Chapter 252 (1/2)
Chapter 252
Chu Yao had been staying behind Hua Yu the entire time . Originally she hadn’t thought about saying anything . After all, everyone present here was at the Elder level . It wasn’t that appropriate for her to speak here .
It had been Hua Yu who had dragged her over . But when she heard Elder Sun’s words, her expression changed .
“Your meaning is that Long Chen should have just watched while his father was killed without doing anything to stop it?”
Chu Yao’s voice was trembling . But that trembling was from rage . Chu Yao’s temperament was extremely good, and it was exceptionally rare for her to be this angry .
Elder Sun indifferently shook his head . “How could an ordinary mortal’s life be compared to the lives of over a thousand geniuses? Which is more important is something Long Chen should have understood as the commander . And so he deliberately committed his crime, not caring at all about the monastery’s disciples’ lives . ”
“You…!” Chu Yao was completely furious . This Elder Sun was just forcibly twisting the logic!
Tu Fang icily glared at Elder Sun . Even without saying anything, he made Elder Sun feel extremely agitated .
“Did I say something wrong?”
Tu Fang indifferently smile . “You didn’t say anything wrong . Long Chen may have made a mistake . However, a battlefield is in a state of a constant flux . As the commander, he has the authority to make any decisions . This is also why the secular world has a saying: victory and defeat are decided in an instant . The sect leader has already made him the commander, so all the authority has already been given to him . As for what he decides to do with it, it’s not up to you to worry about it . ”
Tu Fang’s words were extremely impolite . Elder Sun had truly infuriated him now . He clearly didn’t know how to appreciate his kindness .
Tu Fang was extremely clear about the matter of him targeting Long Chen . As for his goal, Tu Fang could also guess most of it .
However, since Long Chen was a Divergent, he didn’t dare meddle too excessively . If Elder Sun had instead targeted a genius like Tang Wan-er or Ye Zhiqiu, Tu Fang would have immediately arrested him .
He couldn’t understand just what Elder Sun’s head was filled with . He had targeted Long Chen multiple times, but both he and Ling Yun-zi had acted as if they hadn’t noticed . Did he not find that strange?
And now he actually wanted to entrap Long Chen again . Was he a legendary idiot amongst idiots?
“I simply feel that doing that will impact our monastery’s morale, and so-”
Tu Fang directly cut off Elder Sun, icily saying, “The sect leader has already handed all the troops to Long Chen . No matter how he leads them, the only important thing is the final result . Before the final result, you should just keep your mouth shut . ”
No matter how good Tu Fang’s temperament was, he couldn’t help being completely infuriated now . The Xuantian Monastery had truly lost face . He had no idea just how such an idiot Elder had appeared .
Seeing how ashen Tu Fang’s expression was, Elder Sun knew he couldn’t continue trying to frame Long Chen . He retreated back into the crowd .
However, no one noticed a ruthless light s.h.i.+ne in his eyes at that moment .
Ever since Long Chen had killed Wu Qi, Elder Sun had seen the sect leader look favorably on Long Chen more and more .
That was definitely not a good thing for him . He had already targeted Long Chen multiple times, completely offending Long Chen .
Now as Long Chen’s strength continued to grow, Cang Ming, Ling Yun-zi, and Tu Fang were all beginning to treat him more importantly .
He could already tell that it wouldn’t be likely for him to ever be able to obtain Long Chen’s secrets .
At this time, he should just give up . But even if he gave up, would Long Chen give it up?
Currently, Long Chen was still unable to do anything to him . But with his terrifying growth rate, perhaps it would be less than three years before he also reached the Bone Forging realm .
With Long Chen’s decisive nature that always avenged his grudges, how could he possibly let him off? And so now he was thinking of ways to have Long Chen die .
Only if Long Chen died could he live in peace . Nowadays, whenever he thought about Long Chen’s style of conduct, he would begin to feel a chill .
And so the thing he hoped for the most was for Long Chen to die on the battlefield . That way everything would be handled neatly and all his worries would disappear .
However, would Long Chen’s life be lost so easily? He was someone who had even managed to walk out of the graveyard of the exiled . He felt Long Chen wasn’t so simple . In any case, he could only take it step by step . But no matter what, Long Chen had to die .
“All troops, everyone is to obey Long Chen as commander . Those who refuse to obey his orders will be killed!” ordered Tu Fang .
Everyone obediently a.s.sented . Via the transmission jades, they sent information to their disciples .
However, they were extremely worried inside . They had no idea how many of their disciples still remained .
According to past years, at this time, it would be not bad for even half of them to still be alive .
Although the Righteous path’s disciples were weaker when fighting against Corrupt disciples, they were fortunate to have a superiority when it came to numbers . They usually had double or more the disciples, and so by the end of the battle, there was no clear victor or loser .
Unfortunately for them, none of them, including Tu Fang, were aware that this time, the Corrupt disciples had appeared in larger numbers than ever before .
“The Corrupt path’s experts are arriving!”
Someone let out an alarmed cry . A hundred miles away, a large number of people had appeared on a certain mountain .
Those figures all possessed a savage aura, as if they were fiends who had crawled out from the depths of h.e.l.l .
Those were Elders of the Corrupt path . They appeared to be around the same number as the Righteous path’s experts . The person at the front was a black-robed senior .
That senior was extremely tall, probably over seven feet tall . However, he was completely emaciated . He was essentially just skin and bones .
