“Fight or fuck off!”
“Fight or fuck off!”
“Fight or fuck off!”
The Dragonblood Legion’s hot blood was ignited, and the roaring of over twelve thousand Dragonblood warriors shook the sky.
“Who would have thought that the Eastern Xuan Region is so lively? It’s so gratifying.”
Just as the Dragonblood Legion’s angry roars were shaking the sky, a soft voice rang out. A chariot slowly flew over.
Chapter 1574 The Martial Heaven Alliance’s Head Arrives.
The grand carriage was carried by a giant bird, which slowly flew in front of everyone. When the carriage got closer, people finally recognized its symbol.
It was a symbol of a copper coin with a blue border. It was circular on the outside and had a square inside, representing the image of the Martial Heaven Continent’s Central Plains.
This was the symbol of the Martial Heaven Alliance, and its immortal character for ‘Alliance’ was written in the center of the square. Seeing that character, everyone’s hearts shook.
If one had to compare it, the symbol of the Eastern Xuan Region’s branch alliance had their character imprinted in the spot of the Eastern Xuan Region, on the left side. Thus, for this golden ‘Alliance’ character to be written in the center, it represented the Central Xuan Region’s head alliance.
Four alliance masters from the four branches of the Martial Heaven Alliance could only use silver characters in their symbol. Hence, this golden character explicitly showed the identity of the one in the carriage. Only the Martial Heaven Alliance’s true alliance head was qualified to sit in it.
“The Nine Wing Qilin Eagle!” cried out an expert in shock as he recognized the identity of the bird pulling the carriage.
It was a giant bird covered in scales. There wasn’t a single feather on its body, causing it to appear very bizarre. When it spread its two wings, illusions appeared around them, making it look like there were nine pairs of wings superimposing over each other.
Rumor was that the Nine Wing Qilin Eagle possessed the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Qilin. This one was at the eleventh rank, corresponding to the human race’s Life Star realm.
However, all the Life Star experts felt a chill upon seeing it. It was an extremely terrifying existence.
Rumor was that the Nine Wing Qilin Eagle was originally a Xuan Beast, but for some unknown reason, had been expelled from the Xuan Beasts and almost went extinct.
As for this particular Nine Wing Qilin Eagle, its status was special. Even the Xuan Beasts didn’t dare to do anything to it. That was because it had an extremely intimidating master.
It pulled the carriage until it stopped above everyone, and the door to the carriage slowly opened. A beautiful woman in an imperial dress walked out of the carriage, her hair tied up with a violet gold phoenix hairpin.
Everyone’s expressions changed. Many of them had fear and shock in their eyes and involuntarily hid behind Yu Xiaoyun. She was the alliance head of the Martial Heaven Alliance.
She looked to be in her thirties, with sword-like eyebrows and a high nose bridge, appearing both beautiful and heroic. Her formidable appearance would not lose to any man. She looked to be as high and mighty as an empress.
“Did you think hiding behind him would make things fine? Get out here.” The woman glared at the elder hiding behind Yu Xiaoyun. Her bark caused that person to quiver.
He nervously walked out and bowed deeply toward her. “The Eastern Xuan Region’s branch alliance master Zhao Yongqian greets the alliance head.”
Once he said this, everyone confirmed this woman’s identity. Other than a few people, none of them had known who the alliance head of the Martial Heaven Alliance was. The expert in charge of all the Righteous path’s sects was actually a woman.
“Hmph, so you still remember I am the alliance head. Good, good. This time, my seclusion lasted three hundred years. Did you think I was already dead and you could act without any reservations?” demanded the woman. Her gaze was like a sharp blade filled with killing intent.
“Alliance head Qu, this matter-” started Yu Xiaoyun.
“Shut up. This is an internal matter of the Martial Heaven Alliance, and outsiders cannot interfere. If you don’t like it, call out your true body and let’s have a fight!” she shouted.
Long Chen was startled. This alliance head was quite terrifying to not even give face to the valley master. Her temper was also quite explosive. Who would have thought that the Martial Heaven Alliance was actually led by such a tough alliance head?
The valley master’s expression twitched with anger, but he knew that this woman in front of him was a battle-crazed woman. She was the same as the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people. If she wanted to fight, she would fight.
If he pushed her, she would definitely attack. This clone of his wouldn’t be able to fight back against her at all. And since his true body was at a crucial juncture and couldn’t be moved, he had no choice but to endure.
“Yu Xiaoyun, I didn’t think that you would be so shameless as to take advantage of my seclusion. Fortunately, I came out early. Otherwise, if I, Qu Jianying, had stayed in seclusion for another hundred years, wouldn’t the entire Martial Heaven Alliance have been turned into a branch of your Pill Valley?” The woman’s aura began to rise. Her furious killing intent terrified others.
This alliance head was both powerful and domineering. Even in front of experts like the old man, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s patriarch, and the valley master, she was still doing what she wanted.
“Alliance head Qu, what are you talking about?” asked the valley master gloomily.
Qu Jianying waved her hand, tossing out a sack. Even before it landed on the ground, it opened.
There were dozens of heads in the sack, eliciting startled cries. These heads all belonged to Life Star experts.
“What am I talking about? Don’t play this game with me. All the fish you bought have been slaughtered by me, and amongst them were two branch alliance masters. Yu Xiaoyun, you really have some ability. Three of the four branch alliance masters were bought by you. I admire your skills,” sneered Qu Jianying.
When the Eastern Xuan Region’s branch alliance master saw those heads, he turned as pale as paper. He recognized most of these heads and he knew he was about to join them.
The branch alliance master knelt on the ground and begged, “Alliance head, disciple was just possessed, enticed by Pill Valley. But there was nothing I could do! My family’s lives are in their hands-”
“Slander!” Yu Xiaoyun furiously waved his hand, and a powerful gust blew apart the branch alliance master. His soul dissipated.
Yu Xiaoyun had originally been angry just at being summoned. Then, because this was just his clone without the power of his real body, he was continuously suppressed. He had reached his limit. For the branch alliance master to suddenly make such an accusation against him, even though he was slow to anger, he was infuriated.
Perhaps it was true that Pill Valley had bought him, but it had been a mutually beneficial cooperation. The branch alliance master had also benefited greatly. When had Pill Valley ever controlled his family?
Long Chen was refreshed inside. They deserved everything that came to them. It was time for Yu Xiaoyun to taste what it felt like to be framed by others. He had long since grown tired of and indifferent to Pill Valley’s method of smearing his name. However, who could really not care? It was just that there was no way to stop it.
It was just like what Boss Bao had said. Long Chen just had one mouth, while they had billions of them and some were particularly big. He could only accept being accused of the wildest crimes. Saying that he didn’t care was just making himself feel better.
“You’re clearly killing him to shut him up. Yu Xiaoyun, you’re just trying to cover up the truth. I never expected that you, the grand valley master of Pill Valley, would be so despicable. Pill Valley claims to be distanced from the cultivation world, a
nd outside of the struggle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths. But now, you’ve colluded with the Corrupt path, as well as bought the higher-ups of the Martial Heaven Alliance. Just what kind of shameful plot are you scheming?” cried out Long Chen with righteous indignation. It was like he was worried things weren’t chaotic enough.
“That’s right, my boss is right! Just looking at your current sinister and tyrannical appearance, I can tell that you’re a crafty and evil person. Even such a person is fit to be Pill Valley’s master?” Guo Ran joined in. After all, this was the best opportunity to draw attention to himself. A chance to point at Pill Valley’s master and curse him in the nose didn’t come more than once in a lifetime.
Most importantly, this situation was perfect for showing off. It was efficient, quick, painless, and a perfect example of low risk and high reward. Guo Ran naturally wouldn’t let this chance escape.
“You’re all courting death!” Yu Xiaoyun had never been so infuriated in all his years. His aura rose, and black and white energy began to surge out of him. The void shook around him.
Heaven and earth changed color, and a terrifying pressure crashed down, causing everyone’s expressions to change.
Yu Xiaoyun was truly infuriated. All the fury he had been suppressing was being released. He felt like if he tried holding it back any longer, he would explode.
Long Chen was too hateful. Each of his words was extremely humiliating to Yu Xiaoyun. He had completely lost the dignity of Pill Valley’s master.
As Yu Xiaoyun’s crazy aura spread, all the experts shook. They all collapsed on the ground and knelt in fear. That was a kind of respect toward death. Even the neutral camp’s experts were affected and knelt.
Even the Illusive Music Immortal Palace’s disciples were pale and tottering, on the verge of collapse. Only Zi Yan was calmly watching without the slightest expression. It was unknown what she was thinking.
As that aura grew stronger, even Life Star experts quivered as they knelt. They didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.
The black and white energy around Yu Xiaoyun intertwined. The white energy represented life, while the black energy represented death.
He was just like the ruler of life and death. In this space, any life could be taken with just a thought.
This was the terrifying life and death domain of Netherpassage experts. Within this domain, they were rulers. No one could resist.
Long Chen stood calmly as he watched Yu Xiaoyun release his aura. He sensed a kind of energy that had transcended mortal power. Rather than power, this seemed more like a kind of law.
This pressure was useless against Long Chen. It also lost effect against the Dragonblood warriors. They had walked the thin line between life and death countless times and had long since grown accustomed to it. They were indifferent to the fear of death.
This pressure was truly terrifying, but in the end, it came from one man. On the other hand, they had repeatedly gone against heavenly tribulation. They had faced heavenly pressure.
Seeing the Life Star experts kneeling, the Dragonblood warriors were filled with pride. Long Chen had made them continuously go against their heavenly tribulations, and now they were reaping the rewards. Each of them could look down arrogantly on these people.
“Boss, help me… I… I don’t think I can hold on any longer,” said Guo Ran, his body twitching.
Chapter 1575 A Competition of Experts
“Come, smile. Smile a bit more naturally!”
Hearing Guo Ran’s plea, Long Chen smiled helplessly. He placed an arm on Guo Ran's shoulder, and lightning sparked. Guo Ran’s body immediately stiffened. His hair stood on end, and that smile froze. He stood there, straight as a bamboo pole. On the surface, he looked very much at attention.
“Are you trying to scare a child? If you are, you’ve managed to achieve your goal, so you can put away your aura. If you want to fight, then all you need to do is nod your head. When it comes to fighting, I, Qu Jianying, have never been afraid of anyone.” Qu Jianying looked indifferently at Yu Xiaoyun as his aura rose. She clasped her hands behind her back, not at all moved by his power.
“Long Chen, don’t worry. She’s family. The old man- aiya!” The seventh boss was in the midst of whispering to Long Chen when he was sent flying by the old man’s staff.
“You’re talking too much.” The old man glanced at the seventh boss. That warning gaze was clear.
Long Chen was a bit confused, not knowing why the seventh boss would suddenly be beaten for nothing.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoyun’s rising aura vanished. Only then did others manage to stand again. However, their faces were all ashen. Netherpassage experts were absolutely terrifying. Even their previous exchanges had been nothing more than probing blows.
Netherpassage experts were in control of life and death. Such people were already close to the gods.
“Qu Jianying, what do you think you’re doing? If there are any problems, we can talk it out. My Pill Valley will see what we can do. If you want to fight, then my true body will immediately come and we can have a real battle,” said Yu Xiaoyun coldly. He was clearly expressing his attitude. If Qu Jianying forced him, then he would summon his true body.
“Hmph, don’t use your true body to threaten others. If your true body could come, it’d have long since come. You want to talk it out? Fine. In the future, keep your claws cleaner and don’t reach them out randomly. I, Qu Jianying, have not died yet. Long Chen belongs to a sect of my Martial Heaven Alliance and is one of my disciples. This matter can end here,” said Qu Jianying.
Hearing that, Long Chen was surprised. This Qu Jianying was actually intent on protecting him? That was completely going against Pill Valley.
“Impossible. In the Spirit World, Long Chen-” began Yu Xiaoyun.
“Stop talking about the Spirit World. It’s impossible for you to drown out the real history by spreading fake books and stories. I know that there are at least ten people here who know the truth about the Spirit World. It’s just that no one wants to mention them. Do you not know all the immoral things you’ve done? If that’s the case, then I won’t mind telling the story of the Spirit World and Martial Heaven Continent, letting these children who have been overdosed in your false history learn the truth,” said Qu Jianying without yielding in the slightest.
Hearing her say that, everyone’s hearts shook. Qu Jianying was the head of the Martial Heaven Alliance and a Netherpassage expert. She had to know some secrets.
Most people had only heard public stories about the Spirit World. Those stories said that the Spirit World had been allied with the Martial Heaven Continent, but in the human race’s most dangerous moment, the Spirit race had betrayed them, stabbing them in their back, which resulted in them becoming mortal enemies.
However, there were no detailed accounts regarding why the Spirit World had betrayed the human race.
Just now, Long Chen had said that he would explain, but the sharp-mouthed Life Star expert hadn’t given him a chance to, and Long Chen had killed him in his fury.
After that interruption, Long Chen had lost the desire to explain, disappointing them. Now that Qu Jianying said this though, everyone was sure there was something suspicious about it.
Long Chen always acted openly. He disdained lying. If he had simply denied that he had killed humans in the Spirit World, no one would have been able to do anything to him, especially since he was worshipped by countless disciples.
However, he hadn’t done that. Just from that, it was possible to see his character. He had to have his own reason. That reason most likely related to this secret Qu Jianying had mentioned to Yu Xiaoyun.
“Alliance head, we very much want to know the truth,” said Zi Yan amongst the neutral camp.
“You’re the apprentice of the Illusive Music Immortal Palace’s Jun Ruolan?” Qu Jianying did not reply. Instead, she asked Zi Yan’s origins.
“That’s right. Disciple Zi Yan greets senior.” Zi Yan bowed.
Qu Jianying nodded. “You’re worthy of being from the Illusive Music Immortal Palace. This karmic luck makes one envious. Do you really want to know the truth? If you learn it, your master might get angry.”
“What? Why?” asked Zi Yan.
“Qu Jianying, you shouldn’t talk rubbish. If you want to talk, you should bring out proof and pay attention to your status!” shouted Yu Xiaoyun.
“Valley master…” Suddenly, the Flame Divine Palace’s master ran over dejectedly to Yu Xiaoyun and handed him a photographic jade.
Looking at what was depicted, Yu Xiaoyun’s expression immediately changed. He suddenly roared at Li Tianxuan, “Xuantian Dao Sect, what is this?!”
Everyone was curious as to what the photographic jade had recorded to make Yu Xiaoyun suddenly act like this.
“It’s nothing. I just entrusted the Huayun Sect with spreading the truth of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s destruction to the public, letting all the Eastern Xuan Region’s people know exactly who did this. That way, they can’t accuse Long Chen of doing it. What, does that dissatisfy you?” asked Li Tianxuan politely. “Are you curious about how a fight amongst divine items could be recorded so completely? Then you can only blame yourself for underestimating the Reincarnation Mirror. Although it’s only a quasi divine item, it’s not used for fighting. It has its own special abilities, allowing it to record everything that happens in the Xuantian Dao Sect. Even if you used the Brahma Divine Diagram, even if you screened off the heavens, even if you threw space into chaos, it’s all useless. That is its heaven-defying ability. Valley master, it was your Pill Valley that participated in the destruction of my Xuantian Dao Sect and then accused Long Chen of the crime. Don’t you think you need to give an explanation to my Xuantian Dao Sect in front of all these people?”
