Chapter 5748: The Purple Blood Treasury
"What do you think you are? I'm not your father. Do you expect me to keep indulging you?" Long Chen slapped Luo Shenghui, sending him flying with a cold smirk on his face.
The strong individuals who had followed Luo Shenghui were shocked. They hadn't expected Long Chen to actually attack someone on the Luo family's plaza; it was a grave offense.
*Clang clang clang...*
Infuriated, these people drew their swords, their blood boiling as they pointed their weapons at Long Chen.
"Courting death."
With weapons pointed at him, Long Chen's gaze turned ice-cold. In the face of a general provocation, Long Chen might have held back, but the moment opponents brandished weapons, they were no longer his kin; they were enemies. For enemies, if they dared to make a move, Long Chen dared to kill them all.
"Bastard!"
Just then, debris flew as the artificial mountain shattered. Luo Shenghui's furious roar shook the air. Behind him, thirteen purple dragon veins fluttered, his blood energy surging. Taking a step forward, his longsword carried fierce gusts of wind as he swung it fiercely toward Long Chen.
"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish."
With a cold snort, Long Chen's right hand opened, revealing flame runes on his thumb and index finger. However, just as he was about to summon the Yin-Yang Sunfire, a robust sword energy descended from the sky.
*Boom!*
A loud explosion resounded as Luo Shenghui was sent flying, blood spewing out as he tumbled.
"Luo Shenghui, if you're seeking death, I'll fulfill your wish."
Luo Yanfeng's furious voice rang out. Shortly after, the figures of Luo Yanfeng, Luo Ying, and others emerged. The individuals were covered in blood, exuding an aura of killing intent. Their eyes were sharp and fierce. Compared to before, their entire presence had undergone a complete transformation.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen suddenly understood. So, Luo Yanfeng and the others had left for a real battlefield. These hothouse flowers had finally begun to experience the baptism of the wind and frost.
The individuals who had gone through this baptism were noticeably less delicate and had gained more courage. Their temperament had changed significantly.
Luo Yanfeng and the others had just emerged from a major battle and returned to the Luo family for rest and recovery. However, as soon as they arrived at the plaza, they witnessed a group of people pointing weapons at Long Chen. Furthermore, Luo Shenghui was attempting to kill Long Chen with a sword. Luo Yanfeng was instantly infuriated and directly used force.
*Splurt!*
Luo Yanfeng's sword caused Luo Shenghui to spit out blood. Due to the substantial difference in strength between the two, combined with Luo Yanfeng's newfound ruthlessness after experiencing bloodshed, his strike was fierce.
"What's going on?"
The commotion attracted the attention of the Luo family's elders. When they saw everyone on the verge of drawing their swords, they were both shocked and angry.
"Ask him. So many of them have surrounded Long Chen, and this guy even tried to kill Long Chen. If this were on the battlefield, I'd definitely kill him today," Luo Yanfeng raged.
"You've gone too far. It was clearly Long Chen who provoked them and struck first..."
Luo Shenghui's face twisted in anger as he shouted.
"Long Chen provoked them? How did he provoke them? Did one person provoke a group like you? What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of thing are you? Do you think we're all fools?!" Luo Yanfeng shouted angrily.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing both sides getting into an argument, the elder of the Luo family felt a headache coming on. Even within the Luo family, there was no peace. None of these youngsters were easy to handle.
The elder said, "Luo Shenghui, you're the second batch of disciples heading to the battlefield. Go there quickly to gain experience. If you have any conflicts, deal with them after you return."
Luo Shenghui was shaking with anger. He pointed his sword at Long Chen and said, "You just wait. The day we meet on the battlefield, I, Luo Shenghui, will definitely take your head."
He didn't dare to talk tough to Luo Yanfeng, so he directly threatened Long Chen. Long Chen looked at Luo Shenghui, a touch of mockery in his expression. He couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him. Meet on the battlefield? As if that's a favorable outcome.
Luo Shenghui waved his hand dismissively and led the group of strong Luo family members away.
"Long Chen, are you okay?"
Luo Ying came to Long Chen's side, looking concerned.
"I'm fine, thanks for arriving in time!" Long Chen smiled wryly.
Indeed, thanks to their timely arrival, otherwise, you might not have seen them again.
"That's good. Next time, come to the battlefield with us. Although it's dangerous there, some of our own people are more perilous than the enemies," Luo Yanfeng said through gritted teeth.
Hearing Luo Yanfeng's words, the elder of the Luo family couldn't help but sigh. He looked at everyone and said, "Yanfeng, as long as you returned safely, that's good. Did you gain anything on the battlefield?"
"We'd rather face the fierce demon race on the battlefield than deal with idiots like Luo Shenghui. The demon race makes us stronger, while idiots like Luo Shenghui only make us more decadent. If we encounter him on the battlefield again, I'll definitely kill him. Be mentally prepared for that," Luo Yanfeng stated firmly.
Luo Yanfeng's tone was resolute. This time, Luo Shenghui had tried to kill Long Chen. Luo Yanfeng wouldn't give him another chance.
Luo Yanfeng's words were clear. From now on, it was either him or me within the Luo family. The higher-ups could handle the situation as they saw fit.
The elder saw Luo Yanfeng's determined expression and knew there was nothing he could do. Although Luo Shenghui had gone too far, he was still one of the top talents of the Luo family. Without him, the family's strength would be weakened.
Now the Luo family was in a precarious situation, facing both internal and external troubles. Internal conflicts were the greatest taboo, yet they couldn't come up with an effective solution.
"You've just experienced a major battle, so take some time to rest!" the elder sighed.
"No rush to rest. Let's go exchange our rewards. Long Chen, come with us," Luo Yanfeng said, hooking his arm around Long Chen's shoulder. When it came to rewards, his excitement was evident.
"Rewards?" Long Chen was taken aback.
Luo Yanfeng continued, "Come on, you'll know once you're there. Even though you didn't participate, we'll get you something."
Without saying another word, Luo Yanfeng led Long Chen through the square. Since Long Chen had nothing else to do and didn't want to dampen their spirits, he followed them to the treasure vault of the Purple Blood lineage.
When they arrived at the treasure vault, Long Chen was stunned as he saw the extensive array of categorized treasures. The inventory of the Purple Blood lineage was shockingly vast. Especially in the weapons category, there were even Emperor-class weapons. Long Chen's eyes nearly popped out.
When he saw the medicinal treasures, countless legendary divine and sacred medicines that existed only in stories caught Long Chen's attention. At that moment, Long Chen completely lost his composure.
"There are way too many good things here."
Long Chen just glanced around with the corner of his eye, and his heart started racing. If it weren't the Purple Blood lineage's treasure vault, he would have had the urge to rob it.
When Luo Yanfeng and the others arrived, the caretaker understood their intentions and directly led them to the exchange area.
On Luo Yanfeng and the others' identification plaques were "Kill Points," earned from slaying demon race enemies. Luo Yanfeng had the most, with over thirty thousand points, while the others ranged from two to three thousand to six to seven thousand points.
"Long Chen, see if there's anything you need here. Pick something that can save your life on the battlefield." The others started to exchange for the items they desired, and Luo Yanfeng handed his identification plaque directly to Long Chen.
