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 bastards, 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 passed 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 mass of primal chaos, his future is a mass 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 relationships,” 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 .

“Little sixth, even at such an age, you’re so inflexible . Why be such a worry-wart? That Long Chen is fundamentally not an existence that should exist in this world . Who could guarantee anything about his fate? Don’t bother yourself with trying, and come drink . When we have time, we should go drink some more at that old wine ghost’s place,” said another Grand Elder impatiently . He actually called Qu Jianying’s granduncle-master as little sixth .

“Your third uncle is correct . People about to die should fulfill their duty instead of being meddlesome . With the great era here, the world is about to completely change . As to whether it ends in destruction or rebirth, it’s up to fate . Whether or not we gave that treasure wouldn’t change things . Let’s hurry up and drink some wine,” said another Grand Elder .

“That’s good too . Jianying, you can leave . As for that treasure, let us think on it first,” said Qu Jianying granduncle-master .

“Yes . Disciple will take her leave . ” Qu Jianying left with the five elders who were still terrified . They finally realized that four of the people they called brothers had actually had their loyalties bought .

“Alliance head, we…”

Upon returning to the Martial Heaven Palace, the five of them immediately knelt on the ground . They knew that they had made a huge mistake . They had been encouraged by others to go against her, causing them to awaken the Grand Elders .

Although the four of them had been slain, the five of them still had responsibility for this matter . They were completely ashamed inside and were waiting for Qu Jianying to give them their punishment .

Qu Jianying waved her hand . “Even I was fooled, so what qualifications do I have to punish you? Go and do what you’re supposed to be doing . Speaking of which, send two people to keep an eye on Long Chen . Don’t let him cause a disaster . ”

“Many thanks!”

The five of them were incredibly grateful to Qu Jianying while also hating themselves for their foolishness . How could someone as noble as Qu Jianying really help a cheater? They were filled with shame and guilt .

However, due to their shame and guilt, they ended up forgetting about Qu Jianying’s final instruction . Due to that tiny slip up, later… a huge matter erupted .

Long Chen knew that the Grand Elders wanted him to go, as some words weren’t suitable for him to hear .

However, he would definitely not have expected that as soon as he left, four of the core Elders would be slain .

Returning to the plaza, Long Chen saw that the majority of the disciples had yet to scatter . Seeing him return, they immediately surrounded him .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, since this is your first time coming to the Central Xuan Region, I’ll be your guide,” said a sweet but brazen woman .

“Wow! How could I refuse the company of such a beauty?” Long Chen smiled .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, you’re lying . Each of those beautiful women of yours is a peerless fairy whose beauty is unmatched . ” That woman laughed . Although she wasn’t a beauty who could topple a nation, she was still very beautiful . Two small dimples appeared on her face whenever she smiled, which made her look very cute .

Long Chen laughed, “Dreams are good to have because what if you manage to pull one off? You might not be that beautiful now, but I trust with your talent and willpower, you will sooner or later become a peerless beauty . ”

“Liar, looks are innate . How could they be changed with effort?” That maiden laughed, knowing that Long Chen was teasing her .

In their view, Long Chen was completely different from other so-called peerless experts . Other experts would have to make it known that they were peerless experts as if they were afraid others wouldn’t know . They always had to make a ruckus wherever they went, acting arrogant and coldly to others . But Long Chen hadn’t put on any arrogant airs like them . He had even explained his Dao and shown his skills to them .

“Qingqing, you accompany senior apprentice-brother Long Chen . Everyone else, don’t cause any trouble . Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen likes to be low-key, so he won’t like it if all of you go with him . ” Meng Fei also returned upon seeing Long Chen and gave orders to the disciples that were surging toward Long Chen .

Those disciples were all disappointed, but they obediently followed the third commander’s instructions . If tens of thousands of people were to stroll around with Long Chen, that would really be exaggerated .

Long Chen could only say, “If it would make everyone happy, we can stroll around together . There’s nothing inconvenient about it . I’m sure the third commander is even more familiar with this place, so we can go together . ”

“No, I won’t be going . I don’t like going out that much . Qingqing was born here in Clearwind City, and she also grew up here . She’s more familiar with this place than anyone else, or she wouldn’t have asked you . ” The third commander shook his head . He didn’t like the way he looked, and he didn’t like the strange looks he got when he went out . With his temper, he knew he might start a fight with just that .

Long Chen also saw that, so he said goodbye to everyone else as he left with Qingqing .
