300: Chapter 300 Lord Zhuge, did you really become his concubine?

At this moment, the entire perimeter of the Central Plains Ancient Battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately following, there was a collective gasp of air so sharp it felt as if it could overturn the heavens.

The martial arts enthusiast known as "The Informant," who had just been analyzing everything so grandiosely, felt his legs go weak and collapsed straight onto the ground.

His eyes were glazed over, and he kept muttering to himself, "This is impossible... This is impossible... This is unscientific."

Only one thought occupied his mind: Dammit, once news of Su Chen's act of showing off in public today spreads, his own reputation as the person in all of Daxia who understood Transcendent Heroic Spirits best would likely be passed on to Su Chen.

Yet, he was not the most shocked person present.

The member of the Hall of Valor looked as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

He desperately pinched his philtrum, terrified that if he couldn't catch his breath, he would pass out right there on the spot.

"Hall Master... our mighty and heroic Hall Master... actually became someone's concubine?"

Thinking of Zhuge Jinyu, who was crazily pursued by countless men with excellent conditions, including Eleventh and Twelfth Stage martial artists, yet wouldn't even spare them a glance, it was unbelievable that she had been wooed by a Seventh Stage youngster with no background.

And she even willingly accepted him enjoying the company of multiple women. The Hall of Valor member felt his worldview collapse.

Meanwhile, the internet-addicted teenager who had been mocked by everyone earlier was flushed with excitement.

He held his phone high and roared to the heavens, "See that? I told you the novel didn't lie to me!"

"Su Chen is awesome (voice cracking)!!! A role model for our generation!"

The tens of thousands of spectators in the arena, whether they were high and mighty martial artists or commoners, were all completely petrified by this absurd scene.

And in this scene of "showing off in public" that shocked everyone, the unluckiest person was none other than the leader of the Fake White Snake Cult.

When she saw the elites from the High Martial Families she had brought with her being slaughtered within a few short minutes, she knew she had kicked an iron plate today that was strong enough to smash her to pieces.

She knew deep down that she was no match for these six women.

Moreover, Su Chen was truly terrifying. If she stayed here, who knew what else he might figure out or what kind of trouble he might stir up.

Therefore, taking advantage of the brief moment when Zhuge Jinyu and the other women finished their slaughter and scrambled to Su Chen's side to act spoiled and claim credit, the Fake Cult Leader bit her tongue and violently activated a spatial escape technique.

"Whoosh!"

Her figure turned into a black mist, instantly tearing through the void, and she fled desperately toward a large complex of buildings in the northeast.

"Oh no, she's running away!" someone with sharp eyes in the crowd exclaimed.

Although the martial arts enthusiast, The Informant, was still questioning reality, his "occupational habit" allowed him to instantly recognize the direction in which the Fake Cult Leader was fleeing. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted out.

"The direction she's fleeing in... that building happens to be the address of the Central China Region Hall of Valor."

"It's the place where the legendary Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Heroic Spirit, whose combat power is said to be number one in the world, resides."

"It is said that the reason she didn't choose to go to the capital to become the Hall Master of the North China Region Hall of Valor wasn't because she lacked the qualifications, but because she wanted to stay here. The Central China Region Hall of Valor has also become the only Hall of Valor not built in a major city."

"Especially that ancient building in the center of the Hall of Valor (which is actually the Star-Plucking Tower, also known as Suochen Tower)!"

"It is said that it was built by the Heavenly Fox Heroic Spirit with countless efforts to commemorate her deceased husband who died in battle."

"Usually, not even a fly can fly inside; she has always treated it like a precious treasure."

The Informant shouted excitedly, "The leader of the Fake White Snake Cult is panicking and picking her path blindly. If she dares to barge into that ancient building, she likely won't even need Su Chen and his group to take action; she'll be beaten into mincemeat on the spot by that short-tempered Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were fixed tightly on the black mist of the fleeing Fake Cult Leader, ready to watch the show.

After all, the legend of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Hall Master carrying her deceased husband and slaughtering her way to the Heavenly Court was quite well-known in Daxia.

Not only was there a novel specifically about this, but there were also many derivative anime, TV series, and movies. It could be considered a household love story.

Sure enough, the desperate Fake Cult Leader plunged into the grounds of the Central China Hall of Valor, heading straight for the ancient, cloud-piercing Star-Plucking Tower, attempting to use the complex terrain inside the building to cover her escape.

However, something that shocked everyone happened.

The Star-Plucking Tower, which The Informant described as a forbidden zone in Daxia where even a mosquito flying in would be incinerated into ashes by divine fire, did not react to the Fake Cult Leader's intrusion.

The Heavenly Fox Heroic Spirit did not take action, and not even a ripple of defensive array fluctuation appeared.

"What's going on? Is the Heavenly Fox Heroic Spirit not at home?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"That's impossible. Even if the Heavenly Fox Heroic Spirit isn't home, the arrays she set up shouldn't just let people pass through..." The Informant explained hurriedly, terrified of being wrong again.

Just as the Fake Cult Leader thought she had escaped and was about to dive into the interior of the ancient building, Su Chen, who had been standing in the center of the ancient battlefield with his hands in his pockets, suddenly sneered.

He didn't even turn around. He just, seemingly unintentionally, with his back to the Star-Plucking Tower, snapped his fingers sharply once more.

"Snap."

The next second, the silent and ancient Star-Plucking Tower seemed to come to life.

From the once unremarkable roof of the ancient building, four golden chains as thick as pythons suddenly shot out.

These four chains were like venomous snakes with eyes. They were so fast that one couldn't even see their afterimages, tracing four streaks of golden lightning through the air.

With a "thud," the Fake White Snake Cult leader, who was just about to dive through the window, didn't even have time to react before her four limbs were precisely pierced by these four golden chains.

Like a roasted suckling pig waiting to be slaughtered, she was pinned tightly to the outer wall of the Star-Plucking Tower, unable to move an inch.

"Ahhhhh—!" The Fake Cult Leader let out a shrill, desperate scream, and blood dripped down the chains.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of spectators, including The Informant, were truly and thoroughly dumbfounded.

If the "throwing themselves into his arms" by Zhuge Jinyu and the others earlier had just shattered their worldview, then this scene was simply rubbing their intelligence against the floor.

"This... how is this possible?!" The Informant grabbed his hair tightly, his voice trembling.

"This is the home the Heavenly Fox Heroic Spirit built to commemorate her deceased husband. It is her most sacred and inviolable forbidden zone."

"How could she possibly hand over the control method of this kind of defensive system to an outsider like Su Chen?"

"Could it be..." A terrifying, absurd, yet the only logical thought began to spread wildly in everyone's minds. Could it be...
