Chapter 6888 The Curtain Falls

Ye Zifan and the Zither Sect’s disciples stood at a distance, trembling. Only now did they truly understand how frightening Long Chen was.

Long Chen had just fought a fierce battle, but he wasn’t even out of breath. He didn’t have a single injury and didn’t look tired at all.

Was he even human? He seemed more like a monster. Who would dare to challenge someone like him?

Ye Zifan’s face turned red. He didn’t have the courage to fight, but he still wanted to keep the Zither Sect’s dignity, as well as his own. He opened his mouth several times like a fish, but no words came out.

His throat felt as dry as a desert, and he couldn’t make a sound. Sweat rolled down his forehead.

People saw Ye Zifan’s state and shook their heads to themselves. He was supposed to be someone important in the Zither Sect, but in front of Long Chen, he was nothing.

Just how arrogant had Ye Zifan been? Now, he didn’t have the courage to say a word.

People glanced from Ye Zifan to Long Chen. This was the difference between them. Both were Sovereign Lords, but their strength was worlds apart.

Even though no one liked how arrogant the Zither Sect had been, nobody made fun of Ye Zifan. After all, Ye Zifan was truly strong. He was just unlucky to face someone like Long Chen.

People often felt sympathy for the weak.

Long Chen shook his head casually and said, “That’s fine. You don’t have the guts to fight me. Killing you would just make people laugh at me. I’ll spare your life. Tell Cao Yiyang to release my friend, or I will raze the Zither Sect to the ground after this.”

When Long Chen first said this, Ye Zifan was furious. But now, he felt relieved—at least, he was still alive.

"Are you able to deliver a message? If not, just say the word, and I will find someone else," Long Chen said impatiently when Ye Zifan did not reply.

“I will pass on your message! Goodbye!”

Ye Zifan finally spoke and immediately left with the Zither Sect’s disciples. He clearly wanted to flee for his life, but also didn’t want to embarrass himself. That conflicted appearance of his was rather comical.

The Zither Sect’s disciples left, and the battle was over. The crowd slowly broke up, ready to report this shocking fight to their own sects.

After that, Xin Yu ran over and grabbed Long Chen’s hand excitedly.

She said, “Wow, big brother Long Chen, you’re so incredible! I never knew you were so strong! Do you remember my previous proposal? As long as you accept me as your master, I will give you the Spirit Heart Sect!”

“Go stand over there!” Long Chen shook off her hand. This child’s head really was abnormal.

Xin Yu believed that with such a powerful apprentice, no one in the world would dare to cross her. Perhaps her spirit heart technique kept her pure, but her extreme naivety made her seem a bit simple-minded.

“Long Chen... congratulations on your win,” Chi Yutong said, acting much more reserved now.

Even the way she spoke to Long Chen had changed. After all, she wasn’t as carefree as Xin Yu. Long Chen’s strength put them on different levels, creating a distance between them.

Then again, could a phoenix really fly with a sparrow?

Long Chen’s strength was something to be happy about, but she also felt disappointed. She knew the gap between them would only get bigger over time.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Long Chen understood what she was thinking. He then grabbed her hand and returned her sword.

Before this battle, many of Chi Yutong’s followers would have been outraged by this, seeing it as disrespectful to their divine daughter.

But now, people saw this as honoring Chi Yutong. Many were extremely envious.

Liu Piaopiao and the other young disciples watched from a distance, filled with regret. At the gathering of champions, they had a chance to get close to Long Chen. But they were too afraid of getting involved and chose to just watch.

Because of that choice, they missed their chance to connect with a true expert. Still, they knew better than to try to approach him now. It would only embarrass themselves.

Chi Yutong blushed a little. Through his actions, Long Chen was telling her she would always be his friend.

When Chi Yutong took back her sword, she sensed something new inside it and was amazed.

“Don’t let others know,” transmitted Long Chen.

Chi Yutong nodded. She could feel the earth-attribute expert’s pure energy and unique will.

That expert had indeed claimed she had no more ties to this world, but she still left a part of her legacy in that five-point star. This was a huge opportunity for Chi Yutong. The legacy of a half-step Heavenly Sovereign was truly priceless.

“Brother Long, you surprise me every time we meet! I’ve learned so much from this battle. Hehe, you finally showed these frogs at the bottom of a well what a real expert looks like!” Li Chenggang exclaimed, approaching with the disciples from the Calligraphy Sect and Zheng Wenlong.

Clearly, both of them were skilled in handling social situations.

They had allowed Xin Yu and Chi Yutong to speak to Long Chen first. That was because Long Chen had come with both of them and due to the sects backing them. They were not weak, but they weren't strong enough either. They needed support from one of the top factions.

Moreover, by showing their connection to Long Chen, they would discourage any factions from targeting them. That was exactly what they needed.

The Calligraphy Sect’s disciples were all excited. At last, they grasped the meaning of there always being someone stronger, of there always being a heaven beyond the heavens.

Long Chen’s battle reminded them of when Li Chenggang first arrived at the Calligraphy Sect and outclassed everyone in the same realm. However, Long Chen’s fight was even more incredible and shocking.

“Brother Chenggang, don’t laugh at me. Yan Sheng was just a clown. The outsider devil was the real threat. I only used that senior’s power to fight it and helped her settle her grudge,” Long Chen said, shaking his head.

“Haha, no need to be so humble among friends. Try again!” Li Chenggang laughed.

“Alright. Yan Sheng? That outsider devil? They were all trash in front of me!”

Long Chen waved his hand dramatically, as if he could crush them all at once.

“Hahaha, that’s how it should be!” Li Chenggang and Zheng Wenlong laughed.

The others also laughed, surprised to see this funny side of Long Chen and Li Chenggang.

Just then, a group of people walked over. Their leader was a refined elder, and he bowed to them slightly.

“I’m sorry, but can I disturb you?” he asked.

“The divine capital!” Startled cries rang out.
