Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2649

Chapter 2649: Promotion

Yuan smiled at the Ironwoman’s question and responded with a question of his own, "What do you think?"

The Ironwoman narrowed her eyes at him and replied, "I don’t think you’re human, but I doubt you’re a Void Specter, either."

Yuan chuckled at her response before turning to Mei Feng and asking her, "What about you?"

"Something that doesn’t belong in this world," she calmly responded.

The Ironwoman was slightly surprised by Mei Feng’s response.

"Anyway, I have an idea why they think I am a Void Specter. It’s just a misunderstanding," Yuan said a moment later. "Are they making a big deal out of this or something?"

"No... not yet." Mei Feng shook her head. "But it will become an issue once news spreads in the other cities—if it hasn’t already."

"Can’t you just tell them it was a misunderstanding?" Yuan asked.

"Of course I can. The real question is whether they’ll believe us," Mei Feng replied.

After a brief pause, she continued, "That being said, the existence of a humanoid Void Specter is simply too outrageous. Without concrete evidence, I doubt most people will accept that such an entity exists. In fact, they’ll probably find it much easier to believe the whole thing was a misunderstanding than to accept that a humanoid Void Specter is real."

"So what you’re saying is... to just ignore it?" Yuan asked.

"For now, yes."

"..."

The room quickly fell silent afterward.

"Is that all?" Yuan asked a moment later.

"No, we’re about to go into the main topic," Mei Feng responded before her expression turned dead serious.

"You... Did you fight the Void Hunter before coming back to the city?" Mei Feng asked with narrowed eyes.

"I did."

Yuan answered immediately and without the slightest hesitation, catching them off guard. They hadn’t expected him to admit it so readily.

"What’s with the surprised look?" Yuan remarked after seeing their faces.

"Well... I was expecting you to keep it a secret..."

"Why?" Yuan calmly replied. "It wouldn’t benefit me to keep it a secret."

In his eyes, the more people who knew about his achievement, the better his reputation would be, which would allow him to progress faster in this world.

However, Mei Feng thought differently.

"Are you thinking that letting the world know you fought—and survived—the Void Hunter would help with your recognition?"

Yuan quietly nodded.

"While I will admit that you will definitely become the most famous individual in the world, it’s not necessarily a good thing."

The Ironwoman then said, "Throughout history, only two people have ever fought the Void Hunter and survived. The first was Tian Yuchen, and now, you’re the second."

"Tian Yuchen was already a renowned figure before his battle with the Void Hunter, but surviving that encounter propelled his reputation to the very peak of the world. And because he was affiliated with our city, the other eight cities immediately became wary of us and began working together to suppress Gaia’s Heaven, fearing that we had grown too powerful."

"In order to prevent a war from breaking out, Tian Yuchen ultimately had no choice but to sever his ties with our city and become an independent figure, unaffiliated with any city, power, or individual."

"You, on the other hand, are practically unknown outside our military. If word gets out that we have someone capable of fighting the Void Hunter and surviving, the other cities will undoubtedly see us as a threat."
