Chapter 5797: They Must Die
As Long Chen's words fell, the entire place fell into dead silence. Every person, including those from the Luo family, stared at Long Chen in shock. While they despised the Bi family and shouted that they should kill them all, this was mostly just rhetoric. The elder patriarch would never allow them to carry it out. Eventually, they would return to the negotiation table, using the same old methods of bargaining to reach an agreement that both sides could accept.
In reality, although the conflict began with the Bi family, Long Chen led the attack on the Bi family, making the situation quite complicated. According to the expectations of the Luo family members, the best outcome would be for both sides to not hold each other accountable. That would be the ideal resolution because the Bi family had already lost a mid-stage Divine Emperor, and Long Chen had slain nearly a hundred of their elders. As for the Bi family disciples, hundreds of thousands had died, while the team led by Luo Yanfeng and others had not lost a single person. After all, Luo Yanfeng and the others were the cream of the crop among strong individuals, whereas most of the Bi family disciples on the square were third-rate characters.
At first, they dared to make a move because they saw that Luo Yanfeng's group was smaller. However, their threatening appearance turned out to be mere posturing, and they ended up being the ones in trouble. When a large number of Luo family disciples arrived, the Bi family disciples initially resisted but were soon overwhelmed.
The Bi family suffered heavy losses, with a hundred people dead, while the Luo family had lost at most one or two individuals. This was a heavy blow to the Bi family.
The expressions of the Luo family members appeared righteously indignant, especially the young disciples who felt this indignation from the depths of their hearts. However, many of the older Luo family experts were simply acting in order to secure better negotiation terms in the future. When the time came, as long as the clan leader did not hold the Luo family accountable, it would already be considered an ideal outcome.
However, Long Chen's proposed condition had left the Luo family's experts in shock. It seemed that Long Chen had no intention of negotiating at all.
"This is a huge joke. My Bi family has lost so many people, and you still have the face to make such a demand, you little brat..." cursed one elder from the Bi family.
"Pop!"
However, as soon as he finished cursing, Luo Zichuan pointed a finger, and a purple light shot through the elder's head, piercing it through.
Just like Long Chen, Luo Zichuan detested this kind of address. It was essentially an insult to Long Chen's parents and even to himself. At the moment Luo Zichuan made his move, the head of the Shadow Guard standing across from him couldn't hide his emotions. Facing the fact that Luo Zichuan had just killed a Bi family elder, he felt disrespected.
At that moment, a pair of fiery red eyes appeared in his otherwise transparent face, and ripples emerged in his eyes. Luo Zichuan felt a terrifying pressure.
Luo Zichuan held a long knife in both hands, and the power of his bloodline slowly ignited. Endless flames surged from within him. He was ready to fight to the death.
Everything Long Chen had done was at his command. No matter how big of a mess Long Chen had created, Luo Zichuan was there to clean it up. Even if it meant facing eternal damnation, he would do it.
"Long Chen, you're putting me in a difficult position," the elder patriarch sighed as he watched the Shadow Guard teeter on the brink of an explosion.
"You don't need to feel difficult. Today, I want to tell everyone in the Ziblood Clan that not all conflicts can be resolved at the negotiation table. Every life should be respected. We're not pawns, and we're definitely not bargaining chips. Today, I'm going to eliminate this tumor in the Ziblood Clan, even if it means enduring the pain of cutting out a poison-filled bone. This suffering is something that must be endured," Long Chen stated coldly.
What the elder patriarch referred to as a difficult situation was Long Chen's insistence on a non-negotiable demand, leaving no room for them to negotiate.
"Blood debts must be repaid; today, I will make the Bi family pay with their blood!" Long Chen's face turned grim, and his eyes were filled with endless murderous intent.
"You have a big mouth. What if we don't accept?"
The Shadow Guard could no longer contain himself and coldly retorted, "Is your hearing impaired? Do my tone and words suggest I'm negotiating with you? Today, I'll make it clear: no matter who it is, anyone responsible for harming the Bi family will not be spared. If the Clan Leader doesn't grant justice to the Luo family, I will be the one to deal with the villains."
Long Chen sneered, "Haha."
The Shadow Guard, angered beyond control, laughed, "I want to see how much confidence you have to make such a bold statement..."
"Boom!"
Long Chen waved his hand, causing the void to shatter, piercing through the nine heavens. A bronze ancient cauldron expanded to fill the sky, and at that moment, everything collapsed, and all laws retreated. The heavens and myriad worlds trembled.
The war drum that had blocked the battlefield was pushed aside by the bronze ancient cauldron. The bronze cauldron appeared like an emperor descending from the heavens. In its presence, the war drum quivered uncontrollably.
"Come, continue laughing at me..." Long Chen summoned the universe cauldron. The Shadow Guard's laughter came to an abrupt halt as he saw the cauldron. His eyes widened. Even his originally translucent body gradually became visible in the presence of the cauldron. It turned out that this Shadow Guard was actually an elder covered in scales.
"Bzzz..."
The universe cauldron trembled, covering the sky with its divine power. Even the late-stage Divine Emperor Clan Leader and Shadow Guard felt like ants in the presence of the cauldron.
"What is this..."
At this moment, the Shadow Guard was no longer in a laughing mood. He wore an expression of horror because he recognized the origin of this ancient cauldron. They had never seen it, but they had all seen the illustrations of it. What they saw on the illustrations matched what they were seeing now.
Most importantly, aside from this entity, what else could make the War God Drum bow down in awe?
"Are you still treating my words as a joke? I've said that I'm not here to ask for your opinions. Either you act, or I will personally take action. In any case, today, every participant from the Bi family must die. The people I want to kill are not going to be spared, even if a Divine Emperor descends," Long Chen said, looking at the Shadow Guard with a cold tone.
At this point, the Shadow Guard had been completely shocked and couldn't dare to argue with Long Chen.
Luo Zichuan was also staring at the universe cauldron above with shock and excitement. One of the legendary Ten Chaos Artifacts was now in the hands of his own grandson. That kind of honor was exhilarating for everyone.
At this moment, when the Luo family disciples looked at Long Chen, their eyes were filled with admiration and awe. In their eyes, Long Chen was a god-like existence. While Luo Yanfeng and the others were excited, they also felt a sense of loss. It was as if, at that moment, they existed in two different worlds from Long Chen, feeling the immense gap that made talking to Long Chen even a form of blasphemy.
"Enough, we'll go along with your decision," the elder patriarch sighed helplessly at this moment, while the faces of Bi Yinxiong and the others changed instantly.
