In truth, in the eyes of the crowd, Mu Huang was a very amiable person, and rarely targeted others like this. At this moment, his expression was ferocious, and his face was full of murderous intent. His meaning was quite clear. Hearing his words, the crowd felt a little vexed. How could he have killed him so easily? He should have been toyed with.
Mu Huang's words were completely directed at Gong Qing.
Hearing this, Gong Qing frowned deeply. He knew that this old fellow would definitely go against him. He stood beside Long Chen and said in a loud voice, "Today, I brought him back not to let you all toy with him, nor to kill him, but to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf and earn merit for our Human Race. I am not joking with you all. The reason why I have made this decision is because I feel that he can do things that others cannot. There are two other points that I need to make clear to you all. First, no matter how you view the Eternal Dragon Emperor, that is all in the past, and has nothing to do with him. Second, although he killed Di Yu, I believe that before a genius becomes an expert, he is no different from a piece of trash. Di Yu's death was his fate. Long Chen is indeed in the wrong, but as a dragon warrior of our race, he also has a chance to turn over a new leaf. Our Human Race has always been a generous and magnanimous race, so there is no need to haggle over a matter of the past."
Gong Qing's words immediately set off a huge uproar.
In truth, the younger generation of dragon warriors had never thought that Gong Qing would have such a bizarre plan. This was simply beyond their imagination. For a moment, almost everyone looked at him in astonishment, especially his disciples. They all felt a sense of disbelief. It must be known that the Fury Sea Tyrannosaurus had been ruthlessly beaten by Long Chen.
Shouldn't this kind of traitor be killed? Why was he given a chance to repent? Almost no one could understand Gong Qing. From their expressions of disbelief, Long Chen also knew what kind of pressure this old man had to face for him. He suddenly felt a little moved. It was not like someone he had just met was willing to go this far for him.
Why was he willing to resist such great pressure for him? Was it because he sympathized with him, or because he also had his own faith in Long Qinglan?
Long Chen did not know the reason, but he knew that he could not disappoint the old man's expectations of him.
Gong Qing's words set off a huge uproar. Despite his supreme authority, the crowd could not restrain their confusion. They all shouted, "Mister Gong, how can you do this? He is a traitor of the Human Race. Even if he were to die, he would not be able to redeem himself. How can we forgive such a person?"
"If you say that he has nothing to do with the Eternal Dragon Emperor, does that mean he is innocent? Even if the Eternal Dragon Emperor is dead, he can still impose his views on his son. This guy is so unruly. If he is allowed to grow stronger, he will definitely become a new demon in the future. He will definitely cause great trouble for the human race. We cannot allow him to live."
"Master, how can you think like that? No matter what, he beat up Senior Brother Jiang Kun so badly. He's an outsider and a traitor. He's probably still working for the Spirit Race. How can we let such a person turn over a new leaf? I don't think he can change at all."
Long Chen quietly looked at these faces. He could only describe them as ugly. If they were against him, he would have been used to it. However, Gong Qing had just met him, and he had put him under such pressure. Long Chen felt bad. Long Chen was about to say something, but Gong Qing stopped him. White lightning flashed in his eyes as he roared, "Shut up."
The sharp sound of the explosion shocked everyone. They closed their mouths and looked at Gong Qing in astonishment. They did not understand why Gong Qing was angry.
At this moment, Gong Qing looked around and said, "Who do you think you are? The three of us have made the decision. You just need to listen obediently. Whoever dares to say anything will be slapped three thousand times. If you are dissatisfied with me, you can go back to the Life Dragon City and report to your superiors. Now, you better shut your mouths. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
He was truly enraged. As soon as he uttered such ruthless words, the young people immediately retreated several steps in fear. Among the three leaders, Gong Qing's temper had always been the fiercest. After all, he was the Thunder Dragon of the Divine Palace, and his ferocious reputation was well known. After these words, no matter how angry the young people were, they could only swallow it down. However, from their bloodshot eyes, it could be seen that none of them were convinced.
In the past, they might have respected Gong Qing. However, in their eyes, this old man had become an unreasonable person. They did not believe that the other two leaders would make such a messy decision like Gong Qing.
Long Chen deserved to die.
While the young people clenched their teeth and looked at Long Chen with hatred, the three leaders were already at each other's throats. In fact, Mu Huang and Xing Yue already knew part of Gong Qing's thoughts. At this time, the one who was truly at odds with Gong Qing was the giant Wood Dragon. His green eyes were incomparably deep. He said coldly, "Old Thunder Ghost, if I confront you, I will have to slap myself three thousand times."
Gong Qing already knew that he would make things difficult for him. Today, he had to fight for an opportunity for Long Chen. It was not easy, but in reality, he had never hoped that Mu Huang would be moved by him. He also sneered and said, "If you want to slap yourself, of course, I won't dare to stop you. Today, my opinion and decision cannot be changed. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Lightning flashed in his eyes, and he did not have the slightest intention of backing down.
Mu Huang laughed loudly and said, "Old Thunder Ghost, you must have water in your head. The Eternal Dragon Emperor's sins are monstrous. He almost ordered the devils to destroy our Dragon God Domain, and he even attempted to destroy the Battlefield of the Gods, claiming that the gods of the Battlefield of the Gods were puppets. Such a treacherous person is not worthy of being a member of our human race. As for his son, he even destroyed the hope of our human race that lasted for millions of years. He killed the blood and sweat of the first Dragon Emperor. The entire human race can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, yet you are telling me that you want to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. Can you not make such a joke? I have known you for so many years, but I didn't know that there was something wrong with your head."
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded their heads. Clearly, he had spoken the thoughts in everyone's hearts. Even Gong Qing's disciple had no choice but to stand on Mu Huang's side. At this moment, Gong Qing was being condemned by thousands of people. Long Chen did not expect such an intense situation to occur. He did not know what kind of courage this old man had to bring him to stand here.
Facing Mu Huang's intense questioning, Gong Qing laughed coldly and said, "You stubborn old man, your wooden brain has long rotted away. Do you still know what thinking is? It's not like I don't know that you were once crushed by the followers of the Eternal Dragon Emperor. Don't talk about your personal grudges here, don't make me feel that you are very old and laughable. I have already said that everything about this child's father has nothing to do with him. Don't force a rare genius away. Also, I will not say another word to you. The decision of our Dragon City of Life team can only be made by two out of the three of us, Xing Yue."
As he spoke till here, he looked towards the purple-robed middle-aged man who had been silent all this while.
Three Thousand Star Soul Dragon, Xing Yue.
Xing Yue's gaze that was like a resplendent starry sky swept over.
"Xing Yue, what do you think?"
Gong Qing said with a resolute gaze.
Xing Yue's opinion became the key.
Mu Huang was extremely furious. He said to Xing Yue, "You have to think carefully. Don't bring another calamity to the Human Race. Of course, this little thing has not reached the Samsara Realm and does not have the ability to do so. Even if the Eternal Dragon Emperor's sins have nothing to do with him, the fact that he killed Di Yu has caused the world to be enraged. We definitely cannot let him off lightly."
Xing Yue did not listen to him. He took a few steps forward and circled around Long Chen. Finally, he said, "Child, what do you say?"
Long Chen was fearless. His gaze was resolute as he said in a clear voice, "I am very grateful for Elder Gong's trust in me. As for everyone's denial of me, I have my own thoughts. First of all, regarding Di Yu, regardless of his innate talent, he went against me. I have never regretted killing him. Perhaps everyone sees him as the future hope of the Human Race, but who can say for sure what the future holds? With his personality, if he died at my hands, he would die at the hands of others in the future. Let's not talk about how such a person is, he is just an illusory dream. Other than the matter of Di Yu, I do not believe that I have done anything wrong to the Human Race. Of course, killing Di Yu does not count. As for the so-called seeking refuge with the Spirit Race, it is because I could no longer stay in the Human Race and had no choice but to let my friends take me away. If everyone thinks that this is seeking refuge with the Spirit Race, then I can only say that everyone is ignorant."
At this point, he looked around and said word by word, "Lastly, regarding the matter of my father, I can say that I firmly believe that my father has never betrayed his ancestors. Helping him wash away the non-existent humiliation is my life's goal. However, today, I do not have any evidence or power. However, I will not give up because of any obstacles. I will not say what will happen to me one day. All I want to say is that everyone can give me this opportunity. Let us wait and see."
It took an extraordinary amount of courage for him to say all of this.
Many people had never seen Long Chen speak before, so they didn't know that he had such courage. If they put aside their previous impression of him, they suddenly felt that this youth was sincere, tenacious, valiant, and would rather die than submit. He had so many valuable qualities that people couldn't help but feel warm.
Long Chen did not finish his words. He paused for a second and raised his voice. His disdainful temperament arose. He was like a king in the sky, looking down at all his subjects. He said, "Today, I am here to participate in the Star Lord Competition for the Dragon City of Life. I have the ability to make the team of the Dragon City of Life have a greater chance of winning the championship. If you have any doubts about my words, you can challenge me here. I, Long Chen, will accept as many challenges as you want."
