Long Chen and the others were directly transported by the power of that drop of water to a plaza. Rather than a plaza, it was actually a clearing in the forest.
Around this clearing, tree trunks could be seen, but the canopies were nowhere to be seen. The trunks stood like pillars holding up the sky, exuding an endless sense of oppression.
The open area spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, packed with people, but there was a dividing line between them. People on both sides were facing off, and the air was thick with a heavy aura, making it hard to breathe.
Long Chen and the others were directly teleported to the Undying Clan's side, and at the very front. Long Chen had just sensed countless auras identical to Liu Ruyan's when countless divine senses from the Undying Nether Willow Clan swept across them.
"Good grief!"
When those divine senses swept over Long Chen, he was startled. Among these divine senses, there were at least eighty thousand, if not a hundred thousand, of the Divine Empress-level experts.
Most importantly, as these divine senses swept over Long Chen, he felt his soul space tremble slightly, as if all the secrets in his body were about to be revealed within that divine sense.
These Divine Empress-stage experts were far stronger than any Long Chen had encountered.
Even the leader of the Night Demon clan was insignificant in front of them. Even though Long Chen was used to grand scenes, he was stunned by the lineup of the Undying Nether Willow clan.
Clearly, among the disciples of the Undying Dragon Locust clan, there was actually a human mixed in, which made them extremely puzzled. They all scanned with their spiritual senses, trying to see what was going on.
While Long Chen was shocked, these people were even more shocked. He was just a minor Heavenly Saint, yet their divine senses couldn't detect his bloodline or soul power. It was actually isolated by a mysterious force.
While these people scanned Long Chen with their divine senses, he boldly looked toward the Undying Nether Willow clan.
Only then did Long Chen realize that the location where they had been teleported was precisely within the strongest camp of the Undying Netherwood Clan. So many Divine Empress-stage experts, and having such a group of children thrown in was truly eye-catching.
"No way, what if a fight breaks out later? There's nowhere to run, damn it!" Long Chen was completely stunned. Seeing the tension between the two sides was about to drop, it seemed nothing good would happen.
Suddenly, Long Chen looked toward the core area of the Undying Nether Willow clan, where he saw a beautiful woman dressed in a green palace gown, her hair styled high in a cloud-like bun.
The woman looked to be around thirty, with an air of nobility and a dignified demeanor. Her eyes carried an innate nobility, standing among the crowd like a crane among chickens.
When Long Chen looked at her, she looked back at him, but her eyes only swept over him without lingering. Her beautiful gaze gradually shifted toward the powerful figures before her.
Long Chen also looked across from them. Countless powerful figures were radiating demonic energy, their faces cold and sharp, eyes icy and icy—clearly no easy faction.
"Also from the Tree Demon clan."
Long Chen was stunned when he saw this group. What was going on? The Undying Clan was also a tree demon, but the aura of these beings before him was completely different from that of the Undying Nether Willow.
Their aura reminded Long Chen of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily—their evil aura was so similar.
Their aura carried the scent of decay and death, but the aura of the Undead Clan was not evil; instead, it carried a sacred aura close to that of the Spirit Clan.
Long Chen and the others suddenly descended, and only the frontline elite of the Undying Nether Willow clan noticed them; the others didn't see them at all.
The powerful figures opposite didn't even spare them a glance; their eyes were fixed intently on the noble and elegant woman.
Long Chen quietly glanced across from them. The lineup opposite him was no weaker than the Undying Nether Willow clan. Like them, all the members ahead were at the Divine Empress stage.
Among the group, led by an elderly man in a gray robe, his face was full of wrinkles, with a hawk's nose and lion's mouth, sunken eye sockets, and his pupils covered in blue patterns,
making him look extremely eerie. Although this man was old, he had jet-black hair, and the black hair, combined with his bark-like cheeks, gave off a very discordant impression.
"What a terrifying old fellow!"
Long Chen looked at the old man, the hair on the back of his neck standing on end. This old man was too dangerous, and Long Chen's intuition told him to stay as far away from him as possible.
"Our Da Luo Qinglian clan has come with the whole clan to pay their respects, yet Liu Changtian refuses to show himself. Does he think I am unworthy to see him?" Finally, the old man spoke, shattering the silence between heaven and earth.
As soon as the old man spoke, myriad paths resonated, and his voice echoed from every corner of heaven and earth. The voice penetrated everywhere, reaching deep into the soul, impossible to defend against or refuse.
What level of existence is this, anyway? Any sound you make can pierce straight into your soul. If you launch a sonic attack, wouldn't I not even have a chance to fight back before I could be killed?
"This is definitely an existence above the Divine Emperor. "
This was the first time Long Chen had seen such a terrifying presence. In front of him, a Divine Empress-level expert was like an ant, completely on a completely different level.
This was the first time Long Chen had encountered such a terrifying presence that left him completely defenseless. This time, his eyes were truly opened.
"Wait, Da Luo Qinglian?" What is that thing? What is the relationship between the Demon Eye Water Lily and them?"
Long Chen suddenly thought of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily and looked into the distance, but the opponent's strength was overwhelming. They stood there, the surrounding space slightly distorted, and Long Chen's gaze could not clearly see the situation behind them.
Long Chen didn't dare to use his divine sense to probe. If he was discovered, the opponent would launch a soul attack. A master of that level would be beyond his ability.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, a lotus seed appeared in Long Chen's hand. It was the seed of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily, which he usually used as medicine. Now, he took out one and placed it in his palm.
Sure enough, the moment the lotus seed appeared, it trembled nonstop, as if summoned by something, and was about to slip away from Long Chen's grasp.
Long Chen immediately put it away. It turned out that members of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily clan had also arrived, and they were among the crowd. It seemed the Demon-Eyed Water Lily clan was likely one of the vassal forces of the Great Luo Azure Lotus.
Facing the aggressive demands from the Da Luo Qinglian clan, the beautiful woman said calmly, "My husband is still in seclusion and cannot receive guests."
But you, sir, you neither submitted a formal letter nor sent envoys, yet you barged into my Undying Demon Forest like this. Shouldn't you give us a reasonable explanation?"
"Hahaha..."
Hearing the woman's words, the old man's face turned grim as he said, "
Is Liu Changtian in seclusion? Could it be that he's already dead? "
Buzz"
The moment the old man spoke these words, all the powerful members of the Undying Nether Willow clan surged with murderous intent.
