Everyone was silent. Even the Kings were dumbfounded. What did he think he was doing? Was this brat crazy?
All he had done was insult him and he killed him? And right in front of his master? And he thought it would be okay with a sorry?
Ouyang Qiuyuâs soul almost fled out of fright. She felt like she was going crazy. What was Long Chen planning?
The Dragonblood warriors didnât bat an eye upon seeing one of the Pill Valleyâs experts be killed like a chicken. That kind of indifference to death made their blood boil. This was their boss. This was what it meant to be domineering.
Guo Ran was clenching his fists, filled with worship. This was truly being badass. Killing one wasnât satisfying enough, so directly killing another was best.
In truth, just speaking so frankly to a group of Kings and even cursing a King to their face was enough to raise Guo Ranâs posing realm. But he still couldnât be compared to Long Chen. Long Chen was the truly badass one.
Even Ling Yun-zi wiped his forehead, feeling a slight headache. This temperament of Long Chenâs hadnât changed. Instead, he had only grown more crazy.
Only Feng Xinglie nodded with delight. He almost clapped his hands and praised. In his opinion, this was how a man should act.
But Li Changfeng and Lu Minghanâs expressions changed. Long Chen clearly didnât know how to appreciate kindness. How could he do something so overboard?
What they had done before had already calmed things down. With just a bit more, this whole matter would have been resolved.
âWhat⌠did⌠you⌠say?!â The Pill Valleyâs King almost exploded. Flames erupted around him, and it felt like the whole world had ignited. He was truly furious; no, not furious. He was on the edge of exploding. Each of his words was spat out through clenched teeth.
âSorry,â said Long Chen very apologetically.
âJust sorry?!â he raged.
âAh⌠I suppose. Iâve said sorry, and this matter is already over. Isnât it just one dead person? Donât be so petty. Stay calm. With your age, is it worth making such a fuss over such a small matter?â said Long Chen.
âWhat nonsense! You killed two of my disciples! Iâll make you pay with your life!â
âPay with my life? Why?â asked Long Chen.
âYou killed someone, so you have to pay with your life! Are you an idiot?!â
âNo, just because you kill someone doesnât mean you have to pay with your life. Although youâve suffered wrongs and two of your disciples have died, you should be magnanimous. Only then can you accomplish bigger things,â advised Long Chen.
Everyone looked oddly at the Pill Valleyâs King. These were the same words he had said to Long Chen.
Now they understood why Long Chen had killed that person. It was to shut his mouth. He really was brazen.
âWhen I first joined the Xuantian Dao Sect, my sect leader told me a certain thing: when others donât understand anything and simply advise you to be magnanimous, you should maintain your distance from them, because when theyâre killed, theyâll splash you with blood. Back then, I was too young to understand. But now that I think about it, the principles behind it are truly profound. Sect leaderâs wisdom truly is as vast as an ocean.â Long Chen looked at Ling Yun-zi with heartfelt admiration.
âDid I ever say something like that?â Ling Yun-zi was stunned inside. But then he quickly understood Long Chen was using him, pulling him down with him.
âBrother, this principle of yours truly is profound. With just a glance, I can tell youâre erudite. Truly worthy of praise!â Feng Xinglie gave Ling Yun-zi a big thumbs-up.
Ling Yun-zi bitterly smiled. He had never said anything like that, but he also couldnât explain. He could only go along with Long Chen.
âLong Chen⌠you did this on purpose?!â The Pill Valleyâs King glared at Long Chen, filled with killing intent.
âNo, I wouldnât dare to admit to that. Let me just say it again, this matter is already in the past, and people should be magnanimous so that they can do bigger things. Only like this can people work together sincerely and raise each other to greaterer heights. As part of Pill Valley, Iâm sure you understand this principle. Could it be that you advised me to be magnanimous, but you arenât magnanimous yourself? If even you canât be magnanimous, how do you expect me to be? You should lead by example,â said Long Chen.
âYou⌠youâre just twisting words!â
This was peopleâs first time feeling a trace of sympathy for that old man. Looking at how his hair was standing on end, they didnât know if he would directly die of anger.
The Pill Valleyâs disciples had finally learned their lesson and backed further away. They also didnât dare to say anything.
âIâm twisting words? But then what about you? Just because a few of your disciples were killed, you want me to pay with my life? But when so many of my companions died because of Ji Changkongâs schemes, you wanted me to be magnanimous? Is your head full of sh*t?
âYou think just disbanding the Remote Heaven Gang is enough to quell my hatred? Youâre just going to let these murderers roam the world? Why should you be allowed to stop me from getting revenge? Because youâre a King? Because youâre stronger than me? Just because your position is higher than mine, you can rule over everything?
âFuck the hell off. Old bastard, let me tell you, Iâve seen far too many of you idiots who like to put on a sanctimonious appearance while clearly having filthy goals. Just looking at you disgusts me. From the moment I came here, I didnât hope for anyone to save me. I donât fear death, so why do you think Iâd fear an idiot like you?â
Toward the end, Long Chenâs voice grew louder to the point that it shook the sky. Thinking of Little Snowâs death caused his killing intent to surge beyond control.
âCalm down, Long Chen. We all know your grievances. Speak, what do you want?â said Li Changfeng helplessly.
Long Chen was not an ordinary disciple right now. Ling Yun-zi and Feng Xinglie supported him, and no matter what evil things he had done, they would protect him.
Furthermore, the two of them were extremely powerful. Although they hadnât said anything yet, the Pill Valleyâs King was about to attack, and the two of them would not just sit still and watch.
He didnât have a great understanding of Ling Yun-zi, but he had a profound understanding of how crazy the madmen from the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect were. They never talked reason.
While the situation could still be controlled, he hastily opened his mouth. He felt a headache. In all his years, he had never seen a disciple like Long Chen. There was no way to suppress him.
âMy requirements arenât high. Anyone here who raised their fists to kill me should be killed instead,â said Long Chen. A cold gasp escaped from everyone. He wanted to kill essentially everyone from the Righteous path.
âLong Chen, many of the people here are innocent. They were simply baited to come by the Remote Heaven Gang,â said Li Changfeng. He felt that Long Chen was going too far.
âInnocent? Haha, do you know how many people here clearly knew I was framed but still came out to suck up to the Remote Heaven Gang? Do you know how many people donât give a damn about my innocence, with their only goal being to get a favor from the Remote Heaven Gang? If the situation was reversed, once I was killed, would they think of the word innocent when they turned their butcherâs blades toward the rest of the Xuantian Dao Sectâs disciples?â sneered Long Chen.
ââŚâ Li Changfeng was stumped. As one of the higher-ups of the Xuantian Dao Sect, he couldnât be biased toward the Remote Heaven Gang. But if the Remote Heaven Gang was disbanded and then all these Righteous experts were killed, the Xuantian Dao Sectâs name would be tarnished.
âLet me tell you then: they wouldnât. They wouldnât hesitate despite knowing your disciples are innocent. They would cut off all our heads to show their loyalty to the Remote Heaven Gang, making them the dominant power here. In this world, there arenât any innocent people; there are only greedy and foolish people. Greedy people know the truth but act like they donât, while foolish people simply donât know the truth but will still raise their blades with everyone else. They donât need to know the truth; all they need is to win the favor from the Remote Heaven Gang. Those foolish people arenât worth pitying, as they have their own heads. If they can indiscriminately kill people without first determining the truth, can they get off unpunished? Can foolish people ignore other peopleâs lives? Can foolish people randomly harm others? So being foolish is the reasoning of these âinnocentsâ?â
Long Chenâs voice resounded through the air, causing countless expertsâ expressions to change. Yes, by coming here to the Remote Heaven Gang, they didnât care at all about whether or not Long Chen was innocent.
âSince they can slaughter my brothers, why canât I slaughter them?!â
Suddenly, Long Chenâs wings appeared and he shot into the sky. Two huge dragons flew out, releasing powerful roars.
With Lei Long and Huo Long bringing out their true bodies, endless lightning and flame energy raged in the air. Icy killing intent erupted out of Long Chen. He was like an Asura who had come to reap lives.
All the experts who had been invited by the Remote Heaven Gang were horrified. A sensation of death welled up within them.
