As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared at him in shock, including members of the Luo family.
Although they hated the Bi family deeply and shouted to wipe them all out, it was still just a slogan and simply unrealistic.
The old clan chief would never allow them to do this. In the end, they had to return to the negotiating table, just stick to the old ways—bargaining, and finally reach a compromise acceptable to both sides.
In fact, although this incident was caused by the Bi family, Long Chen leading Luo Yanfeng and others to directly attack the Bi family was no longer reasonable.
According to the Luo family's expectations, the fact that neither side holds the other accountable is already the best outcome.
Because the Bi family had already lost a mid-stage Divine Emperor expert, and Long Chen had slain nearly a hundred elders of the Bi family.
As for the Bi family disciples, millions died. In contrast, not a single person from Luo Yanfeng's team had died so far, since Luo Yanfeng and the others were all the strongest among the strong.
The top experts of the Bi family had already lost their souls to Luo Yanfeng and the others, hiding them away by the Bi family. Most of the Bi family disciples in the square were second- or third-rate figures.
At first, they dared to act because Luo Yanfeng had few people, but despite the intimidating atmosphere, it was all just for the food delivery.
When a large number of Luo family disciples arrived, the Bi family disciples initially resisted, but it quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.
The Bi family lost a hundred men, while the Luo family lost at most one or two. The Bi family suffered heavy losses this time.
The Luo family members showed expressions of righteous indignation. The young disciples were naturally sincere, but half of the elder strong members of the Luo family were just putting on an act, aiming to gain more bargaining chips for the Luo family in future negotiations.
By then, as long as the clan leader does not hold the Luo family accountable, the world will be at peace.
However, Long Chen's offer left the Luo family's experts dumbfounded. He clearly had no intention of negotiating.
"This is a huge joke. So many people have died in the Bi family, and you still have the nerve to make such demands? You little beast..." an elder from the Bi family cursed.
"Pfft"
Just as he finished cursing, Luo Zichuan pointed a finger, and a beam of purple light shot out, piercing straight through his head.
Like Long Chen, Luo Zichuan hated this kind of address the most, because it was like insulting Long Chen's parents and his grandfather as well.
The moment Luo Zichuan made his move, the shadow guard opposite him looked embarrassed. He had confronted Luo Zichuan, yet Luo Zichuan had even killed the elder of the Bi family—this was clearly disdain for him.
At that moment, a pair of fiery red eyes appeared on his translucent face, with ripples appearing within them. Luo Zichuan immediately felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him.
Luo Zichuan gripped his long blade with both hands, his bloodline power slowly burning. Endless flames rose from within him, and he was already prepared to fight desperately.
Everything Long Chen did was under his orders. No matter how big the trouble Long Chen caused, he would cover for it, even if it meant endless ruin.
"Long Chen, you're putting me in a tough spot!"
Seeing the shadow guards on the verge of exploding, the old clan leader sighed.
"You don't need to make things difficult. Today, I want to tell everyone in the Purple Blood Clan that not all conflicts are resolved at the negotiating table.
Every life deserves respect; we are not pawns, nor are we chips.
Today, I will eradicate this cancer for the Purple Blood Clan, cure the poison and scrape the bones. This pain is something I must endure. Long Chen said coldly.
The old clan leader's so-called dilemma was that Long Chen had gone all down to a sky-high price, leaving them no room to bargain.
"Blood debts will
eventually be repaid with blood. Today, I will make the Bi family pay in blood!" Long Chen's face was sinister, his eyes filled with endless murderous intent. "Such arrogance. What if we refuse to accept it?"
The shadow guard finally couldn't hold back and said coldly.
"Are you deaf? Is my tone trying to discuss with you? Today, I'm making it clear here: no matter who it is, no one can protect the murderer of the Bi family.
If the old clan leader doesn't give the Luo family fairness, then I, Long Chen, will be the one to be the bad guy. Long Chen sneered.
"Hahaha..."
The shadow guard laughed bitterly in anger: "I want to see what kind of confidence you have to dare to say such an arrogant ...."
"Boom."
With a wave of his great hand, Long Chen shattered the void, pierced through the heavens, and a bronze ancient cauldron split open heaven and earth. In that moment, all paths collapsed, all laws retreated, and all the heavens and worlds trembled.
The War God Drum, which had been sealing the battlefield, slammed out with a thud and was pushed out by the bronze ancient cauldron. The bronze cauldron seemed like an emperor descending from a divine artifact. The drum before it was intimidated by its aura and trembled uncontrollably.
"Come on, keep laughing for me..."
Long Chen summoned the Qiankun Cauldron, and the shadow guard's laughter abruptly stopped. The moment he saw the cauldron, his eyes widened.
His originally transparent body gradually revealed itself under the divine might of the Qiankun Cauldron. It turned out that this shadow guard was actually an old man covered in scales.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
Qiankun Cauldron trembled, covering the sky, its divine might radiating across the nine heavens and ten lands. Even the old clan leaders and shadow guards at the Divine Empress stage felt as insignificant as ants before the cauldron.
"This is ..."
At this moment, the shadow guard couldn't even smile. His face was full of shock because he recognized the origin of this ancient cauldron. It was precisely because he recognized it that he was so shocked.
Whether it was the Shadow Guards or even the old clan leader, their hearts pounded wildly. Although the Shadow Guards had once said that Long Chen had a supreme treasure that could block his visits, and that the quality of this treasure was astonishing.
However, no one expected that this supreme treasure was actually the legendary Chaos Divine Artifact, the Qiankun Cauldron. Although they had never seen the cauldron before, they had seen the illustrated guide for it, and the pattern matched exactly as described.
Most importantly, who else could do something that made the War God Drum revere him?
"Are you still treating my words like a joke now? I said before, I'm not asking for your opinions.
Either you do it, or I do it myself. In any case, today, all participants in the Bi family must die.
Even if the Heavenly Emperor descends upon the person Long Chen wants to kill, he cannot protect him. Long Chen looked at the shadow guard, his voice icy cold.
At this moment, the shadow guards were completely stunned and no longer dared to argue with Long Chen.
Luo Zichuan also looked up at the Qiankun Cauldron above him, shocked yet filled with excitement. One of the legendary ten great chaotic artifacts was actually in his grandson's hands—such an honor that no one could matchNot excited.
At this moment, the Luo family disciples looked at Long Chen with eyes full of admiration and awe. In their eyes, Long Chen was like a god. While Luo Yanfeng and the others were excited, they also felt a wave of loneliness.
At that moment, it was as if they had become people from two different worlds with Long Chen. The huge gap made them feel that Long Chen was so unattainable that speaking to him was even a form of desecration.
"Fine, I'll do whatever you say!"
At that moment, the old clan leader let out a helpless sigh, and the expressions of Bi Yingxiong and the others instantly changed.
