Chapter 1664: There’s No Cure

How could they not be afraid? They were already completely intimidated by Tang Wan-er’s previous attack. Once Di Long came, that powerful support made them once more start shouting for their death. However, once Long Chen said this, they all turned green.

If Qu Jianying tied down Di Long, then with how tough Long Chen and the others were, who could stop them? Han Wanchang wasn’t even able to stop Long Chen, while Tang Wan-er was even more terrifying. Then there was Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Cloud, and Liu Ruyan who hadn’t attacked yet. Who knew their trump cards? If they started fighting, then their numbers wouldn’t save them. It would probably be a complete collapse on their part.

The people who had been cursing the loudest were all mute. If a fight really started, they were afraid of being the first ones targeted by Long Chen and the others. Even ten lives wouldn’t be enough for them then.

“What an arrogant tonne. You should be fortunate you’ve been in the Eastern Xuan Region all this time, or if you came to the Central Xuan Region, you’d have long since lost your life to that arrogance!” shouted Di Long.

“That really is true. The Central Xuan Region has so many impressively shameless people. Why, even a grand Netherpa.s.sage expert personally came to attack me, a little Soul Transformation disciple! Dying from shame would have been quite normal. I really admire experts who condense all their life’s cultivation base into thickening their skin. Just now, my hand even hurt just slapping such thick skin! Admirable, really admirable!” laughed Long Chen.

Long Chen looked coldly at Di Long. Even ignoring what he had done inn the Jade Lake Sacred Land, for a Netherpa.s.sage expert to actually chase him across regions was far too shameless.

The power of Long Chen’s words was not one white lower than the power of his slap. Di Long was shaking with rage.

Di Xin’s nine-line Soul Calming Jade was a life-protecting talisman with Di Long’s spiritual mark, allowing Di Long to open a spatial channel through it to launch an attack through s.p.a.ce and annihilate Di Xin’s enemies.

However, Di Long had been too careless in the Jade Lake Sacred Land. He hadn’t activated his life and death energy to seal s.p.a.ce, allowing Tang Wan-er to save them.

His attack also roused the core of the Jade Lake Sacred Land, and that core had launched an attack to destroy the spatial channel he had created.

Fortunately, the southern branch master of the ancient family alliance, Han Wanchang, had a jade plate that Di Long could use to give him direct orders. He had charged his way over here to kill Long Chen immediately, but regretfully, Qu Jianying had also come.

The fact that he hadn’t managed to subdue Long Chen and had instead been slapped in the face by him was the greatest humiliation of Di Long’s life. He, a grand Netherpa.s.sage expert, had attacked a Soul Transformation disciple. That in itself was already extremely humiliating. The slap was even worse.

Now these words were like another slap in his face. Even with Di Long’s calm, veins bulged on his forehead.

“Long Chen, don’t say random things,” shouted Qu Jianying.

Qu Jianying actually was actually very apprehensive towards Di Long. Unless she had no choice, she would rather not become hostile with him.

“Di Long, this is a misunderstanding. I understand Long Chen’s character, and he has always disdained lying. I trust what he’s saying. Furthermore, that girl from Pill Valley can also testify to it. If Long Chen was lying, he’d be quickly exposed, so he has no reason to lie. Although it might have been a bit vicious to kill those experts, have you ever considered what you would do if you had been in his place? He and his wives’ lives were in danger. Would you just let them die in front of you, or would you protect them? Don’t tell me that he could have switched to a different method to have his cake and eat it too. In that kind of critical moment, protecting his own side is an instinct, and that’s not wrong. The wrong doesn’t lie with Long Chen, but on Shen Bijun and Di Xin. Di Long, someone with such a respected status like you wouldn’t refuse to admit to this, right?” Qu Jianying turned to Di Long.

Di Long’s expression was gloomy. Di Long had looked over what had happened before coming here. This matter truly had Shen Bijun and Di Xin to blame. They were the pens who had taken the initiative to provoke Long Chen. With his status, he couldn’t just lie bald-faced.

However, to have him admit that this matter was Di Xin’s fault was definitely impossible. If he admitted to that, his previous attack towards Long Chen would become the conduct of the despicable petty little person.

“I’m still not clear on the whole sequence of events. Di Xin has fallen unconscious. I came over this time mostly to ask Long Chen for the antidote. Long Chen, if you hand over the antidote and my son survives, there will still be room to discuss this matter. If my son dies, then no matter what your reason, don’t even think about getting out alive!” shouted Di Long, pointing at Long Chen.

“The antidote?”

Qu Jianying and the others were startled. What antidote? Long Chen’s story had merely said that he had injured Di Xin and made him flee. He hadn’t said anything about poison.

In the face of Di Long’s threat, Long Chen suddenly laughed. “What a great, unreasonable excuse. Yes, it’s truly domineering enough. Then I’ll tell you, this thing has no cure. Your son’s life and death will just depend on how many sins he has committed in this life. Other than that, don’t point your finger at me, as that’s very rude. Furthermore, don’t think of me as just some insignificant Soul Transformation rookie. If you provoke me, you’ll find your nest burned to the ground.”

Long Chen really was angry now. He had been stifling his anger ever since this old b.a.s.t.a.r.d had almost killed him, and now he was threatening him again.

What made him the angriest was Di Long saying ‘ no matter your reason’. In other words, even if Di Xin was the one in the wrong, he would kill Long Chen. In what world was that reasonable?
