1012 Famous Throughout the Region

A deathly silence fell.

It was as if someone was strangling their necks, and everyone felt like they were about to suffocate.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Today, all kinds of accidents had happened one after another, subverting everyone's expectations.

Originally, everyone thought that even though Tuoshan and Taining would have a fierce battle, Taining would be the final victor. This had always been a tradition.

However, Li Tao's appearance broke this tradition. In this area, Xu Long, who was powerful enough to dominate, was easily defeated by Li Tao.

Li Tao, who was at tier eight of the Divine Abilities Stage and was almost invincible, was easily defeated by Chu Yunfan.

Everything was like magic. Nobody could believe it.

This was especially true for Lu Shuzhou, the city lord of Tuoshan. He had paid a huge price to recruit Li Tao, but Chu Yunfan had easily killed Li Tao.

All of Lu Shuzhou's efforts had gone to waste. He felt that the ups and downs of life were too fast.

There was another person who also felt this way, and that was the Lord of Taining, Zhou Buyi. He thought that victory was already in his grasp, but who knew that his expert would be defeated so quickly?

And the final victor was not his city's old nemesis, Tuoshan, but Tianhe, which they had not even cared about before.

His eyes were fixed on Chu Yunfan as if he wanted to imprint all of him into his eyes. Such a terrifying existence could kill him with a single slap. What if he offended Chu Yunfan in the future?

In fact, everyone present only had one thought. From now on, the rise of Tianhe would be almost unstoppable. Such a terrifying existence was enough to establish a sect in the Holy Land and become a Great Ancestor. He could also be ranked at the forefront of the Holy Land.

However, what made them feel even more strange was that an expert of this level couldn't possibly be unknown no matter what. What era was it now? It wasn't the kind of era where one could just find a deep mountain in an old forest to cultivate for hundreds of years.

Just the various resources used for cultivation alone made it impossible for people to live in seclusion. In theory, it was impossible for such an expert to exist unless they were from another world.

What they didn't know was that the thought that flashed through their minds was the truth.

"If I'm correct, according to the rules, Tianhe is now the victor of this competition."

Chu Yunfan's words made everyone suddenly realize that not only had he killed Li Tao, but he had also won the negotiation. According to the rules, Tianhe was the champion and would receive the most shares.

"I assume nobody has any objections," Chu Yunfan said indifferently.

Since things had already come to this point, he didn't mind standing up for Tianhe. After all, it was just a few words.

Everyone was intimidated by Chu Yunfan, so they naturally didn't have any more objections. Even Zhou Shuzhou and Lu Shuzhou couldn't help but quickly express their agreement.

Under such circumstances, even if they all worked together, they still wouldn't be stronger than Chu Yunfan. It was clear from the fact that Chu Yunfan had easily killed Li Tao.

The people from Tianhe looked extremely excited. Before they came, they never dreamt that they would have such a big surprise. Even Lin Hongfeng only wanted to keep his share. He never thought that he would be able to defeat Taining and Tuoshan and obtain the largest share.

This was simply a golden pie that had fallen from the sky.

The news of Tianhe's sudden rise and the fact that they had seized the largest share of the mine spread in all directions at an amazing speed.

This news stunned everyone. They all expected Taining to take first place again.

Even if there was a turn of events, it should have been Tuoshan. However, the true winner was Tianhe. This result was completely out of everyone's expectations.

Everyone's eyes were not on the city lord of Tianhe, but on the new Mr. Chu, the city's protector.

No one had ever heard of Mr. Chu before. After his sudden rise, everyone began to investigate him but to no avail. It was as if he had popped out from a crack in a rock. No one knew where he had come from.

They didn't even know his full name—only that his name was Mr. Chu. No one dared to ask him for his name, and Tianhe was not clear about Mr. Chu's background.

The only thing they could find was that Mr. Chu had fallen on the side of the road and then been picked up by Lin Chenxi, the daughter of Tianhe's city lord.

After that, Tianhe gained a super expert as their backer, who helped them solve various problems on many occasions.

Many people were rendered speechless when they discovered this.

It was as if gold had fallen from the sky.

Many were envious and jealous of Lin Chenxi. How could she be so lucky to have picked up a super expert on a trip?

Furthermore, this super expert had taken her in as a disciple.

However, they did not know that it was Lin Chenxi's perseverance despite everyone's opposition to bringing Chu Yunfan along that he was very touched and finally accepted her.

If it wasn't for this, Chu Yunfan might have helped Tianhe, but he wouldn't have interfered so deeply. After all, to him, whether it was Tianhe, Taining, or Tuoshan, the largest share of the mine was of no use to him.

Although they couldn't find out Chu Yunfan's background and it was as if he had suddenly fallen from the sky, all kinds of rumors about him came one after another.

There was also the matter of his helping the city lord of Tianhe, Lin Hongfeng, to break through from the peak of the Innate Stage to the Divine Abilities Stage. This made countless people turn green with envy.

Once one entered the Divine Abilities Stage, their entire life would be completely different. Lin Hongfeng, on the other hand, had a change in fate just because Lin Chenxi had picked up a great master. How could this not make people envious?

While all kinds of rumors were spreading, the transfer of the mine was happening in an orderly fashion.

Three days later, after Tianhe had completely taken over the mine, a piece of news reached Chu Yunfan's ears. There was a mysterious item in the mine, and he was needed to guard it.
