Chapter 7311 I’ll Accompany You to the End

Long Chen pressed down with his foot, and blood once more sprayed out of Qi Bayuan’s mouth. As he watched, Mu Qingfeng’s expression finally began to sink.

He had never had to act so humble in his entire life, much less now that he was a Heavenly Sovereign. Yet now, a mere Sovereign Lord, refused to give him any face. In fact, he didn’t give the Heavenly Eye race any face either. This compensation he had just offered was an expression of great sincerity, but Long Chen trampled upon it with no hesitation.

Mu Qingfeng took a deep breath.

“Dean Long Chen, the deed has already been done. We can only do our best to make up for it. You’ve also seen our attitude. Can it be that you really wish for the Heavenly Eye race and the High Firmament Academy to go to war? Rivers of blood will flow!”

Although he managed to keep his tone calm, everyone could tell that he was truly angry. In his view, although it was the Heavenly Eye race’s mistake, the High Firmament Academy had merely lost three thousand ordinary disciples. They were basically ant-like existences. If they died, then they died. That was all. By all reason, the High Firmament Academy should simply accept the compensation and release Qi Bayuan. Then both sides could brush this off as a misunderstanding. This was practically an unwritten rule of the cultivation world!

However, Long Chen wasn’t acting according to the normal standard. Even though he was clearly sparing Qi Bayuan, he also refused this compensation, leaving Mu Qingfeng at a loss.

“If the Heavenly Eye race wants a war, the High Firmament Academy will accompany you to the end!” declared Long Chen coldly.

Mu Qingfeng’s anger flashed. If the Heavenly Eye race wanted war? He was clearly the one humiliating their Holy Son. He was trampling over their dignity. There were countless eyes watching at this moment; although the Heavenly Eye race had been the one to cause this, they still needed to maintain some face.

Mu Qingfeng felt a surge of hatred for Chi Yan. With just one move, he had managed to throw the High Firmament Academy and the Heavenly Eye race straight into the frying pan.

“Dean Long Chen, what do you want to release him? Just tell me your conditions!”

Mu Qingfeng suppressed his anger and prepared for an outrageous request. Qi Bayuan’s status was unique; even if Long Chen demanded the skin off of them, he would have no choice but to agree in order to save Qi Bayuan.

“A blood debt must be paid with blood. There is no negotiation here!”

Long Chen suddenly sent Qi Bayuan flying into the first academy. Mu Qingfeng’s expression sank.

Just at this moment, he almost charged in to save him. But the moment the thought formed in his mind, a sharp aura locked onto him.

This aura made his heart shake. He immediately realized that the first academy was hiding a frightening Heavenly Sovereign! As a result, he could only watch as Qi Bayuan was kicked into the first academy like a dead dog. However, although his expression was angry, he also saw some hope. Normally, this kind of hostage situation meant that the hostage’s side simply hadn’t offered enough compensation.

“The culprit has been captured. The three thousand disciples of my academy can finally rest at peace. Seven days from now, I will personally kill Qi Bayuan as a final farewell to their heroic spirits!” Long Chen’s voice rang out coldly.

Chi Yan couldn’t help frowning slightly. Even he couldn’t tell what Long Chen was thinking. He wouldn’t kill Qi Bayuan now, but in seven days? Why the hell would he do that?

Mu Qingfeng’s expression also changed. He also had no idea what drugs Long Chen was on to act in this manner. But in any case, there were now seven days for him to act. There was still a chance. The Heavenly Eye race could reach out to other major forces to apply pressure on the High Firmament Academy. He refused to believe that the High Firmament Academy truly dared to kill Qi Bayuan.

Long Chen didn’t give Mu Qingfeng or Chi Yan a second glance. He walked back into the academy.

Mu Qingfeng and Chi Yan didn’t say anything; they merely glanced at each other with obvious hostility. The Brahma line had stolen some disciples from the Heavenly Eye race, irritating them and making them decide to teach the Brahma line a lesson. However, no one had expected Qi Bayuan to set his sights on Long Chen of all people. As a result, this lesson ended up being returned to them.

“The Heavenly Eye race will remember this!” Mu Qingfeng snorted and led his people away. Even knowing that Chi Yan was one of the eight divine commanders, he wasn’t afraid.

“I don’t care if you remember this or not. But you should try to remember to gather your Holy Son’s corpse in seven days!” retorted Chi Yan.

Mu Qingfeng simply snorted and vanished. As for Chi Yan, he glanced back at the academy, only to see Long Chen’s figure fading behind the barrier. He also led his people away.

As for the countless experts hidden in the surroundings, they immediately spread this shocking news. The moment word of this spread, the entire world was shaken. No one had expected the High Firmament Academy, the Brahma line, and the Heavenly Eye race to be drawn into such a situation.

“Long Chen really is skilled at causing trouble. Last time, he openly accepted a bunch of outsider devils, and people haven’t even accepted that yet. Now he’s gotten into a battle with the Heavenly Eye race! What is he thinking?”

“The hell do you mean? That guy from the Heavenly Eye race started all this. For Long Chen to avenge his disciples is only proper!”

“Three of the strongest forces of the human race are involved. It’s a calamity for the human race! If Long Chen can’t look at the big picture and instead acts selfishly, then someone like him will only lead the human race to self-destruction!”

“Hmph, someone who doesn’t even dare to avenge his disciples isn’t qualified to be the leader of the human race! I feel like Long Chen is acting properly!”

Countless people began to discuss this matter. Some supported Long Chen, but many also criticized him. These were three of the human race’s strongest forces; if war broke out between them, the entire human race would be thrown into chaos. The flames of war would break out early, and the outsider devils would definitely seize this chance to invade. Many people were worried, even the non-human members of the nine heavens. After all, if chaos broke out among humans, the other races would also be affected. They were deeply aware of just how intricately linked they all were.

As a result, many forces of the human race and even other races began to use their connections to speak to the High Firmament Academy. They didn’t want war to break out. Some people even sent word to the Jiuli race, violet blood race, and even the dragon race. They hoped that they could help settle this before things got worse. However, the Jiuli race, the violet blood race, the dragon race, and the High Firmament Academy all announced that they were not accepting any visitors. No one was able to even try and give them advice. Their attitude was very clear: Whatever Long Chen decided would be their decision as well. There was no room for negotiation.

Originally, the Heavenly Eye race thought that they could use their connections to make the Jiuli race, violet blood race, and dragon race force Long Chen to stop. Either through pleading or force, they thought it was possible to change Long Chen’s attitude. They even thought that Long Chen was intentionally delaying the execution in order to force the Heavenly Eye race to lower their heads and apologize more grandly, with even more compensation. But now, they realized that they had been wrong all along. Shadowy clouds covered the entire Heavenly Eye race.

As for Long Chen, he didn’t pay any attention to what was happening in the outside world. He arranged for people to look after Qi Bayuan while he went into seclusion once more.

Seven days should be enough for me to break through to the twelfth Heavenstage!
