Chapter 6864 Devil Hunting Legion’s Bai Shu
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Xin Yu, Chi Yutong, and the other divine sons and divine daughters were stunned. These people were wearing black armor and divine weapons.
“It’s the devil-hunting legion of the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning!”
“They always dominate the tenth place of the Devil Hunting Rankings!”
The Devil Hunting Rankings were a sacred list in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. Various sects and clans were ranked by their devil hunting points.
This ranking had existed since ancient times, with points continuously accumulated up to the present. They were a symbol of a sect’s status and strength.
The power of the Flame God Sect’s devil hunting legion could not be underestimated, but the Flame God Palace was still ranked outside the top five hundred.
It was not that Chi Yutong was too weak; rather, the Flame God Palace had declined too greatly, leaving successive generations unable to maintain their ranking.
By Chi Yutong’s generation, she had to work hard to hunt down higher-level devils and rack up more points. She managed to pull them from outside the top thousand up to rank 531.
Furthermore, the points from her last hunt had yet to be tallied. She estimated there was a chance they could make the top 500 this time.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning’s devil hunting legion was famous and possessed terrifying power.
Every three years, the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture would hold a devil hunting competition. Only the top hundred were allowed to participate.
The Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning always achieved strong results at these competitions. This showed that they did not rely solely on past glory to maintain their tenth-place ranking; they truly had the power to keep it.
This time, thirty members had arrived, each radiating a powerful aura.
In particular, their leader wore blood-red armor, and his spear was still stained with fresh devil blood. The sight made the disciples feel suffocated.
“It’s Bai Shu, the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning’s number two expert! The only one able to suppress him is Mo Jiang. Don’t tell me that the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning is planning on suppressing Long Chen through brute force?!” exclaimed Xin Yu.
Xin Yu and Chi Yutong both knew that things would not end well today once they saw Bai Shu.
However, Long Chen didn’t even glance at Bai Shu or the others.
Turning to the violet-robed master, he said, “From your tone, it seems you understand the Dao? Then let me hear your understanding.”
Emboldened by the arrival of the devil hunting legion, the violet-robe master coldly said, “The Dao is a path and the pinnacle of simplicity. That is my explanation of the Dao. To cultivate the Dao is to walk the path of cultivation. It’s laughable that you don’t even understand such a simple thing. To cultivate the Dao is to seek long life, to strive for liberation. Everyone calls them paths. There are even sayings of three thousand Grand Daos and a hundred thousand Minor Daos. You don’t even know these things, yet you dare to lecture others. You are truly a frog at the bottom of a well talking about the ocean, a summer bug discussing ice.”
The violet-robe master was confident about these things. He had practically memorized them.
“If the Dao is a path, where does the path lead?” asked Long Chen.
The violet-robe master answered, “Whatever you cultivate is where the path leads.”
“If I want to climb a mountain, I must create a path. But my goal is the mountain’s peak, not the path itself. Your understanding of the Dao is unconvincing,” Long Chen said, shaking his head.
When the spectators pondered Long Chen’s words, the violet-robe master’s seemingly reasonable explanation of the Dao suddenly seemed full of holes.
“Hmph, then what do you say is the Dao?” The violet-robe master snorted.
“I don’t know.”
“If you don’t know, how can you say that my explanation is unconvincing?”
“Because you said the Dao is a path. If it is a path, it is just a direction. If it’s just a direction, then it is categorized as a technique once more, not the Dao.”
Not expecting Long Chen to be so troublesome, the violet-robe master stopped arguing. “You’re talking nonsense!"
Long Chen shook his head. "If you consider the Dao a path, then even false paths would be Dao. Therefore, even spouting nonsense could be Dao.”
“You!”
“Since we’re both spouting nonsense and leading people astray, neither of us can persuade the other!”
The violet-robe master furiously pointed at Long Chen and shouted, “Devil hunting legion, capture this arrogant bastard!”
Bai Shu immediately raised his spear toward Long Chen.
He said, “I’ve long since found you to be an eyesore. You dared to strike a white-robe master, so you will pay for your arrogance. Come, unleash your full power. I will see if your fists are as tough as your tongue!”
Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and Yan Li stood up simultaneously. Before everyone’s eyes, they moved to stand beside Long Chen.
They expressed that they would go to war with the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning over this matter.
“Have the Spirit Heart Sect and Flame God Sect gone crazy?! They aren’t weak, but there’s still a huge gap between them and the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning!” shouted a spectator.
This action would bring harm to their sects. After all, the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning didn’t just have many talented members; it also had disciples planted within nearly every sect in the divine prefecture.
Their network was extremely terrifying.
If they truly offended the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning, there was no need for the palace itself to take action. It could simply rally the sects associated with it, and that would crush them.
“Divine Daughter Xin Yu, Divine Daughter Yutong, are you really planning on standing with him? Do you wish to declare war on the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning?” Bai Shu asked, his eyes narrowing.
Although his expression was cold and apathetic, quite a few people felt the flames of jealousy in his eyes when the two divine daughters stood by Long Chen.
“I heard that Bai Shu tried to get close to Chi Yutong, but he was mercilessly rejected. Now it seems that he’s intent on killing Long Chen,” whispered someone.
“There was such a thing?”
“It was a rumor. But from his jealous expression, it seems true.”
“Long Chen did seem like a real master when discussing the Dao. I wonder if he has the power to fight Bai Shu?”
The various experts quietly whispered among themselves.
At this moment, Liu Piaopiao and a few others who had shown good intentions toward Long Chen were silent. They had all wanted to build a good relationship with Long Chen before.
But since ancient times, although many people liked to suck up, only a few would be willing to help during difficult times.
“Boss, let me deal with him!” Yan Li exclaimed, stepping forward.
Xin Yu pulled Yan Li back and took his place.
“You aren’t a match for him. Let me!”
