It was truly unexpected for everyone that such top-tier Heaven's Chosen were begging to become Lu Chen's followers.
"Wait, this kid, he's got brains, he's trying to take a shortcut..."
Suddenly, a top-tier Heaven's Chosen expert seemed to realize something, his eyes lighting up.
The formidable strength Lu Chen currently displayed was in a league of its own in Tian Yuan Imperial City; even the Overlord Body Zhou Family's invincible Heaven's Chosen, a supreme seed, was directly defeated by his two arrows.
Moreover, due to the powerful strength and foundation Lu Chen displayed, many people investigated him and learned that Lu Chen was not old, only in his twenties.
Possessing such formidable strength at this age meant he was destined to ascend to the Great Emperor Supreme realm in the future.
It was even very possible for him to enter the peak Great Emperor Extreme realm.
By becoming Lu Chen's follower, if Lu Chen truly reached the pinnacle of the Divine Wilderness Realm in the future, then this Heaven's Chosen would also rise with him.
Purple Emblem Great Emperor was a clear example; after he entered the top-tier Great Emperor realm, many of his followers' status and strength climbed significantly, one could say they soared to prominence.
Now, if one could cling to Lu Chen's coattails, it would be much better than diligently cultivating on their own.
The many Heaven's Chosen experts around were also shrewd and saw through the Star Ancient Clan Heaven's Chosen's intentions.
Soon, many other experts also showed expressions of interest.
Becoming a follower of such a top-tier Heaven's Chosen, an invincible Great Emperor seed, was not a loss...
"Sorry, I don't accept!"
Just then, Lu Chen's clear and indifferent voice resounded in everyone's ears.
Lu Chen unhesitatingly rejected the Star Ancient Clan's Heaven's Chosen.
Hearing Lu Chen's refusal, everyone was even more dumbfounded, not expecting Lu Chen to reject him directly; this was a Heaven's Chosen of the Star Ancient Clan, with extraordinary potential.
However, thinking of Lu Chen's powerful strength and foundation, everyone somewhat understood; with such a powerful foundation himself, he would certainly have requirements for the strength and talent of his followers.
"Hand over half of your resources and treasures, and you can leave!"
Lu Chen then said to that Star Ancient Clan's Heaven's Chosen.
That Heaven's Chosen looked helpless and could only hand over half of his treasures and resources before leaving dejectedly.
Zhou Han, who was recovering not far away, saw Lu Chen reject the Star Ancient Clan's Heaven's Chosen, and his hunched back seemed to straighten a bit, feeling as if he had been acknowledged.
"Hmph, it seems I'm quite lucky to be subdued by Master!"
Zhou Han snorted lightly in his heart, feeling a faint sense of superiority.
"Zhou Han, I'll cultivate here. You go inquire about news of other lingxian tokens for me. Notify me immediately if you find anything!"
After a while, after Lu Chen collected these resources, he quickly said to Zhou Han beside him.
Now that he had a follower, Lu Chen could naturally entrust some tasks to this Zhou Han.
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhou Han quickly responded respectfully.
Although he was still injured, he could still help Lu Chen inquire about news.
Moreover, since he hadn't obtained a lingxian token himself, he naturally wanted to sabotage others' chances of getting one.
Then, Lu Chen sat down to cultivate in place, improving his strength and foundation, while Zhou Han went to other parts of Tian Yuan Imperial City to search for news of the lingxian token.
...
With Zhou Han's help, within a short day, Lu Chen decisively made two moves, seizing two more lingxian tokens, bringing Lu Chen's total to seven.
As Lu Chen continued to act, his reputation also spread, becoming widely known.
Many experts in Tian Yuan Imperial City knew about Lu Chen, this powerful Taichu Holy Lord, who, with his Golden Crow Divine Bow, had no idea how many top-tier Heaven's Chosen he had blasted.
Even more Heaven's Chosen experts had half of their cultivation resources and treasures plundered by Lu Chen.
Now, many Heaven's Chosen experts subconsciously walked away when they saw a lingxian token, fearing they would be caught by Lu Chen and lose half of their cultivation resources and various treasures.
The emergence of this phenomenon made the struggle for lingxian tokens much more relaxed.
After all, Lu Chen's Golden Crow Divine Arrow was too terrifying. After fighting desperately to obtain a lingxian token, one would still face Lu Chen's terrifying threat, so it was better not to contend.
Many Heaven's Chosen experts even started to give up, no longer contending when they discovered the whereabouts of a lingxian token.
Tian Yuan Imperial City, Central Palace.
In the sky above the Central Palace, a lingxian token radiating golden spiritual light floated in the air.
However, even though the lingxian token floated in the air, no one ventured forth to contend for it.
"Let's see which unlucky soul will come to snatch this lingxian token..."
'I bet one cent, no one dares to snatch it. Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen is too ruthless; he blasted seven top-tier Heaven's Chosen. The location of this lingxian token is so open, it's practically a natural target for arrows. Going to snatch this lingxian token isn't that just seeking death...'
"Yes, this area is too invincible for an unrivaled archer like Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen. I can't think of anyone who can evade Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen's invincible Golden Crow Divine Arrow in this area..."
"What if you dodge the first arrow? Can you dodge the second? Can you guarantee there won't be a third, a fourth?"
"Sigh, the lingxian token is there, and no one dares to snatch it. This scene is truly too bizarre..."
"But why doesn't Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen contend for it himself..."
"This must be fishing for enforcement, damn it... Randomly blasting a top-tier Heaven's Chosen allows him to collect a large amount of treasures and also harvest half from the onlookers. Who would dare to recklessly seize treasures?"
"That makes sense. Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen is definitely watching from the shadows, ready to strike and kill at any moment..."
At the edge of the Central Palace, there were many Heaven's Chosen experts, all standing at the periphery, wanting to see the fate of this lingxian token.
As for contending for this lingxian token, no one had any intention.
Lu Chen's seven consecutive blasts were too brutal; no one dared to bet whether Lu Chen was watching from afar...
At that time, it wouldn't just be about not getting the lingxian token.
One would also have to gamble whether they could withstand Lu Chen's arrow.
Among the first seven, several couldn't withstand Lu Chen's Golden Crow Divine Arrow and were blasted to death by a single arrow.
This also led to no one daring to snatch the lingxian token in this Central Palace, not even daring to try to test it.
After all, this might not be a lingxian token; it might be a death warrant.
The many Heaven's Chosen around were not in a hurry. Since they didn't dare to contend for the lingxian token now, they could only watch the excitement around it.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
Just then, the space around the Central Palace twisted, and a figure seemed to slowly emerge from the distorted space.
"They're here, they're here! Who is this general, so bold as to dare to seize even the Central Palace's lingxian token..."
"Bets are open, bets are open! Let's see how long that unlucky soul can live..."
'Does this even need betting? He won't live for more than a breath. This archer's vision is too invincible; there's no avoiding it, no blocking it...'
"Laughable, someone actually dares to make a move. They must not have experienced Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen's beating yet..."
"It's fine, they'll be obedient after they taste Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen's blast later..."
"Emmm, should we move further away? What if Taichu Holy Lord Lu Chen finishes off that guy and then comes to us for half of our treasures and resources?"
"Good point, good point, we should move further away..."
'Damn, brother, you reminded me, I need to move further away, it's too dangerous...'
As the space in the Central Palace area twisted, the surrounding Heaven's Chosen experts who were watching all spoke, their eyes filled with mockery.
Some Heaven's Chosen experts also remembered Lu Chen's tradition of collecting half from onlookers and silently retreated a distance.
