Beitang Rushuang actually sided with Long Chen. Clearly, as long as Long Chen left, she would leave with him.
Nangong Zuiyue also stood alongside Beitang Rushuang, clearly making her stance clear, which moved all the strong figures present.
If two of the four great immortal families left, the Ancient and Modern Heroes Gathering organized by the Dongfang family would become a joke, making Dongfang Yuyang's expression change.
With the two great Longevity families not participating, and the First Alliance of the Tianwu Continent withdrawing, does that mean holding this Ancient and Modern Heroes Gathering still holds meaning?
"The Heroes of All Ages Gathering—without Long Chen, it really wouldn't be much meaning. I had no choice but to leave. I'm sorry for letting down Brother Dongfang's kindness." Hu Feng in the crowd also cupped his fists apologetically toward Dongfang Yuyang.
"It seems I really came at the wrong time. I just arrived and was about to leave." Ziyan glanced at everyone, then at Long Chen, and couldn't help but speak.
Although she still hadn't figured out what was going on, the meaning was clear: if Long Chen left, she would also refuse to participate in this Ancient and Modern Heroes Gathering.
Everyone was shocked; they hadn't expected Long Chen to wield such powerful influence and involve so many factions.
Not only were everyone shocked, even Long Chen himself was shocked. The reason he left was because of his own difficulties.
Long Chen knew that if he stayed, that bastard Zhao Wuji would have a sharp tongue and who knows what kind of nasty words he might say.
Long Chen would never endure temporarily just because this was the Eastern family. This would go against the will of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique, and he couldn't control himself.
But Long Chen didn't expect that Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang, representing two great families, would actually stand with him. There were only two possibilities: one was that they stood up for him, and the other was that the four great immortal families were not as closely connected as he imagined.
Perhaps their arrival also carried some kind of mission, but regardless of the reason, their side with Long Chen made him feel grateful.
However, Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang were on his side. Although he was surprised, he could still understand. However, since Ziyan was also on his side, he was somewhat puzzled.
Moreover, Long Chen always felt that Ziyan now seemed different from before, but he couldn't quite explain exactly what had changed.
"You are all peerless prodigies. You wouldn't let a trivial matter ruin our relationship, would you? Wouldn't that be the scoffes of all cultivators across the land?"
Actually, the main fault of this matter lies with Yuyang. Because there are many things to attend to, he didn't attend to them thoroughly and failed to address everyone's taboos, which led to the conflict.
I hope everyone can show Yuyang a little respect. This matter is settled here. Brother Long, what do you think?" Dongfang Yuyang said.
Dongfang Yuyang had already lowered his stance very low. Long Chen acting so recklessly was clearly in the wrong, yet Dongfang Yuyang had taken responsibility upon himself, giving Long Chen plenty of face. If Long Chen left again, it would be a sign of not knowing how to treat him.
"Brother Yuyang, you are a dragon among men. I'm not targeting you on purpose, but some people have gone too far, pushing their noses and getting carried away, and they've been spoiled until they've gotten sick.
The reason I don't want to stay is because I don't want to cause trouble for Brother Yuyang any longer. If some idiot keeps saying the same things, I won't be able to resist killing him, and that would only make things harder for Brother Yuyang. That would be pointless. Long Chen said.
Dongfang Yuyang was a person so perfect that he had almost no flaws, handling matters flawlessly and with a commanding presence. Especially regarding Long Chen, he had clearly defended him.
Long Chen actually didn't want to leave either; he wanted to see how much his elixir could sell for and see if he could buy something good at the auction.
But this Zhao Wuji was just too disgusting. If this weren't the Eastern Family, Long Chen would have gone all out to kill him.
"Don't worry about that, Brother Long. From today on, Yuyang will be responsible for accompanying you all. I believe everyone will show Yuyang some respect." Dongfang Yuyang said with a smile.
"Alright then, you've said it this far. If I leave again, I'll be really letting you down." Since they had given him a way out, Long Chen decided to take advantage of the situation.
As a result, Zhao Wuji, Shi Lingfeng, and the others looked slightly embarrassed. But if they targeted Long Chen now, it would clearly be a slap in the face to Dongfang Yuyang. They just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
With this, under Dongfang Yuyang's suppression, the turmoil eased. A faint smile appeared on Beitang Rushuang's face. She knew that as long as she and Nangong Zuiyue sided with Long Chen, Dongfang Yuyang would definitely have to give in.
"Thank you." Long Chen sent a voice transmission to Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang, feeling very grateful for their help.
Long Chen also cupped his hands slightly to Hu Feng to express his gratitude. The fact that Hu Feng stood by Long Chen meant he also regarded him as a friend.
Because Hu Feng is the heir of the Gambling Heavenly Dao, mysterious and formidable, he commands fear from countless experts. Even here, he still holds a formidable position.
Not having to leave the Eastern Castle, Ye Lingshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When Qu Jianying first came, he had repeatedly warned her to keep an eye on Long Chen and not let him cause trouble.
But Long Chen was impossible to keep an eye on. If he went back this time, Qu Jianying would probably get angry and get hurt by them.
Not only did she fail to maintain good relations with the major powers, she also made enemies everywhere. If she just returned like this, she really wouldn't know how to report back.
The new auction hall had already been set up. It must be said, the Oriental Family was extremely efficient. Upon entering the hall the second time, Long Chen was still seated at the very back.
Ye Lingshan, Ye Zhiqiu, Nangong Zuiyue, and Beitang Rushuang also arrived, but to Long Chen's surprise, Ziyan also showed up.
"I don't know if Fang is convenient." Ziyan smiled faintly.
"Convenient, of course, please have a seat." Long Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. Ziyan's earlier statement was also a gesture of goodwill. Although Long Chen didn't know her final stance, her earlier gesture showed goodwill.
Ziyan slowly sat down and greeted the women. Ziyan carried a mysterious Dao aura; every movement she made contained the heavenly will, and her voice was as pleasant as celestial music. Even Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang treated her with great respect.
Especially Nangong Zuiyue, who after just a few words with him, he made Ziyan a confidant, looking as if they had met too late.
Ziyan's insights and insights resonated deeply with Nangong Zuiyue's. Both were constantly comprehending the ways of heaven and earth, and in just a few words, they had become confidants, holding hands and discussing things in low voices.
Long Chen held Ye Zhiqiu's hand, chatting with Beitang Rushuang and Ye Lingshan, while also keeping an eye on the commotion ahead.
"Long Chen, you don't need to guard against me. I think from now on, we should no longer be enemies." Suddenly, Ziyan sent a soul message.
"Really?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask in delight.
"It's true. The grandmaster ancestor said that with the arrival of a great era comes great darkness.
At this moment, everyone should unite against the enemy and defend the Tianwu Continent together. Whether demon lord or hero, as long as they choose the right direction, their name will be remembered for generations. Ziyan said, her voice clearly carrying a sense of relief and joy.
"That so-called Hit Demon Star," Long Chen asked tentatively.
You have to know, Ziyan once confided in him that Long Chen was her destined demon star. Even now, Long Chen still doesn't understand which king this painful claim isBaduzi just came out of it blindly.
Ziyan firmly believed this, always believing the two were destined enemies and always hoping to save the demon Long Chen.
But when it comes to Ziyan, Long Chen really can't bring himself to kill her, so Ziyan has always been a source of concern for him.
Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Thoughts arise from the heart, demons arise from the heart, and inner demons are also a form of trial."
I promise the grandmaster that I will overcome my inner demons and never harm you. Hmm, anyway, from now on, we won't be enemies anymore. Long
Chen didn't notice that as she spoke, a trace of sadness appeared deep in Ziyan's eyes.
To no longer be an enemy of Long Chen, she promised Miaole Immortal Palace she would never fall in love with him, and swore an oath before the ancestors of all generations.
Although she no longer had to be an enemy of Long Chen because of the sect's fate, from then on, their relationship would never deepen further.
"As long as you're not an enemy, that's fine. Honestly, every time you block my way, I feel a bit uncomfortable." Long Chen laughed, so caught up in his joy that he didn't notice the trace of sadness deep in Ziyan's eyes.
"Brother Kun, haha, you finally came."
At that moment, Dongfang Yuyang, who was personally in charge of receiving everyone, laughed heartily and stood up to welcome someone inside.
As soon as that person entered, all the powerful figures in the hall couldn't help but shrink their pupils and recognize his identity.
"Kunpengzi, he's actually awakened too." Beitang Rushuang was also shocked.
"Who is Kunpengzi?" Long Chen asked.
"Could it be that he is..." Ye Lingshan's face was already a bit pale.
"Yes, the Kunpeng Son, the Son of the Peng Emperor, with twin wings that slash through myriad paths, one claw slays the prodigy, with the Peng Emperor's bloodline flowing in his veins, known as the strongest among the Xuan Beast Clan." Nangong Zuiyue also looked at the man and nodded.
"He is a true prince, said to have inherited all the true teachings of the Peng Emperor. Now awakening, he is probably here to attain enlightenment." Ziyan chimed in.
Peng Emperor is one of the true Three Emperors, recognized by history as a formidable figure. His reputation is second only to the Great Emperor, the son of Peng Emperor, and a direct bloodline—truly remarkable.
Long Chen looked at Kunpengzi. This man was nine feet tall, not particularly tall among the Xuan Beast clan, but his vitality surged to the heavens, fierce and fierce, and he was exceptionally domineering.
This man's face was as sharp as a knife, his nose was extremely high, with a faint hook, and symbols flickering in his eyes.
"A Thunder Cultivator?" Long Chen was momentarily stunned.
"Yes, the Peng Emperor was born to control thunder, and its destructive power is terrifying. Kunpengzi is the son of the Peng Emperor, so naturally he possesses all of Peng Emperor's abilities." Beitang Rushuang replied.
Kunpengzi entered the main hall, nodded to Dongfang Yuyang, said nothing, then turned to Long Chen and walked straight over.
