Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1258 - 1255: Hidden Dragon List!

At dusk, three figures rode on the wind to the gates of a city called "Chuyun".

They were none other than Li Chen, Xia Ning’er, and Muu Xian’er!

Xia Ning’er pointed ahead and quietly reminded them, "This is the Royal City of Chuyun Country, a vassal state of the Jian Dynasty. Beyond this city, if we continue north and cross Wolong Ridge, we will reach the territory of the Jian Dynasty proper!"

Hearing Xia Ning’er’s introduction, Li Chen nodded thoughtfully.

This time, his first destination was the Jian Dynasty!

Though the Jian Dynasty had ceased hostilities and dared not easily provoke again, the enmity between the two was deeper than the sea, a fight to the death was inevitable sooner or later.

Originally, Li Chen had thought that after he killed Grandmaster Wenn Zhong, Jian Gouchen would personally lead a campaign against the Flame Dragon Dynasty.

To completely destroy them on the main battlefield!

But to his surprise, the Jian Dynasty directly backed down, and Li Chen waited for a whole half year without any signs of movement from them.

Not only was there no movement from the Jian Dynasty, but even the Heavenly Thunder Sect, known as one of the nine great sacred sects, seemed blind and mute, showing no signs of seeking revenge against him.

Li Chen pondered that instead of waiting for strong enemies to come to him, it would be better to take the initiative.

Following the principle of picking the soft ones first, he planned to defeat each of them one by one.

Thus, Li Chen’s first target was the Jian Dynasty.

Moreover, the Jian Dynasty was no longer what it used to be. The successive fall of Great General Pei Xiong and Grandmaster Wenn Zhong, along with the annihilation of their million-strong army, left their entire dynasty in a precarious situation.

With only a single Divinity Transformation True Monarch, Jian Gouchen, it was the perfect opportunity to strike him down.

Li Chen looked up at the sky and said, "Let’s make do with staying in Chuyun City for the night!"

Muu Xian’er and Xia Ning’er exchanged glances, showing no objections.

Just after they had settled down at an inn, Li Chen overheard people talking about him.

"Did you hear? The Greedy Wolf Hall just updated the Hidden Dragon List!"

"The Peak List remains unchanged, but the Hidden Dragon List has three newcomers this year, with Snowy Mountain Tian Family’s Heavenly Pride Tian Yilong at rank 118, Azure Sky Pavilion’s Little Witch Xie Wanwan at rank 111, and a loose cultivator from the Flame Dragon Dynasty named Li Chen at rank 81!"

...

Hearing the first two names, everyone felt it was expected, without any surprise.

But when they heard the name Li Chen, everyone was visibly shocked.

"Who is Li Chen? I’ve never heard of this name before."

"Exactly, how could this Li Chen be so powerful, surpassing Tian Family’s Heavenly Pride Tian Yilong and Little Witch Xie Wanwan, going from obscurity to ranking in the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List!"

"If I remember correctly, last year’s 81st was Chuu Ying, the Chief Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, right?"

"You don’t know? Chuu Ying was killed by Li Chen, and that’s why he took his place at rank 81!"

...

Suddenly, the name Li Chen became the focal point of everyone’s discussions. There were those who admired him, and those who were displeased.

"Hey, did you hear? You made it onto the Hidden Dragon List, even entered the top 100, ranking 81st!"

Muu Xian’er lightly tugged on Li Chen’s arm and said with feigned mystery.

In Xia Ning’er’s clear eyes appeared a smile, brimming with admiration.

Li Chen, however, remained indifferent to it.

The Hidden Dragon List was not something he found impressive. Only the Peak List piqued his interest to some extent.

Li Chen glanced sideways at Muu Xian’er and asked a question that almost made her choke.

"By the way, what exactly are the Peak List and Hidden Dragon List?"

Before Muu Xian’er could reply, a well-dressed man nearby looked at Li Chen in surprise.

"No way, you don’t even know what the Peak List and Hidden Dragon List are?"

On the Greedy Wolf Star, the Peak List and Hidden Dragon List are the two most renowned lists, known to everyone. It would not be an exaggeration to say they are known by every household.

The Peak List, taking sixty names in total, signifies the top sixty great powers standing at the pinnacle of the Greedy Wolf Star Plane.

This list has no age restriction, and no distinction between good and evil. As long as someone is capable, they can make the list.

The Hidden Dragon List, taking 120 people, also draws no distinction between good and evil, but it does have an age limit.

Calculated from birth, the age within two 60-year cycles is required to make the list. It’s the list ranking the most promising heavenly prides on the Greedy Wolf Star Plane.

Moreover, both the Heavenly Pride List and the Hidden Dragon List allow you, if you can defeat someone already on the list one-on-one, to replace them.

Li Chen earned his place on the Hidden Dragon List, ranking 81st, precisely by defeating Chuu Ying, previously ranked 81st.

The well-dressed man narrated the Peak List and Hidden Dragon List to Li Chen at length, then looked at Muu Xian’er and Xia Ning’er with eyes full of self-admiration.

He hoped to see a look of admiration on the faces of the two beauties of national renown.

He naively believed that all three were from remote places, unfamiliar with the world, hence they didn’t know what the Peak List and Hidden Dragon List were.

However, to his great disappointment.

Li Chen, Xia Ning’er, and Muu Xian’er treated him like air, completely ignoring his words.

The well-dressed man, seeing himself being disregarded, immediately frowned with a hint of anger.

He didn’t vent his anger on Xia Ning’er and Muu Xian’er, but focused on Li Chen, glaring and demanding:

"Fellow Taoist, I kindly explained to you, and you don’t even say thank you?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and coldly shouted, "Scram!"

The well-dressed man was momentarily stunned, utterly shocked that Li Chen dared to tell him to scram.

Immediately, he was outraged, shouting, "What did you just say? If you have the guts, say it again!"

As he spoke, the True Yuan within him surged violently.

It seemed as though if Li Chen dared to disrespect him again, he would immediately attack, to teach him a lesson?

"Scram is the only word I’ll say, I don’t want to say it a second time, do you not understand?"

In Li Chen’s eyes appeared a look of disdain.

The well-dressed man was infuriated by Li Chen’s provocative gaze, utterly enraged.

"You’re seeking death!"

With the words full of murderous intent just spoken, he charged at Li Chen wielding a Magic Sword, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain.

"Hmph, a fool with no sense of danger!"

Li Chen snorted disdainfully, and as the man approached, he waved his sleeve, flicking two chopsticks towards him.

"Clang clang!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A crisp sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out!

In an instant, the well-dressed man’s Magic Sword was pierced through by the chopsticks.

Thereafter, they pierced through his body, leaving two bloody holes.

And his entire body was nailed directly to the wall.

The unfortunate man let out a piercing scream of "Ah," eyes rolling back, body convulsing violently, then immediately fainted.

"Hiss!"

Witnessing this incredible scene, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.

To think, this well-dressed man was actually a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, and though his Magic Sword wasn’t exactly a supreme treasure, its material was at least mid-upper level.

Never did they expect, he’d be instantly killed by the other party.

What shocked them more was that from start to finish, Li Chen hadn’t used any True Yuan, but merely pure physical strength, using two ordinary chopsticks to pin that Golden Core Late Stage man to death, leaving him no room for resistance...
