Chapter 6900 Both Sides Getting What They Want

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Soul Peering Devil Eyes were not a magical art but a bloodline divine ability of the Spirit Devil race. Within the nine heavens and ten lands, only the Spirit Devils with the noblest bloodlines could use it.

The Spirit Devil possessed sharp perception and the ability to see through things. However, their actual combat power was very low.

During the primal chaos war, the Spirit Devil race fought alongside the ten thousand races against the outsider devils. But after their defeat, the Spirit Devils lacked the power to protect themselves and were believed to have been wiped out.

It was a surprise to encounter them here. If it were not for those specific devil wing marks around their eyes, no one would have noticed them.

Their hoods had a special formation to hide their auras, but Long Chen still spotted them. When he used his Purgatory Eyes, they covered their faces and screamed as blood ran through their fingers.

You call this being guests?! Long Chen shouted, pointing at them as he looked at Luo Xing icily.

Zi Nuos expression turned cold as well. He didnt like Long Chens violent methods, but these people had crossed the line first. Secretly using pupil arts to spy on them was not simply rude; it was a provocation.

No wonder Zi Nuo felt something strange the moment they entered. It seemed that these devil eyes were examining him. However, they werent focused directly on him, so Zi Nuo didnt realize what it was.

This was different from Long Chen. They stared at him with no misgivings as soon as they walked in. Thanks to his sharp senses, Long Chen noticed them right away, even with their special clothes hiding their presence.

Long Chen was angry, not just because they tried to uncover his secrets, but because they did it so openly, hiding only behind some clothes. Did they look down on him that much?

Luo Xing cursed inside when he saw they had been exposed. The higher-ups had promised these people were experts at hiding and wouldnt be discovered. Now, he had truly lost face.

Luo Xing shook with anger. He couldnt say anything in response to Long Chens interrogation. Clearly, this wasnt his area of expertise.

At this time, Liao Yuhuang stepped forward and bowed to Long Chen.

She said, Dean Long Chen, this matter is not Pavilion Master Luo Xings fault. My junior apprentice-brothers simply did not know how high the heavens were and wrongly tried to examine you. Dean Long Chen, we can consider this a small lesson for them. Its a good thing. I believe they wont dare to be so brash again. Shouldnt you fools hurry up and apologize to Dean Long Chen? If Dean Long Chen hadnt been merciful, none of you would be able to cry now.

Liao Yuhuang gestured to those disciples, frightening them into crawling up and bowing.

We were foolish and offended Dean Long Chen. Dean Long Chen, please forgive us! shouted one of them.

Their eyes were ruined, and no one knew if they would ever heal. With blood covering their faces, they looked frightening.

Long Chen ignored them and focused on Liao Yuhuang.

He asked, My old friend didnt even greet me and only spoke when things got messy. Are you trying to exploit our friendship?

Only then did Zi Nuo and the others realize that this person knew Long Chen. They had no clue what was going on.

Liao Yuhuang shook her head. Dean Long Chen, you misunderstood. I am now the Zither Sects Music Maestro, which is like a vice pavilion master. Because of status and seniority, Pavilion Master Luo Xing outranks me, so I usually wouldnt speak. But Pavilion Master Luo Xing is skilled in music, not conversation. To avoid more misunderstandings, I had to speak up. Please forgive me, Dean Long Chen.

Liao Yuhuangs voice was gentle and pleasant to hear, but her humble words surprised Chi Yutong and Xin Yu. They realized she actually held a powerful position.

Music Maestro was a title given only to the top geniuses in the Zither Sect.

Their greatest heavenly genius was called the Music Grandmaster, a title similar to the Wine God Palaces High Deacon. The Music Grandmaster would inherit the position of sect master.

Below the Music Grandmaster were the four Music Maestros, each leading one of the Zither Sects four pavilions. They were the most powerful disciples after the Music Grandmaster.

Regular disciple rankings in the Zither Sect started below the Music Maestros and Grandmaster. Even Ye Zifan, who was in the top ten, couldnt compare to Liao Yuhuang.

Haha, Im genuinely impressed. I never thought Miss Yuhuang would rise from a nobody in the nine heavens to become the Music Maestro here. Congratulations on your promotion! Long Chen said, cupping his fists to her.

Liao Yuhuang shook her head and replied, Back then, I hadn't found my opportunities and missed a lot of valuable time. However, now that the sect master has personally directed me and I have gained approval from the Heavenly Devil Zither, I am essentially a different person. Since we are old friends, I came here to discuss how to address Fairy Zi Yans situation with Dean Long Chen.

Long Chens expression turned cold once more.

He declared, There is nothing to discuss. Like I said before, if anything happens to Zi Yan, I will definitely bathe the Zither Sect in blood! I will not leave a single trace of life behind!

Liao Yuhuang grew angry too and shouted, Dean Long Chen, dont think the sweeping elders support lets you do whatever you want! The Zither Sects strength is beyond your imagination. If we really wanted to kill you, do you think youd make it out of the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture alive?

Do you believe me when I say you wont leave the Wine God Palace alive?! Long Chen countered.

Impudence!

Liao Yuhuang suddenly raised her hand at him. Five-colored divine light flashed from her fingers as she struck Long Chen with them.

You are the one being impudent! No matter what kind of opportunities youve encountered, you will never be able to close the gap between us! Long Chen snorted and struck back, violet divine light covering his palm.

BOOM!

The seemingly casual exchange unleashed a terrifying soundwave that blew back the Zither Sects disciples.

Zi Nuo stepped forward and blocked the impact for Chi Yutong and Xin Yu. The soundwave bounced off an invisible force, but another power slipped past Zi Nuos defenses and attacked their souls.

The next moment, divine light flashed out of Zi Nuos forehead and extinguished the invisible force.

Still, Chi Yutong and Xin Yu were shocked. Even though the attack was blocked, their souls still hurt. Without Zi Nuos help, they would have been seriously hurt.

Meanwhile, the Zither Sects disciples all looked pale. They had clearly suffered a spiritual injury.

Long Chen and Liao Yuhuangs palms kept colliding. Violet energy and multicolored light clashed again and again, shaking the whole palace.

BOOM!

Suddenly, both Long Chen and Liao Yuhuang had to step back. Long Chen sneered, Youve gotten stronger, but its still not enough to threaten me.

Liao Yuhuang pulled back her hand and said calmly, Im just one of the four Music Maestros. Above me is the Music Grandmaster. Youve already lost the Heaven Earth Cauldron. If you fought the Music Grandmaster, you wouldnt stand a chance.

Long Chen narrowed his eyes, but before he could answer, Liao Yuhuang continued, Imnot here to threaten you. We came in good faith. I want to find a way for both sides to get what they want.

You want both of us to get what we want? Long Chen repeated, raising an eyebrow.

Liao Yuhuang smiled.

So, am I qualified to talk nicely to Dean Long Chen now?
