Long Chen shifted his gaze away from the strange little Martial God and focused on dealing with the Hall Master of the Cambrian Hall.
He had already sensed that when he said those words, the entire Martial God Palace hated him. Although he didn't mind it, it wasn't a good thing. Wenren Jingtao and the others looked very anxious, and Wenren Xi's expression was not good either. Nangong Lie, who cared about him the most, was even more anxious.
He didn't expect that one day, he could make the people of the Martial God Palace look at him with such disgust.
Today, he had ruined his reputation. This was probably the reason why Wenren Xi was in a bad mood. Long Chen knew that Wenren Xi wanted him to be the Holy Martial Emperor, but his actions today had ruined his plan.
The Holy Martial Emperor was not just powerful and could be the best in battle. It required a combination of many factors.
Although he had no regrets for Han Yunxing, he couldn't make things too awkward. So he said, "I killed them because Fu Hai imprisoned my Uncle Han, Han Yunxing, and tortured him until he wished he was dead. My Uncle Han is now in my Divine Nation. He is an elder I respect and has helped me a lot. As for why I had to kill Fu Hai, it was because Fu Hai planted a Spirit Devouring Gu in my Uncle Han's body. This is a poisonous insect that can devour my Uncle Han's soul if Fu Hai shakes the Gu Bell. If I didn't kill him and destroy the Gu Bell in his Divine Nation, my Uncle Han would have died in his hands. As for why Fu Hai imprisoned my Uncle Han and tortured him in such a despicable way, it was because Uncle Han and his adopted daughter were in love. He looked down on my Uncle Han in order to protect his reputation. Miss Fu Ling 'er and Miss Feng can testify that I'm not lying. If I'm lying, let me be struck by lightning."
Long Chen's thoughts were very clear. In just a few words, he had clearly summarized the entanglement between him and Fu Hai.
At this time, Fu Ling'er also came out of the dungeon. She still hadn't recovered from the shock. She couldn't accept Fu Hai's death. After all, he was her benefactor. However, at this time, when everyone asked her for confirmation, she was not an ignorant person, so she nodded blankly and said, "He's right..."
Those who were familiar with Fu Hai knew his temper. Some even knew that he had imprisoned Han Yunxing. Among the people around him, there were people who had given the Spirit Devouring Insect to Fu Hai. However, no one knew that Long Chen would appear and kill Fu Hai.
"Nonsense."
The Hall Master of Cambrian was furious. Suddenly, a terrifying force swept over and pushed Long Chen back a few steps.
Those who were immersed in the words of Long Chen also came to their senses when they heard the Hall Master of Cambrian's roar. Long Chen had made such a big mistake. How could he explain it with just a few words?
The Hall Master of Cambrian chased after him and said, "You said so much just to get the Hall Master of Cambrian to give you a lighter punishment. Let me tell you, there is no way. Your made-up reason is simply ridiculous. In addition, if Fu Hai really imprisoned Han Yunxing, why didn't you report it to the Hall Master of Cambrian? I am confident that I can handle this matter, but you did it yourself. You even killed more than a dozen unrelated General Cambrian. You used such cruel and merciless methods, yet you still managed to enter the Martial God Palace. It is really a miracle. I really don't know who was blind enough to bring you in..."
Seeing that the Hall Master of Cambrian was going overboard, Long Chen could not help but interrupt him and said, "The one who brought me in is the Zhenwu Great Emperor. How dare you!"
The Hall Master of Cambrian was stunned and shut his mouth. Only then did he remember that the Zhenwu Great Emperor had summoned Long Chen.
However, this was a great opportunity to take down Wenren Xi. Ye Futu had been waiting for a long time, so he could not mess this up. He had to be decisive and get rid of Long Chen completely. As the Hall Master of the Hanwu Palace, Wenren Xi had nothing to say, so he said loudly, "Long Chen has killed a King of Hanwu and 15 Generals of the Hanwu Palace. He has committed a grave sin, and this is the biggest case in the history of the Martial God Palace in thousands of years. Such a madman, after committing the crime, does not repent, and even contradicts me. He has no respect for the law, and is cruel and merciless. If he is allowed to stay in the Martial God Palace, who knows how many more disciples will die because of his ridiculous reason. Today, the evidence is conclusive, and I will enforce the law impartially. Today, I announce that the verdict is as follows: Long Chen will be sent to the 'Purgatory Fiend Prison' to suffer the pain of thousands of arrows piercing his heart, never to come out again.
Long Chen had killed people and had a bad attitude. Not many people in the Martial God Palace had a good impression of him. Moreover, he was an outsider, but he was summoned by the Zhenwu Great Emperor. There were bound to be many people who were jealous of him. Although Long Chen's explanation was reasonable, there were still many people who wanted him dead. Although many people felt that the Hall Master of Cambrian's verdict was a bit harsh, at least they did not object.
"Two Martial Saints, what do you think of my verdict?"
The Hall Master of Cambrian ignored Long Chen and looked at Ye Futu and Wenren Xi with a humble attitude.
The smiling Ye Futu and the Smiling Buddha still didn't say a word, but they nodded in satisfaction.
"Where is Wenren Wu Zun?" The Hall Master of Cambrian asked calmly.
This was a big matter, so he wanted to seek the opinions of the two Martial Saints. At the same time, he wanted to put pressure on Wenren Xi. Long Chen's matter today had touched the fragile hearts of many people. At this moment, if Wenren Xi protected Long Chen at all costs, it would attract a lot of criticism. His reputation and status in the Martial God Palace would be greatly reduced.
Under everyone's gaze, Wenren Xi remained calm. He did not say a word, leaving the Hall Master of Cambrian there.
Suddenly, Long Chen said, "So be it. Can you cut the crap and do it? After all, the people I killed were from the Hall Master of Cambrian. I did not expect the Hall Master of Cambrian to give me a fair trial. Earlier, some people even asked me why I did not report to the Hall Master of Cambrian first. Was I seeking death? Hall Master of Cambrian, you should stop bragging about yourself. The entire Hall Master of Cambrian is just a lackey of some people. Stop pretending to be refined in front of me."
Although Long Chen's words had helped Wenren Xi out, he had said something that should not be said. The people from the Hall Master of Cambrian had an ugly expression on their faces.
Only Ye Futu, who was being attacked by Long Chen head-on, didn't make a sound.
He was indeed a terrifying person...
Long Chen was very straightforward. He was not a mediocre person, and he had never treated the Martial Emperor Palace as a place where he could stay for long. Other people were respectful to Ye Futu and the Hall Master of Cambrian, but Long Chen had been framed and bullied. Why should he be polite?
The Hall Master of Cambrian sneered, "I will personally take care of this case. I will capture Long Chen. Get rid of the irrelevant people."
His words were directed at Feng Zhilin.
Long Chen grabbed Feng Zhilin and did not let her leave. He raised his head proudly and smiled at the Hall Master of Cambrian. "Can I say that you can't touch me?"
The Hall Master of Cambrian seemed to have heard a big joke. With his strength, he could subdue Long Chen with one move. Even Wenren Xi was speechless. But Long Chen said he couldn't touch him?
"Don't worry. The Fiend Purgatory is very fun. You can enjoy it for the rest of your life."
The Hall Master of Cambrian attacked as soon as he spoke. As expected, his strength was at a level that Long Chen could not touch. He had passed three Nirvana Tribulations and had even cultivated to the late stage. It was very likely that he could enter four Nirvana Tribulations in the future. This Hall Master of Cambrian was very powerful.
But just as he was about to attack, the person that Long Chen was waiting for finally arrived.
"Stop."
An elegant woman, who looked like a lotus flower that had grown out of the mud, stood in front of Long Chen. The crowd had not seen this woman for a long time, so they suddenly realized who she was.
She was the most mysterious of the three Martial Venerables, the one who was closest to the Zhenwu Great Emperor, Lin Junyao.
Many people had seen her fight, but they all knew that she was the most powerful one among the three Martial Venerables.
What was Lin Junyao doing here?
The crowd was confused. Seeing her standing in front of Long Chen, they suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Greetings, Martial Venerable Lin." The Hall Master of Cambrian had to salute.
Lin Junyao glanced at him and then said to the crowd, "The Great Emperor has ordered that Long Chen is his honored guest. No one can touch him. Today's matter is over."
As soon as the words came out, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
"How can this be?"
"Is this really what the Great Emperor said?"
"No way. Long Chen made such a big mistake today. He can't just let him go like this."
"How can he convince the crowd? How can he convince the crowd?"
Those who were also from the Hall of Cambrian were the ones who made the most noise.
Hearing this news, Ye Futu, who was all smiles and seemed to have no other expression, was stunned for a moment. Then, he recovered his smile. Wenren Xi's eyes flashed as he glanced at Ye Futu. Then, he led the people behind him and left the place.
He was the one who left the fastest.
"Silence."
Lin Junyao's words silenced everyone, causing those who were passionately resisting to shut their mouths. Only then did Lin Junyao continue, "Is it because the Emperor hasn't appeared for too long that you even dare to doubt his decisions? Haha …"
Her words sent chills down the spines of the crowd.
Yes, it was the Great Emperor's decision.
And the Great Emperor was the deity of the Zhenwu Great Emperor Palace...
The crowd could not help but shut their mouths. Fear had suppressed their unwillingness.
Among them, many were not from the Hall of Cambrian.
Long Chen had no choice. He did everything for Han Yunxing. He could not explain the deaths of so many people. Everyone had to die. If they did not die, Han Yunxing would not be able to live.
Although it had affected everyone's impression of him, and no matter how he explained, they would not listen to his explanation. But in the end, Long Chen did not regret it.
"The Great Emperor wants to talk to you. Come with me."
Lin Junyao said one last sentence and left with Long Chen.
After they left, the crowd was in despair. Why did this outsider, this murderer, have the honor of meeting the Great Emperor twice? What was wrong with the Great Emperor...
Unwillingness and awe intertwined. The crowd's faces were very ugly until Long Chen completely disappeared.
"Argh!"
Hall Master Hanwu roared and stomped his foot on the ground. He looked up and saw that Ye Futu had left without him noticing.
"Master is truly angry this time …" Ye Zichen muttered.
The Hall Master of Cambrian sighed.
