Long Chen's words caused a huge response from the Dark Remnant.
In fact, Long Chen was not good at talking nonsense, but he knew that this was what those old guys liked to see.
After saying that, he didn't care about the black-robed priest's expression. After glancing at Tu, he turned around and left. In fact, the Dark Remnant were crowded together and didn't make way for him to leave.
Tu knelt on the ground in agitation and said anxiously: "Sir Oracle, please don't go. They were just confused for a moment and angered you. I believe they will repent very soon."
With the Sacred Son of Darkness taking the lead, tens of thousands of Dark Remnant swarmed over and knelt one after another, begging for forgiveness.
Their faith had reached a level of obsession, especially when they were facing a great enemy. Moreover, the Dark Remnant didn't have much scheming like the Human Race, so they didn't have enough wisdom to distinguish whether Long Chen was telling the truth or not.
"Sir Oracle, we beg you not to go."
"That's right, Sir Divine Envoy. They're just confused for a moment, and they'll figure it out soon enough. I'll be the first to object to anyone who wants to make a move against Sir Divine Envoy. If they insist on doing so, they'll have to step over my dead body."
"That's right, we will protect Sir Oracle with our lives."
The power of tens of thousands of people gathered together was quite terrifying. Long Chen succeeded in winning the hearts of the people according to his plan.
In fact, this was within his expectations. With the help of the Sacred Son of Darkness and the blind faith of the Dark Remnant, it was reasonable for them to support Long Chen without hesitation.
The reason why Long Chen dared to come here was because he gave himself a clear position. He couldn't gain the trust of the black-robed priest right from the start, but he could gain the trust of all the Dark Remnant. At this time, the black-robed priest's trust was no longer that important. He couldn't kill Long Chen in front of so many people.
If Long Chen was really the Oracle, this was a blasphemous act that would cause the Goddess to abandon the Dark Remnant.
No one could bear the name of a sinner throughout the ages.
For a moment, everyone was pointing their fingers at him.
None of the gray-robed priests dared to move in the face of such immense pressure. Even the black-robed priest had not expected Long Chen to be able to summon such power.
In the Dragon Dance Hall, the higher-ups were stunned when they saw the countless Darkness Survivors who were fanatically following Long Chen.
"To think that he could come up with such a method of conquering those at the bottom, instead of directly gaining the Black-Robed Priest's trust. This Long Chen is a genius."
"Yeah, to have such keen intuition and be able to analyze the pros and cons, only he can do that."
This was not a compliment, but a fact.
Of course, things weren't over yet. What if the black-robed priest decided to ignore public opinion and kill Long Chen? In short, Long Chen wasn't out of danger yet.
With everyone pleading, Long Chen couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
At this moment, the black-robed priest finally lowered his head. His tone was still very calm as he said, "Everyone, please listen to me."
Given his strength, he could easily control the situation.
After the crowd quietened down, he said, "Everything I'm doing is for the tribe, not because of any personal grudges. The human race is the enemy of our tribe, this is undeniable. Furthermore, the Goddess' Oracles all hold a black spear in their hands, but this young man has a black sword in his hands, which is somewhat different from the others. This matter is of great importance, no matter what, I have to withstand the pressure and carefully consider this matter. The savage beasts will soon attack the city, if the identity of Lord Oracles is true, I will prove it when the time comes. If the identity is true, I will kneel down and apologize to Lord Oracles, but if it is false, I will represent our tribe to avenge our ancestors."
His words made everyone feel a little better.
However, given the Darkness Survivors' faith in the Goddess of Darkness, they would definitely feel bad for treating Long Chen like this.
The black-robed priest said, "Oracle, please come to our hall. We will discuss in detail how to deal with the beasts. Is that possible?"
This was the black-robed priest's counterattack.
Now, he had two choices. One was to leave the tribe, wait for the beasts to come, kill them, and solidify his position in the hearts of the Darkness Survivors. The second choice was to boldly confront the black-robed priest. The latter was more dangerous, but if he didn't agree, his prestige as the Oracle would be affected.
The black-robed priest was also a smart person, so he had such a counterattack.
"Oracle, the black-robed priest has sincerely repented and is willing to follow you. I hope that you can stay in the tribe."
"Yes, Oracle, we beg you to stay in the tribe."
Those who were kneeling immediately kowtowed.
If Long Chen went out at this time, it would be too much of a performance. He had to accept challenges. Facing the attack of the black-robed priest, Long Chen pursed his lips and said straightforwardly, "In that case, lead the way."
Then, Long Chen found out that only those who were above the rank of a grey-robed priest could enter the hall of the Black Rock Tribe. Of course, this included the Son of Darkness, Tu.
In the Black Rock Tribe, there were more than a dozen grey-robed priests.
After entering the hall, Long Chen lost the support of the people.
Without the support of the people, Long Chen was a soft persimmon that could be pinched however they wanted.
In the Dragon Dance Hall, the master of the Hanwu Temple laughed and said, "I knew that Long Chen is not as mysterious as you think. Young people are so impulsive. He clearly has the support of the people, but he still wants to go in. Isn't he courting death by going in?"
The people on Wenren Xi's side rolled their eyes, but they didn't say anything. It was indeed not a good choice for Long Chen to face these guys alone. Obviously, the black-robed priest did not believe that he was the Oracle.
The atmosphere was solemn. The black-robed priest and the grey-robed priests turned around and looked at Long Chen and Tu coldly. Tu was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, "Everyone, what's with this expression? Is this how they treat the Oracle? Is this the level of respect you have for the Goddess?"
This little guy was a good kid. He thought that the black-robed priest and the rest of the grey-robed priests had already given in. In fact, what they said before was just for the old, weak, women, and children to see.
At this moment, the black-robed priest and a few grey-robed priests surrounded Long Chen. The black-robed priest did not care about Tu at all and walked towards Long Chen step by step.
The feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger.
Three Nirvana Tribulations. If the black-robed priest suddenly attacked, he might be able to kill him …
Long Chen felt a chill down his spine.
However, he was still able to maintain his arrogant and calm appearance.
In the Dragon Dance Hall, the warriors were also worried. Long Chen could be considered a weirdo among the three of them. He actually broke into the tribe directly. In comparison, the Little Martial God was the safest.
He stood face to face with the strongest warrior in the tribe.
"Black-Robed priest, you have blasphemed the gods. You deserve to die. You are doomed eternally."
Tu reacted and was extremely furious. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws at the black-robed priest. However, at this moment, a grey-robed priest rushed out and restrained the Son of Darkness.
"Father, let me go." Tu struggled with all his might and roared.
The grey-robed priest's gaze was cold. He turned a deaf ear and continued to restrain Tu. In the end, he even covered Tu's mouth so that he could not speak.
After taking a few steps, the black-robed priest stood in front of Long Chen. When he raised his head, Long Chen realized that his face was even more delicate than Tu's. His skin was also completely black, similar to Tu's. He should also have the constitution of the Son of Darkness.
"When I was young, I was also the Son of Darkness," the black-robed priest suddenly said.
Long Chen looked at him quietly and did not reply.
At this moment, he could not reveal the slightest bit of confusion in his heart. The black-robed priest was testing him. The reason why he had dared to come in was because he had the confidence and courage to guarantee that he would be fine.
Moreover, in such a small place, if the black-robed priest really attacked, Long Chen could also escape outside. There were tens of thousands of Remnants of Darkness outside who would protect him.
The black-robed priest pursed his lips and said coldly, "Human, tell me the truth. Why did you come to the Black Rock tribe? The passage has been sealed by your Zhenwu Great Emperor. How did you come in?"
It seemed that he knew a lot.
Long Chen ignored his words and said, "Do you know how stupid you are?"
The black-robed priest was a little angry and said, "Don't try to change the topic."
Long Chen chuckled and said, "Sure enough, there are too many idiots like you among the dark survivors. I came here to kill the savage beasts. If you don't welcome me, you can let me leave instead of using a discussion as an excuse to trick me here. This will make me look down on you and look down on you. You only have this little bit of courage, yet you dare to lead a tribe? What? Do you want to kill me here? I admit that I'm not your opponent, and I don't think I'm a God's envoy, but …" Long Chen chuckled and said, "Sure enough, there are too many fools among the dark survivors.
At this point, his eyes were indifferent as if he did not care at all. He said, "Anyway, you will regret it."
Boldness.
The black-robed priest hated it the most when people said that he had no boldness.
Tu struggled free at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked at the black-robed priest angrily and roared, "Damn you, you will regret your decision today for the rest of your life. You are not fit to be a black-robed priest. Other than your strength, you are just a pile of dog shit. What qualifications do you have to follow the Dark Goddess?"
Did he want to kill Long Chen?
The black-robed priest was also struggling with this question.
He was actually very afraid.
"Maybe you will understand in three days. Why bother?" Long Chen reminded him.
"Alright, three days. I will wait for you in three days." The black-robed priest finally made up his mind.
But he was worried about Long Chen.
"Dark Cage."
Under his control, a cage that could only hold one person was completely sealed and imprisoned Long Chen.
This was his Primordial Taoist Technique.
Darkness had the ability to imprison.
