Chapter 1498: Bad Luck Ghos

Although the three divine items had over a hundred Life Star experts supporting them, when Evilmoon unleashed its divine power, it still pierced through their barrier and escaped with Long Chen.

When the barrier broke, the three peak Life Star experts received an intense backlash and coughed up blood. The other experts that had supported the formation also turned pale from the backlash, but it wasn’t as severe.

“That black saber is even stronger than we expected. But why would such a terrifying weapon listen to Long Chen’s orders?” The beautiful woman softly muttered as she looked at the distant battlefield.

“Master, if you had interfered, then with the power of the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither and your half-step Netherpa.s.sage cultivation base, Long Chen definitely wouldn’t have escaped,” said Zi Yan with a complicated expression.

The woman was startled. “Girl, you even calculated against your master? You don’t need to overthink things. You are the future master of the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, and you aren’t able to escape your fate. While Long Chen is still a righteous hero, you aren’t able to kill him, and as your master, I can’t either. He is your devil star, and there is karma between you two that must be settled. You can’t kill him because he hasn’t turned completely evil yet, but did you not see that evil blade listen to Long Chen’s orders? The two are clearly connected, and perhaps there will soon come a day when he is completely infected by it… or…”

The woman suddenly shut her mouth, a trace of unease in her eyes.

“Or what?” asked Zi Yan.

“Perhaps I’m wrong, and it sounds funny when I say it out loud, but I feel like it’s not the black saber infecting Long Chen, but Long Chen infecting the black saber. I know it sounds illogical, but Long Chen has never walked the normal path. Anything can happen with him. Zi Yan, your primal chaos manifestation has reached its initial awakening. Although it hasn’t fully formed, it is easy for you to suppress other Empyreans. Now is your best chance to kill Long Chen. You’ve also seen how frightening he is. Even the five-colored world-destroying tribulation lightning was unable to kill him. He is a Divergent-”

Suddenly, the carriage quivered, and countless runes lit up before it returned to calm.

The woman smiled faintly. “You see? The word was sensed by the heavens even with a formation to block them. Long Chen definitely isn’t an ordinary person. As your master, I know why it’s so difficult. You can’t attack a good person. But as your master, let me warn you that when Long Chen becomes a devil, you cannot be softhearted. This is your fate, as well as your responsibility.” Her expression gradually grew grave.

Zi Yan lowered her head, tightly clenching her robes. Because she was clenching so hard, her fingers turned a bit white. Her expression was pained.

She couldn’t understand why fate would arrange for things to happen like this. Why did she have to be enemies with Long Chen?

Seeing her appearance, the woman simply sighed. No one understood Zi Yan better than her. But some things were unavoidable, and they had to be faced head-on. Comforting someone with lies was meaningless.

The woman ordered the Magical Beast pulling the carriage to turn. They were preparing to leave when the carriage was suddenly surrounded.

The people surrounding them were the three elders of the ancient races, ancient family alliance, and the t.i.tan Sect. Following them, the others also came, blocking their path.

“Who are you? Why did you refuse to show yourself from start to end? Are you someone who can’t see the light of day, or are you with Long Chen?” shouted the expert from the ancient family alliance. His tone was extremely hostile.

He was Sha Guangyan’s great-grandfather and the master of the Sha family within the ancient family alliance. He was someone with quite a high status in the ancient family alliance.

Now he had a belly full of fire. The divine item he had inherited had been permanently damaged by Evilmoon. The nick that was cut into it would never heal, and the item-spirit would require hundreds of years of nourishment to recover from the impact. Now its power had sharply dropped.

This carriage had been silent here the entire time, with the ones inside never revealing themselves. That now caused the others to feel resentful. If the ones inside this carriage had also come out to suppress Long Chen, then perhaps he wouldn’t have escaped. So their anger was now being released on this mysterious carriage.

“Immediately come out and explain everything, or don’t blame us for not being courteous!” demanded Ye Qingkuang’s master. His posture looked like he would immediately attack if they didn’t comply.

Now, three divine items in the hands of three top experts were pointing at the carriage. The terrifying divine might made the Magical Beast pulling the carriage quiver.

Zi Yan had a disgusted expression. Unable to hold back Long Chen, these people now cast their anger on them. It was absolutely shameless and ridiculous.

“Master, the Illusive Music Immortal Palace’s mission to protect the Martial Heaven Continent refers to protecting people like this?” demanded Zi Yan.

The woman shook her head. “Our mission is to protect the life of the Martial Heaven Continent, which refers only to existences which can threaten the Martial Heaven Continent. That mission has nothing to do with people like them.”

Although that was what she said, her expression was also unsightly. These people’s actions were truly loathsome. Although the Illusive Music Immortal Palace stood aloof from worldly affairs, this was just that irritating.

Zi Yan nodded and coldly shouted to the people outside, “We were just pa.s.sing by. We came to see what was happening. Is that not alright?”

Zi Yan had no good opinion of these people, especially that Ye Qingkuang. He had drawn heavenly tribulation and almost killed all the commoners in the city. He was human sc.u.m.
