Jiares said, "Does the Prosecutor remember the Life Alliance?"

"What about it?"

"There once was a legend."

Lanbert nodded. "I remember. The Swordsman is the grave of The Fallen. They think we'll use Swordsmen to deal with these foolish Fallen. If the All Gods really took action, a million-strong army could sweep away all The Fallen without any need for Swordsmen."

"I actually have a suggestion."

"Go ahead."

"Since they think that Swordsmen are the graves of The Fallen, why don't we use the identity of Swordsmen to create conflicts with them? After all, the ones who can awaken to the Swordsman Class are also Wanderers."

Lanbert looked thoughtful. Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? This is quite interesting.

Lanbert nodded, "Your proposal is good. What's your plan?"

"We use information to spread Jiang Chen's identity. Those prideful Fallen will definitely look for trouble with Swordsmen. This way, we won't have to lift a finger against him."

"You handle this matter."

"Yes."

「Inside the villa.」

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...

Jiang Chen opened the door; Arno was standing outside.

"Come in and sit down."

"You're in trouble."

"What's up?"

"Have you heard of a legend?"

"What legend?"

"The Swordsman is the grave of The Fallen."

Well... What's this about?

Jiang Chen nodded, "I've heard of it before."

"Now, The Fallen are all spreading it. Not only that, but it's also being spread in the Xileruo World. It seems someone deliberately disseminated the information to pit you against The Fallen."

"You must know, The Fallen are proud individuals. They will try every means to come and kill you, just to make a name for themselves."

Jiang Chen silently smoked, pondering why he had to deal with this situation now. Someone is pushing from behind!

This claim had once arisen among The Fallen. Afterwards, the Life Alliance was established, followed by a wave of extermination, using Swordsmen to defeat The Fallen. It's unclear whether it was a conspiracy from the Continent of All-Gods.

Only a very few don't believe it. Most of The Fallen are uninformed spectators, drifters of the martial world. These people don't care about the truth; in any case, Jiang Chen is their target.

This is somewhat like the remnants of a demonic cult; regardless of whether you've done something wrong or not, they just want to eliminate you. Not for anything else, but to make a name for themselves.

If The Fallen come to assassinate, should Jiang Chen kill or not kill?

To kill would mean a complete falling out.

If he didn't kill, well, Jiang Chen wasn't the type to be bullied. If they came for his head, how could he let them go? That's not Jiang Chen's style.

After a long time, the legend would become truth.

Jiang Chen nodded, "When did you find out?"

"In one night, it spread across the world. Someone wants to kill you and fears your strength, so they used this method. I just don't know if it's the work of the Bach Family."

"This is indeed a bit tricky. Many of The Fallen are hiding away, cultivating hard, just so that one day they can make a name for themselves. Among them are definitely experts. What I don't understand is, what do they gain from making a name for themselves?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, "I can understand."

Hard training in Martial Arts, if not to make a name, then what for! I might as well not cultivate at all!

"It seems you two are alike. Be careful then. If a real expert comes, flee immediately; do not engage them."

This matter is indeed difficult to handle.

Jiang Chen didn't know how many hard cultivators there were among The Fallen. If it was someone as strong as Li Mu or as strong as Bai Yun, then he'd definitely be doomed. Against such experts, Jiang Chen wouldn't even have the chance to fight back.

As of now, Jiang Chen can face a six-stage powerhouse among the Wanderers. Heroes were in the same predicament.

For a Seventh-stage expert, meaning someone above Level 350, Jiang Chen would find them very difficult to handle. The gap between Levels and the disparity in equipment weren't things a hundredfold increase could easily bridge.

After careful consideration, Jiang Chen realized he had to quickly upgrade his Level. Strive to reach the Third-stage as soon as possible.

After reaching the Third-stage, not only would his Attributes improve, but swapping out his equipment for better gear would also enhance his combat prowess. But where could he go to level up? That was another problem. He certainly couldn't expect to grind in the wilderness forever!

[Name: Jiang Chen]

[Legion: Secret Sword Legion]

[Occupation: Swordsman]

[Level: 110]

[Experience: 100,000/13,000,000]

[Constitution: 700]

[Strength: 340]

[Spirit: 750]

[Agility: 86]

[First-stage Catastrophe: All Resistances +1,200, Four-dimensional Attributes +1,200, Skill Attack Power +25%, Skill Cooldown Time reduced by 20%, Immune to 20% of damage]

Thirteen million experience points; grinding in the wild would take ages! Who's pulling the strings behind the scenes? Could it really be the Bach Family?

「The black market.」

Jiang Chen visited the black market once again. The Cloud End Tavern was still there, only now it was run by a Hero. Jin Yunxi was gone, and the tavern had a new owner.

Lin Yangze was still in the room.

"No need to worry. If you could handle a Sixth-stage Fallen, how many Sixth-stage Experts could there be?"

"How many are there?"

"Roughly a few thousand, I suppose!"

Jiang Chen was speechless. What did 'roughly a few thousand' even mean? Were there really that many of The Fallen? He knew the Heavenly Earth Association had only about a hundred thousand members, with perhaps only ten thousand of those being combatants; how could there be so many experts among The Fallen?

Lin Yangze explained, "You don't understand The Fallen. Many of them are ascetics, and there's no small number of such people. If it was just for fame, these experts wouldn't make a move."

"These people haven't joined any sect or faction; they belong to the ranks of independent cultivators. Even those seeking fame are third-rate at best, with unimpressive Martial Arts and cultivation."

"You can totally handle these people."

Jiang Chen nodded, "I've encountered Li Mu."

"The Heavenly Earth Association Leader?"

"Yes."

"How did it feel?"

"Very strong."

"He's not just strong; he's comparable to what you call a Demigod. In the future, try to avoid such experts if possible. Otherwise, it's very dangerous."

"Luckily, I'm a Heavenly Earth Association member. I barely escaped with my life."

"Lately, the Life Alliance has been quite active. That Xie An you mentioned last time should come to the black market soon. He's likely to try to assassinate you."

"I actually need to find him. If he comes, I won't be polite."

"The Wanderers' Alliance has five major guilds. Now, with the Life Alliance operating actively, they could very well become the sixth. They've got their sights set on you. If they kill you, the Life Alliance will gain fame and solidify its position as the sixth major guild."

Jiang Chen wondered, Who is the President of the Cangsheng Association?

"Zhong Yuanju, an Eighth-stage Expert."

Jiang Chen gasped. An Eighth-stage Expert! If such an expert took action, would I even survive? I have to rapidly enhance my strength! I need an escape Skill, at least one that would prevent an Eighth-stage Expert from catching me.

Jiang Chen chuckled, "If he comes, how about you help me hold him off?"

"Don't even think about it. I'm no match for him."

As the two of them were drinking, Jiang Chen sensed that a group of The Fallen was approaching within a kilometer.

They're here so soon? Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives?
