Chapter 771: Infighting
If Bai Lan weren’t helping him, Long Chen would’ve been in deep trouble. Thankfully, his safety was guaranteed at least for a little while since Suyan still needed him. As long as Suyan needed him, Bai Lan would never abandon Long Chen and would even go so far as to help him.
There was nothing he could do now but deal with the problems as they popped up. Long Chen accepted this when his secret was leaked.
On the other hand, Situ Yao was troubled that Long Chen’s secret was leaked. He hadn’t run off but instead was waiting just a couple of Li away. When he heard Chen Yang’s final shout, he smashed a tree out of anger.
“Chen Yang, you idiot! I can’t believe he did that! Fuck! Now it won’t be easy for me to take the inheritance anymore. Even if the two clan leaders don’t want it, the seven Thunder Elders of the Thunder clan and the eight Sect Elders of the Demon clan will definitely covet it! My plan has failed horrendously tonight. I never thought that Suxue would be up there and Long Chen would survive the night! Shit! I never thought I would fail so horribly!”
He had no choice but to change back to his regular attire. He could feel that everyone in the Heavenly Wood City was stirring after the huge commotion and Chen Yang’s shout. Everyone’s goal was undoubtedly Long Chen and the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord. The eight Sect Elders and the seven Thunder Elders were the fastest. The seven Thunder Elders of the Thunder clan and the eight Sect Elders were equally strong since they were all at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.
The only one in the Thunder clan who knew about the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord was Lei Ji.
A thousand people were running up towards Long Chen. It was not at all surprising to him that everyone would be panicking down there.
“What should we do? Everyone wants the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord, including the Sect Elders. What should we do now that everyone knows about it?” Suxue wasn’t sure what to do. She thought that he was only good at alchemy, but she never thought he would be so strong as well. Even Suxue herself had to be wary of Long Chen’s final technique. Unbeknownst to her, she was slowly placing Long Chen at the center of her heart.
“We should go down now. There’s no need to worry,” Long Chen responded with a frown. It was the only thing they could do now. He thought that his time in Heavenly Wood City would be smooth and uneventful. He never would've guessed that two separate incidents would take place on the first two days he had come up to cultivate.
