, there is actually a 757 old monster who has lived for more than two thousand years and an even older monster who has lived for more than four thousand years hidden in the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty.
Such explosive news is bound to shock and leave people in disbelief.
Xiong Ba was also completely stunned.
Chen Yan had previously said that some people could treat him like a puppet or a marionette, and he was still somewhat unconvinced.
But upon hearing Chen Yan reveal the other person's age, he froze on the spot, shocked and bitter, and broke down, generating two thousand breakdown points.
If someone could actually live for two or four thousand years, as long as they weren't outrageously stupid, even if they were a pig, after cultivating for two or four thousand years, they would most likely be stronger than Xiong Ba.
Moreover, people who can live for two or four thousand years must be the most brilliant of the brilliant, how could they be mediocre...
Zhang Sanfeng was completely numb.
I thought I was already living a long life at 100 years old.
Now, hearing Chen Yan reveal that there were beings who had lived for two thousand years and four thousand years, I was shocked, but also felt a sense of self-mockery that was both laughable and absurd.
"Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng, I never thought that you would still not understand the principle that there is always someone better at life, even at your advanced age. Someone as dull-witted as you in your youth could live to be over a hundred years old and even found the Wudang Sect."
Those with greater opportunities and fortune than you could easily live for two or four thousand years...
Thinking of this, Zhang Sanfeng smiled wryly.
There was even some joy.
Great, someone has actually lived so much longer than me. If I live another hundred or eighty years, surely no one will call me an old monster or an immortal old man...
"Master Chen, it's not that I don't believe what you're saying, it's just that what you just said was too unbelievable and hard to believe."
I wonder if there's any evidence to corroborate what you just said..."
After a moment of silence.
Xiong Ba suddenly spoke, seeking confirmation.
