Previously, the Moon Gazing Clan chief spoke with obvious pride, as if he looked down on the scheming and deceit of the human race.
At that moment, Long Chen was quite displeased, but then he thought about it. Compared to other races, the human race was the most complicated, so there was nothing to argue about.
Now, these people clearly framed Xu Changchuan, yet still stood on the moral high ground to criticize him. Long Chen was amused. What, he was covered in hair and said others looked like monkeys?
"Boss, they're not confusing right from wrong. They're twisting the truth. It's fine to use shady means themselves, but asking for help is treason. Even humans would have to admit defeat in this regard!" Guo Ran chuckled and seized the opportunity to speak.
As soon as Guo Ran spoke, the faces of the Moonwatcher clan experts changed—the slap in the face was far too loud.
Even the patriarch of the Moonwatching Clan had a frightening expression. He had previously secretly instructed everyone not to discuss this matter in front of outsiders, and to discuss it only after dealing with Long Chen and the others.
But as soon as Long Chen spoke, it was as if they had caught something against him, ready to ruin Xu Changchuan, even forgetting his warning.
"The internal affairs of the Moonwatching Moon Clan are none of your business, a mere fool." A Tianzun of the Moon Clan shouted angrily.
Long Chen curled his lips and said, "Who wants to meddle in your family's messy affairs? I'm just addressing the issue and answering the clan leader's questions."
However, seeing the subtle signs reveals the situation. It seems the Wangyue clan is nothing special. To be so shameless as twisting right and wrong, it seems that going back on their word is no longer an issue.
Alright, I won't get involved in your family's messy affairs anymore. Brother Changchuan, no matter what, we're still fellow disciples. If I step in to save you, it's nothing, and you don't need to worry about it. We'll meet again." After
Long Chen finished speaking, he stood up, ready to leave.
"Brother Long, you can't leave. How could I, Xu Changchuan, be a traitor?" Xu Changchuan couldn't help but stand up and shout angrily.
Xu Changchuan suddenly stepped forward, knelt before the Moon Gazing Clan chief, and shouted, "
Clan Chief, if you truly believe Changchuan has damaged our family's reputation, I have nothing to say.
I, Xu Changchuan, have no special talents, but I know that a true man's word is weighty and his promise is worth a thousand gold pieces. If you promise someone something, you will always keep it. If you can't keep it, I'll give my life to you, Brother Long. "
You... Are you threatening the clan leader? This is simply outrageous. "A Heavenly Venerable roared, but on the surface he was furious, it was hard to hide the schadenfreude in his eyes.
Long Chen hadn't expected that Xu Changchuan, who looked gentle and weak, would actually have such backbone, daring to confront the clan leader head-on. He hadn't expected that this guy was a real man.
With Xu Changchuan's words, Long Chen's adventure was worth it. Whether he gained any benefit or not didn't matter anymore.
"Aren't you afraid I'll execute you?" The clan leader shouted angrily.
"You taught me that a person without trust cannot stand. Whatever our Moonwatching Clan has said, it always counts.
This time, I am returning to the clan at all costs, not because I, Xu Changchuan, covet the position of clan leader, but because I cannot let the position fall into the hands of traitors.
If I cannot compete for the position of clan leader and they inherit your position, with their cunning and ruthless methods, they will only destroy the Wangyue clan. Then I, Xu Changchuan, will become the eternal villain of the Wangyue clan.
If those competing with me have talent and character that surpass mine, I, Xu Changchuan, would never bother to compete for that position. I'd rather wander the world, make the world my home, and live a life free and unrestrained.
You said that the interests of the family are above all else. For the sake of the family, am I still afraid of dying?
You can kill me, but I can tell you clearly, none of my competitors are fit to be clan leader. Xu Changchuan shouted loudly.
Seeing Xu Changchuan's excited tone, as if he was ready to give up, the few Heavenly Venerable experts gradually smiled.
They knew that the chieftain hated young people's arrogance and complacency the most. Xu Changchuan's words were too grand, as if without Xu Changchuan, the Wangyue clan would be doomed. This would only anger the Wangyue clan leader.
"Disrespecting your elders? Then go die!"
The Moon Gazing Clan chief's face darkened as he slammed his palm down on Xu Changchuan's forehead. Everyone was startled—this was far too sudden.
"Clang!"
The Minghong Blade was drawn, radiating divine light as it swiftly stabbed down toward the forehead of the Moon Gazing Clan leader—it was Long Chen who had made his move.
"Courting death!"
Long Chen actually attacked the leader of the Moonwatching Clan. All the strong members of the Moonwatching Clan were furious and pressed down on their weapons.
"Boom!"
Uncle Huai revealed his true form. The Dragonblood warriors summoned their Dragon Blood Battle Bodies, their swords drawn, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen slashed the enemy, saving the enemy. Only then could he save Xu Changchuan. Long Chen wasn't close to Xu Changchuan, but he respected him as a real man and couldn't let him get killed because of him. Long Chen had to intervene.
However, as Long Chen stabbed his blade toward the forehead of the Moonwatching Clan chief, his large hand changed direction, extending two fingers and gently pinching it.
Long Chen immediately felt his blood and energy surge. The terrifying power nearly made him spit out a mouthful of blood. Long Chen was terrified—the strength of this Moonwatching Clan chief was simply unfathomable.
In his shock and anger, Long Chen was about to summon the Dragon Blood Battle Body. At that moment, a look of astonishment appeared on the Moon Gazing Clan chief's face. He released his fingers, and the overwhelming force vanished in an instant.
"Stop!"
The Moonwatching Clan chief shouted sharply, and the powerful warriors who were about to make a move all stopped their movements.
The Moonwatching Clan chief's face had been gloomy, but now a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Xu Changchuan, then at Long Chen, and nodded, saying, "
That's right."
Long Chen was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood. Without saying anything, he sheathed the Minghong Blade and returned to his place.
Previously, he had instinctively acted to save Xu Changchuan, but now that he recalled, the Moon Gazing Clan chief wasn't trying to kill Xu Changchuan, but was testing Long Chen.
Xu Changchuan's reaction was much slower. He had been waiting for death with his eyes closed, but now he was completely stunned.
"From today onward, you are the true friends of the Moonwatching Clan." The Patriarch of the Moonwatching Clan looked at Long Chen and the others and said.
The previously gloating experts now looked different. Many of them still didn't understand what the clan leader was planning.
"Good child, it seems my teaching wasn't in vain. You should step aside for now!" The Wangyue Clan chief patted Xu Changchuan on the shoulder and said.
Xu Changchuan was stunned. Being patted on the shoulder by the clan leader—what an honor this was! This was probably the greatest reward of his life.
Xu Changchuan retreated to the side, confused. The Moon Viewing Clan chief, who had been wearing a gratified smile, suddenly changed his expression—the smile vanished completely, replaced by a grim and murderous aura.
"There are no outsiders here, so let's settle accounts properly. Please bring the ancestral spirit totem!"
When the words "Ancestral Spirit Totem" were heard, the previously frenzied experts all showed fear on their faces, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
