Chapter 5,762: A Repulsive Countenance
"What does this mean?" When they saw those two elders who were neither from the Luo family nor the Bi family, Luo Yanfeng and the others immediately sensed that something was amiss.
The elder with an expressionless face replied, "We don't have all the details. We are only responsible for escorting people."
"It must be because of the Bi family's matter! They have the audacity to report us," Luo Yanfeng and the others were furious.
Although Luo Yanfeng and his companions had limited combat experience, the disciples of the Bi family had silently appeared not far from them, clearly with malicious intent. Now, they were trying to make a big issue out of it. Luo Yanfeng and the others were indignant.
"This is something we are all involved in; let's go together!" Luo Ying shouted loudly.
The others also seemed ready to share both fortune and misfortune. Their emotions were running high, and they couldn't let Long Chen suffer.
"Noisy," one of the elders scolded coldly. "Can you youngsters be so presumptuous about important matters within the clan?"
Long Chen waved his hand, indicating for everyone to calm down. "It's alright; everything is within my expectations. I'll go with them."
"Long Chen, it's not safe. This must be a trap..." Luo Ying said anxiously.
"Shut up, do you have a say here? Get lost!" The elder seemed to be losing patience. He shouted sharply and, at the same time, waved his hand, creating a gust of energy that pushed Luo Ying far away.
Luo Ying suffered a setback, and Luo Yanfeng and the others were furious. They all placed their hands on their weapons. When the elder saw this, he was about to scold them, but suddenly, he felt a shiver run down his spine as a pair of sharp eyes locked onto him.
In that moment, he felt a chilling sensation all over his body, his hair standing on end. Long Chen was looking at him coldly.
"Do you want to die? If you do, I can grant your wish right now."
"You..." The elder was both shocked and enraged. He wanted to say something but found that his voice was trembling, and he couldn't speak at all. The intense threat of death made him involuntarily shiver.
The other elder's expression also changed. In the instant Long Chen's killing intent pervaded, he felt like he was being hunted by a primordial beast.
Seeing that the elder dared not speak, Long Chen turned to Luo Yanfeng and the others. "You guys go back and rest. When I return, remember what I told you... you understand."
Long Chen's message was clear: unless absolutely necessary, they should not reveal their true strength in front of others. He had emphasized this point to them more than once.
After conveying this, Long Chen turned and left, with the two elders following behind, their faces now dark and gloomy.
"Following Long Chen's instructions, let's go back and recover quickly. When he returns, we can discuss the rewards," Luo Yanfeng said.
The others nodded. While they were concerned about Long Chen, they knew that with the Luo family's backing, the Bi family couldn't do much to harm him. At most, they could make him feel uncomfortable, but they had no leverage over him.
The Purple Blood Hall was the same as before, but today, there were more people. Last time, there were only around sixty to seventy people, but this time, there were several hundred, all of them Purple Crowned Divine Emperors.
The atmosphere inside the hall was even more tense than last time. When Long Chen walked in, countless pairs of eyes, sharp as swords, simultaneously locked onto him.
All of these people were from the Bi family, and they stared at Long Chen with teeth clenched, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
Long Chen saw Luo Zichuan among the Luo family members and nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Luo Zichuan's meaning was clear: don't be afraid, I'm here.
Long Chen smiled. Even if you weren't here, I wouldn't be afraid.
As Long Chen entered the hall and walked past the Bi family's strong individuals, they saw Long Chen smiling. Remembering the gruesome deaths of their disciples, one of the Bi family elders couldn't help but curse, "You little beast, how dare you..."
*Smack!*
A loud slap resounded through the hall as Long Chen's palm struck the insulting Bi family elder, sending him flying.
*Boom!*
The elder crashed into a stone pillar in the hall with great force. Long Chen's slap had been incredibly powerful, causing the elder's entire face to cave in, and his blood stained the pillar red.
*Squeak, squeak, squeak...*
The elder's body slowly slid down the stone pillar, emitting a grating sound that sent shivers down the spines of many in the hall.
"Opening your mouth to insult others, were you not taught any manners? Let me teach you!" Long Chen's icy voice echoed throughout the hall.
Long Chen's slap had been so fast, precise, and ruthless that no one had reacted in time, not even the old patriarch, whose pupils had constricted. This strike had felt like everything had ended in the blink of an eye.
The entire hall was in shock, and the Bi family's experts were a mixture of shock and fury. Long Chen's slap was equivalent to slapping the entire Bi family's face.
Long Chen had sent the Bi family elder flying with one slap. Bi family elders hurriedly rushed forward to check. They found that half of the elder's face had caved in, and he looked utterly mangled. Although he wasn't dead, his bones were shattered, and his organs were crushed.
"Clan Chief, you wanted to see me?" Long Chen asked casually, as if nothing had happened, and walked to the center of the hall to face the old patriarch without any hint of subservience.
The old patriarch looked at Long Chen with a smile still on his face, seemingly unaffected by anything that could anger him. Even in the face of Long Chen's impolite inquiry, he remained unfazed.
"There is indeed something," the old patriarch nodded.
Just as he was about to continue, Bi Yinxiong, the middle-aged man with a fair complexion from the Bi family who had called Long Chen "repulsive" last time, interrupted with a sinister expression.
"Luo Zichuan, your grandson is so arrogant, showing no respect for his elders. Shouldn't you say something?"
This fair-complexioned man was none other than the current head of the Bi family, Bi Yinxiong.
Bi Yinxiong had interrupted the old patriarch's words, but the old patriarch still wore a peaceful expression and turned his gaze toward Luo Zichuan.
At this point, the elder generation of the Luo family, with Luo Zichuan at the forefront, had almost unanimously sided with Luo Zichuan. Therefore, when Bi Yinxiong decided to confront someone, he directly challenged Luo Zichuan.
Luo Zichuan glanced at Long Chen and contemplated for a moment before saying, "Dust's slap just now was as elusive as a gazelle's horn—no trace to be found. In terms of speed, strength, and angle, it was impeccable."
"Did I ask you to say all that?" Bi Yinxiong angrily retorted.
"There's nothing more to say," Luo Zichuan shook his head.
Long Chen couldn't help but nearly burst into laughter. He didn't expect his usually stern grandfather to have such a sense of dark humor. Seeing Bi Yinxiong fuming with rage, Long Chen felt a secret satisfaction.
"Bi family head, is your current appearance what they mean by 'repulsive'?" Long Chen couldn't resist twisting the knife a little further.
"You brat, asking for death!"
Bi Yinxiong's fury erupted, and in an instant, his purple crown appeared, with a suit of purple armor materializing beneath it. At that moment, a violent pressure bore down on Long Chen.
Long Chen felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation, encountering such terrifying pressure for the first time. The power contained within it could crush Long Chen in an instant, and he almost summoned the Universe Ring out of reflex.
*Buzz!*
However, at that critical moment, an equally fierce force resisted the pressure. Simultaneously, the entire hall trembled.
"Bi Yinxiong, if you're willing to fight to the death, I, Luo Zichuan, will accompany you to the end," came the cold voice of Luo Zichuan, revealing that it was he who had intervened.
