Chapter 944 (1/2)

Chapter 944: 944

The entire Eastern Wasteland was trembling because of one name . That name was Long Chen, Devil King Long Chen .

His name had spread throughout every corner of the Eastern Wasteland . Any place with people knew Long Chen’s name .

Whether it was the cultivation world or the secular world, he was a topic mentioned over and over . Everyone discussed this strange figure . There were even many people that went to the Phoenix Cry Empire to investigate him .

However, the majority of those people’s questions were not nice ones . Some people’s investigation concluded that having been bullied so much in his youth had caused Long Chen’s heart to grow twisted, turning him into a bloodthirsty devil king .

Then others added fuel to the fire, painting Long Chen as an unreasonable fiend, an immoral criminal .

There were even some who said Long Chen had already joined the Corrupt path . He definitely had some sort of relations.h.i.+p with them . When that theory was released, many people had retorted, arguing that Long Chen wouldn’t do such a thing . Hadn’t he fought against the Corrupt path so fiercely in the Immemorial Path? In fact, hadn’t he joined hands with the experts of the Immemorial Path to slaughter tens of thousands of elites from the Corrupt path?

However, those retorts were drowned by countless louder screams . In fact, those questioning people were threatened to stay silent . Some even disappeared from the world .

As a result, the Eastern Wasteland’s public opinion was that Long Chen was a cruel devil king with a twisted heart .

But this devil king was too strong, and he only grew stronger . Not only had he slaughtered the Corrupt path’s experts, but he had also exterminated the ancient races’ army . Now, his fiendish hand was stretching toward their Righteous path . He was intent on overturning the Eastern Wasteland .

Just at this time, the era’s hero appeared . That hero was the Remote Heaven Gang . They couldn't bear to see the Righteous path destroyed, and to avoid the loss of innocent lives, they sent out invitation cards for a Devil Execution Conference .

They invited all the brave warriors beneath the heavens to join hands to slay the devil in the name of the Righteous path, returning the cultivation world to its old brilliance .

And today was the day of the Devil Execution Conference . The Remote Heaven Gang was extremely lively as tens of thousands of sects arrived . Millions of Righteous experts had gathered .

The Remote Heaven Plaza was full of an unprecedented number of righteous heroes .

Looking at the packed plaza, Ji Changkong smiled . He said, “The old patriarch truly is amazing . He was able to gather practically all the experts in the Eastern Wasteland . ”

“But of course . Changkong, you’re looking down on our Remote Heaven Gang’s foundation . Although we were low-key during the past years, in truth, we were just patiently developing . After thousands of years of planning . All the various sects’ higher-ups have our Remote Heaven Gang’s people in them . There are even some sects that are completely under our control . It was all in preparation for today . We’ll use this chance to force the Xuantian Dao Sect out of the Eastern Wasteland .

“No matter how strong the Xuantian Dao Sect is, it’s not like they can kill all of the Eastern Wasteland’s Righteous path,” said the master of the Remote Heaven Gang, Ji Hongling .

“That Long Chen really was terrifying . He actually had such a trump card . ” A bit of fright appeared on Ji Changkong’s face . He had seen the images of Long Chen unleas.h.i.+ng the Eastern Wasteland Bell . If Long Chen had used it against them in the Immemorial Path, he would have been dead .

“You don’t need to worry . That’s definitely a weapon beyond the King item level . Its spirit-item should be too proud to accept Long Chen as its master . It left right after attacking, meaning Long Chen only had an agreement with it to help once . Fortunately, that one time was used on the ancient races . Now our Remote Heaven Gang can use this Devil Execution Conference to kill Long Chen and drive off the Xuantain Dao Sect . Then the Eastern Wasteland will be the Remote Heaven Gang’s . In other words, it’ll be our Ji family’s land . ” A pleased and sinister smile appeared on Ji Hongling’s wrinkled face . It was like she could already see the sight of the Remote Heaven Gang dominating the Eastern Wasteland .

“Do you think Long Chen will come? He kept hiding within the Xuantian Dao Sect before this . It seems he really is out of trump cards and doesn’t dare to go out,” said Ji Changkong .

“Whether or not he comes, the result will be the same . We’ve gathered practically all the Eastern Wasteland’s Righteous path . The patriarch even invited some friends who had been in seclusion for a thousand years . Killing Long Chen and the others will be as easy as turning a hand . Hmph, if my guess is right, it should be that the Xuantian Dao Sect is afraid and has asked for a.s.sistance from their head sect . They’re waiting for reinforcements . Once those reinforcements arrive, this matter won’t be so simple . But did Ouyang Qiuyu really think that I, Ji Hongling, would give her that chance? What a joke!

“During the Devil Execution Conference today, we’ll show the Righteous path the evidence of Long Chen colluding with the aboriginals . Then with a bit more ‘proof’ and ‘sworn testimony’, we’ll make sure everyone knows Long Chen is an absolute villain . In any case, public opinion is under our control . As long as we wave the banner of heroically killing a devil, killing Long Chen is easy .

“If Ouyang Qiuyu tries to stop us, then that means she’s protecting a devil . Then can’t we just kill her as well? In any case, we have all the proof and testimony we need . Even if their head sect sends people, so what? Do they dare to kill all the Eastern Wasteland’s Righteous path? Impossible! Once the Devil Execution Conference is over, Long Chen will be dead, and whether or not Ouyang Qiuyu stays alive, the Xuantian Dao Sect will definitely be torn down . Changkong, remember, strength is important, but intelligence is even more important . So what if Long Chen is strong, so what if he encountered amazing opportunities? He’s just a slightly stronger weed . No matter how strong he is, can he fight all the Eastern Wasteland’s Righteous path? To be a hegemon doesn’t rely on martial strength . This world has its own rules, and only those who understand those rules can become hegemons, understood?” said Ji Hongling .

“This child understands,” said Ji Changkong .

“No matter how strong one person becomes, so what? Can Long Chen become stronger than our Remote Heaven Gang with its thousands of years of history? The old patriarch has already arranged everything . At that time, Long Chen will die to your hands . So what if you lost to him before . With him personally being killed by you, you will still be the king of the Eastern Wasteland . With the Remote Heaven Gang behind you, who would dare to fight against you?” sneered Ji Hongling .
