Rumble.
The five mystical ribbons wrapped themselves tightly around the Taiyi Royal Bell. The Taiyi City Lord sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and formed a hand seal. Using his seven-star Divine Power, he summoned the Taiyi Royal Bell back.
"True Taiyi Water, heed my call. Return quickly."
The Taiyi City Lord had cultivated for more than 20,000 years and had survived seven Samsara Tribulations. He was a sage of the Human Race, someone who was on the verge of becoming a god. He had held the Taiyi Royal Bell for thousands of years, and it had become a part of him. To him, the Sacred Spirit of the Goddess's Heart was actually a junior. However, this junior had managed to stop the Taiyi Royal Bell.
What should have been a huge battle had turned into a contest of strength between two supreme powerhouses. For a moment, no one made a move. Instead, they stared blankly at the Taiyi Royal Bell trembling violently in the air. One moment, it was pulled toward the Spirit Race, and the next moment, it was pulled toward the Human Race.
The exchange of Divine Power between the two stirred up a huge storm. Not only were the people inside the Taiyi Royal Bell swaying left and right, but the people outside were also unsteady. The Sacred Spirit, who was holding the five ribbons, was much more graceful. Her snow-white robes fluttered wildly in the air, and her slender hands grasped the ribbons. It was a beautiful sight. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she looked especially charming.
However, the huge storm in the central square was caused by her.
Rumble.
Explosions rang out all around. The central square had been passed down from the Age of Gods, but now it was on the verge of exploding. Cracks appeared on the bluestone ground.
Everyone watched the scene in fear. The power of these supreme powerhouses was too terrifying. At their level, they could kill millions with just a casual move.
Long Chen and the other 2,000 people were swaying in the Taiyi Royal Bell.
If it weren't for the protection of the Taiyi Royal Bell, the Sacred Spirit could have killed them all with a wave of her hand.
No one had expected the scene to be in such a deadlock.
The Human Race wasn't afraid. Since the Taiyi City Lord couldn't retrieve the Taiyi Royal Bell, he would hold on. The other powerhouses of the Human Race were rushing over, and the other martialists from the Taiyi Divine City weren't weak either.
The Spirit Race wanted to buy time to kill Di Yu, but how could they kill him while he was under the protection of the Taiyi Royal Bell?
For a moment, the girls were a little anxious.
"Big Sister, let's go and disturb the Taiyi City Lord."
A similarly beautiful woman said.
As the Holy Spirit pulled the five ribbons, it said, "No, there are still a few old fellows in Tai One Divine City. It will be very difficult for you to succeed."
"Then what should we do? We can't just keep going like this."
"The other experts of the Human Race are about to arrive. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
"Shut up," scolded the Holy Spirit in a low voice.
At this time, Hua Ling, who was the most nervous among the five, suddenly remembered what her good friend had entrusted to her. She was the youngest among the ten and the most loved, so the Holy Spirit kept her by its side. At this time, Hua Ling turned her gaze to the Taiyi Royal Bell, looking for Long Chen's whereabouts.
Long Chen had a very obvious characteristic, and that was the Celestial Fox Token planted by Ruo Xi.
This pink brand was planted on Long Chen's buttocks, and it was very eye-catching.
This part made Hua Ling blush. Obviously, Ruo Xi was teasing her. After she discovered Long Chen, she hurriedly said to Long Chen secretly, "Are you the person Ruo Xi asked me to take away?"
The Spirit Race was best at all kinds of Qimen techniques, and they had endless strange methods. Although the Taiyi Royal Bell was very tight, Hua Ling was still able to let Long Chen hear her voice.
Long Chen was jolting in the Taiyi Royal Bell, waiting for the other party to notice him.
Seeing that it was a lovely girl surrounded by flowers and pink petals next to the woman in white, he hurriedly said, "Yes, it's me. My name is Long Chen. Sister, in this situation, can you still take me away?"
Hua Ling was from the same generation as Ruo Xi, so it shouldn't be too much for him to call her sister, even though Hua Ling looked very young.
Hua Ling rubbed her forehead and said in distress, "This old man is too hateful. But don't worry, my sister is trying to break the Taiyi Royal Bell. As long as we kill Di Yu, I can immediately take you to the Spirit Race. Besides my nine sisters, Ruo Xi is my best friend."
Long Chen didn't look optimistic. He bumped around in the Taiyi Royal Bell and spent a lot of effort to stabilize himself. He continued, "I don't think so. This is a dao tool with hundreds of dao patterns, how can it be opened so easily? Clearly, the other party is waiting for reinforcements. After a while, you will be in danger."
"Is that so, is that so? Then what should we do? Ruo Xi wants me to take you away."
Hua Ling's face was full of anxiety.
At that moment, the dignified and elegant woman next to her looked at Long Chen. Her eyes seemed to contain an entire world, endless and deep like a whirlpool. When she looked at Long Chen, Long Chen was dazed for a moment. She was a terrifying expert.
"You want us to take you to the Spirit Race, right?" The Holy Spirit's cold voice echoed in his ears.
At that moment, the battle between the Holy Spirit and the Taiyi City Lord had reached its climax. They were basically evenly matched. It was not easy for the Holy Spirit to kill Di Yu under his protection.
Inside the Taiyi Royal Bell, Di Yu, who was surrounded and protected by everyone, had a peaceful smile on his face. He had gone through the initial fear and was now very courageous. In fact, everyone could see that if they continued to persevere, the Spirit Race would be doomed. The small Spirit Race wanted to strangle a peerless genius in the cradle? It was wishful thinking.
After the Holy Spirit asked this question, Long Chen already guessed what she was going to say next.
Long Chen could only nod. His identity had been exposed, so he had to go to the Spirit Race. Otherwise, he would probably be imprisoned for life in the Dragon God Domain. He didn't have the absolute power to go against these people who saw Long Qinglan as their enemy. He would be seen as the descendant of a disgraceful person. Obviously, if he wasn't strong enough, these people with ulterior motives would definitely humiliate him endlessly.
After getting an affirmative answer from Long Chen, the Holy Spirit said, "If you want to go to the Spirit Race with us, there is only one way. Kill Di Yu quickly and the Taiyi Royal Bell will break on its own. Only then can I take you away. Otherwise, if we continue to waste time, we won't be able to break the Taiyi Royal Bell. We won't be able to kill Di Yu, but we won't be able to take you away either."
Long Qinglan's appearance made Long Chen even more anxious to leave the Dragon God Domain than before.
However, if he really had to kill Di Yu again in front of so many people …
To be honest, Long Chen just felt that this child was too arrogant and unreasonable. There definitely wasn't any deep hatred between the two of them. The reason he had killed Di Yu on the white jade platform was for his own survival. Moreover, at that time, he was certain that everyone else was dead and no one knew that he had killed Di Yu.
However, things were different now. They were in front of everyone, and Di Yu was known as the hope of the human race and a future god. Too many seniors had placed high hopes on him, and he also had the blood and sweat of the ancestors of the human race. As a member of the human race, if Long Chen really did this, it would be tantamount to betraying the enemy and betraying the country. When that happened, the crime that he would have to bear would probably not be any lighter than Long Qinglan's.
At that time, it would be easier said than done to help Long Qinglan wash away those unjust misunderstandings. If he killed Di Yu, it would be questionable whether he could return to the human race in the future. It would mean that he would definitely have to bear the name of a traitor and carry this crime for the rest of his life. He would never be able to clear his name.
However, in reality, Long Chen belonged to the Dragon Sacrificing Continent, not the Dragon God Domain of the Eternal God Domain. Although he was a member of the human race, he had never hated the Monster Race or the Spirit Race. He didn't have the deep-rooted hatred that the people of the Dragon God Domain had. They wanted nothing more than to dominate the Eternal God Domain and exterminate the Spirit Race and Monster Race. However, Long Chen felt that it was best for all races to prosper. It wasn't worth it for countless people to die for the sake of domination.
The Sacred Spirit's condition caused Long Chen to sink into an extreme dilemma.
No matter what he chose today, it would cause a lot of trouble. If he chose to kill Di Yu, then he would be ostracized from the entire Dragon God Domain. He would become a traitor and be condemned by everyone. In the future, if he wanted to return and fulfill his father's dying wish, it would definitely be ten times more difficult. To the stubborn old fogeys of the human race, it might even be impossible. These people regarded Di Yu too highly. To those old fogeys, Di Yu was just a Long Qinglan that they could control.
However, if he chose not to kill Di Yu, then he wouldn't have the chance to leave the human race. Today, his identity had been accidentally exposed. What awaited him was an unknown great tribulation, and he might even be mocked by tens of thousands of people. At the moment, he clearly didn't have the strength to dominate the world and shut everyone's mouths.
It wasn't that the Sacred Spirit wanted to force Long Chen into a dead end. It was just that the reality was too coincidental. Whether the human race or the Spirit Race arrived a little earlier, the situation wouldn't be the same. Long Chen didn't need to choose either.
"I won't force you. I also know that to you, killing him will mean that you'll be despised and despised for the rest of your life. Therefore, everything is up to you. I'll give you at most thirty breaths of time. From now on …"
The Sacred Spirit was a very cold and callous woman. She stood proudly amidst the raging winds like a queen of a generation, and countless men prostrated before her.
Meanwhile, in Long Chen's heart, there was an endless struggle.
"To kill or not to kill?"
He had always been decisive. However, the price to pay for either choice was too great. No matter what he chose, there didn't seem to be a correct answer.
Neither Li Xuanji nor Lingxi dared to interfere with his decision. This was his own choice.
Perhaps every choice he made would give him a chance to escape from death's door.
