Chapter 5871: One Spear, One Shield
"Lord Xihua, how many days will it take us to travel from here to the ancestral land of the Magic Eye Sleeping Lotus tribe?" Long Chen asked.
"Activating the power of the ancestral tree will only take half an hour to reach," Lord Xihua replied.
Upon hearing the mention of the ancestral tree, Long Chen recalled the vast vitality he sensed when he first arrived at the Undying Clan. It seemed that what Lord Xihua referred to as the ancestral tree was that very source of immense life force.
If they were to use the power of the ancestral tree for teleportation, it meant the journey was extremely distant and couldn't endure the time consumption.
"In that case, we'll depart in three days!" Long Chen pondered for a moment and declared.
"Why not depart immediately?" Liu Qingyu asked.
"Qingyu," as Liu Qingyu just spoke, he was sternly stared at by Liu Minghao. Did this guy's brain get waterlogged?
The Supreme Lord had entrusted everything to Long Chen, and even Lord Xihua and the others needed to follow Long Chen's arrangements. Liu Qingyu's questioning was clearly provoking Long Chen.
Even with Liu Minghao's warning glare, Liu Qingyu still questioned with some defiance, "Half a day is enough for us to rest. Why waste time waiting for three days? The Magic Eye Sleeping Lotus tribe has been provocating us for countless years, making us restless. I don't want to wait a moment longer for the time of revenge."
"If you don't want to wait, that's fine. If you can challenge the entire Magic Eye Sleeping Lotus tribe alone, we'll all follow your lead. The key is, you need to have the strength. What? The wind has stopped, the rain has ceased, and you feel invincible again?" Long Chen looked at the unruly Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu was immediately dumbfounded. Although he had become somewhat arrogant, due to his fearlessness, he had died the most in the Seven Treasure Space among the young generation of the Undying Clan. He had even died several times more than many others.
This rapid growth in strength made him the fastest to progress. Currently, among the powerful individuals of the Undying Clan, he only respected Liu Minghao. Liu Rujiao was no longer in his eyes.
Even though he respected Liu Minghao, it wasn't because of his strength but his wisdom. Although Liu Qingyu believed his strength had surpassed Liu Minghao's, he still acknowledged him as the leader.
Among the young generation of the Undying Clan, only Liu Minghao's words held weight. But no matter how strong Liu Qingyu was, he didn't think he was invincible. Challenging the entire Magic Eye Sleeping Lotus tribe alone? That was a joke.
"Long Brother, don't be angry. Qingyu has that temper, but he's not a bad person," Liu Minghao quickly intervened to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I know he's not bad; he's just foolish," Long Chen nodded, readily accepting Liu Minghao's advice.
"You... you're the foolish one!" Liu Qingyu retorted angrily.
"Liu Qingyu, you're truly beyond help. Have you forgotten who gave you that incredible improvement, like being reborn?" A disciple of the Undying Clan couldn't bear to watch and spoke out.
Having experienced the improvement in the Seven Treasure Space, many Undying Clan disciples shifted from hostility to respect and even admiration for Long Chen. Despite not being a member of the Undying Clan, Long Chen had their gratitude. For Liu Qingyu to confront Long Chen like this was ingratitude, and it disgraced the entire Undying Clan.
Long Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone not to act rashly. He looked at Liu Qingyu and said, "Your current strength has far surpassed others at the same level. In the process of numerous deaths in the Seven Treasure Space, you finally comprehended the essence of the techniques bestowed upon you by the Supreme Lord. You've become arrogant, and you have the right to be. However, your arrogance is limited to the Undying Clan. In my presence, you are still nothing. In a match on the stage, you can at most last ten moves. In a life-and-death duel, I can kill you within three moves."
With Long Chen's words, the temperature in the hall instantly dropped, and a chilling killing intent locked onto Liu Qingyu. Liu Qingyu's hair stood on end, and the instinct of life made him unconsciously take two steps back. He was shocked to find that Long Chen before him resembled the terrifying figure in the seventh layer of the Seven Treasure Space, making him appear so insignificant.
"Drip, drip." Suddenly, blood spurted out of Liu Qingyu's mouth. Unable to bear the terrifying mental pressure any longer, he fainted.
Liu Qingyu passed out, and everyone felt awkward. Many secretly cursed Liu Qingyu for being too arrogant and disrupting unity.
"Long Chen, how about we temporarily detain this guy!" Lord Xihua suggested. Even she found this troublemaker quite troublesome and didn't want him to participate in such activities.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I dislike him, but I can't detain him. He is the strongest force of the Undying Clan."
"This..." Everyone was surprised by Long Chen's evaluation of Liu Qingyu.
Long Chen looked at Liu Minghao and continued, "You are stable, wise, and have the gaze of a great general. You are a qualified commander. If you can survive, the future of the Undying Clan should be in your hands. However, you have a fatal flaw, a somewhat weak character. The soft can only defend the foundation but cannot expand it. You must have a strong and resolute person to assist you in order to break new ground and reclaim what the Undying Clan has lost. He is the spear of the Undying Clan, and you are the shield. With both offense and defense, strength and gentleness, only then can the Undying Clan truly shine."
Upon hearing Long Chen's words, Liu Minghao and the others were taken aback. What was this? A prophecy? After all, wouldn't even the Supreme Lord refrain from saying such things? What was Long Chen's basis?
Basis? Long Chen didn't care about any basis. He just wanted to get his wife out first, and the rest of the problems of the Undying Clan were their own to solve.
"Alright, everyone, follow me. The two things I'm going to do are: one, help you defeat that guy; two, give you an extraordinary treasure."
As he spoke, Long Chen had already walked out of the hall.
