Nine Star Hegemon Body Art chapter 5722

 Chapter 5722: Shameless Audacity

The elder from the Long family led a group of high-ranking members of the Long family, followed by Long Zaiye, Long Tianrui, and other disciples of the Long family. Apart from the Long family, the experts from the Jiang, Zhao, and Ye families were also present, but they chose to observe from a distance, not approaching closer.

"Truly detestable, we arrived late!"

Among the disciples of the Jiang family, there was a slight sense of disorder. Feng Fei and Jiang Yue'er led tens of thousands of Jiang family disciples, rushing over. Upon seeing the situation around them, Jiang Yue'er clenched her fists, her face filled with unwillingness.

Jiang Yue'er and Feng Fei had been transported out of the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm and found themselves in chaos. Separated from each other, they were surrounded by the chaotic battleground. Jiang Yue'er saw Jiang family disciples being swept into the torrent of chaos and urgently reached out to rescue them. At the same time, she tried to contact Feng Fei. They weren't very far apart, but to prevent any isolated Jiang family disciples from dying in the chaotic battle, they reunited and continued to search the chaotic battlefield for other Jiang family members.

Only after confirming that there were no Jiang family disciples nearby did they begin following the signals to rendezvous with the senior members of the Jiang family.

"It seems we missed out on an exciting battle," Feng Fei also felt somewhat helpless, hastily asking the members of the Jiang family what exactly had transpired.

"Long Zhantian, I didn't expect that only a few months apart, your strength has already reached such heights. Congratulations!" The Long family elder laughed heartily, expressing delight towards Long Zhantian.

Hearing the elder's words, Long Chen almost burst out laughing. These people had issued a pursuit order against his father not too long ago. Even he was implicated in that, and now, their tone sounded as if they were greeting an old friend. It was ironic how they were trying to curry favor and please now.

"Senior is too kind. This is all thanks to the Linglong Bloodfiend's blessings. To put it plainly, it's also thanks to the blessings of the Long family," Long Zhantian smiled faintly.

"Roar!"

Just at that moment, the Linglong Bloodfiend arrived before Long Zhantian and let out a low roar. When its eyes met the Long family experts, they were filled with icy killing intent.

Long Zhantian gently patted the Linglong Bloodfiend's large claw. He knew that the Linglong Bloodfiend held deep hatred for the members of the Long family, given that the Long family had imprisoned it for countless years.

Throughout these endless ages, the Long family had used formations to extract its blood essence and impede its growth. This enmity was deeply ingrained in its soul.

The Linglong Bloodfiend harbored a bone-deep grudge against the Long family. Yet, it had ultimately been tamed by Long Zhantian. After all, Long Zhantian had experienced a similar fate. He, too, had been imprisoned and had his essence extracted.

The experiences of one human and one demon were unexpectedly so alike. When Long Zhantian infiltrated the demonic prison, without much ado, he directly formed a soul contract with it, becoming its closest partner.

Not only did Long Zhantian release the Linglong Bloodfiend from its prison, but he also emptied the "blood repository," the place where the blood essence of the Linglong Bloodfiend was stored.

The blood essence of the Linglong Bloodfiend contained horrifying chaotic power, as well as a terrifying demonic aura. The Long family desired the chaotic power, but it was difficult to remove the demonic aura.

If they forcefully purged the demonic aura, it would require a significant amount of resources to cleanse it, consuming endless resources.

The Long family was unwilling to expend such vast resources and had been searching for simpler, more convenient methods. As a result, the blood essence was stored away, waiting for a suitable method to be discovered before being used.

As a result, when Long Zhantian arrived and took away the accumulated demon blood of countless years, it was the reason why the Long family was so enraged, leading to them issuing a pursuit order against him. Long Zhantian escaped the Long family with the weakened Linglong Bloodfiend, and from then on, they disappeared without a trace. Now, seeing Long Zhantian and the Linglong Bloodfiend again, they had become entities that could only be looked up to. This deeply unsettled the Long family's experts.

When the Linglong Bloodfiend's gaze fell upon them, they felt as if their souls were being torn apart. Just a single look seemed capable of shattering their spirits. They finally experienced the terrifying nature of this chaotic anomaly.

Long Zhantian patted the Linglong Bloodfiend and comforted it before saying, "I heard that the Long family has issued a death order against me? And even my son, Long Chen, is implicated. I wonder if it's true or false?"

"There must be some misunderstanding here. Why wouldn't I know about this?" The elder was momentarily stunned, then turned to the people behind him and sternly inquired, "Is there any truth to this?"

"This..."

The experts behind the elder suddenly wore strange expressions, hesitating and struggling to find the right words.

Frowning, the elder looked back at Long Zhantian and said, "Perhaps there's a misunderstanding. Your ability to subdue the Linglong Bloodfiend is a tremendous boon for the Long family. Whoever issued such a foolish order, when I return, I'll certainly report this to the clan leader."

Seeing the elder's serious expression, Long Chen simply turned his face away to avoid bursting into laughter. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.

This playacting is really awkward, isn't it? Do they really think I'll believe that they don't know about such a significant matter within the Long family? Now that they see my father's strength has grown, they're switching their roles and pretending to be virtuous. Do they think others are fools?

Long Chen's heart was filled with disdain. The Long family could be shameless to such an extent. The thickness of this guy's face was truly eye-opening.

"Ah, so it was just a misunderstanding? That's good then!" Long Zhantian smiled faintly, not exposing the elder's true intentions.

The elder said, "Both you and your father are children of the Long family, carrying the bloodline of the Jiuli. Eventually, you will return to the God Race. Now that the Emperor's Heaven is undergoing changes and the power of chaos is reviving, the hidden races of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will emerge. A new era is dawning, a time of struggle among all races. The God Race needs your strength."

It was here. This guy actually still wanted to draw Long Zhantian and his son into the Long family's camp. Long Chen almost burst out into curses. After all the disgraceful things their Long family had done, did he really think father and son would go back?

"We'll discuss this matter later."

Facing the elder's invitation, Long Zhantian responded neutrally. No one knew what he was thinking.

"That works too. You two can reunite as father and son. We won't disturb your reunion. As the new era approaches, the ancestral land of the Long family will connect with the new world. By then, the Long family will move to a new location. But it doesn't matter. After all, the Long family is a branch of the God Race. When the time comes, you just need to inquire casually, and you'll know where we are. The doors of the Long family will always be open to you." The elder smiled faintly and, with the Long family experts, departed.

Among the disciples of the Long family, Long Tianrui smiled at Long Chen and waved before leaving. Long Zaiye, on the other hand, bore a face filled with resentment and unwillingness. Obviously, this time, he had suffered a complete defeat.

The disciples of the Long family departed, and other powerful members of the God Race followed suit. As Feng Fei and Jiang Yue'e left, Long Chen waved to them in farewell.

Soon, only a group of people remained on the battlefield besides Long Chen. These individuals carried the banner of the Quadrant Alliance, and they were the strong members of the alliance. They were waiting for the return of Su Yu and the others.

"Long Chen, it's truly wonderful to be born in the same era as you. Although we can never be as powerful as you, we will never stop moving forward. We will use our passion to leave our mark on this era." Su Yu approached Long Chen, admiration and courage gleaming in her eyes as she expressed her heartfelt sentiments.

As Su Yu and the others left, the Dragonblood Warriors waved goodbye to them. Even though their strength might not be as formidable, they were a group of respected heroes.

"Release Zifeng; we'll help him heal."

With everyone gone, Long Chen spoke to Moxuan.
