"Simple. All affairs of the Jiuzhou Conference will be entrusted to the head of Huayun Trading Company. I trust Huayun Trading Company's reputation, so I'm confident that no one present will object. I agree, right?" Long Chen turned around and called out to the powerful figures below.
"Agree!"
"Agree!" "Agree
!"
The disciples' shouts grew louder and louder than the last. Huayun Trading Company was a golden brand, absolutely trustworthy. Hearing Long Chen say this, they were eager and immediately cheered for it.
"If we don't agree, we'll never join this ridiculous trick again. Let's all go home together."
"Exactly, we shouldn't keep being fools."
"That won't do. They still have to hand over all the money they took us out."
The older generation of experts had too many concerns and said nothing, but the younger generation disciples were not so calculating. They all roared in anger, venting their anger, and the scene instantly spiraled out of control.
The old man's expression darkened, but he remained silent. He seemed to be waiting for orders. After a while, he finally spoke:
"The City Lord said that Silvermoon City is absolutely innocent and has not been involved in any shady dealings."
Silvermoon City will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, give everyone an explanation, and prove its credibility.
As for what this young friend said, the City Lord said there was no problem and would immediately go negotiate with the Huayun Chamber of Commerce for coordination. Hearing
the old man say this, the disciples present erupted in cheers. Only a very few stared at Long Chen with sharp eyes, as if they wanted to cut him to dust.
Bai Shishi's mother sighed and shook her head, saying, "I still underestimated this guy's ability to cause trouble." "
Originally, she planned to have Long Chen and the others make a splash and compete for the rewards, letting everyone know that Lingxiao Academy isn't as weak as they imagined. If provoked, they'd just as fangs would show.
But nothing had happened yet. Long Chen nearly ruined the Jiuzhou Conference. Now the pressure was too great, and Silvermoon City had no choice but to hand over the rights to Huayun Trading Company.
As a result, such a lucrative job was ruined by Long Chen. Not only was Silvermoon City's financial channels completely overturned, but all the beneficiaries had their sources of income turned upside down. Their hatred for Long Chen and for Lingxiao Academy was probably beyond words.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. The fat meat in their eyes is gone just like that. Thinking about the consequences, Bai Shishi's mother felt a chill run down her spine.
"No, this matter needs to be reported to the director. It's completely beyond our control." Bai Shishi's mother looked at Long Chen, feeling immense pressure.
"The Dao Debate Conference continues."
Seeing that the whole place finally returned to calm, the elder in charge of hosting shouted coldly and disappeared immediately.
"Buzz"
At that moment, the entire Dao Debate Platform trembled slightly. A light curtain appeared above it, crystal clear, and countless patterns appeared—mountains, rivers, birds, fish, starry skies, and more—encompassing all things.
This was the previous Divine Stele identification, not a real Dao debate, but a "pre-meal dessert" added by Silvermoon City itself, using the power of the debate platform to seek some benefits for certain people.
Now is the true Dao Debate Conference; everything that follows will be entirely controlled by the Debate Platform.
Although this was Long Chen's first time attending the Dao Debate Conference, Master Yunyang still told him some basic rules. At this stage, the debate was a challenge—people asked each other, and if the other couldn't answer or the Divine Dao Platform didn't approve of it, the platform would be demoted.
The Divine Way Platform is like a teacher; everyone on the platform is a disciple, and the platform is responsible for judging right and wrong, granting rewards or punishments.
The Divine Dao Platform is an extremely mysterious existence, with no one knowing its origins. Silver Moon City is merely its guardian. Rumor has it it is an ancient spiritual artifact, continuously evolving myriad paths. Legend has it that it is part of the Heavenly Dao and holds absolute authority.
"Beep beep beep beep... The
Divine Dao Platform began to activate, and Long Chen's divine pillar suddenly lit up rapidly, flickering desperately and making strange sounds.
Normally, when someone asks a question, the Divine Pillar will light up once; if two people start asking questions, it will light up twice.
Long Chen's divine pillar flickered wildly, indicating that countless people had questioned him, and Long Chen had suddenly become the target of widespread criticism.
"Is this a personal grudge? So many people, all targeting Master Long San? "In the crowd, someone spoke up for Long Chen.
Although Long Chen's domineering behavior at first was off-putting, he was undaunted by authority and dared to directly point out cheating at the Jiuzhou Conference, seeking fair opportunities for everyone. Many people still admired him.
Now, seeing Long Chen being targeted like this, his actions were too obvious. His words touched many people's interests, and these people directly questioned him, urging him to get out of the mess as soon as possible.
Because Long Chen had been talking nonsense before, he was demoted nine ranks by the Dao Discussion Platform. If he couldn't answer even one question, he would be eliminated immediately.
Long Chen said things others wouldn't dare to say, did things others wouldn't dare to do. Now that he's being targeted, most people are angry for him.
"Hahahaha..."
Being targeted by so many people, Long Chen laughed heartily toward the sky, his laughter full of mockery and contempt.
"A bunch of donkey balls and horse balls, and they dare to challenge Master Long? Today, Master Long San will teach you how to behave. Come on, if you disagree, come fight. Long
Chen sneered coldly and struck the divine pillar. The pillar trembled slightly, and Long Chen's pillar stopped flickering, while a pillar behind him lit up.
This meant Long Chen was accepting the question, and the master of the divine pillar was the first to ask, because he pressed the button fastest—or rather, not the fastest, but because he was sitting on the button the whole time. When the Divine Dao Platform was activated, Long Chen activated it.
Long Chen looked at the person and realized it was Ji Li from Jiuhua Sect. Long Chen sneered, "Your face doesn't hurt anymore?" Then just say your stuff quickly and fart quickly. Ji
Li looked at Long Chen and sneered as well: "Let me ask you, what is the Dao?" As
soon as Ji Li spoke, the faces of the experts in the audience changed. The question was too sharp—it was such a difficult problem as soon as he spoke, clearly not wanting to give Long Chen any chance.
Everyone looked at Long Chen, who saw a mocking smile appear at the corner of his mouth as he said calmly, "
In heaven and earth, all things are the Dao."
"Crack, crack, crack... After
Long Chen finished speaking, he sat down on the divine pillar and slowly ascended, eventually restoring its original height. Ji Li's platform slowly descended, dropping by one foot.
This proved that Long Chen's answer had been recognized by the Divine Dao Platform, who rewarded him and restored the divine pillar.
"The boss is so handsome."
Seeing Long Chen come back to life and return to his original height, Bai Xiaole shouted excitedly. Even Luo Bing and the others were thrilled. Just now, they were so nervous they felt like they could barely breathe.
"Let me ask you, in this world, which came first, chicken, or egg?"
Then the second person asked, directly asking even more profound questions.
