Chapter 5746: Repeat It Again
"Long Chen, quickly put down your weapon..."
At this moment, the Luo family elder who had been stationed at the entrance of the Purple Immortal Pavilion was also taken aback. He was afraid that Long Chen, in his youthful impulsiveness, might kill the elder, which would cause trouble.
His scalp went numb at this moment. Luo Zichuan had asked him to look after Long Chen, thinking it was just some minor scuffle between disciples. Who would have thought that Long Chen would end up holding an elder's life in his hands? Although this elder wasn't a combat-focused powerhouse, his strength was still not to be underestimated. Yet, Long Chen had managed to subdue him.
"You brat from the Luo family, you're defying your superiors..." Seeing more people arriving, the individual seemed to have gained more courage, yelling in anger.
"Smack."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Long Chen's hand shot up, delivering a resounding slap. With that slap, his face split open, blood flowing freely.
Long Chen held the man in check, leaving him unable to move or even activate his protective divine light. At this point, his physical body was only slightly stronger than a regular Heavenly Saint-level expert; he couldn't match up to the top tier.
"Go ahead, old lamp, repeat the insults you said earlier. There are so many people here now, let's see if they can save you," Long Chen said with a grim expression.
"Long Chen, let go. Otherwise, more people will be alerted and come here," the strong Luo family member hastily said.
The reason they had appeared here was that someone had triggered the alarm inside the Purple Immortal Pavilion. That's why they had rushed here immediately.
If Long Chen didn't stop now, more high-level elders would arrive, making it difficult to resolve the situation.
No matter how wrong that elder might be, Long Chen didn't have the qualification to take action. If he did, it would be challenging those above him. Although this rule was frustrating, it had existed like this for a long time.
"Slap, slap, slap, slap..."
"You damn bastard, still not convinced? Need me to slap some sense into you?"
Long Chen grabbed the elder and delivered a series of forceful slaps. This action of Long Chen's enraged the surrounding elders. Long Chen was treating them with utter disregard.
"Kid, stop it, or don't blame me for showing no mercy." An elder finally couldn't hold back.
Long Chen slowly turned his head, looking at the elder with a cold smile. "Feel free to try."
"You..."
The elder was both shocked and furious. He had intended to intimidate Long Chen, but Long Chen wasn't buying into it at all.
"Dust, let him go!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was Luo Zichuan.
After returning to his residence, Luo Zichuan had barely settled down to cultivate when the badge at his waist began to rapidly flash. He instantly knew something was wrong. It was the signal from the Luo family's elders, telling him to hurry to the Purple Immortal Pavilion.
Just as he arrived at the pavilion, he saw Long Chen impaling an elder's chest with his sword, followed by a barrage of slaps.
Luo Zichuan hadn't interacted with Long Chen much. Although he knew Long Chen was arrogant and domineering in nature, he had previously been the dean of the Lingxiao Academy. Luo Zichuan thought Long Chen should possess some level of political acumen, be able to read the situation, and exercise restraint. However, he discovered he had underestimated this young grandson; Long Chen was anything but trouble-free.
Seeing his grandfather's arrival, Long Chen reluctantly released the verbose elder. But before letting him go, Long Chen gave his bloodied face a firm pat and said, "Remember next time, keep your mouth shut. If there's a next time, no one will be able to save you."
Long Chen pulled out his longsword with a whoosh, pushing the elder away. The elder's face was now a mess, his eyes filled with a rage so intense it looked as if he might spit fire. Nonetheless, despite his gnashed teeth, he didn't dare utter a single word of insult. He was scared, the almost tangible killing intent emanating from Long Chen had shaken his soul, nearly breaking his will.
"Long Chen, let go, otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy." One elder couldn't hold back any longer.
Long Chen turned his head and looked at the elder with a cold smile. "Feel free to try."
"You..."
The elder was both shocked and furious, thinking he could intimidate Long Chen. However, Long Chen didn't buy into it at all.
With Long Chen's current astonishing strength, once he advanced to the Emperor Realm, even Emperor-level experts might have to give him a wide berth.
"Elder Zhixin, let's go find the clan leader to settle this matter. If we don't deal with the Luo family now, they might get even more arrogant." A senior from the Bi family said to the elder who had been confronted by Long Chen.
Elder Zhixin's expression changed as he glanced at Long Chen and then at the Bi family elder. He coldly snorted, "Today's matters end here."
After speaking, he actually turned around and left. At that moment, the Bi family elder and everyone else were stunned. This guy had suffered such humiliation, yet he chose to let it slide?
Luo Zichuan looked at the departing elder's back with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had underestimated this individual before. This person had managed to foresee that if he reported the incident, it would inevitably drag both families into a whirlpool of conflict, ultimately serving the interests of the Bi family.
Furthermore, Long Chen had thoroughly frightened him. Instead of confronting Long Chen, it seemed better to let the Bi family handle it. He just needed to suppress his anger temporarily. If the Bi family won and Long Chen was defeated, his vendetta would be avenged. If the Luo family emerged victorious, he wouldn't have any enmity with them and his status would remain unchanged.
Luo Zichuan hadn't expected this person to make such a decision in the heat of the moment. This made him regard the person in a higher light.
"Long Chen, you've committed murder with intent..." The elder from the Bi family, unable to provoke Elder Zhixin, immediately turned his focus to Long Chen, pointing at the body on the ground.
"Which eye of yours saw me commit murder?" Long Chen retorted, "You're making baseless accusations. Don't make me give you another slap."
"So many pairs of eyes are watching. Do you think you can deny it?" The elder fumed.
However, when he looked at the disciples, their expressions seemed conflicted. It was evident that the disciples realized the deceased hadn't been killed by Long Chen, but rather by Elder Zhixin.
"Grandpa, I'm going back to continue my studies." Long Chen signaled to Luo Zichuan, then acted as if nothing had happened and resumed searching for the techniques and abilities he favored.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zichuan decided to put his cultivation on hold and instead remained on the outskirts, guarding Long Chen.
However, what they didn't know was that in a corner of the Purple Blood Clan, the old patriarch was observing everything that transpired within the Purple Immortal Pavilion.
"This young man carries a heavy aura of hostility. He might not be of any use to us and could potentially become a source of trouble. You should start making plans early," a cold voice resonated through the void.
In the midst of the Purple Blood Clan, the old patriarch had taken note of all that had happened within the Purple Immortal Pavilion.
