Chapter 198 Sect Leader Appears

What Long Chen had never expected was that Song Mingyuan and Li Qi now both walked out of the crowd to stand with Long Chen . Clearly they were displaying their dissatisfaction with Qi Xin’s contemptible methods .

“Long Chen, your character is just how a man should be like . ”

Li Qi gave Long Chen a thumbs up . Then he icily swept his gaze over Gu Yang, Lei Qianshang, Qi Xin, and all their people, his eyes filled with contempt .

That caused Gu Yang and them to be infuriated . They clenched their fists angrily, but they sensibly didn’t do anything . They just waited for Elder Sun’s ruling .

At this time, Elder Sun cursed inside to see that two Song Mingyuan and Li Qi, two core disciples, would express their support of Long Chen .

That was definitely a kind of provocation to him, but he acted as if hadn’t seen them, coldly shouting, “Long Chen, you’ve ma.s.sacred your fellow sect members . That is something indisputable, and even if you try to refute it, you cannot escape from your crime . ”

Long Chen icily laughed, “What nonsense . I, Long Chen, am someone who can support all of heaven and earth . I have never not admitted to anything I’ve done .

“And furthermore, what do you mean I can’t escape my crime? Ma.s.sacring my fellow sect members? Have your eyes gone blind with age? These pieces of trash that stab their comrades in the back are also fellow sect members?”

“How presumptuous . This is just a compet.i.tion and not a true battle . How can it count as stabbing in the back?” Elder Sun had already flown into a rage after being repeatedly cursed by Long Chen .

But despite wis.h.i.+ng to crush Long Chen to death inside, he didn’t dare do anything . That was because he knew everything happening here was being monitored in secret by the high level members of the monastery . He had to act fair and impartial .

“Compet.i.tion? Then let me ask you, what does the monastery spend so much effort to raise us into? Is to play such a game the whole time?” questioned Long Chen .

“Of course not . The monastery raises you in order for you to mature into people worthy of respect, people who will uphold the Righteous path . Your goal is to eradicate those Devil Demons who endanger the common people, protecting them from their cruelty . ” Elder Sun put on the airs of a very just and righteous man .

But Long Chen had long since seen through that old man’s nature . He ridiculed, “Then in other words, we are to become fighters against the Devil Demons . Then let me ask, will we face danger when fighting against them?”

“Rubbish, how could there not be danger when fighting? Righteous people must not be afraid-”

Long Chen directly cut him off . “Since the fighting will be dangerous, then that is a life and death struggle .

“Then the reason we cultivate today is because each extra bit of strength will relate to whether or not we will be able to survive those great battles .

“In other words, this struggle for resources right now is to train us so that we can have a greater chance to survive at that time . ”

Suddenly Long Chen’s voice grew louder, echoing through the sky . “Then you old b.a.s.t.a.r.d, tell me, is this compet.i.tion supposed to be just a game?

“They betrayed us, causing us to lose all the resources we should have gained . Now without resources, our power will drop, affecting our cultivation .

“As we lose out step by step, our entire power level will weaken . That means even more of us here will die in the battles between the Righteous and Devil paths . So tell me, is this a f.u.c.king knife in the back or not?”

Long Chen’s quiet aura once more erupted when he finished speaking, and his murderous aura locked onto Elder Sun .

Everyone’s hearts trembled . Although senior apprentice-brother Wan had warned everyone that this wasn’t a game, everyone had still felt that it still simply playing around . It was just a game that very important . They had never thought that this game would concern their future life and death .

Now that Long Chen had spelled it out for them, they were completely shook . They knew Long Chen’s words were not alarmist at all .

Elder Sun’s face was green, not knowing how to respond .

If he accepted Long Chen was right, then his killing those people could be considered a justified action and he would be unable to punish him .

He wanted to retort, but he couldn’t just lie through his teeth like that . That would just cause even more people to despise him, losing all his prestige .

His expression sunk . In his heart, he already hated Long Chen to the death . It had been many years since someone had cursed him right in the face, and he actually had no way to retort now .

“You have nothing to say? Do you know why the monastery would conduct such a team battle? Why would they choose this over solo battles?

“Isn’t it because they want to raise the core disciples’ leaders.h.i.+p abilities, letting everyone work with one heart, fostering trust between us?

“Who cares if a person is that much stronger? Can they be stronger than a whole team? And that’s the only reason the monastery uses such a method for the compet.i.tion . Mutual protection, uniting as one ent.i.ty, releasing even more power . ”

Long Chen pointed at Gu Yang and them, ridiculing, “As for the ‘smarts’ of you idiots, that’s just a bunch of bulls.h.i.+t . You think a little clever ploy can count as smarts?

“With your little tricks, if you ran into the sinister and crafty Devil Demons, you would be turned into a corpse before you could ever try playing smart .

“Why are we in teams? So in the face of a death battle, we can leave our backs to our comrades .

“Because we have that trust, even if those comrades die, we know they’ll protect our backs . Can a bunch of pigs like you understand that?”

Gu Yang’s face sunk and he retorted, “Tch, a lose is a lose . What use do your complaints have?”

Long Chen smiled slightly, “Of course such words have no use for a pig like you who only thinks about himself . But I believe there are people who can understand my words .

“Those spies still hidden within other people’s factions, if you can understand what I’m saying, then be a true person and walk out on your own . Don’t deceive other people’s trust and feelings . ”

After Long Chen finished speaking, one person sighed and walked out of his faction .

He said to his core disciple, “I’m really sorry . I’ve disappointed everyone’s trust . I will leave the faction, but I also will not return to my original faction . ”

After that person walked out, there were immediately another seven others whose faces were red from shame who also walked out .
