Facing the Long family patriarch's questioning, Long Chen shook his head and said, "Please don't make baseless accusations. What do you mean by 'without reason'?" Tell me, what does 'without reason' mean? Long
Chen had played this kind of word game too many times, so much that he was almost tired of it. He didn't like these tricks, but there was nothing he could do—in life, they were indispensable.
Long Chen continued, "I just entered the Long family. On the way in, some of your disciples were lured by money and tried to ambush them..."
Before Long Chen could finish, an elder snorted coldly and said, "Those aren't Long family disciples, just people wearing Long family uniforms." Long
Chen didn't know the old man's identity, but since he said this, it was most likely that he was responsible for public security in the Tianhuang Domain.
"Does it make a difference?" On Long family territory, they committed crimes wearing the uniforms of Long family disciples. Without the backing of an insider, would they dare to act so brazenly?
What's wrong? He had received so many gifts in daily life, and now that something had happened, he wanted to shirk responsibility? I didn't expect that at your age, you're still a chef? His level of passing the buck is impressive! Long Chen looked at the old man with a face full of disdain and said.
At Long Chen's words, Long Qianxue bit her lip. She realized Long Chen's comedic skills were just too strong, especially when his words combined with his expression, making them so impactful that she almost couldn't help but laugh again.
"You..."
The old man was furious and was about to argue, but Long Chen waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about me and me. You're getting old. Didn't your parents teach you? Interrupting someone while they're talking is really rude, isn't it?" No manners at all. After
Long Chen's scolding, the old man was so angry his teeth itched but couldn't refute for a moment. He snapped, "
Fine, go on. Let's see if you can come up with something interesting."
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to respond, "I killed those thieves. Should I kill them?" Everyone
fell silent, no one spoke.
Long Chen continued, "I hunted and gathered herbs with the mercenaries, but your disciples from outside the Long family are fiercely fighting over them. If you want to kill or rob someone, shouldn't you kill them?" "
The crowd remained silent.
Long Chen said, "A Long family disciple cursing people in the square—should they be killed?" "
It's just venting your emotions, and you kill recklessly. Isn't that too much?" Even if they were at fault, it was not a crime punishable by death. At this moment, someone finally stepped forward and shouted angrily.
"Tch, I knew you were waiting for me here!"
Long Chen sneered and looked at the old man: "Venting your emotions?" Can't you kill him? If a mercenary calls you a bastard raised by a donkey or a turtle, would you kill him? The
old man sneered, "I won't."
"I swear with your soul that if you haven't killed anyone who insulted you, I, Long Chen, will cut off your head in front of everyone." Long Chen said calmly.
When Long Chen said this, the old man's expression changed. In the cultivation world, to establish authority, anyone who shows even the slightest disrespect to them is killed, let alone those who insult others. He has killed countless people in his life—how could he dare make such an oath?
"At such an advanced age, all your cultivation is just living on your skin?" And without blushing or gasping, he said 'No'—come on, swear? Long Chen said with a mocking expression.
The old man gritted his teeth but couldn't utter a single word. At that moment, someone retorted, "They are just a bunch of mercenaries, the lowest. As weaklings, this is what they should bear... That
person was standing not far in front of Long Chen. Without hesitation, With a wave of his hand, he slapped the man, knocking him down with a single blow from Long Chen. The corners of his mouth split into a grin as blood splattered.
"What are you doing?"
No one expected Long Chen to dare to make a move in the council. Everyone was furious, and the old man who had been beaten gripped his weapon.
"What are you doing?" Long Chen looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.
"You hit me, and you even asked me?" The old man was grinding his teeth to pieces, looking as if he wanted to devour Long Chen alive.
"Didn't you say that being weak means you should endure humiliation? I think I'm stronger than you. Shouldn't you just endure it honestly? Why are you holding a sword? Why do you look so angry? Long Chen asked in confusion.
"Long Chen, are you challenging the dignity of the entire Long family? If you say that, can we kill you at any time? At this moment, the Sacred Dragon Radiant Court of the Second Heaven, which had been silent until now, finally spoke.
Although he was small, his voice was like a mighty bell, his blood energy as powerful as the vast ocean, and waves of energy crashing toward Long Chen like a tsunami.
Facing the roar of the Sacred Dragon Yaoting the next day, Long Chen said calmly, "In this world, whoever has the loudest voice is the absolute authority. Otherwise, the donkey would have ruled the world long ago..."
"You..."
Long Yaoting was nearly driven mad by Long Chen.
Long Chen continued, "There are two points you need to understand. First, the strong bully the weak, and the weak have to endure it. This was proposed by your Long family, not by me."
Second, you can kill me at any time, provided you can endure my father's wrath. "
Are you threatening us?" Long Yaoting said angrily.
"If you think it's a threat, then forget it!" Long Chen looked at Long Yaoting and said calmly,
"When others trample on your dignity, you can kill without restraint. When you humiliate and curse others, they have to swallow their anger. What a fine tradition, but it doesn't work in front of me."
To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand you people. Although you today are high above, looking down on all beings, treating them like ants, livestock, enslaving them at will, giving and taking from life and death.
But aren't you afraid that when fortunes turn, a true strong figure will emerge among those oppressed by you, driven by endless hatred, coming to seek revenge? "
Hmph, that would require him to have the ability." A powerful member of the Long family sneered disdainfully.
"Do you know, people like you? I, Long Chen, have killed countless people from the mortal realm to the immortal realm. You are the one who stands above all, and the one who cries out for mercy before dying is also you." Long Chen said disdainfully.
"You... Are you trying to challenge me? The old man shouted angrily.
"Forget it, I'm already getting old. If I kill you, people will say I'm bullying the elderly. That's not honorable." Long Chen glanced up and down at the old man and shook his head.
The strong warriors present gritted their teeth in anger. This Long Chen was unyielding, arrogant, and domineering, completely disregarding all of them. If he weren't Long Zhantian's son, he would have been chopped to pieces long ago.
They originally planned to use their momentum to suppress Long Chen, then announce his guilt, making Long Chen feel guilty, so that the rest would be easier to discuss.
But Long Chen didn't follow their script at all; every link couldn't be connected. Now he was completely out of control, unable to kill him. Everyone was so miserable they felt like vomiting blood, but there was nothing they could do.
"Speak, what exactly do you want when you came to the Long family?" Finally, the head of the Long family couldn't help but speak. Seeing that the tactic was useless, he finally got to the point.
