"Dream Returning Immortal Grass."
Long Chen swore that he had never heard of this thing before. He was stunned for a moment.
However, he noticed Lu Jin and Li Chong's proud expressions. After some thought, he realized that this was what Ji Liuai had used to deal with him.
Looking at the hatred in the Xuan Ming Palace Master's eyes, it must have been the so-called Dream Returning Immortal Grass that nearly destroyed Ji Liuai. In such a situation, Long Chen needed to remain calm.
"I wonder what the Dream Returning Immortal Grass that you speak of is?" Xiao Chen already knew, but he could not pretend that he did.
At this moment, the change startled many people. Many of the Law Enforcement Elders had already surrounded the Xuan Ming Palace Master. With the Second Supreme Elder present, everyone had to give him face. Yet, the Xuan Ming Palace Master made such a scene. This was simply irrational.
The Punishment Hall's people were somewhat angry as well.
There were even more people who were watching the show.
The Xuan Ming Palace Master became even more furious. If not for the fact that he could not do anything to Long Chen in public, he would have torn Long Chen into a thousand pieces.
He clenched his teeth and stared at Long Chen with sinister eyes. He said, "In your fight with my disciple, Ji Liuai, you were indeed stronger. However, you used the Dream Returning Immortal Grass to deal with him, destroying his thousand-year cultivation and even ending his lifespan. Your actions are simply too despicable. To use such a medicine in the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you have already broken the Punishment Hall's rules."
Hearing the Xuan Ming Palace Master's words, many people who knew what the Dream Returning Immortal Grass were shocked. They looked at Long Chen in disbelief. At first, everyone thought that Long Chen was righteous. Could this fellow be like Lu Junyue, a despicable person who would do anything to achieve his goals?
To think that he used the Dream Returning Immortal Grass to destroy someone else's life. This was truly ruthless.
"What deep hatred does Long Chen have with Ji Liuai? The three thousand palaces should not have the Dream Returning Immortal Grass, right?"
"However, the Martial God Palace does. Do you remember that the Evil Dragon Palace's Palace Master has a very good relationship with the Martial Addict and Wine Addict? The Dream Immortal Grass must have been given to him by these two."
"I never thought that this Evil Dragon Palace Leader would also be such a despicable person. You really don't know a person's face. I thought he was a hero in the past, sigh …"
"Lu Junyue was imprisoned by the Extreme Violet Heavenly Fire Array for ten years. In my opinion, this Long Chen should also be imprisoned for ten years and let him reflect on himself."
If the Blood Refinement Sutra was a forbidden Battle Skill, then the Immortal Dream Grass was even more forbidden.
Everyone looked at Long Chen with scrutinizing gazes. Their questioning gazes made Long Chen very uncomfortable.
Long Chen knew what was going on. He could not allow others to slander him.
"Supreme Elders, yesterday, Lu Junyue made two mistakes and has already decided to imprison him in the Extreme Violet Heavenly Fire Array for ten years. As for Long Chen, his actions are clearly even more vicious than Lu Junyue's. He actually used such a sinister thing like the Dream Returning Immortal Grass in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Battle. In my opinion, if he was not imprisoned in the Extreme Violet Heavenly Fire Array for ten years, how would he be able to convince everyone?"
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Nether Palace said in a clear voice. His voice was like a surging tide, shaking everyone's eardrums.
As he spoke, he looked at Long Chen with a gloomy gaze. Since he could not kill Long Chen on the spot, he would give Long Chen a torture that was even worse than death.
Everyone looked at the Second Supreme Elder. At this moment, only he could make a decision. If the situation was true, Long Chen's situation was similar to Lu Junyue's yesterday.
Long Chen knew that if he did not defend himself now, he would not have another chance. He raised his head and said to the Palace Master of the Mysterious Nether Palace, "Looks like there is something I have to make clear."
His spearhead instantly pointed at those two, Lu Jin and Li Chong. Long Chen laughed heartily and said, "Let me tell everyone a story. This is the true story. A few nights before I fought Ji Liuhua, two esteemed guests came to the Evil Dragon Palace."
Long Chen recounted the events of that night.
When he mentioned the ordinary bottle, everyone noticed it.
They all looked at Lu Jin and Li Chong with strange gazes. Lu Jin and Li Chong could not remain calm when so many people looked at them suspiciously.
At this moment, Long Chen continued to recount how he used the Rakshasa Profound Yin Hand against Ji Liuhua, how he broke the bottle, and how the black liquid appeared.
"I don't even know what that black liquid is. If I hadn't discovered it in time and counterattacked, that black liquid would have drilled into my body. May I ask everyone, am I, Long Chen, guilty?"
If what he said was true, then he was indeed innocent. The ones who were guilty were Ji Liuhua and Lu Jin and Li Chong, who gave him the Dream Returning Immortal Grass.
However, these two were supervisors from the Martial God Palace …
What was going on?
Everyone began to panic.
Until now, Long Chen still did not know what use the Dream Returning Immortal Grass had. When the Scarlet Firmament Palace Master told him about it, he could not help but be flabbergasted. He did not expect that one drop of liquid to have an even more horrifying effect than the Blood Refinement Sutra.
The Mysterious Nether Palace Master looked at Long Chen with an uncertain expression. Previously, he had pushed all the blame onto Long Chen. When Long Chen told him the truth, he already knew the truth. That night, Lu Jin and Li Chong came to look for Ji Liuhua. After that, Ji Liuhua became very agitated. From this, he could infer that what Long Chen said was definitely true.
Lu Jin and Li Chong had a lot of responsibility for his favorite disciple becoming like this.
However, in the Mysterious Nether Palace Master's heart, no matter what, Long Chen was the true culprit. If not for Long Chen, Ji Liuhua would not have ended up like this.
The Mysterious Nether Palace Master hated these three people.
Everyone looked at the Second Supreme Elder to see what the Second Supreme Elder would decide. Obviously, if what he said was true, the two from the Martial God Palace could not be touched. If they were implicated, this matter would undoubtedly become complicated.
Some people believed Long Chen's words, while others did not.
At this moment, the Second Supreme Elder spoke.
"Today's matter never happened. Everyone, go back to what you were doing. If you continue to pursue this matter, I will not be polite anymore."
This hoarse voice rang in everyone's ears. It was like a small knife scratching their faces. That feeling was very uncomfortable.
Hearing this, everyone was even more confused. What was going on?
The Mysterious Nether Palace Master's face was gloomy. In the end, the Second Supreme Elder did not put Long Chen on trial. This made him very unhappy. He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Lu Jin and Li Chong looked at each other. Their expressions were not very good.
Only then did this unforeseen event end.
That night, Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie arrived. Long Chen told them what happened in the past few days. Nangong Lie was furious and said, "This bunch of grandsons! This old man only returned to the Martial God Palace for a few days, and they actually caused such a commotion. Those old dogs of the Lu Clan even dared to touch this old man's nephew. They are really tired of living."
The usually silent Han Yunxing revealed a murderous look on his face. He nodded and said, "It looks like it is time to teach them a lesson. From tomorrow onwards, we will accompany you."
With these two around, Long Chen did not have to worry about anything.
"That Lu Junyue said that he wants to deal with you on the last day." Han Yunxing suddenly mentioned this problem.
Long Chen nodded.
"With his personality, it is impossible for him to wait until the last day. Furthermore, he injured Yan Qingchen on the first day to take you down. I think those old dogs of the Lu Clan must have given him something to familiarize him with so that he can kill you on the last day. They are people who are willing to break the rules to achieve their goals," Han Yunxing said in a deep voice.
Nangong Lie laughed angrily and said, "It is obvious that the most famous thing in the Heavenly God Palace is not the Tribulation Treasure, the Golden Elephant Seal of the Nine Spirit. Lu Chunqiu probably wants his son to learn it so that he can kill Xiao Chen immediately. After all, the strength that Xiao Chen displayed when he fought Ji Liuai scared him."
"What is the Golden Elephant Seal of the Nine Spirit?" asked Long Chen.
Han Yunxing said, "When we reach the Retribution Realm, a lot of things have to change. When we reach the Retribution Realm, everyone's Nirvana Power is different. It has a strict personal imprint, just like everyone's blood. It's different. In this world, there are some items that surpass the God Tier, such as combat skills and elixirs, which are treasures of the Retribution Realm. When you reach the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, other than ordinary weapons, if you are lucky, you can also obtain all kinds of magic treasures. Sometimes, the power of magic treasures is more terrifying than weapons. Weapons and magic treasures need to be refined before they can be used. Refining means using your own Nirvana Power to refine them. Speaking of which, you seem to have a trace of Nirvana Power, so you can almost refine some magic treasures and weapons that are close to it."
Long Chen did not expect the Tribulation Realm to be so mystical.
"The Golden Elephant Seal of the Nine Spirit is not a heaven-defying Dharma treasure. It is nothing in the Martial God Palace, but in the Three Thousand Palaces, it is one of the top treasures. Your Uncle Han and I do not have any amazing Dharma treasures to give you. If you are strong enough, you can snatch the Golden Elephant Seal of the Nine Spirit and play with it. They have underestimated your combat prowess. In any case, we are very confident in you," said Nangong Lie as he patted Long Chen's shoulder.
Long Chen smiled as well.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how the Lu Clan and the others schemed against him, it would all be for naught. If they were to violate the rules and take out the Nine Spirit Golden Elephant Seal, Long Chen would have to accept it. There was no way Long Chen would return it.
From the third day onwards, with the Martial Fanatic and Drunkard around, the Lu Clan did not dare to be too arrogant. Feng Zhilin did not do anything, but based on her expression, it seemed like she was struggling.
She and Long Chen never spoke to each other again.
