Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 544: Chapter 545: Deadlock

Lin Chen’s name echoed throughout the entire martial arts competition arena, and in this moment, Lin Chen’s popularity was through the roof!

The Void Sage slowly descended the high platform, wearing a faint smile as he approached Lin Chen.

”Young man, congratulations, you have achieved the first place, and you will become my successor, with a chance to receive an ancient inheritance,” the Void Sage said lightly.

In the spectator seats, everyone’s gaze was heatedly fixed on Lin Chen, filled with shock, envy, and awe.

”Sage, I’m afraid I am not fit to take on the great responsibility of being the Sect Leader of Kunlun. My only goal in coming to Kunlun was to uncover my past and to take Xiaowen home,” Lin Chen said calmly.

”What!”

Hearing Lin Chen actually refusing the position of Kunlun Sect Leader, the crowd was immediately dumbstruck.

The Sect Leader of Kunlun, ruler of the martial arts world, was the dream and pursuit of many, yet now within easy reach, and yet Lin Chen was actively giving it up.

”Oh, Lin Chen, do you realize what you are giving up?” asked the Void Sage, startled.

”Of course I do, I don’t like being bound by rules, I’m sorry,” Lin Chen continued.

”He indeed does not deserve to be the Sect Leader of Kunlun.” Just then, a figure slowly stepped onto the stage.

”Xu Ye?” Seeing the person who had stepped onto the stage, Lin Chen was taken aback.

The Void Sage’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he looked at Xu Ye, but that smile quickly vanished.

”What do you mean by that? Xu Ye, get off the stage right now and stop causing trouble,” the Void Sage said sternly.

”Sage, I think Lin Chen’s identity should not be kept hidden from everyone. I want to let everyone thoroughly understand his true nature,” Xu Ye said coldly.

”You know about my past?”

For some reason, ever since he saw Xu Ye, Lin Chen had felt that Xu Ye was somehow different, and he was intently staring at Xu Ye, wanting to know what he was going to say.

Xu Ye sneered, ”Not only do I know your origins, but I also know everything you’ve done.”

”Enough, Xu Ye,” the Void Sage said coldly.

However, at that moment, Master Ziyang also descended from the stage: ”Sage, since Xu Ye has something to report, I think we should let him speak.”

Lin Chen stared coldly at the performance of several individuals, realizing by now that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.

Although the Void Sage had a serious face just now, that fleeting smile had instantly given him away.

It was certain that this move in front of him was carefully planned by them.

Xu Ye continued, staring at Lin Chen: ”Lin Chen, you want to know your origins, right? Alright, I can tell you.”

”You are a demon, not a human,” Xu Ye articulated, word by word.

”Not a human!”

Xu Ye’s words landed like a thunderclap, causing a sudden shift in the expressions of everyone present.

Then, Zhang Yu asked coldly, ”What nonsense are you spouting, Xu Ye? Who are you saying is not human?”

Lin Chen smiled faintly and said, ”Continue.”

Xu Ye went on, ”Everyone should know, there has been a heart-eating demon in Huaxia recently, and now, this demon is right before our eyes.”

Boom!

Xu Ye’s words once again caused a stir across the entire martial arts competition arena.

Lin Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly; just as Bai Ling had died, this guy was now pinning all his dirty laundry onto his head.

”Where’s the evidence?” Lin Chen asked coldly.

Xu Ye snorted and continued, ”Evidence? I’ve already prepared it for you.”

As he spoke, he lightly pressed a button on a remote control in his hand.

Suddenly, an ancient painting appeared on the large screen.

This painting was extremely old, dating back to the Shang Dynasty under King Zhou.

”Look closely at the screen. Doesn’t this person resemble someone?”

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the large screen, faces revealing expressions of surprise.

Indeed, the person on the large screen bore a striking resemblance to Lin Chen.

The screen kept switching, and Xu Ye continued to explain: ”We’ve searched through many historical sites and ancient tombs, and in many significant historical events, we found Lin Chen’s footprints. If a person repeatedly appears in the annals of history, once could be a coincidence, twice could be an accident, but constant appearances can only mean something is not normal.”

Looking at the large screen and listening to Xu Ye’s explanation, everyone’s faces showed shock.

Indeed, whether in sculptures or scrolls, the person depicted was too similar to Lin Chen.

Xu Ye went on, ”Pay attention to this, there’s also a woman in the picture. Tell me, doesn’t she look a lot like Zhao Xiaowen?”

With everyone’s attention drawn to it, within the area circled in red, indeed, another girl was visible who really resembled Zhao Xiaowen.

Lin Chen had seen many of these images before and knew that the person wasn’t Zhao Xiaowen but Zhao Xiaohua. However, the two looked very similar, so by pinning it on Zhao Xiaowen, it was easy for others to notice.

”Now everyone understands, right? Lin Chen and Zhao Xiaowen are immortals, but what are they relying on?” Xu Ye’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

Lin Chen stared intently at Xu Ye. From their first encounter in the Capital City to the several life-and-death experiences they shared, Lin Chen had never imagined the man he considered a brother had always been secretly investigating him.

”That’s right, many people must have guessed it by now. They rely on eating human hearts,” Xu Ye said coldly.

”Eating human hearts!” A wave of uproar rose from the crowd.

”Xu Ye, you are talking nonsense!” Tang Bao’er stood up angrily.

”I was wondering how Lin Chen suddenly became so powerful. Turns out he has been alive for thousands of years.”

”Good heavens, he is actually the terrifying heart-eater.”

Discussions rose from the crowd, and many eyes filled with fear stared at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen suddenly laughed, ”Xu Ye, have you said enough?”

Xu Ye smiled faintly, ”Lin Chen, what? Are you still trying to argue?”

”You’ve said so much, I just want to know what you’re trying to do?” Lin Chen asked coldly.

The Sect Leader sighed, ”Lin Chen, it looks like you and Xiaowen can’t leave today, you must submit to our investigation.”

After hearing the Sect Leader’s words, Lin Chen’s gaze turned cold: ”Impossible, I must take Xiaowen away today.”

”Lin Chen, although you are strong, do you think you can escape from so many of our experts here?” The Sect Leader said with a cold laugh.

Lin Chen snorted and fixed his gaze firmly on the Sect Leader and Xu Ye: ”This must have been your plan all along, right? You calculated that I would kill Bai Ling, and then pin his actions on me, correct?”

The Sect Leader’s face was expressionless as he said coldly: ”Lin Chen, I hope you do not make things difficult for me.”

Suddenly, Lin Chen laughed and said lightly, ”Since you’ve revealed a bombshell, let me drop an even bigger one.”

With that, Lin Chen spoke to someone in the audience, ”Senior, please show yourself!”

As soon as his words fell, a figure landed on the stage, and seeing the person who appeared, the Sect Leader and Xu Ye’s complexions changed dramatically.
