Chapter 255: The Heaven-Abandoning Emperor Arrives 1
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Outside the Immortal Tower.
Jian Wuming wore a strange expression, not moving for a long time.
Earlier, when he conceded and withdrew from the Immortal Tower.
He seemed to have heard someone's enraged roar.
What exactly was shouted, he had not heard clearly.
But it was enough for Jian Wuming to confirm that the swordsman who had just defeated him was indeed not the true Lin Qi.
So, who exactly is this fellow?
Jian Wuming was pondering.
Someone from the crowd of spectators outside the tower came up to him and asked.
“Fellow Daoist Jian Wuming, did you encounter Lin Qi?”
Jian Wuming had not yet answered.
The Immortal Tower flashed with golden light, revealing the scene of the earlier battle between Jian Wuming and the Peerless Young Master.
Everyone was in an uproar.
“So he really ran into him!”
“Fellow Daoist Jian Wuming is truly too unlucky.”
“Indeed.”
“If not for running into Lin Qi.”
“With Fellow Daoist Jian Wuming’s cultivation and strength, he should have had a good chance at three consecutive victories.”
The crowd all voiced their indignation on Jian Wuming’s behalf.
Jian Wuming quickly said.
“Fellow Daoists, it is simply that my skills are inferior.”

“If everyone learned from him and acted so recklessly.”

“Exactly!”
Another person spoke up.
“Fellow Daoists from other Star Academies support one another.”
“They will try their best to figure out ways to let their own Star Academy’s Fellow Daoists occupy a few more spots on the Golden List.”
“That Lin Qi, on the other hand.”
“Forget not helping, he even strikes out and causes internal strife.”
“It is simply outrageous!”
The crowd was indignant.
Jian Wuming said helplessly.
“Everyone may have misunderstood.”
“I advise you all to say a little less.”
“Actually, I am only worried you will be beaten by him.”
“Trust me.”
“That fellow inside really would do it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was dead silence.
After a pause, someone quietly left.
Afterward, the cultivators gathered before the Immortal Tower dispersed one after another.
Jian Wuming did not leave.
He stood before the Immortal Tower, quietly waiting for the Peerless Young Master to appear.
And he did not make Jian Wuming wait too long.
