Of course, Long Chen was only suppressing their prestige.
Xiao Chen was someone who knew his limits. When the other party came to bully him, his retaliation had already caused the deaths of Lu Junyue and the Heavenly God Palace's Hall Master's woman. Then, he humiliated the Heavenly God Palace's Punishment Hall and even offended the Second Supreme Elder, causing the Second Supreme Elder to fall into a state of madness and humiliation. Xiao Chen had already done enough.
There was no point in continuing to force them.
Long Chen's initial purpose was to enter the Martial God Palace. Later, when Lu Junyue caused trouble, he only wanted to teach him a lesson. Now that he had accomplished his purpose, he was not interested in the three thousand palaces, which was a huge mess.
Before the shocked gazes of the crowd, Long Chen suddenly smiled. Long Chen tossed the two Lu Clan experts in his hands to the ground like they were trash, kicking up a cloud of dust. The two Lu Clan experts vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with pale complexions.
"Alright, this is enough for today. I was just joking with you. I have another battle tomorrow, so I won't be accompanying you."
Long Chen stretched lazily like nothing had happened.
However, everyone felt helpless. Things had already reached this point. Was there any meaning to tomorrow's battle?
Clearly not.
This Hidden Dragon Ranking battle could be considered over today. Or rather, it could be said that they had failed.
The supervisor of the Martial God Palace did not seem to be of any use.
For Long Chen to bully the Second Supreme Elder to such an extent was already a ruthless slap in the face. How could the Second Supreme Elder accept this? At this moment, seeing the two Lu Clan experts severely injured, the Second Supreme Elder's face sank. He said, "After flaunting your prowess, you think you can leave just like that?"
"What else can I do? You can try and see if you have the ability to stop me."
Long Chen said proudly.
In everyone's hearts, he was already on the same level as the Second Supreme Elder.
"Hmph."
The second supreme elder didn't say anything and suddenly attacked. Long Chen smiled as he received the attack. The two of them instantly became indistinguishable. All that could be seen was that because of their battle, everything was collapsing and riddled with holes. Long Chen intentionally directed the battle towards the direction of the Heavenly Deity Palace. His casual attack could cause a large number of casualties in the Heavenly Deity Palace.
The people of the Punishment Hall had also suffered disastrous casualties.
"Haha, let's continue fighting. Let's see if you can injure me first, or if your Punishment Hall's people will all die first. I think you should consider this carefully." Long Chen laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the entire Imperial Planet.
The Second Supreme Elder was about to go crazy.
At this moment, Long Chen appeared in the sky. The battle between the two had ended. Although Long Chen was in a sorry state, he was not injured at all. He looked at the mess of the Heavenly God Palace and the Punishment Hall and laughed crazily, "Old man, I have to make you admit that you can't do anything to me. I, Long Chen, am like this. I'm fearless, I'm not afraid of you. I see the Heavenly God Palace and the Punishment Hall as dogs. What the hell can you do to me?"
This sound almost made the second supreme elder faint from anger.
Unfortunately, Long Chen was like a loach, not willing to fight him head-on.
Long Chen was right. He understood that there was nothing he could do to him.
However, how could he get rid of the anger in his heart?
He was someone who had been famous for thousands of years. Today, he was humiliated by a kid. If this were to spread, his reputation would be ruined …
The shock that Long Chen had given everyone today was too much. At this moment, everyone was already numb to it.
No matter how heaven-defying Long Chen was, they would probably accept it.
Both parties faced off once more.
The Second Supreme Elder could not hold back the anger in his heart. It was like a wild beast in his heart, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It wanted to pounce out of his body and bite Long Chen to death.
However, the more he fought, the more people from the Punishment Hall died. His reputation was trampled even more by Long Chen.
Especially that sentence, 'What the hell can you do to me?'. How many years had it been since someone dared to say something like that to him? He could not tolerate it anymore.
No matter how much he endured, his killing intent was still nourished and was growing rapidly.
"Enough."
Suddenly, an indifferent voice rang out.
Long Chen was stunned. He turned his head and saw an ordinary-looking old man in gray robes suddenly appear behind him. This old man looked simple, but he was actually very powerful. He was much more powerful than Ancestor Mo and Ancestor Luan.
Only the world emperor that Long Chen looked up to probably had the power of this ordinary old man.
Long Chen turned his head abruptly. With just a glance, he could tell the difference between this old man and the Second Supreme Elder. It was as if he did not exist at all, as if he had merged with the Heavenly Dao. He gave off an illusory feeling and did not have any emotions. He was like a rock that had been exposed to the wind and rain all year round and was covered in moss.
The calmness and naturalness in his eyes made Long Chen feel a sliver of respect and admiration. At the same time, he also felt a sense of closeness. Just a glance from such an expert was enough to soothe the violence in Long Chen's heart. He had indeed gone a little crazy today.
"Greetings, senior." Long Chen put away his arrogance and bowed to the old man.
The old man smiled at him in a very natural manner.
Without needing anyone to tell him, Long Chen could guess this old man's identity. Without a doubt, he was the most horrifying person in the three thousand palaces. He was the Punishment Hall's First Supreme Elder, the person with the highest position in the three thousand palaces. What was different from the other Supreme Elders was that he was sent by the Martial God Palace to manage the three thousand palaces.
The three thousand palaces were the foundation of the Martial God Palace. To the Martial God Palace, they were the most important.
When the old man appeared, everyone was stunned. Then, they all knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Greetings, First Supreme Elder."
Even the people from the Punishment Hall of the Heavenly God Palace did the same.
The other Grand Elders also hurriedly bowed respectfully, including the Second Grand Elder who was still burning with rage.
"Rise," the First Supreme Elder said.
Only then did everyone stand up and look at this legendary old man with eyes filled with respect.
At this moment, the Punishment Hall's people became arrogant. Aren't you very arrogant, Long Chen? Now that the First Supreme Elder is here, I want to see what you will do.
The first person to fight for was the Second Supreme Elder. He showed an anxious expression and said quickly, "Big Brother, you must have seen what happened today. Long Chen, he …"
At this point, the First Supreme Elder already waved his hand, indicating for him to stop. Then, he looked at the crowd below and said in an extremely quiet voice, "I saw what happened today. The Punishment Hall's negligence is this old man's fault. From today onwards, this old man will reform the Punishment Hall and will not tolerate anyone. If the Emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the commoners. As for today's matter, this old man does not want to pursue it. Those who bring evil upon themselves will not be able to live."
The First Supreme Elder's words stunned everyone in the three thousand palaces.
Although they had never seen this First Supreme Elder before, he seemed different from what they imagined. He was an upright person, different from the Second Supreme Elder and the others who tolerated evil.
If that was the case, everyone would cheer. What they needed was a fair and just environment.
Everyone started cheering.
As for the sentence "those who bring evil upon themselves", it was clearly directed at Lu Junyue. This actually meant that the First Supreme Elder seemed to be on Long Chen's side.
This …
In their imagination, Long Chen had offended the Punishment Hall's dignity. As the head of the Punishment Hall, the First Supreme Elder should have killed Long Chen.
The difference between reality and imagination was simply too great.
The expressions of the other five Supreme Elders turned very unsightly. In reality, they were the ones who understood the First Supreme Elder the most. He rarely appeared, spending most of his time in cultivation. Most of the time, the five of them were the ones who dealt with most of the matters. This was the first time he showed himself. He had decided to reform the Punishment Hall. Naturally, this reform referred to the five of them.
To them, this was not a good thing.
In the future, they would no longer have any mercy in front of the Punishment Hall.
However, what could they do? Even the Second Supreme Elder did not have the guts to go against this super expert that the Martial God Palace bid for.
Long Chen was also somewhat surprised.
This was indeed an elder worthy of respect.
"First Supreme Elder, in terms of punishment, Long Chen killed the innocent today. He has committed a grave sin. What do you think …" The Second Supreme Elder still refused to give up and spoke to the First Supreme Elder in a negotiating tone.
"Wu Feng, you have become bolder now that you have reached the Tribulation Realm." The First Supreme Elder looked at him quietly.
The Second Supreme Elder felt his hair stand on end. He immediately lowered his head and shut his mouth.
At this moment, the First Supreme Elder made another announcement.
"The Hidden Dragon Ranking battles are not over yet. There was only a small accident today. Tomorrow is the final battle. Everyone, please go back and prepare. I will personally watch the battles tomorrow."
The crowd was in an uproar.
With the First Supreme Elder watching, they did not have to worry about anything.
To be honest, the victor was still undecided. Long Chen currently had the highest points. He had won six matches in a row and already had eleven points. Next was Feng Zhilin. She had won five matches and had a total of ten points. Originally, Lu Junyue would be next. However, she was already dead. If her name was removed, it would be Xue Zi and then Yan Qingchen.
In her match with Xue Zi, Feng Zhilin had displayed extraordinary strength. She was nearly as strong as Long Chen today. Hence, there was still some suspense in tomorrow's battle.
If Feng Zhilin won, she and Long Chen would be tied for first place.
There was no suspense in Xue Zi obtaining third place.
The story of Feng Zhilin and Long Chen had caused an uproar in the Three Thousand Great Halls. There was no lack of gossipy people in this world. Their scandals were still circulating among the people. In fact, the battle between Long Chen and Lu Junyue was like a battle between two love rivals.
Of course, the scandals between Long Chen and Feng Zhilin were different because they were on opposing sides. Hence, tomorrow's battle was still very interesting.
