As soon as the old man finished speaking, Guo Ran raised his crossbow, but Long Chen reached out to stop him. Long Chen smiled slightly and said,
"No rush. This bloody battle is inevitable. If we're going to play, let's go big."
"Boss, you mean to lure more people into action?" Guo Ran immediately understood Long Chen's intention.
The Tianren Clan's targeting of Long Chen seemed to be more than just to kill him; they also seemed to want to use Long Chen to provoke public anger and ultimately drag the Tianhuang Dragon family down as well.
Judging by the tone, neither the Tianren Clan nor the Long family are easy opponents. If the battle breaks out, more factions might join in.
Long Chen said softly, "If we can punch once, we won't have a hundred punches. If our Dragonblood Legion wants to establish a foothold in Emperor Heaven, we must establish our authority. We need to show our fangs; otherwise, it will be difficult for us as Emperor Heavenly Generals in the future. So, ..."
"Understood. Once we start fighting, we will hold back and show no mercy." Guo Ran said.
Guo Ran understood Long Chen's meaning. Under the instigation of the Celestial Clan, the situation might spiral out of control, and countless people would lose their composure and join the battlefield.
But no matter what reason these people have, as long as they attack the Dragonblood Legion, they are their enemies. No matter what their reasons are, the Dragonblood Legion will never show mercy; otherwise, mercy toward the enemy is cruelty to themselves.
Long Chen spoke to the Dragon Blood warriors, as well as to the disciples of the academy, the Galaxy Sect, and the Beast Fusion clan.
If you want to survive in the Emperor's Heaven with dignity, when there is nothing to rely on, you can only fight desperately. There is only one life: being merciful to the enemy will cost you your life. That is not mercy, but foolishness.
"Elder Xihe, although Long Chen is one of our Long family, we ..." A disciple of the Long family couldn't help but come up behind Long Xihe and whispered.
Clearly, they had long been resentful about Long Chen killing Xiuyang and driving them out of Lingxiao Academy, and they were happy to watch Long Chen make a scene.
"Shut up! Who do you think you are, daring to negotiate with me, Long Xihe? Don't you know your own limits? Do you believe that with just one little finger from the Long family, I can crush your entire clan like a grasshopper?" What no one expected was that Long Xihe cursed the disciple loudly.
The disciple was completely confused by the scolding. What's going on? I'm also a member of the Long family. What does it mean to crush my entire clan?
The disciple was left baffled by the insults, but the Saint King who had previously suggested Long Chen's death changed drastically. It was clearly a curse directed at him, a direct threat, which shocked and angered him.
Although their clan wasn't exactly a prestigious clan, it was still a respected figure. To be honest, a force of this kind of mid-sized group loved to seek attention; otherwise, with so many factions, it wouldn't have been his turn to speak.
Hearing Long Xihe's threat, the Saint King was furious: "What's wrong?" Your Long family disciples are human, but my clan's disciples aren't human too? Long Chen killed our disciple, and we can't take revenge on him yet?
Your Tianhuang Dragon family has such arrogance, thinking they can rule the Emperor Heaven with one hand? Let me make it clear: no matter what, Long Chen must pay with his life for my disciples today. That
Saint King was also a stubborn donkey. He knew that angering the Tianhuang Dragon family would have serious consequences. If the Tianhuang Dragon family really wanted to deal with their clan, saying they could crush an ant might be an exaggeration, but it wouldn't really take much effort.
Moreover, once the Tianhuang Dragon family makes a move, their clan will likely immediately offer the head of this Saint King expert to appease the Dragon family's thunderous wrath.
But this guy was extremely concerned about saving face and spoke very firmly, which made Long Xihe furious. He hadn't expected to encounter a fearless fool, and now things got worse.
At this moment, he secretly glanced into the distance. In the far distance, a space was flowing, and inside was a faint group of people watching this place.
Inside the space, there were more than a dozen people. Leading them was a white-bearded elderly man with a white beard and white robe. He had an elegant demeanor and sharp eyes, as if his eyes could see through everything, giving off an impression of great wisdom.
Behind him stood a dozen Saint King experts. These Saint Kings had low auras that, if not for their strong senses, one might not even feel their Saint King pressure.
To be able to suppress the Saint King's aura to nearly nonexistence—this was truly a master among experts. Inside the space, they kept their eyes fixed on the distant doorway.
The elderly man in the white robe, with a refined face, shook his head and said, "Long Xihe, alas, he is truly unfit for such a great role." "
Lord Tiansi, Long Xihe is eager to protect Long Chen. Besides, that guy comes from a low-ranking force. Such a person provoking our Long family really deserves a lesson. Otherwise, where will our family's dignity be?" A Saint King behind the old man asked in confusion, believing that Long Xihe had handled things well and that there was no fault.
The refined man known as Lord Tiansi was the head of the Supreme Law Institute of the Tianhuang Long family, with power second only to the head of the Long family. However, because he controlled the laws, he even had the power to impeach the head of the family. Therefore, even the head of the Long family had to show him respect.
The refined elder shook his head and said, "Long Xihe only started defending Long Chen because he saw me. From Long Chen's expression, it's clear that Long Xihe messed up the mission the Long family entrusted to him."
But now, he's reluctantly stepping out to defend Long Chen, not out of sincerity—it's mostly just for show. It's all just for me.
If he could act well, it wouldn't be a problem. With his intelligence, he probably wouldn't make such a basic mistake, but he did.
To put it bluntly, he deliberately exposed a weakness for the Celestial Clan to catch and escalate the conflict. He never wanted to absorb Long Chen into my Long family. "
Lord Tiansi, I don't understand. The clan knows full well that the First Heavenly Saint is a mortal enemy of the Fourth Heavenly Saint. Why did you send Long Xihe to handle this?" A Saint King expert-level expert said.
"This is my test for Long Xihe. In terms of cunning and strategy, Long Xihe is the best choice. Unfortunately, he failed to understand my meaning, nor did he put family interests above personal feelings. What a pity, go back and draft the document to remove him from his post." Lord Tiansi sighed, his eyes filled with regret and regret.
Long Xihe in the distance had no idea that his clever move had cost him his official position. His words were immediately caught by Yue Wuxu, who sneered coldly:
"Did everyone see that?" This is the true face of the Tianhuang Dragon family—so powerful, huh? Alright then, today I'll see if your Long family can keep Long Chen.
If your Long family dares to make a move today, our Tianren Clan will fight you to the bitter end. Let's see if you have the guts." "
Rumble rumble..."
Yue Wuxu waved his large hand, causing space to tremble and a spatial gate appeared.
"This Gate of Space is connected to the headquarters of our Celestial Clan. Let me see if your Tianhuang Dragon family has the courage to risk everything against our Celestial Clan for a single disciple."
After Yue Wuxu finished speaking, he looked at the other powerful figures and shouted, "Our Tianren Clan is at odds with the Long family. Whether we can avenge our disciples depends on you." "
"Kill!"
Seeing the Celestial Clan unleash their full force, the powerful figures from those factions roared and drew their weapons one after another.
