"On behalf of the Divine Clan, I apologize to you for this matter."
Shen Chengfeng and Long Chen left the entrance of the Yin-Yang Realm and found a secluded spot. Shen Chengfeng sighed and said.
"Whether I apologize or not, I don't care. I want to know, why are they targeting me? Who is that Ye Yaochen?" Why target me? Long Chen asked.
Shen Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This matter is a bit complicated, so it's not convenient for me to talk about it right now."
But you don't need to worry. Elder Long values you highly, which is why he transferred me back from the ancient battlefield.
There are some things you know now, but it doesn't mean much. All I can tell you is to seize this opportunity. The Star Domain Divine Realm is crucial for Tongming Realm experts.
Just look at the gap between those imperial relatives and our divine clan—you'll understand: only by working hard to improve yourself can you have more room to survive.
Before I came, I investigated you. There's something you say, and I really like it: Practice is for living with dignity.
But in this world, just living is already very difficult, and living with dignity is even harder.
He worked hard to secure this spot, accumulated more trump cards for himself, and had more influence in the future. Shen
Chengfeng's words were very sincere, but he didn't point out the key issue, as if there was some hidden hidden truth.
"Then I want to know, what would happen if something like this happened again?" Long Chen asked.
"Don't worry, I'll warn them. This absolutely won't happen anytime soon." Shen Chengfeng said.
If it won't appear in the short term, does that mean it will appear again in the future? Long Chen seemed to understand something; the waters within the Divine Clan were very deep.
"I am not content to be someone else's pawn." Long Chen shook his head; he really disliked this feeling.
Shen Chengfeng smiled, "Heaven and earth are the game; all beings are pawns. Once everyone is born, their fate is destined.
Cultivating hard and improving your strength—isn't it all about stepping out of the chessboard and seeing different lives?
Without strength, you don't even qualify to jump onto another chessboard. The piece is part of the process; no one can escape. The only difference is the final result—can the piece break free from its ultimate fate and become the player. Long
Chen was startled and looked at Shen Chengfeng. He realized that Shen Chengfeng had such a clear understanding of the world—his wisdom was beyond what ordinary people could match.
"I've learned a lot." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
Shen Chengfeng shook his head and said, "You're too kind, sir. I was born at the wrong time, and the years have worn down my edges. A chess piece is still a chess piece."
And you have always maintained sharp edges. It seems your personality will never change for the rest of your life. So there are only two possible endings: either transcendence or destruction.
I hope it's the former, so don't miss any opportunity to improve yourself. Opportunities often hide in risks—the greater the risk, the higher the reward. It all depends on whether you can handle it. Long
Chen nodded. He could feel that Shen Chengfeng spoke from the heart. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and the person appointed by Elder Long is truly excellent.
"Let's just leave this matter for now. When you have the ability, you'll deal with it. How about that?" Shen Chengfeng said.
"You actually said that, sir. What else can I say?" Long Chen shrugged and said, "If Long Chen keeps making trouble and insists on the Divine Clan give an explanation, it would be a bit unappreciated."
Moreover, Shen Chengfeng was defending Long Chen in his words. How could Long Chen have the nerve to keep chasing?
Additionally, Long Chen had already sensed that within the Divine Clan, there must be secrets unknown to outsiders, possibly related to internal power struggles.
Just as Shen Chengfeng said, dwelling on this now is really pointless. If things are made clear, it would only be detrimental to Long Chen.
Shen Chengfeng also said that letting things go for now didn't make Long Chen give up the grudge, but rather waiting for him to gain strength before settling scores. This was something Long Chen found very hard to refuse.
Shen Chengfeng smiled and turned to leave. But after just a few steps, he suddenly stopped, paused for a moment, then turned back and said, "
The power within the Divine Clan is complex. You just need to remember, Elder Long is impartial and selfless—a true man. If you ever encounter difficulties, he will help you. Be careful and protect yourself."
Long Chen nodded and cupped his fists. The fact that Shen Chengfeng said such things showed that this person was a friend worth making friends.
Shen Chengfeng left with his men. Before leaving, he sternly scolded the divine clan relatives, telling them that if there was nothing important, anyone who would fake a forbidden communication would be killed.
When someone said Long Chen had violated the Heavenly God Order, Shen Chengfeng sneered: The Heavenly God Order clearly states that no one or any force is allowed to attack Long Chen. The so-called attacks include verbal attacks.
After saying this, Shen Chengfeng led his men away. The faces of the divine clan relatives turned dark and grim.
"Arrogant, huh? No matter how arrogant you are, or looking at people through your nostrils? Seeing the Divine Clan relative suffer a setback, Guo Ran shouted with schadenfreude.
Even he could see through it. These divine clan relatives were nothing but the dogs, acting like demons and dogs, relying on their power. In reality, they were not even a feather of their own, only knowing how to use chicken feathers as command arrows.
"You..."
The Divine Clan relatives trembled with anger.
"What do you mean, you?" Didn't you hear what that gentleman said? No faction is allowed to attack the Dragonblood Legion. Verbal attacks count as attacks. If you dare insult me, believe it or not, I'll slap you hard! Guo Ran finally seized the opportunity, pointing at the nose of the elder relative of the Divine Clan and cursing with such arrogance that he looked utterly intimidating.
Those powerful figures opposing the Dragon Blood Legion felt a chill in their hearts. The Divine Clan had shielded Long Chen so much, even ignoring the death of his imperial relatives.
However, they all saw through it that Zhao Feng was being ordered around, and the person who ordered Zhao Feng seemed to have a significant background. Shen Chengfeng had no choice but to smooth things over, making the big issue a small and a small one.
However, after this incident, no one dared to criticize Long Chen anymore. Long Chen was not even afraid of the Divine Clan; there probably had no rules to restrain or provoke him, which was no different from courting death.
"Hmph!"
The elders of the Divine Clan's maternal relatives looked grim, snorted coldly, and were about to leave.
"Stop," Long Chen said coldly.
"You... What do you want to do? Let me tell you, we did not provoke you. The elders of the Divine Clan's maternal relatives changed their expressions; they thought Long Chen was looking for trouble with them.
"Doesn't the Divine Clan assign someone to control for us?" Long Chen looked at them in shock and sneered, thinking they were just a bunch of bullies who fear the strong.
Hearing Long Chen say this, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief. One elder said, "
We'll make arrangements for you later."
"I want to do it right now. If I delay this important matter, can you bear it?" Long Chen shouted, afraid these old ghosts might act up and deliberately delay him.
"In an hour, the people we arranged for will arrive." The old man, helpless, had no choice but to agree to a specific time.
Originally, they didThey planned to keep holding Long Chen along, to test his sharpness and make him yield to them.
You have to know, the Divine Clan had them assign someone to Long Chen, who would give him a detailed introduction to the history of the Blood Clan, the division of combat power, the distinction between bloodline races, types of divine abilities, and so on.
This was extremely important to Long Chen. They weren't afraid that Long Chen wouldn't ask for help, but Long Chen seemed to see through their tricks at a glance and forced him to send people immediately. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, if you need us to do anything, just let us know." A righteous cultivator ran over excitedly.
"That's right, Senior Brother Long Chen. Although we can't join the battle, the key is, if we do, it will only cause trouble. It's better not to fight at all, but it's still fine to help out a bit before the war."
"Yes, for rough work and such, we can lend a hand. Senior Brother Long Chen, please don't be so polite."
"The great battle is imminent. Please tell the Dragonblood warriors to rest well. We'll handle some of the menial tasks."
For a moment, the righteous disciples came running over excitedly. They were all wearing their sect's attire, but each wore a 'Alliance' badge on their chests. This was the symbol of the Tianwu Alliance—in other words, they were all one family.
Faced with their enthusiasm, Long Chen smiled and said, "Thank you all so much, brothers. Perfect, we need to set up some things and might need your help. But as promised, there won't be any pay, but good wine and meat will fill us up." "
Hahaha, great, being able to drink with the top experts of the Tianwu First Legion—I could brag about that for a lifetime." The disciples were overjoyed to see Long Chen not refuse.
"Alright, brothers, you all go back and rest for a bit. We'll discuss the deployment. Once it's settled, everyone can start working together." Long Chen said.
The righteous disciples all returned to their tents, excitedly waiting for Long Chen's summons.
These so-called tents were actually teleportation arrays directly connecting to the sects of major powers.
If anything goes wrong, the powerful figures from each major faction will be directly teleported here to provide support.
Long Chen didn't set up a teleportation array, because it wasn't needed. Even if a powerful member of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan flew over, it wouldn't take much time.
Long Chen arrived at the entrance to the Yin-Yang Realm. The space trembled, and within tens of thousands of miles of entrance, the imperial seal had already begun to dimm. Inside, chaos prevailed, and the situation opposite was invisible.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran had already begun observing the terrain. They needed to make the strongest deployments. This battle could only succeed, never fail. This concerned the lives of the Dragonblood Legion, so they had to be extra cautious.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, I was sent by the Fifth Elder and will follow your orders." Suddenly, a timid voice rang out. Long Chen turned around and saw a short, somewhat dark-faced woman approaching nervously.
This woman was of average appearance and had dark skin. When she approached Long Chen, he could clearly sense her fear, as if she were about to face a death god.
Long Chen understood now. That old idiot from the Divine Clan had deliberately brought over an unremarkable person to provoke him. This old man really was an idiot, daring to make things difficult for him.
"Don't be afraid. Let me ask you, is it true that those old folks don't think highly of you?" Long Chen asked.
