When Long Chen said these words, the entire scene was silent. Everyone stared at him with lifeless eyes. Even the other eight outer clan's Supreme Elders were stunned for a moment.
Here, the ones with the most interesting expressions were the two siblings, Chu Yunxi and Chu Yunyao.
In their eyes, this legendary grandfather-level expert was simply a god-like existence. And now, their god had been desecrated just like that. To them, Long Chen had to die, and he had to die immediately!
Liu Yuan and Liu Lan's minds went blank. Liu Yuan knew that Long Chen's personality wasn't very patient, so before he came in, he had already warned Long Chen not to act rashly. He thought that Long Chen would remember, but Long Chen actually used such a move.
Moreover, after Long Chen finished speaking, he still didn't lower his head, and just looked at Chu Tianxiong with an indifferent expression.
He wanted to give Chu Tianxiong a difficult problem. Right now, in the eyes of the eight outer clan's Supreme Elders, if Chu Tianxiong didn't handle this well, his great reputation would very likely become a laughingstock.
Therefore, everyone was looking at Chu Tianxiong, what was he going to do.
"Little thief, you're courting death!"
A mere Mortal Core cultivator wants to participate in the inner clan selection, watch me defeat you! "
Chu Yunyao screamed, and was about to charge towards Long Chen.
Among the people present, the one who didn't believe that Long Chen could participate in the inner clan selection the most was Chu Yunyao. They were both at the Large Success stage of the Mortal Core stage, so why did Long Chen have the qualifications to participate in the inner clan selection, and she could only use some kind of relationship to have the qualifications to watch?
Moreover, Long Chen had even humiliated Chu Tianxiong in public. To her, this was something that was even more unforgivable.
Therefore, even before Chu Yunxi, she had already made her move against Long Chen!
"Die!"
He pulled out the Tai Qing Sword and was about to stab towards Long Chen!
Most people were watching this scene nervously.
They wanted to see just how much weight Long Chen had, and if he could defeat Chu Yunyao. But at this time, Chu Tianxiong personally made his move, suddenly disappearing from his seat, and when he reappeared, his hand was already holding Chu Yunyao's sword.
"Third Grandpa, I want to kill him!
He actually dared to talk nonsense to you, he really deserves to die a thousand times over! "
"Step down."
Chu Tianxiong's tone and expression didn't change in the slightest. He lightly pushed Chu Yunyao behind him, and then looked at Long Chen expressionlessly with a pair of sword-like eyes, as if Long Chen wasn't a person at all, but a tree, a rock.
"This old fellow's mentality has long since been trained to the state of being as calm as an ancient well. It seems like my little verbal attack is completely unable to make him angry. However, I want to see just where your bottom line is … I, Long Chen, and Old Man Liu, are not people that you can bully as you please!"
From the moment he was thrown into the Azure Clan to the moment he came here, this Chu Tianxiong was still lying through his teeth and bullying Liu Yuan. Long Chen's anger had already reached its limit.
However, anger was anger. He wasn't an idiot. He dared to say such words in public. In the end, he still had confidence and confidence in his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk just to make Chu Tianxiong lose face!
Thus, he looked coldly at Chu Tianxiong again and said coldly, "Everyone knows that Chu Yunxi and I don't get along, and you are Chu Yunxi's third grandfather. Today, the three of us clearly arrived at your temporary imperial residence early in the morning, but you left first and came here. You even bullied Grand Elder Liu and lied through your teeth. Grand Elder, your petty methods don't seem to match your current status, do they?"
As soon as Long Chen said this, the others became even more dumbfounded.
"Long Chen, you're crazy, stop spouting nonsense!"
Only then did Liu Yuan react and pull Long Chen to the side.
"You … You're talking nonsense!
Bastard, you actually dare to tarnish my Third Grandpa's reputation, what are your intentions?
To Long Chen, Chu Yun Yao wished that she could skin him alive and pull out his tendons!
"This is really courting death!"
Chu Yunxi also stood up!
And even more people wanted to see Chu Tianxiong's performance.
Chu Tianxiong's matter was something that everyone only needed to know in secret. He had an esteemed status, and it wasn't a big deal for him to play a little trick on a Grand Elder. However, it was really too shameful for Long Chen to say it out loud in front of so many people.
At this moment, under the ridiculing smiles of the crowd, especially in front of Gu Batian, the corner of Chu Tianxiong's eyes twitched slightly. His gaze gradually turned cold, revealing a faint killing intent. Long Chen guessed that he was already angry in his heart.
Long Chen knew that he had to stop while he was ahead. The reason he insulted Chu Tianxiong was because he wanted to vent his and Liu Yuan's anger. Now that he had vented his anger, Chu Tianxiong was embarrassed enough.
In front of everyone, Long Chen knew that Chu Tianxiong was conflicted. Long Chen was someone that the inner clan had decided to participate in the inner clan selection. No matter what the reason was, if Chu Tianxiong killed Long Chen in this kind of situation, it would be hard to explain.
However, how could Chu Tianxiong swallow the humiliation of being toyed with by this ant?
He looked at Long Chen with an ice-cold gaze. His lips moved slightly, and a hoarse voice came out.
"Everyone, today, I will be presumptuous for a while. I hope that everyone will take into account the fact that we have known each other for many years and have jointly led the Spirit Martial Clan, and put in a few good words for me, Chu Tianxiong, in front of Lord Xuan Xiao."
Hearing Chu Tianxiong's words, everyone knew that Chu Tianxiong was going to kill Long Chen.
It was no wonder that any of the Great Elders present would kill Long Chen if they were to be humiliated like this by a little baby, not to mention Chu Tianxiong, who had always had a strange temper.
"This little guy has some talent, but he's a hothead."
"If he could endure it for a while, he might become the pillar of the Outer Clan in the future. What a pity."
Two of the Outer Clan's Great Elders looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed. When Chu Yunxi and Chu Yunyao heard that Chu Tianxiong was going to do it himself, the anger in their eyes disappeared, and was replaced by joy and complacency. They looked at Long Chen with ridicule, and Chu Yunyao said, "After obtaining the qualification for the inner clan selection, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You even dare to offend my Third Grandpa, you deserve to be killed!"
As soon as Chu Yunyao finished speaking, Chu Tianxiong's eyes turned cold. In an instant, an overwhelming aura came crashing down towards Long Chen. At this moment, Long Chen felt like the sky was falling down on him!
"This old man is really strong. With this realm, he can smash me into pieces with just a casual punch!"
Thinking about this, Long Chen felt a bit depressed. Advanced Heavenly Core realm, no wonder he was the strongest warrior in Yuan Ling City. Long Chen facing Chu Tianxiong now was like facing the Yang family's ancestor when he was still at the fourth level of the Dragon Vein realm, and the gap between them was even bigger.
"It's time for the people from the inner clan to appear."
Long Chen felt very relaxed in his heart.
Earlier, Ling Xi had told Long Chen that there were two people slowly walking out from the depths of the Assembly Hall. One of them had an aura that was no weaker than that of the Supreme Elders. In fact, it was even stronger. That person was definitely the person who had been sent by the inner clan to oversee the inner clan selection.
With this person in charge, would Long Chen still be killed?
Even the Great Elders couldn't resist the dignity of the inner clan. Therefore, just as Chu Tianxiong was about to make his move and give Long Chen a fatal pressure, a deep, hoarse, magnetic voice came from the depths of the meeting hall, "Chu Tianxiong, stop."
Hearing this voice, Chu Tianxiong's expression changed, but he was indeed very obedient. He quickly withdrew his hand, and without even looking at Long Chen, he turned around.
At this time, everyone looked towards the depths of the meeting hall and stood respectfully, including the Great Elders.
Long Chen walked out from the edge of death, and there was still a trace of lingering fear in his heart. Liu Yuan and Liu Lan had complicated feelings. They were about to ask Long Chen why he was doing this, but when they thought about the identity of the person who came, they also stood respectfully.
Under the gazes of the crowd, two people walked out from the darkness. The person on the side had an imposing appearance, handsome brows, and his entire body emitted a threatening heroic spirit. It was Dongfang Tianyu, the person Long Chen met in the Heaven realm last time!
Dongfang Tianyu was obviously here to be a bystander. The person in the middle was the real person in charge.
Long Chen squinted his eyes and looked over. It was a man in his thirties. His face was fair and beardless, and his figure was thin. His long hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, reaching all the way to his waist. He wore a loose white robe, and his eyes were as calm as an ancient well. They were very deep, and anyone who looked into them would feel like they were being sucked in.
"This man looks quite handsome..."
Seeing a man more handsome than him, Long Chen was a little speechless. He usually didn't praise other men for being handsome, but as long as he praised them, they would be extremely handsome.
Mo Xiaolang was also very handsome, but he was a little too immature.
Seeing this man, even the Great Elders lowered their heads and respectfully cupped their fists, "We greet Lord Xuanxiao!"
Xuanxiao?
The inner clan selection this time was for the Eastern Blue Dragon Clan, and Dongfang Tianyu was a member of the Dongfang Family. If Long Chen wasn't wrong, this man's name should be Dongfang Xuanxiao.
Frankly speaking, even these supreme elders and Jin Shengen's father did not give Long Chen such a feeling. He did not have the aura of an expert, and everything about him was very ordinary. However, he gave off a terrifying feeling, and it was difficult to get close to him.
"Forget it. Sit down."
Dongfang Xuanxiao's expression remained unchanged as he waved his hand. Under his instructions, everyone sat down obediently, including Chu Tianxiong. After Dongfang Xuanxiao appeared, he seemed to have forgotten about Long Chen, which showed how powerful Dongfang Xuanxiao was.
"This Dongfang Xuanxiao seems to be very powerful."
Long Chen sighed inwardly as he quickly sat down.
Logically speaking, even if the conflict between Chu Tianxiong and Long Chen was just a farce, he should still pay attention to Long Chen. However, his eyes were looking straight ahead and he didn't look at anyone.
After everyone sat down, they waited for Dongfang Xuanxiao's instructions.
"Disciples participating in the inner clan selection, come out and form groups of two. I will give you crystal bracelets and signal fireworks."
