Chapter 5833 Fairy Ruyan
“Devil Eye Water Lilies!”
Huai Yushan and the others’ pupils shrank when they saw those figures. They hadn’t expected the Devil Eye Water Lily race to be together with the Daluo Azure Lotus race.
Back in the primal chaos era, the Devil Eye Water Lily race was renowned. Their status was exceptionally high, and their overall power was only slightly inferior to the Undying Willow race. If the Daluo Azure Lotus race had been a mere third-rate faction in those times, then the Devil Eye Water Lily race had stood at the pinnacle as a true first-rate faction.
Their noble bloodline and ancient inheritance made them reclusive and proud. Also, they had rejected the alliance with the Undying race. As for how they had survived the primal chaos war, no one knew.
For them to appear now, the Undying Willow race’s experts were exceedingly shocked.
The Devil Eye Water Lily experts before them were all young, numbering only a few hundred. They wore black robes, with black flames burning around them, making them appear both demonic and mysterious.
“What powerful auras!”
Huai Yushan was astonished. Each of these individuals exuded an aura that rivaled her own. It was her first time encountering so many formidable young experts in one place.
“They also have the aura of medicinal pills on them. Just like the Daluo Azure Lotus race, they are Lord Brahma’s pawns,” Long Chen muttered.
Long Chen wasn’t surprised by their appearance, but something felt off. The Devil Eye Water Lily race was not supporting the Daluo Azure Lotus race—from what he was observing, they were the true leaders.
Though they were only a few hundred strong, their presence shook the Undying Willow race. No one had expected them to possess so many terrifying heavenly geniuses. If these talents were allowed to mature, their race’s power would soar to unimaginable heights.
At the forefront of their group stood a silver-haired man clad in black robes. A vertical third eye rested on his forehead, tightly shut. But even in its closed state, its presence made Huai Yushan and the others' hearts quiver. That eye seemed to conceal an unfathomable power.
This silver-haired man had a fair complexion and was quite handsome. His eyebrows were slanted and high, while his eye sockets were sunken. The tips of his mouth were raised like he was constantly sneering at others.
As he led his people forward, the Daluo Azure Lotus race’s late-stage Demon Emperors parted to make way for them. That alone was enough to reveal their status.
The silver-haired man walked up to the leader from the Daluo Azure Lotus race and eyed the beautiful woman. He said, “I don’t like wasting time. Race Leader Yinfeng has already spoken long enough. If you still don’t understand, I’ll explain just once more: The nine heavens and ten lands have changed. The Daluo Azure Lotus race is no longer what it once was. Those minor characters you once looked down upon have ascended to great heights. If the Undying race continues to hesitate, refusing to seize their opportunity, then soon, those you disregarded will leave you far behind.”
In response, the beautiful woman eyed him coldly. Just as she was about to speak, a figure stepped forward, startling everyone.
Huai Yushan had stepped forward.
Or rather, she had been pushed forward—by Long Chen.
Despite her disdain for the silver-haired man and his arrogance, being thrust into the center of attention left her momentarily panicked.
Holding an emerald leaf in his hand, Long Chen used the Undying Dragon Tree race’s secret art to communicate with her.
Long Chen said, “Don’t let the leader speak to him. That is elevating his status. You deal with him.”
“It’s not good! I…” Huai Yushan was so nervous she could die.
Although she was fearless on the battlefield, facing this kind of confrontation was entirely different. How was she supposed to handle it?
“Don’t worry. Open your soul to me. I’ll help you,” replied Long Chen.
After saying that, Long Chen closed his eyes.
Huai Yushan did the same. When she reopened them, her panic was gone, replaced by an air of supreme confidence.
Letting Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength control her body, Huai Yushan smiled and bowed at the beautiful woman.
The woman studied her briefly before shifting her gaze toward Long Chen, hidden in the crowd. After a moment, she nodded and remained silent.
Huai Yushan turned back to the silver-haired man and spoke indifferently. “Are you saying that without joining you, we will never rise on our own?”
The abrupt shift caught the silver-haired man off guard. He had no idea who she was or what status she held.
He snorted. “Correct.”
Huai Yushan sneered, “What dogshit. As expected of a pack of dogs. Who gave you the courage to say such nonsense with a straight face? Did you really think eating Lord Brahma’s pills made you invincible? Do you not realize that the pills you’ve consumed are nothing but the leashes around your necks?”
She clasped her hands behind her back, exuding an unspeakable sense of dominance, as if all the so-called experts before her were mere ants.
The Undying Dragon Tree race’s disciples were all astonished. They had never seen Huai Yushan display such an overwhelming side. Their blood boiled with excitement.
However, in their excitement, they didn’t notice Long Chen standing there motionlessly.
Huai Yushan’s words, backed by her Undying force, resonated across the area, uplifting the Undying race’s experts.
The beautiful woman slowly smiled. When it came to a battle of tongues, it seemed that the human race was really unbeatable.
The silver-haired man’s expression darkened, and killing intent surged out of him.
“What? You don’t like it? If you want to fight, then go ahead. Don’t just bark like a wild dog. No matter what kind of trick you bring out, my Undying race will crush it,” sneered Huai Yushan.
“Big words! In that case, do you dare to gamble with me?” snapped the silver-haired man.
Long Chen sighed inwardly. As expected, the provocations had been a setup leading them to this moment. He had long grown tired of such plots among the human race.
Huai Yushan sneered, “First, spit out your dogshit proposal.”
The silver-haired man’s fury grew, but he forcibly suppressed it. He said, "I hear the Undying Willow race has many talented disciples. Why don’t we have a competition? If we lose, we will immediately kowtow and apologize. We will never disturb the Undying Willow race again."
Hearing that, the Undying Willow race’s heavenly geniuses perked up in anticipation. They had long since wanted to teach these arrogant fellows a lesson.
“And if we lose?” asked Huai Yushan indifferently.
The silver-haired man’s lips curled sinisterly. “If you lose, then Fairy Ruyan will marry me.”
Killing intent instantly exploded out of the Undying race’s experts.
“Fairy Ruyan?”
Long Chen froze, his mind reeling.
Could it really be her?
