Chapter 5219 That Won’t Stop Me From Beating Him

“Long Chen, may I take a closer look at that jade?” asked the palace master.“Of course.”
Long Chen immediately raised his hand to hand it over, but the palace master retreated and waved his hand, signaling not to pass it over.
The palace master said, “No need to give it to me; just hold onto it. I only want to take a look.”
The palace master’s killing blow had been stopped by a trace of this jade’s aura, which shocked him. He vaguely felt that this trace of aura should be the legendary Sovereign qi. Although it was faint, almost imperceptible, it was strong enough to halt his killing blow.
The palace master stared at it. This once-glossy, pure white jade now bore streaks of Long Chen’s blood. The Sovereign jade seemed to be absorbing the blood, and none of its aura was leaking out anymore. It now appeared as nothing more than an ordinary piece of jade. No clues could be seen from it.
The palace master examined it briefly before having Long Chen put it away. With their enemies scattered, there was no need for him to take further action. He calmed his turbulent Blood Qi and, after bidding farewell to Long Chen and Bai Letian, returned to his residence.
Long Chen got into the barrier and went to Bai Shishi’s side. When Long Chen saw her lying in her mother’s arms with her eyes closed, his heart skipped a beat in fear.
Bai Shishi’s mother quickly said, “Don’t worry, although Shishi’s wounds are heavy, her core energy remains strong, and her foundation is intact. She should be fine after sleeping.”
Relieved, Long Chen turned to see Bai Zhantang, Bai Xiaole, Bai Xiaole’s mother, and Bai Letian standing by Bai Shishi. He apologized, “I’m sorry for not being able to protect Shishi properly!”
“Hmph!”
Bai Zhantang snorted and walked away gloomily.
Bai Shishi’s mother was embarrassed, and Yu Qingxuan felt guilty as well. After all, Bai Shishi was badly injured because of her.
Bai Shishi’s mother spoke up, “Qingxuan, Long Chen, please don’t take Zhantang’s behavior to heart. He doesn’t mean to be rude. He’s just angry at himself. As a father, it hurts him deeply that he couldn’t protect his daughter. He’s also frustrated for not listening to the palace master and raising his realm sooner. If he had reached the half-step Human Emperor realm, perhaps he could have prevented Shishi from getting hurt. He’s really just blaming himself. It’s just that he cares too much about face to show it.”
Bai Xiaole’s mother sighed, “Yes, Zhantang’s frustration is directed at his own powerlessness. We are powerless as well. None of us anticipated the Brahma Pill Valley would launch such a sudden and coordinated attack, gathering so many experts. After being at peace for so long, we became complacent.”
Bai Letian also looked ashamed as he added, “This is my fault. I knew about Long Chen’s actions in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, but I didn’t expect Brahma Pill Valley to retaliate crazily.”
As the dean of the head sect, Bai Letian had lived for countless years. He should have known better than to underestimate their enemies, especially after such a significant provocation. Had he been more vigilant, he could have made preparations, including urging the palace master to break through to the half-step Human Emperor realm sooner.
If the palace master had been at that level from the beginning, even the Eight Domain Divine Diagram wouldn’t have been able to trap him. His presence would have turned the tide, preventing them from being forced into such a dire situation.
The palace master was clearly in a bad mood. Although he usually kept to himself, he was a prideful person. Being sealed at the very start of the battle, unable to unleash his power, was a frustrating experience for him.
Hearing their words, Long Chen felt much better inside. He smiled bitterly. “If anyone is to blame, it should be me. I destroyed the Glacial Heaven Domain and killed their Domain Lord, but I didn’t even consider the possibility of Brahma Pill Valley’s revenge. That was truly foolish of me.”
Long Chen berated himself for not anticipating Brahma Pill Valley’s retaliation after such a significant act. Luckily, their enemies had come too late, allowing the Dragonblood Legion to fully awaken their Heavenly Fate manifestations. Otherwise, the casualties could have been catastrophic.
Bai Shishi’s mother smiled and said, “Let’s stop blaming ourselves. The lines of fate have their own mind. The academy survived, and although there were losses, they’re minor compared to the devastation we inflicted on our enemies.”
They all looked outside the barrier at the battlefield. The outer region of the academy was in ruins, soaked in blood. It had been an immense battle. Eleven Human Emperors had perished, along with tens of thousands of half-step Human Emperors. The losses among the Heaven Saints were too many to count. Despite everything, the High Firmament Academy had emerged victorious, wiping out all of Brahma Pill Valley’s forces, save for the Brahma Divine Diagram.
“What a pity. Boss, if you hadn’t called us back, I’d have made sure not a single person escaped,” said Bai Xiaole, clenching his teeth.
Bai Xiaole was covered in blood, but his killing intent was burning strong. His sister’s near-death experience had unleashed something within him. Though he often argued with Bai Shishi and was beaten by her, it never affected their bond. Seeing her almost die had turned him into a devil.
“Good job. Your display today was beyond my expectations. Today, you’ve finally become a true warrior,” Long Chen praised, patting Bai Xiaole’s shoulder.
.
Bai Xiaole instantly blushed at Long Chen’s praise, and Long Chen added, “I’m sure Shishi saw your courage today.”
“Even if I saw it, that won’t stop me from beating him!”
Bai Shishi’s sudden voice startled them. They looked over and saw that she was still asleep. She was sleeptalking.
They were all baffled for a moment before bursting into laughter. Bai Shishi was actually capable of saying such a thing in her sleep—what an instinctual response!
Bai Xiaole was speechless, but her words warmed his heart. As long as his sister was safe, he didn’t mind being beaten.
“Dean, since we’ve wiped out Brahma Pill Valley’s forces, shouldn’t we go further and destroy Brahma Pill Valley itself?” Long Chen asked.
