Chapter 7174 Do Unto Others

Everyone was deathly silent. This apology coming from Qi Yunao truly shocked them. Furthermore, the power to casually swat down a half-step Heavenly Sovereign was something they’d never even imagined.

Long Chen kicked away the head indifferently. “Sect master Qi, I’m impressed with your methods. In that case, the High Firmament Academy’s grudge with the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect can be set aside for now.”

Long Chen could tell from the head’s remnant energy that this half-step Heavenly Sovereign had only reached this level after merging with the outsider devil. Although his aura was frightening, his true power was probably not even on par with Ying Luo’s. Obviously, Qi Yunao had intentionally set this elder up as a scapegoat. He had promoted the elder to the position of vice sect master and then pushed all the blame onto him. He then used the elder’s death to draw this matter to a close.

At the same time, this scapegoat was a tool Qi Yunao had used to force the sweeping elder into taking action. Now, he had achieved his goal, and this tool had accomplished its final mission.

Just who was Long Chen? What kind of scheme had he not seen? Qi Yunao had clearly wanted to use this person to test out the sweeping elder in order to decide how to deal with him. That was why Long Chen said that their grudge would only be set aside for now, not concluded.

Qi Yunao smiled and pretended not to hear the other meaning in Long Chen’s words. “Excellent. The Heaven's Peer Dao Sect and the High Firmament Academy were both once leaders of the human race. The human race is in crisis now, so we should be doing everything we can to help humanity. I hope that humanity can become a pillar of the ten thousand races!”

Long Chen couldn’t even bother listening to this nonsense. His gaze directly turned away and ultimately settled on those figures still trapped in the sword-light formation.

Seeing Long Chen’s gaze shift to them, Qi Yunao said, “Dean Long Chen, the ringleader has been slain. These people were all tricked, and their forces have already taken terrible losses. Their disciples were almost completely wiped out. Do you think you could be merciful enough to spare them? After all, the battles in the future will require the full might of the human race. Killing them is like tearing down our own forces. I hope that you can give an old man some face and let them off.”

Long Chen sneered. Did this man really take him to be a fool? Matters had reached this state because of none other than Qi Yunao himself, and now he pretended to be a good person?

“No problem,” he said, causing Qi Yunao’s smile to widen. But just as he was about to express his gratitude, Long Chen continued, “However, in a bit, I’ll be going to all their forces to get some compensation!”

“Hahaha, but of course!” Qi Yunao agreed without hesitation. According to his plan, these forces were about to disappear fairly soon. Who the hell would compensate Long Chen then?

With Long Chen’s agreement, the sword-light formation disappeared; Li Yifu, Xuan Jizi, and the others came out. They were covered in wounds, and some of them were even missing limbs. They had wrapped themselves in law power to prevent others from seeing their condition, but Long Chen could easily tell. He could also tell that when they looked at him, their gazes were full of hatred.

“In that case, this matter is settled for now. Sweeping elder, excuse us juniors for now. When I have a chance, I will definitely come pay my respects at the head academy!” Qi Yunao bowed to the sweeping elder and then brought everyone away. Li Yifu went with him; he didn’t even bother with his empty shell of a sect.

“Victory! We won!”

Once their enemies retreated, some of the academy’s disciples couldn’t help shouting excitedly. Their voices quivered.

“Count our losses!” ordered Long Chen.

“There’s no need to count. We didn’t lose a single person!” Miao Yin smiled. She felt proud of herself, and she truly had reasons to.

She had been the leader of the academy’s army in this battle. Although some people had been injured more or less seriously, it was nothing a skilled healer couldn’t deal with. With this, she had shown not just her immense strength, but also that her support abilities were practically unmatched. She had every right to be proud.

Long Chen finally relaxed when he heard that there were no casualties. That had been a heavy weight on his chest the entire time. After this battle, these disciples would truly become powerful experts in their own rights. Who knew how far they could go in the future? The first academy, and the entire High Firmament Academy, would also definitely rise to glory thanks to them.

“Good job. When the Dragonblood Legion gathers again, you will be the new general,” declared Long Chen.

Miao Yin’s jaw dropped. She almost couldn’t believe her ears. She would be commanding the Dragonblood Legion! The number one legion of the nine heavens and ten lands! She had long since heard everything about them; the names of Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Yue Zifeng, and the others were burned into her memory. She had even previously dreamed of creating her own unmatched legion with them as an inspiration.

For this dream, she had gambled everything and lost. But now, it seemed that she had also won as well. She had a chance to command the actual Dragonblood Legion, not a makeshift version!

Zi Yan couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw her reaction. She turned toward Long Chen. “Won’t Guo Ran cry when he hears that?”

Long Chen smiled. “Not at all. This fellow wants to be a show-off the most. If he could find someone more suitable for the position, he would have long since charged forward to be the vanguard!”

Guo Ran was particularly fond of being a flashy show-off, much like Mo Nian. He had taken the job because he had thought that the position of general would be the flashiest. However, he had quickly realized that the general had to be in charge of the big picture, and there weren’t that many chances for him to show-off. But by then, it was too late for regret. He could only endure it.

If someone could replace him, he would definitely be overjoyed.

Meanwhile, personal combat prowess aside, Miao Yin’s support abilities were truly stunning. If Miao Yin hadn’t been here today, Long Chen wouldn’t have been able to fight Li Yifu. His terrifying Heavenly Sovereign domain would have been too strong for him to resist. But thanks to her support and the Demon Moon Cauldron’s Heaven-Earth power, he had managed. In fact, he hadn’t even gotten a chance to show off his dragon blood and astral energy. What kind of boost would he receive for those two energies if Miao Yin was aiding him?

After saying a few more things to Miao Yin, Zi Yan, and the academy’s disciples, Long Chen saw the palace master saying something to the sweeping elder. It seemed that they were done talking about their own matters, so Long Chen immediately went to them.

“Sweeping elder, I was too weak. I’ve implicated you!” said Long Chen guiltily. He now knew that Qi Yunao had set all this up just to force the sweeping elder to make an appearance, but he had only found out after the fact. Now, Qi Yunao had achieved his goal, and Long Chen was hardly happy about it.

“Dean Long Chen, you’re too humble. If you call yourself weak, I won’t have the face to show myself!” said the palace master.

He had thought that with him backing Long Chen, there was no way for things to go out of control. But in the end, the sweeping elder had still been forced to show himself. If he had been strong enough and had not exposed the High Firmament Divine Sword first, then the other side would not have had a chance to show the Heaven's Peer Divine Vajra, and the situation wouldn’t have ended up as it did.

“Both of you have done very well. Qi Yunao is very ambitious. Even if this plan hadn’t worked, he would have created an opportunity somehow. This was unavoidable,” said the sweeping elder.

Although they knew that was the case, Long Chen and the palace master were both unhappy with it. The feeling of being successfully schemed against was very irritating.

“Dean Long Chen, what do you plan to do now?” asked the sweeping elder.

Long Chen said, “Exactly what our noble ancestors say. Do unto others as they would have done to us!”

The palace master stared at him. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Long Chen grinned and said, “Well, since they wanted our karmic luck dragon manifestation...”

The palace master now understood. He slapped his leg and exclaimed, “I see! I like that!”
