The Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan was packed with people, with millions of Xuan Beast clan experts surrounding the area.
A cold smile appeared on Long Chen's face. The Xuan Beast clan really only remembers their food and not their beatings. Have they found some kind of backing again? Came back to make a scene?
When Long Chen stepped out of the teleportation array, he found that not a single member of the Dragonblood Legion was here, which made him feel a bit strange.
The moment Long Chen stepped out of the teleportation array, the previously noisy venue suddenly fell silent.
All the powerful members of the Xuan Beast clan looked at Long Chen, their eyes filled with awe, but none showed any sign of panic.
"Brother Long Chen, you're back! Hurry to the Cloud Chasing Hall."
Dressed in fine attire, Xiao Yun came over to Long Chen, took his large hand, and ran toward the main hall. The powerful members of the Xuan Beast clan bowed respectfully upon seeing Xiao Yun.
"What's going on?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, Brother Long Chen, you don't know, but our Kunpeng clan, Tianjiu Phoenix clan, and other enemies have all been defeated by us.
Some of these hateful creatures escaped, but in the end, other mysterious beasts brought them before us. Now, all our enemies have been wiped out.
Having lost the Kunpeng clan as their backing, these people are now preparing to elect our Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan as their leader. The leaders of the major powers are all in the Cloud Chasing Hall discussing the matter of investiture with the clan leader.
However, the clan leader did not agree, saying they would discuss it after you returned, Brother Long Chen. Xiaoyun said excitedly.
"Emperor Feng?" Long Chen curled his lips.
"What's wrong?" Isn't it good to be crowned emperor? Our Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan has been suppressed by the Kunpeng clan, but now we can finally hold our heads high. Xiao Yun looked at Long Chen and noticed his somewhat disdainful expression, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You're still too young. There are some things you don't understand yet." Long Chen gently rubbed Xiaoyun's head as he spoke.
The Peng Emperor statue was destroyed, the legacy vanished, the Kunpeng clan was wiped out, and the accomplices like the Tianjiu Phoenix clan were also wiped out. The Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan did have the strength to replace them, but sometimes, things are not so simple.
Long Chen arrived at the Grand Hall of Cloud-Chasing and saw hundreds of powerful members of the Xuan Beast Clan standing at the top. Que Yuzhu and the core elders of the Cloud-Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sparrow clan stood quietly. In the entire hall, only Que Yuzhu was seated.
Before Long Chen entered, voices echoed through the hall, as if discussing something. Once Long Chen entered, the hall instantly fell silent.
"Long Chen, you're finally back. We have something important to discuss with you." Seeing Long Chen enter, Que Yuzhu hurriedly stood up and said.
In front of others, she could sit high and mighty, but in front of Long Chen, although she was the clan leader of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, she never regarded herself as an elder. She always remembered that everything the tribe had so far belonged to Long Chen.
"Chief, you're too polite. Actually, this is an internal matter of your Xuan Beast clan. I'm an outsider and really shouldn't get involved." Long Chen shook his head.
"What are you saying? No matter how time passes or the times change, you, Long Chen, will always be the benefactor of our Chasing Cloud Swallowing Skysparrow clan. Our Chasing Cloud Swallowing Skysparrow clan will always look up to you." Que Yuzhu seemed to sense something and spoke very seriously.
As the clan leader of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, she was more perceptive than others. She seemed to sense something displeased by Long Chen and quickly made her stance clear.
This was what she truly meant: without Long Chen, the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan would still be stuck in their ways. Without Long Chen leading them to stand openly on the Tianwu Continent, they would have been out of touch with the times long ago and destroyed by the Kunpeng clan.
She didn't know why Long Chen was unhappy, but she and the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan would never go against Long Chen's wishes, so her words just now were firm and resolute.
Long Chen nodded, and everyone in the hall said, "In that case, please all go back. The Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan will not become your emperor." "
This ..."
The faces of the experts present changed; they knew why Long Chen said this.
Even the elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan were dumbfounded. What was Long Chen trying to do?
"Actually, our Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan is no weaker than the Kunpeng clan or the Tianjiuhuang clan in terms of strength, bloodline, and heritage. Leading the Xuan Beast clan doesn't seem inappropriate." An elder from the Cloud-Chasing Devouring Sky Sparrow clan stepped forward and said.
"Clan Uncle..." Seeing the old man, Que Yuzhu called out urgently.
Although the elder's cultivation was not strong, his seniority was extremely high—he was Que Yuzhu's elder. Seeing him step forward, Que Yuzhu immediately sensed something was wrong.
The elder of the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan waved his hand and said, "Yuzhu, I understand what you're thinking, but sometimes, it's better to make things clear. After all, we are mystical beasts, our bloodline... Special. As
soon as the old man spoke, Que Yuzhu's expression changed instantly. The old man clearly meant that Long Chen was human, not of the same kind as their Xuan Beast clan.
Although this was not wrong, saying it now clearly showed signs of ingratitude. Long Chen had supported the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, and now that the clan had grown strong, it seemed as if he would kick Long Chen aside and take charge himself.
Thinking of this, Que Yuzhu's expression darkened, his eyes filled with anger. Was this guy senile?
"Clan Leader, our Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan is about to enter its most glorious moment. We will wash away our tens of thousands of years of shame, unify the Xuan Beast Realm, and let our Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan be remembered for generations. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Long Chen, we've always respected and appreciated you, but we really don't understand—why are you stopping us from rising? Is it because we threaten you? Another elder from the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan also stepped forward and questioned Long Chen.
"You ..." Que Yuzhu was furious. Their treatment of Long Chen made murderous intent blaze in her eyes.
"Aunt Que, please don't be angry. What they said isn't wrong." Long Chen said, pulling Que Yuzhu along.
"Since we are not at fault, why do you still want to stop us?" An elder of the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan asked in confusion.
"Could it be that you still hold prejudice against us? If so, we can all kneel down and apologize to you together.
In fact, the reason we have prejudice against the human race is all because of the oppression of the Kunpeng clan. We now long for unity and do not want the Xuan Beast clan to split or fight among the civil war.
The Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan is currently the only one whose all races can admire. We are willing to honor them as emperors, and this doesn't seem to conflict with your interests. A powerful member of the Xuan Beast clan spoke.
The powerful member of the Xuan Beast Clan spoke in a very tactful tone, not confronting Long Chen, but in reality, he used a tone of grievance, deliberately provoking everyone's anger. After the man finished speaking, everyone's attention focused on Long Chen, their eyes filled with doubt and even a hint of anger.
Long Chen smiled, looking at the powerful member of the Xuan Beast clan, then at the elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, and shook his head: "
Do you know why I helped you chase the Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan?"
The elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan were instantly unawareWhat else could he say? Then Long Chen continued:
"Let me put it this way: the effort I, Long Chen, put into the Cloud Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, if used to train disciples of the Tianwu Alliance, would create another Dragon Blood Legion for me. Although its destructive power isn't as high as mine, its combat power definitely surpasses the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan."
The elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan were left speechless. Long Chen had poured tremendous effort into the Clan, pouring countless resources into them. Just that grand formation alone was an incredibly terrifying number.
Meng Qi even took out the Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow's divine ability from the Myriad Spirits Diagram without reservation, letting them continue the ancient divine ability. Otherwise, the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan would never possess such terrifying combat power today.
"We will remember your kindness to us, but if you think it's just a part of a favor and want to control our Chasing Cloud-Swallowing Skysparrow clan forever..." the elder of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Skysparrow clan said coldly.
"Enough! Que Yingfeng, as clan leader, I now remove you from your position as Grand Elder and expel you from ...," Que Yuzhu shouted sternly.
As soon as Que Yuzhu spoke, the elder known as Que Yingfeng's expression changed, then a trace of gloom appeared on his face. Amid the shock of the other elders of the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, he took a deep breath and was about to leave, but Long Chen stopped him.
"What, do you want my life or not?" Que Yingfeng's face darkened, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
No matter how senior, he had to obey the clan leader; otherwise, he would be a criminal of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan.
The Cloud-Chasing Sky-Swallowing Sparrow clan has always been a proud race. They fear no death, but they dread being labeled sinners.
"Everyone, calm down and listen quietly to what I have to say. Don't create such melodramatic misunderstandings, or we'll all get awkward later."
Long Chen stopped the old man, glanced around at the elders of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, and said, "
The main reason I helped the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan is because of Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun is my closest companion. If her clansmen are in danger, I will not hesitate to help."
I, Long Chen, have helped countless people in my life, but I've never thought of expecting anything in return from anyone.
So, the so-called control this elder mentioned simply doesn't exist. I, Long Chen, have a group of life-and-death brothers and have no interest in relying on others. Upon
hearing this, Elder Que Yingfeng's anger vanished, replaced by a trace of shame. Long Chen's pride was known to all; his words just now were indeed somewhat petty and judged by a gentleman's mind.
Xiaoyun stood beside Long Chen, tightly holding his hand, her pretty face full of emotion.
"Do you know why I oppose you becoming emperors of the Xuan Beast clan? That's because—it's a trap. Long Chen looked at the powerful warriors of the Xuan Beast clan and sneered.
"What?"
All the powerful members of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, including Que Yuzhu, had their faces instantly changed, their eyes filled with shock.
