123: Big brother?

In the sky, Long Ming still watched Lin Chuan, like a still picture.

Billions of people could only squint at the screen, unable to bear looking directly at the scene that was about to unfold.

On the surface, it looked like a giant beast was about to devour someone at any moment, but in reality… “Brother, I’m about to transform into a Human. I haven’t seen other Human Race members. Can I use your appearance as a reference?”

Long Ming’s telepathic voice was surprisingly a little shy.

Lin Chuan: “…”

After all that, this guy had been staying in the sky for so long without coming down, just to sculpt a face!

Lin Chuan naturally had no objection, only asking him not to make it too similar, otherwise, it would be too strange.

A moment later, a flash of light swept by.

The giant beast disappeared, and a young man in a dark purple robe appeared in the air.

The young man had starry brows and sword-like eyes, possessing an extraordinary Aura.

In a blink of an eye, he appeared beside Lin Chuan.

“It really is a King Rank… Finally, is it going to end?”

In the live stream, there was a chorus of lamentation.

Lin Chuan looked at the young man in front of him, who only bore one or two points of resemblance to himself, and felt relieved. Moreover, he was even a tiny bit handsomer than himself… But, who told the other party to be his big brother? He was only eighteen, still had room to become handsomer… As the other party had transformed into a human form, calling him “big brother” felt even more natural.

So, Lin Chuan smiled and said, “Big brother, congratulations!”

“Haha, thank you, good brother…”

Saying that, Long Ming directly gave Lin Chuan a bear hug.

“…”

In the live stream, billions of people fell silent simultaneously.

“This… I didn’t see wrong, did I?”

“Big brother? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”

“Heh heh… Who’ll slap me? I’ll pay.”

“The person upstairs, wait, I’m flying over right now…”

That single cry of “big brother” shattered countless jaws.

What kind of divine development was this?

Even the best storytellers in Xuanwu City wouldn’t dare to write something like this.

“Pfft…”

Qin Yan and the other two, who were originally drowning their sorrows in alcohol, directly spat their drinks all over each other’s faces.

Then, they were utterly dumbfounded.

“Damn it, this brat, making me worry for nothing. I haven’t cried in over twenty years! When he comes back, I’ll show him.”

Saying that, Qin Yan wiped the corners of his eyes.

“Do you still dare to beat him? Look at his big brother, haha…”

Xia Yuan swept away his previous gloom and laughed loudly.

“Hmph, this brat used to cry and beg to inherit my legacy. What’s wrong with a beating? At most, I’ll give him everything.”

“You wish…” Minister Jin quipped.

“Hahahaha…”

Saying that, the three laughed heartily, drinking continuously.

… “Brother, this Secret Realm is about to collapse. You should leave quickly.”

“Huh?”

Only then did Lin Chuan realize such a thing was happening.

“Don’t worry, it will return to normal as soon as I leave the Secret Realm.”

With that explanation, Lin Chuan understood.

What was originally just a Monarch Rank Secret Realm was now being stretched to its breaking point by the strongest King Rank being crammed inside.

White Moon had disappeared to who knows where. Lin Chuan had planned to say goodbye to her one last time.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to teleport out, he suddenly saw a strange bird flying over from afar.

As the strange bird got closer, he realized there was also a Man in Black riding on it.

“Lin Chuan? I didn’t expect you to be hiding here. It seems you’re sealed and can’t get out, hahahaha…”

The Man in Black laughed strangely.

As for the person next to Lin Chuan, he automatically ignored him.

“…”

Lin Chuan fell silent.

Billions of viewers fell silent.

The BOSS of the Demon God Cult fell silent.

The many King Ranks, both overt and covert, of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace also fell silent.

“You know him?”

Finally, Long Ming asked.

“No, he’s probably here to hunt me down.”

Lin Chuan said indifferently.

“Heh heh…”

Long Ming chuckled softly.

Then, he waved his hand.

An invisible whirlwind of Qi instantly enveloped and shredded the Man in Black and the strange bird.

In less than a second, only a cloud of blood mist remained in the air.

They didn’t even have time to scream.

“Go out, I’ll come find you.”

“Mm.”

Lin Chuan nodded, then directly teleported out.

With that, the live broadcast finally ended.

Long Ming naturally knew about the existence of the live broadcast, but he didn’t care at all.

Finally, he glanced at the waters where he had lived for several hundred years, and with a flicker, he too disappeared.

When Lin Chuan emerged, he appeared directly on the sports field of Third High School.

Although only 4 days had passed in the outside world, he had experienced a full 20 days inside.

The various thrilling and indescribable events were difficult to put into words.

Stepping onto the ground of Third High School again gave him a feeling of being in a different era.

This place was already surrounded, packed to the brim.

This included the guarding soldiers, the examination teachers, the students of Third High School, and Lan Lan and others.

Lin Chuan looked around, seeing their gazes as if they were looking at some rare species. He finally couldn’t take it anymore, greeted Lan Lan, and directly retreated… With Lin Chuan’s exit from the Secret Realm, this year’s College Entrance Examination finally concluded.

It was originally thought to be just an ordinary College Entrance Examination, as there is one every year.

Unexpectedly, so many twists and turns emerged, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.

Especially the fallen Geniuses, which was regrettable.

In the inner city, the Nine Venerables were furious.

Within a few days, Xing Yan burned hundreds of implicated individuals, as well as some incompetent officials, to death. Without trial, they were directly burned to ashes in public.

Even those with minor transgressions were directly cast into the abyss, never to be reinstated.

These fellows seemed to have forgotten why they were able to enjoy peaceful days.

The Nine Venerables Families, who usually had some disagreements, also began to unite and conduct a major purge of the entire Xuanwu City.

Especially the Long Family and the Xia Family.

Long Chenhao was seriously injured, and the Long Family issued an order for an unending feud with the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

As for the Xia Family, although Xia Siye was unharmed, they hated the Ten Thousand Demon Palace even more. Xia Yuan, in particular, personally led a team to eradicate several Ten Thousand Demon Palace strongholds.

The other major Families, while not reacting as strongly as the Long and Xia Families, were also actively cooperating openly.

For a time, the atmosphere was tense and filled with apprehension.

The Ten Thousand Demon Palace and the Yao Beasts colluded, with their main base actually outside the city. The city only contained some infiltrated branches.

But organizations like the Demon God Cult, with their Foundation within the city, suffered greatly.

Normally, everyone might turn a blind eye, fearing retaliation, but now was a time of major purges.

It was the perfect time to kick someone while they were down. Thus, under the leadership of the Beast Tamer Association in various regions, many other law-abiding forces also joined in, participating in the crackdown on evil forces.

This grand encirclement would be enough to keep the Demon God Cult and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace quiet for a while.

After the purge, Xuanwu City’s public security significantly improved; at least, overt kidnappings or attacks no longer dared to occur.

However, the tense atmosphere did not ease, especially in the outer city, where defense forces were continuously increased.

On the city walls, the spiritual energy cannons, usually just for show, had been polished to a gleaming shine at some unknown point.
