"Stop, stop..."
The pockmark-faced elder slammed the gavel loudly and shouted to stop him, but his voice was drowned out, and even he couldn't hear it.
"Stop!"
"Boom!"
In a rage, the pockmark-faced elder unleashed his cultivation. With a sudden slap, he shattered the stone platform, and a terrifying shockwave swept across the entire hall, radiating a powerful pressure.
Only then did Long Chen and the others stop. When everyone stopped, the whole world instantly fell silent, but the people's eardrums still buzzed, the echo lingering, as if rats were still running around inside their ears—a feeling that was indescribably uncomfortable.
"Ugh...!"
The
sound stopped, and the law enforcement disciples present could no longer hold on and actually started vomiting inside the main hall.
They knew they couldn't vomit here and rushed outside the main hall, but in their dizziness, several people bumped into each other and vomited before even leaving the hall.
These law enforcement disciples usually live in comfort and do not participate in external battles. Although their cultivation levels are not low, their combat power is not high, and they all can't withstand the noisy noise—it's truly puke.
Long Chen pointed at the disciples vomiting violently and said, "Did you see that?" This is the sound attack exclusively invented by Long Chen, borrowed from the Dan Fairy of the Miaolexian Palace. I'm not bragging; it's just a small concept, not yet fully formed.
I believe that with my talent and aptitude, combined with my diligence and the support of my brothers, my music attack technique will one day shine brightly.
In the near future, the Tianlong Legion will wield drums and gongs, roaming the beast battlefield, invincible, and defeating all beasts without bloodshed.
By then, I, Long Chen, will surely be remembered for eternity. Who would dare underestimate me again? I, Long Chen, have made an outstanding contribution for the human race.
Back then, we used this kind of sound attack to support the Third Celestial Dragon Legion. Hmph, if it weren't for us, would they still be standing here? It must have long since turned into animal dung, nourishing the earth. "
Nonsense! What good does it do you do with all your random knocking?" The pockmarked-faced elder shouted angrily.
"Useless?" Alright, brothers, put in a bit more effort. It's time to show real skill. Come on, three, two, one, play the music..." Long Chen waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion all raised their gongs and drums.
"Stop, stop, stop quickly..."
Even the elderly white-haired man with a stern face couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "We admit it, this does work a bit." Although
he wasn't afraid of this noise, it was really annoying to listen to, and in such a sacred place, banging and banging was really inappropriate.
He had already seen through it—Long Chen was extremely cunning, laying out a backup plan in advance, leaving no evidence against him. Rather than letting him keep causing trouble, it was better to end this interrogation quickly.
"Elder Jiang, ..." The pockmarked-faced elder's face darkened.
"There's no point in dwelling on this. Even if Long Chen's noise can't harm the beasts, it can still attract their attention. It's not entirely a celebration of schadenfreude." The white-haired elder sighed.
Seeing this, Long Chen couldn't help but praise him again. This old man was quite wise and had seen through Long Chen's schemes.
If the pockmark-faced old man was entangled with him over the issue of sound attack, Long Chen had plenty of ways to defeat him. Even if all his motives were ultimately overturned, Long Chen still had a last way out.
Yeah, even if our attacks aren't perfect, we can draw the beasts' attention and help them share the burden. That's not wrong, right? You say I'm gloating, but I deny it—what can you do?
The white-haired elder didn't want to waste so much time, so he simply made it clear: don't get entangled in this matter any longer. If you can't reach a conclusion, move on to the next topic.
He had already seen through it—that pockmark-faced old man couldn't beat Long Chen at all. If this continued, Long Chen could finish him off.
This charge could not be pinned on Long Chen. The pockmark-faced old man asked Long Chen several more questions, and Long Chen answered them perfectly, all with reasoning and without a single flaw—truly flawless.
"Alright, that's it for today's council. Everyone, disperse and hear the news."
Seeing the pockmark-faced old man repeatedly trying to find loopholes in Long Chen, but Long Chen gave him no chance, and Long Chen repeatedly rebuked him until he was furious, unable to get any valuable information, the white-haired elder tidied up his belongings and stood up.
The pockmark-faced elder, helpless, could only announce a suspension of the trial and let everyone disperse. As they left the main hall, Long Chen looked at Ye Lingfeng and patted his shoulder, saying, "
I sympathize with your situation. I originally wanted to advise you to avoid doing things that harm others and benefit yourself in the future."
But on second thought, I decided to forget it. You don't have a future. Go back and prepare for the funeral. Find a place with good feng shui, dig a pit, and it won't be long before you can use it. "
Long Chen, I won't let you off." Ye Lingfeng's face twisted with ferocity, his face twisted like a demon, utterly terrifying.
"Even as a ghost, you won't let me go? In terms of strength, you're no match for me; in terms of intelligence, you don't even have that kind of thing. Forget it, remember to reincarnate with your brain in your next life. Long Chen shook his head and, together with Shen Chengfeng and the others, left the main hall, leaving under the guidance of some law enforcement disciples.
Back in the Long family's territory, the Tianlong warriors erupted in cheers. They had never been so glorious in their lives. Following Long Chen was incredibly satisfying. Even if they died now, their lives wouldn't have been in vain.
"Looking at Ye Lingfeng's distorted face, I really feel like I'm dying of joy." A Heavenly Dragon warrior knelt on the ground, clenching his fists, looking utterly intoxicated. He didn't even know how to express his excitement.
"Damn it, this bastard has always bullied people until he died. Now he's finally met his toughest opponent. Heh, let's see if he's dead this time."
"He tried to lure out the beasts to wipe us out, but ended up reaping what he sowed, resulting in thousands dying in vain. If he doesn't die, it probably won't be enough to appease the people's anger."
Just thinking that Ye Lingfeng might be executed made everyone excited, because this guy was so wicked, he left no room for bullying. The soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion hated him to death.
"You're overthinking it. The chances of Ye Lingfeng being executed are extremely low." Long Chen shook his head.
"No way, something this big happened. If he doesn't die, how can this whole turmoil be quelled?" Shen Chengfeng said somewhat disbeliefly. If he caused such a commotion, he would surely die.
Long Chen shook his head: "Let me put it this way: logically, Ye Lingfeng is doomed to die."
Because what Ye Lingfeng did was just too foolish—hopelessly foolish—the Ye family had no reason to protect him. "
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking." Shen Chengfeng said.
"But there's one thing you haven't considered: this incident is actually a rivalry between the two Long and Leaf families.
To put it plainly, Ye Lingfeng was serving the Ye family. If Ye Lingfeng were killed, it would mean the Long family had won.
This would be a significant blow to the Ye family's morale, especially those in Ye Lingfeng's position, who felt terrified.
So, to comfort these people, the Ye family will do everything possible to ensure Ye Lingfeng doesn't die. They won't let the Long family win too easily, so it's unlikely Ye Lingfeng will die.
I just said that on purpose, but I was actually trying to annoy Ye Lingfeng. Of course, if I could scare him to death, that would be best. Long Chen said with a smile.
"No way!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. If this guy didn't die, they couldn't find peace. He would be like a venomous snake, ready to bite them to death at any moment.
Although they said they wouldn't, deep down they already knew this was probably the truth. Long Chen's calculations had never disappointed them. Although this time they really wanted to be disappointed once, they probably wouldn't have the chance.
Everyone was originally in high spirits, but after hearing Long Chen's analysis, the excited atmosphere instantly became much more suppressed.
"Why are you so downcast? Ye Lingfeng's death isn't necessarily a bad thing. Long Chen said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Shen Chengfeng said hurriedly.
"If he's not dead, then let's keep playing. With his little IQ, let's play until he dies."
I asked, 'Can't you all be a little more ambitious?' What are your net worths now? Would he still be afraid of Ye Lingfeng? Long Chen shook his head and said.
"Exactly, we're full of points now. Once we arm ourselves, we're not afraid of their Third Legion at all. Most importantly, we're more united than they are, and we know how to fight even harder. What are we afraid of?" When it comes to market value, they instantly become full of confidence.
The points each of them hold are an astonishing fortune, and now that the lawsuit has reached this point, they have already won.
Even if Ye Lingfeng hadn't been executed, their points wouldn't have been distributed out. Although their talent wasn't particularly outstanding, they had been fighting desperately, working harder than anyone else.
Now, with a large amount of points, the entire Eighth Legion would soar to new heights, no longer having to fear the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion.
"Elder Long."
As everyone was talking, Elder Long and another elder walked over. The elder was sitting next to Elder Long in the Auditorium Hall, and Shen Chengfeng and the others hurriedly saluted.
Elder Long spoke: "The results of the joint trial are basically out. When Ye Lingfeng attacked, his tactical arrangements were correct, but a deputy commander made a mistake while delivering orders, which ultimately led to this disaster." Upon
hearing Elder Long's words, these Heavenly Dragon warriors looked at each other, a wry smile appearing on their faces.
Long Chen truly had a prophetic mindset. Now, to protect Ye Lingfeng, the Ye family had shifted the responsibility back to a deputy commander. With this scapegoat, Ye Lingfeng could never be killed.
Elder Long continued, "Ye Lingfeng was punished with three hundred lashes and confined for three days. A commander was demoted to deputy commander to observe the consequences." Long
Chen smiled and said, "Elder Long, we don't care whether this guy lives or dies. I just want to know: the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion, diligent, dutiful, risking life and fighting for so many days, has received any rewards." After
Long Chen said this, Shen Chengfeng and the others felt embarrassed. During this time, they hadn't done anything, let alone fought life-and-death battles.
"Of course there is, and it's very generous. I'll be the one to distribute the reward to them. Long Chen, Elder Longqi wants to see you. Go ahead." Elder Long said with a smile.
Following the route Elder Long instructed, Long Chen arrived at the summit of a spiritual peak. Elder Long Qi was sitting alone, gazing at the distant mountains, seemingly lost in thought.
"Long Chen, what is most important to you?" Long Chen arrived, and Elder Long Qi didn't turn around, sighing.
