At this time, the highest authority, the Black Priest, had probably also heard the news here.
Long Chen looked ahead and walked quietly, but he could see the fanatical eyes of countless Darkness Remnants. They had entrusted their faith to him.
To them, he might have walked out of a myth.
Seeing so many Darkness Remnants blindly supporting him, Long Chen already knew that his plan had almost succeeded.
Because he had keenly grasped the key.
His key was not to conquer the Black Priest and gain his recognition, but to conquer the masses and the tens of thousands of Darkness Remnants.
There was a sea of people, including the elderly, women, and children. They all looked at Long Chen with curious gazes.
Perhaps they were excited, but many of the Black Tooth Warriors kept telling the citizens around them about how Long Chen had saved the Dark Holy Son and how he had easily defeated the Gray Priest.
"Such a young expert, if he is not the Oracle, then what is he? Only the Goddess of Darkness can create such an Oracle, Curisila."
"Yes, the brave Oracle, the great Oracle."
The Survivors of the Darkness were actually quite simple and honest.
Only one person spread the news, and soon, almost everyone believed this fact. Compared to the ordinary Black Tooth Warriors, the old, weak, women, and children had a stronger and more blind faith. They firmly believed in Tu's choice and believed that Tu's Son of Darkness constitution was bestowed by the Goddess of Darkness.
Tu's words represented the will of the Goddess of Darkness. Since even the Son of Darkness said that Long Chen was the great Oracle, then what else was impossible?
Seeing how Long Chen was being pursued by the Darkness Remnants, the people in the Dragon Dance Hall, especially the Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple, felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
The slap was extremely loud.
For a moment, the entire Dragon Dance Hall was silent, and not many people paid attention to the Young Martial God and Feng Zhilin, who were about to succeed.
During this time, Feng Zhilin was once again close to the target, and the Young Martial God had been waiting for the best opportunity. His time was almost here.
As long as the Young Martial God obtained the statue of the Goddess of Darkness, no matter how outstanding Long Chen's performance was, it would be impossible to open a gap of 25 points.
"To be honest, I think Long Chen was just lucky to be able to get in," said one of the higher-ups.
"Don't you think your words are laughable? Luck? You're lucky. Go in and give it a try. From the moment he appeared in front of the Holy Son of Darkness, every step he took was very careful. Every step he took was just right. If it were you, you would probably be exposed in just a few steps."
The two began to quarrel.
In the end, the quarrel was stopped by the three Martial Venerables.
"Don't argue. You'll know soon enough. Those old people, women, and children think he's a messenger, but what can he do? It depends on whether the black-robed priest believes it or not. He's at the same level as us, and he's not an idiot. Without the approval of the black-robed priest, Long Chen can't do anything. He can't even keep his life," said the leader of the Hanwu Temple proudly.
Indeed, Long Chen was facing the most important hurdle.
If he could get past the black-robed priest, he would be able to obtain the statue of the Dark Goddess.
Of course, everything would depend on his subsequent performance.
Now, in fact, he already had a very perfect plan. If he followed it, there would be absolutely no problem.
What a joke. The reason he could get to this step was largely due to his personality and wisdom. In terms of wisdom and courage, as well as the strictness of his thinking, not to mention Yang Chen, even Feng Zhilin couldn't catch up to him.
In the cheers of tens of thousands of survivors of the darkness, the two small things that Long Chen had done had been infinitely magnified.
The miracle had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Lord Messenger, thank you." Tu Fang was very excited. He was the one who invited Long Chen to come back.
Therefore, no matter what kind of suffering he had to face, he had to bear it.
"It's okay." Long Chen liked this young man very much.
The Black Rock tribe wasn't big. Soon, Long Chen and the others were already near the center of the tribe. This was an ancient tribe. People still lived in dilapidated latrines, which was their habit.
In the center of the tribe, there was a high platform. Although there was still a long distance between them, Long Chen could see that there were dozens of warriors standing on the high platform.
Among them, more than thirty were barbarian generals with full moon accessories on their chests, and about ten were grey-robed priests. Surrounded by all the grey-robed priests, there was a skinny man in a black robe who appeared in front of Long Chen.
His black robe was very loose, and his hat covered half of his face. The back half of his hat was dragging on the ground.
Vaguely, Long Chen felt that there was a strange aura on this black-robed priest. This was probably the feeling of a warrior in the third stage of Nirvana Tribulation. In terms of combat, he definitely wouldn't be a match for the other party.
If the other party wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't even be able to escape.
This black-robed priest would bring him the greatest danger.
Because of this, Long Chen didn't dare to be careless at all.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of people, Long Chen and the others stopped about thirty meters away from the black-robed priest.
In front of the black-robed priest, the tens of thousands of people quietened down. At this moment, Tu took a step forward and reported to the black-robed priest, who had the highest status, in an ecstatic manner, about Long Chen.
He started from the details. When the mysterious black-robed priest heard that Long Chen could actually kill a wild beast, he was probably very shocked.
The three grey-robed priests beside Long Chen also told him what had happened at the entrance. The warrior who was defeated by Long Chen said that Long Chen defeated him in an instant.
When everything was finished, it was as if they were waiting for the black-robed priest to make a decision.
Long Chen realized that this guy was actually looking at him. This was actually a crucial moment in a battle of life and death. A single mistake could lead to his death. Long Chen firmly grasped this point. If he persisted on this point, he wouldn't lose.
He still had an indifferent expression on his face. The black-robed priest was cold to him, so he became even colder until the other party became impatient.
Finally, in front of everyone, the black-robed priest said in a soft voice, "He is just a human who sneaked in and happened to obtain a good weapon. How can he be considered a divine emissary? The human race is our race's enemy. They once killed tens of thousands of our people. With such a deep hatred, what are you all waiting for?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd went into an uproar.
Under his command, several grey-robed priests coldly came over, wanting to capture Long Chen.
This was just a show of strength.
Tu was the most nervous person here. Hearing the black-robed priest's words, he instantly became angry. Disregarding his image, he roared, "Black-Robed priest, do you not believe my words? I swear on my soul, this is definitely a divine emissary. Not only did you neglect the divine emissary, but you also want to attack. You are destined to be punished by the goddess. If the goddess abandons us, you will be a sinner for all eternity."
He firmly stood beside Long Chen and looked at the black-robed priest with an unyielding gaze. He loudly said, "Only a divine emissary can kill a wild beast. I saw it with my own eyes, a wild beast died in his hands. He is willing to kill a wild beast for us, willing to help us, but you want to capture him. Black-Robed priest, could it be that you have abandoned your faith?"
Tu didn't have the strength, but in terms of status, he was the only one who could go against the black-robed priest.
Tu's words instantly caused a strong reaction from the crowd. Tu had always had the image of being close to the people, while the black-robed priest walked at the peak of power. The degree of support they received was different. Compared to the black-robed priest's cold-bloodedness, the crowd believed Tu's words more.
In an instant, the crowd became lively.
Seeing that the citizens had surrounded and protected Long Chen, the Gray-Robed Priests were at a loss. They couldn't do anything.
Long Chen knew that as long as he could grasp the people's trust, he would never lose.
Tu was trying his best to fight for himself. At this time, it was his turn to speak.
"Everyone, can you listen to me for a bit?"
Long Chen's voice was cold, different from the deep voice of the dark race. Coupled with his control, his voice spread to the ears of the dark race. Everyone quieted down, this was the first time the divine emissary had spoken …
Long Chen said in a clear voice, "I'm communicating with everyone with sincerity. The black-robed priest is right. I am a human, and my ancestors have invaded your race. I can't deny this. This is the hatred and struggle between the two races, but I don't want this matter to have anything to do with me. I didn't even know about the existence of the dark race until I came here. So, why did I come to this place?" He paused for a moment to arouse everyone's interest before continuing, "In fact, I also don't know.
He paused for a moment to arouse everyone's interest before continuing, "In fact, I don't know either. Maybe it's a dream. I obtained a divine sword that can really kill savage beasts. I'm also carrying out a mission, which is to kill savage beasts until I have killed a certain number of savage beasts so that I can leave this place. I don't know whether I'm the Oracle or not, and I can't be sure myself, but I can guarantee that since I have the courage to come here, I'm not plotting anything. The Remnants of Darkness don't have anything that I can plot against. Tu is my good friend, and he begged me, so I hope that I can help him. Everyone is very warm to me, and I'm also very grateful. I've never killed a Remnant of Darkness, and I won't do it in the future, but …"
At this point, he looked at the black-robed priest and said, "The black-robed priest doesn't approve of me and convicts me based on the mistakes of the ancestors. I have nothing to say, but I can guarantee that since I have the courage to come here, I'm not plotting anything. The dark race doesn't have anything that I can plot against. Tu is my good friend, and he begged me, so I hope that I can help him. Everyone is very enthusiastic towards me, and I'm also very grateful. I've never killed a dark race member, and I won't do so in the future, but …"
As a leader, one must have excellent eloquence and the ability to exaggerate emotions. Long Chen's words were sincere, and it directly hit the hearts of tens of thousands of dark race members. At the same time, he put himself in a very high position, and calmly belittled the black-robed priest's stubbornness.
