However, the eight great elders weren't that gullible, especially Situ Yao, he knew the truth. When the old man saw Long Chen reneging on his promise, the eight great elders looked at each other and made a decision. They didn't want to waste any more time. They could only take it by force. If Bai Lan showed up, they didn't know what would happen.
Therefore, the eight of them looked at each other and moved. They didn't care that Su Xue and Soyeon were still there. They moved towards Long Chen. The eight of them were in the ninth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Long Chen couldn't even deal with one of them, let alone nine.
Su Xue was the only one, so she could only deal with one of them. However, they didn't dare to hurt her.
"Let's do it."
The eight of them moved in a flash. Their speed was so fast that it was an eye-opener for everybody, especially those ordinary warriors. They wanted to get a share of the loot, but now it seemed that they didn't have any hope.
Su Xue and Soyeon were extremely worried. They hadn't thought that these guys would be so shameless. At that moment, their faces were red with anger.
"Big brother, be careful." Soyeon reminded Long Chen.
She didn't know that Long Chen could even kill cultivators in the eighth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. When he said that he killed Chen Yang, she thought that it was Su Xue who killed him.
However, Long Chen wasn't worried at all. This was because he saw that Bai Lan and Lei Ji couldn't bear it any longer. Just as the Eight Great Elders were about to attack, Bai Lan and Lei Ji suddenly appeared in front of Long Chen. Bai Lan gently waved her hand, and suddenly, an invisible light wave spread out in all directions. This invisible wave directly sent the Eight Great Elders flying. They staggered on the ground for a while, and almost fell to the ground.
Their faces were filled with shock. Sure enough, it was Bai Lan.
Bai Lan didn't seem to be giving them any face. No matter what, they were working hard for the sake of the Devil Race. It was fine if Bai Lan didn't help them, but how could she block them? She didn't give them any face.
At this time, the Eight Great Elders had gathered together, coldly glaring at the indifferent smiles on Bai Lan and Lei Ji's faces. Somewhat angry, one of the Eight Great Elders took a few steps forward, and under the puzzled gazes of the other Demon Race disciples, he directly questioned Bai Lan, "What was the meaning of the Patriarch's actions just now? We Elders only wanted to add another Seven Monarchs' inheritance to the Demon Race and increase the Demon Race's strength, why did the Patriarch suddenly act against us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other experts of the Demon race began discussing. They also hoped that they could get a share of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords' legacy after the Demon race obtained it.
Within the crowd of the Demon race, Situ Yu was hidden. He was originally waiting for Situ Yao's good news, but he didn't think such a big thing would happen. When he arrived, Situ Yao had already returned to his original clothes and stood together with the other Elders.
Situ Yu thought for a long time, and after hearing what Long Chen said, he finally understood what exactly happened. It must be that when Long Chen was cultivating, Su Xue was actually by his side, and that caused his grandfather's plan to fail. But what he couldn't believe was that Long Chen actually killed Chen Yang. That was too exaggerated.
Before, Situ Yu thought that Chen Xu could kill Long Chen, but he didn't think that Chen Xu would die, and then Chen Yang would do it. Chen Yang was in the eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm, the same level as Situ Yu. If Chen Yang died, didn't that mean that Situ Yu was no match for Long Chen?
"This Long Chen is actually so abnormal. If he can kill Chen Yang, maybe he can even fight me to a draw. However, I'm only a little bit away from the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm. When I reach the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm, hehe …"
At that moment, everyone looked at Bai Lan with puzzled gazes.
Another elder said, "Patriarch, are you going to protect him just because he saved Princess Yan 'er's life? Between the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords and the life of a mere daughter, which one is more important? Patriarch, you should know clearly which one is more important. If you lose the' public 'for' personal 'reasons, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince us."
That person's words were very sharp, and many people strongly agreed with him. The Demon Clan had risen because of the inheritance of the Demon God Emperor. The inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords could make the Demon Clan's strength reach an unprecedented level. If Bai Lan gave up the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords because of his daughter, perhaps the others would have a problem with it.
Soyeon was so angry that she cried. It was the first day that she realized that these uncles who were usually very good to her were so hateful. They actually wanted to use her life to exchange for the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
"Bastard!"
Su Xue could not help but curse. She was about to argue, but Long Chen told her to keep quiet. He knew that Bai Lan would have a solution. Although the other side was overbearing, Bai Lan always had a faint smile on his face.
Everything was probably under his control.
At that moment, Bai Lan's gaze turned and swept across everyone's eyes with a profound gaze. Only then did the one who had spoken out of the eight great elders worry. Only then did he remember that Bai Lan was a cultivator in the second level of the Sky Martial realm. He might even be the strongest cultivator in the entire Myriad Kingdoms Domain.
Bai Lan's smiling gaze did indeed hide a trace of bone-chilling killing intent. Only then did everyone remember that Bai Lan was famous for doting on his daughter. He looked young, but he was already several hundred years old. He had been immersed in the path of martial arts for all these years, only marrying a wife twenty years ago and giving birth to two daughters. As a result, he doted on his two daughters very much. In his heart, they were even more important than the entire Demon Clan.
Yet, the eight great elders wanted to sacrifice his daughters for the sake of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
If Bai Lan had nothing to worry about, perhaps he would have killed everyone to vent his anger. However, he could not do that. After all, he was still the patriarch of the Demon Clan. He had to inform the race that had been passed down through generations.
As a result, while everyone was pressuring Long Chen, Bai Lan laughed loudly. He extended his hand and pulled Long Chen to his side. Only after looking around did he say mysteriously, "You must be joking with me. Don't you know that the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords has long been ours?"
Everyone was rather confused by Bai Lan's words.
"What does the patriarch mean?" asked the great elders in confusion.
"You really are a bunch of idiots. You can't even understand such a simple question."
With that, Bai Lan suddenly pulled Su Xue over. Under everyone's stunned gazes, Bai Lan held their hands together and said, "Alright, since there are so many people here today, I'll make an announcement. From today onwards, Long Chen is my son-in-law. We are engaged today, and the wedding will be held on a later date. Long Chen is a member of my Bai family, as well as a member of the Demon Clan. Now that the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords has recognized him as its master, doesn't that mean that the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords belongs to the Demon Clan?"
Bai Lan's words left everyone dumbfounded.
Under Bai Lan's great strength, Long Chen did not resist at all. He held Su Xue's soft fingers together. He could sense that Su Xue also wanted to struggle, but Bai Lan did not allow it. While the two of them were still in a daze, Bai Lan's soft voice rang out.
"Don't move. This is the best method without bloodshed. I don't want the Demon Clan to have internal strife for the time being. Just pretend to sacrifice yourself."
Since it was just an act, Long Chen did not mind it too much. He could only cultivate the Seven Coloured Star Body in the Cyanwood Heavenly City. Furthermore, he had to stay here to help Suyan survive for a hundred days. So, it did not matter what kind of identity he was given.
Long Chen also did not want to make things difficult for Bai Lan. After all, he was the patriarch of the Demon Clan. Everything he did had to be done in the interest of the Demon Clan. If he did not do this, it would not be good for anyone.
Su Xue also understood Bai Lan's meaning. But to be arranged like this, and to be held by an unfamiliar man in front of so many people, Su Xue's heartbeat sped up and her face turned red.
The others had yet to react. The only one whose heart was broken was Soyeon. In front of her, she saw Long Chen and Su Xue being pulled together by her father. She immediately felt like the world was collapsing.
"Big brother … Big sister …"
Seeing them together, Soyeon suddenly wanted to cry. She did not know why, but she felt very sad.
However, no one paid attention to her.
"Patriarch, you …" The elders were rendered speechless by Bai Lan's words.
Indeed, they kept saying that they were doing this for the sake of the Demon race. Now, Bai Lan was very straightforward, directly making Long Chen the son-in-law of the Demon race. This was similar to marrying into the Demon race. Long Chen had already become a member of the Bai Clan, so wouldn't his Seven Brilliance Star Lord inheritance also belong to the Demon race?
In reality, everyone knew that the most precious Three Thousand Star Domain had already recognized Long Chen as its master. Unless Long Chen was killed, it could not be changed. Long Chen was the son-in-law of the Demon Clan's patriarch. He was already a member of the Demon Clan. How could they do this?
Moreover, there was another very important problem. If the owner of the Three Thousand Star Field were to change hands, who would be the successor? None of the Eight Great Sect Elders were willing to submit to anyone else.
Therefore, it could be said that Bai Lan's move directly suppressed the eight great elders' words.
"What? You can disregard my daughter's life, but you also want to kill my son-in-law? Then let me ask you, is it the Demon Clan that needs the Seven Brilliance Star Lord's inheritance, or is it one of you who covets it? Do you really think that I, Bai Lan, am a pushover that anyone can bully?"
