chapter 1768 a peerless priceless treasure

“i would choose the dragonblood legion.”

long chen replied without any hesitation.

“then you don’t care that it was the martial heaven alliance that raised you. without the martial heaven alliance, would you still be where you are today? from the start, we knew that you had a wolf’s heart and never viewed the martial heaven alliance as your home!” sneered one of the elders.

this elder was the leader of the nine elders and the one with the greatest authority. he was also very against giving long chen his reward. hence, disturbing the four grand elders was his idea.

of course, he had been supported by the others, or he would not have the authority to disturb the grand elders. now that long chen had immediately chosen to abandon the martial heaven alliance, he immediately jumped into the conversation.

it was precisely because he had the greatest authority of the nine elders that he was the one speaking the most. after being slapped by long chen, he used this chance to take revenge.

“what a joke. when did you ever raise me? shameless bastard, tell me how you raised me?” sneered long chen.

“you!” that elder immediately recalled that long chen was not a direct disciple of the martial heaven alliance. the martial heaven alliance had truly not raised him. however, he still argued, “weren’t you raised by the xuantian dao sect? if it weren’t for the martial heaven alliance’s protection, your xuantian dao sect would have long since been destroyed by the corrupt path or devoured by other sects. without the xuantian dao sect, would you have reached your current level? so this is how you repay gratitude!”

long chen disdainfully said, “do you have the slightest sense of shame? i am a disciple of the xuantian dao sect, but everything i have was obtained through my own merit. the xuantian dao sect raised me for the xuantian dao sect’s profit. there is no master-subordinate relationship between us. instead, it’s a mutually beneficial cooperation. the xuantian dao sect treated me like family, so i can bleed my last drop of blood for the xuantian dao sect, but that doesn’t represent that the xuantian dao sect can control my actions. as for the martial heaven alliance, it is nothing more than a cooperation between the righteous path’s sects. don’t act like the xuantian dao sect’s rise has anything to do with your martial heaven alliance. the rewards we won were obtained through risking our lives. let me put it to you this way: i have no sense of belonging when it comes to the martial heaven alliance.”

qu jianying’s expression changed slightly. these arrogant words were a bit hurtful, but long chen’s following words touched her.

“however, the alliance head treats me as family, so if the alliance head was in trouble, i can risk my life to save her. however, it is only due to my relationship with the alliance head and has nothing to do with the martial heaven alliance. as for you old ghosts, you should burn incense as thanks to your ancestors that i don’t kill you right now. you actually want me to sacrifice my people to save you? tell me, are you idiots?”

“you... you’re completely disgraceful and unfilial!” shouted the head elder furiously.

“put your claws away, or i’ll kill you regardless of the four grand elders being present.”

long chen’s expression suddenly darkened, and killing intent appeared in his eyes. that icy and sinister killing intent locked onto the head elder.

that elder’s expression completely changed. in that instant, he felt like a sharp blade was pressed against his neck. even with the four grand elders present, he didn’t feel the slightest bit safe. it was like no one could save him from being killed by long chen.

after all, the martial heaven alliance was the largest alliance in this world. it had an incredibly profound foundation. just what could threaten its life?

qu jianying was also delighted. her granduncle-master was clearly conceding.

however, long chen shook his head. “then nevermind. i don’t want this treasure.”

“long chen, you crazy madman, do you know what that treasure is?!” raged qu jianying.

“long chen, you are a warrior of the righteous path. if the martial heaven alliance was in a life and death crisis, it signifies that the entire righteous path is in danger. would you really just watch as a spectator?” demanded another grand elder.

“that’s not the same. if i were to fight at that time, it would be because i wanted to, not because i was forced to due to taking someone else’s things. there is an essential difference between them. i, long chen, do not want to be bound by anything, and i never make promises lightly,” said long chen indifferently.

for a moment, everyone was deathly silent. the four grand elders stared at long chen. in the end, qu jianying’s granduncle-master said, “if that’s the case, we cannot give the treasure to you. this is a peerless, priceless treasure that does not just belong to the martial heaven alliance, but the entire righteous path. if you were to obtain but not fight for the righteous path, it would be awkward.”

“that’s fine. i’m used to having to snatch my opportunities myself. i never had any hope for this anyway. the main reason i came here was because i wanted to see just how strong the central xuan region’s experts were,” said long chen.

“as for this wine, you should....”

“senior, are you looking down on me? do you think i would take back the gifts that i’ve given? this is my filial respect for the alliance head and is also based on my relationship with her. as for whether you take it or not, it has nothing to do with me.”

“granduncle-master, you should accept it. are you planning on going back into seclusion?” asked qu jianying.

“we’ll discuss this later. long chen, the headquarters of the martial heaven alliance is an ancient city with many wonders that you won’t see anywhere else. you should take a look around. perhaps you can gain some insights,” said qu jianying’s granduncle-master.

long chen naturally understood what he was saying. “then i’ll go out for a stroll. perhaps i’ll gain something that i never expected.”

long chen retreated back down the path he had come from, vanishing from their sight.

once he was gone, qu jianying’s granduncle-master’s eyes instantly transformed, becoming bright and clear. divine light shone from them. he no longer appeared on the verge of dying as his hair went from white to black in an instant. he became an icy-faced middle-aged man.

the nine elders immediately felt like they had been stripped naked and tossed into the snow. the grand elder’s gaze was cold.

“first elder, third elder, seventh elder, and ninth elder, you can kill yourselves!” said qu jianying’s granduncle-master.
