Chapter 5075 Provocation

Long Chen looked back to see a large and bald heavenly genius of the Netherdragon race who was covered in black runes—Netherdragon Wushang.

Netherdragon Wushang was accompanied by dozens of Heavenly Chosens from the Netherdragon race. These powerful Heavenly Chosens were like his servants, looking completely subservient.

Arrogantly, Netherdragon Wushang walked through the crowd, prompting countless experts to open a path for him. When he stopped right in front of the stage, Liao Yuhuang frowned. She had been listening to Long Chen when this disturbance occurred.

Netherdragon Wushang sneered, “What dragon cow race? They’ve long since been eliminated from the ranks of the dragon race. You don’t know anything, yet you still spout nonsense.”

Long Chen and Netherdragon Wushang instantly became the focus of countless gazes. Everyone wondered why Netherdragon Wushang was targeting Long Chen so directly.

There were many different races here, and some were not too clear on the situation within the dragon race. They had thought the dragon race was always united. Why would they suddenly start fighting amongst themselves?

Hu Xiaoyu and Feng You were in the crowd. When Hu Xiaoyu saw Long Chen’s figure, her heart quivered. 

“Big Sister, look at that person. Doesn’t he look like…?”

Feng You couldn’t help but sigh. “They look similar. But unfortunately, that’s not him. He should be in the first branch academy, acting as a glorious dean.”

Back when they had parted ways with the High Firmament Academy, she had her own motives. She was a competitive person and didn’t want to rely on Long Chen too much. Moreover, she wanted to continue being her own boss and lead the mixed beast race to glory, relying on her own power to achieve her dreams.

By Long Chen’s side, she always felt inferior as all the mixed beast race’s experts worshiped him. She was worried that one day, she would become dispensable to them, an existence they could do without.

Hence, she made the resolute decision to leave. But now, she started to regret it. She didn’t regret what she had experienced—that was simply her punishment for her choices. What she regretted was leading all the people she had been entrusted with down the wrong path, dragging them down with her.

She had thought that they could soar in the mixed beast alliance. After all, that was their race, their people. But her own race treated her even worse than others.

In any case, after the arrow left the bow, there was no going back. So, she could only continue forward. As long as she didn’t die, there would always be a chance.

Thus, she placed her hopes on the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, wanting to become a Heavenly Chosen inside. Then she would reclaim everything she had lost.

Staring at Bai Dale’s back, she suddenly felt lonely and thought of Long Chen. She thought of Long Chen, his reassuring smile, and his shoulders that, despite not being broad, felt capable of carrying the very heavens. If only he were here.

Just as Feng You’s thoughts were a mess, Netherdragon Wushang came up to Long Chen. He stood a full head taller, making Long Chen seem small and weak in comparison.

Long Chen observed him with an indifferent smile and mocked, “If I don’t know, are you supposed to? How much can a traitor like you possibly know? And you have the gall to talk about being removed from the ranks of the dragon race? Do you realize that the Netherdragon race was expelled from that list long ago? Is it fun being the pot calling the kettle black?”

The expressions of the Netherdragon experts darkened, and their weapons instantly appeared in their hands. It seemed they might tear Long Chen apart at any moment.

Long Chen scoffed at their response. “Don’t bother acting here. If you dare to attack me here, I guarantee all of you will die. Do you want to try it?”

This was the Glacial Heaven Plaza, where Lord Brahma and Fallen Daynight’s statues stood. Anyone who dared to attack someone here would be blaspheming the gods, which was the greatest provocation to the Brahma Pill Valley. They definitely would not tolerate it.

The Netherdragon race’s disciples wanted to act tough, thinking that their appearance plus the reputation of the Netherdragon race would be enough to scare Long Chen. Unfortunately, they forgot where they were and didn’t know who they were facing.

“Don’t be rude!” shouted Netherdragon Wushang

Unexpectedly, Netherdragon Wushang had some brains, telling his subordinates to calm down. They immediately loosened the grips on their weapons, making it clear that they weren’t backing down because of Long Chen’s words, but out of respect for Netherdragon Wushang.

“Little fellow, we’ll meet again in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. Hopefully, you can still act tough then,” said Netherdragon Wushang coldly.

Long Chen ignored him and turned back to Liao Yuhuang. “Don’t listen to the blabbering of fools. Since you’ve obtained the blessing of the dragon cow, you must cherish it. Remember my words.”

“Many thanks for your reminder. Junior Liao Yuhuang is endlessly grateful. May I ask for sir’s great name?”

“I am Bai Dale.” Long Chen cupped his fists.

Hearing Long Chen’s made-up name, the Netherdragon experts started laughing at him.

“Hahaha!”

“What a shitty name!”

“That’s clearly the name of some wretch.”

When Liao Yuhuang saw their behavior, her expression sank. She chided, “A name is just a name. It doesn’t represent a person’s power, nor does it reflect a person’s upbringing. For you to look down on him because of a name, doesn’t that show your lack of manners?”

She felt great respect for Bai Dale as she was focused on pursuing the Dao. Long Chen’s words had been very beneficial to her, making her deeply grateful. For these people to insult him made even someone like her angry.

Feeling her anger, the Netherdragon disciples fell silent and exchanged uneasy glances. They didn’t want to offend the Zither Sect, especially knowing that the Zither Sect’s relationship with the Brahma Pill Valley was not ordinary.

“Yuhuang, how can a little argument make you angry? Your emotional fluctuations are quite pronounced. Where did your years of cultivation go?” A chiding voice echoed as a group of women gracefully stepped onto the stage.

There were twenty of them, all strikingly beautiful and elegant. Their leader had her hair styled in a high bun, with not a single strand out of place. But despite her beauty, she carried an air of superiority, her eyes reflecting her arrogance.

“Senior apprentice-sister, Yuhuang recognizes her mistakes,” Liao Yuhuang admitted, seeming to shrivel under her gaze.

This arrogant woman then turned to Netherdragon Wushang and sneered, “The world has changed. Even traitors dare to walk in public now.”

In an instant, the expressions of the Netherdragon experts darkened. Her words struck mercilessly at the wounds of the Netherdragon race.
