Chapter 537: The Opportunity to Shine Has Arrived

“Who are you all?” the rescued beings of the Great Thousand Races asked in confusion.

They had already been awed by that mysterious human. A single person had overthrown Despair City by himself, a feat that had completely convinced them of his power.

They had already witnessed such a scene, so when the people from the Six Great Sects appeared before them now, they were not particularly surprised.

The members of the Six Great Sects, upon hearing their question, were momentarily at a loss for words.

Previously, they would have proudly declared, “We are here to save you!”

But now, looking at the situation, it seemed clear that their help was no longer needed.

This was indeed an awkward situation for the Six Great Sects.

At this moment, they were all confused, unable to comprehend what exactly was going on.

Despair City was said to have a million ancient clans, yet now, where had they all gone?

They hadn’t even seen a single one of them. It was simply too unbelievable.

“Esteemed ones, we are from the Six Great Sects. We originally came to rescue you, but now, what exactly is going on here? Where have all the ancient clans gone?” Zhu Long, majestic and imposing, spoke with a pair of deep, piercing eyes radiating supreme authority.

“They’re all dead,” one of the Great Thousand Race beings replied.

“Dead?” The members of the Six Great Sects were visibly shaken by this statement. Could it really be that all million ancient clans had been wiped out?

Yet when they looked around, there wasn’t a single corpse in sight. What sect could possibly possess such power?

They had never imagined that it was a single individual who had destroyed Despair City. In their minds, it must have been an extremely powerful sect that had dispatched top experts to forcefully suppress the city.

But who could it possibly be? Who could be so strong?

A Divine Heaven-level expert?

That was absolutely impossible. If a Divine Heaven-level expert had slaughtered a million ancient clans in Despair City, the ancient clan experts would not have stood by and done nothing.

At this moment, a single sentence from one of the Great Thousand Race beings completely stunned the members of the Six Great Sects.

“That’s right, a human, an incredibly powerful human, killed all million ancient clans and the Four Army Commanders in Despair City.” When this Great Thousand Race being spoke of this human, his expression turned to one of deep admiration.

“That’s impossible!” Mu Long Tian was the first to step forward and refute this claim.

He absolutely refused to believe that a single human could have killed a million ancient clans in Despair City, not to mention the Four Army Commanders.

For this mission, thirty Heaven-level elders had already prepared themselves to hold back the Four Army Commanders.

But now, this was just a joke.

One human had killed the Four Army Commanders? Absolutely impossible.

Xie Sheng, who had been silent all along, heard this and his expression slightly changed. An image involuntarily surfaced in his mind, along with a sentence that they had previously dismissed as a joke.

“Go to Despair City and kill Despair Marquis.”

“Could the human you’re talking about have long hair, a calm aura, and be unfathomable to others?” Xie Sheng hurriedly asked.

“Brother Xie, how can you be having such wild thoughts? It absolutely cannot be that human,” Mu Long Tian said.

Zhu Long slightly furrowed his brow, also recalling what Xie Sheng had previously said.

That human who had made such bold claims?

“I don’t know who you’re talking about, but that human does have long hair, a very calm aura, and is extremely handsome. Just one glance, and you can’t get him out of your mind…” This Great Thousand Race being began to sing the human’s praises.

If Lin Fan had heard what this Great Thousand Race being had said, he would have definitely given a thumbs-up and praised, “Well said.”

Afterward, the Great Thousand Race beings began chattering excitedly, each one praising Lin Fan.

With so many Great Thousand Race beings each saying a word, their collective praise gathered countless compliments, directly elevating Lin Fan to the heavens.

The members of the Six Great Sects stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.

The disciples of the Jiling Divine Sect silently reverted to their original forms—the towering bodies that dominated the heavens and earth—but at this moment, they seemed somewhat comical.

The disciples of the Hangu Long Sect also transformed back from dragons to humans. Their fierce roars and desire to tear the ancient clans apart now seemed pointless since there were no ancient clans left to fight.

The disciples of the Divine Temple also stopped blowing their divine horns and writing divine scriptures, lowering their heads in disappointment as their previous efforts had all been in vain.

The divine sounds they had produced now seemed like celebrations for that human.

Embarrassing. Extremely embarrassing.

Even elders like Zhu Long had slight changes in their expressions.

Within their sects, they held high positions and great power, and they didn’t care much for superficial fame.

But now, as they listened to the Great Thousand Race beings praising that human, they couldn’t help but feel envious.

They were filled with jealousy toward this human.

Mu Long Tian had planned to show off his abilities and establish his reputation, but the current situation made him quite angry.

Without a single ancient clan left, how could he kill them, achieve glory, and become a hero in the hearts of the Great Thousand Races?

Just at this moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered at the distant horizon, and a fierce aura emanated from within them.

“Everyone, be on alert, the ancient clans have arrived,” Elder Zhu Long, with his sharp eyes like lanterns, immediately saw through the scene within the dark clouds.

At this moment, the disciples of the Six Great Sects roared with excitement—they felt their opportunity had finally come.

Originally, they had been filled with tension at the thought of fighting the ancient clans. When they learned that all the ancient clans had been killed by a single human, they felt some disappointment but also secretly relieved.

But when they heard the beings of the Great Thousand Race extolling this human to the skies, their hearts were filled with discontent.

They were envious. Jealous.

How could this human steal all the glory?

So now, they longed to encounter the ancient clans and kill them all, thereby earning the admiration and respect of the Great Thousand Race beings.

“Don’t worry, the Six Great Sects will certainly ensure your safety,” Mu Long Tian said, looking at the Great Thousand Race beings. He then dramatically flicked back his long hair, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance.

“That’s right, the Six Great Sects will definitely ensure your safe passage.”

“Stand behind us. Since the ancient clans have come, we will make sure they all stay here.”

At this moment, the disciples of the Six Great Sects roared with battle cries, their fighting spirit reigniting.

The disciples of the Jiling Divine Sect transformed once again into hundred-foot-tall giants.

The disciples of the Hangu Long Sect also transformed into hundred-foot and thousand-foot-long dragons.

The disciples of the Divine Temple blew their divine horns again, writing divine scriptures that caused flowers to fall from the sky and golden lotuses to sprout from the earth.

The disciples of the Water Divine Sect began summoning rain.

The disciples of the Jiao Tian Sect fiercely beat their drums, boosting everyone’s morale.

…

“With the Six Great Sects here, the ancient clans will not harm a single soul,” Mu Long Tian took a step forward, fearlessly staring into the void.

Elder Zhu Long looked at Mu Long Tian with satisfaction and nodded. With such fearless disciples, how could the ancient clans not be destroyed?

But at this moment, something terrifying happened to the crowd.
