The purple chains were incredibly fast; almost as soon as they appeared, they instantly bound Long Chen.
"What are you doing?"
Long Chen was furious. He struggled desperately, only to find that in this world, he had no strength at all.
"Struggle is useless. Since you carry the bloodline of my Purple Blood clan, you're destined to be here. You're just a lamb to the slaughter!" A man said with a sinister expression.
"Saying that again, why did you kill him?" One of the women said irritably.
But as soon as the woman spoke, the man who had been trying to scare Long Chen was speechless: "This kid is too rude. Can't I scare him a little?"
"This kid has such a strong killing aura. Can you really scare him with that expression? Stop wasting time and get to work."
The younger generation must have a reason for sending this kid in. The woman said irritably.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, purple flames surged around Long Chen. At that moment, the scorching heat scorched his soul, and he immediately felt a sharp pain in his soul.
"You old lanterns, what are you up to?" Long Chen cursed loudly.
"Old Deng?"
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what he meant, but judging by Long Chen's expression, they knew it wasn't a nice thing.
"Ah..."
Long Chen suddenly roared, black runes swirling around him. The black runes exuded a chilling ghostly aura, sending chills down one's spine.
"There really is a problem—it's the Ghost Emperor's mark!" Everyone gasped in surprise.
"You brat, how did you get touched by the Ghost Emperor's mark?" One of them shouted.
"None of your business, stop now." Long Chen shouted.
"This child is crazy. The Ghost Emperor's mark is on you. Sooner or later, you'll become its slave. Don't worry, we'll help you eliminate it." The man leading the group comforted Long Chen at this moment.
"Afraid of you, damn it. I'm really useful keeping this stuff." Long Chen roared angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This thing could be deadly. Besides, how can a disciple of my Purple Blood lineage bear the Ghost Emperor mark on them? This is a disgrace to our Purple Blood lineage. The leading man shouted angrily.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop messing around, I really have a handy job!" Seeing the man about to make a move, Long Chen cried out in alarm.
This Ghost Emperor mark was picked up by Long Chen on the ghost ship. At that time, his strength was weak and he didn't feel anything before it was planted.
Later, during a breakthrough, Long Chen secretly had part of his blood soul power stolen, all because of the Ghost Emperor's mark. The Chaos Dragon Emperor had told Long Chen not to pay attention to it, saying that if you sow a seed in spring, you'll harvest ten thousand dan of grain in autumn.
At the time, Long Chen didn't understand what it meant, but as his cultivation gradually improved, he slowly grasped the Chaos Dragon Emperor's intentions.
And the Ghost Emperor mark on his body was a bond. If the Ghost Emperor mark was erased, the blood souls he lost would never be recovered.
Seeing that everyone was trying to kindly help him remove the Ghost Emperor mark, Long Chen was so frightened his face turned green. He shouted,
"Don't let your good intentions go wrong! This Ghost Emperor Mark really works for me—it's tied to a huge investment of mine!"
However, no matter how much Long Chen screamed at the top of his lungs, it was useless. These people didn't believe his nonsense at all, thinking he had been corrupted by the Ghost Emperor's will and had already lost his mind.
"Don't waste words with him. If we don't save him now, it'll be too late." Seeing Long Chen's ferocious face as if he was about to go mad, they believed that what was struggling now was not Long Chen but the will of the Ghost Emperor's mark.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious, but this space was extremely strange. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't use it. Even the perception of the Qiankun Cauldron and the Evil Moon of Dragon Bone had been stripped away.
"Buzz!"
Just as everyone was about to peel off the Ghost Emperor's mark,
a noble and sacred will suddenly emerged.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the chains binding Long Chen shattered with a loud crash. At that moment, everyone stared at him in shock.
"What is this... "
Thud, thud, thud..."
These ancestors of the Purple Blood lineage actually knelt slowly before Long Chen. Long Chen had been furious, but the sudden turn of events left him dumbfounded.
"Buzz"
At this moment, the divine will slowly dissipated, and the entire world gradually returned to its original state.
"Um... Although you were at fault first, you are the ancestors of the Purple Blood clan. If you act like this, I will feel embarrassed. Long Chen looked at everyone, a bit embarrassed.
Just now, he had been so angry that he didn't know what had happened. He only knew that as he struggled desperately, an invisible force erupted, shattering the chains. He thought the Chaos Pearl had sensed his danger and helped him.
Everyone slowly stood up, and when they looked at Long Chen again, their eyes filled with endless awe.
"Since you insist on keeping the Ghost Emperor mark, then leave it to you. But I want to warn you: as your strength increases, the Ghost Emperor mark will erode your will and nourish your inner demons. You must be very careful." The middle-aged man leading the group said.
Long Chen nodded and said, "I understand, junior. I will be careful."
At this moment, Long Chen also put away his previous arrogance. On one hand, it was because they truly meant well; on the other, they had put away their condescending attitude. Naturally, Long Chen could no longer be arrogant.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the world before Long Chen's eyes changed. His mind withdrew from the totem pole, while Luo Yanfeng and the others remained asleep.
Long Chen stared at the totem pole, speechless for a long time. Why would the ancestor of the Purple Blood lineage suddenly bow so deeply to him, and why did the person he was bowing to seem to be not himself?
Seeing Luo Yanfeng and the others still asleep within the divine radiance of the Totem Pillar, their bloodline power seemed to enter a state of dormancy. Seeing that he was safe, Long Chen left the Totem Hall ahead of him.
Long Chen had just left when the old clan chief appeared in the main hall. He approached the Totem Pillar, bowed respectfully, and then appeared inside the Totem Space.
"Greetings, ancestors."
After entering the space, the old clan leader knelt respectfully. These were all the heroic spirits worshipped by the Purple Blood Clan, who had given so much for them. This respect came from deep within their souls.
"Get up!" The middle-aged man leading them personally helped the old clan leader up and said,
"What is your purpose in bringing him in?"
"Right now, our lineage faces a critical moment of choice and compromise, and Long Chen is the key among the most critical points.
I sensed a powerful killing intent and an evil aura from him, but what power does he possess that blocks my detection? I can't decide whether I can trust him.
After all, this matter concerns the rise and fall of our lineage, honor and disgrace. I can only trouble you all. The old clan leader said.
"He is trustworthy, that's beyond doubt, but let me remind you, he is uncontrollable." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
The old clan chief was also ejected from the totem space. Staring at the totem pillar, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes as he murmured:
"Uncontrollable?" What kind of instruction is this?"
