Chapter 1626: Criticized by Everyone

“Long Chen, how can you be so shameless?!” roared w.a.n.g Hai, his eyes scarlet like a furious lion.

“How can you call this shameless? Although I practice medicine to help others, that doesn’t mean I treat their illnesses for free. Furthermore, I put in good work to help cure you, so how is it shameless? Could it be that a grand Empyrean doesn’t even have the money to pay your medical fees?” Long Chen looked curiously at w.a.n.g Hai.

“My w.a.n.g family has plenty of money, but you…” w.a.n.g Hai couldn’t keep going. He was slapped, couldn’t retaliate, and now the other side wanted him to pay money for the slap. Long Chen was clearly the one with a mental illness.

“You have money, but don’t want to pay? Then I really look down on you. As a doctor, I operate in good faith. I can’t accept IOUs. Hurry up and pay,” urged Long Chen.

Everyone looked oddly from Long Chen to the w.a.n.g brothers. They didn’t know exactly what they were feeling right now. They had never experienced such a thing before in their lives.

“How much money?”

In front of countless strange gazes, w.a.n.g Shan spat out some words since w.a.n.g Hai was quivering too hard from rage to speak.

“Not that much. After all, I practice medicine to help people. It didn’t take much effort on my part, and your illness wasn’t fully cured. I’ll charge a very small fee of ten thousand spirit crystals,” said Long Chen generously, raising a single finger.

This generous offer caused everyone to suck in a cold gasp of air. This was definitely extortion. For most of the heavenly geniuses present, even their entire net worth would only be a few hundred spirit crystals. For that previous woman that Long Chen had saved to offer him a thousand spirit crystals showed that she was actually very rich. Now, Long Chen was charging someone ten thousand spirit crystals for a slap in the face. That was definitely going too far.

“Here.”

Just as everyone was feeling like Long Chen had gone too far, w.a.n.g Shan tossed out a spatial ring at Long Chen. He sneered, “Take care to stay alive long enough to spend it.”

Clearly, w.a.n.g Shan and w.a.n.g Hai hated Long Chen to the bone now, and the enmity between them was one that would not end without the other side’s death. If this wasn’t the Skywood Divine Palace, they would probably have started a fight to the death.

“Thank you for your care. I don’t have many outstanding points, but my life is pretty tough. If anyone wants to take my life, they can come at any time.” Long Chen received the spatial ring. Looking at the ten thousand spirit crystals inside, he laughed just like a petty person who had gotten their way, causing w.a.n.g Shan and w.a.n.g Hai to clench their teeth furiously.

“Just wait. My brother is friends with Di Xin! He’s a heavenly genius from the Central Xuan Region! Now that you’ve offended us, no one can save you!” said w.a.n.g Hai through clenched teeth. He didn’t care about the ten thousand spirit crystals, but he was thoroughly infuriated and said some vicious words.

Long Chen placed the spatial ring in his pocket and disdainfully said, “You shouldn’t constantly bring up who is friends with who. Does that have any meaning? Is a court eunuch capable of having the emperor avenge him? He doesn’t even have his life rod, so who cares?”

“You…!” w.a.n.g Hai coughed up another mouthful of blood, and sharp pain suddenly wracked his body. His unmentionable illness was flaring again, and he hastily swallowed a medicinal pill to suppress it.

“I’m sure you know best just how many evil things you’ve done. If you’re so bored as to cough up blood constantly, you should think about those resentful spirits. If you simply think of your current situation as retribution for them, you’ll feel much more at ease,” advised Long Chen.

“Long Chen, you have gone too far!”

Just at this moment, someone new spoke out, criticizing Long Chen. He was another expert from the Southern Xuan Region. He felt like Long Chen had gone too far with his bullying.

“That’s right. Are you challenging our Southern Xuan Region? If you weren’t a guest here, there wouldn’t be any chance of you leaving alive now.

“How can you humiliate others like this? You’ve lost the demeanor a cultivator should possess. So what if you’re strong? All you are is a strong monster.”

More and more of the Southern Xuan Region’s experts added in their criticism. One reason was that they didn’t know what the retribution Long Chen was talking about, while another reason was that Long Chen was, in the end, an outsider. There was naturally discrimination in each region toward people from the other regions.

Some women even stood up and said that Long Chen was as skinny as a monkey and had no muscle. He wasn’t a real man, so he didn’t have the qualifications to mock others.

Toward their criticism, Long Chen merely smiled and didn’t retort. People always liked to judge things from their point of view and think that they were the ones who were correct. There was no need to explain anything to them.

In any case, Long Chen had finished slapping some faces and extorting some money. His mood had improved. At this time, he should quit while he was ahead.

If he decided to try explaining things to fools, he’d just end up irritated again. That wasn’t worth it.

Ignoring these people, Long Chen left. Those people thought that he was afraid and immediately charged over to block him. As a result, that Elder reappeared and stopped them, saying that this matter ended here. Anyone who brought it up again would be kicked out.

After throwing off those people, Long Chen continued strolling through the Skywood Divine Palace. It was truly unimaginably huge.

In truth, the Skywood Divine Palace’s main palace wasn’t that much bigger than the original Xuantian Dao Sect’s. However, its outer territory was huge. Everything within hundreds of thousands of miles was their territory.
