Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 5299 Mysterious Place

Chapter 5299 Mysterious Place

With a single slash of his saber, Long Chen ended the lives of the remaining traitors, causing the elders face to turn extremely sour.

The elder had tried to stop Long Chen for two reasons: first, he wanted to gather information on Jiang Yiming. Second, he hoped to convert those powerful traitors back to their side. After all, they could be a significant force for Tianyu City. However, Long Chen disregarded his opinion and killed them anyway, not giving him any face at all.

After the traitors were slain, Long Chen sheathed Evilmoon and turned to the dark-faced elder. He said, Elder Xiang, you dont need to wear that expression. First of all, any secrets that they have are worthless. In front of absolute power, schemes are worthless. Second, if they were disloyal once, they can never be trusted again. They arent children, so they know the consequences of betraying Tianyu City. Since they chose to do so, they have to endure the consequences of this decision.

But you cant just kill them outright without investigation. What if they were falsely accused? Elder Xiang argued.

Falsely accused? The moment they attacked me, their lives belonged to me. It doesnt matter whether they were good or badonce someone tries to kill me, they forfeit their life, responded Long Chen.

Suddenly, a wave of icy killing intent emanated from Long Chen, sending a shiver through everyone present. It was as if he had transformed into an entirely different person.

In a sharp tone, Long Chen added, I owe Tianyu City a favor, but that doesnt give you the right to question my methods. I hope you understand that.

Long Chens voice was filled with anger. After all, he had come to help them, and yet they still criticized him.

Hearing this, Elder Xiang was flustered with indignation. Long Chen was too wild and domineering, not leaving any room for compromise.

Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, please calm down. You misunderstand Elder Xiang, Li Yunhua interjected, trying to ease the tension. Hes concerned about killing innocent people or missing valuable information. Maybe some of these traitors were forced into this.

Li Yunhua was a bit closer to Long Chen compared to her peers, so she had no choice but to step forward, trying to diffuse the situation. She hoped Long Chen would give her face and not go overboard.

When Long Chen saw her step up, his expression softened slightly. He said, As a disciple of this new era, allow me to teach you a lesson. Remember my words.

Everyone instantly fell silent, listening intently to his words.

No matter the reason for their actions, they are still unforgivable. Their treachery would have doomed all of Tianyu City. When blood runs through this citys streets, do you feel like they will care about your feelings? Will they feel bad for you? Even if they do, so what? Can you resurrect the dead once lives have been lost? Must you wait for a tragedy before feeling justified in hating someone? You can never be soft-hearted against traitors!

Long Chens words shook their hearts. This was true. No matter their reasons or how pitiful they might be, a betrayal was a betrayal. People willing to sacrifice others in this manner were undeserving of sympathy.

Who else is a traitor? Do you want me to handle it, or will you step forward yourselves? Long Chen declared.

The crowd froze in shockwere there more traitors among them?

I am ashamed. The fault lies entirely with me. I beg of you, dont cast your hatred toward my family. They are innocent. Thank you, said one elder.

He then stepped forward and slammed his head with his palm, ending his life on the spot. He was a two-vein Human Emperor.

Im sorry. Why did I do something so foolish? said another, as he also took his own life.

As the traitors died one after another, the anger of those watching began to wane, replaced by a sense of sorrow. These individuals, though traitors, had once been their comrades. Witnessing their sorrowful end was too much for some people, so they turned away in grief.

Seeing so many come forward voluntarily, Elder Xiang and the other elders didnt know how to feel. But Long Chen had been rightthese traitors could never be forgiven. Their deaths would serve as a reminder to all and a deterrent to future betrayals.

It seems that some people dont have the courage, Long Chen commented, turning to Elder Xiang.

Gritting his teeth, Elder Xiang signaled to his subordinates, who immediately apprehended several others hiding among the crowd. These individuals had hoped to escape unnoticed, but they were all killed on the spot.

In truth, they had gotten the list of traitors long ago. Chu He had hoped to extract information about Jiang Yimings plans from them, but now that they were exposed, there was no need for further delay.

By the time that the traitors were dealt with, the ground was stained red with their blood. The sheer carnage left even the most hardened experts in a state of shock.

This day would mark a significant turning point in Tianyu Citys historya lesson that would be etched into the minds of future generations.

Bury those who took their own lives. No one is to blame their family members or discriminate against their descendants. Anyone who defies this will be severely punished, announced Elder Xiang.

Looking at the other traitors bodies, Elder Xiang coldly added, Unrepentant things... Toss their corpses into the wilderness!

Once the dead were dealt with, Elder Xiang turned to Liao Yong. You idiot, you will pay for your foolishness. Seal him in the Heavenly Yin Blood Prison!

No! No, kill me, kill me now! Xiang Yifeng, I curse you! If you have guts, kill me now! I curse your entire family! All your children will have terrible deaths... Liao Yong shrieked as he was dragged away, desperately trying to provoke Elder Xiang into giving him a quick death.

However, Elder Xiang was unmoved, demanding Liao Yong to be taken away like a rabid dog.

As Liao Yongs wails faded, Elder Xiang departed, his expression cold. Long Chens attitude had clearly angered him. However, another elder quickly approached Long Chen to apologize on Elder Xiangs behalf, explaining that he wasnt normally so hot-tempered.

In truth, Long Chens terrifying methods had won over everyone. After all, experts respected the strong. Although Long Chen was too domineering for their tastes, they felt like this was the attitude that a supreme expert should have.

Long Chen simply smiled and dismissed the apology. He had encountered many people like Elder Xiang, those who needed to have absolute control over every situation. Although Elder Xiang wasnt a bad person, Long Chen didnt particularly like him. Still, Long Chen wouldnt hold a grudge as he wasnt so petty.

Relieved that Long Chen wasnt offended, the disciples of Tianyu City gazed at him with admiration. He had become an idol to them, though they now hesitated to approach him. Even the ones who had previously talked to him excitedly were now nervous.

Finally, one disciple gathered the courage to speak. Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, weve heard of a mysterious place within the devil creatures domain. Would you be interested in exploring it?

Are you trying to kill senior apprentice-brother Long Chen?!

Before Long Chen could respond, several peoples expressions changed, and someone shouted, Are you trying to get senior apprentice-brother Long Chen killed?!
