Chapter 5027 The Dagger Behind the Gift

chapter 5027 the dagger behind the gift

the martial stage activated, revealing a hundred barriers. seeing this, everyone knew that something was amiss. until now, even during long tianrui and jiang wuwang’s duel, there had only been a single barrier.

the sudden appearance of a hundred barriers made the martial stage resemble less of a competition ground and more like a prison.

long tianrui’s expression darkened. her icy gaze shifted toward the long clan leader, who avoided her gaze by turning away.

the heaven overseer’s expression also grew grave. it was now glaringly obvious what was unfolding. the long clan had revealed their hand, or perhaps it was the four divine clans’ agenda—they had no intention of letting long chen leave alive.

jiang wuwang was bewildered by the turn of events. meanwhile, after a brief moment of shock, feng fei simply sighed.

“what’s going on?” transmitted jiang wuwang.

feng fei replied, “things are progressing in the worst direction. wuwang, do you still remember what i asked you before?”

jiang wuwang shook as he recalled feng fei asking him if he was loyal to the clan leader or the jiang clan. now, he understood.

“but...”

feng fei shook her head and said, “there are no buts. countless people in this world want to kill long chen, but he is still living well. on the other hand, none of those who attempted his life met a favorable end. i don’t idolize long chen blindly. if you had witnessed his growth firsthand, i’m certain you would reach the same conclusion. was long tianrui intimidating?”

“of course. she’s the most terrifying expert i’ve encountered,” replied jiang wuwang, startled by this sudden question.

in front of long tianrui, he felt like he was facing an unclimbable mountain or an uncrossable sea. his little bit of power was like a grain of sand—the two of them simply weren’t on the same level.

“then let me put it this way. although i won’t claim that long chen is definitely stronger than long tianrui, he is definitely not weaker.”

“is he really so strong?” asked jiang wuwang. he found it hard to believe.

feng fei nodded slightly. her assessment of jiang wuwang’s courage had proven accurate.

suddenly, feng fei severed her mental connection with jiang wuwang and turned her attention to the martial stage. she said, “ye lingxiao is speaking.”

standing at the center of the martial stage, long chen saw zhao qingtian and ye lingxiao appear on either side of him. both looked at him with a sharp light in their eyes, especially ye lingxiao, who looked at long chen as if he was a dead man.

“hold it... what do you mean ‘death at hand’? are you talking about me?” asked long chen. with the golden scepter in hand, long chen pointed at his nose curiously.

“hahaha!”

ye lingxiao and zhao qingtian laughed heartily, as if they had just heard the world’s funniest joke. long chen also smiled faintly, waiting for them to reply.

“you really are an idiot. you’ve killed so many people of the long clan. the long clan leader may not be a petty little person like you, but the four divine clans must be united. do you think you can still act so wantonly now that the ye, zhao, and jiang clans have descended upon the long clan? the alliance of the four clans has unanimously decided to sentence you to death. do you understand now?” announced ye lingxiao loudly.

long chen was baffled. this ain’t right. are they not afraid of me mentioning the heaven earth cauldron?

“they’re prepared. the moment you do so, they’ll cut off sound from the inside. everything is under their control,” explained the earth cauldron.

long chen understood. but then, his smile widened as he said, “i have killed quite a few people of the long clan. i can understand that they want revenge. however, something’s not right. if they want to execute me, don’t they need an executioner? don’t tell me they sent you two pieces of trash to do it?”

long chen pointed at zhao qingtian and ye lingxiao. at this moment, the spectators—disciples and mercenaries alike—were stunned. their expressions shifted in disbelief as they looked at the clan leaders. this unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.

glancing at qin feng, long ziwei said, “qin feng...”

“just watch calmly! boss can handle it,” assured qin feng.

the moment ye lingxiao and zhao qingtian started to advance toward long chen, tension gripped everyone’s heart.
