In the Xileruo World, Jiang Chen hadn't encountered a single Swordsman. Even in the Human World, Swordsmen were rare, though not entirely nonexistent.

Jin Yunxi continued, "To utterly defeat the so-called True Qi of the Wanderers, only The Fallen's methods can be used. At some unknown time, a legend began to spread across the Continent of All-Gods: a Swordsman would emerge, and this Swordsman would be the grave of the Wanderers."

"He will rely on his sword to kill all of The Fallen, completing his mission."

When Jiang Chen heard these words, it seemed what The Fallen had said was true.

Jiang Chen asked, "Who said that?"

"No one knows who said it; the legend has just been passed down. Only a very few are aware of it, and many don't believe it because Swordsmen are really weak."

"But some do believe. Those who believe formed an Alliance called the Life Alliance, dedicated to assassinating Swordsmen. They discovered that although Swordsmen can also use Sword Qi, it's hardly a credible threat, whether in terms of Offensive Power, speed, or form."

"Over time, this Life Alliance disappeared, until you showed up."

Jiang Chen silently took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag. "I believe the story you told. Today, I was targeted for assassination by Wanderers, and I believe they weren't your people."

"If they were, you definitely wouldn't send such foolish individuals to kill me."

"There's one more thing I want to tell you. Regardless of any legend, I don't want to be enemies with the Wanderers. It's not because I'm afraid, but because I see no point in it."

"We may be from different camps, but we still have black hair."

"If we absolutely must be enemies, then that legend will become a reality."

Jiang Chen knew that among The Fallen, there were many associations. These groups were like Legions, gathering strength and fighting their own battles, living in the world beneath the Continent of All-Gods.

One belonged to the Heavenly Earth Association, and another to the Life Alliance. Although they were different Alliances, Jiang Chen knew they must have a way to contact each other.

Jiang Chen hadn't wanted to provoke them in the first place, but now it seemed impossible.

Jin Yunxi asked, "Where are they?"

Jiang Chen glanced at her. "I managed to come here alive. What do you think?"

Jin Yunxi fell silent. She had anticipated this outcome.

Jin Yunxi's brows knitted tightly. The Wanderers are all highly vengeful people; the Life Alliance certainly won't let this go...

Jin Yunxi said, "What do you propose?"

"It's simple. If the grudge can't be resolved, then pick a place. I alone will take on their Life Alliance. Since it's a matter of vengeance, let's settle it in the simplest way possible."

"Where?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment. He already understood something!

"Laambou City, the Yilan Rift. If that doesn't work, finding a clean place in the black market is also fine. I'm not particularly choosy about the location."

Jin Yunxi nodded. "I will convey your message."

"Good. I don't know what kind of people they are, but I'm a man of principle. Grudges shouldn't involve those around me. You'd better make that clear to them. Otherwise, I will take action too, regardless of whether they are elderly, children, or pregnant women. I won't hold back."

"After all, killing The Fallen also brings merit."

Jin Yunxi's expression changed drastically. He's so cold-blooded!

Jiang Chen continued, "In three days, I will wait here for your response."

Jiang Chen turned and left. This proprietress was very strong, but Jiang Chen was still confident he could kill her. Unless it was a master like Siyuan, capable of rending Space, killing him would be impossible. Even for a master like Siyuan, it would be impossible.

Jiang Chen's speed was incredible, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

「 」

After Jiang Chen left, he returned to the villa.

Silently smoking, he thought, this seems like a trap—a trap from the very beginning. What secrets are hidden between God and God? Could my arrival in this world not be a coincidence? Is someone scheming something? Or is it deliberately unknown? Jiang Chen didn't know any of this.

The only thing he knew for sure was that someone among The Fallen now believed this legend. They had even formed this so-called Life Alliance, and a conflict had already occurred. Based on his understanding of them, they weren't afraid of death.

This grudge is likely irreconcilable. The Fallen were all people with an immensely strong vengeful nature, and Jiang Chen was one of them. Since it can't be reconciled, it will be settled with the sword. If they dare to harm them, I will act without hesitation.

I try to reason with you, and you resort to thuggery. Yes, that's exactly the feeling. And who doesn't know how to act like a thug?

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged. He needed to enter mind regulation. Indeed, he saw Daphne in his Dream Realm...

It seemed as if Daphne had been waiting for him for a long time.

In the Dream Realm, Jiang Chen sat outside the villa, drinking tea and smoking, looking up at the sky. He sighed, "If only this were the real world, how great would that be!"

"Yes, but unfortunately, you will eventually have to face reality," she said.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine. They won't know it was me."

"That's good, then."

Daphne looked at Jiang Chen. "Have you encountered some trouble?"

"Just a little," he replied.

"What is it?"

"A Swordsman will emerge on the Continent of All-Gods, and this Swordsman will be the grave of the Wanderers. Have you heard about this?"

Daphne nodded. "I've heard the Wanderers discuss it, but they don't seem to take it seriously. They think such a Swordsman is impossible."

"But now a likely candidate has appeared. Today, I was attacked by six of The Fallen."

"Are they dead?"

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"The Fallen are an extremely vengeful people. You must be careful. They won't let the deaths of several of their members go unavenged."

"I'm not too worried about that," he said. "I'm more concerned about falling into a trap."

Daphne pondered for a moment. "The way you describe it, it does seem like a trap, perhaps one that's been in the making for two hundred years."

"Ah... that's a bit tricky," he sighed.

"Indeed. When one person believes something to be true, it's insignificant. But when all of The Fallen believe it, that's when it becomes troublesome. If enough people believe it, it becomes reality," she said.

Jiang Chen nodded silently. That was precisely his concern.

If it were just the riff-raff of the Life Alliance believing it, it wouldn't matter. The crucial issue was that other, very powerful individuals also believed—individuals whose strength was on par with Demigods.

They were all the same kind of people, all with black hair. Although he felt no particular bond with them, Jiang Chen couldn't bring himself to kill them all, to exterminate every last one, especially since there were elderly, women, and children among them.

"Do you think it's the All Gods playing tricks?" she asked.

Jiang Chen nodded. "There's indeed that possibility. But if they really wanted to annihilate the Wanderers, it would be very easy for them."

"That's true. The Continent of All-Gods has many powerhouses, ten thousand times stronger than The Fallen."

"Then what is their purpose?"

"Don't you think it's all just a good show?"

Jiang Chen: "..."

Dammit... it really is quite a show!
