Chapter 1794: The Priceless Treasure Reward
That voice was from one of the Grand Elders, Yan Nantian . Long Chen’s expression changed . He hadn’t expected the Grand Elder to be eavesdropping on their conversation .
“Sorry, Grand Elder! I was the one who forgot!” Ye Lingshan suddenly clapped her own head .
Yan Nantian did not reply .
“Long Chen, let’s go!” Ye Lingshan pulled Long Chen away .
“What are we doing?” asked Long Chen .
“I ended up drawn in by your nonsense . I forgot that the Grand Elders wanted me to bring you to the palace . They said there was something important to discuss . ”
“Hey, why didn’t you say so earlier?! Aren’t those old fellows going to beat me to death now?” Long Chen was about to run .
“They won’t, the alliance head won’t let them punish you,” said Ye Lingshan . Afraid that he would really run, she forcibly dragged him away .
“If you end up conning me to death, I swear my ghost won’t let you off!” shouted Long Chen .
The two of them walked into the palace . The only ones inside were the four Grand Elders and Qu Jianying . They had already been waiting for a while .
“Greetings alliance head, greetings Grand Elders . ” Ye Lingshan immediately bowed . Long Chen followed suit .
“You little brat, you’re becoming more and more brazen . Do you know how to respect your seniors?” Qu Jianying immediately reached for Long Chen’s ear .
Long Chen had long since been prepared and pulled Ye Lingshan in front of him, shouting, “Your beloved apprentice is in my hands!”
Seeing Long Chen actually take a hostage to extort her, Qu Jianying almost laughed . This little fellow was always so slippery .
“Jianying, that’s enough . Calling us old is just the truth . Long Chen wasn’t wrong . ” Yan Nantian smiled calmly, not minding Long Chen’s joke .
Only then did Qu Jianying let Long Chen off . Ye Lingshan glared at Long Chen for using her as a s.h.i.+eld . Although she knew it was a joke, she wasn’t happy .
The four Grand Elders stood there, looking at Long Chen . That continued for an incense stick’s worth of time, and Long Chen was starting to get gooseb.u.mps .
“There’s no need to frighten me . I’ll kill and extort whoever you want, free of charge!” Long Chen finally spoke .
The four Grand Elders couldn’t help but smile . Yan Nantian finally said, “Your mind is powerful . Even in this position, you don’t show any flaws . It was definitely not a coincidence that you were able to slay Xiang Yunfei . ”
“Are you praising me for having thick skin?” Long Chen smiled .
“Having thick skin is also a mental quality . Long Chen, I have one thing to ask you . If Jianying had decided to concede again, you said you would leave the Martial Heaven Alliance . What would you do after that?” asked Yan Nantian .
On that day, Long Chen had said that if Qu Jianying allowed the first and second commanders’ deaths to go unpunished and let go of Di Xin, he would kill Di Xin and then leave the Martial Heaven Alliance, severing his ties with them to place all the blame on himself .
When he had said that, everyone had been shocked . They had fully experienced Long Chen’s domineering side . If he left the Martial Heaven Alliance, he would definitely die . But this also showed his determination . Wasn’t the worst case just death? There was nothing to be afraid of .
“What else would I do? I would kill . In any case, I killed my way out of the Eastern Wasteland . I was on my own at first, a little fellow in just the Blood Condensation realm, but I dared to face the armies of two nations . Now I’m no longer alone . I have a group of beauties, as well as a group of hot-blooded brothers . I don’t even know how many times stronger I am compared to back then . Am I supposed to become timid and retreat? If the alliance head wished to protect the continent’s peace in consideration of the big picture by enduring this bullying, that would be my only option . ”
“Have you considered the lives of those beauties and brothers of yours? When you are hunted down by all the various large powers, you’ll all die to their hands eventually,” said one of the Grand Elders .
“There’s no need to worry about it . The Dragonblood Legion’s hearts are united . Their lives are mine, my life is theirs . What we have, we risked our lives for, and we will continue to work hard so that we can protect our family, so that we can live with dignity . This is our conviction . When others threaten our family or try to trample on our dignity, we won’t hesitate to put everything on the line . Even if we die, we won’t die humiliated . ”
“This gamble is quite big . ”
One of the Grand Elders finally spoke . This Grand Elder had barely spoken at all before .
Once he spoke, the other Grand Elders fell silent . It seemed they were secretly communicating . The atmosphere grew a bit tense .
“Alright, let’s bet . Opportunity exists within danger . Who can say what will come in the future? The Barbarian Mammoth race was able to bet everything, so why can’t our Martial Heaven Alliance do the same? The great era has already come . If we still held back, what would we be waiting for? I approve of this gamble,” said one of the Grand Elders .
