Chapter 1500: The Revenge Begins
Heavenly River Valley. It was a huge river valley located in the Eastern Xuan Region’s western side and slightly northward. There was a vertical waterfall dozens of miles tall. It was like a river of stars was pouring down, which was why it was called Heavenly River Valley.
Heavenly River Valley wasn’t just a location, it was also the name of a sect. Heavenly River Valley had been created eighty-seven hundred years ago. Although its history wasn’t that long, amongst sects that had been created in that era, it was well-known.
Having eight thousand years of history, Heavenly River Valley had hundreds of thousands of disciples and dozens of mines. They possessed both great power and wealth. Compared to the declined Xuantian Dao Sect when Long Chen had joined, it was many times better.
Six hundred years ago, Heavenly River Valley had had some conflicts with the Xuantian Dao Sect. Of course, the cause of this conflict was due to profit.
Heavenly River Valley had established their own mine on the border of one of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s mines. They had brazenly s.n.a.t.c.hed the Xuantian Dao Sect’s resources.
After a battle between them, through the Martial Heaven Alliance and Pill Valley’s ‘mediation’, they decided that since Heavenly River Valley was closer to the mine, based on territorial rights, the Xuantian Dao Sect had overstepped its bounds by mining here.
However, this mine was extremely old. In fact, it was even older than Heavenly River Valley. In other words, this mine had been here before Heavenly River Valley had even been established.
It was just that mining this ore was very difficult, and the Xuantian Dao Sect didn’t have the extra manpower to put too much energy into mining it quickly. They could only mine it in the easiest, most efficient manner. As a result, Heavenly River Valley had set their sights on it.
Through this mediation, the mine was taken by Heavenly River Valley. In name, they were to compensate the Xuantian Dao Sect with some resources. But in comparison to the mine, that compensation was nothing.
Afterward, Heavenly River Valley had become another member of the powers suppressing and bullying the Xuantian Dao Sect. They went against them in every possible way.
As for the valley master, he had partic.i.p.ated in the attack against Long Chen in the Eastern Xuan City at the beginning and also joined the others to capture him after the heavenly tribulation.
Over half a month had pa.s.sed, and the valley master kept himself locked in his calm room. But he didn’t manage to calm down much at all. He felt like there was a fire in his heart torturing him.
Long Chen had managed to escape in the battle of the Eastern Xuan City. The instant that had happened, the valley master’s heart had risen into his throat and never gone back down. He spent each waking moment praying for Long Chen to succ.u.mb to his heavy injuries and vanish from this world.
With each pa.s.sing day he felt worse. He was filled with terror, afraid Long Chen would come to find him.
Just as he was sitting uneasily, an explosive sound came from outside, and his room quivered. At the same time, the voice that he had least wanted to hear rang out.
“The Xuantian Dao Sect’s Long Chen is here. If you don’t want to die, then hurry up and scram. If you want to reincarnate, then come quickly.”
The valley master charged out of his secret room and into the plaza. He saw Long Chen holding Dragonbone Evilmoon up in the air, overlooking Heavenly River Valley’s experts like a devil G.o.d.
“Long Chen, you-”
The valley master had just opened his mouth when Long Chen’s saber slashed down. He wasn’t aiming at the valley master but a statue.
That was their ancestral statue. Despite the protective formation, it immediately exploded, revealing the divine spring below. That was Heavenly River Valley’s spring of karmic luck.
The heaven and earth divine spring was almost always placed below the ancestral statue, or if the sect wors.h.i.+pped a G.o.d, it was beneath the statue of their G.o.d. Through thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the devout actions of the disciples would condense faith energy that strengthened the divine spring.
This heaven and earth divine spring was an extremely mysterious existence. Everyone knew that it was the foundation of any sect, and once it was destroyed, a sect would quickly decline. The sect would definitely vanish within a hundred years.
“You fiend Long Chen! What do you think you’re doing?!” demanded the valley master. Long Chen was completely destroying Heavenly River Valley. But while he roared furiously at Long Chen, he didn’t dare to charge out. Not only him; none of Heavenly River Valley’s experts dared to charge forward.
They all knew who this person was. Probably there was no one within the Eastern Xuan Region who wouldn’t recognize this black-robed man with a black saber on his shoulder.
It was because they knew who he was that they didn’t dare to charge forward. They all knew that if they did, there would only be one conclusion for them: death.
Long Chen didn’t say anything else. He waved his hand, sucking away the divine spring and putting it into his mind-sea for the Divine Gate Star to absorb.
“Gong Wanxiao, today I didn’t kill one member of your Heavenly River Valley, but Heavenly River Valley will no longer exist in this world. The enmity between us has been settled. If you don’t want to accept this, I will face your challenge at any time,” said Long Chen toward the valley master.
Long Chen knew all the information of Heavenly River Valley’s inheritance, the cultivation bases of their experts, the name of the valley master, and more. This was information Zheng Wenlong had given him.
These were not business secrets. Even without the Huayun Sect, Long Chen would have been more than capable of asking around about this. So Zheng Wenlong hadn’t betrayed the Huayun Sect’s rules by giving him this information.
