"You..."
With Long Chen's slap, all the Golden Crow clan experts were enraged. Long Chen's slap wasn't aimed at the person's face, but on the entire Golden Crow clan's face. They hadn't bullied anyone like this.
"What do you mean, you?" If I don't show it, how will you know who I am? Long Chen interrupted.
The old man who had been slapped by Long Chen was so furious that smoke seemed to come from his seven orifices, his face twisted and distorted. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. With a furious roar, he prepared to attack Long Chen.
However, just as he moved, the middle-aged beauty of the White Dragon clan raised her jade hand, but without using any divine power, the elder of the Golden Crow clan was instantly immobilized.
Long Chen's heart tightened. He had encountered this move before, but the middle-aged woman's movements were gentle, her movements controlled by her will, and her power did not leak at all. Unlike the Long family ancestor, whose power scattered wildly, the woman's strength was simply overwhelming.
"Senior, are you declaring war on my Golden Crow clan?" The old man was so pressed he couldn't move, and he was both shocked and furious.
But no matter how angry he was, he still insisted on addressing the other as 'senior,' not daring to act recklessly.
"This kid is just showing off the power of the dragon clan to get you to believe him. In reality, he doesn't mean any harm." The middle-aged woman said.
No malice? If slapping faces like this isn't malicious, then what is? That explanation is way too far-fetched.
"The palm he just struck didn't use the power of flames; it was pure bloodline power. With your strength, you should be able to sense that it is the sacred power possessed by my White Dragon clan!" The middle-aged woman said calmly.
"But you can't hit anyone, right? This is clearly bullying! A disciple of the Golden Crow clan said with a face full of grief and indignation.
"That's right. He also killed two of our clansmen before, one of whom was a key prodigy cultivated by our Golden Crow clan. This matter absolutely cannot be left over like this." Another twin-vein Heavenly Saint of the Golden Crow clan seemed to have finally found an excuse to shout angrily.
"Can't hit people?" Can't kill? It was clearly you all who blocked me, trying to kill me, so I can't resist? Is your heads full of crap? Long Chen sneered.
Long Chen snorted coldly in his heart. A bunch of ungrateful idiots. If the White Dragon Clan hadn't arrived, none of you would have survived. Who gave you the courage to shout so wildly here?
Upon hearing this, the usually calm middle-aged woman's expression suddenly changed, and then a violent aura surged up.
"Boom!"
The space roared and exploded. All the Golden Crow clan experts present were locked by a terrifying force. The violent pressure made them feel as if their bones were being crushed.
"Senior, please calm your anger... The
Twin-Vein Heavenly Saint, who was the first to be restrained by the middle-aged woman, struggled to plead for mercy. But after just a few words, he had to fall silent, because the terrifying pressure was so intense his body felt like it would explode, forcing him to resist with all his might.
"You have some nerve, daring to ambush a disciple of my White Dragon clan? Are you trying to kill and rob? Fine, since your Golden Crow clan wants to declare war on us, then use your heads as a challenge letter." The middle-aged woman had shed her previous dignified and graceful demeanor, her face cold and fierce, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
From beginning to end, the middle-aged woman never showed her true strength, but before her, the Golden Crow clan experts were as insignificant as ants; life and death depended on her in a single thought.
Long Chen felt the terrifying pressure and couldn't help but shudder. This middle-aged beauty was the most terrifying presence he had ever seen.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... Seeing
the middle-aged woman's murderous expression, the Golden Crow Clan's dual-vein Heavenly Saint turned pale with fright and hurriedly apologized.
In fact, this was indeed their fault. Of course, if Long Chen were an ordinary person, this kind of mistake wouldn't matter.
But if Long Chen is labeled as a member of the White Dragon clan, that's a huge mistake. Whether it's the Golden Crow or White Dragon clan, both are extremely terrifying beings, valuing dignity and honor above all else.
The Golden Crow clan ambushed a disciple of the White Dragon clan, hoping to seize the Sunfire from him. If handled carelessly, it could spark conflict between the two great races. If such a conflict broke out, the entire world would tremble.
"A misunderstanding?" Tell me, what kind of misunderstanding is this? If you can't explain clearly, don't blame me for being ruthless. The middle-aged woman said coldly.
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman slightly restrained her pressure. At this moment, the Golden Crow clan experts felt as if they had been granted amnesty, their tense bodies instantly relaxing.
The leading elder hurriedly said, "Here's the situation. The Dan Valley received news that someone controlled the Solar Fire and was suspected of stealing the origin fire of our Golden Crow clan disciples, so they ...."
In his panic, the old man hurriedly pulled out the Brahma Pill Valley. In reality, the Valley only informed them of the situation, but didn't mention the suspected part. He was deliberately giving himself a way out.
"Come on, my Solar Flame was obtained from the ancient Fusang tree in the ancient secret realm. It's completely different from your inheritance fire. Even when making up stories, you need to have some basic knowledge, okay?" Long Chen sneered, directly exposing his lie.
Long Chen's Solar Fire and the Golden Crow Clan's Solar Fire are indeed vastly different—whether in color, fluctuations, or form, they are fundamentally distinct.
Not to mention the Golden Crow clan—even those who know a bit about Flame can tell them apart at a glance. To come up with such an excuse—do you think others are fools?
"This... Just last month, we lost an elite disciple. His life flame was stolen. When we heard the news about you, we were both shocked and furious, and then charged over. In our excitement, we didn't make a good sense of the situation—it really was a misunderstanding. The old man hurriedly added.
Long Chen was about to retort, but the middle-aged woman spoke up: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you know in your heart. Since you say it's a misunderstanding, I'll just treat it as a misunderstanding." Hearing
the middle-aged woman's words, the elder of the Golden Crow clan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Golden Crow clan might not be afraid of the White Dragon clan, when two giants clashed, he didn't want to become cannon fodder.
Besides, the Golden Crow and White Dragon clans have always kept to themselves. If a single seed of the Sunfire causes a great war between the two races, and the authorities learn the reason, they might be stripped alive.
"Thank you for your understanding, senior. I take my leave!"
The elder of the Golden Crow clan hurriedly bowed to the middle-aged woman, then carefully led her away. It must be said, they were very unlucky—losing a destined child, getting slapped, and still having to thank her.
After the Golden Crow clan expert left, the middle-aged woman turned her gaze to Long Chen. At that moment, Long Chen's heart tightened.
