If Bai Lan wasn't willing to put in the effort, Long Chen would probably be in danger. However, Long Chen wasn't worried for now. After all, Soyeon still needed him. As long as Soyeon needed him, Bai Lan wouldn't give up on Long Chen. He would also help Long Chen deal with all the troubles.
There was nothing to be afraid of. When the news spread, Long Chen became calm.
The most depressed person would probably be Situ Yao. At that moment, Situ Yao hadn't left. He was hiding a few miles away. After hearing the news, his expression changed. He punched a tree trunk and his expression became incomparably sinister.
"Chen Yang, that idiot. He actually shouted this out. Damn it. It won't be easy to get the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords. Even if the two patriarchs don't have any ideas, the Seven Sons of Thunder and the eight elders of the demon race will."
"Today's plan has completely failed. I didn't expect Suxue to be up there as well. I didn't expect Long Chen to still be alive. Damn it. I, Situ Yao, am completely screwed this time."
He could only quickly change his attire. He could feel that there was such a huge commotion up there. It even involved the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords. At that moment, almost everyone in the Cyanwood City was mobilized. Their only goal was Long Chen up there and the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords up there. Among them, the eight elders of the demon race and the Seven Sons of Thunder ran the fastest. The position of the Seven Sons of Thunder in the Thunder Clan was similar to the eight elders of the demon race. They were all at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm.
In the Thunder Clan, only Lei Ji knew that Long Chen had the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
There was a total of over a thousand people. They were heading towards where Long Chen was. Long Chen didn't even need to think to know how big the commotion would be down there.
"What should we do? Everyone is jealous of the Seven Lords' legacy, including the Eight Great Elders. Now that everyone knows, what should we do?"
Su Xue couldn't make up her mind and could only helplessly look at Long Chen. She originally thought that he was only strong in alchemy, she didn't expect him to be so strong as well. Long Chen's last move was something that even Su Xue was afraid of, so she vaguely regarded Long Chen as her pillar of support.
"Go down, don't worry."
Long Chen's expression did not change. Now that things had come to this, he could only play it by ear. He originally thought that his trip to the Cyanwood Heavenly City would be very smooth. He never expected that two days after he came here to cultivate, two incidents would happen.
The speed of his descent was very fast. Before the crowd could even descend, Long Chen had already landed in the sky above the Cyanwood Heavenly City. In the dark night, everyone saw the appearance of the youth. Only then did they stop their footsteps and did not continue to move.
At this moment, even the ordinary martial artists had swarmed into the inner city of the Cyanwood Heavenly City. There were over a thousand ordinary martial artists. Under the drive of greed, they didn't care about anything else. All of them worked together. Even the people from the Devil Clan and Thunder Clan couldn't stop them. However, there was a lack of experts among the ordinary martial artists. So they didn't dare to act rashly. At most, they came to watch the show.
When Long Chen looked over, the heads of the people were moving. All of them were looking at Long Chen with greedy and fiery eyes. Even the beautiful Su Xue beside Long Chen didn't have many people drooling over her.
Within this group of people, the experts from the Devil Clan and Thunder Clan quickly gathered together. They formed into two groups and stood on the left and right of Long Chen. Among them, the eight great elders of the Devil Clan and basically all the elders in the eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm had arrived. The situation of the Thunder Clan was also similar. The only ones that weren't here were probably the two great clan chiefs.
From the Devil Clan, even the little girl Soyeon came out. When she heard Long Chen's name, she quickly rushed out. Only then did she see Long Chen and her sister standing together. The two of them were a perfect match. The man was mighty and the woman was graceful. They looked like a match made in heaven. Soyeon felt sour in her heart and suddenly felt a little sad. However, she still clenched her teeth and walked towards Long Chen.
"Big brother …"
When Long Chen heard the clear and melodious voice, he saw Soyeon. So, he smiled and said, "Yan 'er, why are you here? Big brother has some trouble. Su Xue, you two go back first."
He didn't want to trouble these two girls because of his own matters.
"No, at this time, if I leave, they will be unscrupulous. Yan 'er, don't leave either."
Su Xue made a prompt decision. She looked around and knew that these guys must be coveting Long Chen's inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords. Only because Su Xue was still standing here and Bai Lan hadn't appeared, they could endure it. If even she left, these people would probably directly come up to fight for it. In the Archaic Cemetery, in front of treasures, everything seemed very pale.
Soyeon nodded obediently. She could also see what was going on, so she quickly stood in front of Long Chen to protect him and looked at the others vigilantly.
The two daughters of the demon patriarch were both protecting an outsider. This scene was quite strange. From the eyes of these two beauties, everyone could see their seriousness and determination. Some young men immediately felt extremely envious and jealous. These two princesses were the lovers of their dreams, but now they were standing by Long Chen's side. What was going on?
At this moment, the eight great elders of the demon race looked at each other. This was a guest of the demon race. They could not let the Thunder clan take the lead, nor could they let the noisy ordinary cultivators take the lead. As a result, one of the eight great elders immediately stepped forward and said to Long Chen loudly, "Long Chen, my young friend, I heard that you obtained the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords. Do you know that the Seven Brilliance Star Lords are one of the Seven Lords? The inheritance is extremely precious. In the hands of a powerful person, it can help them expand their territory and protect their country. In the hands of a weak person, it will only lead to a reign of terror and countless deaths. You're still young and can't use the power of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords. Our demon race is on good terms with you, and the two princesses have a good relationship with you as well. Why don't you hand the inheritance to us for safekeeping? When you have the strength to use it, we'll return it to you. How about it?"
These words sounded dignified, but there was only one meaning: hand over the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
Hearing the old man's words, the others cursed in their hearts. Of course, other than the demons, the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords could no longer belong to a single person. Instead, it belonged to a race. None of the eight great elders could monopolize the inheritance, unless they were like Si Tu Yao and used a scheme to snatch it without anyone knowing.
Long Chen's eyes did not look at the old man. Instead, he looked past him and at Si Tu Yao behind him. At this moment, Si Tu Yao's attire, expression, and actions were no different from the other elders. It was very difficult to imagine that he had transformed into a black-clothed man to snatch Long Chen's things.
Long Chen had the Spirit Devouring Demon Eyes, so he was already very familiar with the aura of Si Tu Yao's soul. He was about 80% certain that Si Tu Yao was the black-clothed man from before.
Of course, he could only suppress this matter in his heart. After all, Si Tu Yao was probably even angrier right now. Furthermore, the eight great elders had openly asked for the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
Apart from the demons, the ordinary cultivators only dared to curse in their hearts. Before things got chaotic, they did not dare to make a move. As for the people of the Thunder clan and the Seven Scions of the Thunder clan, they were extremely silent after arriving. They did not say a single word, so no one knew what they were talking about.
The Thunder clan actually had some intentions of attaching themselves to the demons. Even now, they probably followed the demons' lead.
However, they definitely had their own thoughts.
Everyone looked at Long Chen, waiting for his decision.
"Uncles, don't be anxious. My father and Uncle Lei are not here yet. There's no rush to deal with this matter after they come. After all, they are the patriarchs of the two races, right? Only the patriarchs can decide on something as important as the Seven Brilliance Star Lords."
Su Xue was very smart. She knew that if she pushed the decision to the patriarchs of the two races, the eight great elders and the Seven Scions of the Thunder clan would have nothing to say.
Among the eight great elders, the expression of the old man who had spoken earlier sank. He continued, "The patriarchs are very busy, so we'll handle this matter on their behalf. In order to prevent any accidents from happening and causing innocent deaths, Long Chen, it's best if you hand the inheritance over to us eight great elders as soon as possible."
Everyone understood that Long Chen was the savior of Bai Lan's daughter, and he would continue to do so. Once Bai Lan arrived, it might be over. Bai Lan had always been unfathomable. The eight great elders only wanted to take action first. What was done could not be undone.
Su Xue froze and revealed an angry expression. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Long Chen stopped her. Long Chen could already sense that Bai Lan and Lei Ji were already nearby.
Looking at their expressions, Long Chen knew that there was nothing to worry about today. These past few days, Bai Lan had allowed Long Chen to cultivate in the sky, so she probably knew that such a day would come. However, at this time, they were watching from the sidelines and didn't seem to have any intention of rushing over. At this time, these two fellows were pointing at the people on the stage, discussing something, and from time to time, a vulgar smile appeared on their faces.
Long Chen discovered that even though they were nearby, they did not discover them. This showed just how impressive the methods of the Heaven realm were.
At this moment, the eight elders were waiting for Long Chen's reply. Their eyes were filled with threats, and their intentions were very clear. If Long Chen was unwilling to hand over the Seven Brilliance Star Lord's legacy, they would "take it" and keep it safe for him.
Long Chen looked at them coldly. Only when everyone could not wait any longer did he say slowly, "Who said I obtained the Seven Brilliance Star Lord's legacy? Do you know what happened just now? It seems like someone called Jiaochen Yang tried to kill me, but I killed him. Do you really believe that some people play tricks before they die?"
