CHAPTER 774: CHAPTER 774 WATCH THIS!

Outside the First Demon Cave.

Jang Chenglong stood arrogantly.

Next to the Achievement Wall.

The scene was deathly silent.

It had been another half-hour since Jang Chenglong’s shocking results were revealed.

Qin Chen was still nowhere to be seen.

Qin Chen had been inside the First Demon Cave for two hours now.

The murmurs of speculation began to rise with the passage of time.

"Why hasn’t Qin Chen come out yet?"

"Could he have died in there?"

"That’s impossible, right? After all, I haven’t heard of anyone going into the First Demon Cave and ending up dead inside."

"..."

The chatter continued non-stop.

By this time, Dao Xiaoyao and the others’ expressions also slightly changed.

"Could it be that Qin Chen couldn’t bear the pressure, gave his all, and ultimately paid with his life?"

"Or perhaps he knew he would eventually perish, so he chose to end himself within the Demon Cave?"

Suddenly, Ren Mo chuckled and spoke.

Gave his all and paid with his life?

Ended himself?

As Ren Mo’s words echoed.

Everyone was taken aback.

Although what Ren Mo suggested seemed somewhat laughable,

It wasn’t impossible.

Indeed, Qin Chen’s time spent inside the First Demon Cave was exceedingly long.

Unnaturally long.

Even for a fierce struggle, would one really spend a full two hours inside?

"Without any evidence, don’t just spout nonsense!!"

Ren Mo’s words made Dao Xiaoyao’s heart skip a beat.

Immediately, her pretty face showed a hint of anger as she shouted at Ren Mo.

"Whether I’m talking nonsense, time will tell."

Under normal circumstances, Ren Mo naturally would be wary of Dao Xiaoyao’s anger.

But now, with Jang Chenglong present to back him up, even facing Dao Xiaoyao, there was no trace of timidity on Ren Mo’s face.

Instead, he kept a calm and light smile.

"She’s right, without any evidence, don’t just spout nonsense."

But, just then, a voice rang out.

Ren Mo’s previously smiling face froze immediately.

Dao Xiaoyao and the others were also struck with stunned expressions.

Everyone turned their heads toward the First Demon Cave.

There, they could vaguely see a figure slowly walking out.

Eventually, the figure emerged from the First Demon Cave.

Appearing within everyone’s line of sight.

It was Qin Chen!

"Qin Chen!!"

Upon seeing Qin Chen, Dao Xiaoyao let out an exclamation of surprise.

"Big brother."

Little Strange was also extremely excited, calling out twice to Qin Chen.

After two hours.

Qin Chen finally emerged from the First Demon Cave.

Qin Chen smiled and nodded to Dao Xiaoyao and the others in greeting.

Then, his eyes turned toward Ren Mo.

Those sharp, sword-like eyes instantly made Ren Mo’s complexion pale.

"Spewing nonsense behind people’s backs, Jang Chenglong, is this the style of your Moon Howling Heavenly Sect Disciples?"

Seeing Ren Mo’s instantly pale face, Qin Chen let out a cold laugh, then looked toward Jang Chenglong.

Jang Chenglong’s expression halted, unable to answer.

His eyes glared fiercely at Ren Mo.

After which, Jang Chenglong scrutinized Qin Chen from head to toe.

A hint of a smile then appeared on his face.

"It seems you didn’t have such a great time in that Demon Cave," Jang Chenglong deliberately said.

At this moment, Qin Chen indeed looked somewhat worse for wear.

His clothes were slightly tattered, with faint traces of blood visible.

Upon seeing this, everyone knew that Qin Chen had just gone through a very difficult battle.

"It seems that Ren Mo was right..."

"Qin Chen spent such a long time inside, he must have only been dealing with those Conception Stone Statues."

Seeing this, some people made such definitive statements.

"Why bother?"

Jang Chenglong watched Qin Chen with a hint of scorn in his gaze and said.

Qin Chen ignored him and did not speak again; instead, he turned his head to look at the Achievement Wall next to him.

"Eighty-ninth?"

Qin Chen found Jang Chenglong’s ranking.

Surprise showed in his eyes.

A hint of an unsurprised smile also appeared on Jang Chenglong’s face.

He said, "You spent such a long time inside, I wonder what kind of score you got?"

"It couldn’t be worse than mine, could it?"

While Jang Chenglong maintained a smile on his face, his words rang with an obvious tone of "praise to kill."

First, lift Qin Chen to the highest position.

That way, when he falls, it will hurt all the more.

Anger appeared on the faces of Dao Xiaoyao and others.

This Jang Chenglong truly had no shame.

"Now, it looks like Qin Chen is going to take a hard fall."

In the Imperial City Square, many people shook their heads and said.

It was clear that Jang Chenglong would not miss any opportunity to target Qin Chen.

He planned to thoroughly crush every aspect of Qin Chen.

"Qin Chen..." Sheng Xuefu clenched her fists.

So many people were watching.

She really couldn’t bear to witness the scene where Qin Chen was "praised to kill" by Jang Chenglong.

Such a scene would be too cruel for anyone.

"What do you think Qin Chen’s ranking could be?"

"I guess two hundredth."

"At most, it wouldn’t exceed one hundred and fiftieth."

"After all, if it weren’t for Jang Chenglong, his score might seem remarkable."

"But with Jang Chenglong there, his score will undoubtedly look very sad."

People chatted idly.

"You only managed to get an eighty-ninth place?"

Qin Chen looked at Jang Chenglong with a strange expression.

The previously smiling Jang Chenglong.

Upon hearing Qin Chen’s words, his expression instantly stiffened.

Everyone around was also stunned.

Only managed to get?

What kind of thing was that to say?

Chu Xun and others were hesitant.

In their hearts, Qin Chen didn’t seem like someone who was unfoundedly arrogant.

"Just an eighty-ninth place, is there any need to be so proud?" Qin Chen added.

"Qin Chen!!"

As this statement from Qin Chen fell, Ren Mo shouted.

He glared at Qin Chen and said, "If you have the guts, show us your score!"

"If I didn’t know better, I would think you were really something!"

"I want to see what gives you the courage to speak like that."

"Heh, this Qin Chen is really amusing."

From a distance, Jin Hongyang let out two cold chuckles.

Di Le was silent, merely shaking his head to express his disdain for Qin Chen’s behavior.

Verbal belittlement was the most contemptible of behaviors.

"Then keep watching."

Qin Chen glanced at Ren Mo and said indifferently.

Then, Qin Chen took out his score stone.

And merged it into the Achievement Wall.

Just like before.

Above the five hundredth position, a line of text appeared.

Thunder Sky Sect, Qin Chen.

Following that, this line of text began to slowly rise under the close watch of everyone.
