Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 391 - The Cicada Turned Out To Be A Monster.

Right after Ling Chen finished his sentence, a dignified and calm voice suddenly rang out from the deepest part of the Leviathan Palace ."I was waiting until the little friend's anger was appeased."

Immediately afterward, an old man flew out from the Leviathan Mountain Peak and appeared in front of Ling Chen in the blink of an eye.

The old man looked noble and lofty. He was extremely calm without a hint of anger on his face. He had a nervous smile on his face as he was looking at Ling Chen.

Looking at the old man's expression, Ling Chen couldn't help but ask with a confused expression on his face." This wasn't the expression I was expecting. Palace Lord, why aren't you pissed after I just killed seven Supreme Elders of your sect?"

Indeed, this old man was none other than the Palace Lord of the Leviathan Palace. However, the expression of the Palace Lord wasn't of that someone that had just witnessed the murder of seven of the Supreme Elders of his sect in his own domain.

One had to understand, the Supreme Elders were the true backbone of the Leviathan Palace. Losing seven of them meant that the Leviathan Palace had lost 70% of its power.

This was a major loss for the Leviathan Palace. From now on, it wouldn't be an easy task for the Leviathan Palace to rise at its peak again.

All of this was more than enough for the Palace Lord to want to cut Ling Chen to pieces and drink his blood. Alas, it wasn't the case.

The Palace Lord that was supposed to be boiling with anger and filled with hatred was as calm as ever. There wasn't a hint of anger and killing intent in his eyes.

Furthermore, the death of the seven Supreme Elders in the Leviathan Palace's ground itself was a great humiliation to the sect and its ruler.

Most would rather die than suffer this level of humiliation. It was better to be broken jade than perfect tile. However, the Palace Lord didn't seem to be negatively affected by it at all.

On the contrary, he looked pleased and refreshed as though he had just unloaded a heavyweight off his shoulders.

"Why would I be mad. I should instead thank the little friend for helping me get rid of those pests."Answered the Palace Lord with a grateful expression on his face.

"Huh!" Ling Chen was caught by surprise by the Palace Lord's sudden and unusual answer. However, in the next second, his eyes suddenly shone brightly as he understood eve everything.

'It seems like that old bastard used me to get rid of his enemies.'

Indeed, Ling Chen was right. Even though the Palace Lord was still the ruler of the Leviathan Palace, he had long lost all his power over the sect and was more like a figurehead.

Aside from one of the Supreme Elders, the remaining seven Supreme Elders were on the same fraction within the Sect and were all against him.

If it wasn't for the fact his cultivation base was higher than all of them, they would have long stripped him of the position of the Palace Lord.

Also, they needed his power as deference in keeping the other peak influences at bay just like he needed their power as well which was why none of them made a move on each other yet.

They were all in this odd mutual relationship where they used each other and depended on one another to maintain their position in the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe.

However, with the sudden reappearance of the last shard of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway key, everything has changed.

There was no need to keep that facade anymore as they all wanted to get out of the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe.

The Palace Lord already knew that the Seven Supreme Elders would make their move on him before they could assemble the Dimensional Spatial Gateway key including Ling Chen for his shard of the Dimensional Spatial Gateway key.

However, because they didn't know much about Ling Chen's true strength, they would try to take care of him together just to be safe.

Knowing that the Palace Lord pretended to leave the sect and left them alone with Ling Chen. He knew that they wouldn't miss that chance to take care of him.

The Palace Lord didn't believe that Ling Chen was strong enough to take care of the seven supreme elders. However, he would at least be able to heavily injured them with his crew before he died.

Then, he would step in to take care of injured Supreme Elders in one fell swoop without giving them any time to breathe or heal themselves.

That was the plan. However, he almost shit on himself after witnessing the event that just unfolded in front of him. He was truly frightened. This was a bit too heaven-defying!

It was simply too unbelievable and he wouldn't dare believe such a thing if he were told. Not only Ling Chen was able to kill all the seven Supreme Elders who were all True God King realm experts, he did so with such ease without sustaining any injuries.

Instead of being happy that Ling Chen had killed all the seven Supreme Elders, he was now scared shitless. This quick shift in mentality from confidence to nothingness left him in despair.

"I see, I can't believe there are still some people who dare to use me." Ling Chen coldly said as he was looking at the Palace Lord with a devilish smile on his face.

Listened to Ling Chen's words, the Palace Lord's expression became pale. He had already witnessed Ling Chen's true power with his own eyes. As such, he knew that he wasn't his opponent.

'It seems like I'll have to use that item to get away' The Palace Lord inwardly thought.

If it wasn't for the fact he was discovered by Ling Chen earlier, he would have long left this damn place for the Brahama Sect for real this time.

He was trying to be to play ' 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. But the mantis wasn't stalking a cicada, but a ferocious monster.

Not only the poor mantis were all devoured by that ferocious monster, but even the poor oriole might not be spared as well.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you or anything. I still have some use for you. As for the Leviathan Palace, I think I'll keep it as payment for your helping you." Ling Chen said with a devious smile on his face before asking the Dark Primordial Shura Gods to stop their assault on the Leviathan Palace through spiritual transmission.
