Chapter 7096 Soulsearch

Long Chen’s attack had come out of nowhere. That triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign was too slow to react before Xue Changqing was already in Long Chen’s hand.

It went without saying that Long Chen’s judgment was very accurate. The elder truly was both weak and foolish. They had actually come to someone else’s territory and made threats. This was nothing unusual; Long Chen himself had done it plenty of times. But those who did it had to be prepared to attack and be attacked at all times. So how was this man’s reaction speed so damn slow?

Perhaps this was part of the consequences of forcibly being elevated into a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign. Even his intelligence had dropped.

“Long Chen... aren’t you going too far?!” shouted the elder in outrage.

Just then, Shen Qingxue took out the violet-gold polearm. Her gaze locked onto him, and sharp killing intent instantly made him freeze.

Big brother was right, this guy really is weak. Even without the violet-gold polearm, my aura can lock him down, thought Shen Qingxue.

Meanwhile, the elder’s hair stood on end. Every possible alarm bell was ringing in his head. He was almost physically aware that, if he made the slightest movement, Shen Qingxue would kill him. Then, he noticed something else.

“The violet-gold polearm!?”

His expression completely changed. None of them had been aware that there was someone in the divine capital with a primal chaos divine item. Otherwise, Xue Changqing wouldn’t have been so arrogant. But clearly, their information was lagging behind. They had thought that a single triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign would be able to completely settle things and make Long Chen lower his head. Now, it seemed like that was a complete joke. Their ridiculous tactics had been instantly seen through.

“Don’t struggle. It’s normal to get lightheaded.”

Xue Changqing’s whole body was twitching. He wanted to fight back. But as Long Chen spoke, he silently circulated his violet blood energy to reach Xue Changqing’s memories.

Ever since mastering the Soul-Locking Curse, Long Chen’s soulsearch ability had leveled up. Against someone like Xue Changqing, who was cowardly and didn’t have a strong will, it was especially easy to conduct a soulsearch. He was done almost instantly, and no one, including the elder and Xue Changqing himself, managed to sense it.

Xue Changqing only felt as if he was about to die. Countless memories flashed through his mind, and he thought it was because he was remembering his life in the last second before death.

“Mister Long Chen, we truly have come with sincere intentions! Please show mercy and release the seventh prince. We will make sure to remember your kindness!” begged the elder.

Meanwhile, the other disciples from the Bloodfiend Divine Kingdom were too cowed by the violet-gold polearm’s pressure to say a word. Shen Qingxue’s lock was focused on the elder, but the disciples were also affected. They were like frozen statues.

They had previously already visited several other factions with Xue Changqing. All of them had been very respectful and humble when facing a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign. However, here they were dumbfounded to find that rather than being respected guests, they seemed more like criminals in front of a judge. And what shocked them the most was that there wasn’t even a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign here!

Long Chen ignored the elder and looked at Xue Changqing. “Do you want to live or die?”

Xue Changqing had never been so terrified in his life. His soul had practically fled from his body. He hastily nodded like a chicken pecking on a tray of rice.

“Oh, since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!” said Long Chen.

Xue Changqing turned pale and hastily shook his head. He was incapable of coherent speech. Sweat dripped down his face. In all fairness, this was a side effect of Long Chen’s surreptitious soulsearch, but everyone assumed it was terror.

“First nodding, then shaking your head? What does that mean? Do you want to live or die?” demanded Long Chen.

“I... want to live!”

Xue Changqing’s voice was hoarse. Just saying those few words took up all his energy. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his aura became listless.

He had no idea that Long Chen had intentionally forced him to speak. Speaking before his soul fully settled down caused an injury. This way, the side effects of the soulsearch would be covered up. No one would know of this matter, even if they investigated in the future.

Long Chen tossed Xue Changqing away, and a disciple hastily caught him.

The elder sighed in relief and bowed slightly. “Many thanks for showing mercy!”

No one from the Bloodfiend Divine Kingdom dared to show the slightest arrogance now. They had finally witnessed how terrifying Long Chen’s force was.

Long Chen indifferently said, “If you want to collaborate, you should show your sincerity. What’s the point in coming empty-handed? Did you think a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign would be enough? Go back and tell your master that a collaboration is not out of the question, but you have to bring out something that can tempt me!”

“Yes, I will immediately return and report your words!”

The elder directly brought everyone away. They didn’t even dare to go through the usual farewell ceremony. All they wanted to do was leave this den of dragons. Once they left the divine capital, they all sighed in relief. Taking out a flying boat, they set off without delay.

“Seventh grandpa, why not use the devil corpse puppets? I refuse to believe two triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign puppets in addition to you wouldn’t be able to flip the divine capital upside down!” Xue Changqing stared at the divine capital as it grew smaller and smaller until they couldn’t see it any longer. He gnashed his teeth in undisguised rage.

The elder’s expression was gloomy. He had thought about using the puppets, but at that moment, he had been locked down. If he dared to move, he would have probably been killed before the puppets even came out.

An attack from a primal chaos divine item was not something he could even imagine blocking.

The elder said, “It’s just the divine capital. How can it be compared to your life? We should hurry and report what happened in the divine capital...”

Just then, the jade plate on his waist quivered. He took it out and read the new information that had just come. The next moment, his eyes widened, and then he started cursing like an angry sailor. “You motherfuckers! Why didn’t you wait until we fucking died before you sent word?!”

Xue Changqing was baffled. Then he took the jade plate, and his already pale face turned even paler.

“Long Can became a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign! She attacked the divine capital, and Long Chen killed her! That’s one of the eight divine commanders!”

“The four immemorial sects... Three of the sect masters are dead... The Heavenly Devil Zither has fused...”

“The nine star line’s experts came as well, but their disciples were slaughtered and their triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign was brought away by Long Chen. It is unknown if he is still alive...”

Every line he read practically exploded in his mind.

Xue Changqing had been taken aback by the elder’s curses just moments before, but now, he started cursing as well. “These fucking idiots almost got us all killed! When we get back, I’m going to make them eat shit!”

Only now did Xue Changqing learn what kind of terrifying existence Long Chen was. If this information had come earlier, he wouldn’t have gone to the divine capital no matter what.

“Screw that... It’s a marvel that we even managed to leave alive. And thank the heavens that we didn’t actually offend Long Chen. There’s still room for negotiation. We must report back immediately. As for taking over the mixed beast race, we should slow down our plans there...”

With that, the elder fell silent, and simply moved on along with everyone else who had just narrowly escaped death.
