"Alright, our Chu family admits defeat. Long Chen, you are a hero of your generation. The reason you have a grudge with our Chu family is entirely because of the Luo family.
Those two girls from the Luo family may be young and beautiful, but they're not breathtakingly beautiful. As long as you give your approval, our Chu family is willing to offer you ten thousand such beauties. Whether in talent or looks, they are definitely not inferior to theirs.
If you're willing to let Chu Kuang go, our Chu family is willing to offer not only beauties but also wealth beyond your imagination.
If you release Chu Kuang, you will not only gain wealth and beauties, but also the friendship of the Chu family. Our family is willing to befriend someone as promising as you.
But if you kill Chu Kuang out of a moment of anger, not only will you be branded as the Chu family's mortal enemy, but you will also anger the Brahma Heaven Divine Venerable. At that point, the Chu family will report to the Divine Venerable and send the Nine Nether Hunters.
By then, even if you go to heaven or earth, you won't have nowhere to run. I believe you will make a wise choice. Chu Huairen suppressed his anger and spoke as humbly as possible.
His words were soft yet firm, coaxing and intimidating, extremely clever. They gave Long Chen face and a way out, allowing him to make a move down the slope without being pushed too harshly.
"Nine Nether Hunters?" Long Chen was stunned, then immediately became interested.
Seeing Long Chen's astonished expression, Chu Huairen immediately felt a bit more confident and said calmly, "
It seems you also know about the Nine Nether Hunters. They are the number one assassin alliance in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with assassins scattered to every corner of the world."
If you catch their sights, it's the most terrifying nightmare in the world—you don't even dare close your eyes, because in the blink of an eye, your life is gone.
Of course, you don't need to worry about that. Our Chu family will definitely keep our word. As long as you release Chu Kuang, we'll shake hands and make peace. How about that?" The
experts outside all turned to look at Long Chen. Long Chen smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't want to offend your Chu family. What you just said is true. Actually, I was captivated by those two pretty girls from the Luo family..."
After Long Chen said this, Luo Bing and Luo Ning's hearts began to sink, and their faces turned pale.
"But for the Luo family, offending your Chu family, offending some kind of God Venerable, and being hunted by some Nine Nether hunters—I'm a bit scared. Actually, when I said I was afraid of nothing, that was just bragging. Don't take it seriously..." Long Chen chuckled.
After Long Chen said this, the experts outside couldn't help but sigh, and in the end, Long Chen compromised.
But few people despised him. If their positions were swapped, they wouldn't dare kill Chu Kuang, because no one dared to offend the Brahma Divine Venerable—not even the academy.
If they killed Chu Kuang, not only would they be killed, but their own families would be wiped out. Although Long Chen was the next ascender, if it was discovered where he came from, that world could be destroyed.
There was nothing he could do; this was the harsh cultivation world. Strength was everything, with no reason, so he could only endure in silence.
"Hahaha, that's excellent. From now on, Long Chen, you will be the most honored guest of our Chu family." Chu Huairen laughed heartily, but deep in his eyes was a mocking and ruthless look.
Obviously, once Chu Kuang returns, he will definitely find a way to kill Long Chen. After today's battle, Chu Kuang and Long Chen are already mortal enemies—how could he possibly make peace with Long Chen?
"I was going to let him go, but your smile seemed a bit hidden, a bit intimidating. I felt uneasy." Who is Long Chen? How could he not understand his thoughts? Pretending to be a bit afraid, he said.
The smile on Chu Huairen's face instantly froze. A trace of unease arose in his heart, but he forced a face he thought was harmless and said, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid. The Chu family's reputation is its golden brand—how could we break our promise?" Long
Chen looked into the distance, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "How about this: for safety's sake, I can only return half of the people to you. That way, I can have security and feel at ease." "
Half the people?" How do you pay it back? Chu Huairen was taken aback.
"Pfft"
Long Chen twisted Chu Kuang's head off with a forceful grip, kicking the part below his neck at Chu Huairen and said,
"I've kept the head. Once you keep your promise, I'll return the other half to you."
Chu Kuang's body instantly vanished. He hadn't yet advanced to the Divine Fire Realm, and the seed of Divine Fire was still in his dantian. His head was twisted off, and he died instantly, not even having time to make a sound.
At first, Chu Kuang had listened to the conversation between Long Chen and Chu Huairen and thought he was safe, his face still wearing a relaxed expression.
Now, the head was filled with stunned expressions, but unfortunately, the light in his eyes slowly faded, and he was gone.
Chu Huairen almost instinctively caught Chu Kuang's body. In that instant, his mind went blank, and inside and outside the arena was silent, as if time had stopped. Everyone's eyes turned to Long Chen.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning's eyes widened in shock, their jade-like hands covering their cherry lips, unable to believe the scene before them.
This turn of events was too sudden. Previously, they had already discussed a handshake and reconciliation, and now they killed him.
"Long Chen..."
Chu Huairen and another elder's eyes instantly turned red, murderous intent soaring in them. They struck down with a palm to Long Chen, and in that instant, the heavens harmonized, the winds and clouds changed, and it felt as if heaven and earth were about to be shattered by the two of them.
Long Chen instantly felt his body couldn't move; he felt like an ant, unable to break free from their position.
However, there was no fear on Long Chen's face. Sure enough, as soon as the two of them made their move, a fierce sword aura slashed down.
"Puff puff"
Both palms were pierced by a single sword, shattering the terrifying force field. Long Chen immediately regained his freedom, and at that moment, he saw the head of the Discipline Institute standing in front of him.
"Interfering with disciples' assessments, ruthlessly killing them, as the three great thrones of the Discipline Institute, they knowingly break the law and kneel and submit to the law." The head of the Discipline Institute shouted.
"You ..." Chu Huairen was both shocked and furious. As soon as they made their move, they thought one could hold him off while the other killed Long Chen.
But the head of the Discipline Institute only unleashed one sword strike, but it pierced through their palms. The speed was so fast that they couldn't even see the action clearly.
At the same realm, but in actual combat power, compared to this warrior from the War God Hall, he was vastly inferior.
"Kneel and submit the law for the second time." The head of the Discipline Institute said coldly.
Chu Huairen and the old man's expressions changed instantly; they thought of something.
"Kneel and submit to the law, third ..."
Thud, thud, thud, before the elder could finish speaking at the head of the Discipline Institute, both of them knelt down at the same time.
For a moment, everyone outside was stunned. The three great thrones of the Discipline Institute were actually confronting each other here, and those two thrones had even knelt down to admit defeat.
The head of the Discipline Institute wore a stern expression, secretly cursing what a pity. The two reacted quickly; if they hadn't even knelt down after he had read the command for the third time, they could have justifiably killed them. That was just a little close.
"Buzz"
At that moment, a tremor rang out in the distance, and a beam of light shot up from the altar.
