Inside a grand hall, dozens of elders sat there with gloomy expressions. They were all powerful figures from Qinghe Palace, Silver Moon City, Jiuding Sect, and Purple Heart Island. Not a single disciple had come out—they had come to demand punishment.
Besides them, there was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and a long beard, his eyes shining sharply and standing out.
This person was not a powerhouse from the four great powers, but came from the Chu family, which represented the Chu family.
Among the crowd was another person, dressed in a black robe, with a cloak covering most of his face. However, the wrinkles on his face showed he was quite old. This person's aura was strange, appearing and disappearing at any moment, as if he could disappear at any moment. He was a powerful figure from the Blood Slaughter Hall.
People from Qinghe Palace, Silver Moon City, Jiuding Sect, Purple Heart Island, the Chu family, and the Blood Kill Hall all came. Their faces were grim, and they wanted to demand an explanation from Lingxiao Academy.
However, when they arrived, they waited a long time, but no one at the academy received them. Just as they were growing more impatient, someone shouted loudly, "
Master Long Chen of Lingxiao Academy has arrived."
With that voice, Long Chen, dressed in a black robe, hands behind his back, staggered with every step as he was surrounded by a crowd of people walking in.
Behind Long Chen were Yunyang Celestial Master, Dongming Celestial Master, the head of the Discipline Institute, and other high-ranking officials. Behind them were Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and Bai Xiaole, who could barely move.
Under the astonished gazes of those people, Long Chen walked with a reckless stride, scrutinizing these powerful figures with his nose, his face full of disdainful mockery.
When Long Chen approached the Blood Slaughter Hall expert, he suddenly waved his hand.
"Smack!"
A large slap landed squarely on the man's face. The man clearly hadn't expected Long Chen to make a move. By the time he reacted, Long Chen had already slapped him across the face, shattering his cloak and revealing an unremarkable old face.
"What is this?" He dares to hide in front of Third Master—is he twisting his craft? After Long Chen slapped him, he returned to his annoying expression and sneered at the old man through his nose.
The old man's face instantly turned a pig liver, murderous intent surging in his eyes. He was a high-ranking member of the Blood Kill Hall, a place of great honor, yet he never expected this rookie before him to dare to attack him.
Moreover, Long Chen's strike was lightning-fast, with a sharp angle, without any warning. Even the terrifying assassin licking blood on the tip of a blade still couldn't dodge.
"Ignorant brat, do you believe I'll kill you right now?" The old man shouted sternly.
"Do you believe that with just one order, everyone here will be killed?" Long Chen sneered, showing no fear in the face of the old man's fierce killing intent.
Master Yunyang said he was responsible for receiving these guys and could cause any trouble he wanted. With so many Celestial Master-level experts guarding him, who would Long Chen fear?
At the same time, Long Chen also knew that the academy wasn't afraid of these guys at all; it just couldn't be bothered to deal with them and didn't want to play games with them.
That's why he was called to step forward. On one hand, Long Chen was a witness to this great battle and had the right to speak.
On the other hand, the academy was also building momentum for Long Chen, laying the groundwork for his participation in the Jiuzhou Conference, so that he would gain a certain degree of fame and influence when he did.
With such great power, if he didn't make good use of it, he wouldn't be Long Chen anymore.
"What do you mean?" An elder from Qinghe Palace stood up and shouted coldly.
"Smack!"
Just as he stood up, Long Chen slapped him across the face. Caught off guard, he was slapped twice before finally falling to the ground.
"Third Master, do you have the right to interrupt?" Long Chen looked at the old man with an arrogant expression as he spoke.
Yunyang Celestial Master, Dongming Celestial Master, the head of the Discipline Institute, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
You have to know, the old guys here are all extremely powerful beings, far ahead of Long Chen in terms of cultivation, and possess strong combat instincts. Yet neither the elder from Qinghe Palace nor the assassins from the Blood Slaughter Hall can avoid Long Chen's seemingly ordinary slap technique. This move is truly astonishing.
Long Chen slapped both of them in succession, forcefully and domineeringly, making the faces of the experts present change. Their hands involuntarily pressed against their weapons, as if they were about to strike at the slightest provocation.
"What a bunch of idiots. I'll give you three time to count. If you keep acting like this fool, I, Third Master Long, swear to heaven, not a single one of you here will leave alive." Faced with these people's attitude, Long Chen said disdainfully.
"One"
"Two" Long
Chen immediately counted, but just as he was about to call three, the powerful figures present had to grit their teeth and put their weapons back.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth as he calmly walked to the main seat in the main hall, looking down at these people from above.
"Speak, what are you here for?" Long Chen crossed his legs, took the cup of tea Mu Qingyun handed him, took a gentle sip, set the tea down, and said calmly.
Long Chen's arrogance and disdain left the six major powers present both shocked and angry, not knowing what Lingxiao Academy truly meant.
Because the people behind Long Chen were Yunyang Celestial Master and the others, they were extremely wary, and since this was the territory of Lingxiao Academy, they dared not act recklessly. Suffering such humiliation had no choice but to endure.
"Who are you, sir? Are you qualified to represent Lingxiao Academy?" The middle-aged man from the Chu family said in a deep voice.
"You look like a human, so why are you talking nonsense? I came here to solve problems on behalf of the academy. Otherwise, do you think I'm just bored and bored, playing with you idiots?" Long Chen said disdainfully.
"You..."
The Chu family expert was so angry he almost lost his breath. Long Chen's words were so harsh that a single sentence could choke someone to death.
"Very well. Since you can represent Lingxiao Academy, then let's have a fair conversation. We're here on behalf of the Brahma Divine Venerable to ask where your Lingxiao Academy got the courage to slaughter the powerful figures of the five major powers and detain the followers of the Divine Venerable." The Chu family expert shouted coldly.
Long Chen looked at the Chu family expert, a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. As soon as he entered, he threw out the Great Brahma Heaven token—who are you trying to scare him?
"That's right, today we want Lingxiao Academy to give us an explanation." A powerful figure from Silvermoon City spoke with righteous confidence.
"Don't think your Lingxiao Academy can dominate the region. Let me tell you, if you anger the Brahma Divine Venerable, your academy will be wiped out in an instant." The powerful from Purple Heart Island also sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Who do you think you are? Don't you have any sense of what you think you are?"
Treating a chicken feather like an arrow, do you think our Lingxiao Academy is fools? You think you can represent the Brahma Heaven God Lord?
I can say this: with one order from Third Master Long, I will kill everyone here, and Great Brahma will not hold Lingxiao Academy accountable because of you.
If you don't believe me, let's give it a try. After Long Chen finished speaking, he slapped the throne with his large hand. Suddenly, runes lit up throughout the hall, and divine patterns converged, transforming into sharp swords aimed at the powerful figures. Their faces changed dramatically.
