On the plaza of Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, tens of thousands of experts dressed in different costumes appeared, and the academy's senior leaders were also present. The entire plaza was filled with the leaders of all the human forces in the Moluo Star Domain.
Xue Yifan also appeared. In the large plaza, everyone else was standing, except for Xue Yifan and the other eight elderly men who had seats.
Tens of thousands of late-stage Realm King experts could only stand quietly, each wearing a serious expression and a stern expression. The atmosphere in the vast square was somewhat heavy.
When Long Chen, Guo Ran, and the others returned, tens of thousands of powerful figures turned their gazes toward them in unison. Their gazes were somewhat cold, tinged with pride and mockery—in short, they weren't very friendly.
Under the gaze of so many people, Guo Ran couldn't help but feel anxious. He had been walking side by side with Long Chen, but couldn't help but fall a step behind. With Long Chen ahead, he felt much more at ease and the pressure was much less.
Facing the gaze of tens of thousands of powerful warriors, Long Chen felt nothing. He had fought all his life and witnessed every scene; these were just minor formations.
Moreover, from the looks in their eyes, Long Chen could easily discern their intentions.
"Dean Long Chen, Dean Guo Ran, congratulations, congratulations! A great victory, finally bringing glory to our human race." Seeing Long Chen and Guo Ran arrive, Xue Yifan quickly stood up, chuckled, and cupped his fists in congratulations.
Seeing Xue Yifan's friendly and earnest-growing demeanor at this moment, Long Chen immediately understood that the old dean was returning to normal, acting like a hands-off manager. From here on, it was basically up to him and Guo Ran to perform.
"Dean, you're too polite. It's just a small victory, nothing to mention. Some shameless allies have taught me a lot. Can people nowadays really be this shameless?"
Long Chen smiled faintly, politely replied, and then pretended to notice the people around him:
"Oh, it's lively today. What's up?" So many people have come to our Tianlong Divine Armor Academy—is there something important to discuss? "
That's right, there is a major matter to discuss. I heard you boasted that the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy will take the lead in this war.
I really want to know, where did you get the courage to say such a big thing? An elderly man sitting next to Xue Yifan had a stern face, squinting at Long Chen as he spoke.
"Dean Long Chen, Dean Guo Ran, come over and take a seat first. If you have something to discuss, sit down." Xue Yifan smiled and said, having two chairs brought over.
"What right do they have to stand on equal footing with us? They're just two old-time, blond kids. Xue Yifan, are you getting senile? Among the elders, one kept his head closed and eyes closed, resting his mind. At this moment, he spoke in a sarcastic tone.
If it were before, Guo Ran would have been furious, but now he didn't feel much since the boss was there anyway.
"Which pit are you from, turtle? Why act like a big wolf? How is it? You're tired of living. Want to borrow my hand to see you off? Long Chen said disdainfully.
"Kid, you're courting death!" The old man opened his eyes, his fierce killing intent locked onto Long Chen.
"Dean Long Chen, let me introduce you. This is the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect, a powerful half-step Divine Venerable. You should get closer to him." The old dean said with a smile.
A half-step Divine Venerable is indeed on the same level as the old dean. Long Chen had previously guessed that the old dean was a Divine Venerable realm expert, but because his aura was somewhat weak, Long Chen didn't dare to make a judgment.
Long Chen had faced only two Divine Sovereign Realm experts, to be precise, Dongfang Zichu and Xia Guhong. Dongfang Zichu's aura—he remembered it was vast as the sea, awe-inspiring, an existence that could only be looked up to.
Xia Guhong's aura was restrained, making it hard to sense anything. Long Chen knew Xia Guhong was terrifying because his spiritual will was incredibly strong.
Among the powerful opponents Long Chen has encountered so far, Wutian is probably the strongest. His aura is as unfathomable as the universe. Long Chen doesn't know what realm he is—perhaps at mid-to-late Divine Venerable, or even higher.
Upon meeting Xue Yifan, Long Chen could sense the aura of a Divine Venerable realm expert on him, but the pressure was clearly insufficient. Not to mention comparing himself to Xia Guhong and Dongfang Zichu, even compared to Enpuda, the Blood Slaughter Hall Master, and Liao Bencang, the Nine Nether Hall Master, he was far behind.
However, Long Chen knew that the powerful figures in the Moluo Star Domain were weak in pursuit of realms, so he deduced that the old dean might be a Divine Venerable realm expert.
But now he understood: among the humans in the Moluo Star Domain, there were no Divine Sovereign Realm experts. If there were, these half-step Divine Sovereign experts wouldn't have the right to be so arrogant.
"So you're the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect. I've heard of you for a long time..." Long Chen laughed heartily and walked toward the old man.
"... Damn, a pancake. Seeing
Long Chen laugh heartily and say he'd admired him for a long time, others thought he was just here to apologize. But when Long Chen walked over, he kicked the old man in the chest, sending him flying far away like a rolling bottle gourd.
"Pfft!"
The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body cracked, nearly shattered by Long Chen's kick. The old man flew into a rage, roaring as he donned his battle armor.
"Pfft!"
A black dagger sliced through the void, and the old man's head flew up. Amidst the splattering blood, the head fell into Long Chen's hand.
Everyone was stunned, and the elders were also frightened, sat up from their seats, and put some distance between themselves and Long Chen.
The battle armor of the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect was a family heirloom armor and one of the most famous armors in the Moluo Star Domain. Even after putting on his armor, he was severed off with a single blow. Even these half-step Divine Sovereign experts were terrified.
The others were even more terrified, their faces turning ashen. They had previously received news that Long Chen had announced in Qingyu City that the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy would take charge of this war, meaning all sect forces would have to obey the academy's arrangements from now on.
It should be noted that although the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy is a giant in the Moluo Star Domain, in terms of combat strength, it only ranks fifth.
As soon as the news broke, other factions, encouraged by some people, all came to watch the spectacle.
The top four powers were even more determined to demand punishment, especially the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect, who was the most dissatisfied, because in terms of the number of warships, armor, and powerful fighters, Qianyuan Sect ranked first.
So when he heard the news, he was the most annoyed and went straight to everyone, demanding an explanation from the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy.
However, this guy was old and still fell into Xue Yifan's trap. Xue Yifan was the first to introduce Long Chen to the ancestor of Qianyuan Sect, and then Long Chen targeted him.
"Old turtle of Qianyuan Sect, tell me, are you tired of living? If so, today I'll kill you to use as a sacrifice to Heaven.
I heard that before ancient wars, people would prepare three livestock and six livestock to worship heaven in hopes of victory. I think you're quite impressive—you should be worth nine animals. Long Chen looked at the head of the Qianyuan Sect ancestor, his face sinister as he spoke.
