"Damn it, since they're looking for death, I'll let them have their way."
Long Chen's anger flared. What kind of thing is this? Doing good deeds and even making enemies—am I crazy, or is the world crazy?
Guo Ran and the others were also burning with anger. Are these people even livestock? Even if it's a herd of livestock, if someone helps it, they should know how to be grateful!
When the Heavenly Venerable fled, Uncle Huai apologized, "I'm sorry, I relied too much on the Nether Emperor's formation. I acted too slowly, letting him escape." "
Uncle Huai has relied on formations to capture strong opponents all these years, and his ability to act has declined a lot. Otherwise, if he were caught off guard, that person would surely die."
"It's fine, Uncle Huai. Whether he escapes or not doesn't matter. We can't kill everyone here." Long Chen comforted her.
"Let me go, or you ...!"
At this moment, Ye Wenxuan screamed in terror. In just a short time, his lower body was already rotten, and Guo Ran held him tightly, unable to struggle, but he kept threatening everyone.
"Pfft"
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words with him. With a single finger, he pierced through his brow, unleashing his soul power and violently searching his soul.
"An immortal clan, the Celestial God Clan?"
Through violent soul searching, Long Chen learned that Ye Wenxuan actually came from an immortal family, known as the Celestial God Clan.
The so-called immortal clans are those guarded by immortal-level experts. Immortality is a realm above Heavenly Venerable, and it is said that reaching that realm means being immortal and indestructible, existing with eternity.
In the mortal realm, immortals refer to such powerful beings, beings that countless cultivators never have the chance to encounter in their lifetime.
When Long Chen first heard about the Immortal realm, he immediately thought of someone—the old sweeper from Lingxiao Academy.
Xiao He'er once said that their Seven-Colored Immortal Crane clan has an extremely long lifespan. She has sent away several generations of deans, but the old sweeper has sent away several generations of Seven-Colored Immortal Cranes. Only immortal-level experts can possess such terrifying lifespans.
An immortal clan refers to a family that has an immortal-level powerhouse stationed there, or has once had an immortal-level powerhouse and possesses an immortal legacy.
As for the Heavenly Gods, they only appeared in ancient times. When these gods were born, strange phenomena appeared from the heavens, auspicious auspicious clouds appeared, and those claimed to be destined by Heaven were also called the Gods of Destiny.
After the ancient era, no more heavenly gods were born in the world, and the gods became legends. But Long Chen did not expect that Ye Wenxuan's family was actually an immortal clan, and also descendants of a celestial god. No wonder he was so arrogant.
Unfortunately, Ye Wenxuan's soul was protected by divine power, so Long Chen could only obtain a little information. He couldn't gather any details about his family's origins or background, which were not confidential.
Long Chen killed Ye Wenxuan. The faces of countless experts present changed. They stared at Long Chen in shock, unable to imagine that a group of outsiders would dare to kill Ye Wenxuan. If they did so, they would be committing a heinous crime.
Long Chen swept his gaze over the area. Those powerful figures dressed identically with Ye Wenxuan had golden threads painted the character 'Ye' in the Jiuli Immortal script on their chests, making them very easy to recognize.
When Long Chen's eyes swept over the group, their hair stood on end, as if a primordial beast had set their sights on them, a chill running down the back of their necks.
In fact, Long Chen wanted to search souls to find out the Ye family's origins, but thinking about how a prodigy like Ye Wenxuan could only gather so little information, he probably could get even less from others.
"You, come out and ask a few questions. If you don't want to die, answer whatever you ask. If you want to die, kill yourself immediately—don't waste time." Long Chen pointed at a powerful Earth Sovereign realm expert.
The Earth Sovereign realm expert shuddered, forcing himself to step forward, trying to appear calm as he said,
"You may ask, but when it comes to the Ye family's secrets, even if you kill me, I won't answer."
"I'll ask, you answer. Say one more word, say one less, and then die!"
Long Chen's face was icy as he said icily, "Where is this place?" The
old man shivered and hurriedly said, "Jiangning Prefecture."
"Is this your Ye family's territory?" Long Chen asked.
"No, we were invited to fight against the sea monster tide." The old man said.
"Please?" Is it about spending money? Long Chen sneered.
"Yes... Yes. The old man said awkwardly.
A mocking smile appeared on Long Chen's face. He didn't need to ask to know what was going on.
"Let me ask you, can Jiangningzhou ask someone else to help?" Long Chen asked.
"This... That ...—
"smack"
—just as the old man hesitated, Guo Ran slapped the man across the face, causing him to stagger.
"My boss is asking you a question, and you still dare to hesitate?" Hesitate any longer, and it's not a slap—it's a blow to your head. Guo Ran shouted sternly.
The man was both shocked and furious. A dignified Earth Venerable had been slapped, and it was a young Immortal King at that—this was an utter humiliation.
But seeing Uncle Huai standing beside Long Chen—a figure who could even scare off a Heavenly Venerable expert—he could only endure it in the end.
"Of course you can ask anyone for help. But Jiangning Prefecture has a good relationship with our Ye family, so naturally they turned to us for help immediately." The old man swallowed his pride and said.
"Your Ye family really has a clever plan: treat the Sea Monster Tide as a trial ground. Not only will it hone the disciples' combat power, but they'll also charge you money.
The key point is, while you collect money, others also owe you a huge favor. Long Chen saw a group of people in the distance looking at him with complicated expressions. How could he not understand what was going on?
On the battlefield, the Ye family had united disciples from other factions to clear out the sea monsters. The local powerhouses had no chance to take the field.
Sea demons are full of treasures. Sea monster tides are both disasters and opportunities. The Ye family doesn't allow local experts to act. They profit for themselves, but still have to collect money and Jiangning Prefecture owes them a favor.
Judging by Ye Wenxuan and that Heavenly Venerable's temperament, Long Chen could deduce the whole sequence of events to most or less, and then verify it from the angry expressions of those distant experts who dared not speak out. Everything became crystal clear.
"Immortal inheritance, what Celestial God Clan? Such a disgraceful attitude—you've completely disgraced your ancestors." Long Chen couldn't help but curse.
I've seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless. Such a huge force, competing with a bunch of low-level cultivators for food, and eating with such shameless behavior—truly unmatched.
The old man's face turned red from the insults, yet he didn't dare utter a sound. Although his eyes were filled with hatred, he dared not show it, fearing Long Chen might chop off his head in a fit of rage.
"I know your Ye family will come looking for me. Help me tell them that I don't care what kind of immortal family or Celestial God clan you are, don't mess with me. Otherwise, if Master Long Sanye gets angry, the consequences will be serious."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand, and everyone boarded the flying boat, roaring away under the gaze of countless people.
