"Long Chen, can you show me that piece of jade?" The Hall Master said.
"Of course,"
Long Chen hurriedly handed the jade in his hand to the Hall Master, but the Hall Master took a step back, hurriedly waved his hand, and didn't take it:
"Just keep it in your hand, let me take a look."
Earlier, the Hall Master had killed him with a single blow, shattered by a trace of aura within the jade. He was shocked, vaguely sensing that this trace of energy might be the legendary imperial energy.
That aura was extremely weak, almost imperceptible, yet even this faint trace of energy could shatter his full-strength strike.
The Hall Master looked at the imperial jade and saw that the originally smooth and white jade was now marked with faint blood patterns. These blood patterns were caused by Long Chen's fresh blood seeping into it.
At this moment, the blood patterns inside the imperial jade slowly flowed without a trace of aura, making it no different from ordinary jade, with no visible clues.
After watching for a while, the Hall Master asked Long Chen to put away the Emperor Jade. Now that the powerful enemies had dispersed, he didn't need to do much else. He needed to find a place to stabilize his raging blood energy. After greeting Long Chen and Bai Letian, he returned to his own residence.
After the Hall Master left, Long Chen returned to the barrier and came to Bai Shishi's side. Seeing Bai Shishi lying in her mother's arms with her eyes tightly shut, Long Chen was startled.
Bai Shishi's mother said, "Don't worry. Although Shishi has suffered a heavy blow, her source power is strong and won't affect her foundation. Just let her get some good sleep." Hearing
Bai Shishi's mother say this, Long Chen immediately relaxed. At this moment, Bai Zhantang, Bai Xiaole, Bai Xiaole's mother, and Bai Letian were all nearby. Long Chen said to Bai Zhantang and the others, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect Shishi well!" "
Hmph,"
Bai Zhantang snorted coldly, his face dark as he left.
With Bai Zhantang's departure, Bai Shishi's mother was instantly embarrassed, and Yu Qingxuan felt even more distressed. Bai Shishi was seriously injured because she was saving her.
Bai Shishi's mother said, "Qingxuan, Long Chen, I'm really sorry. That guy Zhantang was so rude. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf."
In fact, you should not be angry with him, because he is angry not because of you, but because of himself.
He hated himself, as a father, for not protecting his daughter, and also for not listening to the Hall Master and for hastening to raise his realm.
If he could raise his realm to the half-step Human Emperor, he wouldn't have to watch Shishi get hurt right by now. So, he felt extremely upset inside, but he cared about his pride. "
That's right, Zhantang is just that kind of person. He's angry at his own incompetence, and in fact, it's our own incompetence."
Sigh, none of us expected Dan Valley to suddenly launch a fierce attack on the academy and gather so many strong warriors. It really is that after eating too much peace, they lose their sense of danger. Bai Xiaole's mother sighed.
A trace of shame appeared on Bai Letian's face: "The responsibility actually lies with me. I know everything about Long Chen in the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain, but I never expected the Brahma Pill Valley to launch such a frenzied counterattack." As
the director of the General Hospital, having lived countless years, others could make this mistake, but with his experience, he shouldn't have made such a mistake.
If he could be cautious, guard against Dan Valley's counterattack, and make timely arrangements, the Hall Master would have advanced half a step to Human Emperor ahead of schedule to avoid risks.
If the Hall Master had advanced to the half-step Human Emperor earlier, even the Eight Human Emperors wielding the Eight Domains Divine Map wouldn't have been able to trap him. With the Hall Master as the pillar, this battle would never have been so passive.
The Hall Master returned to his residence. Clearly, he was in a bad mood. Although the Hall Master usually didn't speak much, he was an extremely proud person.
In this battle, he was the most frustrated one—possessing all the strength but no chance to use it. Even a hundred people would find it extremely uncomfortable, let alone the proud Hall Master.
Hearing everyone say this, Long Chen immediately felt much better. He smiled bitterly and said, "If anyone is to blame, it should be me. The Hantian Domain was destroyed by me, the domain lord was killed by my own hands, yet I don't think about Dan Valley's revenge. I am utterly foolish." Long
Chen himself felt like a fool. After doing such a big thing, he didn't take any precautions.
Fortunately, the strong warriors from Dan Valley arrived a step too late, allowing the entire Dragonblood Legion to awaken the Destiny Phenomenon. Otherwise, after this battle, the Dragonblood Legion would have suffered massive casualties, and who knows how many of the other disciples would have survived.
Bai Shishi's mother smiled and said, "Alright, let's not blame ourselves anymore. There's a fate in the heavens. The academy survived. Although there were some casualties, overall the impact on the academy was minimal. Compared to the enemy's losses, our situation is nothing." Upon
hearing this, everyone looked toward the outside of the barrier. The academy's perimeter was now a wasteland, blood staining the earth red. This battle was truly world-shaking—eleven Human Emperors had died, and tens of thousands at the half-step Human Emperor level.
As for those Heavenly Saint experts, it's impossible to count them. In this battle, Lingxiao Academy won a great victory, while the Brahma Heaven Pill Valley was completely wiped out except for the fleeing Brahma Divine Map.
"What a pity. Boss, if you hadn't withdrawn, I could have killed them all—not a single one would have escaped." Bai Xiaole gritted his teeth and said.
At this moment, Bai Xiaole was covered in blood, his killing intent still undiminished. He was a completely different person from before. Clearly, Bai Shishi's injury had driven him nearly mad.
Although he often bickered with Bai Shishi and Bai Shishi often beat him, it didn't affect their sibling bond at all. Seeing his sister nearly killed, Bai Xiaole transformed into a demon for the first time in his life, fighting fiercely on the battlefield.
"Well done, your performance today was beyond my expectations. Today, you are the real man!" Long Chen patted Bai Xiaole on the shoulder and said.
Hearing Long Chen's praise, Bai Xiaole immediately became a bit shy. Long Chen smiled and said, "I think Shishi has seen your performance." "
Even if I see him, it won't stop me from beating him up!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Shishi suddenly spoke. Long Chen and the others looked at her, who still had her eyes tightly shut, still asleep. The words she had just spoken were just a murmur in her sleep.
Everyone was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. Even in her sleep, Bai Shishi had actually added a sentence—clearly, it was her instinctive response.
Bai Xiaole was speechless. For some reason, hearing Bai Shishi's words actually made him feel warm. As long as his sister was okay, he wasn't afraid even if he got hit.
"Dean, since all the experts in Brahma Pill Valley have been wiped out, can we just wipe out their lair?" Long Chen said.
Hearing Long Chen's words, everyone present felt their hearts race wildly.
