Chapter 5796: Terms of Ceasefire


"Grandfather,"


Watching the imposing figure of Luo Zichuan, Long Chen couldn't help but be moved. His grandfather, such a traditional and old-fashioned man, was willing to stand against the entire upper echelon of the Ziblood Clan for him.


You see, Luo Zichuan places great importance on seniority, and engaging in armed conflict with elders is a grave offense that is unforgivable. Luo Zichuan had once gone through countless trials and tribulations, risking his life to save the ancestors of the Luo family. Now, he was willing to confront them head-on. It was an ironic turn of events.


What shocked everyone was that despite being in the early stages of a Divine Emperor, Luo Zichuan showed a sense of equality when facing the late-stage Divine Emperor, Lord Yingwei.


"Why not ask about the rights and wrongs? Why not inquire about the facts? Then tell me, why did Long Chen lead his men to attack the Bi family, fighting within the same family, with blood flowing like a river?" Lord Yingwei said angrily.


"Although I don't know what exactly happened, I believe in Long Chen. He must have had his reasons for doing what he did. If he's wrong, I'm willing to die in his place. But may I ask, Lord Yingwei, if you were in the wrong, would you do the same?" Luo Zichuan looked at Lord Yingwei with a solemn expression.


"You..."


Lord Yingwei was both shocked and furious, but he couldn't find a response to this question.


He didn't kill Long Chen because he knew there must be a reason, but no matter the reason, they were still family. Couldn't they have discussed it civilly? Furthermore, the elder patriarch had already calmed the situation down, and Long Chen's actions amounted to a direct challenge to him and the elder patriarch. How could he not be angry?


Hearing his grandfather's words, Long Chen's eyes welled up. This unwavering trust was truly moving. Luo Zichuan had lived an heroic life, unafraid of death, but he valued his integrity and feared leaving a stain on it. To point his blade at the elders of the Ziblood Clan required immense trust.


At this point, Long Chen spoke, a cold smile on his face. "Didn't the Bi family's elder lamp say that no matter what mistakes are made, they should be reported to the clan leader and decided by the clan council? Lord Yingwei, you're a powerful late-stage Divine Emperor, and you've lived for quite some time. Don't you understand this principle?"


"Nonsense..."


Lord Yingwei was furious, but Long Chen interrupted him, saying, "You also know he's talking nonsense. I only killed him to verify his words. Since Lord Yingwei can't remain calm, didn't report to the clan leader, and didn't go to the clan council but instead attacked me directly, what gives you the right to demand that we follow such rules? The Bi family mobilized all their experts to besiege and kill us, and you only see us killing them. But have you seen how many of our Luo family's disciples have died at their hands?"


As Long Chen continued, his voice grew louder, his anger escalating. Every word was like a sharp blade, leaving Lord Yingwei speechless, unable to respond.


"What do you mean we've only lost a thousand people?" Upon hearing the elder's words, Luo Ying couldn't hold back any longer and cursed tearfully.


"We didn't provoke you; we just wanted to cultivate and grow, to explore the world outside. Right before a brother died, he tightly held my hand. Do you know what he said? He told me to live well, to see that vast world for him... Ah..."


At this point, Luo Ying couldn't hold back anymore, and she broke into loud sobs. The disciples of the Luo family, thinking of their fallen brothers and sisters, displayed expressions of anger.


"You bunch of beasts, no matter how many of us die, what difference does it make? Can you compare to my brothers and sisters?" Luo Jiang roared.


"Clan Leader, please ensure justice. Let us have a life-and-death battle with the Bi family. We, the Luo family, are willing to fight until the last person," Luo Yanfeng shouted.


"The Luo family is willing to fight until the last person!"

"The Luo family is willing to fight until the last person!"

"..."


The disciples of the Luo family roared loudly, their voices shaking the skies. Years of humiliation had finally erupted.


Even though they didn't know exactly what had happened, they knew that, no matter the cause, they and the Bi family were sworn enemies. Once the battle started, there was no turning back, no need for reasons.


Facing the hysterical shouts of the Luo family's disciples, the elder patriarch sighed deeply. The feud between the Luo family and the Bi family had reached an irreparable point.


"Long Chen, say something!" 


The elder patriarch took a deep breath and addressed Long Chen.


While Luo Zichuan was the strongest among the Luo family's experts, with the power to fight a late-stage Divine Emperor, the elder patriarch knew that only Long Chen could resolve this crisis. He also silently scolded Lord Yingwei for being a fool. At a time like this, pouring fuel on the fire was the worst possible action. Lord Yingwei's previous behavior had almost given him a heart attack. If Long Chen had detonated the charged dagger, the entire Ziblood Clan would have been finished. Even with the War God Drum, they couldn't have suppressed it. At the very least, none of the disciples from both families on the battlefield would have survived.


This guy was living in the glory of the past and was still using outdated methods to deal with Long Chen. But who was Long Chen? How could he allow himself to be manipulated?


At this moment, lowering his stance and speaking softly was the only way out. Being stubborn like this would only make things go from bad to worse.


Moreover, just a moment ago, the dagger in Long Chen's hand had trembled rapidly, and the elder patriarch's heart nearly stopped. If it weren't for Lord Yingwei being an equal in rank, he would have cursed him. They had agreed that he would handle it, and yet he intervened. Now, he was locked in a standoff with Luo Zichuan, making the situation extremely awkward.


At this point, the elder patriarch looked at Long Chen, and everyone's gaze turned to him as well. In that moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats. This young man's words would determine the life and death of both families.


Long Chen's face darkened as he looked at the distant Bi Yingxiong. His eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.


"If you want a ceasefire, that's fine, but I have only one condition."


"Speak."


The elder patriarch already had a bad feeling, but he forced himself to speak.


"Every member of the Bi family, regardless of age or rank, anyone who participated in the attacks on the disciples of my Luo family, whether directly or through covert schemes, must be put to death."


Long Chen's voice was icy, echoing throughout the entire square.
