The four elders before Long Chen were the assistant race leaders of Heavenly Maple Valley, each personally chosen by Long Zhantian.There was something rather comical about their arrangement. Luo Ningshuang was the race leader, the four of them were assistant race leaders, yet Long Zhantian held the title of valley master.
At first, Long Chen had found the hierarchy confusing. Only later did he realize his fathers intent.
Long Zhantian was still from the Jiuli race. If he were to act as the race leader here, it would be saying that the Jiuli race was in charge of the violet blood racean implication that would inevitably sow resentment over time.
To avoid this, while still retaining overall authority, Long Zhantian designated himself valley master and placed Luo Ningshuang as the race leader.
The most amusing part was that this valley master was, strictly speaking, the only outsider in all of Heavenly Maple Valley.
Despite that, everyone in the violet blood race idolized him.
To consolidate the position of Heavenly Maple Valley, Long Zhantian had used brute force to destroy multiple evil factions. He possessed both strength and insight, and his grasp of the greater picture was formidable.
These four elders were peak Divine Emperors. They were so old that there was no chance of them making a breakthrough to the Sovereign Lord realm. However, all four of them had solid characters and wisdom. That was why they had earned Long Zhantians trust.
In his absence, they handled all external affairs, ensuring the valley ran smoothly. As the race leader, Luo Ningshuang only focused on nurturing the next generation of disciples and never bothered with what was going on outside of that.
After questioning them, Long Chen learned that his father had set up a grand formation around Heavenly Maple Valley. The formation eye of this grand formation was actually that giant withered tree.
This land had once been an ancestral site of the violet blood race. Although the tree had long since withered, it was not dead. It existed in a perpetual state of near-death, awaiting a chance to awaken.
There was a formation eye under it. After Long Zhantians repairs, it was now fully functional.
If there was an enemy attack, each of the four assistant race leaders would use a formation disc that could act as a key to activate the grand formation.
This formation was called the Violet Blood Heavenly Constellation Formation. It could only be activated by those of violet blood lineage.
Moreover, its power scaled with the amount of violet blood energy present. With so many members of the violet blood race gathered here, the barrier it generated was strong enough that even a Divine Sovereign could not breach it in a short time.
Should a Divine Sovereign truly descend, the resulting battle would shake heaven and earth. Even if communication were severed, such disturbances would be noticed by countless factions, and news would inevitably spread.
Given Long Chens ties with the Huayun Trading Company, word would reach him immediately. For this reason, Long Zhantian was confident that Heavenly Maple Valley would remain secure in his absence.
Heavenly Maple Valley is named after the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree, Long Chen murmured. So thats the origin.
He then asked, What about the traitors? Have there been any unusual movements recently?
Junior Race Leader, with how quickly you seized Luo Xis soul, none of the others noticed anything amiss. His companions remain unaware. However, based on our surveillance, they appear to be awaiting orders. We will report any movement to you immediately, replied one elder.
Are you certain of their numbers? And do you know why they turned against us? Long Chen asked.
The elder answered, The Valley Master confirmed a total of 157 traitors. They are backed by three forces: the Brahma line, the Lifehunter race, and the shadow devil race. However, none of their agents appear to be in contact with one another. Most likely, they are unaware of each others existence.
He paused briefly before continuing.
Lately, all three factions were rather antsy. They sent people out, most likely to get in contact with the spies. But yesterday, they suddenly became quiet again. That has made us uneasy. It suggests our enemies are preparing something. Still, we have followed the Valley Masters instructionsdo nothing to alert them. We simply wait and remain ready to fight at any moment.
So Long Zhantian had long since identified them and deliberately left them in place as a warning system. By observing their movements, he could anticipate the enemys next steps.
By now, the enemy should already know that Long Chen was present in Heavenly Maple Valley. Judging by the traitors behavior, a surprise attack should have been launched today.
The reason they were still waiting was likely due to Long Chens arrival.
At this point, they had only a few options: abandon the ambush entirely, wait for Long Chen to leave, or gather more experts and attempt to eliminate him as well.
If they chose the last option, there would certainly be more than one Divine Sovereign. After all, Long Chen had already slain one. In a one-on-one fight, even a Divine Sovereign was no longer his match.
After understanding the current state of affairs, Long Chen had the four assistant race leaders continue their surveillance. He also told them not to be nervouspatience was key.
Ive killed one Divine Sovereign of the Lifehunter race. Do they have more? Hehe, Zhi Zhi, can you investigate the soul of a Divine Sovereign?
Zhizhi
Zhi Zhi responded that it had awakened many of its core runes, but its control over them still needed some refinement. It needed real combat to fully master them.
If a Divine Sovereign appeared, Zhi Zhi wanted the opportunity to test itself. If it truly possessed the strength to challenge one Divine Sovereign on its own, then controlling that soul would not be impossible.
You think you can fight a Divine Sovereign? asked Long Chen in surprise.
Zhizhi
Zhi Zhi said that it could try. If the opponent were similar to the Divine Sovereign Long Chen had killed before, it believed the chances of success were high.
This answer startled Long Chen. He had not expected Zhi Zhis strength to have grown so rapidly.
In truth, after the heaven regions battlefield, Zhi Zhi had absorbed a huge amount of energy. During Long Chens tribulation, it had also shared in the astral energy and thunderforce. Its growth had been dramatic.
Big Brother Long Chen, I can fight a Divine Sovereign! I want to see how much of a gap there is between me and a Divine Sovereign! exclaimed Huo Linger.
Me too! Lei Linger chimed in, her voice full of anticipation.
She had not only absorbed the power of the heavenly tribulation but also devoured Tian Leizis core energy. Having only just digested it, she did not yet know how strong she had become and was eager to test herself.
Big Brother Long Chen, Im here too. Master bestowed my Heaven Earth power that reforged me. I want to test my new power, said Yao Linger as well.
Hahaha, alright. Then lets see just how highly our enemies regard me this time. I hope they send a few extra Divine Sovereigns.
Long Chen laughed excitedly. He could hardly wait for his enemies to come.
But before that, I have to go save the Heavenly Mapl Divine Tree, Long Chen said.
Long Chen suppressed his emotions and returned to the giant tree. He pressed a hand against its trunk.
