"I've heard of it. The legend says it is hidden beneath the Tianwu Ring Sea, but whether it's true or not, there's no way to verify." Long Chen nodded and said.
Long Chen had always been skeptical about the Ling Tian Bracelet. What kind of artifact could be that large? This is a bit too much.
Moreover, regarding the Ling Tian bracelet, it is only a legend, with various versions flying around, making it impossible to tell which one is truly trustworthy.
"The Ling Tian Bracelet truly exists, which is why humans can only intimidate the sea demon race, but dare not attack them.
Ling Tian Zhuang has always been beneath the Tianwu Ring Sea, and the secrets hidden within are known only to the Sea Demon clan.
And the strongest successor of the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan was slain by you, which completely enraged the Sea Demon clan's .... "The Ye family elder chimed in.
But just as he said this, Long Chen sneered, "You still have the nerve to talk about this?" If it weren't for your help, how could he have been killed by me? The
Ye family elder shouted loudly, "That was nothing but an accident. The culprit was Ye Ming." Long
Chen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense. When expressing things, try to be simple and clear, to the point. Don't always pin the blame on me." The
Ye family members were pretty foolish too. As they spoke, they started throwing dirt on Long Chen, making him seem like a criminal. Long Chen simply couldn't tolerate this bad habit.
The Ye family elder sat down angrily, but in the end, it was Elder Longqi who continued, "The Sea Demon clan is extremely mysterious, and for so many years, they've been keeping a low profile, hiding countless forces.
Nor do we know if they have mastered the power of the Ling Tian Bracelet, so we cannot let our guard down against the Sea Demon clan—they are one of our greatest concerns.
In the past, the Sea Demon Clan had some dealings with our Divine Clan, but ever since Master Tianyu slew a powerful member of the Sea Demon Clan last time, the Sea Demon Clan has been quiet. This is probably not a good sign. "
Since it's a disaster, why not just join forces to wipe out the sea demon clan?" Long Chen asked in confusion.
"Tch, that's easy to say. Do you know the strength of the Sea Demon clan? Did you know that the Sea Demon clan might possess powerhouses that rival the Lord level? "The Ye family elder finally found an opportunity and retorted.
"Idiot, if you don't test the waters, how will you know what's really good or false? Is it really that just by bragging here, you can figure out their true nature? Are you sure your brain isn't filled with crap? Long Chen sneered.
"You..." The Ye family elder was furious.
"Stop, stop,"
Elder Longqi hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's get to the point. For the Sea Demon Clan, we still hope to focus on appeasement. We, the Divine Clan, will handle this for us."
But Long Chen, you might have to sacrifice a little..."
"Sacrifice what?" You want me to apologize to the Sea Monster clan? This is absolutely impossible. Long Chen flatly refused. Those idiots of the Sea Demon clan—Long Chen wished he could kill them all. How could he possibly apologize to them?
"Of course, I'm not asking you to apologize to them in person. We just need to spread a hint and give the Sea Demon Clan a way out. You just need to endure for a while and not expose it." Elder Longqi said.
Long Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I am very disgusted by the Sea Demon clan. Anyway, I absolutely will not cooperate with them, because sooner or later, I will wipe them out." As
soon as Long Chen said this, the faces of the powerful figures present changed. Long Chen's arrogance was so bold—he actually wanted to wipe out the Sea Demon clan. Even the gods probably wouldn't dare make such a promise.
Elder Longqi smiled slightly and said, "That's a matter for the future. The Sea Demon clan are all beings of the Tianwu Continent. If the Tianwu Continent were destroyed, they wouldn't survive either."
They won't just watch the Tianwu Continent fall, but we must guard against a counterattack at the moment of victory.
By then, we would have been severely weakened, and facing the sea demon clan again would have unimaginable consequences. Elder
Longqi made it very clear: if you want to deal with the Sea Demon clan, no one will interfere. But you need to choose the right moment—at least now is not the right time to deal with them.
Long Chen shrugged and said, "I won't give in, but I never pay attention to the rumors in the martial world."
However, if the sea monsters don't know how to watch and my temper isn't great, I'll just do whatever I need to do. Long
Chen had no intention of making any promises. If your Divine Clan wants to win over the Sea Demon Clan, go ahead and win them over. I don't care what methods you use.
But if the Sea Demon Clan truly thought Long Chen was afraid of them and tried to show off in front of him, Long Chen definitely wouldn't indulge their mistakes and would definitely slap them to death. If the Divine Clan would be embarrassed, Long Chen wouldn't be to blame.
A bitter smile appeared on Elder Longqi's face. He was quite experienced; Long Chen's personality was truly unyielding, refusing to back down at all.
"Elder Long, if it were a normal time, when it came to our private matters, maybe I would give you some face and make some concessions.
But now you represent the Divine Clan, while I represent the Tianwu Alliance. We focus on the issue, not the people. Long Chen said. He also knew that Elder Long Qi might feel uncomfortable, but negotiations are always like this.
Elder Longqi nodded, showing understanding: "Next, let's talk about Dan Valley. Dan Valley is a divine legacy. On the surface, it's just alchemy and selling pills, but in reality, they also possess terrifying power."
Especially Dan Immortal Yu Qingxuan, who has become a goddess and has received a complete baptism from divine grace. Her combat power is unfathomable, and once the Light of Faith is activated, her strength will reach unimaginable levels.
Therefore, if one wants to fight against otherworldly powerhouses, Dan Valley's power cannot be underestimated either, which is why it .... "
As long as they don't provoke me, I won't provoke them." Long Chen said. For some reason, just thinking of Yu Qingxuan's beautiful yet cold face made him feel a wave of sadness.
The original Yu Qingxuan was gentle and kind, always kind to everyone, and unwilling to hurt anyone. During her time in Dan Valley, Long Chen saw through her inner beauty.
Especially when she gave him her jade pendant to save Long Chen, taking the blame for him—a kindness Long Chen would remember for a lifetime.
But now, Yu Qingxuan was no longer the same as before. She had become cold-blooded and ruthless, her mind filled only with divine decrees, without her own soul. She was now like a puppet, and Long Chen was powerless to save her; he could only watch helplessly as she fell.
Yu Qingxuan had dealt with him several times, and he had hated him too, but after it all passed, he couldn't bring himself to hate anymore.
If Long Chen truly hated them, it was only against the two gods, Great Brahma Heaven and Luo Tianye. They exploited the faith of their followers to turn Yu Qingxuan into an emotionless puppet.
Long Chen felt powerless against Yu Qingxuan. If the Divine Clan could make Dan Valley stop hostility toward him, then Long Chen naturally wouldn't bother them.
"That's good. As for the evil path... Ye Ming has probably already been brainwashed by the powerful beings of another world, becoming a puppet of the other world. The evil path can basically be removed from the list of Tianwu Continents. Elder Longqi said.
However, Elder Longqi used the word 'basic' and still left some room. Whether to deal with the evil path would still require consulting with the higher-ups.
Because the evil sect had had no contact with the Divine Clan recently, even concealing Long Chen's entry into Wangsi City, the meaning was already very clear. The evil sect's intentions were likely to assist the city's strong forces in attacking Tianwu Continent.
"Your questions are finished, so now I have a question to ask, GodWhy would the clan be hostile to Yun Tian? After all, he was the son of Emperor Yun Shang.
Emperor Yun Shang is the leader of the Five Emperors and has achieved unparalleled merit on the Tianwu Continent. Why do you want to deal with him? Long Chen glanced over Feng Fei and the others.
"That ..." Elder Longqi was at a loss for words.
"It's very simple. The fate of an era only allows the birth of one great emperor. The imperial path of competition is survival of the fittest. Your question is laughable." Ye Liangchen sneered.
Long Chen nodded and smiled faintly, "I'm very satisfied with this answer. But Yun Tian is my big brother. If anyone comes after him, I'll step in."
If someone kills him, I will fight to the death. As you said, the imperial path is contested, survival of the fittest, and whoever kills whom has a valid reason. "
Why did the Divine Clan kill Yun Tian? They didn't answer directly. Long Chen believed this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Ye Liangchen's words also angered Long Chen. Since you say survival of the fittest, fine, once I behead you, it will be survival of the fittest.
The words of Long Chen and Ye Liangchen made the previously relaxed atmosphere instantly tense and tense.
Elder Longqi suddenly stood up and said, "Let's end today's council here. As for the details of guarding the major passes and how many people each from the Divine Clan and the Tianwu Continent will be sent, we will discuss them later." "
Since we've talked so far, Elder Longqi doesn't want to stir up any more complications. Long Chen's temper is too unstable—who knows if a trivial matter might ruin a major matter."
The elders of the Divine Clan dispersed one after another. Ye Liangchen gave Long Chen a cold glance and left together with Jiang Wuchen and the others.
Long Chen also had someone specially sent him out of the main hall. As soon as he stepped out, Elder Long had already been waiting for a long time and left with Long Chen.
"How did the talk go?" Elder Long said with a smile.
"It's okay. Thank you for the earlier reminder. I was very rational in this negotiation." Long Chen said with a smile.
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, the elders who had escorted him out showed a look of disdain on their faces.
How can you be rational? Fighting in the council hall, slapping the council elder—if it weren't for the lord, that elder would have been killed. If this is rational, what good is being nonsense? Tear down the main hall?
Elder Long chuckled and said, "I learned this from Huayun Sect as well. Their cultivation of never losing anger is truly brilliant." Speaking
of Huayun Sect, Long Chen suddenly remembered that Huayun Sect had been very low-key lately, with no activity at all, which was somewhat strange.
"Long Chen, let's go meet the family head together. Maybe from him, you can get some useful information." Elder Long transmitted his voice.
Long Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. A trace of nervousness welled up in his heart; he was getting closer and closer to the truth about his origins.
Elder Long led Long Chen and the group sped toward the Long family territory. Atop a tall tower, Lord Tianxing, with a face as gentle as a woman's, was watching Long Chen's departing figure.
"Hatred, murderous intent, coming from the depths of the soul—how strange." Lord Tianxing's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers lightly tapping the table, lost in thought.
