Chapter 5765: They've All Arrived
"Long Chen, you're back!"
When they saw Long Chen returning unharmed, the group led by Luo Yanfeng reacted with a mixture of surprise and joy. They hadn't known Long Chen for long, but he had already become the backbone of their group. Without Long Chen, they felt lost and anxious.
Now that they saw Long Chen return, their hearts instantly settled.
Seeing the worried and tense expressions on their faces, Long Chen also felt a sense of warmth. Being with them made him feel the warmth of a family.
"Let's go and redeem our rewards. Long Chen, if there's anything you want, just tell us. With over a million kill points, we can spend them however we like," exclaimed Luo Jiang excitedly.
All the captain-level powerhouses had over a million kill points, and even the vice-captains were not far behind. This time, they had made a big profit.
However, Long Chen hadn't accumulated many kill points because he had been busy directing the others and occasionally dealing with some demon clan powerhouses. His priority had been rescuing those in danger. While he did need kill points and wanted to exchange them for Luo family treasures, he believed that helping Luo Yanfeng and the others quickly become stronger was more important.
Upon arriving at the redemption point and presenting their nameplates, they were guided by a specialist to another hall along with Long Chen, Luo Yanfeng, and the other captains and vice-captains.
Everyone was puzzled, but the elder who led them into the hall informed them that because they had all surpassed a million kill points, they had the opportunity to receive a totem blessing.
This revelation left Long Chen and the others bewildered. They had never heard of a totem blessing before and didn't even know that the Purple Blood lineage had its own totem.
"Hmm."
Suddenly, the totem pillar lit up, and a divine radiance enveloped the entire hall, including Long Chen. Everyone's bodies trembled, and their purple blood instantly boiled.
Thump, thump...
What surprised Long Chen was that Luo Yanfeng and the others all fell to the ground, their faces wearing smiles as if they had fallen asleep like babies.
Long Chen looked at them and noticed that the bloodline runes within their bodies had become extremely active. Each rune seemed to be undergoing fission, a sight reminiscent of the changes in the Dragon Blood runes within him when he practiced the Dragon God Body Refinement Technique.
"Could this blessing be a form of awakening power?" Long Chen wondered.
However, the blessing power seemed to hesitate, unable to enter Long Chen's body.
Long Chen didn't mind this and slowly approached the totem pillar. His eyes were fixed on the images on the pillar, and his consciousness was instantly drawn into them.
"Hmm."
Suddenly, the surroundings around Long Chen changed. He found himself in a desert, the same one he had seen on the totem pillar earlier. He had actually entered the totem pillar.
Long Chen didn't panic. He bent down slightly, picked up the soft sand beneath his feet, and found it to be purple, just like the sky. As he spread his fingers, the purple sand slid through them, shining with a brilliant radiance. On closer inspection, it looked as if a purple starry river was falling. Long Chen was amazed.
After all the sand had fallen, he picked up another handful and continued to let it slip through his fingers. As he watched the sand slide, for some reason, he thought of a starry sea and felt inspired.
"Is it fun?"
Just then, figures appeared one by one. Among these figures, there were both men and women, mostly middle-aged, exuding a solemn and dignified aura. Even the desolate desert seemed to take on a sacred and majestic atmosphere in their presence.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man in his forties, with slanting sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, and a square jaw. He rarely smiled and exuded an inherent nobility and aloofness. He was the one who had spoken just now.
Long Chen's gaze swept over them, and a smile played on his lips. "It's quite fun. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Insolent! Meeting an ancestor and still having such a playful look on your face. How disrespectful!" The man said in a cold voice.
His eyes were like lightning, carrying the pressure of a superior. With a single shout, the entire world trembled, and his presence was terrifying.
Seeing the man's angry reaction, Long Chen simply ignored him and continued to play with the sand on the ground.
"You..."
The man was infuriated by Long Chen's behavior, and his eyebrows twitched in anger.
"Thank you for your hard work," Long Chen suddenly changed his tone.
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged man was taken aback.
"In life, you fought for the family, and even in death, you protect the family. You gave up the cycle of reincarnation, and there is no afterlife for you. You are truly great in this aspect, something I could never achieve," Long Chen said as he put down the sand in his hand and stood up, looking at the ancestors in front of him.
"Don't think that a few good words will make us forgive your disrespect," the middle-aged man snorted.
"Disrespect? Forget it, I don't want to argue with you. Why did you bring me here?" Long Chen asked.
The middle-aged man frowned. Those who were summoned here would usually kneel respectfully, afraid to say a wrong word. But this guy was acting so arrogantly.
"Do you know that you only have a part of our clan's bloodline? If you can't pass our assessment, you won't gain the recognition of the Purple Blood lineage and will be expelled," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Assessment? Why should I pass your assessment?" Long Chen retorted.
"You..."
Long Chen's question left everyone speechless.
He continued, "I came to the Purple Blood lineage to inquire about my mother's whereabouts. Staying in the Purple Blood lineage is also because I promised my grandfather to help with something. I never had any intention of sucking up to your Purple Blood lineage. Your legs are too thick, and I have slender arms and legs. I'd rather not."
"Do you have no intention of joining our Purple Blood lineage?" the middle-aged man looked at Long Chen, deep in thought.
"Is there something fishy going on here? If he has no intention of joining our Purple Blood lineage, why did he bring us here?" a middle-aged woman wondered.
"Regardless, since he's here, let's start," the middle-aged man said.
Suddenly, the man formed hand seals, and at that moment, everyone else also formed hand seals.
"Boom, boom..."
Suddenly, the void around Long Chen exploded, and endless purple chains shot towards him.
