Long Chen originally wanted to take action himself, but felt he wouldn't stay here forever, so it was more appropriate for Luo Zichuan to step in.
If he made a move, people would think Luo Zichuan wasn't a man enough. Revenge was meant to be handled by his grandson, fearing the Bi family's future retaliation would be a lack of responsibility.
And Luo Zichuan would be the head of the Luo family in the future. If he didn't even have the courage to kill his enemies, the Luo family wouldn't say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they would inevitably leave a bad impression.
Now the Luo family is already locked in a bloody battle with the Bi family, and their hatred has completely erupted. If they keep hesitating, they will show too little decisiveness.
Long Chen had killed countless people and didn't mind killing even more. After all, this was the Bi family's own doing, so no one else was to blame. Still, Long Chen felt that with his grandfather's intervention, he could establish his authority, unite the Luo family more, and at the same time, intimidate other families—killing two birds with one stone.
However, unexpectedly, the old clan chief acted first. Long Chen was momentarily stunned, then a complex look appeared in his eyes.
Long Chen and Luo Zichuan exchanged a glance; neither of them expected that the old clan leader would ultimately side with the Luo family.
All the top disciples of the Bi family were killed, along with the family head and core elders. The Bi family lost its former glory, and from now on, in the Purple Blood clan, it would likely have to keep a low profile.
"Long Chen, let's remember this grudge."
A Bi family disciple roared in anger. His roar terrified the other members of the Bi family, fearing that Long Chen, in a fit of rage, would wipe out the roots completely.
Long Chen said coldly, "Remember, forgetting hatred is tantamount to betrayal, just like the Bi family bullied our Luo family for countless years."
So many geniuses in our Luo family died mysteriously. Do you really think we don't know who did it? Do you think everyone else is a fool?
If you go out in business, you'll have to pay it back sooner or later. Today, I'm just here to reclaim what your Bi family owes us, with interest.
The previous matters have been wiped clean up with the incidents involving Bi Yingxiong and the others, but if you want revenge, that's fine. We'll open a new account book.
I, Long Chen, have never shown the slightest mercy to my enemies. Don't give me a chance, or else..."
As he spoke, Long Chen waved his longsword, and sticky blood stained the sword splattered out.
"Clang!"
The long sword sheathed its resonant, its echo echoing in the sky for a long time.
The voice was like the cold roar of a god, or perhaps the whisper of a demon, or perhaps even the agonized wails of the slain elders.
Long Chen didn't say anything more, but that sword cry said it all: if you give me a chance to wipe out the root, I wouldn't mind.
The shadow guards disappeared with dark faces, and Long Chen also retracted the Qiankun Cauldron. In reality, Long Chen summoned it just to scare people.
It couldn't directly participate in battle, but Long Chen didn't need it to fight; all he needed to do was suppress the War God Drum.
Because the old clan leader wouldn't intervene; only the Shadow Guards would act. However, according to Long Chen's estimation, Grandpa's strength was no less than his.
Moreover, Grandpa was in his prime, while the shadow guard was clearly weakened. As long as Grandpa could withstand his first fierce assault, victory was assured.
Besides, he had a demon race's charged divine weapon, so Long Chen didn't believe he would dare to push him too hard. So, this shadow guard was just a sucker—powerful, but not very smart.
Even if, in the worst case, Grandpa's strength was slightly inferior, Long Chen still had the Demon Moon Cauldron, the Heaven-Flipping Seal, and Huo Ling'er—especially the Heaven-Flipping Seal. If he secretly gave him a brick, the Shadow Guards might not be able to defend against him.
With so many trump cards in his hands, if Long Chen still had to make concessions to the Bi family, he might as well die in shame.
In fact, the Shadow Guards also knew that this was the Bi family's fault.
The Bi family really ought to be dealt with, but Long Chen's methods were too ruthless and his attitude too arrogant, which he couldn't stand at all. But if he couldn't stand it, there was nothing he could do. His strength was obvious, and he couldn't really kill Luo Zichuan to fight him to the death. No wonder he was mentally unstable. In the end, he left in frustration.
The other clans' strong figures witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a bit distressed. Although the Bi family brought this upon themselves, such internal strife was truly hard to accept, especially at such a critical moment.
All the major families led their people away, their hearts heavy with emotion. This battle dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Purple Blood Clan.
The Bi family disciples either wore faces full of fear, anger, or some were left dumbfounded, not knowing what they were about to do.
Finally, after being reminded by others, they began collecting the bodies in the square. The elder of the Bi family wanted to order the square to be cleaned but was stopped by the old patriarch.
"No need to wash it anymore. It won't be long before we move."
Hearing the old patriarch's words, the Bi family members finally left. Luo Zichuan, seeing that the old patriarch had not left, gave Luo Yingchen and the others a meaningful look.
Luo Yingchen immediately understood and left with the Luo family members. For a moment, the vast square was left with only the old clan leader, Long Chen, and Luo Zichuan.
"Old clan leader, why are you going through this trouble? My Luo family is responsible for everything I do. Why do you need to get involved?" Everyone had left, and Long Chen couldn't help but speak up.
Originally, whether it was Long Chen or Luo Zichuan intervening, this matter had nothing to do with the old clan leader. When they entered the legendary Imperial Mountain, the Bi family would definitely complain to other branches of the Bi family. This kind of thing can't be kept secret forever.
Even so, it had nothing to do with the old clan leader. Still, if the old clan leader executed the Bi family members, half or even more of the responsibility would fall on him.
So, the old clan leader's intervention left Long Chen and Luo Zichuan stunned.
The old clan leader gave a bitter smile and said, "I was incompetent and had no choice but to hold the position of clan leader."
I've been working hard to balance the grudges among the major families, always waiting. As long as I can safely bring everyone into Dishan, my mission will be complete.
But now, with it about to be completed, things still escalated to this point. Sigh, to be honest, it's all my fault.
If I had been tougher, stricter with the Bi family, maybe they wouldn't dare to be so reckless.
The Bi family's mistake is also mine. How could I avoid responsibility?"
"Old clan leader, please don't say that. Lord Yingchen has always said that all these years, you have been secretly taking care of us. Otherwise, it would have been a problem for our Luo family to survive.
After all, at that time, the ancestor of the Bi family was still alive, and you couldn't do anything about them. We understand your difficulties. Luo Zichuan hurriedly said.
At that time, the Bi family also had a powerful figure at the Divine Empress stage, so even the old clan leader was somewhat wary.
Later, the Bi family patriarch died suddenly for unknown reasons, but the Bi family kept the matter secret, falsely claiming the ancestor was in seclusion and continued to use the ancestor's name to act tyrannically.
Although the old clan chief sensed something was wrong, he didn't expose them; he was just trying to find outWhen that happens, he secretly helps the Luo family, which helps them not feel so sad.
The old clan leader shook his head and said, "
Now is not the time to talk about this..."
"Boom!"
At that moment, a loud explosion rang out, The entire territory of the Purple Blood Clan suddenly shook.
"The demon army has mobilized in full force and has already surrounded this place."
