Hong Family, the top shaman in China

Just as Lin Xuan was locked in a fierce battle with the BOSS, outside, at the edge of Divine Grace Cemetery, in the temporarily erected central military tent, Li Yunfei had asked about the events inside Guanghan Palace five or six times already.

Zhang Fan and the others could almost recite it backward by now.

However, this news was still hard for the high-ranking individuals present to accept.

The news of Lin Xuan killing a demigod-level Demon was like saying an ant bit a person to death.

They simply couldn't believe it was true.

It was too outrageous.

How was Lin Xuan unaffected by divine pressure?

And how did he manage to break through defenses?

They were stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

Among them were several members of large professional families who had come to provide support.

One of them was from the Hong Family, one of the top three families in Jianghai City.

The Hong Family differed from families like Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen, whose main business was commerce.

They relied on martial prowess.

It was said that even before the Great Cataclysm, they had become one of the top families in Jianghai City by relying on the Hong Family's Iron Thread Fist.

After the Great Cataclysm, they relied even more on their family's genetic martial arts talent.

Almost all family members could transfer to professions related to boxing, and even awaken related talents.

At this moment, seated in the military tent was Hong Chen, the fifth young master of the Hong Family's younger generation.

In fact, for a large family of their caliber, their advantages far surpassed many other professionals.

This was not only reflected in the professions they awakened but also in the awakening time!

It should be known that most professionals could only undergo a unified profession transfer when they were close to the college entrance examination in their third year of high school.

But families like theirs, relying on their family's strength, could transfer immediately as soon as they turned eighteen!

Therefore, although Hong Chen was only one year older than Lin Xuan, his level had already reached ninety-nine.

Furthermore, because he attended a military academy, he could enter dungeons to earn military merits.

His status was not low.

At this moment, hearing everyone around him marveling at Lin Xuan, as a favored son of heaven, he naturally felt a bit uncomfortable.

In fact, this wasn't the first time Hong Chen had heard Lin Xuan's name.

As early as a week ago, Hong Chen had already formed an opinion about Lin Xuan.

At that time, he learned that there was a transfer book for the hidden profession of Blue Fist in Mingzhu University's academic credit exchange store.

This profession was too suitable for their family.

He immediately contacted his friend at Mingzhu University.

However, his friend was busy, and by the time they received his message, the transfer book had already been exchanged!

Checking the school's exchange history records, it turned out to be Lin Xuan who had exchanged it.

Normally, he wouldn't mind being preempted like this.

But his friend told him that Lin Xuan didn't use the transfer book himself after exchanging it.

Instead, he sold it to a friend!

He was furious at the time.

He had been planning to find an opportunity to teach Lin Xuan a lesson.

But he never expected that when he saw Lin Xuan today, the other party first discovered the cause of the Divine Grace Cemetery's anomaly, and then achieved the earth-shattering feat of God-slaying.

It should be known that Lin Xuan was the first person to achieve the feat of God-slaying to date!

The Soul Fire of the newly promoted Fourth-Order Professional from Blue Star who had provoked that formidable individual in the Journey to the West Relic was still lit.

This meant that the important figure in the Relic was a mythical figure from the lawful alignment.

At that time, he did not kill the Fourth-Order Professional.

He merely imprisoned him somewhere.

Of course, only members of large families knew about this matter.

After all, the incident was too shocking at the time, and the news of the death could deter some small fry, preventing anyone from fearlessly entering the Relic and implicating others.

“Phew…” Hong Chen let out a long breath, secretly glad he hadn't provoked Lin Xuan back then.

But he was also a bit unconvinced.

He really wanted to know how Lin Xuan achieved God-slaying.

“Necromancer, Lin Xuan…”

“His talent ability should be as rumored: high HP and true damage!”

“In another month, it will be the once-in-a-decade Star Auction.”

“If he can come out safely, I can invite him to participate.”

“However, my second sister doesn't like people of the Necromancer profession, so it would be bad if a conflict arose.”

“Forget it, if a conflict really does arise, it would be a good chance to see his strength in person…”

Just as Hong Chen was deep in thought, the atmosphere in the military tent suddenly shifted.

“Everyone should be aware of student Lin Xuan’s value.”

“Now he is in danger, and according to Zhang Fan’s description, the one who acted from behind should be a monarch-level creature from the Divine Grace Cemetery.”

“This matter clearly needs to be reported to Senior Li, so he can act to rescue Lin Xuan.”

Li Yunfei pondered for a moment and said.

As the supreme commander handling the Divine Grace Cemetery anomaly this time, he naturally held most of the authority.

However, upon hearing this, someone was unwilling.

“No!”

A dissenting voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned to look.

It was a man of short stature with somewhat dark skin.

His name was Li Chunsen.

He was a top-tier Second-Order Shaman professional, renowned in the dungeon and having accumulated many military merits.

According to military rank, he was on par with Li Yunfei.

However, his overall strategic vision was lacking, so he was considered a deputy this time.

“Report what, report what, Brother Li, you’re too timid, aren’t you?”

Li Chunsen said sarcastically, “Once it’s reported, do you know how many major matters it will affect?”

“Currently, the Fourth-Order Demon that appeared in Sakura Country is already fighting with Senior Li.”

“If he finds out about this, it’s a small matter to say we handled things poorly.”

“If it affects his battle, then it’s a big deal.”

“Don’t forget.”

“Now a Fourth-Order Demon has also appeared in Blue Eagle Country.”

“Clearly, this is the Otherworld Demonic Realm, using the breakthrough of a Fifth-Order, leading a group of top-tier Third-Order Demons to sweep through the large secret realms there.”

“If Senior Li is distracted, and that Demon from Sakura Country runs to Blue Eagle Country to team up against Senior Einstein, then our Blue Star’s crisis will further expand!”

Li Chunsen spoke without reservation.

The others in the military tent gradually nodded upon hearing this.

Although Li Chunsen usually lacked strategic vision, he was right on this matter.

After all, no one expected the Otherworld to produce a Fifth-Order professional before Blue Star.

If Blue Star had a Fifth-Order, they could absolutely lead the Fifth-Order to sweep through some relics with chaotic alignment mythical figures, forcibly stacking two to three Fourth-Order professionals.

It’s just a pity that the Otherworld took a step ahead in this matter.

Now, Blue Star could be said to be in precarious danger.

If the the compliant golden-hooped rod in Guanghan Palace killed that Fifth-Order Otherworld Demon, it would be fine.

But if it didn't kill it, and the opponent dodged the the compliant golden-hooped rod's attack and recovered from their injuries, then Blue Star would enter a global alert state!

“As I see it, Lin Xuan’s matter can only rely on himself.”

“Our most important task here is to guard the edge of Divine Grace Cemetery.”

“Prevent those Demons from breaking out.”

Li Chunsen’s words were sharp, and Li Yunfei slammed his hand on the table!

“Are you suggesting we abandon such a person with infinite potential?!”

“He is the one Senior Li has publicly vowed to protect in Xinghuo!”

“That’s under normal circumstances! Now it’s a special situation!”

“What’s wrong with giving up? An un-grown genius is not a genius!”

“You…”

The two were at loggerheads, neither giving way.

Just as they were about to come to blows—

Boom—!

Just then, the sky was covered with thunderclouds, and a strong wind howled.

The entire world darkened.

Many lightning bolts flashed in the clouds.

“Is this… going to rain?”

“No, this is…”

Li Yunfei stared intently at the sky.

Crack!

A startling thunderclap exploded in the sky.

Purple lightning illuminated the entire world.

Then, a figure was seen in mid-air, bathed in countless lightning bolts.

And above that figure’s head, a golden medal was spinning wildly!

That was…

“The number one Shaman in the country!”

Someone recognized him and exclaimed.

And in the next moment, that figure swooped down and crashed into the central military tent.

Boom—!

A large crater was formed in the tent.

Countless electric arcs splattered around.

When everyone’s vision cleared again, they saw a middle-aged man in thunder armor, wearing glasses, with a refined look.

He held a giant lightning hammer.

He adjusted his glasses and stared intently at everyone present.

“Li Chunsen, are you tired of living?”

“You dare to suggest abandoning my student?!”
