Chapter 7146 So You Choose to Die
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Long Chen’s expression remained icy and murderous, in spite of Xuan Jizi’s show of power. He was soaked in blood and his aura had plummeted, but his ferocious air had not weakened. His words were filled with unquestionable might.
Everyone was shocked. Xuan Jizi was clearly on Ying Luo’s level at the very least, perhaps even stronger. His aura was bearing down upon everyone with gargantuan pressure; they couldn’t even form the will to resist. Yet Long Chen had just told him off without a moment’s hesitation! He left no room for negotiation!
Xuan Jizi’s expression didn’t change after Long Chen’s response. He calmly smiled. “Dean Long Chen, the High Firmament Academy is the oldest academy of the nine heavens and ten lands. It has preserved the human race’s legacy over countless years. With these contributions, it is no exaggeration to call the High Firmament Academy the leader of the human race. For the karmic luck dragon manifestation to appear in the first academy is a show that the heavens bless the High Firmament Academy. Thus, it is also a blessing to the entire human race. With the ten thousand races fighting for dominance, if the High Firmament Academy can share this karmic luck with the peak heavenly geniuses of the human race, wouldn’t that be of great merit?”
The High Firmament Academy’s experts were all outraged by Xuan Jizi’s words. Now they understood that Xuan Jizi was absolutely on the enemy’s side.
Xuan Jizi continued, “If the High Firmament Academy shares a portion of its karmic luck, then when the other factions awaken their own karmic luck dragon manifestations, they will naturally repay the High Firmament Academy in dividends. Dean Long Chen, I’m sure you’re the kind of person who can see the big picture. You see what is important and what isn’t. The human race ought to win or lose as one, to share in fortune and misfortune alike. A humble Daoist like me cannot understand why someone like you would do something so outrageous as to use his butcher’s blade on his own people. Must you truly slaughter everyone?”
Long Chen’s expression remained icy. He had seen way too many sanctimonious hypocrites like this in his lifetime. These people who used morals to control others were among the most hateful beings in existence. Moreover, he strongly suspected that the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect was actually behind the Immortal Ascension Gate and all the others attacking the first academy. In fact, perhaps the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect was the true organizer!
The High Firmament Academy’s rapid rise had caused the major factions to feel wary. These slumbering monsters that had been hidden for countless years were all awakening.
The Heaven's Peer Dao Sect had been inactive for untold ages, and they had been growing all this time. They had definitely accumulated an enormous amount of power. However, if they wanted to return to the peak of the human race and become the leaders of the immortal path once more, then the High Firmament Academy was definitely a major rival. They were wary of the High Firmament Academy, not because of its power, but because of its prestige.
Much unlike them, the High Firmament Academy had fought countless battles for the human race. As a result, many of their experts died on the battlefield. Their branch academies fell one after the others, and they were on the verge of death many times, but their unbending wills still did not crumble.
Although there were many people in the nine heavens and ten lands who mocked the High Firmament Academy and viewed it as a declining colossus that had long since reached the point of collapse, powerful forces that had been around since the dawn of civilization held a completely different view. They considered the High Firmament Academy one of the pillars of the human race—the human race’s unyielding spine.
Now, the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect had come out of its burrow. They had immediately used their immense power to announce to the world that the former leader of the human race was back, only to discover that many factions of humanity treated them apathetically. In fact, there even seemed to be some contempt.
As for why that was, it was all too obvious. The High Firmament Academy and countless others had always fought with all their might against the outsider devils, whether during the primal chaos war or after that. But the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect had gone into hiding ever since. Now that the great era was here, they ran back to partake in the profits, but people were no longer interested in having them be their leader.
The Heaven's Peer Dao Sect had a bad feeling and immediately decided that they had to start winning over other people’s hearts. As a result, they clashed with the outsider devils multiple times and won some great battles. They also took the initiative to help some weaker sects. They provided some resources, allowed those sects’ top heavenly geniuses to cultivate in the blessed lands of the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect, and even provided those disciples with guidance.
However, this was only enough to influence some of those weaker factions. The stronger factions still treated them with apathy.
It was at this time that the very first karmic luck dragon manifestation appeared over the first academy. That immediately caused the surrounding forces to feel antsy. However, they were wary of the High Firmament Academy’s strength, and they were also afraid of offending the High Firmament Academy’s supporters. They didn’t have the courage to actually attack.
But when the Immortal Ascension Gate gathered some of them and tried to discuss things with the High Firmament Academy, they were firmly rejected. They tried to force the first academy to submit, but none of them dared to make any rash decisions. It was at this time that the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect appeared and subtly hinted to them that if matters really escalated beyond expectations, they would step in to solve the problem.
After seeing the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect’s attitude, the Immortal Ascension Gate and the others were much more confident. They sent in their armies with no misgivings.
Originally, they had thought that the massive army alone would be enough to terrify the first academy into submission. In front of such a titanic show of force, the first academy would only be able to bow its head. Naturally, they hadn’t expected Long Chen to appear. And when he did, his goal was not just to fight them, reach a truce, or even defeat them; his goal was to exterminate them to the very last man or beast. Worse still, even with an expert like Ying Luo joining in, they were still crushed. This result was unacceptable to them.
Just then, Tu Jie took the initiative to step forward and proclaim, “Senior Xuan Jizi, Long Chen is a black-hearted murderer! We only came to talk things out! It would’ve been one thing if we didn’t reach a satisfactory conclusion, but he actually started a massacre! We are all part of the human race, and we all fight for our future! If the heavens bestowed the karmic luck dragon manifestation upon our human race’s territory, that is a blessing for everyone! What is wrong with us wanting a share? We’ve all taken hideous losses, and the High Firmament Academy must give us an explanation! Senior Xuan Jizi, please give us justice!”
“That’s right, Long Chen is a butcher! He can’t be let off! The Heaven's Peer Dao Sect must uphold justice for us!”
“Long Chen’s hands are stained with the blood of humanity! How can we let such a scourge continue existing?! Senior Xuan Jizi, you must kill him to prevent the human race from descending into chaos!”
More and more experts stepped forward, following Tu Jie’s lead. Long Chen was instantly proclaimed to be the worst person in existence. The High Firmament Academy’s disciples were all outraged; they had never seen such shameless people.
Miao Yin had actually felt a bit bad in the beginning, when Long Chen said that he wanted to kill them all. But this sight caused the flames of fury to grow within her heart. Not one of these people was innocent!
“You keep saying that you’re doing everything for the sake of the human race. But what about them?” Miao Yin suddenly pointed at the Heaven Demon Golden Crystal Monkey race and the other demonic beast races whose representatives were here in vast numbers.
Even though her voice wasn’t loud, it penetrated through the messy shouting and clearly entered everyone’s ears. Those people slandering Long Chen were startled; they had actually forgotten that not all of them were human.
“They… We invited them to bear witness!” declared one person. But he clearly didn’t even believe his own words. If the demonic beasts were just here to bear witness, why would they have participated in the battle? If they hadn’t been promised some of the benefits, why would they have come?
Xuan Jizi looked at Long Chen. “Dean Long Chen, I feel like sharing is important…”
“It seems that you choose to die. Then let’s do as you wish!”
Long Chen gloomily started forming hand seals.
Just then, a thunderous roar rang out through the sky.
“Heaven's Peer Dao Sect, you really are reaching everywhere with your claws! Are you looking for death right now?”
