Bai Xiaole and the others were furious. This man was malicious and deliberately stirring up trouble, throwing dirt on Long Chen.
That so-called demonstration clearly referred to the Nether Ghost Seed. Although he didn't say it outright, no one knew the intention.
Following the sound, deep within the crowd, a man carrying two strange weapons on his back and wearing a bamboo hat that covered most of his face appeared in the crowd's sight.
The man wore a tight, fitted outfit, looking very capable. At his sleeve, purple-gold thread was woven into a single character.
"Nine Nether Hunter"—
everyone's hearts raced. That person was actually from the Nine Nether Hall. In the crowd, none of the people around him noticed him. It wasn't until he spoke that they recognized his identity.
To be able to hide himself in such a dense crowd—and not just in hiding, but because he was standing there, and no one noticed him.
As soon as that person spoke, those around him panicked in waves, all moving away from him. Only by being far enough away could people feel safe.
The Nine Nether Hunters are a force that strikes fear into countless people. Although rumors say they only hunt the Nine Star heirs, their strange methods of coming and going without a trace, killing without bloodshed, are truly terrifying.
The Nine Nether Hunters rarely appear directly in the Immortal Realm. Unlike the Blood Killing Hall, they are more secretive. Because of their mystery, people fear them even more.
"Gagaga...
When Long Chen saw the Nine Nether Hunter, his fists clenched instantly, killing intent surging to the sky. He instantly recalled the scene of the world-ending battle on the Tianwu Continent, and the sounds of those heroically fallen predecessors and brothers resounded.
At the same time, a surge of anger rising from the depths of his soul was rising. This person was stained with the blood of the Nine-Star heir, which he sensed.
As a fellow Nine Star successor, he felt the anger of the Nine Star successor he had killed, as well as the unwilling roar before dying. Vague images even surfaced—it was the scene of the person slaying the Nine Star Successor.
Long Chen's eyes instantly turned cold, murderous intent soaring to the sky. The entire fairy plaza had been enveloped in auspicious light, but as Long Chen's killing intent grew, the wind and clouds changed. Above the ninth heaven, thunder roared, and a terrifying, murderous aura enveloped the world.
Long Chen's killing intent triggered a celestial phenomenon, shocking countless people; they had never seen such a terrifying phenomenon before.
Even the six Immortal King experts changed their expressions. Long Chen's killing intent was terrifying—he even had to submit to the Heavenly Dao. Such a scene was beyond their explanation.
"What's wrong?" Hit a sore spot, so he turned hostile and wanted to kill to silence him? The person from Jiuyou Hall, facing Long Chen's earth-shattering murderous intent, smiled faintly and said disdainfully, seemingly not taking Long Chen seriously.
"In front of the fairy statue, provoking and causing trouble is forbidden." An Immortal King shouted harshly at the Nine Nether Hunter.
They could tell that Long Chen was on the verge of rage. This guy was deliberately adding fuel to the fire, while Bai Shishi, standing beside Long Chen, had already gripped the hilt of her sword with her jade-like hand, ready to fight at any moment. The moment Long Chen gripped the sword, even these Immortal King experts felt a chill run down their spine—they had to stop it.
"Dean Long Chen, you are the head of a courtyard. So young, yet with such an aura, it's only natural that people will criticize you.
To wear a crown, you must bear its weight. When you become so popular that it makes your mouth water, naturally more people will talk about you. You have to gradually adapt. Another Immortal King expertly said.
This man was mature and steady, and his words were pleasant. If he didn't attract jealousy, he would be mediocre. He had both flattered Long Chen and expressed his support. The word 'spit' alone proved they didn't believe the rumor.
Unfortunately, Long Chen did not listen to that person's words. His mind was filled with the roars and unwillingness of the Nine-Star successor who had been slain by that person before his death.
Long Chen and he were strangers, but both were heirs of the Nine Stars, yet he felt that the person killed was just as painful and hateful as he was.
"Perhaps this is fate. As the successor of the Nine Stars, I must bear this responsibility."
Long Chen gradually regained his composure from his anger, and his earth-shattering killing intent slowly reined in. Seeing Long Chen restrain his killing intent, Bai Shishi and the others also restrained their aura, which made the few Immortal King experts breathe a sigh of relief.
Only now did they realize just how terrifying Long Chen was. To be appointed dean, he truly had the strength.
As the killing intent faded, the seven-colored auspicious light once again enveloped the square. People were startled, and only then did they realize that Long Chen's killing intent could actually overshadow Fairy Tianhong's auspicious light.
It should be known that Tianhong Fairy is the faith of the entire Tianhong Domain. Within that auspicious light lies endless power of faith, intangible and substantive. By rights, it should be indestructible, but it was dispelled by Long Chen's killing intent.
"So it was just to scare people. What damn dean? He's just relying on his power and just empty fame." The Nine Nether Hunter sneered.
At this moment, even the faces of the few Immortal King experts changed. This man was utterly hateful. Just as he was about to act, Long Chen waved his hand and said, "
He's here for me. No need for you seniors to trouble yourselves."
Long Chen looked at the Nine Nether Hunter and said calmly, "I just destroyed the Blood Killing Hall in the Tianhong Domain, and there's nothing urgent lately. Why don't you tell me where your Nine Nether Hall is? I can come to you and get close to you." Killing
a Nine Nether Hunter could no longer quench the rage in his heart. He wanted to uproot the Nine Nether Hall and avenge all the Nine Star heirs. From then on, the name of the Nine Nether Hall would be added to his list of relentless lives.
"What?"
Even the few Immortal King experts were shocked, hardly able to believe their ears. The Blood Killing Hall of the Tianhong Domain was destroyed?
The experts here also wore expressions of shock, because once they entered the Fairy Plaza, under the auspicious light, everyone's communication talismans would become ineffective.
The people here had no idea what was happening outside. Now that Long Chen mentioned it, everyone was in an uproar, unsure whether this news was true or not.
"Threatening me?" Hahaha... The
Nine Nether Hunter laughed loudly at the sky, as if he'd just heard the biggest joke: "Do you think the Nine Nether Hall outside is like those useless losers from the Blood Kill Hall?"
Outside, the Nine Nether Hunters are all killing the Nine Star heirs, who are formidable fighters. Even such people can only become our prey.
The Blood Kill Hall issued the Blood Kill Order, but it couldn't do anything to you. Your head was destined to be cut off by my Nine Nether Hall.
As for whether you're a Nether Ghost Race, when you're on the verge of death, let's see how you hide now. Let's see how you go! "
Whoosh"
The Nine Nether Hunter sneered, suddenly becoming ethereal and then disappearing. There was no fluctuation of spatial power, not teleportation—it simply vanished. Even Immortal Kings felt their scalps tingle. The terror of this person exceeded their imagination.
"Divine Dao incarnation?" Interesting, very good. From now on, I'll add 'Nine Nether Hall' to my menu. Long
Chen smiled faintly, and deep in his eyes, a faint trace of excitement appeared. Slaughter seemed to be the thing Long Chen loved most deep within his soul.
