Jiang Baihe's blood energy erupted, divine might surging. From the strange phenomenon behind him, faint sounds of tigers roaring and dragon roaring could be heard. His blood energy covered the sky, and even from afar, people could feel the terrifying pressure of his bloodline.
Jiang Baihe's bloodline pressure was released, the fierce wind howling like blades. The mountains beneath his feet began to crack and collapse, countless stones churning in a shocking sight.
Even those familiar with Jiang Baihe were secretly shocked by this scene. They hadn't expected that Jiang Baihe had never truly shown his power in Yuhua Palace, and now he was finally unleashing his true power.
Relying solely on bloodline pressure alone could suppress a Divine Lord realm expert; his bloodline power was so strong it almost formed a domain.
"Too strong, bloodline suppression, unstoppable." An elder from Yuhua Palace at the late Divine Lord Realm couldn't help but sigh.
As a late-stage Divine Lord realm expert, he was still suppressed by Jiang Baihe's bloodline pressure, making it difficult to fully utilize his strength. Facing Jiang Baihe, he could only flee.
Seeing that late-stage Divine Lord experts all spoke so highly of Jiang Baihe, the disciples of Yuhua Palace also wore expressions of awe.
"Ancestor, did you see it? The White Crane's bloodline was so pure that even the late-stage first-generation Divine Lord experts were suppressed by him. Killing late-stage Divine Lord experts was as easy as slicing melons and vegetables.
Even I have to go all out to stay undefeated. Would such a genius be afraid of Long Chen? Jiang Weizhong looked at Jiang Baihe, whose blood surged and stood proudly and confidently.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Weizhong's mouth. This sarcasm was not only directed at Long Chen but also at Ancestor Yuhua. Growing old, his eyes were clouded.
But Ancestor Yuhua shook his head and said, "Do you know why I was awakened during my seclusion?" Jiang
Weizhong was taken aback. He really didn't know. He thought the ancestor had been watching Yuhua Palace's movements all along, but he didn't know the ancestor was in seclusion.
"Just before you could make a move against Long Chen, the Fortune Divine Pillar of Yuhua Palace began to tremble and change color, even cracking ...," said Ancestor Yuhua.
"This... How is this possible? Jiang Weizhong and all the other elders of Yuhua Palace were shocked.
The Fortune Divine Pillar was a supreme treasure left behind at the founding of Yuhua Palace, possessing the miraculous ability to predict fortune and misfortune.
Once the Fortune Divine Pillar sounded the alarm, it meant something threatening Yuhua Palace was about to happen, and if the pillar changed color, it meant the palace was at risk of destruction.
Historically, Yuhua Palace has faced several hardships, but the Fortune Divine Pillar could accurately predict good or bad fortune, turning danger into safety.
But not only did the Fortune Divine Pillar alarm and change color, it also developed cracks. This startled Ancestor Yuhua, who couldn't focus on his seclusion and hurried out, which led to everything that followed.
"I don't believe Long Chen has such ability. There must be something wrong with the Fortune Divine Pillar." Jiang Weizhong gritted his teeth and said, absolutely refusing to believe Long Chen possessed such terrifying power.
The Yuhua Palace Patriarch said calmly, "You don't believe it, and neither do I, but I believe the Fortune Divine Pillar will never have any problems."
I can't see through Long Chen's strength, but I can give you an analysis. Lingxiao Academy is the oldest academy among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
After countless years of silence, already on the verge of collapse, he still dared to oppose the Great Brahma Heaven, and for the sake of a disciple, he dared to break ties with Empuda.
Moreover, the branch of Lingxiao Academy had been destroyed for countless years. Today, Long Chen came holding the great seal of the Seventh Branch. He was already its dean, which meant Lingxiao Academy was about to reclaim the branch and launch a counterattack against Great Brahma.
As a vanguard, without the support of Lingxiao Academy, what could a mere fourth-level disciple possibly accomplish?
Long Chen's importance to Lingxiao Academy is beyond doubt. If you kill him, how can Yuhua Palace withstand the wrath of Lingxiao Academy?
Also, the two people beside Long Chen are siblings; they are the grandchildren of the current dean of Lingxiao Academy.
The Bai family has had seven generations with only one son, and you want to kill them just for a divine weapon.
Do you know how stupid you are? If you let me kill them, there will never be another Yuhua Palace in this world. Ancestor
Yuhua's voice was calm, but to everyone's ears, it sounded like thunder. They had no idea they had thought so far ahead, nor did they know that Lingxiao Academy possessed such terrifying foundations.
In their minds, Lingxiao Academy was like a withered old tree—no matter how tall, it was powerless to rejuvenate, and all that awaited it was decay and extinction.
Jiang Weizhong's face darkened. He knew more about Lingxiao Academy than most people, but he was only thinking about that long sword and hadn't noticed the identities of Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole.
Now that Ancestor Yuhua had brought it up, he felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he was the current palace master, and Ancestor Yuhua called him foolish, which was a huge loss of face.
"I was just trying to scare them a little. As the dignified Palace Master, would I really kill these juniors?" Jiang Weizhong said angrily.
"When you make a mistake, you don't dare admit it, and you make excuses to cover it up. This only shows your stupidity, but also your hypocrisy and inferiority.
Aside from this foolish act, the most foolish thing about you is that you personally killed your great-grandson, the genius who took thousands of years for the Chiang family to produce. "Ancestor Yuhua said coldly.
"Nonsense! Bai He can definitely kill this kid. Your old eyes are blind and your thinking is decayed; you're no longer fit to govern Yuhua Palace." Jiang Weizhong couldn't hold back any longer and roared.
His angry roar startled everyone, their expressions changing. Jiang Weizhong actually dared to insult the ancestor—this was no different from betraying one's master and ancestors—a grave taboo in the Immortal Realm.
"Palace Master, you have gone too far. The ancestor's analysis was absolutely correct, yet you insult him like this. Aren't you afraid of being mocked by the whole world?" Yu Xuan couldn't help but shout angrily.
In a fit of anger, Jiang Weizhong spoke such rebellious words, not keeping his mouth shut. He regretted it, but since he had said it, he couldn't take it back even if he wanted to.
Jiang Weizhong braced himself and said, "I was foolish and offended the ancestor. I will apologize to you here and then bow my head to apologize later."
However, regarding the White Crane matter, I firmly disagree with your view. If White Crane fails, I will resign as Palace Master and step aside for a capable person.
But if the White Crane wins and proves my point is correct, I ask the ancestor not to interfere in my decisions from now on. "
Patriarch Yuhua looked at Jiang Weizhong but was not angry; instead, he sighed and said, "Let the facts speak for themselves!" After
Ancestor Yuhua finished speaking, everyone turned to the distant battlefield. Jiang Baihe's blood and energy surged, his bloodline pressure radiating across the heavens and earth, but Long Chen showed no reaction, instead quietly watching Jiang Baihe.
"Have you seen the gap and lost hope?" Jiang Baihe's blood surged to the heavens, causing Feng Yun to change color. Looking at Long Chen, a trace of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you healed?" I've been waiting for you for a long time so you can die in submission. Long Chen said calmly, then a bone knife appeared in his hand.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen swung his long blade. The bone blade traced a graceful arc through the void before Long Chen hoisted it onto his shoulder. A crack left in the void that remained unhealed for a long time. At that moment, everyone in Yuhua Palace from top to bottom changed their expressions.
