SWNOVELS Chapter 138 - A Battle Between Two Big Shots
Loong Chen offered a respectful bow to the Invincible Dragon God.
“Palace Master, I want to express my gratitude for your assistance.”
Invincible Dragon God gestured dismissively and replied.
“You are most welcome. As a member of Dragon God Temple, it is my duty to assist you.”
After expressing his sentiments, Invincible Dragon God turned his gaze towards Chen Daofu, and an icy aura emanated from him.
“Furthermore, there are individuals audacious enough to come to Dragon God Temple to abduct people. This displays a blatant disregard for Dragon God Temple's authority.”
As Invincible Dragon God uttered these words, everyone present at Green Cloud Temple couldn't help but inhale sharply in response.
This was especially true for Chen Jingtian and Chen Hongtian, as their heartbeats seemed to synchronize at that very moment.
It was Invincible Dragon God, the most renowned human expert. He didn't even need to exert pressure intentionally; merely standing there was enough to instill fear.
“Master Dragon God, we accept full responsibility for this lapse.”
Grand Elder Chen Daofu bowed respectfully to Invincible Dragon God and expressed his apologies before continuing.
“However, I have acquired certain information. Although Chen Tianming may not be a direct heir of the Chen family, he still carries the Chen family bloodline. Loong Chen has killed Chen Tianming, so the Chen family cannot simply overlook this matter.”
“Master Dragon God, you are known for your fairness and understanding. We hope you can empathize with our position, correct?”
Chen Daofu addressed Invincible Dragon God respectfully, establishing a moral high ground in the conversation.
Invincible Dragon God shifted his gaze to Loong Chen, and Loong Chen understood the message. He hastily spoke up.
“I did indeed end Chen Tianming's life, but it was in self-defense. He had intentions of harming me.”
Chen Hongtian interjected, “My son, Tianming, possessed only average talent. He couldn't possibly pose a threat to you.”
“Now that he's no longer here, you can fabricate any story you want!”
Chen Hongtian retorted, but Loong Chen responded with a cold snort.
“You can verify the truth of my words. If I recall correctly, there should be another elderly man in plain clothing captured on the surveillance camera. His name appears to be Elder Hei.”
“Chen Tianming instructed him to take care of me. Unfortunately, Elder Hei couldn't defeat me; instead, I ended up killing him.”
Upon hearing Loong Chen's words, Chen Daofu glanced at Chen Hongtian.
Chen Hongtian immediately grew anxious, as there was indeed an elderly man dressed in simple clothing on the surveillance footage.
However, when he witnessed Loong Chen slay Chen Tianming, his anger had clouded his judgment, causing him to unconsciously overlook it.
Observing Chen Hongtian's expression, Chen Daofu was not foolish and naturally comprehended the situation.
Instantly, his countenance darkened. If that were the case, they would no longer have the moral high ground.
“Incompetent!”
Chen Daofu coldly snorted, causing Chen Hongtian's face to pale in fear.
“Since the truth has come to light, Chen Daofu, shouldn't you provide us with an explanation?”
At this moment, the Invincible Dragon God spoke.
Chen Daofu hastily responded.
“Lord Dragon God, this is all a misunderstanding. After all, I am not entirely certain about this matter. Nevertheless, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, perhaps we can let bygones be bygones. What do you think?”
“You came to Dragon God Temple to apprehend him, and you even harmed him. Do you intend to depart?”
The Invincible Dragon God coldly harrumphed, causing even Chen Daofu, a Peak King Level warrior, to tremble.
When confronted by the most formidable human warrior, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Just as Chen Daofu was at a loss for what to do, an ethereal voice resonated in the void.
“Invincible Dragon God has actually graced us with his presence. I haven't had the chance to welcome you properly. My apologies.”
Following the voice, a white-haired, white-bearded elder clad in cultivation attire materialized.
He exuded an otherworldly aura.
Although Loong Chen wasn't acquainted with him, he surmised that this was the master of Green Cloud Temple.
He ranked among the top ten human experts, known as Daoist priest Qingyun.
Daoist priest Qingyun's presence was the key reason for the Green Cloud Temple's rise to become one of the most influential superpowers in the eastern continent.
Even before the apocalypse, Daoist priest Qingyun was already widely renowned as a Taoist priest from a prestigious Taoist temple.
With the onset of the apocalypse, he stumbled upon an ancient ruin beneath the Taoist temple where he resided.
Harnessing the power he gained from the ancient ruin, he emerged as one of the leading experts of his generation and founded the Green Cloud Temple.
The Green Cloud Temple held equal standing with super organizations like the Dragon God Temple, Starlight Sect, Blade Martial House, and Lightning Sect.
Upon seeing their master, Chen Daofu, Chen Jingtian, Chen Hongtian, and the others from the Green Cloud Temple breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Especially Chen Daofu, who felt tremendous pressure while conversing with the Invincible Dragon God.
Now that the pavilion master had arrived, the responsibility of negotiating with the Invincible Dragon God naturally fell to him. contemporary romance
“Chen Qingyun, you haven't changed a bit. You still have a penchant for procrastination in your actions.”
The Invincible Dragon God appeared remarkably composed.
Upon hearing the Invincible Dragon God's words, everyone couldn't help but be taken aback.
Perhaps the only one who dared to address Daoist Priest Qingyun in such a manner was the Invincible Dragon God.
“Since you're here, tell us your intentions regarding this matter.”
“Dragon God, please calm down. I am aware of the entire situation. Regardless, both sides bear some blame. Chen Hongtian should not have gone to the Dragon God Temple to apprehend people. However, that individual has killed many members of the Green Cloud Temple. Can't we put an end to this matter here?”
Chen Qingyun said with a smile, but the Invincible Dragon God shook his head.
“The casualties from your sect were merely ordinary disciples. You haven't compensated enough.”
Chen Qingyun's smile waned considerably upon hearing this, but he still held a deep fear of the Invincible Dragon God and turned his gaze to Chen Hongtian.
“Kill yourself.”
“Master, I…”
Chen Hongtian's demeanor shifted upon seeing this. Initially, he believed that Daoist Priest Qingyun would survive if he arrived.
However, Daoist Priest Qingyun was now asserting that he had to perish?
When Chen Qingyun noticed Chen Hongtian's reluctance to accept his fate, he knitted his brows and turned his gaze toward Chen Daofu.
“Yes.”
Chen Daofu grasped the intention behind Chen Qingyun's gaze. He produced a talisman and hurled it in Chen Hongtian's direction.
The talisman transformed into a beam of light, penetrating Chen Hongtian's forehead and ending his life instantly.
“Is the Dragon God content now?”
Chen Qingyun's tone carried a touch of hostility. After all, Chen Hongtian belonged to the Chen family.
His act of slaying Chen Hongtian might lead some within the Chen family to feel disheartened.
Likewise, it could make them believe that Daoist Priest Qingyun harbored apprehension towards the Invincible Dragon God.
In truth, he did fear the Invincible Dragon God because he had clashed with the Invincible Dragon God before and was ultimately defeated by a single strike from the Dragon God.
Indeed, Invincible Dragon God had vanquished him with just one blow. Not just him, nearly all the top ten human experts had challenged the Invincible Dragon God, and without exception, they were all overpowered by a single strike from the Invincible Dragon God.
There was only one exception: Star Glory Emperor of the Starlight Sect, second only to the Invincible Dragon God.
He had managed to withstand a single attack from the Invincible Dragon God, but that was the extent of his capability.
To outsiders, it might seem that he was on par with the Invincible Dragon God.
However, he alone knew that he lacked the qualifications to contend with the Invincible Dragon God.
