DBWG Chapter 158 (2/2)

However, how could Chu Tianxiong take this embarra.s.sment of being teased by an ant?

He glared at Long Chen icily, lips moving slightly as he spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice.

“Everyone, I’m afraid I’ll let loose today. I hope that, on account of our acquaintance all these years, as well as our statuses as leaders of the outer faction, you can speak well of I, Chu Tianxiong, to Lord Xuanxiao.”

Everyone could tell Chu Tianxiong’s underlying intent of killing Long Chen.

It was no surprise. If any grand elder were to be shamed in such a manner by a little child, they would probably kill Long Chen as well, not to mention Chu Tianxiong, who had always possessed a strange temperament.

“This guy is rather talented, but he’s an airhead.”

“If he could endure for a while longer, he could even become the pillar of the outer faction. What a pity.”

Two of the grand elders exchanged a glance and sighed while shaking their heads. Hearing Chu Tianxiong wanted to do this personally, Chu Yunxi and Chu Yunyao’s anger dissipated, transforming into excitement and satisfaction. Smirking at Long Chen, Chu Yunyao spoke, “After obtaining the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the inner faction selection, you don’t know your limits and even dare offend my third grandfather. You deserve to be killed!”

Just as she spoke, Chu Tianxiong glared coldly, and an ell-encompa.s.sing pressure pressed on Long Chen. In that moment, he felt as if the sky itself was falling.

“This old guy is really powerful. With this level, he can beat me into minced meat with just a casual punch!”

At this thought, Long Chen was rather depressed. As expected of the perfect mastery stage of the Heaven Dan Realm, considered to be the top experts in Yuanling City. Long Chen facing up to Chu Tianxiong was like how he had been with his grandfather of the Yang family while he was at the fourth dragon vein. This disparity here was even larger.

“It’s about time those inner faction people arrive.”

Long Chen was relaxed.

Previously, Lingxi had told Long Chen that in the depths of the discussion hall, two people were walking in slowly. One had an aura comparable to the grand elders, and might be even stronger. He was definitely of the inner faction, and was the host who would be in charge of this inner faction selection.

With the host around, would Long Chen be killed?

Even the grand elders could do little against the inner faction, which was why just as Chu Tianxiong was about to make his move and impose a life-threatening pressure on Long Chen, a low, hoa.r.s.e and charming voice was sounded from the depths of the hall, “Chu Tianxiong, stop.”

Chu Tianxiong’s expression immediately changed after hearing this. He obediently withdrew his hand and, without looking at Long Chen, turned to the other side.

Now, everyone’s eyes were focused on the depths of the discussion hall and standing up respectfully, including all the grand elders.

Long Chen had just walked out from the brink of death and was still slightly afraid. Liu Yuan and Liu Lan had complicated expressions, but just when they were about to ask why Long Chen was acting this way, they could only stand respectfully at the thought of this person’s ident.i.ty.

Under the audience’s gazes, two walked out. One looked imposing, handsome and emanating a threatening aura. This was Dongfang Tianyu, who Long Chen had met at the Sky Martial Realm.

Dongfang Tianyu was evidently here to cheer for others. THe other person was the main host.

Long Chen narrowed his eyes. This was a man in his thirties, with a fair face with no facial hair. He looked slender, his hair like a waterfall as it draped over his shoulders, all the way to his waist. He wore a white, loose robe, eyes unfathomable and profound, and people could easily get lost in his eyes with a single look.

“This guy is pretty handsome…”

Seeing someone even more good looking than himself, Long Chen was speechless. He usually did not praise others this way, but if he ever did, then the other party must be incomparably handsome.

Mo Xiaolang was handsome too, but seemed to tender.

Even the grand elders had to lower their heads in front of this man, cupping their fists deferentially, “We greet Lord Xuanxiao!”

Xuanxiao?

The Eastern Green Dragons should be in charge of this selection. Dongfang Tianyu was part of the Dongfang clan, and if Long Chen was right, this man’s name should be Dongfang Xuanxiao.

Honestly speaking, even these grand elders and Jin Sheng’en’s father did not give Long Chen this feeling. This man did not have the aura of the strong and seemed rather dull, but that was what made him terrifying and difficult to get close to.

“Alright, take a seat.”

Dongfang Xuanxiao’s expression did not change as he waved his arms. With his instructions, everyone sat obediently, and even Chu Tianxiong was the same. After the arrival of Dongfang Xuanxiao, he seemed to have forgotten about Long Chen, and it was proof of how capable Dongfang Xuanxiao was.

“This Dongfang Xuanxiao seems awesome.”

Long Chen sighed ruefully as he quickly took a seat.

Usually, with the conflict between him and Chu Tianxiong, the other party would take a look at Long Chen, even if it was all a farce. However, his eyes were only forward, and he did not look at anyone.

After everyone was seated, they began to wait for Dongfang Xuanxiao’s directions.

“All disciples of the inner faction selection are to come out. Team up in pairs. I’ll hand the jade bracelets and firework signals to you.”
