"Lord Long, we know we were wrong. If we'd known you were coming, we wouldn't dare offend you even if we died our lives!"
More than a dozen Divine Lord-level experts knelt on the ground, with the leader sobbing bitterly, speaking in agony.
These dozen or so Divine Lord Realm experts had been fiercely blocking the way, trying to rob them, but ended up being beaten by Qin Feng, Qi Yu, and Xu Zixiong, leaving them bruised and battered, kneeling and begging for mercy.
When Long Chen stepped down from the flying boat, they were so terrified they nearly lost their souls, as if they had seen the King of Hell. They suddenly knelt down with a thud, wailing in pain, begging Long Chen not to kill them.
Bai Shishi was stunned. Was Long Chen really that famous? Has it all reached the Tianhong Domain?
Even Long Chen himself was stunned. Seeing the fear in their eyes, it wasn't an act.
"Are you afraid of me?" Long Chen asked.
"No, no, no, we're not afraid of you, we admire you immensely, and hold you in deep respect.
We think about it during the day and cry at night, even dreaming of staying by your side..." the middle-aged man in the lead hurriedly said.
"Stop, keep talking nonsense. If you don't answer honestly, I'll chop off your head." Long Chen said coldly. This guy treated Long Chen like a three-year-old child. Such childish compliments were an insult to his intelligence.
"We truly admire you, and almost everyone in the nearby domains knows your name." The man hurriedly said.
"How did you know?" Long Chen asked.
"You killed Jiang Baihe, the prodigy of Yuhua Palace. That was a terrifying Netherworld Ghost Species, and this matter has long been known." The man hurriedly said.
Bai Shishi and the others nodded. So it was about the Netherworld Ghost Seed. No wonder—the Netherworld Ghost Seed's involvement was huge. Once the news spread, Long Chen would naturally become famous.
"Get to the point, why are you afraid of me?" Long Chen remained unmoved, looking at the man coldly and saying.
Terrified, the man finally revealed the reason, which made Bai Shishi and the others' faces change, each filled with rage and murderous intent.
It turned out that after Jiang Baihe was killed by Long Chen, news of the Nether Ghost Species spread. At the same time, there was another piece of news: some speculated that Long Chen might be another Nether Ghost Species.
It is said that the Netherworld Ghost Species are independent and unruly, and their own kind can turn on each other. Long Chen went to Yuhua Palace and went straight to cause trouble for Jiang Baihe, with obvious intentions that made people question his motives.
As a result, rumors spread and countless people believed Long Chen was also a Nether Ghost Species. Moreover, this rumor had long been circulating throughout the streets and alleys. During this period, Long Chen had been in the Evil Dragon Domain, where information was cut off, so he hadn't heard the rumor.
Now, hearing this news, Xu Zixiong was so angry that he cursed loudly: "Are these people full of crap in their heads?" You believe such brainless talk? "
Who deliberately framed the boss? Their intentions are condemnable." Qin Feng said through gritted teeth.
"No need to think about it, nine times out of ten, it was Jiang Weizhong's doing. He couldn't accept that the Jiang family's prodigy was ruined by the boss like that. He didn't dare seek revenge on the boss, so he secretly used dirty tricks.
They deliberately slandered the eldest, and Lingxiao Academy had always been hostile to the Great Brahma Heaven. Anyone belonging to the Great Brahma Heaven's faction, whether true or not, would join in and fan the flames.
As long as someone keeps stirring up conflicts and angers the boss, when the boss strikes back, it's bound to lead to killing.
Once the slaughter begins, countless people will step forward and say the boss must be a Nether Ghost Species, otherwise why would he be so vicious? Under the influence of all voices, even the false became true. Qi Yu said with a gloomy expression.
Qi Yu interacted with Jiang Weizhong quite often. Jiang Weizhong was stubborn and narrow-minded, which suited his style and made sense. Especially when Long Chen and the others left, the hatred and venom in Jiang Weizhong's eyes were obvious to everyone.
"Wouldn't Long Chen become the target of everyone's criticism?" Bai Shishi felt something was wrong.
At this moment, the prodigies of the Tianhong Domain were gathering, gathering top experts from several major outer domains nearby. These powerhouses were usually arrogant and combative, like bulls in heat, always finding something to do when they had no reason.
If Long Chen appeared, it would surely cause a huge stir, drawing countless people to attack him under the guise of justice. With Long Chen's temper, could he tolerate them?
Once Long Chen went on a killing spree, he would fall even further into the opponent's scheme. Thinking of this, Bai Shishi couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. This was an incurable poisonous scheme—Jiang Weizhong was far too sinister and vicious.
"No, no, no, it shouldn't be called the target of public criticism. Wherever Third Master goes, that's where he's the center of attention. I really enjoy that feeling."
That's how I got through the mortal realm. If it weren't like this, I really wouldn't get used to it. Since there are people who aren't afraid of death, let them do it.
The principles of the Immortal Realm are not spoken but fought through battle. If they are scared by killing, whatever you say becomes the truth, and no one can refute it. Long Chen was furious inside, but since it had already happened, anger was useless. He feared no conspiracy.
Such a vicious scheme made him the target of public criticism, yet Long Chen's fighting spirit surged. He wouldn't bother explaining—there's nothing that can't be solved with one strike. If it can't be solved, then two strikes will do.
"Lord Long, we have absolute trust in you. How could you possibly be a Nether Ghost Species?
Lingxiao Academy is the oldest academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. If you are a Nether Ghost Species, with your talent and aptitude, you will naturally be carefully screened. Could the Nether Ghost Seed really be hidden from Lingxiao Academy?
So, this is absolutely impossible. After we get back, we should immediately contact friends to help clear your name. Such a bad reputation and wrongful accusations against good people are truly despicable. The kneeling minor leader now showed his strong will to survive, pounding his chest with righteous indignation and vowing with resolute determination.
Bai Shishi glanced at the man and saw that each of them had ferocious faces, clearly not good people. If they helped Long Chen prove anything, it would probably have the opposite effect.
This group was all rogue cultivators. The phenomenon in the Tianhong Domain had attracted countless visitors, hoping to take advantage of the chaos. Of course, they kept their distance from the presence of luxurious flying boats or powerful mounts.
Bai Shishi's flying boat was old and broken, so they set their sights on it. Unexpectedly, they ran into a living King of Hell, and they were nearly scared to tears. What bad luck—they thought they would finally get a bite of meat, but their lives were at risk.
"Boss, Yuhua Palace will definitely come this time too. This time, if we run into Jiang Weizhong, just chop off his head and make an example of others!" Bai Xiaole said bitterly. Everyone realized that Bai Xiaole was no longer as timid and fearful as before; he finally had a bit of a masculine vibe.
"For a clown like this, don't bother with him for now. If you run into me, you'll just blame him for having a short life.
If I can't meet him, I won't waste any effort looking for him. Now that I've just arrived in Tianhong Domain, I have to let the people of Tianhong get to know Master Long. Long
Chen looked at the kneeling man and said, "Take me to the Blood Killing Hall in the Tianhong Domain to make amends. I'll let this matter go by." "
