No Way Home, Greater Charges

With the arrival of the first group of people, the news about the Kunlun Dragon Vein was finally made public.

The Great Xia Martial Arts Guild announced that the Kunlun Dragon Vein remained intact and unharmed.

This announcement brought a collective sigh of relief to countless citizens of Great Xia.

The heavy cloud of anxiety that had weighed on everyone’s hearts finally began to dissipate.

But what followed was heartbreaking news.

The casualties in this fierce battle to defend the Dragon Vein had reached a staggering number—one that many found hard to accept.

Then came the last three videos from Kunlun Mountain.

However, the Martial Arts Guild deliberately edited out footage of the giant serpent inside the Four Symbols’ Heavenly Abyss.

Also, nothing was revealed about the Cold Pond and the perilous lands lurking beyond it.

All the video thumbnails uniformly featured scenes of Chen Feng slaughtering the invaders.

The headline read:

[The Final Battle of Great Xia’s Hero!]

Chen Feng’s reappearance instantly ignited heated discussions across the entire internet.

“Is that member of the Swallowing Heaven Club still alive?”

“Don’t spread rumors. Haven’t you seen the Martial Arts Guild has already denied it? Chen Feng is not a member of the Swallowing Heaven Club.”

“It’s just that Chen Feng’s identity is too mysterious. It’s rumored he shares the same background as Zhang Bowen.”

“Too bad it’s always this guy saving people, only to be hunted down afterwards.”

“Experts have declared Chen Feng dead multiple times. Do you think he’ll survive this time?”

...

Among the three videos, the first showed the defense at the mountain entrance, where the Yelü family betrayed them.

Then came various life-or-death battles.

The most crucial part was the footage of Chen Feng’s final act to save everyone.

With the power of the Seven Absolute Melody Wave, tens of thousands of invaders were slaughtered and forced into retreat.

For a moment, the entire internet was ablaze with excitement.

But in the end, an even more formidable enemy appeared.

It was none other than Great Xia’s most wanted fugitive—the immortal Zhang Bowen.

Chen Feng was no match for Zhang Bowen.

Wounded, he collapsed but sacrificed himself by luring Zhang Bowen away from the mountain exit.

This bought the remaining top warriors of Great Xia a chance to escape.

At the end, the whole internet mourned deeply.

“How did the nightmare of Great Xia appear at such a critical moment?”

“Whether or not he’s a member of the Swallowing Heaven Club, it doesn’t change the fact that Chen Feng is a hero of Great Xia.”

“I even criticized Chen Feng before. I really deserve to be ashamed.”

“The hero’s bones are barely cold, and now his disciple is still suffering online abuse.”

“Who’s bullying Chen Feng’s disciple online? I’ll bring my online army to crush them.”

...

Before the Yelü family’s downfall, their entire clan was exposed for using the Star-Absorbing Technique.

The Martial Arts Guild faced a crisis of trust.

Meanwhile, debates raged endlessly online over whether Chen Feng was truly a member of the Swallowing Heaven Club.

Many believed that some of the powerful elites might secretly practice the Star-Absorbing Technique.

Later, as more videos of Chen Feng rescuing people on Kunlun Mountain surfaced, the number of people convinced that Chen Feng was not a member of the Swallowing Heaven Club grew.

However, a significant portion of the public still harbored strong aversion toward Chen Feng for using the Star-Absorbing Technique.

Now, with the final battle videos released and the Martial Arts Guild’s speculation about Chen Feng’s background, the fact that Chen Feng could use the Star-Absorbing Technique gradually gained wider acceptance.

After all, the truth proved that the Star-Absorbing Technique wasn’t exclusive to the Swallowing Heaven Club.

Moreover, Chen Feng saved many people in Great Xia and slaughtered countless invaders.

Chen Feng had become a hero in the hearts of countless people.

At this moment, Jin Youxi and Liu Weiwei were inside the hotel, watching the news, holding each other tightly as they wept uncontrollably.

Especially when they saw Chen Feng being defeated by Zhang Bowen, who wielded a sword, their hearts felt as if they were being twisted by a knife.

“Master was so foolish. Why didn’t he run?”

“Why is it always him saving others? Why does no one come to save Master?”

Jin Youxi cried so hard that she didn’t even notice the snot running into her mouth.

Liu Weiwei wiped her tears but still refused to give up, trying to comfort her:

“Senior sister, don’t be so upset. Today is still the last day.”

“Kunlun Mountain hasn’t been closed off yet. Maybe Master can still escape and come back.”

“Every time before, it was the same. Everyone said Master was doomed.”

“But Master always managed to turn danger into safety and save others.”

Jin Youxi sobbed and nodded repeatedly.

“Yeah, let’s wait for Master together. He will definitely come back.”

“Master is so kind; he must be rewarded for his goodness.”

……

In Shengdu,

As the latest news about Kunlun Mountain was announced,

the number of protesters at the Martial Arts Guild headquarters square gradually dwindled.

Xu Lan was so furious that her teeth were grinding as she shouted at the news:

“Are you kidding me? Wasn’t he supposed to be dead already?”

“Those foreign devils are useless, they can’t even kill one Chen.”

“Still, that handsome young guy at the end was impressive.”

“Chen, this time I want to see if you live or die!”

Her furious voice made the last few dozen protesters who stood with her frown.

“What’s wrong with this person? How can he side with the enemy?”

“Even if we hate the Tun Tian Club, we can’t support that demon.”

“The Daxia people who died at Zhang Bowen’s hands weren’t fewer than those from Tun Tian Club.”

“Besides, the Absorbing Star Technique is no longer exclusive to Tun Tian Club.”

In the end, these people quietly left as well.

After Xu Lan finished cursing, she turned around,

only to find there were barely a dozen people left.

She immediately shouted:

“Where did the others go?”

Actually, those last dozen people were also thinking of leaving.

But all the bottled water and boxed meals they had during this long protest were provided by Xu Lan.

They felt it would be inappropriate to leave without saying goodbye.

Seeing Xu Lan finish cursing, they said one after another:

“The others have all left.”

“There are only a few of us left.”

“Sis Xu, I have something at home, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Sis Xu, I think you should go home too.”

Xu Lan’s eyes widened in anger as she said:

“What do you mean by this?”

“You’ve eaten and drank for free for so many days, and now you just leave?”

“Isn’t that money of mine wasted?”

“You’re not allowed to leave. Our protest has to succeed.”

Xu Lan was desperate.

If everyone left,

how could she protest alone?

Not only would she miss out on the one million yuan reward, but she would also lose tens of thousands of yuan she had spent.

It would be a total loss.

Hearing Xu Lan’s words,

the crowd immediately saw what kind of person she really was.

With things said to this extent,

the remaining people no longer bothered to be polite.

They all wore stern faces and turned to leave.

Seeing that no one paid her any attention,

Xu Lan became furious.

“You ungrateful wolves, you’re not allowed to leave!”

“Spit out everything you’ve eaten from me!”

She angrily stepped forward and grabbed the nearest middle-aged woman.

The elderly woman immediately started tearing at her.

At that moment, inside the headquarters of the Martial Arts Guild, two people who had been tailing the scene saw their chance and quickly led a group rushing out.

They directly surrounded Xu Lan.

“How dare you brawl right at the entrance of the Martial Arts Guild? All of you, you’re under arrest.”

Xu Lan hadn’t expected that the usually tightly shut Martial Arts Guild would suddenly make a move against her.

“On what grounds are you arresting me?”

A staff member sneered coldly.

“Because you were fighting in a public place.”

“You’re also suspected of slandering Chen Feng without any evidence.”

“And these protests over the past few days? They’re deliberate disturbances of public order.”

“Using others’ misfortune as a tool for illegal gatherings to profit yourself.”

As the staff member spoke, he pointed to the marble floor in the square.

It was greasy and stained from the collective boxed lunches eaten over the past few days, with several cracked marble tiles.

“You’re suspected of polluting public property.”

“Maliciously damaging public assets.”

“Illegally occupying public resources.”

Listening to the long list of accusations, Xu Lan immediately roared in anger:

“You bastards! Don’t think I don’t know this is all revenge!”

“You’re—”

Before she could finish, the staff member promptly told the person taking notes beside him:

“Add one more charge: maliciously insulting Martial Arts Guild personnel.”

That pushed Xu Lan over the edge.

She lunged forward, grabbing the staff member’s collar.

“I’m going to fight you to the death!”

The staff member remained calm and said:

“Add another charge: openly assaulting Martial Arts Guild personnel.”

Xu Lan was so furious she nearly lost her breath.

“You, you, you—”

Her vision darkened, and she fainted.

The staff member said:

“Add two more: maliciously staging accidents and attempting extortion.”

“Also, I was just injured, which counts as intentional injury.”

“I’m heading to the hospital for a checkup now.”
