C1852 People Are Afraid of Words
These days, Chen Shaofeng was busy at first, but not at all.
He was busy with the beast tide, and his Five Elements Realm had contributed a lot to this, so Chen Shaofeng was no exception.
But as the Five Elements Realm and lightning struck down, the beast tide immediately retreated.
The main reason was to eliminate the main force of the beast tide. With the deaths of those powerful magical beasts and monsters, the beast tide suddenly became headless and could only flee.
After this battle, the beast tide had nearly been damaged by 30%. Within 10 years, it would be impossible for them to recuperate again.
As for the reason why the Five Elements Realm did not kill all of them, it was mainly because of the lack of power and cultivators.
If they spent all their effort to eliminate the beast tide, it might give the demons and Demon Clan an opportunity to take advantage of.
At the very most, they could only send cultivators with average cultivation to kill this group of wild beasts, but their gains were not many.
After Chen Shaofeng killed a few strong demon beasts and monsters, the mission that Dutian Peak gave him was completely over.
Actually, the mission was already over by the time Chen Shaofeng settled the matter in the city.
It's just that at that time, Five Elements Realm were being attacked everywhere, and Chen Shaofeng also helped out, even without a mission arrangement.
Bearing the title of Dutian Peak, it was very convenient for Chen Shaofeng to go in and out of these large cities.
After the incident with the beast tide ended, Kaiser and Wei Huang had invited Chen Shaofeng many times, hoping that they could repay him. However, Chen Shaofeng had temporarily refused.
Chen Shaofeng still needed to cultivate, so he couldn't waste too much time on these trivial things.
After a few days of fighting, Chen Shaofeng had made some breakthroughs in his spear skills and didn't want to be affected by anyone else.
After finishing his cultivation, Chen Shaofeng still went to the city because he had a lot of things to sell.
Chen Shaofeng sold some of his spoils of war in the city and exchanged them for cultivation resources.
Although he had almost finished cultivating his grandmist chaos body, there was still room for growth. It was just that the consumption was much greater.
In terms of cultivation, he was also gradually increasing, but it wasn't fast for Chen Shaofeng.
Just looking at these two things, Chen Shaofeng's condition was still very good. At least, there wasn't any trouble.
However, Chen Shaofeng felt something was off today.
People around him began to talk about him.
Moreover, this kind of discussion was not positive.
These days, even though Chen Shaofeng had killed many powerful Magic Beasts, he knew that the majority of them were powerful cultivators like Kaiser and Wei Huang Ren. As for the commoners and cultivators, most of them didn't know much about them.
It was as if the city had been besieged by the enemy, and the reinforcements killed a few of the enemy's generals and then the enemy troops retreated without attacking. This kind of thing was too far away for the common people.
Most of the citizens of the city thought that it was the invincible Kaiser who had fought off the beast tide.
After Chen Shaofeng killed the Magic Beasts and Monsters at the Nihility God Stage, he didn't do much anymore. Managers like Kaiser were constantly showing their faces and dealing with all kinds of trivial matters after the battle.
This led the public to believe that Caesar had solved all the problems.
However, the city lords who received Chen Shaofeng's help were clear that if it weren't for Chen Shaofeng, the city would have long fallen into enemy hands.
"Look! It's that person! It's said that he colluded with the Monster race. He's a traitor of the city!" A child pointed at Chen Shaofeng and said to his companions.
Chen Shaofeng looked at these kids and suddenly scattered.
Not just children, even mortals and cultivators said the same thing.
Almost the entire city knew of a Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivator named Chen Shaofeng, who had obtained the first achievement of repelling the beast tide by taking advantage of the situation.
Some people even said that Chen Shaofeng was a disciple of a big family and came to the city to snatch the credit of Kaiser. For the sake of the citizens in the city, Kaiser could only bear the humiliation.
Kaiser knew about this as well, and so he immediately spread the rumor.
Although the effects were pretty good, there were still some similar topics being discussed. No one knew where it came from.
Without a doubt, there were enemies targeting him, releasing these unfavorable rumors against him.
Although these rumors were completely useless, they had buried the seeds of unease.
It would be fine if Chen Shaofeng didn't make any mistakes in the future, but if he makes any mistakes in the future, these seeds will all sprout and become invisible weapons that would attack him.
However, Chen Shaofeng was not afraid. As long as he was strong enough, he could ignore these things.
In the world of cultivators, cultivators do not need to worry about anger.
Only the weak would be worried about the wrath of the masses, because the combined power of a group of people was extremely great.
However, if one was strong enough, no matter how angry the crowd was, they would not be able to withstand a single word from an expert.
For example, the Barbarian Heaven Emperor, one of the Five Great Sky Emperors. He had a ruthless personality and had killed a lot of people, causing a lot of anger in the past.
However, until today, no one had ever dared to say that the Barbarian God Emperor was in the wrong, not even the enemy of the Barbarian God Emperor.
Even when all the enemies had died of old age, no one dared to criticize the Barbarian Heaven Emperor.
The reason was because the Barbarian God Emperor was too strong. Those who dared to criticize him would all die miserably.
As long as Chen Shaofeng was strong enough, it didn't matter if he angered the crowd.
Not to mention that this time, it was the work of the Monster race that had drawn the enmity of others. One could only blame it on the fact that there were too many random people who did not know what was right or wrong.
He definitely didn't want Chen Shaofeng to put in the effort to deal with these things.
To completely extinguish a rumor was not very difficult. There were even immortal arts to extinguish the rumor, but it was very time-consuming.
The human heart is a very ethereal thing, it is the most solid thing in the world, but also the most loose thing.
Most of the time, the hearts were loose, but under the concentration of the people, they became more solid.
The Monster race wanted to destroy Chen Shaofeng's reputation. Even though they had help from Kaiser, it still affected him.
Although the damage he did to Chen Shaofeng was almost zero, it still brought him some trouble that was not worth mentioning.
The Monster race hoped that this would affect Chen Shaofeng's cultivation.
If one had too many distracting thoughts during cultivation, it was very likely that it would hinder their cultivation progress.
Enlightenment City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Chen, I'm so sorry!" I clearly told you to come here as a guest, but this kind of thing happened. " Kaiser said somewhat helplessly.
What Kaiser was talking about was precisely the matter of the Demon Race releasing the rumours in the city.
Kaiser was well aware that these rumors might have an impact on a cultivator's state of mind. Thus, he immediately captured these people.2
However, it was too late. Rumors had already spread. Not just in the city of Kaiming City, but in other cities as well. Chen Shaofeng's reputation had plummeted.
Reputation is such a thing. It is difficult to establish and easy to destroy.
