Chapter 324
Blood splattered .
Guo Ran jumped in fright and immediately took out the cylinder he had just put away . He saw that at some unknown time, a spear had appeared in Long Chen’s hands .
The end of that spear had firmly stabbed into a man’s stomach . That man was holding a saber above his head . He was still frozen in his attacking posture .
The man looked in disbelief at his stomach . Blood was slowly flowing out from around the spear .
Long Chen’s spear twisted, and a powerful force erupted from the spear, instantly turning the man into a pile of mincemeat .
“It’s a Corrupt disciple . Take his spatial ring and let’s keep going . ” Long Chen flung the blood off his spear indifferently .
With a random wave of his hand, he had killed a Corrupt core disciple, his expression so indifferent that it was like he had killed a rabbit . No, not even a rabbit . Perhaps an ant would be more accurate . Long Chen’s expression didn’t change at all .
Guo Ran could clearly sense that after Long Chen had advanced to Tendon Transformation, his will had completely transformed . It was even fiercer than before .
Seeing how gingerly and disgusted Guo Ran was while he fished out a spatial ring from that pile of flesh, Long Chen was a bit embarra.s.sed . “Next time I’ll try to hold back a bit . ”
“Why would there be a Corrupt disciple lying in wait here? Why isn’t he searching for the treasures here?” Guo Ran didn’t understand .
“His strength was average, and he couldn’t beat the people inside . If he was a bit careless, he could even lose his life in there . It was better for him to ambush people here . If his luck was good, he might have been able to catch some fat sheep,” said Long Chen .
“Since he ran into boss, I’d say his luck wasn’t that good,” laughed Guo Ran .
“Well, his appearance is still a warning to us . Those corpses we ran into were all from the Righteous path . Most likely there were a couple powerful Corrupt disciples who came in,” said Long Chen .
On the way, they had run into over ten corpses, all of which were Righteous disciples . Furthermore, the way they had died was extremely bitter . Whoever had killed them had been extremely vicious, and it was obvious it had been done by Corrupt disciples .
Long Chen didn’t dare be careless . Although his vision wasn’t better than Guo Ran’s, his soul’s divine sense had taken the place of his eyes to see everything almost a mile around him clearly .
They continued around another three hundred meters when the path once more diverged, this time into three separate tunnels . Long Chen carefully examined the imprints here .
Although Guo Ran hadn’t left anything special here, Long Chen was still able to distinguish a difference between the paths to pick the path people that only had footprints going in, not out .
“This one . ” Long Chen pointed to the path on the right . The two of them continued . At this time, the cave was already pitch-black . Guo Ran was essentially blind .
Not everyone had powerful Spiritual Strength like Long Chen . And even with Spiritual Strength, not everyone was able to condense divine sense . Only pill cultivators were blessed with that advantage .
They continued for over a mile . That desolate, ancient air was growing stronger . Suddenly, light appeared in front of them .
They had arrived at a large lounge . This lounge was extraordinary, and was at least four thousand meters wide . There were four pillars in the lounge that had ancient lines carved into them .
On the walls of the lounge were tens of murals . But due to how much time had pa.s.sed, the majority of them had become damaged . However, some of them were still intact .
When Long Chen and Guo Ran entered, there were hundreds of people carefully searching around the lounge .
There were dozens of corpses on the ground now, and their blood was still warm . They had clearly died not long ago .
The lounge’s people were split into two sides . Eighty percent of them were wearing the robes of the Righteous path .
Amongst those Righteous disciples, almost half of them were wearing robes of the Xuantian Monasteries . When they saw Long Chen enter, many of them appeared shocked .
As for the Corrupt disciples, there were only fifty to sixty of them . They were all gathered together, closely examining the murals on the wall . They didn’t even deign to look in the direction of the Righteous disciples who outnumbered them four to one . They were filled with contempt and ridicule for them .
In comparison to the Corrupt disciples, the Righteous disciples looked much more nervous as they carefully paid attention to their surroundings .
There were several holes in the lounge . From the look of them, they seemed freshly dug . Most likely the two sides had noticed something good and fought over it .
However, of the corpses on the ground, only one was a Corrupt disciple; the rest were all Righteous disciples . Obviously the Righteous path hadn’t ended up with any advantage despite their numbers .
“Long Chen, you haven’t died?”
When Long Chen and Guo Ran entered, there was no reaction from the Corrupt path . Instead, it was the Righteous path’s disciples who looked at him with shock, especially those disciples from the Xuantian Monasteries .
Evidence and claims of Long Chen’s ‘fiendish actions’ had been encouraged by someone behind the scenes, and practically all the supermonastery’s disciples were aware of it .
