The Immortal Celestial Emperor was dumbfounded.
How could this be?
He was clearly telling the truth.
Why didn't anyone believe him?
Why did this unexpected situation occur?
Why were Xu Fengqiu and the others fine when they left?
He didn't know either.
The Immortal Celestial Emperor even suspected, 'Damn it, was one of those guys a jinxed star back then?'
Now, it looked as if he, the Immortal Celestial Emperor, was deliberately trying to harm these people.
He wasn't!
"Celestial Sovereign, Celestial Emperor, misunderstanding! It's definitely a misunderstanding!" The Immortal Celestial Emperor quickly shouted.
He was a fifth-level Celestial Emperor, while the Celestial Sovereign Celestial Emperor was an eighth-level.
He, the Immortal Celestial Emperor, was definitely no match.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? This old man has lost an arm! What misunderstanding could there be?" The Celestial Sovereign Celestial Emperor asked, his eyes narrowed.
The others also looked at the Immortal Celestial Emperor and the others with resentment.
Their friends, their clansmen, their fellow disciples—too many had perished because they had listened to the slander of the Immortal Celestial Emperor and the others.
And they themselves were seriously injured.
They hadn't gained any benefits.
How could they not be resentful?
The Immortal Celestial Emperor gritted his teeth and looked at the crowd, asking, "Everyone, I don't know why everything returned to normal afterward, but consider this: what would be the point of me deceiving you? You must know that I went with you, and I didn't abandon you."
"Then explain why you said Young Master Xu was a jinxed star, but he and his few companions were fine when they left? Twice! Is that a jinxed star? Look at us, we're in such a miserable state! Explain!"
The Immortal Celestial Emperor felt that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation,
he would be in danger; he would really be wiped out.
Explain… explain… how to explain?
He didn't know either.
Why were Xu Fengqiu and his group in such danger when they were together?
Moreover, it was extremely obvious that any ill intentions towards Xu Fengqiu would immediately lead to trouble.
This made the Immortal Celestial Emperor believe that Xu Fengqiu was the problem.
But why were Xu Fengqiu and others—first two people, then a dozen—completely fine?
This was unreasonable.
Could a jinxed star be controlled?
That was impossible!
I've got it!
The Immortal Celestial Emperor suddenly understood.
"What?"
Everyone stared at the Immortal Celestial Emperor.
The Immortal Celestial Emperor suddenly pointed at Xiao Chen: "It's Xiao Chen!"
Xiao Chen: ???
"No…"
Xiao Chen looked dumbfounded.
The Immortal Celestial Emperor pointed at Xiao Chen and said, "He was the one who spread the rumor that Xu Fengqiu was a jinxed star from the very beginning."
"Ah, right!"
Sword Emperor Qi Heng quickly said, "I remember clearly, it was him! From the very beginning, even before we encountered any danger, Xiao Chen said that Xu Fengqiu was a jinxed star."
Mo Qianqiu also quickly stepped forward: "That's right. At first, we, like you, didn't believe it. We thought it was a joke. So, we gave all the choices to Brother Xu to prove that he wasn't a jinxed star. Even though he chose the most difficult options several times, we still believed he wasn't a jinxed star."
Huang Tianhao: "That's how it was, but as more and more strange things kept happening, and Xiao Chen kept fueling the flames, everyone eventually thought Brother Xu was a jinxed star."
Huang Tianhao also shook his head and sighed, "I'm ashamed to say that I was also deceived. I hope everyone can forgive me."
"No…"
Xiao Chen looked at those people in confusion.
Why were all the accusations directed at him, Xiao Chen?
What was his problem?
Damn it!
What a disgusting group of people.
They didn't really think Xu Fengqiu wasn't a jinxed star.
They must still think Xu Fengqiu was a problem.
However, given the current situation,
they had to say things against their will.
They even directed all the accusations at him, Xiao Chen.
He, Xiao Chen, was just a scapegoat.
Mo Qianqiu also quickly said, "That's right. Now, Brother Xu is with others without any problems, but we have been plagued with bad luck. I now suspect that Xiao Chen is the jinxed star."
"Yes, yes, yes! I suggest that getting rid of Xiao Chen is the top priority."
The Immortal Celestial Emperor nodded repeatedly:
"Yes! He started the jinxed star topic. Now, Brother Xu can be excluded as the jinxed star, but we have experienced strange things, confirming the existence of a jinxed star, and that's Xiao Chen."
"This Xiao Chen has a dirty heart. He knows he's a jinxed star, knows that unfortunate things will happen, so he deliberately said it to make everyone think Young Master Xu was the jinxed star, trying to use the jinxed star excuse to eliminate Young Master Xu."
"Kill him!"
"…"
Huang Tianhao also put on a righteous appearance: "Xiao Chen, I trusted you wrongly. Before, when I suspected you and asked why Brother Xu was a jinxed star, yet he could still defy the heavens, you said he was absorbing the luck of others. I temporarily believed you, but now I think about it, I was too foolish, too naive."
Immortal Celestial Emperor: "Yes! I was also deceived."
"Kill him!"
"…"
Subsequently, the attention of those experts all fell on Xiao Chen.
Crack, crack, crack—
Xiao Chen clenched his fists.
"Good, good, good! So this is how you all treat me?"
"Huang Tianhao, you are just a despicable and shameless villain. What kind of phoenix holy son are you? I spit on you!"
Xiao Chen then pointed at the Immortal Celestial Emperor, Saber Emperor, and others: "You so-called experts are all a bunch of cowards who fear death and change with the wind. In the end, you are all stepping stones for me, Xiao Chen."
"I, Xiao Chen, will say it here: within three years, I will avenge today's humiliation. None of you will escape. I will surely kill you all!"
After speaking, Xiao Chen rushed into the sea.
"Chase him!"
"Ding… Xiao Chen provokes many experts, Fate Value -1,000,000, current Fate Value: 7,465,666, your System Value increases by 10,000,000."
"Want to chase me?" Xiao Chen revealed a cold smile.
Then, Xiao Chen took out a fish bone he had secretly obtained and threw it into the sea.
A terrifying vortex appeared in the water, directly swallowing Xiao Chen.
This was a memory from his previous life.
He only knew that someone in his previous life had obtained this fish bone, and then he used the fish bone to disappear here.
Where he went, Xiao Chen didn't know.
But later, he still appeared in the place where Ye Feng entered the main hall.
So, although the path he was taking was different from his previous life, Xiao Chen had no choice.
He could only run first.
As long as he could get to that place.
As for the key to the main hall, he believed it was still this blue spiritual pearl.
"Xu Fengqiu, we'll meet again! Hmph!"
Afterward, Xiao Chen disappeared from everyone's sight.
Swish—
Everyone was in an uproar.
"How did Xiao Chen know there was a mechanism in the sea?"
"What? Judging by the situation, he might be teleported to at least the location of the sub-hall."
"It seems that Xiao Chen knows some things we don't!"
"…"
Xu Fengqiu was very calm.
He already knew that Xiao Chen knew these things.
Let him go, it didn't matter.
Anyway, the ultimate goal was to create laws and the Heavenly Soul Totem.
