chapter 649 ugly face

the news that the chaos region had been destroyed within a single day rapidly spread. as soon as shui wuhen returned to the supermonastery, she alerted the dao sect that the corrupt path had publicly broken the agreement, and their experts were currently bathing the chaos region in the blood of the righteous path.

the xuantian dao sect was completely infuriated. they immediately transmitted this news to the various large righteous sects. they also immediately dispatched experts to join shui wuhen in killing their way into the chaos region.

but the chaos region was located in an extremely isolated and far off region of the eastern wasteland. it took several transportation formations as well as a great deal of travel to get there.

as a result, it was already the next day by the time they arrived. the righteous path had been filled with killing intent and just been about to settle the bill with the corrupt path when they saw everything within a range of ten thousand miles had been turned into an abyss.

they were all shocked. how was this the chaos region? even xiantian experts wouldn’t dare to enter this place due to the lingering destructive aura.

if a meridian opening expert tried to go in, they would immediately be annihilated by that destructive aura. this had become a hell on earth.

let alone them, even shui wuhen was dumbfounded. she had been hoping that by leading all these people, she could save long chen. although that hope had been remote, she was extremely confident in long chen. perhaps long chen really could have created a miracle and lasted until she arrived.

but when she had left, this place had been a battlefield. now that she returned, it had turned into this. if there weren’t still some markings in the surroundings, she would suspect that this wasn’t even the chaos region.

where were the five sea expansion experts, where were the celestials, where was the army of tens of thousands of corrupt disciples? how could they all disappear? and looking around, she saw no signs of an army leaving. what had happened here?

although she had no idea what had happened, there was one thing she was sure of. this definitely was because of long chen.

later, the other experts guessed that heavenly punishment had occurred here.

this heavenly punishment wasn’t referring to heavenly tribulation. heavenly punishment was the wrath of the heavenly daos. it was divine punishment, one that would exterminate everything.

they came to that conclusion due to the endless destructive aura remaining on the ground. heavenly tribulation was used to temper a person’s body. although it also contained some destructive aura, ninety percent of it was life energy.

but this destructive lightning aura didn’t contain the slightest bit of life. it was entirely destructive. this could only be called heavenly punishment, the punishment of the heavenly daos.

“could it be that the corrupt path slaughtered too many people, and so the heavens decided to make them pay a price?”

although this theory was a bit absurd, it was the only explanation that they could think of.

on the same day that the righteous experts arrived, the corrupt path’s experts also appeared. the corrupt path had suddenly stopped receiving any updates about their operation this time, and feeling that something was off, they had sent some experts to investigate.

as soon as they appeared, the righteous path surrounded them. the corrupt path had only sent some people to investigate, and they were much weaker than the army the righteous path had brought. they were instantly caught.

an expert soul cultivator directly soulsearched them. and after that soulsearch, he laughed heartily.

“five grand sea expansion experts, nine celestials, and eighty thousand xiantian elites! hahaha, good! the corrupt path was really screwed this time.”

“long chen sacrificed himself, but five sea expansion experts, nine celestials, and eighty thousand xiantian disciples were also killed with him. i feel like you should immediately establish a statue to commemorate his heroic sacrifice.”

...

after a few consolatory words, they said their goodbyes. there was nothing else for them to do, as there had originally been less and less ore coming out of these mines recently. they had only come in order to demand an explanation from the corrupt path.

but considering how heavy the losses of the corrupt path were, their own losses were nothing. the corrupt path was definitely filled with fury now, and it was not suitable to get into contact with them.

so leaving was the best option. the corrupt path was filled with madmen. considering how angry they were, there was no telling what kind of crazy things they would do.

they had to return and make their preparations against any possible sneak attacks from them. if they were caught unprepared, it would be troublesome.

long chen’s death had nothing to do with them. actually, the death of a peerless genius wouldn’t bring them any grief. in fact, now they had one less competitor to worry about.

“they want us to build a statue in commemoration for long chen? their heads must have rotted,” muttered the zhou family elder.

“shut up! i think your head is the one that has rotted! don’t think i don’t know what vile acts your zhou family have committed. but this time, you’ve really gone too far! don’t let me find any proof, or don’t blame me for the consequences!” roared the vice sect master. with a gloomy expression, he led he xuantian dao sect’s people away.

...

seven days later, long chen appeared in a huayun auction house within the secular world. in a private room, he was facing zheng wenlong.

“brother long, thank goodness you’re still alive.”

zheng wenlong gave long chen a tight embrace and then hit him. “when i heard you were dead, i even thought about killing myself to end it. i would never be able to repay my debt.”

long chen laughed, knowing he was just joking. zheng wenlong was truly a good brother. long chen sensed his sincere emotions.

long chen had stealthily arranged to meet zheng wenlong here through the auction house. he gave zheng wenlong a letter for shui wuhen so that she and the others wouldn’t worry. however, for now, it was best if long chen remained ‘dead’.

at the same time, he had zheng wenlong send some things to tang wan-er and the others. furthermore, he had to continue borrowing more money from him.

the thing that depressed him was that his lightning tribulation had been too terrifying, and he hadn’t been able to gather any spatial rings from it. following the deaths of their masters, spatial rings would lose the protection of their master’s soul. that made them much weaker, and under the terrifying impact of his heavenly tribulation, they had been completely destroyed.

the only thing long chen could do was give zheng wenlong a ring with a large batch of medicinal sprouts. as for how zheng wenlong sold them, it would be up to him. in any case, it wasn’t enough to repay his debt.

after setting that up, long chen told zheng wenlong repeatedly not to leak the news that he was alive. he was about to undergo a quiet and peaceful life. if he needed to find zheng wenlong, he would contact him secretly.

the two of them set up a secret phrase. when long chen went to huayun auction houses in the future, he would tell them to tell zheng wenlong this phrase, and he would immediately come to see long chen.

after sending off zheng wenlong, long chen once more put on his disguise. he then brazenly swaggered right out of the huayun auction house.
