Chapter 6169 - Highly Cooperative

“Huh...” The old man was grabbed by the throat by Long Chen, endless starlight enveloping his body. He wanted to struggle and roar, but his throat could only emit strange sounds, unable to speak. However, within the barrier, those powerful beings of the third tier of the Emperor's Heaven simply watched coldly, not one stepping forward to help. Some even had a schadenfreude smile on their lips. “Whew whew...” The monstrous old man flailed his hands wildly, his feet kicking aimlessly, fear evident in his eyes. “To casually rob others of their lives, yet you fear death so much yourself. So you do understand the preciousness of life!” Long Chen sneered. “Poof.” Long Chen's large hand suddenly exerted force, and the Emperor's monstrous body exploded violently, along with the Emperor's body behind him. With the Gate of Life open, the domain of the powerful third tier Emperor's Heaven was rendered ineffective, and the abilities of the Emperor's body were stripped away. The myth of the Emperor's body being indestructible was no more. “Tsk tsk tsk, truly impressive, one strong being of the third tier of Emperor's Heaven was killed just like that.” An old man with a fair complexion, carrying a massive scroll on his back, couldn't help but admire. The old man was tall and thin, and the scroll he carried was thicker and taller than his own waist, looking extremely peculiar. “The Jiao Owl clan is originally a group of second-rate races, it seems there's nothing to it!” a middle-aged woman carrying an ancient zither said indifferently. “You can't say that. Long Chen is not an Emperor Seedling, he has no Emperor's Aura, yet can directly crush domains with just the power of stars, that's indeed strong. However, with such strength, claiming to be the first of the young generation of the human race seems somewhat lacking.” The old man with the scroll on his back looked at Long Chen, a mocking smile on his lips. “With your current displayed strength, dealing with a divine seedling with fifty strands of Emperor Flame seems effortless. But in front of a genius with a hundred strands of Emperor Flame, your strength is completely inadequate.” Long Chen's eyes narrowed. A hundred strands of Emperor Flame? If one could truly awaken a hundred strands of Emperor Flame, that would indeed be a terrifying existence. “Times have changed, the Nine Stars lineage has declined, Long Chen is considered an outstanding member of the Nine Stars lineage, right? In my Qin Sect, at least eight people have strength above yours. Heh heh, the era of the Nine Stars inheritors has passed, the Brahma lineage is making a fuss over nothing.” The middle-aged woman with the ancient zither chuckled. Long Chen coldly looked at the two, seeming to be the leaders of this group. Besides the demonic strong being he killed, others seemed to follow their lead. Since they weren't in a hurry, Long Chen wasn't either, letting them sing in harmony, to see what they intended to express. “This Long Chen is not a pure Nine Stars inheritor, he should have obtained the Nine Stars lineage inheritance through some means. But to cultivate the divine abilities of the Nine Stars lineage to this extent, he has surpassed the majority of Nine Stars inheritors. After all, we've killed so many Nine Stars inheritors, yet have never seen one with his level of strength.” An old man carrying a long sword, his presence fleeting, with eyes like sharp swords, stared intently at Long Chen, as if trying to pierce through his soul. Seeing that old man, Long Chen's killing intent surged. Before he shattered those Heaven-Peering God Mirrors, countless Nine Stars inheritors were slain. Long Chen was puzzled why such powerful Nine Stars inheritors were slaughtered on a large scale, realizing it was this group willingly acting as henchmen for the Brahma lineage. “Forget it, let's not waste words with him, let's take him down, and it'll be an explanation to Brahma Dan Valley. Brahma Dan Valley placed us here, setting up formations, everything was done according to their arrangements. Now that something unexpected happened, it's not our problem. As long as we capture Long Chen, we can report back.” The woman from Qin Sect said. Through these people's conversation, Long Chen had a revelation, realizing these people were merely going through the motions. Perhaps deep down, they didn't want to wipe out the Primordial Demon clan, as they were indeed formidable weapons against demons. But they didn't want to offend Brahma Dan Valley, so they had to come. Now with Long Chen's arrival, they had an excuse, so they didn't break Long Chen's barrier. It seems people of their level had astonishing backgrounds, and Brahma Dan Valley couldn't do much against them. They were here just to give Brahma Dan Valley face. Other clan powerhouses were the same, which is why Brahma Dan Valley left this group of 'uninspired' people here. Knowing they just wanted to bide their time, Brahma Dan Valley gave them a simple task, just set up a barrier to block the Primordial Demon clan. Because Brahma Dan Valley believed that the Primordial Demon clan couldn't break that barrier to death, so there were no other arrangements. As for those 'motivated' powerhouses, they were pulled into the hunting team, one attacking, one defending, the arrangements were reasonable. Although they didn't guard against the Primordial Demon clan, everyone saw the scene of the divine cauldron breaking the barrier. Moreover, there were long-standing rumors that Long Chen might possess the legendary Qiankun Cauldron, who could resist such a divine artifact? Although everyone coveted the Qiankun Cauldron, no one dared to seize it, as it was a hot potato. Killing Long Chen wasn't difficult, but after killing him, one would surely face the bloody revenge of the Dragon Clan, the Purple Blood Clan, and Lingxiao Academy. Even if one could withstand the bloody revenge of the three clans, this artifact would attract countless covetous eyes, especially from the Brahma lineage, leading to potential disaster. Most importantly, the Qiankun Cauldron in Long Chen's hand, true or not, had not been confirmed. After all, Long Chen had tricked people with the Qiankun Cauldron before, with the Longteng Chamber of Commerce having suffered greatly. Another point is that some say the Qiankun Cauldron in Long Chen's hand is actually the Kun Cauldron from the Qiankun Twin Cauldrons, only usable for alchemy, not combat. And for other forces, getting a pill cauldron isn't much use, this pill cauldron would only truly shine in Brahma Dan Valley's hands. In short, whether the Qiankun Cauldron in Long Chen's hand is real or not, many no longer care, whoever tries to seize it is a fool. Once Long Chen fully understood these people's intentions, he carefully sensed their aura, discovering a rich bloody aura clinging to them. That aura was extremely unique, it was the blood aura of the Nine Stars inheritors, only Long Chen could sense it, meaning they were stained with the blood of countless Nine Stars inheritors. Among the crowd, the old man with the long sword on his back had the densest bloody aura, meaning he killed the most Nine Stars inheritors. “Forget it, let this old man test his strength, you make a move, and it's easy to kill him!” The old man with the scroll on his back stepped out from the crowd, walking towards Long Chen. His steps were calm, his face full of confidence. When he stopped ten steps in front of Long Chen, he said indifferently: “Kid, I allow you to make the first move, otherwise, you won't even have a chance to...” “Slap.” Before he could finish his words, Long Chen cooperatively made the first move, slapping him across the face.
