Heaven and Earth Alliance Assembles

After Long Chen finished speaking, he slapped Qi Xin unconscious. Carrying the bone blade in one hand and grabbing Qi Xin by the hair with the other, he walked down the mountain like he was dragging a dead dog.

A Man also carried his massive mace on his back, following closely behind Long Chen. The fifteen-foot-long mace, carried on his back, did not seem like a burden to him at all.

After the two figures disappeared, the crowd stood speechless for a long time. Although they hadn't known Long Chen for long, since his return from the Exile Land, he had completely changed.

He had become sharp and imposing, radiating a domineering aura like a peerless divine weapon; he had shed the rust from his body and begun to unleash his sharpness.

Especially the decisiveness and ruthlessness Long Chen displayed when he struck; it felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on everyone's hearts, completely intimidating them to the point where they didn't even dare to harbor the desire to fight back.

Long Chen was full of dominance and ferocity, one hand carrying the bone blade, the other dragging the unconscious Qi Xin. This image was one they would never be able to forget.

Originally, Qi Xin had invited Gu Yang and Lei Qianshang over to drink, secretly telling them about the tricks he had played.

Because many patrolling Disciples had discovered traces of Little Snow, but Little Snow only came by occasionally, never fought with anyone, and no one was bold enough to provoke her.

The period when Little Snow was discovered was during the time Long Chen was exiled. Qi Xin and the others knew about it, but they had never thought of targeting Little Snow.

Although they had advanced to the Tendon Tempering Realm, Little Snow was a Crimson Flame Snow Wolf, a king among third-rank Demonic Beasts. They weren't arrogant enough to provoke her.

This time, Long Chen's return had caused them to suffer a miserable defeat and lose all face, and Qi Xin immediately thought of Little Snow.

They couldn't touch Little Snow, but that didn't mean others couldn't. Thus, Qi Xin thought of Wu Qi, who had a grudge against Long Chen.

So, he secretly told Wu Qi that Long Chen had a third-rank Demonic Beast, a Crimson Flame Snow Wolf mount, that had been staying on the outskirts of the branch courtyard.

Wu Qi immediately gathered two Senior Brothers and went to capture Little Snow, but he clearly underestimated her combat power; all three of them ended up injured.

But regardless, Qi Xin's conspiracy succeeded. When Long Chen went to find Little Snow, he would come into conflict with Wu Qi, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

Today, hearing that Long Chen was searching for Little Snow with great fanfare, Qi Xin prepared to watch the tigers fight from the mountain, inviting the two of them to watch the spectacle.

But just as the three of them gathered, Long Chen arrived at their doorstep. As a result, they didn't get to see the show, and he himself was beaten into a cripple.

The entire scene was silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do; leaving didn't feel right, and staying didn't either.

Gu Yang struggled to stand up slowly. It had to be said, his body was incredibly tough; he could actually still stand.

"You all should go back first," Gu Yang said to the crowd. Only then did the crowd return to their Immortal Caves, and some had already started packing their luggage.

Because they realized there was nothing left to be attached to here. Their leader had been dragged away like a dead dog, and the entire guild had lost all face.

Furthermore, the madness Qi Xin displayed today made them shudder. If things continued like this, Long Chen and Qi Xin would be mortal enemies.

The two were now in a state of mortal enmity, but comparing the two, everyone agreed that Qi Xin didn't have as tough a life as Long Chen.

Are you kidding? He was able to crawl back from the Exile's Grave, creating a precedent in history. To plot against such a figure, wasn't that just courting death?

Now Long Chen was rising like a comet, and the five major factions led by the Heaven and Earth Association had combined into the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Now, this alliance could not be shaken by anyone.

Even a blind person could see the situation, but that guy Qi Xin was blinded by jealousy, actually doing such things that harmed others without benefiting himself. He was simply hopelessly stupid.

Now among the three major forces, the Heaven and Earth Alliance was the dominant one, and they were the second largest, but they were the mortal enemies of Long Chen's side.

As long as Long Chen was around, they would never get ahead. As for Guan Wennan's side, they had always maintained a conservative strategy; as long as he wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't get involved in this muddy water.

Then the future situation was very clear: the Heaven and Earth Association would take the top five spots, and the rest would be left to Guan Wennan and those neutral forces. And as for their side, heh heh, as long as Long Chen was still alive, they would never get ahead.

And since Long Chen's life was so tough, that meant the hope of getting ahead here was very slim.

Since they couldn't get ahead, they might as well quit the guild. Even if they weren't guild Disciples, they could still take on some missions. Although there weren't as many as in the guild, at least they wouldn't have to be hostile towards someone like Long Chen.

Being enemies with a man who was like a god of death all day long—after all, that required more than just courage, and they, as it happened, didn't even have that.

Seeing the people in front of him disperse, Gu Yang swallowed a Medicinal Pill to suppress the injuries in his body, unable to help but sigh.

Originally, one Long Chen was already terrifying enough, but now a monster even more terrifying than Long Chen had appeared. They were completely without hope.

Gu Yang couldn't help but feel some regret. He had indeed been too arrogant at the beginning, wanting to rely on absolute force to suppress Tang Waner and the others and make them completely submit.

Originally, he disdained using methods like arranging undercover agents, but under Qi Xin's instigation, he had agreed.

Now because of you, Qi Xin, the two sides had become mortal enemies. The sudden, strong rise of Long Chen had made their future completely bleak.

"How are you?" Gu Yang pulled Lei Qianshang and hauled him up.

"I suffered a backlash from the lightning power; I'm afraid I'll need to recuperate for a period of time," Lei Qianshang said with a grave expression.

"How is that possible?" Gu Yang was greatly shocked. He understood Lei Qianshang; although he wasn't as strong as himself, his combat strength was absolutely fierce.

What shocked him the most was that Lei Qianshang had actually been backlashed by lightning power. This was simply unimaginable; he was a lightning cultivator, after all.

Lei Qianshang smiled bitterly: "It's true. I don't know how Long Chen did it. His lightning power was incomparably violent. That punch not only shattered my lightning blade but also caused the lightning power within my body to become violent, backlashing against me."

Long Chen's punch shattered Lei Qianshang's pride. For the first time, he felt his own insignificance.

"Since you're fine, take a Medicinal Pill and suppress the injuries temporarily. Let's go take a look too. I feel that Long Chen won't let this rest this time; he will very likely go and find trouble with that law enforcer. It'll be good to watch the spectacle."

Gu Yang sighed and said. His arms were broken, and he should have gone directly to the Medical Hall for treatment, but he didn't want to miss Long Chen's revenge.

Just a moment ago, he had felt it; this time, Long Chen's killing intent was even more terrifying than last time. His intuition told him that there was a big show to watch this time.

Lei Qianshang nodded, also took a Medicinal Pill to suppress his internal injuries, and together with Gu Yang, walked in the direction Long Chen had left.

On the Xuantian Plaza, the five major factions of the Heaven and Earth Alliance had all gathered. Everyone's nerves were tense, and at the same time, they were filled with an inexplicable excitement.

Last time, Long Chen led them to brutally beat up Gu Yang's side, allowing them to vent the pent-up frustration in their hearts all at once. That feeling of relief was simply indescribable.

Now, hearing that Qi Xin had started plotting and scheming behind people's backs again, everyone began to rub their hands, preparing to fight Qi Xin and his group again.

"Waner, did Long Chen really say not to go over? After all, Qi Xin and his subordinates are so numerous; I'm afraid Long Chen won't be able to handle it," Ye Zhiqiu said.

After all, Long Chen was going over alone, facing a hundred experts by himself; it was still too disadvantageous.

"Long Chen isn't alone; he has his brother with him," Tang Waner said, recalling A Man's giant-like physique, unable to help but shake her head.

Although A Man didn't speak much, the powerful pressure naturally emanating from him made even someone as strong as her feel some difficulty breathing.

It was evident that A Man was absolutely a terrifyingly powerful expert. With him and Long Chen together, there was nothing to worry about. If there was anything to worry about, it was worrying for Qi Xin, that he shouldn't be beaten to death by Long Chen.

"This Qi Xin is simply too trashy. The first time, he arranged for spies and undercover agents; he is despicable and shameless.

The second time, relying on his powerful strength, even though he had already snatched the flag, he still beat our Disciples underneath, breaking their bones and tendons, and wantonly humiliated them.

This time, Long Chen returned and gave them a taste of their own medicine—an eye for an eye—and openly defeated them. And then they cooked up this conspiracy. If I were Long Chen, I would definitely slap him to death," Luo Cang said indignantly.

After Luo Cang finished speaking, he felt the atmosphere become somewhat strange. Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, Ye Zhiqiu, and Tang Waner were all looking at him.

"Did I say something wrong?" Luo Cang said, somewhat at a loss.

Song Mingyuan shook his head and said with a worried expression: "Even you want to slap Qi Xin to death; I don't know if Long Chen will be able to hold back."

Only then was Luo Cang startled: "Oh no, that's true. With Long Chen's personality, he might just cut his head off and use it as a stool. No, we must hurry and stop him."

Tang Waner shook her head and said: "It's useless. Long Chen has already been gone for a quarter of an hour. Even if we go, whatever needed to be cut would have already been cut."

The crowd couldn't help but fall silent. Last time, Long Chen killed five Outer Sect Disciples and was exiled to the Chaotic Stone Wasteland.

If Long Chen really killed a Core Disciple, the trouble would be huge. For a moment, everyone felt extremely resentful.

Qi Xin was simply a pile of dog shit. If you don't step on it, it keeps emitting a foul smell; if you do step on it, it splashes all over your shoe. You can't avoid it, and you can't kick it away.

"So many people are coming," a Disciple suddenly exclaimed. They saw many Disciples rushing towards the Xuantian Plaza one after another.

Among them were several Core Disciples, and some even saw the figure of Guan Wennan. Clearly, they had all been alarmed and were here to watch the show.

As time passed, more and more people gathered. The originally empty plaza suddenly became lively.

There were also a few forces allied with Gu Yang and the others who had come over. Seeing the people from the Heaven and Earth Alliance gathering, their hearts couldn't help but skip a beat, vaguely feeling that something was amiss.

Thousands of Disciples stood far away, whispering and guessing from time to time. After all, they didn't know what had actually happened; they only knew the Heaven and Earth Alliance was gathering here, but they weren't clear about the specific situation.

However, it wasn't hard to guess that the Heaven and Earth Alliance was about to make a big move. Just as everyone was speculating, two figures suddenly walked towards here.

When everyone saw those two people clearly, whether it was the Heaven and Earth Alliance or other factions, whether they were Core Disciples or Outer Sect Disciples, they were all absolutely terrified, their eyeballs about to pop out.
