Chapter 1716 - In Full Swing
Chapter 1716: In Full Swing
The media revealed the grand lineup of the Sword Alliance’s banquet on that day itself.
Not only were there many photos, but also many videos as well.
Everyone was discussing it on the internet at the moment.
After all, those who participated in the banquet were the cream of the crop from grade-5 organizations at the very least.
Regular people were not worthy of participating.
Moreover, there were many bosses present at the banquet.
Aside from the top Heavenly God-level powerhouses ranked on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, many half-step lord-level and lord-level powerhouses attended.
Including God Capital, all of the leaders of the grade-7 organizations in the God Territory were there. None were absent.
It could almost be described as an unprecedented grand occasion in this era of the God Territory.
The netizens started a party on the internet and indulged in gossip.
The first thread that went viral was posted by a true god-level netizen—”The Sword Alliance’s Chief and the Wanted Mysterious Man”.
There was a sentence in the thread that went, “Don’t you guys think that the Sword Alliance’s chief looks a lot like that mysterious powerhouse called Lin Huang who was wanted by all organizations?!”
The thread soon started heated discussions among many netizens.
“I thought I was the only one who thought that way.”
“I thought they looked a little alike when I saw his picture just now, but I didn’t think too much about it.”
“There’s a high chance that they’re the same person!”
“Did you guys notice that the wanted order from before has been silently removed?”
“Now that you said it, I suddenly realized that I really haven’t seen that wanted order lately.”
“Oh, my. It gets scarier the more I think about it!”
…
In the end, an anonymous netizen replied in a thread below.
“They’re the same person. The Sword Alliance’s chief is called Lin Huang as well. All organizations removed the wanted order because they found out about his identity.”
Many netizens replied to the thread, attempting to ask for more information, but the anonymous netizen did not reply further.
Within half an hour of the thread being posted, an insider revealed that the Sword Alliance’s chief was called Lin Huang!
This had become the first hot topic of the night.
Meanwhile, the second hot topic was—”Who is That?”
As there were many powerhouses who hardly appeared in the media, many netizens had no idea who they were. It had prompted the most frequent question that everyone asked once the photos and videos were revealed—”Who is That?”.
Among those, Lancelot was the one that most people asked about.
The reason was because some media personnel who were present leaked the videos of Lancelot beating Shen Jue in one hit.
Many knew about Shen Jue from God Capital. They knew that he was a veteran Lord from God Capital, and that he was even the current God Emperor Shen Tu’s senior.
Therefore, Lancelot’s performance placed him in the limelight.
However, not many could answer that question.
Only an anonymous netizen replied to that, “This person is called Lancelot. He’s the Sword Alliance’s chief’s confidant. His details are unknown, and he’s suspected to be a middle-rank Lord from the universe.”
There was no other information apart from that.
The netizens did not really want to give up at the beginning. They wanted to find out more.
However, they could only give up since they could not discover anything. They shifted their attention to someone else.
Apart from Lancelot, the person who was asked about the most was Xeno’s Beth.
Unlike Kylie, who had been the subject of news on the internet before, it was the first time Beth had appeared in public after many years.
She had a unique charisma about her. Not only that, she was Xeno’s vice president. She was mysterious and powerful. Naturally, she attracted the attention of the netizens easily.
“I’ve never heard about this beauty named Beth before. She was elected as Xeno’s vice president directly. There’s obviously something fishy about this!”
“Perhaps she is in an affair with Old Man Link o(*￣3￣)o”
“Whether that’s true or not, her ability is definitely powerful enough to be able to sit in this position.”
“Which one of you jerks will find out about it?!”
…
Very soon, someone answered that anonymously.
“Beth is a super genius who ranked top three on the Heavenly God Leaderboard when she was a Heavenly God. Many people might not remember her now, but she rose to fame before Buried Heaven and King Kong did. However, she suddenly vanished over 7,000 years ago, and there has been no news about her since then. She only reappeared a few months ago, and her combat strength has broken through to lord-level. As she was Xeno’s core member before, Xeono made her the vice president directly after her return.”
The person who replied was clearly an insider.
“So she’s a lord-level boss. We’ve been rude!”
“As I thought, Old Man Link doesn’t deserve her…”
“A capable beauty, I love her already!”
“Sister Beth, please marry me!”
…
After Beth, the person who was being asked about a lot was Sword 1.
Many female accounts posted threads to ask, “Who is that handsome man standing next to the Sword Alliance’s chief?!”
In reality, the men and women who attended the banquet were quite good-looking.
However, Sword 1 managed to attract all of the ladies’ attention among all the men present.
Lin Huang was handsome himself. Based on his own aesthetic sense, he rated himself 95 points.
However, the impression he had when he first saw Sword 1 was, “He’s more handsome than I am!”
Sword 1 was not the kind of soft, feminine man that many ladies liked. He was the handsome and cool kind of man.
As many ladies asked about that, someone soon answered them anonymously.
“Sword 1, a Sword Servant under Lin Huang and Sword Alliance’s current vice chief. His combat strength is at the ninth-rank heavenly god-level. We have no precise information about him. Judging by his aura, he’s only half a step away from breaking through to lord-level. His ability should not be below King Kong and Peerless Overlord.”
“So my husband is called Sword 1!”
“I’ve made up my mind to cultivate Sword Dao and to join the Sword Alliance!”
“Sister, you don’t have to cultivate Sword Dao in order to join the Sword Alliance. Cultivators of other Daos can apply to join as well.”
“Who said that I’m cultivating Sword Dao to join the Sword Alliance? I’m doing that for my Sword 1!”
…
Sword 1 had never thought that he would gain many female fans overnight.
Since the topic “Who is That?” started, the identity of most of the people at the banquet were eventually uncovered by the netizens.
The Lords’ and half-step Lords’ pasts were exposed.
Naturally, some of this information was true, and some of it was fake.
The netizens did not care though. They took each story seriously.
“I don’t care. If I think the threads I read are the truth, then they’re the truth.”
“God Capital’s God Emperor Shen Tu wet his bed when he was 30. True!”
“God Capital’s God King Shen Lu can’t get hard. True!”
“God Capital’s God King Shen Jue likes young men. This is definitely true!”
…
They discovered many things about all of the organizations. The Sword Alliance was the only one that nobody could find anything about.
The most they found out was that Lin Huang was a human, and that he might have the backing of a major organization in the universe.
However, there was no useful information about his Sword Servants like Sword 1, nor anything about his imperial monsters like Lancelot.
Many were making up stories on the internet, but they were soon criticized by someone from Divine Clapnet.
“The tens of thousands of members from Divine Clapnet have been gathering information for over a month, and we didn’t find any information about these people from the Sword Alliance. You guys sure are amazing at making up stories!”
