Chapter 6834 Execution
This elder was an acquired Divine Sovereign, but that level was no longer enough to challenge Long Chen.
Because this elder had been abusing his position in the city, his body had rusted. Long Chen’s pressure forced him to his knees.
Long Chen pressed his foot down on the elder’s head, squashing his face. The elder tried to fight back, but he couldn’t move.
“Long Chen, don’t!” Chi Yuluo jumped in fright. She hadn’t expected this seemingly harmless fellow to be so vicious. It seemed that he was going to kill this elder.
“Brat, how brazen! Release him immediately, or don’t blame us for the consequences!” the other elders shouted angrily.
BOOM!
In response, a violet qi wave spread from Long Chen, sending all those elders flying.
“If I want to kill him, then unless a Heavenly Sovereign descends, no one can stop me. If you don’t want to die, scram!” Long Chen exclaimed, his voice ice-cold.
The elders nearly coughed up blood from the force of the qi wave. They were furious. None of them expected the youngster in black robes to be this strong. He acted like they didn’t matter at all.
Still, even though Long Chen spoke so boldly, he wasn’t in a hurry to kill the elder. Otherwise, the elder would already be dead.
“Inform the city lord!” ordered one elder secretly.
Everyone in the city was shocked. Just what was this black-robed man thinking?
Chi Yutong calmly stood to the side. She seemed to realize something and did nothing to stop Long Chen.
She did not seem surprised that Long Chen could suppress this elder so easily. If he didn’t have this level of power, she wouldn’t waste the effort to pull him in.
Meanwhile, the Flame God Sect disciples were stunned. Even though the elder wasn’t their equal, defeating him would still take effort.
But Long Chen was crushing him with just his presence. His strength was terrifying. Perhaps even Chi Yuluo couldn’t do this.
Chi Yuluo was honestly surprised. She could do the same, but only by using her essence rune. It wouldn’t be as easy for her as it was for Long Chen.
Long Chen coldly said, “Damn fatty, are you this fat because you’re hiding so many evil intentions? I’ve already killed two elders from the Deep Earth Sect before arriving here. I heard your sect is vengeful, but if you wanted revenge, why didn’t you come straight at me? Instead, you make it seem like I am disrespecting the heroes of humanity! What a lowlife.”
Long Chen’s words echoed through the city for everyone to hear. Those who had believed the elder were furious. They realized they’d been fooled, and that the elder was trying to use them to kill someone.
Chi Yutong’s eyes lit up as she finally understood what was happening. She let out a sigh of relief.
This elder was from the Deep Earth Sect, which didn’t get along with the Flame God Sect. In fact, there were some real conflicts between them.
When the elder went after Long Chen, Chi Yuting assumed the Deep Earth Sect was planning to target the Flame God Sect.
But the fat elder wasn’t after the Flame God Sect—he had other sinister plans. Now that he’d been exposed, it was the Deep Earth Sect’s reputation that suffered.
Not that they had much reputation to lose, but Chi Yutong still enjoyed seeing them humiliated.
Since Long Chen was clearly in control, Chi Yutong was content to watch from the sidelines.
"If your only intention was to defame me, I could understand. We do have some grievances, and seeking revenge is understandable. However, claiming that I am blaspheming your ancestors—are you not afraid their heroic spirits might be angered by this?" Long Chen said, rubbing his foot against the elder’s face.
The sound of flesh rubbing against the bricks made people wince.
The elder was shaking, but he couldn’t even speak under Long Chen’s pressure. It felt like his insides would explode if he opened his mouth.
“Friend, if you have issues with the Deep Earth Sect, that’s not my concern. However, please show some respect and stop fighting on the altar. Our ancestors would be displeased with such conduct,” said someon.
A dignified, white-haired elder suddenly appeared on the platform.
“It’s the city lord! I thought he just announced he was going into seclusion?”
“The city lord is a supreme Divine Sovereign! Now we’ll see whether this person dares to keep acting so arrogantly!”
Some people were very displeased with Long Chen’s actions. For the city natives, it seemed as if Long Chen was figuratively trampling on their faces too.
“Long Chen, this is City Lord Yunkong. He is highly respected and righteous. He will definitely listen to your side of the story,” said Chi Yutong.
“I don’t dare to accept the red-robed divine daughter’s praise. I will not interfere in competitions between sects. But with our ancestors watching here, I have no choice but to step forward,” the city lord said.
He immediately had a bad feeling upon hearing Chi Yutong’s lavish praise.
Although he was the city lord, the position actually rotated among different leaders. As long as the city stayed relatively peaceful, his responsibilities remained few.
After all, the fat elder came from the Deep Earth Sect, while Chi Yutong came from the Flame God Sect. The City Lord didn’t want to get embroiled in their war.
City Lord Yunkong had said he didn’t care to interfere in their enmity. But they had to fight outside the city.
Long Chen couldn’t refuse the City Lord’s command and kicked the fat elder aside.
The fat elder immediately got up once freed from Long Chen’s pressure. Half his face bore a brick imprint, while the other had a shoe imprint.
He glared at Long Chen venomously, looking on the verge of going out of control.
“I heard that the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture is the final pure land of the nine heavens and ten lands, but I can’t find any evidence to support that claim. A pure land shouldn’t be able to produce such a toxic and insidious fatty, no?” Long Chen said, shaking his head.
“Brat, how dare you kill members of my Deep Earth Sect?! Even under the protection of the Flame God Sect, you'll surely die!” roared the fatty.
“Are you threatening me?” Long Chen asked, slowly raising his hand.
Seeing this, the fatty instantly got a bad feeling and fled.
All of a sudden, a violet light flashed. A large hand crushed the fatty in front of countless shocked gazes, turning him into blood mist.
“Long Chen!”
Long Chen killed someone right in front of the shrines, which was a major taboo. This made him an enemy of the entire Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, and even Chi Yutong was panicked to see this.
“You are courting death!” City Lord Yunkong shouted.
However, before he could do anything, Long Chen waved his hand toward the shrines. One of the divine statues flew over to him, causing people to gasp.
Bang!
The divine statue shattered.
Seeing this, Chi Yutong turned pale. This was essentially a declaration of war against the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, making her his enemy as well.
After the statue burst apart, a faint sound rang out as an object fell to the ground. The enraged City Lord Yunkong instantly froze, as if paralyzed.
