Chapter 4969: Parliament Hearing

Within the Long clans parliamentary hall, everyone who should be present had gathered. The one who shouldnt have been there was also in attendance: Long Chen.

The moment Long Chen entered, all eyes turned sharply toward him, their gazes piercing like swords. The air grew thick with palpable tension and brewing hostility.

Just days ago, this very hall had hosted an assembly to determine the Long clans stance toward Long Chen, yet no conclusive decision had been reached. Now, with an even heavier atmosphere, it felt more akin to a trial. Every member present stared at Long Chen in stony silence.

Three of the four Heavenly Saints had come. After the Heaven Overseer entered alongside Long Chen, he sat down in his own spot.

Long Chens gaze swept over the elders, a sardonic smile on his lips. It seems that I have no choice but to be here. Otherwise, you wont be able to carry out the assembly. Who wouldve guessed that I, Long Chen, hold such a crucial role in your affairs."

After saying that, Long Chen swaggered in, completely ignoring everyones murderous gaze.

Trying to apply mental pressure on him? The Heaven Overseer had long since exposed their tricks to him. Just who was afraid of who?

Everyone had their own seat, except Long Chen. They were clearly planning to hold the assembly as if Long Chen was on trial.

However, if they thought this tactic would unsettle Long Chen, they underestimated him. Without hesitation, Long Chen approached Long Qianxue and took a seat beside her.

Long Chen spoke with such authority that an outsider might mistake him for the clan leader holding a trial for someone else.

Long Qianxue stared at Long Chen with an odd expression, but a trace of admiration appeared in her eyes. His courage and insight set him apart from all other Long clan disciples. Other than Long Tianrui, she didnt know anyone else this bold.

Who do you think you are to sit there?! Long Zaiyes furious roar echoed through the hall as he stood up in protest.

That seat had originally belonged to Long Zaiye, but it had been taken by Long Zhantian. Now, Long Chen occupied it.

Glancing at Long Zaiye, Long Chens eyes widened in mock surprise. Oh, its you! That day on the martial stage, your disappearing act was quite impressive!

Long Chen directly touched a nerve. On that day, when Long Zaiye had vanished from the stage, it was evident to everyone that he had fled.

Of course, some brainless people thought that Long Zaiye had been obliterated into a mist of blood, much like Long Qingyun.

Hearing that rumor, Long Zaiye was seething with fury but felt powerless to dispel it. Now, as Long Chen brought it up again, he trembled with anger.

Long Zaiye pointed at Long Chen, his voice shaking with fury. I-

Do you know that at this distance, I can slap you whenever I want? What? Have you gotten addicted to being slapped after last time? Is your face itchy now? asked Long Chen.

You

I? You? Did I stab you too deeply last time? Do you not even know how to speak anymore? asked Long Chen.

Long Zaiyes face turned red and inflated like a pigs head. Suddenly, blood sprayed out of his mouth as he coughed up blood from anger.

As if expecting this, Long Chen opened an umbrella that had appeared in his hand. The blood landed on the umbrella, not a single drop missing.

With a casual wave, Long Chen sent the umbrella back into the primal chaos space. This was the pure essence blood of a Heaven Saint imbued with heaven vein energy, too valuable to waste. Evilmoon could absorb it.

Ill kill you! Long Zaiye snapped, his rage boiling over as Long Chen mercilessly tore his old wounds. He had never experienced such humiliation, especially in front of so many people. As he lunged forward, several individuals restrained him.

To tell the truth, with your power, your life must have been miserable. If you cant vent your rage, you should just swallow it, Long Chen solemnly advised him.

Telling someone to swallow their rage was akin to telling them to choke on their own bile and die. Even a person with a calm demeanor would struggle to endure such an insult, let alone someone as hot-tempered as Long Zaiye.

That is enough. This is the parliamentary assembly. By cursing each other and causing a clamor like you dont know the rules, do you not respect me? The clan leader finally spoke, his voice thundering through the hall. His reprimand was so intense that Long Chens ears shook.

This wizened old mans pressure was not inferior to the first Heavenly Saints, causing Long Chen to feel a moment of light-headedness. When Long Chen saw the clan leader glaring at him, his anger surged.

Im not the only one causing a ruckus, nor am I the only one cursing! What are you staring at me for? Shouldnt one of your eyes be on him?!

Beside Long Chen, Long Qianxue burst into laughter. Realizing this wasnt the appropriate place for such a reaction, she hastily turned her head. When she faced forward again, her smile was gone, replaced by her usual icy appearance.

However, the mirth in her eyes could not be concealed. Long Chens words were truly lethal, catching even the icy Long Qianxue off-guard.

This tense atmosphere was instantly shattered by Long Qianxues laughter. Although she quickly covered it up, the atmosphere grew a bit odd.

The clan leader looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen looked back at the clan leader. Neither was willing to concede. The clan leaders gaze was like a blade. Although his combat power was inferior to Long Qihuas, his cultivation base was on the same level, and his gaze contained his will. No disciple dared to meet his eyes.

However, Long Chens strongest point was his indomitable will. Countless brushes with death had forged his will into an unbreakable foundation. He was not afraid of anyones attempt to intimidate him.

The assembly hall grew quiet. Long Zaiye gritted his teeth in his seat, knowing he couldnt continue acting recklessly after the clan leaders intervention.

After a while, realizing he couldnt suppress Long Chen, the clan leader sat back down, his expression gloomy.

Tell me, Long Chen, why have you willfully slaughtered so many disciples of my Long clan without reason?
