Now he understood the group's intentions. The elder of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan was so furious that his long hair stood on end.
All the powerful members of the Xuan Beast Clan arrived, willing to submit to the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, and showed utmost respect toward them. This made the clan, humiliated for countless years, overjoyed, even somewhat overconfident.
Especially for these elders whose lifespans were running low, seeing the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan become emperors was beyond words. Watching the clan rise to the pinnacle of the Xuan Beast clan was enough to close their eyes.
Because of this, they didn't think too much about the Xuan Beast clan's surrender, because the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan could indeed rule the world under the Xuan Beast clan. Joining them was their only choice.
But they never expected that by defecting to the Zhuiyun Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, they would see them as mere shields and treat them as fools.
Wearing a crown for them only to shield them from disaster—the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan was being played as a sucker, leaving their eyes red with anger.
What they found most unacceptable was that these guys were trying to sow discord between them and Long Chen—their intentions were truly vicious.
That elder rushed out, but was held back by another elder. That elder was none other than Que Yingfeng, the most senior elder of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan.
Ashamed, he suddenly waved his hand and slammed it down on his forehead. Overwhelmed by anger, he actually tried to kill himself.
The experts of the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan were shocked. They hadn't expected this elder, in shame and anger, to commit suicide. It was too late to stop them, and countless cries of shock erupted.
But when Que Yingfeng's large hand was only three inches from his forehead, a hand grabbed his wrist.
"Long Chen, I ..."
Seeing that the person stopping him was Long Chen, Que Yingfeng was overwhelmed with shame. He had previously suspected Long Chen's motives, and now he realized how foolish they were. This foolishness not only hurt Long Chen's feelings for the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan but nearly plunged them into an irreversible situation. He could only atone with death.
"Senior, taking your own life like this is truly disrespectful." Long Chen shook his head and said.
"I, Que Yingfeng, am utterly foolish; I can only die to atone for my crimes." Que Yingfeng sighed.
"If you make a mistake and must atone with death, then perhaps there will be no living beings left in the whole world.
Making mistakes is not scary; only after making mistakes can people avoid repeating them again.
I, Long Chen, have made even more mistakes. Haven't you seen that I'm still shamelessly living here? And living happier than anyone else? Long Chen said with a smile.
"Long Chen, I really ...,"
Long Chen waved his hand and said, "Making mistakes doesn't matter between men or women, young or old, nor by seniority or seniority. When it comes to mistakes we've never made, we're all newbies."
Besides, if you kill yourself, you'll truly be a criminal of the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan. Using a useful body to do something unintentional is the greatest foolishness.
Don't think that the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan has avenged their humiliation and everything is over.
Now is the most critical moment for the Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, the Xuan Beast clan, and even all living beings on the entire Tianwu Continent. A single misstep could overturn the entire world.
Elder Yingfeng is a top-tier fighter in the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan. If a great war breaks out in the future, how many powerful enemies can you slay with your life? How many young lives of the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sparrow clan could it protect? If you die, who will shield those children who haven't grown up yet? Upon
hearing this, all the elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan lowered their heads in shame, especially Elder Que Yingfeng, who wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
"My life is not mine, but belongs to everyone in our Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan." Que Yingfeng took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
Seeing Que Yingfeng say this, a weight was lifted from Que Yuzhu's heart. She knew this old man very well with his rigid and stubborn nature. If he wanted to die, no one could stop him—not even she, the clan leader.
But with just a few words, Long Chen made Que Yingfeng bow his head and admit his mistake, change his mind, and he was filled with gratitude toward Long Chen.
Although Que Yingfeng was old-fashioned, stubborn, and sometimes even unapproachable, he had fought countless times for the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, covered in hidden wounds, and was the only surviving Supreme Elder.
All the strong members of his lineage had died in battle, leaving only him. It could be said that he had made countless contributions to the Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, so even she, as the clan leader, had to show him respect.
It was precisely because of this that Que Yingfeng's temper became increasingly strange. He was the only person in the entire Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan who dared to defy her, the clan leader, and Que Yuzhu had no choice.
But today, just a few words from Long Chen won Que Yingfeng's approval. While Que Yuzhu was pleased, he also greatly admired Long Chen. When it came to wisdom, the Xuan Beast clan truly lacked a lot.
Elder Que Yingfeng calmed down. Long Chen smiled slightly and set down the powerful member of the Xuan Beast clan in his hand. Long Chen looked at him and said, "
Actually, when I first saw you all, I already guessed your intentions almost perfectly."
If you truly want to surrender, you should do so when the Kunpeng clan's strong are wiped out and the weak flee.
You only need to capture some remnants of the Kunpeng clan and come to your door, showing the greatest sincerity.
But you didn't. Although you kept providing clues to the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan and helping to capture them, this was just a form of flattery, with no intention of surrendering.
You've been watching for so many days, and now you've suddenly appeared—your purpose is obvious. You're using the gradually growing hearts of the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan to blind them.
To be honest, I'm not trying to belittle your intelligence. When it comes to playing tricks, your Xuan Beast clan hasn't reached this level yet. Someone must be giving you advice behind the scenes. Many
of the Xuan Beast clan experts present looked somewhat anxious; clearly, they knew something.
However, some powerful figures looked completely confused, completely confused, unaware that there were so many twists and turns involved.
"We really are foolish, trusting people so easily." Que Yuzhu sighed. She was very happy that these powerful figures from the Xuan Beast clan had arrived. After all, this was a grand event, and for the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, it held great significance.
However, she was self-aware, so such a major decision still required Long Chen's opinion. Deep down, just like all the powerful members of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, she hoped to be crowned emperor.
Now that Long Chen had arrived and clarified everything, they realized this was a trap—a dazzlingly dazzling aura, but it came at a price of blood.
"Chief Yuzhu, we truly serve your Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sparrow clan as our emperors. We are willing to follow your example and obey your orders. Our sincerity is beyond doubt."
"That's right, we are sincere. No matter what, we are all the Xuan Beast clan. Now that the Xuan Beast clan is fractured, we need an emperor to lead us."
"Yes, our Xuan Beast clan should unite, or else we will become the first species to be wiped out during the Great Dark Age."
More and more mysterious beasts appearedThe clan powerhouses stepped forward to make their statements, their expressions grave and their demeanor very sincere.
"Long Chen, we were bewitched by the Divine Clan. It was our foolishness, but there is one thing you must admit: we truly pledged allegiance to the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan.
Wherever the imperial command lies, all our major races must obey orders. Wherever the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan points out, we will fight. Our destinies are bound together. The Xuan Beast clan expert who had been grabbed by Long Chen's neck earlier mustered his courage and spoke.
"Our Xuan Beast clan was once an enemy of you, and those were orders from the Kunpeng clan. We had no choice but to carry them out. The fault is not with us.
Now, the Great Dark Age is about to arrive. Without a single commander, our Xuan Beast clan will become a scattered mess.
We want to live, even if our generation dies in battle, at least our descendants can live on, and our bloodline can continue.
Long Chen, we beg you, please let us serve the Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Skysparrow clan as our emperor. From now on, as long as we have an imperial command, we will be willing to risk it and be shattered to pieces. An elder from the Xuan Beast clan, tears streaming down as he spoke, actually knelt before Long Chen.
The powerful members of the Xuan Beast clan here are all very old. They are not afraid of death; they are thinking of their descendants. By kneeling, they are essentially kneeling for their descendants.
As soon as the old man knelt, the other powerful members of the Xuan Beast clan also knelt down, but their knees couldn't even touch the ground before being bounced up by a force.
Long Chen waved his hand grandly, stopping their actions: "I, Long Chen, have never despised making anyone submit to me, nor do I need to trample on others' dignity to show my superiority and supremacy."
Since everyone has made their statements clear and things are sorted out, it's best to keep things innocent.
Previously, I opposed the Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan declaring themselves emperor because I didn't want them to be used, and I didn't want you to still follow the divine clan's orders and secretly sabotage them.
Now that the conversation is open, as for how the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan chooses, I won't be involved. After
Long Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Que Yuzhu grabbed him firmly. Que Yuzhu solemnly said, "
Long Chen, the reason the Cloud-Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Sparrow Clan has reached what it is today is entirely because of you. In terms of wisdom, that's our weakness."
But there is one thing we can do: we trust you wholeheartedly. Our Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan will always look up to you, Long Chen, and stand by your side.
Even if our Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan becomes the emperor of the Xuan Beast clan, we will always obey your orders. So, for the matter before us, you can decide with a single word. "
We'll do as you say. Give us an idea!" All the elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan looked at Long Chen.
For a moment, all the eyes of the powerful figures in the Cloud-Chasing Hall focused on Long Chen. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. With just one sentence from Long Chen, it would be a turning point in the fate of the Xuan Beast clan. Their hearts were all lifted.
