Chapter 1769: The Grand Elders’ Dignity

“Grand Elder…”

The First Elder, Third Elder, Seventh Elder, and Ninth Elder instantly turned ashen .

“Hmph, a pack of treacherous b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, do you not know what you have done?” Qu Jianying’s granduncle-master snorted . Light shone out of his eyes, and it was like he could see through the cosmos .

The Grand Elder who had become young looked completely different from his previous decrepit-self . He was like a completely different person, and his gaze was incredibly sharp .

“Grand Elder, we-!” shouted the Elders .

The First, Third, Seventh, and Ninth Elders’ bodies exploded into blood mist .

The remaining five elders were pale with terror . They didn’t know what had just happened .

“I’m sorry . I was powerless . ” Qu Jianying suddenly knelt on the ground with shame .

“Why would you apologize? You’ve already done very well . It’s impossible to avoid some traitors . Now that the great era has come, it must have been hard on you with the four of us still sleeping,” said Qu Jianying’s granduncle-master . “Furthermore, it’s my fault, not yours . I never pa.s.sed the Spirit Void Eyes onto you, so how could you see their thoughts? However, I didn’t expect Pill Valley to go so far . Their claws have even landed on the nine core Elders of the Martial Heaven Alliance . Well, what’s done is done . Since we’ve come out, we don’t plan on going back into seclusion . We’ll support you, so do what you want . ”

“Then Long Chen’s matter…”

“That person is very dangerous . When I tried to look at him with my Spirit Void Eyes, they were almost destroyed . Fortunately, I pulled back as soon as I sensed the danger, or my life would have been in danger . ”

“What?! How is that possible?!” Qu Jianying jumped in shock . Others might not know, but she was aware of her granduncle-master’s Spirit Void Eyes . They were able to see through a person’s thoughts and kill them without needing to do anything else . Back when he had been the one in control of the Martial Heaven Alliance, he had struck fear into the hearts of countless experts .

However, he was now saying that his eyes had almost been destroyed with just a test . If he hadn’t personally said it, she wouldn’t have believed it no matter what . Even now, she found it hard to believe .

“His past is a ma.s.s of primal chaos, his future is a ma.s.s of mist . I can’t see anything . If such a person was good, it would be a blessing to all life . If they were evil, it would mean the destruction of the world . It’s incredibly dangerous . The reason I tested him with words was to see if I could get him to owe a favor to the Martial Heaven Alliance . I wasn’t asking him to protect the Martial Heaven Alliance; I just don’t wish to see him destroy it . ”

“Long Chen wouldn’t do such a thing . This child cares heavily about relations.h.i.+ps,” said Qu Jianying .

“You should look beyond just the surface . People like that can easily go to extremes . In a fit of anger, he could tear down the very heavens . You have shown favor to Long Chen, so he would be willing to walk through fire for you . But what if you died? He would go crazy . If the ones to cause your death were inside the Martial Heaven Alliance, could you guarantee that he wouldn’t destroy the Martial Heaven Alliance?” asked Qu Jianying’s granduncle-master profoundly .

“But…” Qu Jianying didn’t know how to respond to that . She had never thought of that scenario .

Of the nine core Elders, four had been bought by others and without anyone being the wiser . If they had caused her death, Long Chen would definitely kill the four of them as vengeance for her . But the four of them would naturally deny his accusations, and they would summon the entire Martial Heaven Alliance to stop him .

With Long Chen’s temper and his disdain for explaining, anyone who stopped him during his vengeance would be killed . Then the Martial Heaven Alliance might really be destroyed by Long Chen’s hands . Thinking of that, cold sweat covered her back .

Compared to her granduncle-master, she was still immature . She hadn’t even thought of this scenario .

Perhaps the four of them had been bought precisely in order to lay a trap for her or for the Martial Heaven Alliance . Then their backer would be able to defeat the Martial Heaven Alliance without needing to shed a single drop of their blood . It was simple .

“Long Chen already possesses such power at the Soul Transformation realm . Once he advances to Life Star, he will be even more terrifying . Regretfully, he’s too proud and refuses to be bound by our favor . We have nothing we can do to him,” said Qu Jianying’s granduncle-master .

“Nothing can be done about it . Let’s drink . ”

Another Grand Elder had already started pouring the wine jug Long Chen had given them into four small cups . However, they were unwilling to gulp such precious wine down .

Qu Jianying’s granduncle-master bitterly smiled . Although he was also a Grand Elder, the other three were his seniors . Now they were actually shamelessly drinking someone else’s wine .
