Hearing He Chongxu's words, coupled with the immense momentum created by Yinlong Daoist, everyone present was struck with awe and fear.
No match below the Ninth Order?
Doesn't that mean Yinlong Daoist is already the number one below the Ninth Order? As long as it's not an elder or sect leader of the Five Great Sects who makes a move, Yinlong Daoist can act with impunity?
Even before reaching this realm, the Yinlong Daoist had already caused Hong Kong to weep and wail, and everyone lived in fear. Now that he has reached this realm, wouldn't he be able to cover the sky with one hand and make decisions unilaterally?
Li Fengcheng and the others all felt a sense of unease.
They couldn't shake the feeling that this time, inviting the dragon out of the mountain was more like putting a shackle on their heads.
It was like they had invited a living father for themselves.
However, they dared not show any of it. They had to keep up with He Chongxu's rhythm, kowtowing repeatedly to Yinlong Daoist, as if paying homage to an emperor: "Congratulations, Immortal, congratulations, Immortal..."
And the enormous momentum generated by the Thousand-Eyed Reverse Scale was not only visible in Qingwan but also in some neighboring areas.
Especially the bizarre spectacle of a thousand eyes opening simultaneously and emitting light, which could be seen from a great distance.
Even those who had already fallen asleep were instantly awakened, looking at the wondrous scene outside the window with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
Some even took out their phones to record the scene.
Several college students camping outdoors happened to be not far from the site.
They not only captured a clear image of the Thousand-Eyed Reverse Scale but also filmed the other scenes of the water dragon sweeping, the sea boiling, and the island shaking.
While greatly alarmed, they quickly uploaded the videos online.
The speed of information dissemination in modern society is beyond imagination.
In just a few hours, it had become known throughout the island, known to all.
Some netizens claimed that a dragon-like monster had appeared in Qingwan.
Others said that a dormant volcano at the bottom of the sea in Qingwan had erupted again.
Still others claimed that spiritual energy had revived, and the immortals and spirit beasts hidden in famous mountains and rivers, and immortal seas, were all emerging.
In short, there were all sorts of speculations.
The volcanic eruption theory was the most widely spread.
Rumors ran rampant, and people were in a state of panic.
Many people even began to buy plane tickets to flee to other places, believing that the entire Hong Kong island would sink after the volcanic eruption, and if they didn't run quickly, they would be buried at the bottom of the sea.
This alarmist news even attracted the attention of some foreign media.
Headlines such as "Hong Kong Volcano Erupts, Entire Island May Sink" appeared on the homepages of major websites.
Initially, the relevant departments in Hong Kong had no intention of paying attention to such rumors. After all, in a city like Hong Kong, where paparazzi are everywhere and gossip flies, how could there not be hundreds or thousands of rumors every day?
However, as the rumors fermented and more and more people believed them, the stock market reacted directly, causing the Hong Kong market to plummet violently!
This time, the relevant departments in Hong Kong could no longer sit still and quickly investigated the source.
It was not until they investigated that they found Li Fengcheng.
Li Fengcheng clearly had not expected things to escalate so much, to the point where the stocks he held had depreciated by billions.
However, he soon realized that this was a good opportunity to publicize the battle of Jiulong Mountain.
He would set up betting on the battle in every street and alley of Hong Kong!
He could also take the opportunity to spread the news that Li Fengcheng would obtain the Mirage Realm recipe after winning the battle.
This way, Li Fengcheng's company stocks would surely be seen as having a bright future by everyone!
Li Fengcheng would be able to harvest a wave of leeks!
Without delay, Li Fengcheng immediately revealed everything to the relevant departments and requested them to issue a statement clarifying the truth.
When the relevant departments heard this, they were stunned.
So, such a major event had happened right under their noses, and they had been completely unaware of it!
However, in a place like Hong Kong, capital reigns supreme. Since Li Fengcheng had spoken, they could only comply.
In their opinion, that mainland boy was doomed. He had gone mad to challenge Li Fengcheng in Hong Kong territory, which was no different from plucking a tiger's whiskers in its den.
With the cooperation of the relevant departments, the matter was quickly made public.
When the citizens of Hong Kong saw that it was not a volcanic eruption or an earthquake, nor a revival of spiritual energy, but a mainland boy who had come to Hong Kong to cause trouble, leading to the Battle of Tianwang Mountain!
Then, what else was there to say?
There was only one sentence: "Kill that punk!"
The emotions of the Hong Kong citizens were quickly ignited, and the underground betting houses authorized by Li Fengcheng and others were quickly opened.
Countless Hong Kong citizens eagerly placed their bets, all on Li Fengcheng to win.
Even elderly grandmothers in their seventies and eighties took out money for rice to place a bet.
As for Ying Chen, it wasn't that no one bet on him.
At least the mainlanders studying and living in Hong Kong would support Ying Chen out of friendship.
But the amount could not be forced. It was good if they could support him with a hundred yuan.
In the end, the total amount bet on Ying Chen across all betting houses in Hong Kong was not much.
Fortunately, Mr. Hu finally placed Ying Chen's ten billion yuan as per Ying Chen's request, which somewhat salvaged a little dignity.
Everything was ready, and they waited for the day of the duel.
One day before the duel, Ying Chen suddenly received an uninvited guest.
This guest strode directly into Mr. Hu's residence, showing no sign of politeness expected of a guest.
Ying Chen thought this was a friend of Mr. Hu's and paid no attention.
Who knew that Mr. Hu also did not recognize this person.
Mr. Hu looked at the person with doubt in his eyes: "Excuse me, young lady, whom are you looking for? We should not know each other, right?"
The visitor was a woman.
She was not unattractive, with a delicate face, but there was an air of martial prowess and arrogance about her.
Her expression was unusually cold, and she looked at everyone as if they were criminals, showing no favor.
The woman glanced coldly at Mr. Hu: "You should be glad we don't know each other, otherwise, there would be no Hu Sansheng in Hong Kong!"
Mr. Hu's full name was Hu Sansheng.
It was taken from the meaning "I examine myself three times a day."
Upon hearing the woman's words, Mr. Hu's brows immediately furrowed.
Although he was from the mainland, he had been operating in Hong Kong for many years and was considered a figure of some importance.
Even Li Fengcheng would not dare to be so arrogant and rude to him, calling him by name.
Who was this woman, to be so ill-mannered?
"Since we don't know each other, this is my home, and you were not invited. You have no right to be here! Leave immediately!"
"Otherwise, I will call the police!"
Mr. Hu said righteously.
Unexpectedly, the woman let out a cold laugh: "Call the police? You can try. Let's see who leaves then."
These words instantly confused Mr. Hu.
This woman had so much confidence; could it be that she had a very powerful background?
However, he racked his brains but could not think of any family that would have such a young lady.
Just as Mr. Hu was lost in deep thought, he heard Ying Chen's voice leisurely from the second-floor guest room: "She's here for me."
"Leave it to me to handle!"
