Chapter 6839 Confronting Karma
The Scarlet Blood Battle Chariot tore through space. It was dragging the corpses of the Golden Wing Heaven Devils behind it, surprising the experts who witnessed it
Chi Yutong, Chi Yuluo, and Long Chen sat together inside. Chi Yutong personally poured tea for Long Chen from a delicate teapot.
To the side, Chi Yuluo snickered. “Brother Long, did you notice how the men’s expressions changed when you got onto the chariot?”
Chi Yutong glared at her little sister. If it hadn’t looked suspicious, she definitely wouldn’t have let this mouthy girl stay here.
After thanking her for the tea, Long Chen sipped it and remarked, “Now that you mentioned it, I realize they weren’t very friendly.”
“Hehe, that’s because so far, you’re the only man ever invited onto the divine daughter’s chariot. You’re also the only person she’s ever poured tea for. Hehe, doesn’t that make you emotional?” Chi Yuluo chuckled and flirtatiously leaned closer to Long Chen’s face.
“Yuluo, mind your manners!" Chi Yutong finally had to reprimand her. Usually, her little sister was well-behaved, but she often teased her.
“It’s fine. I actually like Fairy Yuluo’s frankness very much,” Long Chen said.
“Wow, you’re really straightforward. I like the fact that you like me!” Chi Yuluo remarked, winking at him.
This could happen because there were no romantic feelings between them. Chi Yuluo was fully aware of this, which was why she was not at all embarrassed.
“Brother Long, do you have any plans for your fight against Yan Sheng? Feel free to ask us if you need assistance," Chi Yutong said, trying desperately to shift the topic.
Chi Yuluo also became serious when she heard this, looking at Long Chen solemnly.
“Thank you for your concern, but let’s not disturb the peaceful atmosphere by talking about that tumor,” Long Chen replied.
Chi Yutong and Chi Yuluo couldn’t contain their laughter. It was especially amusing to them that Long Chen had called Yan Sheng a tumor. This showed that Long Chen didn't care about Yan Sheng, so there was no need for them to take any action.
After laughing, Chi Yutong said, “I know you still hide your true power, but I should warn you that Yan Sheng specializes in using despicable methods. You must be on guard!”
Chi Yuluo nodded. “That fellow might be loathsome, but he has the power to back it up. He’s sinister and cruel. You can’t be careless!”
“It’s fine. I’ve got plenty of malicious tricks hidden away. Let’s see who’s more wicked in the end!” Long Chen said as he sipped his tea.
The two sisters exchanged a confused look. This seemingly gentle and friendly man had evil tricks?
Eventually, Chi Yuluo asked, “Long Chen, do you think his sudden appearance is connected to that evil object?”
Chi Yutong looked closely at Long Chen. Although this little sister of hers looked foolish, she was actually very sharp.
Long Chen slowly set his teacup down. He poured tea for the two of them and then nodded.
“Yes, his arrival was suspiciously quick. The timing of our battle is also suspicious. If he had scheduled it for a month or two later, word about that object would spread, and people might start uncovering clues. But he chose a date just seven days away. I’m unsure how quickly this report will reach the divine capital’s higher-ups or how long they will take to decide on this matter...”
Chi Yuluo counted on her fingers and said, “Given the current situation in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, this report will first be sent to the Heavenly Magnificence Hall for investigation before being forwarded to the divine capital. The divine capital will decide based on the severity of the report.
“Since this is a major issue, it will receive priority; however, many other matters are underway across the eight domains. It won’t be prioritized immediately. One day, plus three days, another two days, and one more day... Heavens, it’s exactly seven days! The divine capital will need at least seven days to make a decision on this matter!”
Chi Yuluo was startled. Since this didn’t seem like a coincidence, she frowned.
“That doesn’t seem quite right. If it’s the very same day, the divine capital likely wouldn't allow this challenge," Chi Yuluo said.
"So, the real question is whether there’s someone supporting that fatty inside the divine capital," Long Chen replied indifferently.
“The Zither Sect?” the two sisters exclaimed in unison.
Within the divine capital, perhaps the only faction connected to the Deep Earth Sect that could influence this matter was the Zither Sect.
However, would the Zither Sect interfere in this matter? If they did, what would that mean?
The two sisters exchanged a look, seeing each other’s shock. No wonder even someone of Zheng Wenlong’s caliber was so shocked when he saw that object. Perhaps this matter was even more complex than they had imagined.
“Long Chen, what is that thing?” Chi Yuluo asked, unable to contain her curiosity.
Long Chen shook his head.
“I don’t know either. But I am very sensitive to its aura, which is why I could sense it even through the divine statue and the formation.”
He truly didn't know what it was. However, when he first awakened his astral energy, he dreamt of someone with complete Nine Star Battle Armor battling a three-headed, nine-tailed beast.
The beast in that dream was too large for him to perceive its complete shape. It appeared to be a forbidden image. The more Long Chen tried to see its full form, the blurrier it became.
He wasn’t sure if that object was the same as the beast in the dream, but he could feel some sort of karmic influence guiding him.
That was why he did not hesitate to expose that object. He let that karma continue to manifest. That was the fastest way to bring the truth to the surface.
Chi Yutong sighed, “If this truly involves the Zither Sect, the entire Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture will be shaken! This final pure land of the nine heavens and ten lands will inevitably fall into chaos.”
“Pure land? Hahaha! Sorry, I didn’t mean to mock you!” Long Chen laughed, quickly apologizing, as it seemed like he was provoking Chi Yutong.
Suddenly, the space in front of them trembled intensely, and powerful ripples burst through the air.
