Chapter 6890 Not Dead?
“Brother Wenlong, Brother Chenggang, I was about to leave right away, but that seems rushed. I plan to rest for a day and visit the Wine God Palace tomorrow. Would you like to join me?” asked Long Chen.
Zheng Wenlong quickly shook his head. “The Wine God Palace is also a god path inheritance, and with my status, it would not be appropriate for me to visit. But Brother Long, please bring back some wine for me!”
Li Chenggang was also interested, but knew his status made a casual visit to the Wine God Palace inappropriate, especially if he accompanied Long Chen. He replied, “I still have some business to settle in my sect. I will wait for you there, Brother Long!”
Both of them wanted to visit the Wine God Palace, but they had their own reasons for not going. So, they said their goodbyes to Long Chen here.
Li Chenggang invited Long Chen to visit the Calligraphy Sect before going to the divine capital, if he had the time, and Long Chen agreed.
As they parted ways, Chi Yunfeng and Yue Tianming joined the group. However, Xin Yu immediately shooed off her father.
Xin Yu knew that her father was just here for formalities. She didn’t like insincere conversation as it gave her goosebumps.
In truth, Yue Tianming didn’t want to come either. He simply felt obliged to attend to avoid offending Long Chen.
Being driven off by Xin Yu gave Yue Tianming an excellent excuse. He quickly said a few polite words to Long Chen. His excuse was that he was too old, so he let Xin Yu go with Long Chen as the Spirit Heart Sect’s representative. He also told Long Chen he was welcome to visit the Spirit Heart Sect anytime.
“Long Chen, are we going now?” Chi Yutong asked.
She was excited but also nervous about going to the Wine God Palace.
The Wine God Palace was a highly mysterious place in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, and even the elders of the divine capital lacked the qualification to enter. Chi Yutong never expected she would get the opportunity to visit it.
Shaking his head, Long Chen said, “My killing intent still lingers after the battle. It would be impolite to visit the Wine God Palace now. Resting on the way isn't very convenient either. Let’s return to the Flame God Sect. Once I’ve calmed my emotions, we can go.”
“Alright, then let’s go back now!” Chi Yutong exclaimed.
She immediately called the Scarlet Blood Battle Chariot, and Long Chen, Xin Yu, and Yan Li got on board.
Once they were ready to leave, Chi Yutong noticed her father just standing there, seemingly not planning to leave.
“Dad? Are you not coming with us?” Chi Yutong asked.
“I shall bid brother Long Chen farewell for now. I have some business to attend to,” said Chi Yunfeng.
“Dad... do you...?!”
Chi Yutong was startled, but then sensed something was wrong.
“Go!”
Chi Yunfeng waved his hand.
Chi Yutong wished to ask her father more questions, but Long Chen shook his head silently. She then guided the Scarlet Blood Battle Chariot through the air.
After they had flown away for a while, Xin Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Long Chen, do you know what Uncle Yunfeng is up to?”
“Sect Master Yunfeng is using this opportunity to settle old scores with some people. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to him. The ones who should be concerned are those who previously abused the Flame God Sect," said Long Chen.
Chi Yutong shook her head and sighed. “My father always repays his debts, whether good or bad. But our Flame God Sect bears grudges against too many factions. My dad tends to be impatient, and I worry he might go too far, potentially worsening our situation in the future.”
“Ah, you’re still too young,” Long Chen said, shaking his head.
“Long Chen, can you give me some pointers?”
Seeing Long Chen’s expression, Chi Yutong quickly asked him for advice.
Long Chen explained, “There are countless paths in this world, but people always return to the familiar pathways. Sect Master Yunfeng is going to settle his debts with those factions. He’ll get back everything, plus interest. The disciples who died will also get justice. So he won’t just be taking money, he’ll be killing. After all, killing someone involves more than just financial debt. The sect master didn't invite you to join him because he wants to be the villain, while you take the role of the hero. Do you understand now?”
Chi Yutong stared at Long Chen and replied, “I’m not sure I do...”
“Ah, why did you suddenly become foolish?” Long Chen asked, smiling. “If I were Sect Master Yunfeng, I wouldn’t just kill people. I’d also demand compensation. After taking everything they have, I’d set strict conditions for them too.”
“Really? He’ll be that vicious?” interjected Xin Yu.
Long Chen continued, “That’s right. He is pushing them to the brink of death. Since he is a double manifestation Divine Sovereign and is using the aftermath of my fight with Yan Sheng to show his power, those factions have no choice but to give in if they want to live. This way, Sect Master Yunfeng can defeat all his enemies and make them pay a heavy price. For the next ten thousand years, they’ll have to work nonstop to pay off their debt.”
“Ten thousand years...” Xin Yu clicked her tongue.
That was really ruthless. Wasn’t that basically turning these sects into the Flame God Sect’s indentured servants?
Long Chen continued, “After taking everything from them, Sect Master Yunfeng will swagger back to the Flame God Sect. Then, our beautiful, kind, and wise divine daughter will find out and argue with her father. Their argument will be so intense that sect master Yunfeng will furiously abandon his position and stop caring about the sect.
“That’s when the new sect master, Yutong, will step up. The first thing she’ll do is remove the strict conditions for those factions and return some of their wealth. The factions that were pushed to the edge will be saved by Fairy Yutong. While they might not bow to you, their hatred for the Flame God Sect will lessen.
“As the sect grows stronger, their fear and respect will outweigh their hatred. This is the usual playbook: after hitting them hard, you give them something sweet. Sect Master Yunfeng is the slap, and Sect Master Yutong will give them the candy.”
Long Chen’s lively story made Chi Yutong’s face twitch. When he called her beautiful, kind, and wise, she blushed bright red, but she was secretly happy.
“Long Chen, you’re pretty cunning, maybe even more than Yan Sheng. No wonder you didn’t see him as a real opponent. He was just a kid playing in front of you!” Xin Yu exclaimed.
“Aren’t you criticizing Sect Master Yunfeng’s actions? After all, these are his actions,” said Long Chen.
“Hey, I’m not talking about Uncle Yunfeng! Stop trying to stir things up!”
Chi Yutong sighed. Long Chen’s sharp eyes seemed to see through everything. Even though she didn’t know her father’s exact plans, she felt that, knowing his character, he probably would do just what Long Chen had described.
“Boss, how do you get so smart? I want to be smarter too.” Yan Li couldn’t help but jump in. He still looked excited, clearly not over the battle he’d just seen.
“I didn’t have a choice. I have too many enemies. If I didn’t use my brain, I’d be dead by now,” Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
“Boss, you’re so strong. Who would want to be your enemy?” Yan Li asked, looking in disbelief.
Long Chen shook his head.
“Powerful? You haven’t seen the truly terrifying beings in this world yet. One day you will. I hope you get stronger before you meet them, or you won’t even have a chance to run.”
The three of them felt a chill of fear. If Long Chen called something terrifying, it had to be truly frightening.
When they went back to the Flame God Sect, Long Chen summoned the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree in the rear mountains. Instead of cultivating, the four of them used its sacred light to calm their emotions and entered a state of absolute tranquility.
The next day, all four of them felt refreshed. Chi Yutong used the chariot again to take them to the nearest city with a transportation formation.
There were already crowds gathered here, watching some kind of event.
The four of them ignored the crowd and headed straight for the transportation formation. But as they passed by, they heard:
“Heavens, that’s someone who fought Long Chen and lived to tell the tale!”
Long Chen and the others were all startled.
“Hold it, fought who?”
“Yan Sheng? No way! We have to check it out!”
