Chapter 6945 The Divine Capital Is beyond Saving!
The roar thundered through the palace. Zi Nuo immediately frowned and glanced at Li Yuxuan.
Li Yixuan let out a deep sigh. She seemed about to speak, but stayed silent.
“It seems the divine capital really is full of talents!” Long Chen said with a smile.
He walked around the Divine Master’s statue and entered the hall, where hundreds of seats were filled.
Hundreds of hostile eyes focused on him and his group. Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, Yan Li, and the others had never faced anything like this before.
The ones capable of sitting here were the masters of the major factions. The likes of the Flame God Sect and the Spirit Heart Sect’s masters were not qualified to sit here.
Only the leaders of the major factions could sit here. Masters from sects like the Flame God Sect and the Spirit Heart Sect were not qualified to be here.
As they entered, everyone stayed silent. Their faces showed a mix of apathy, surprise, anger, and scorn.
A white-haired elder sat on the central throne, holding a white jade scepter. This elder was in charge of the divine capital. He was known as the assembly master, and his name was Huang Quan.
Li Yixuan was about to introduce Long Chen to the assembly master, but Long Chen raised his hand first.
The air seemed to tremble, and starlight filled the hall. The next moment, one of the seats shattered, and an elder was pulled toward Long Chen, who grabbed him by the throat.
“Were you the one shouting just now?” Long Chen asked.
Long Chen’s astral energy covered the elder’s body, completely suppressing his cultivation base. His legs were shaking, but he was powerless to resist.
No one had expected Long Chen to suddenly attack in front of everyone. No one, not even that elder, was prepared for it. Hundreds of people stood up and shouted at him.
“Stop it!”
Long Chen tightened his grip, and the elder burst into a cloud of blood. All their roars were cut off as the hall descended into silence.
Li Yixuan was shocked. She knew Long Chen could be reckless, but she never thought he would kill an Assembly Elder in front of so many top experts from the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture.
“Long Chen...”
Huang Quan turned ashen and pressed his scepter down on the ground. The entire divine capital started to tremble. Every brick and tile glowed as a powerful divine force gathered above the palace.
“You have gone too far! Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?” demanded Huang Quan.
“All your power stems from the divine capital’s grand formation, which is centered on the Divine Master’s statue. With how badly the will of the Divine Master’s statue has been corroded, the power of your grand formation has plummeted. Aren’t you already well aware of it? If I break out of this formation, when the great era comes, the first thing I’ll do is take my revenge. What will you use to quell my anger then? Your head?”
The grand formation’s pressure continued to grow, but Long Chen’s voice seemed to cut through it.
Huang Quan’s expression twitched. This was clearly a threat. If he did try to kill him, Long Chen would immediately flee.
Long Chen knew that he couldn’t beat this grand formation. But he was confident he could escape. If they couldn’t kill him, the divine capital would never be able to rest in peace.
“If you escape, does that mean you’ll abandon your comrades?” asked an old woman with a sinister look.
Chi Yutong and the others were outraged. This was an insult against them.
Xin Yu replied with contempt, “That’s fine. As long as Long Chen escapes, he’ll avenge us. With his strength, none of your sects will survive. I think I’m getting a good deal by taking so many of you down with me!”
“You—!”
The moment that old crone opened her mouth again, a black bolt of lightning shot out from behind Long Chen.
It was a vine. It pierced her body and pulled her over to Long Chen.
“Assembly Master, save—!” shouted the crone in terror.
Long Chen pressed his finger down and crushed her head, ending her scream.
Another sect master was dead, causing an uproar.
They all looked at Huang Quan. His expression was incredibly ugly. Countless runes lit up on his scepter, but he didn’t dare to activate the killing formation lightly.
Long Chen put his hands behind his back and stared coldly at Huang Quan. Meanwhile, Zi Nuo gripped his sword. Though his face showed no emotion, his sword intent was directed at everyone in the room.
If Huang Quan activated the killing formation, Zi Nuo would attack as well. The experts trembled under his sword intent, feeling as if their lives were beyond their control.
They had never expected Long Chen to be so strong, or to have such a fearsome sword cultivator from the Wine God Palace with him.
If the killing formation didn’t destroy him right away, Long Chen would escape, and Zi Nuo’s last attack would take many of them down with him.
Everyone broke into a sweat at the thought. None of them had ever imagined being in such a situation.
On the other hand, Chi Yutong and the others were the calmest because they didn’t need to do anything at all. They just waited patiently.
The experts in the assembly kept looking at Huang Quan. Every second felt unbearable, and their faces showed desperation.
Huang Quan gritted his teeth and finally released the scepter. The runes faded, and the pressure from the grand formation slowly disappeared.
Seeing this, Zi Nuo lowered his sword as well. The assembly members felt like they had just escaped death, and many were drenched in sweat.
“We’re going,” Long Chen said.
Long Chen looked at Huang Quan one last time before turning around. Zi Nuo and the others were startled. They were leaving just like that?
“Dean Long Chen, aren't you here to discuss the evil statue with us? We’ve gained some insights from our investigation,” said Li Yixuan hastily.
“There’s nothing to discuss. The divine capital is beyond saving!”
Long Chen walked out just like that.
Zi Nuo and the others followed, still confused. Hadn’t they come all this way for something important?
How could they just kill two people, mock the assembly master, and leave? It seemed like their only goal was to humiliate the divine capital.
Everyone in the assembly, including Huang Quan, was left stunned. They could only stare.
While everyone else was still in shock, Li Yixuan quickly flew after Long Chen.
“Dean Long Chen, please wait!”
