Long Chen suddenly shouted into the void. Everyone looked at it. As Long Chen's voice fell, the void slowly twisted, and a group of elders stepped forward, including seven more. One of them was Elder Long.
Elder Long smiled slightly: "Long Chen, congratulations on advancing to Tongming. From now on, the road ahead is broad and glorious." "
Endless glory?" I'm afraid that's not entirely true. Your divine race is lofty and holds the fate of the entire world. Whoever you say is black, you are black; whoever you say is white, you say so. I, Long Chen, am just a martial artist—how could I catch your eye? Long Chen sneered.
Long Chen was very dissatisfied with Elder Long, and much of his previous goodwill had faded. Originally, Elder Long had taken over all of Long Chen's affairs.
Later, Elder Long left and entrusted the situation here to Shen Chengfeng of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion. But when Long Chen returned, Shen Chengfeng had actually been replaced by Ye Benchang. He didn't believe Elder Long didn't know about this.
"Long Chen, there may be some misunderstandings in this matter. Just now, Elder Ye Yaochen just wanted to stop you and figure out what happened. You were just too nervous." Elder Long shook his head.
Ye Yaochen? Long Chen suddenly remembered: before leading the Dragon Blood Legion in the Yin-Yang Realm to resist the blood clan, they had encountered a group of people who made things difficult for Long Chen and deliberately provoked him. It was a group of divine clan relatives who backed them up and deliberately made Long Chen look bad, thinking that with the Divine Token in effect, Long Chen wouldn't dare do anything.
But Long Chen didn't get used to their bad habits and killed people. Long Chen remembered he grabbed a Divine Clan relative named Zhao Feng and interrogated him about why he was targeting him.
At that moment, Shen Chengfeng appeared. Long Chen threw Zhao Feng to Shen Chengfeng to demand an explanation. Zhao Feng was so scared he wet himself and revealed who had ordered him. Long Chen remembered that the name he mentioned was Ye Yaochen.
Wait, wasn't it said that Ye Yaochen was only thirty-seven years old? Why does he look like seventy-three? But Elder Long clearly pointed out this person's identity on purpose, so there shouldn't be any mistake.
"Elder Ye Yaochen is the youngest among our Tian-generation elders. He is only thirty-seven this year. However, within the realm of life and death reincarnation, the form of life keeps changing. Now that he is in a state of decline, it's not surprising." Elder Long noticed Long Chen's confusion and spoke up.
It turned out that the eight elders here were all Tian-level elders of the Divine Clan, but only Ye Yaochen took action; the others watched quietly.
In a place unknown to Long Chen, there was a pair of eyes quietly observing everything here.
"Long Chen, release Ye Benchang immediately and take me with me to investigate everything thoroughly." Ye Yaochen's face darkened, his eyes flashing with venom, like a venomous snake ready to pounce and bite Long Chen to death at any moment.
But he didn't rush over directly. Long Chen glanced at Ye Yaochen, then at Elder Long and the others, seemingly understanding something, and sneered, "
What are you investigating? Are you a constable? Or the Judge? It's so simple, yet Ye Benchang killed me on purpose, and now you want to investigate? Are you blind? Or is your head full of crap? One
was named Ye Benchang, the other Ye Yaochen. Clearly, they must be from a faction, even a family. Letting him go would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain.
"Wuwu... Ye
Benchang was gripped by Long Chen's throat. He wanted to say something but couldn't, only making whimpering sounds. His soul was suppressed by Long Chen's primordial spirit; with just a thought, Long Chen could kill him. He didn't dare transmit a soul message to Ye Yaochen.
"Long Chen, Elder Ye Yaochen is right. As the saying goes, 'When the sun rises and the tide recedes, the truth comes out.' I suggest you consider Elder Ye's proposal." Elder Long said calmly.
Hearing Elder Long say this, Long Chen immediately understood. Elder Long was hinting to him that he shouldn't be afraid of Ye Benchang's threats, otherwise he wouldn't have said "consider it."
Among the eight elders, seven simply watched quietly. Clearly, Ye Yaochen had no absolute authority; Long Chen could accept it or not.
Could it be that Elder Long has been wronged? Or is it that the Divine Clan is even more complicated than Long Chen imagined?
"Elder Long, what do you mean? Long Chen is just an ordinary disciple. The orders of our divine clan—how could he have any room to consider them? Ye Yaochen snorted coldly. He could also sense Elder Long's hidden meaning—this warning was rather obvious.
"Elder Ye, that's not quite right. Our Divine Clan is simply for the sake of all living beings, cooperating with the heroes of the Tianwu Continent to resist foreign enemies in the absence of the Great Emperor.
To put it simply, everyone is working together. Although our Divine Clan is stronger and leads this battle, everyone on the Tianwu Continent has the right to express their differing opinions.
Elder Ye, your domineering behavior may go against the original intentions of the Lord and make him displeased. Elder Long shook his head.
Upon hearing the words "Lord Lord," Elder Ye Yaochen's expression immediately darkened as he shouted at Long Chen:
"Long Chen, this matter involves the Divine Clan. Before everything is fully resolved, release Ye Benchang and hand him over to our Divine Clan for judgment.
Once we clarify the facts and determine right and wrong, there will naturally be a fair judgment. Our divine race will give you a satisfactory answer. "
Right and wrong? Judgment? Facts? Catch a few scapegoats, shift the blame, and end up with no witnesses to die?
Playing this kind of trick with me? At first, Elder Long said you were thirty-seven. I really couldn't tell from your looks, but now I believe you can say something so brainless. Long Chen looked Ye Yaochen up and down and sneered, "
Ye Yaochen, let me ask you, you're a high-ranking elder of the Heaven generation. How have I, Long Chen, offended you? Why would you target me like this, trying to kill me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Yaochen snapped coldly.
"Pretending, keep pretending?" I stopped playing tricks like yours when I was young. Long Chen sneered.
He realized that the higher his cultivation, the lower his intelligence, and the more basic his tactics became.
These methods are basically child's play in the Fengming Empire, hardly worthy of respect, yet these super experts love to play with such things.
Perhaps because their strength is so great that they don't need to think at all, all these excuses seem so far-fetched and laughable.
"Long Chen, I order you to call Ye Benchang out now..." Perhaps because he was too young and not steady enough, Ye Yaochen shouted sternly.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Ye Benchang in Long Chen's hand exploded with a roar, turning into a mist of blood filling the sky. For a moment, all the powerful figures from Dan Valley, the Ancient Clan, the Xuan Beast Clan, the Evil Path, and the Tianwu Alliance were stunned. The vast battlefield was so still it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Long Chen actually killed Ye Benchang, and in front of eight Heaven-level elders of the Divine Clan. You have to know, those were eight fourth-step Tongming Realm experts. Long Chen actually killed the commander of the Heavenly Dragon Legion. Was he about to declare war on the Divine Clan?
"Long Chen, ..." Ye Benchang's eyes were bloodshot. Long Chen had actually killed Ye Benchang. After all, he was his own nephew.
"It's not my fault. You were too loud and scared him into self-destruction. It has nothing to do with me." Long Chen hurriedly waved his hand, looking innocent, and slowly stepped back, as if he was very afraid.
"Long Chen..."
Ye Yaochen's face twisted. Long Chen's name popped out through his teeth, and that bone-chilling killing intent erupted from him.
"Whoosh
."
Long Chen actually moved and fled at high speed. Ye Yaochen roared:
"Trying to run?" Risking your life. But
just as he moved, Elder Long suddenly blocked his way. Elder Long said calmly, "
Elder Ye, what are you doing?"
This was clearly asking knowingly, wasting his time and creating a chance for Long Chen to escape.
Ye Yaochen roared, "Get out of my way, or don't blame me for turning my back on you." Facing
Ye Yaochen's furious shout, Elder Long smiled slightly and said, "It's fine not to recognize him, but do you also recognize the person above?" After
Elder Long finished speaking, he pointed to the void above. Only then did Ye Yaochen look up, and suddenly his expression changed.
At that moment, a voice came from the void: "Right and wrong will be discussed later. Don't act rashly." "
The voice was not loud, but it was filled with undeniable authority, but that voice was limited to the eight elders; no one else could hear it at all.
Just moments ago, Ye Yaochen had been like a mad dog, but now it was as if he'd been hit hard, and he didn't even dare to fart.
"Rumble rumble...
Suddenly, the void rumbled. People looked toward Long Chen and were startled. Long Chen's escape was actually just a cover; he had actually charged toward Di Feng in the distance.
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon gleamed with evil light, murderous intent soaring to the heavens. Long Chen did not flee at all, but instead took the opportunity to approach Di Feng, intending to kill him.
Di Feng's face changed dramatically. After the previous battle, he was utterly exhausted, his body covered in wounds, unable to recover in time, yet Long Chen charged at him like a deadly demon king.
Although the army of the Ancient Family Alliance stood behind him, it gave him no sense of security. Suddenly, a strange phenomenon trembled behind him. Within the vision, the Blood Emperor's giant hand spread wide, enveloping him, while endless runes swirled, forming a massive rune shield.
"Boom!"
Long Chen slashed down, shattering the rune shield. Long Chen slashed again, tearing apart his two giant hands.
Runes scattered across the sky, and the celestial phenomena vanished as well. But Di Feng had already vanished. It turned out Di Feng was extremely cunning. Realizing something was wrong, he actually activated his secret technique to escape.
Moreover, before escaping, to buy some time, he transformed all his strength into a shield to withstand Long Chen's strike and ensure absolute safety. It was clear that Long Chen had already killed him to the point of fear, not daring to be careless.
"Buzz!"
Runes scattered across the sky. Di Feng disappeared, and suddenly a distant figure was completely enveloped in black runes. Spatial power erupted—it was Tian Xiezi activating a secret teleportation technique.
With a loud explosion, a blood-red arrow flew in, and a yellow talisman hung from it, exploding beside Tian Xiezi.
"Hehe, trying to leave? Dream on. Xia Chen and Guo Ran chuckled, joining forces to interrupt Tian Xiezi's teleportation. At that moment, Long Chen was already charging toward Tian Xiezi like a bolt of lightning.
