"Grandpa"
Looking at Luo Zichuan's tall figure, Long Chen couldn't help but feel moved. Such a traditional and rigid man was actually willing to stand up for him and the entire Purple Blood clan's leadership.
You have to understand, Luo Zichuan places great importance on seniority. Facing elders in arms is considered a grave act of treason and unforgivable.
Luo Zichuan had once endured countless hardships and near-death lives to save the ancestors of the Luo family, yet now he was facing them head-on, fighting to the death. Thinking back, how ironic that was.
What shocked everyone was that although Luo Zichuan was clearly at the early Divine Emperor stage, he was actually standing his own against the shadow guard at the Divine Empress-stage stage.
"Not asking about the right or wrong?" Unclear about right and wrong? Then tell me, why did Long Chen lead his men to attack the Bi family, fighting among themselves, and causing rivers of blood?" The Shadow Guard shouted angrily.
"Although I don't really know what exactly happened here, I trust Long Chen. He must have his reasons for doing this.
If he did wrong, I am willing to atone with my life, but may I ask, Lord Shadow Guard, if you did wrong, would you act like this?" Luo Zichuan looked at the shadow guard, his expression solemn as he spoke.
"You..."
The Shadow Guard was both shocked and furious, but left speechless by the question.
He hadn't killed Long Chen, and he knew there had to be a reason. But whatever the reason, they were family—couldn't they just talk things through?
Moreover, the old clan leader had already calmed the situation, yet Long Chen still killed someone. This was clearly a slap in the face to both him and the old clan leader. How could he not be furious?
Hearing his grandfather's words, Long Chen's eyes reddened slightly. Such absolute trust moved everyone.
Luo Zichuan lived a heroic life, fearless of death, but he kept himself pure, and most feared leaving a stain on himself. To be allowed to wield his blade against the ancestors of the Purple Blood clan—how much trust did that take?
At this moment, Long Chen spoke up, sneering, "Didn't Old Deng from the Bi family say that no matter what mistake someone makes, shouldn't it be reported to the clan leader and left to the clan council for judgment?"
As a Divine Empress-stage powerhouse, you've lived quite a bit—don't you even understand this principle?"
"Nonsense... The
shadow guard was furious, but was interrupted halfway through by Long Chen:
"You know he's talking nonsense. I killed him just to prove what he said.
Since you couldn't stay calm, Lord Shadow Guard, didn't report to the clan leader or the clan council, and instead attacked me directly,
If you can't do it, why should you expect us to do it? The Bi family mobilized all their experts to surround and intercept us, determined to wipe us all out.
You only saw us kill them, but didn't you see how many of our Luo family's sons died tragically at their hands?"
The louder Long Chen spoke, the angrier he became. Every word was like a sharp sword, leaving the Shadow Guards speechless and unable to respond at all.
"Nonsense! How many of you have died, and how many of us have you killed?" Bi Yingxiong was sealed and unable to speak. An elder of the Bi family stepped forward and shouted angrily.
"That's right, you only lost a little over a thousand men, while we lost over forty thousand on the battlefield. This place is even ...," another elder from the Bi family shouted excitedly.
But halfway through the shouting, he suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped, because the first half of the sentence would basically expose the fact that the Bi family had ambushed and killed a disciple of the Luo family.
Although everyone already knew what was going on, some things, as long as they refused to admit it, there was still room for negotiation.
The Bi family were experts in lawsuits, skilled at stirring gourds like eggplants, stirring up trouble and muddling the waters, and in the end, they just got a little punishment and got it done.
Because of this, the Bi family became increasingly cunning and bravado. After the last incident with Bi Wan'an was resolved, they showed no restraint and resorted to even more ruthless tactics.
"What do you mean only a little over a thousand died?"
Hearing the elder's words,
Luo Ying could no longer hold back and sobbed, "We didn't provoke you, we didn't provoke you. We just want to cultivate well, work hard to grow, and see the outside world."
Before dying, a brother tightly held my hand. Do you know what he said?
He said, let me live well, to ... for him. Go see that vast and boundless world for him... Ah..."
At this point, Luo Ying could no longer hold back and burst into tears. The Luo family disciples, thinking of their fallen brothers and sisters, all wore faces full of hatred.
"You beasts, no matter how many die, so what? Can you compare to my brothers and sisters?" Luo Jiang roared angrily.
"Clan Chief, please uphold justice and let us fight the Bi family to the death. We will fight to the death, and our Luo family is willing to fight to the last man." Luo Yanfeng shouted.
"The Luo family is willing to fight to the last man!"
"The Luo family is willing to fight to the last man!"
"..."
The Luo family disciples roared loudly, their voices shaking the sky. Countless years of humiliation had driven the disciples to a complete eruption.
They didn't even know what had happened, but they knew that no matter what happened, they were mortal enemies of the Bi family. Once war broke out, it would be a fight to the death, with no need for a reason.
Facing the hysterical roars of the Luo family disciples, the old clan leader sighed inwardly. The grudge between the Luo and Bi families had finally reached an irreconcilable point.
"Long Chen, say something!"
The old clan leader took a deep breath and said to Long Chen.
Although among the Luo family's powerhouses, Luo Zichuan was the strongest and could fight against a Divine Empress-stage expert, the old clan leader knew that only Long Chen could resolve this crisis.
At the same time, he cursed the Shadow Guard as fools. At a time like this, he was still adding fuel to the fire. The Shadow Guard's earlier actions nearly scared him to death. If Long Chen had recklessly detonated that charged dagger, the entire Purple Blood Clan would be finished.
Even with the War God Drum, it couldn't suppress it. At the very least, not a single disciple from the two clans on the battlefield would survive.
This guy is still living in his former glory, using the old tricks to deal with Long Chen. The key is, who is Long Chen? How could he possibly let you manipulate him?
At this moment, lowering one's stance and speaking softly was the only way out. Being too tough like he did would only make things worse.
And just now, the dagger in Long Chen's hand trembled violently, and the old clan chief's heart nearly stopped in fear.
If it weren't for the shadow guard's status being on par with his, he would have cursed him. He said I'd do it, so why did you get involved? Now, with him and Luo Zichuan facing off, the situation was extremely awkward.
At this moment, the old clan leader looked at Long Chen, and everyone's gaze turned to Long Chen. In that instant, everyone's hearts leapt into their throats—a single word from this young man would determine the fate of both families.
Long Chen's face darkened as he looked at Bi Yingxiong in the distance, his eyes filled with icy murderous intent:
"If you want a ceasefire, no problem, I have only one condition."
"Speak."
The old clan chief already had a bad feeling but still braced himself and spoke up.
"Everyone in the Bi family, regardless of age or status, anyone who participated in the ambush against our Luo family disciples—whether directly or conspiring behind the scenes—will be executed! Long
Chen's icy voice echoed throughout the entire square.You can switch chapters using the left and right ← → keyboa
