Chapter 6944 Divine Master
Zi Nuo swung his sword, sending a streak of Sword Qi straight at the second gate.
The second gate was tightly shut, and no one was nearby. It was obvious the divine capital wanted to show Long Chen who was in charge.
Suddenly, the runes on the second gate lit up as the barrier activated.
BOOM!
A loud explosion echoed as Zi Nuo’s Sword Qi shattered the barrier in an instant. It was as fragile as paper in front of him.
People on the other side cried out in shock as the second gate was blown apart. Dust filled the air, and the sound of Zi Nuo sheathing his sword was clear and sharp.
“If anyone dares to play games with me again, I don’t mind tearing down the divine capital!” Long Chen’s voice echoed through the city.
Clearly, many people in the divine capital thought Long Chen was being too arrogant. They wanted him to behave and follow their rules.
However, they didn’t expect Long Chen to ignore them completely. Zi Nuo attacked the city gate without hesitation.
Long Chen made it clear that anyone who wanted to talk to him had to show respect first. Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind an all-out war.
At this moment, a female voice rang out.
“So the emissary from the Wine God Palace has come! My apologies.”
At that moment, a beautiful woman in a green dress emerged. She seemed to be in her forties, but she exuded elegance and nobility. Xin Yu cried out in surprise upon seeing her.
“Aunt Xuan!”
Her name was Li Yixuan. She was a sect master who got along well with the Spirit Heart Sect. Xin Yu had met her three times and always called her Aunt Xuan.
Li Yixuan smiled at Xin Yu, nodded, and then bowed to Long Chen.
“Dean Long Chen, my apologies. Some people in the divine capital doubted your power, so they tested you. It was very rude. However, Dean Long Chen has already shown those people that those who judge others unfairly will always face the consequences.”
Long Chen looked at Li Yixuan, already expecting this. Zi Nuo’s Sword Dao contained divine power, making it obvious who he was. Once they understood this, they naturally didn’t dare to continue causing trouble and quickly sent someone to mediate.
Li Yixuan was always good at handling situations like this. She was too kind for Long Chen to be angry with her.
Furthermore, Li Yixuan was also clever. She criticized those who targeted Long Chen, making it clear she was on his side
Li Yixuan said, “I am Li Yixuan, the sect master of the Full Moon Sect and a humble Outer Elder of the divine capital. Dean Long Chen’s glorious arrival was meant to be a grand occasion, but the divine capital is overcrowded with funny people, which can spoil even the best events. I kindly ask Dean Long Chen to forgive our previous misconduct.”
Long Chen instantly realized what she was saying. The divine capital was full of idiots, and the smart ones were not the ones in charge.
He could hear her helplessness. These people had caused the trouble, but she was the one cleaning up for them. She definitely wasn’t happy about it.
If Long Chen did take out his anger on her, there was nothing she could do. She could only take it. However, she still stated it clearly for him. At the very least, she had to prove that she wasn’t the one targeting him.
“Senior is too courteous. When a forest gets too big, naturally there will be all kinds of bad birds. I was already mentally prepared for it. It’s all within my expectations,” Long Chen said with a slight smile.
“Many thanks for your understanding! Please come this way.”
Hearing this, Li Yixuan relaxed a great deal and gestured for Long Chen and the others to follow her.
Long Chen walked alongside Li Yixuan, while everyone else followed behind him. Long Chen walked with Li Yixuan, and the others followed behind. Zi Nuo realized that the Wine God Palace’s customs were very different from those outside.
In this barbaric world, if someone didn’t act barbarously, they wouldn’t even get a chance to speak. Only by acting like Long Chen and boldly showing strength could someone earn others’ respect.
It was almost funny, but that was just how things were. Some people just wouldn’t listen to reason.
Using brute force wasn’t the best solution, but it was definitely the fastest and most effective.
“Are there transportation formations inside the city?” asked Long Chen suddenly.
Li Yixuan looked at him in surprise and replied, “Dean Long Chen, your senses are truly sharp. That’s right, there are transportation formations inside the city, but only the Assembly Elders can use them when an urgent meeting is called.”
The transportation formations that led inside the city were right inside the central assembly. Thirteen barriers stood between here and there. These were meant to hide the formations, but Long Chen still sensed them.
Long Chen nodded. “Good. If all the central figures of the divine capital are here, I will be able to determine the fate of the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture.”
They quickly passed through thirteen gates and arrived at a grand palace.
A divine statue stood at the front of the palace, sitting on a sacrificial altar and holding a divine scroll. Light shone from it, and its powerful presence made people want to bow down.
But the statue’s face was left blank, so no one could tell if it was male or female, happy or angry. It was like a mirror showing all the possibilities of life.
“This is the Divine Master, the one who awakened our ancestral blood when we were children,” Chi Yutong said.
When she saw the divine statue, she couldn’t help but kowtow. The same was true of Xin Yu. Both of them had only awakened their ancestral blood after kowtowing to the divine statue.
“Back then, you kowtowed to one of the smaller statues. This is the main statue of the Divine Master. It is only proper for you to pay respects after being blessed,” said Li Yixuan.
“So the Divine Master is not one person, but the divine will formed from tens of millions of divine energies,” said Zi Nuo.
“As expected of the Wine God line’s heir, you are entirely correct. The Divine Master is a condensation of all the heroic spirits who died protecting the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. After they died, their soul essence gathered to continue protecting this world. We later built the Divine Master’s statue and offered our respects to those heroic spirits. As we pay them our respects, the heroic spirits respond by bestowing their blessings, helping us awaken our ancestral bloodlines and making us stronger to stop the invasion of the outsider devils. In truth, the Divine Master’s statue came first, and only later did the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, with its millions of god legacies, come into being,” explained Li Yixuan.
“It’s just a shame that the statue’s divine will has been corrupted. Furthermore, it is corrupted by two different forces. It will collapse soon,” Zi Nuo said, shaking his head with pity.
“What?!” Li Yixuan froze, staring at him in disbelief.
Then, a furious roar came from within the palace.
“How dare you blaspheme the Divine Master and spread lies?! That alone deserves execution!"
