Chapter 7298 Divine Commander Chi Yan

Crack!

A refined teacup made of divine wood was crushed by Bai Ze’s merciless fist.

Bai Ze was normally cool and collected, to the point that it looked as if nothing could even make him raise an eyebrow. But today, a vein throbbed on his forehead.

The gray-robed man’s heart quivered. He was a fellow divine commander, and he had known Bai Ze for a very, very long time, yet he had never seen Bai Ze act this way.

After a long moment, Bai Ze slowly managed to recollect himself and once more returned to his usual composed appearance. He said, “Chi Yan, you did very well. If I had been there instead, I don’t think I could have held back from killing him!”

This gray-robed man was Chi Yan, someone who could be considered as quite powerful among the eight divine commanders, but who was also very steady and low-key. He was different from Long Can, Le Xing, and the Silver Hair Void Crusher. Of the eight divine commanders, there were four people whose positions had never been brought into question. Bai Ze and Chi Yan were two of them, and the former was even considered the informal leader of these four central pillars.

“That... was not a matter of holding back from killing. Long Chen is too arrogant, and to be honest, I really did want to kill him, but he has the power to back up his arrogance. With my current control over Grand Dao power, I was not one hundred percent guaranteed to kill him, so I had to endure,” said Chi Yan with a bitter smile.

As one of the divine commanders, he had followed Lord Brahma into combat and experienced many battles. His intuition had been honed in life-or-death situations, and that intuition told him that he wouldn’t be able to kill Long Chen in one strike. He had only just advanced to the Heavenly Sovereign realm and his throne wasn’t stable yet. Thus, his control over Grand Dao power was still lacking.

Furthermore, if he were to attack, Long Chen would undoubtedly mobilize all his forces in a bloody retaliation, and that truly meant all forces. The sweeping elder had personally said that if anyone from the senior generation dared to strike at Long Chen, he would personally take them to task. If that living fossil really did end up being provoked, it would be a major problem for the Brahma line.

Therefore, even though Chi Yan’s status was practically as high as it could get in this world, he did not dare take action himself. The moment he understood how big this matter was, he immediately chose to report it.

“Long Chen has gone too far. If we just take it lying down, it’ll be a blow to our morale...” said Chi Yan slowly.

Long Chen had destroyed the Holy Brahma Land, and the disturbance was too great to hide. He had felt countless people spying on them at the time. He trusted that it wouldn’t be long before news of this spread. It was impossible to lock down the information.

Bai Ze shook his head. “The Divine Venerate is at an important point of his recovery. We cannot disturb him for such a minor affair.”

“Then what do we do?” asked Chi Yan.

“Long Chen is very dangerous. He must have a deeper reason for doing this. I suspect that he has guessed something and he is intentionally trying to provoke a conflict in order to embroil our Brahma line in a war. That way, he might be able to see some clues about what we’re doing.”

“But then the High Firmament Academy, the violet blood race, the Jiuli race, and the dragon race will also be sucked in. Is he not afraid of both sides suffering, and a third party suddenly taking advantage? After all, he has many other enemies apart from us,” said Chi Yan.

“Long Chen never acts according to common sense. The fact that he brazenly recruited outsider devils is evidence of this. I really don’t understand what he was thinking when he did such a thing. No, forget about me, even the Divine Venerate could not tell. At least on the surface, it only brings problems to him, yet he did it nonetheless. Anyway, that is not important right now. We cannot figure out his intentions, but he is trying to probe our plans, so for now, we can only swallow the poison. And speaking of that, I presume you have already investigated those behind this,” said Bai Ze.

Chi Yan immediately frowned. “There are some clues, but if they’re leading where I think they are, this might be a bit thorny!”

“Thorny?” Bai Ze was a bit surprised. Considering the Brahma line’s power, who could possibly qualify to be a thorn in their side?

“Based on the clues, I believe the ones behind this are from the Heavenly Eye race!” revealed Chi Yan.

“Are they mad?! The Heavenly Eye race has no grudge with our Brahma line! We even have several collaborations! They dare to scheme against us?” Bai Ze found it hard to believe.

“Based on what I’ve found out, it seems that we have expanded too quickly, and our subordinates may or may not have gone a little too far in order to fulfill their quotas...”

When Chi Yan said this, Bai Ze immediately understood what was going on.

When the great era came, the Brahma line expanded rapidly. That was the mission that Lord Brahma had personally given them. The number of followers directly impacted the amount of faith energy, which directly impacted Lord Brahma’s recovery rate, as well as the growth of their top experts.

Thus, when Lord Brahma made this the priority, orders were immediately passed down from the higher-ups to those below them, and those subordinates felt immense pressure. To fulfill this mission, many people began to use unscrupulous methods. They even resorted to swindling, coercion, and bribery.

One problem that occurred was that some of them actually began to recruit members from other major forces. The Brahma line was enormous, and so many of these forces didn’t dare to make a ruckus. They could only stew in their anger and do their best to defend against the Brahma line’s... missionaries.

But Lord Brahma’s followers were quite determined; there was no wall that could keep them out, and no length they wouldn’t go to. They continued to recruit people wildly. In the end, they also reached a branch of the Heavenly Eye race. The person in charge with that specific mission was both a genius and quite gutsy. It was unknown what methods this person used, but half of that branch’s heavenly geniuses were pulled over to the Brahma line. After the customary brainwashing, they became loyal followers of Lord Brahma.

The other problem with their rapid expansion was that spies could easily sneak in. After all, even faith energy was not fool-proof; some people had special talents or unique divine items capable of tricking the scanning of faith energy.

Chi Yan had already personally investigated. The transportation talisman that Lu Chengzhou possessed had been issued by his holy land—specifically, by one of the higher-ups there. That person, conveniently enough, was already dead, but all the evidence pointed to the Heavenly Eye race. They were probably angry with the Brahma line’s recruitment of their members and wanted to teach them a lesson.

The Heavenly Eye race possessed the ability to disturb the lines of fate, and if they did not want people to find out what they had done, then their secrets would remain secret. In other words, they had likely left some evidence precisely so that the Brahma line could tell who had done this. It was also a message: If you do not stop, then neither will we.

After learning the whole story, Bai Ze sneered contemptuously. “Good, in that case, let’s really go big!”

“What do you mean?”

Bai Ze handed Chi Yan an item that made the latter’s eyebrows rise. “The Brahma Writ? You want to activate the Heaven-Peering Law Mirror? Is it worth it?”

“Without activating the Heaven-Peering Law Mirror, it is impossible to trace this karma. How are we supposed to find the evidence? As for the cost of activating the Heaven-Peering Law Mirror, it’s not worth mentioning if we can drag the Heavenly Eye race down!” Bai Ze smiled faintly. “Long Chen, I’m tossing back your hot potato. Let’s see if you dare to catch it!”
