Chapter 711
Tang Wan-er closely followed Long Chen while holding Meng Qi’s hand .
As a soul cultivator, Meng Qi’s constitution was extremely weak . But Tang Wan-er was like a fish in water here, and she helped Meng Qi block most of the pressure .
Seeing Long Chen rush forward, the Dragonblood warriors also quickened their steps . With Long Chen as the tip, they were like a huge arrow shooting through the sea .
The thirty-sixth supermonastery’s disciples all jumped in shock upon seeing this speed . To them, this powerful current might blow them away as soon as they were the slightest bit careless .
But Long Chen and the others went against the tide as quick as lightning, as if they didn’t feel any pressure at all .
Even the distant experts were shocked . The fact that Long Chen could go against the tide like this wasn’t surprising . After all, they knew he was powerful enough to fight against Zhao Wuji .
But other than Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, the others were just ordinary Xiantian disciples . How could they also be strong enough to resist such a powerful pressure?
This pressure was not just physical pressure . It was a comprehensive pressure composed of multiple facets . It included a pressure to their wills and also a kind of law . That was why they were so shocked .
“It seems monastery head Shui truly spared no effort to nurture her disciples . You’ve created such a powerful group,” said Zhou Tianyi .
He was irritated . His Zhou family had paid such a huge amount of resources to her . Now seeing the Dragonblood warriors’ display, he immediately connected it to that compensation he had paid .
Shui Wuhen smiled indifferently . “It’s all thanks to family head Zhou . If it weren’t for your selfless support, they probably wouldn’t be able to advance so quickly . ”
She sneered inside . How did this old fox become so stupid now? Hadn’t he just stuck out his face to be slapped?
“Haha, that’s fine . Any supermonastery’s disciple should get resources . It’s just that I’ve heard that these people have called themselves the Dragonblood Legion and only listen to Long Chen . After enjoying everything the Xuantian Dao Sect has given them, they actually want to form a private group and separate from the sect? Don't you think that’s going a bit too far?” Zhou Tianyi laughed, extremely pleased .
Shui Wuhen’s expression changed . Old foxes truly were wily; all of their words contained traps . He had intentionally brought up this matter in front of the vice sect master .
According to reason, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples all had to listen to the sect’s orders . It was not permitted to create private powers . Now Shui Wuhen had no reply .
But it was vice sect master who suddenly said, “I’ve previously said that the matters of the junior generation are things us old fellows shouldn’t interfere in . Zhou Tianyi, has your memory degenerated from old age?”
His expression was somewhat dark, and his tone was extremely discourteous . Zhou Tianyi was immediately stuck in a hard position, unable to reply .
“Private groups? Your Shui, Zhou, Qu, and Wang families all control nine supermonasteries . Don’t those count as private groups? Should I tell the sect master that you want me to disband your four families?” The vice sect master’s voice was icy .
“I…” Zhou Tianyi was dumbfounded . How was the vice sect master so rude to him today? This was clearly a slap in the face .
“I’ve never said anything about your four families’ open and hidden fights . Because of that, did you really think I’m an idiot and didn’t see any of it?
“Struggle is an important aspect of a sect’s development . Of course, it’s impossible to guarantee that all struggles will have a positive effect . So as long as your little fights didn’t affect the Xuantian Dao Sect’s development, no one was bored enough to say anything to you .
“But Zhou Tianyi, I’m sure you’re the most aware of what you’ve done . Although that matter has passed, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen . If you dare to try something like that again, I guarantee I will be the first to bring my blade down on your Zhou family, understood?” The vice sect master’s final words caused Zhou Tianyi to tremble .
He and the other family heads were shocked . They had always thought that their fights had remained hidden from the higher-ups .
However, it wasn’t that they didn’t know . In fact, they were probably even clearer about what was going on than them . The truth was that they simply couldn’t be bothered with them . But if they really ended up causing damage to the Xuantian Dao Sect, then the merciless butcher’s knife would immediately fall .
Shui Wuhen hadn’t expected that the vice sect master would defend her so much today . She couldn’t help sighing inside . If people wanted the authority to speak, then they truly did need power .
She knew that the vice sect master was looking after her because he had sensed the change in her . After all, he was a Foundation Forging expert .
This was the importance of power . Compared to someone in charge of nine supermonasteries, a Foundation Forging expert was even more important .
An administrator could be replaced with any somewhat powerful family . But a Foundation Forging expert was too hard to come by .
It was laughable how these people spent all day scheming against each other . Even when they were sleeping, they were pondering the best way to suppress their opponents .
They had forgotten their status . A martial cultivator had to focus on getting stronger . In front of absolute strength, any schemes were useless .
“How fast! Long Chen’s about to reach the red zone!” said one of the Shui family’s monastery heads .
Everyone looked over . While they had been talking, Long Chen had already led his people to the border of the red zone .
By now, there were quite a few outstanding disciples who had managed to enter the blue zone . But currently, only Celestials had managed to enter the red zone .
No matter how outstanding the disciple, no matter how great their talent, no matter how high their cultivation base, all the non-Celestials were stuck outside the red zone .
Some unconvinced people had tried charging in, but as a result, they had been sent flying by the terrifying tide . They had been like shooting stars and directly blown to the furthest edge of the sea . They hadn’t even been able to stop midway, and had been injured .
Even in the blue zone, the tide grew stronger as you advanced . At the border of the red zone, the pressure of the tide was tens of times greater than where they had entered the blue zone .
Even the powerful Dragonblood warriors were somewhat unable to endure it . They felt like their bones were about to be crushed .
“Stay here . I’ll test it . ” Long Chen took the final step into the red zone .
As soon as he did, a terrifying pressure caused his foot to sink . He felt like he was pressing into a spring, and that spring was about to shoot him back .
Furthermore, a powerful force descended from above . It was like a mountain had smashed into him .
“Hmph . ” Long Chen snorted and his spiritual yuan circulated, resisting these two different forces . He immediately felt much more relaxed .
These forces were too strange . Most likely, the people who had tried barging in hadn’t even understood what was happening before being blown back . Only Celestials could rely on the energy of their Heavenly Dao runes to resist the first impact .
Long Chen looked forward and saw twenty-seven Celestials . They were only a few miles ahead .
They had long since entered the deeper part of the red zone where the pressure had grown to a terrifying point . However, they found out that the greater the pressure, the greater the benefits would be . Whether it was the tempering of their physical bodies, the comprehension of their elemental attributes, or the increase in their realms, the effect would multiply .
So everyone was doing their best to charge as deep into the sea as possible . At the front of these Celestials, Long Chen saw four figures .
Those were the so-called Four Heavenly Geniuses . Currently, they had already reached the border of the core violet zone where a huge whirlpool could be seen . The four of them had all paused at the border . Most likely, they felt the pressure was too great, and it would be too difficult to enter without adjusting themselves first .
Long Chen returned to the blue zone . He said, “When you enter the red zone, you will encounter two different kinds of forces . The pressure will multiply by around fifteen to seventeen times . ”
The Dragonblood warriors’ expressions all changed . They already felt that the pressure here was their limit . If it immediately increased by over ten times, wouldn’t they be crushed flat?
“Don’t worry, you won’t die . But once you enter, you’ll probably be sent into a half-dead state .
“However, it’ll all be worth it . The bitterness you suffer now is so you can survive on the battlefields in the future . It’s so you can protect the things in your heart .
“I could directly pull you in with my power, but I won’t do that . You’ll have to enter on your own . This isn’t just a competition of force, but a competition against your own will .
“I could help you once, but I won’t be able to help you for a lifetime . You’ll have to rely on yourselves . So brothers, think about your motivation . On the battlefield, if you see your brothers die to the enemies’ merciless blades, will you feel regret? Regret that you weren’t strong enough?
“If you would, then don’t hesitate now . Grab hold of this chance to carve out all your potential and advance into the red zone!” said Long Chen .
The Dragonblood warriors looked at each other . A heaven-shaking battle intent soared out of them .
They were people who had slaughtered out a path of blood with Long Chen . In the first Righteous and Corrupt battle they had experienced, many of those brothers that had eaten, drunk, and laughed with them had fallen one by one . Some had died right beside them while they had been powerless to save them . When they thought back about it now, it felt like it had only happened yesterday .
So just a few words from Long Chen immediately brought out all their thirst . They thirsted for power! Only with power could they protect the things most important to them!
Gu Yang was the first to charge into the red zone . He had only just entered when he let out a furious roar and his ancestral mark lit upon his forehead . His fierce aura erupted .
“He wasn’t blown back!”
The distant spectators all let out a startled cry .
