The Mad Demon Palace had more than a thousand Palace Masters, Vice Palace Masters, Hall Masters, Elders, and disciples participating in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Tournament. At this moment, these thousand people were all above the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm. They floated in front of Long Chen and the others. The aura of a thousand people gathered together and immediately created a huge pressure on Long Chen and the others.
This pressure made Shentu Hong and the others pale. They retreated one after another. They could only use their Divine Origin to resist. After all, the combined aura of so many people could even frighten a martial artist at the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
Especially when there were a few martial artists at the ninth level of the Divine Martial Realm. Among them was the Mad Demon Palace Master.
In the Mad Demon Palace, those who could become Palace Masters were the top of the three thousand palaces. They were like the Divine Palace Master Lu Chunqiu. When he looked at Long Chen with a threatening gaze, what surprised him was that Long Chen's eyes were calm and his expression was unexpectedly calm.
Their pressure was useless against Long Chen. Long Chen already had half of the Ancestral Dragon Body. Why would he be afraid of them?
Long Chen was certain of one fact. Since they had come to question him, they were definitely not certain. The other party did not have any evidence for this kind of thing. He just had to deny it even if he was beaten to death.
So he said, "You must be the Mad Demon Palace Master. Could it be that Li Cang is missing? But even so, you can't wrongly accuse someone just because you are anxious. Who is Li Cang? He is one of the five great geniuses. If I, Long Chen, can kill him, wouldn't my Evil Dragon Palace be stronger than your Mad Demon Palace? So don't joke in front of me."
Long Chen also had the identity of the Evil Dragon Palace Master. Although in the three thousand palaces, the Palace Masters were also divided into ranks, Long Chen did not have such a rank in his heart. He stood on the same level as the Mad Demon Palace Master.
After squinting at Long Chen for a while, the Mad Demon Palace Master said, "You entered the Supreme Trial Tower for a period of time. Li Cang also entered, but he still hasn't come out. I just visited the Wind Divine Palace's Feng Zhilin, hehe …"
Lin of the Wind.
Long Chen was shocked at first, but he reacted quickly and said in a cold voice, "What can this prove? As for Feng Zhilin, she hates me so much that she can say anything. It doesn't count. Let me be honest, if you have any evidence, you can go to the Mad Demon Palace and sue me. If you don't, there is no need to threaten me here. Aren't there countless peerless martial geniuses in the Mad Demon Palace? Then, let's meet in the Hidden Dragon Rank battles.
Long Chen waved his hand and gestured for him to go ahead.
His arrogant appearance, as well as his words that directly stabbed into the heart of the Mad Demon Palace Leader, caused everyone to be enraged. That's right, the Mad Demon Palace Leader didn't have any evidence, otherwise, he would have directly killed someone. Furthermore, with Long Chen's two great backers, even Lu Chunqiu had suffered a loss, how could he dare to act recklessly?
However, his intuition told him that Li Cang's disappearance was definitely related to Long Chen.
"Impudent! How dare you speak to the Mad Demon Palace Master in such a manner!"
"Quickly kneel down and admit your mistakes."
After the Mad Demon Palace Leader, a group of old people cursed with ashen expressions.
In their opinion, what status could the Evil Dragon Palace have?
However, the Mad Demon Palace Leader narrowed his eyes.
"Meet in the Hidden Dragon Rank battles?"
The Mad Demon Palace Leader knew that Long Chen was issuing a challenge. With his strength alone, he was practically challenging all the disciples of the Mad Demon Palace.
"Brat, my Mad Demon Palace does not only have one Li Cang. Since you said to meet in the Mad Demon Palace, then let's meet there." The Mad Demon Palace Leader knew that it would be difficult to gain any advantage from Long Chen today.
At this moment, Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing appeared beside Long Chen.
Nangong Lie raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, "Mad Demon Palace Leader, do you want me, Nangong Lie, to chase you away?"
Seeing Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing's impolite appearance, their position in the Martial God Palace was much higher than his. It was not a good idea to clash with them.
The Mad Demon Palace Leader snorted coldly and said, "I can't touch you today, nor do I have any evidence. Tomorrow is the Hidden Dragon Rank battles. You'd better survive in the War Hounds Realm …"
With that said, he led the Mad Demon Palace's disciples and Elders away from the place.
Many of the smaller palaces of the same level as the Evil Dragon Palace had seen what happened. It was clear that Li Cang's disappearance had a lot to do with Long Chen. However, the Mad Demon Palace Leader could do nothing but threaten him. Such a situation was enough to shock them.
The Evil Dragon Palace was on the same level, but because of Long Chen, they were ten thousand times more powerful than them. They already regretted not fawning on Long Chen back then. Not to mention the future, such a person was already a proud son of heaven now.
The Mad Demon Palace retreated in fright.
This matter quickly spread throughout the Hidden Dragon Platform. Everyone was in awe when they heard this news. The news of Long Chen being the fastest in the Heavenly Street and defeating Lu Junyue, Ji Liuyun, and the other geniuses, even slapping them in the face had already spread.
Such a person caused everyone to silently add Long Chen's name to the top eight.
They were sincerely convinced.
This Hidden Dragon Rank battles would definitely be exceptionally exciting.
The next morning, Long Chen and the others were qualified to approach the center of the Hidden Dragon Platform.
The center of the Hidden Dragon Platform was a man-made basin. At the very center was the place where the battles would take place. It was also the entrance to the War Hounds World. There were many seats in the surroundings, enough for a hundred thousand people to watch the battles at the same time. The three thousand palaces were arranged according to the rankings, with the Evil Dragon Palace in the center.
Under the arrangement of the Punishment Hall's Enforcement Elder, everyone had to take their respective seats. It was incomparably bustling. Nearly thirty thousand people entered at the same time. Many famous people suddenly appeared, causing the crowd to scream. Long Chen was a rising figure among the three thousand palaces. Compared to the upper echelons of the various palaces, he did not have a high position.
Under the management of the Enforcement Elder, the thirty thousand people quickly took their seats. Because the Evil Dragon Palace was too small, there were only ten seats. On the other hand, palaces like the Mad Demon Palace had over a thousand seats.
There were even some palaces that did not have seats.
Long Chen calmly sat in his seat. At least a thousand people were looking at him. Among them, there were a few hot gazes, but Long Chen ignored them. He knew that it was Feng Zhilin, Lu Junyue, and the people from the Mad Demon Palace who hated him. The Mad Demon Palace was one of the five palaces. Although it was the weakest, Li Cang was not the only genius among them. There were more than ten people who had reached the peak of the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm. It was just that when they used the Mad Demon Heart Sutra, they were not as strong as Li Cang.
This time, no less than eight hundred disciples of the Mad Demon Palace were participating in the competition. All of them were at least at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm. After what had happened last night, they had two goals. One was to have at least fifteen people obtain the Mixed Sky Demon Dog's fangs and enter the top one hundred and tenth place. The other goal was to kill Long Chen in the War Hounds World.
These two goals were within the scope of the Mad Demon Palace.
This made Shentu Hong a little worried. He said, "Palace Master, the disciples of the Mad Demon Palace all think that you killed Li Cang. They hate you to the bone. You must be careful in the War Hounds World."
Long Chen smiled indifferently and said, "It's fine. I won't kill too many people. I don't want to get the title of a murderous demon king. Killing a hundred is enough."
Shentu Hong was speechless.
Today's Long Chen was not someone he could guess.
Ye Zheng and the others were still excited. They believed that Long Chen would be able to represent the Evil Dragon Palace and shine in front of the upper echelons of the three thousand palaces. He would make the name of the Evil Dragon Palace spread far and wide.
"Quiet."
Under the command of the Enforcement Elder, the noisy scene immediately quieted down. Thirty thousand people were silent. Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Among them, a Law Enforcement Elder at the peak of the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm was floating in the air. He was the one who had just spoken. At that moment, he was extremely excited. He turned around and said in a loud and clear voice, "The biggest event of our Three Thousand Palace, the Hidden Dragon Ranking battle that is held once every five hundred years, is about to begin. The Hidden Dragon Ranking hasn't changed for five hundred years. Today, whose name will be engraved into the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"
When he spoke up to here, he roared brightly with laughter and said, "Then let us wait and see. But before that, we have to welcome the heavyweights of the Hidden Dragon Rankings this time. Firstly, it's the four Supreme Elders from the Punishment Hall. They're the witnesses, supervisors, and evaluators of the Hidden Dragon Rankings this time, and they possess supreme authority."
As the sound of his voice faded, the sky trembled as four silhouettes sped over and floated in the air. They were four white-haired old men, each of them exuding powerful energy fluctuations. These four people were practically the ultimate strength of the 3,000 palaces. Three men and one woman, they were none other than the four Supreme Elders of the Punishment Palace. They were people that everyone in the 3,000 palaces revered and revered.
Long Chen noticed that at the very top of the Hidden Dragon Battlefield, there was a very large area with only nine incomparably huge platinum seats. There were six on the left and three on the right. At this moment, the four supreme elders were sitting on the six seats on the left and right respectively. They were sitting on the four seats on the left and right side of the seats, while the two seats in the middle were empty.
There were a total of six Supreme Elders. In other words, the first Supreme Elder and the second Supreme Elder were not here today.
It was normal for this ultimate figure, the legendary Nirvana Tribulation Realm martial artist, to not be present. However, who were the three seats on the right side of the hall?
Soon, the answer was revealed.
This was the moment when everyone was cheering.
