Chapter 5757: How to Conclude
"What are you all doing?"
There were four people who arrived, one of them being the elder from the Bi family. They were originally stationed at the formation to respond in case of unexpected events. If the opponent didn't deploy the Purple Crowned Divine Emperor, they wouldn't take action.
But when Bi Wan'an made his move, the aura of the Purple Crowned Divine Emperor erupted, immediately attracting them to rush over.
At first, they thought it was the enemy's Purple Crowned Divine Emperor appearing suddenly, and they came to intervene. However, upon arriving, they saw Luoyan Feng and others wielding weapons, crazily attacking Bi Wan'an.
As for Long Chen, by this time, the power of the Purple Blood had long dissipated from him. He stood there as if nothing had happened, seemingly innocent.
"Luoyan Feng, stop quickly! What in the world is going on?" an elder from the Luo family exclaimed, shock evident on his face, and everyone else was equally baffled.
"This bastard..." Luoyan Feng pointed at Bi Wan'an, but halfway through speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
Several others also fell to the ground. Their bodies were already fatigued, nearing the brink of collapse. Suppressed by Bi Wan'an's aura and threatened by the looming possibility of death, they couldn't hold on any longer, and now that they were safe, they could no longer withstand the strain.
"Long Chen, what is happening?" The elder from the Luo family looked at Long Chen, pointing at the now lifeless Bi Wan'an, disbelief written all over his face.
In reality, Bi Wan'an had died when Long Chen pushed him in front of Luoyan Feng and the others. However, under their shock and anger, they couldn't discern the truth and engaged in an outburst of violence.
"Speak quickly!"
The elder from the Bi family, seeing Long Chen's composed demeanor, grew furious and before he could say anything, he angrily shouted.
"I gave you face, didn't I?"
Long Chen's anger flared, and he delivered a resounding slap. At such close range, no one could evade Long Chen's blow. The Bi family elder was sent sprawling to the ground.
Pointing at the elder's broken nose, Long Chen scolded loudly, "You damn bastard! How dare you ask us? Your Bi family's bunch of livestock actually sent an old immortal to try to kill us. Do you have the audacity to yell at me?"
The Bi family elder, slapped by Long Chen, was filled with rage. He was about to retaliate, but upon hearing Long Chen's words, his face turned pale with fear. He roared back, "You're spewing nonsense! How could our Bi family do such a thing?"
"Don't you fucking play tricks with me! Take the body back to your family head. Let me tell you, we're not done with this." Long Chen pointed at the Bi family elder's nose, spittle almost landing on his face, his expression sinister.
Long Chen despised these methods used by the Bi family the most – competing was one thing, but resorting to underhanded tactics when unable to win was another, and using such methods against their own blood relations was even worse.
Hearing Long Chen's words, the faces of the other elders changed drastically. If what Long Chen said was true, the Purple Blood lineage would be in turmoil.
The elder from the Luo family immediately crushed a jade talisman, and three other Luo family elders appeared. They protected the Luo family disciples and left together.
Seeing this, the Bi family elder also realized the severity of the situation. He collected Bi Wan'an's disfigured body, and as for the other elders, they remained silent and retreated alongside him.
"The brats from the Bi family are all no good from top to bottom. This time, I want to see how the Bi family will end up," Luoyan Feng woke up, his anger still not subsided, his expression filled with resentment.
Luoyan Feng and the other elite experts had exhausted themselves the most during this battle. They were now gathered to heal, under the care of Luo family elders.
"Exactly, the Bi family went too far. Engaging in infighting at a time like this, are they idiots?" Luoying also cursed along.
"Wait and see, the old patriarch won't let them off this time. He will definitely give us an explanation," Luo Jiang chimed in.
As everyone continued to vent their frustration, Long Chen, amidst the crowd, remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"Long Chen, what do you think?" Luoying looked at Long Chen. In the hearts of everyone, Long Chen was already a divine figure after this battle. Especially when Long Chen directly shattered Bi Wan'an's divine technique with his aura, thinking back, it was still so shocking. It was only now that they realized Long Chen was an immensely powerful existence.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Is there even a need to wonder? Didn't I analyze it for you on the battlefield? It's a personal grudge, an individual act. All the blame will be placed on Bi Wan'an. Before the Bi family made their move, they had already made preparations. Since they dared to do this, it means they've arranged everything for the aftermath. When the time comes, they'll shift all responsibility onto Bi Wan'an. Even if the old patriarch knows what's going on, what can he do? To convict, you need evidence, right?"
Everyone listened, shocked and angered. "What about our conversation? Isn't that evidence?"
Long Chen shook his head, "What evidence is a conversation? Furthermore, did he directly admit that he acted on behalf of the Bi family?"
"Well..." Everyone was stunned.
"Even if he admits it was on behalf of the family, what if the Bi family denies it, saying that Bi Wan'an had already fallen into demonic cultivation? They could claim that this was an intentional move to destroy the Bi family, and use this tactic to shift the blame. Now that Bi Wan'an is dead without witnesses, what can you do?" Long Chen continued.
The others were both shocked and angered again. Was it really going to end like this? But how could they swallow this humiliation?
"What about deliberately sending us to the depths of the battlefield?" Luoying said with indignation.
Long Chen spread his hands, "Isn't it normal for teleportation to fail? Runes could go wrong, the formation disk could be taken incorrectly, the sequence could be messed up – any reason works. We didn't die, and we didn't suffer substantial losses. Punishment won't be severe, and now, it's a time for the use of people, you know."
"Bang!" Luoying's fist slammed onto the table. This girl, who was usually so strong, was now driven to tears by anger. Choking, she said, "These bastards, are we just going to be bullied like this?"
The others were gnashing their teeth in frustration. Even the Luo family elder guarding them wore a helpless expression. He had lived for so many years and had seen many things like this. He believed in Long Chen's analysis because Long Chen's calculations were usually accurate to the point of being nearly flawless.
The head of the Bi family was a cunning old fox, always scheming and never revealing his intentions. The Luo family had been at a disadvantage in their battles against them for so many years. If it weren't for the old patriarch secretly favoring them, the Luo family would have fallen long ago.
Previously, they had used plots to frame Luo Zichuan, causing the deaths of many strong Luo family members. They deliberately provoked Luo Zichuan, making him strike first, and then attacked as a group. All sorts of despicable tactics were employed to seriously injure Luo Zichuan.
Luckily, the commotion was too great and attracted strong experts from other families, preventing the Bi family from killing. Otherwise, Luo Zichuan would have undoubtedly died.
They targeted Luo Zichuan because he was too strong, not just in terms of power but also his impressive leadership skills. He was intelligent and brave, a perfect combination, which made the Bi family feel threatened.
Now that they couldn't kill Luo Zichuan, they began targeting Luoyan Feng and the others. In reality, Long Chen was also their target, because if they killed Long Chen, Luo Zichuan might go insane. When Long Chen had lowered his head in contemplation earlier, he was sorting out the relationships and cause-and-effect situations. Luo Zichuan wouldn't tell him these things outright, so Long Chen had to rely on subtle clues to analyze the situation.
Seeing Luoying so angry that she was almost crying, Long Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "My silly sister, why are you crying? Stick with me, and just watch! Playing with schemes, I've never been afraid of anyone in my life. Playing with them isn't the goal; the goal is to play them to death."
With Long Chen's words, Luoying immediately stopped crying and started to smile. Long Chen had become their leader.
"Alright, we'll all follow your lead," at that moment, everyone became excited.
"Don't worry, with my word, Long Chen, I can handle anything. I won't let us suffer," Long Chen assured everyone, patting his chest.
Grandfather, I'm really sorry, but you might have miscalculated. Your grandson here isn't that big in terms of scope, but Long Chen silently prayed in his heart.
