The entire Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect was very reserved, no longer having their old arrogance. Even their disciples were no longer arrogantly looking down on others.
The reason Long Chen knew this was because he had spotted several of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples.
He was in front of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s gates. Warm sunlight sprinkled on the ground. Towering mountains covered in mist filled this region.
There were dozens of disciples standing in front of the gates. They had long since gotten used to this beautiful scene and stood there like wooden statues, not moving.
These disciples were at the Sea Expansion realm and were Celestials. For the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect to send Sea Expansion Celestials to guard the gate, it could be seen how much stronger they were than the Xuantian Dao Sect. The Xuantian Dao Sect normally had outer sect disciples guarding the gate, and they were only at the Xiantian realm.
Those disciples now saw a black-robed man with a large black saber resting on his shoulder slowly walking up the steps. He was sharply contrasted by the sunlight.
He was walking slowly and calmly, yet each step caused the ground to shake. It was like a giant was walking.
The sunlight caused a halo to appear around him, making it so others couldn’t see his face clearly. This figure was mysterious, yet he also gave off a heavy feeling that made it hard for them to breathe.
“This place is the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect. Newcomers must state their names!”
Those disciples shook. This black-robed man hadn’t released any of his aura, but they all felt their hair standing on end.
The black-robed man seemed to not hear their words. He continued walking slowly. He was getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking harder and harder.
His footsteps were like thunder in their ears. Those disciples felt that this person was a fiend from hell slowly approaching them. They could smell the scent of blood and slaughter.
All the disciples suddenly took out their blades. One carefully shouted, “Newcomer, report your name! Otherwise, don’t blame us for activating the grand formation to kill you!”
Yet, the figure still ignored them. He continued walking. As he advanced, the sunlight eventually fell away from his figure.
“Long… Long Chen!”
When the piercing sunlight stopped shining on him, those disciples all saw the young face that had shaken the entire Martial Heaven Continent.
Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. It was a handsome face that was worth a second look, but at this time, that face was completely icy. His eyes contained terrifying killing intent.
With Evilmoon on his shoulder, Long Chen slowly advanced. He had black robes and a black saber. He was just like a devil god.
“If you don’t want to die, don’t get in my way.” Long Chen’s footsteps didn’t pause as he slowly raised Evilmoon.
Buzz.
One of the disciples hastily slapped one of the stone pillars beside him. Countless runes gathered in the air into a runic blade that slashed down on Long Chen.
This runic blade was the result of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s grand formation. It could easily kill Life Star experts.
BANG! A scale-covered fist smashed apart the huge runic blade, and the resulting shockwave killed the disciples guarding the gate.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. Don’t blame me.” Long Chen snorted and took a single step forward, vanishing. When he reappeared, he was within the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect.
Continuous explosive sounds began to ring out, and a huge barrier of light covered the entire Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect. But at this time, Long Chen was already inside.
“Who dares?!” A cold cry rang out. A Life Star expert appeared.
However, Long Chen ignored him. He continued at the same pace, going toward a certain mountain.
The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect had eighty-one large mountains and forty-nine rivers. The refined mountains and winding rivers made the scenery here exceptionally beautiful.
“Even such beauty couldn’t influence their hearts.” A disdainful expression appeared on Long Chen’s face. He hadn’t expected the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect to be so beautiful. However, there was no way to describe the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect as a magical wonderland filled with heroic spirit.
This beautiful scenery had only raised a group of sinister and shameless fellows. This beauty was a waste.
“Long Chen, you dare to barge into my Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect? Haha, your guts are quite big!”
Countless experts began to rush over, and they all saw that it was Long Chen. A Life Star expert sneered at him.
“My guts might be even bigger than you think. Call out Qi Yunao.” Long Chen didn’t even look at that person. He continued advancing, crossing several miles with each step. It looked both slow and fast at the same time.
“Little brute, you’re listed as a wanted criminal throughout the entire Martial Heaven Continent, but you still dare to say such arrogant words?! Since you want to die, I’ll help you out!”
This Life Star expert was the person promoted to the vice sect master position after Ma Xingkong had died. The only reason he had been promoted was thanks to Long Chen. If Ma Xingkong hadn’t died, he never would have had that opportunity to be promoted.
Yet, he didn’t thank Long Chen at all. With a cold smile, he took a single step, seeming to teleport in front of Long Chen.
This was a spatial art, and it was extremely profound. Normally, only a Life Star expert could possibly use such a technique.
When he appeared in front of Long Chen, the runes behind him connected with the grand formation in the air. He sent out a punch at Long Chen.
This punch contained the power of the grand formation. It seemed to come from every direction.
Pow!
He was still sneering when a large hand viciously slapped him across the face and distorted his smile.
The sound shook the sky, and the entire formation trembled. This new vice sect master was slapped flying.
The sound of bones breaking also rang out. The vice sect master’s face had caved in. Beads of blood sprinkled through the air along with some broken bones.
The millions of disciples of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect were struck dumb like chickens having heard thunder.
They couldn’t believe their eyes. Their vice sect master, a Life Star expert, someone backed up by their sect’s grand formation, was sent flying by a slap in the face from a disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
This was thanks to the grand formation’s protection. Otherwise, this vice sect master would no longer exist in this world.
At the Jade Core realm, Long Chen almost killed a Life Star expert with a slap. All the experts of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect were stunned, unable to move or speak.
“Help me out? Do you really think you’re capable of that? What a huge joke.” Long Chen didn’t even look at the vice sect master. He continued walking forward.
As he advanced, all the experts in front of him fell back.
Even their vice sect master had almost been killed by a slap. They were filled with horror.
“Little brute, you’re too arrogant. This isn’t somewhere you can run rampant. Be suppressed!”
The vice sect master suddenly let out a furious roar and rapidly formed hand seals. The grand protective formation began to quiver.
Chapter 1471 Challenging a Sect on his Own
The grand formation in the air shook, and countless runes gathered from it, condensing into a golden spear. It pierced down like a heavenly spear.
This was an attack that contained the full power of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s grand protective formation. It was terrifyingly powerful. Just the pressure from it made everyone’s hearts quiver.
Moreover, they were just feeling some weak shockwaves. They were unable to imagine the pressure Long Chen was under as the main targ
et of the attack.
“The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s mouths are loathsome. Ah, whatever. I’ll be the one helping you out today.” Long Chen slashed Evilmoon, and a huge black saber-image crashed into the spear.
BOOM!
The spear exploded. Not only that, but the huge saber-image also split apart the sky. The grand formation was broken.
Cracks spread throughout the formation until it completely shattered.
“The grand formation… it… it broke…?!”
Long Chen’s shocking attack not only crushed the grand formation, but it also crushed all their hearts.
His arrival had caused an alarm to ring throughout the sect. All their experts had rushed over, only to witness a power even more terrifying than the legends. Long Chen’s power made it so none of them even dared to resist. They were all pale, filled with terror.
The vice sect master coughed up blood from the backlash of having the grand formation broken. Suddenly, his vision flashed. Long Chen had appeared in front of him and slapped him in the face.
“Your mouth is too disgusting.”
The vice sect master already had a handprint on his face from the first slap. This time, he wasn’t sent flying but was directly blown apart instead.
Long Chen swung the back of his palm in another slap, which ended up missing. His original intent had been to continuously slap the vice sect master.
He had forgotten that without the support of the grand formation, the vice sect master couldn’t endure even a slap from him. The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s people had extremely weak physical bodies.
With his physical body destroyed, the vice sect master’s Yuan Spirit flew out. He tried to flee, as there was no way he could block Long Chen.
The vice sect master was filled with regret. He had been too confident. He had never imagined that Long Chen was so terrifying.
Just as he turned to flee, Long Chen pointed a finger. A lightning arrow pierced through the Yuan Spirit.
“Nooo…” The vice sect master’s cry of despair hung in the air as his Yuan Spirit exploded. Ripples spread in the air where he died.
“He didn’t know about what Qi Yunao did?” Long Chen was surprised. He had rapidly investigated the vice sect master’s soul, and he hadn’t found any restrictions. He had quickly gone through the majority of his memories but hadn’t seen any memory of Qi Yunao attacking the Xuantian Dao Sect.
When he had killed the Corrupt dwarf, he had managed to grasp a fragment of his soul in which he had seen the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff unleashing a powerful attack, as well as Qi Yunao’s figure. Clearly, this vice sect master didn’t know the truth.
Long Chen waved his hand, and the ripples in the air faded. The vice sect master completely died.
“All members of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect, I, Long Chen, have come today for revenge. If you don’t want to die, then you should hurry up and scram!” Long Chen looked coldly at the distant disciples of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect.
Long Chen began to float into the air, Dragonbone Evilmoon on his shoulder. After killing the vice sect master, he appeared indescribably imposing. He was like the reincarnation of a devil god.
“Haha, how senseless.” Dragonbone Evilmoon snorted, its voice full of disdain. It clearly found Long Chen’s actions to be incorrect.
To Dragonbone Evilmoon, there was no need to even say such a thing. Since he had decided to be decisive, then he should slaughter everything within the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect, making it a land of death without even a chicken overlooked.
Yet, for Long Chen to actually warn such people, Dragonbone Evilmoon couldn’t comprehend such foolishness.
“Long Chen, are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Just as all the experts of the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect were filled with terror, a voice suddenly rang out.
Two new figures appeared. One was the one Long Chen recognized, Qi Yunao. He held a violet-gold staff in his hand, and divine light circulated around his body.
That staff was composed of nine strands of wood, and its head had nine gemstones shining with divine light. Primal chaos circulated around it along with a Grand Dao.
This was the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s core divine item: the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff. It was as famous as the Xuantian Tower and the Heaven Splitting Blade.
There was also an elder beside Qi Yunao. When Long Chen saw this person, he narrowed his eyes. He also recognized this person. He was a Life Star expert, but he was not from the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect. No, he came from the Martial Heaven Alliance.
Back then, the Eastern Xuan branch of the Martial Heaven Alliance had had their vice alliance master, Deng Cang, collude with Pill Valley’s Zhuo Tianxiang. They had tried to borrow the power of all the Eastern Xuan Region’s sects to destroy the Xuantian Dao Sect.
However, Long Chen had slapped them in the face, and then the Huayun Sect’s Yue Qingshan had exposed Deng Cang and Zhuo Tianxiang’s relationship. In the end, Deng Cang had been handled by the Martial Heaven Alliance.
Afterward, the Martial Heaven Alliance had sent someone to the Xuantian Dao Sect to express their apologies and give them their reward for their contributions. They had also done the transactions for the resources the Xuantian Dao Sect had asked for with the greatest speed.
The person in charge of that was precisely this person. Long Chen recalled that his name was Luo Jinnan. He was the current vice alliance master of the Eastern Xuan region’s Martial Heaven Alliance.
For him to appear now, Long Chen immediately sensed something fishy. He coldly stared at the two of them, not saying anything.
Qi Yunao’s arrival lifted the spirits of all the disciples present.
“The sect master has finally come out of seclusion! We’re saved!”
“Please sect master, kill this brute Long Chen! But don’t give him too easy of a death!”
“Don’t forget to extract his soul. There are plenty of ways of slowly torturing him…”
The terrified disciples immediately had their morale explode. They all began to curse Long Chen, looking like they wanted to personally tear him apart piece by piece. They were no longer afraid.
“Didn’t I tell you that you were stupid? You actually wanted to let these people off? Did you think they would be grateful? What a joke,” sneered Evilmoon.
“I have no enmity with these people, so I gave them a chance to live. If they could grasp it, then fine. If they couldn’t, then I’ll simply kill them and they can’t blame me. I always keep my conscious clean,” said Long Chen indifferently.
Long Chen was not a saint, but he wasn’t a homicidal maniac either. Amongst the millions of disciples in the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect, there were many idiots. But there were definitely some good people as well.
For this small portion of good people, Long Chen gave them a chance to live. As for whether those good people grasped that chance to leave or not, it was up to their luck.
In this merciless world of slaughter, he could only do so much. To be merciful on the battlefield was purely courting death. And that death would be very miserable.
Experts had to kill decisively. They couldn’t be sloppy, nor could they be soft-hearted. That was why Evilmoon found Long Chen’s actions very contemptible. But Long Chen had his own principles.
“What bullshit. It’s just a waste of time,” said Evilmoon disdainfully.
Long Chen ignored its tone. Instead, he asked, “Can you handle the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff?”
That was the Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s core divine item. Everyone knew its power. Now that he saw it, he felt a bit uncertain.
“That staff is a bit decent I suppose. Perhaps I can’t handle it in my current state.” Evilmoon’s words caused Long Chen’s expression to change, but it hastily added, “Don’t start cursing. First, I’m still very weak, and two, I’m still under the Sovereign’s seal. It’s only natural I can’t beat it. But don’t p
anic, although I can’t beat it, holding on against it for some time won’t be a problem. This time, we’re only here to dredge up some benefits before leaving.”
After hearing the rest, Long Chen felt better. If Evilmoon couldn’t handle the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff, then today, he would have really sent himself to his death.
Now, he didn’t need to be in a rush. He calmly stared at Qi Yunao and Luo Jinnan.
“Long Chen, you are a disciple of the Righteous path, but your heart is filled with evil. You slaughter your fellow race and join sides with devils. You’ve become completely different. Don’t you think it’s time to put down your blade and face the consequences?” shouted Luo Jinnan.
Long Chen stared at Luo Jinnan and then looked at Qi Yunao. Possibilities rapidly flitted through his mind. He calmly said, “Luo Jinnan, as vice alliance master of the Eastern Xuan Region, what intentions do you have by slandering me?”
“Slander? You are a wanted criminal of not only the Corrupt path, ancient races, ancient family alliance, and the Bloodkill Hall, but you are also a wanted criminal of the Martial Heaven Alliance. Everyone has issued a death warrant for you. When everyone in this world is already your enemy, why would I need to slander you?” sneered Luo Jinnan.
“Even the Martial Heaven Alliance views me as a wanted criminal? That’s surprising. What’s the reason?” asked Long Chen lightly.
“The reason? You betrayed the continent and colluded with the Spirit World’s tree demons. You even helped those tree demons slay your fellow humans. If you just killed Corrupt experts, no one would care. But you killed people from the ancient races, and that threatens the peace of the continent. Most importantly, you even slaughtered people from the ancient family alliance mercilessly. They are a faction within the Righteous path. Now, not only are you a traitor of the Righteous path, but you are also a traitor of the entire continent. So, is this reason enough?” Luo Jinnan smiled coldly. With the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff on their side, he was fearless.
