Chapter 6563 Casually Leaving
Now, the white-robed Long Chen was like a bird caught in a cage. There was nowhere to run. Yet, as patriarch Boran’s attack descended, he only smiled. While forming a one-handed seal, he closed his eyes.
“Purgatory Eyes!”
A pair of pitch-black eyes manifested behind the divine clans’ experts. They were cold and abyssal, like the gaze of a devil. The next moment, a giant vortex appeared and devoured all of them. None of them had the slightest ability to resist it.
Screams of terror rang out. They hadn’t expected Long Chen to have such a move—a silent sneak attack from behind, catching all of them off guard.
“You are courting death!” Patriarch Boran shouted, shocked.
With a wave of his hand, he forcibly tore the vortex apart.
The eyes vanished, but the damage was done. Every surviving divine clan expert staggered as blood sprayed from their mouths. Clutching their heads, they trembled violently. They felt like part of their souls had been devoured in that brief moment.
Although the divine clan experts had managed to escape death, all of them were pale as paper. They could not conceal their terror.
Just then, Evilmoon slashed through the sky, and Long Chen’s arrogant voice rang out.
“Fellow, you planted the seeds of karma today. The next time you see these white robes will be the time you go to hell.”
In response, Patriarch Boran’s hand slammed forward, tearing a hole into the void.
However, the white-robed figure had vanished without a trace.
“He got away?” asked a spectator.
A Divine Sovereign had descended. But even under his heaven-and-earth law manifestation, Long Chen casually broke free and walked away.
It was like everything was within his control, as if even a Divine Sovereign was nothing more than a passing inconvenience. That thought gave people goosebumps. Not even an existence as powerful as a Divine Sovereign could stop him?
“You couldn’t even hold back that brat? Useless!” Long Can snarled through gnashed teeth.
The Long clan’s experts stiffened. How could she blame Patriarch Boran?
Everyone knew that without Patriarch Boran tearing apart the Purgatory Eyes, all of them would have died in an instant.
That very act allowed Long Chen to escape easily. But in any case, the divine clans had only come as support. For Long Can to not be grateful was one thing, but how could she actually blame them?
While the disciples bristled in anger, the four clan leaders silently bowed their heads, confusing many.
“I heard Long Can is from the Long clan, and she is an old acquaintance of Ye Boran of the Ye clan. Based on what we’re seeing... it really might be true.”
Within the city, some people started to gossip. After all, this city was not lacking in ancient living fossils. They knew some secrets.
Patriarch Boran did not react much to Long Can’s cursing. Though displeased, he chose to drop the matter and instead shifted the topic. “Long Chen’s aura was strange. He had the laws of Purgatory backing him. He might very well come from the Netherworld. Divine commander, what do you think?”
What do you think? What could she possibly think? This fellow had killed so many of her people and destroyed their holy land. Patriarch Boran was clearly mocking her.
“Long Chen also killed countless disciples of your divine clans. You knew I wouldn’t ask for help unless it was absolutely necessary, but you didn’t bring the Jiuli Tower. Now you let him get away. This is all your fault!”
Hearing this, Ye Boran couldn’t help but frown. Even though Long Can had left the divine clans and become one of Lord Brahma’s eight divine commanders, she still carried her surname.
Because of this, Ye Boran had come to help her, but he actually owed her nothing. She was truly irritating.
Still, Ye Boran’s status prevented him from arguing with her in public. That would only invite ridicule.
He said, “My disciples already reported the matter. Long Chen attempted to bring a devil from the heaven region’s battlefield into the nine heavens to destroy our world. Multiple factions united to stop him. After losing the Earth Cauldron, he should have died, but a monster possessed his body and massacred countless experts before fleeing. However, I never expected him to appear here. I was careless. Had I brought the Jiuli Tower, that devil would never have escaped.”
Jiang Yue’e and Feng Fei turned ashen. They had already given the real report, yet Ye Boran was insisting on telling the lie—that Long Chen had unleashed the devils of the pure Yin land.
The two women exchanged a look, seeing each other’s helplessness and despair. Then, they came to realize the truth.
The higher-ups were neither blind nor too stupid to see reality. They simply chose to be blind.
Based on Long Can and Ye Boran’s exchange, it was clear that the Brahma line and the divine clans had secret dealings. That was why, despite so many opportunities, the divine clans had never truly allied with Long Chen.
The Brahma line had never let them.
A bitter, mournful smile touched Feng Fei’s and Jiang Yue’e’s lips. All their effort and pleading... had been nothing but a joke.
Now that the truth lay bare, they felt oddly liberated. They didn’t need to fight anymore. After all, there was nothing left to fight for.
“So what if he fled? Our eyes are spread throughout the nine heavens. Where can he run to? Also, isn’t it simple to force him out? We know exactly where his father and mother are!” declared Long Can.
Ye Boran frowned. “That move is useless. This white-robed Long Chen is not the Long Chen you know. People already tested it in the heaven region’s battlefield. Considering how many disciples and allies of the Brahma line died in the heaven region’s battlefield, combined with the destruction of the holy land, divine statues, and faith pool... this incident is too large to conceal. It cannot be handled through simple measures. You should report directly to Divine Venerate Brahma—”
“That’s none of your concern. Stay out of my affairs!” Long Can cut him off sharply.
Ye Boran nodded, his face turning solemn. “In that case, you can inform the divine clans what the Brahma line intends to do. Though Long Chen has caused a great calamity, he is ultimately a disciple of the divine clans. It is only proper that we take the responsibility and apprehend him. Goodbye.”
Ye Boran did not wish to continue speaking with Long Can. With a wave of his hand, all the experts from the divine clans vanished, leaving behind only the enraged Long Can.
As Long Can looked around her, a wave of fear crept into her heart. After cooling down, she realized Ye Boran was right—the matter was far too big. There was no concealing it from Lord Brahma.
“Damn Le Xing, it only turned out like this because you refused to come!” cursed Long Can.
Long Can gnashed her teeth. She loathed Le Xing, but she needed him now. If she was going to report this to Lord Brahma, she needed allies.
Casting one last look at the devastation of the holy land, she dragged her battered body away.
The moment she vanished, countless experts surged in from all directions. Feeling the remnants of devastating law power, they hurriedly sent reports back to their sects.
News of Long Chen’s battle with the divine commander Long Can quickly spread throughout the nine heavens.
