"When has the Moonwatching Clan ever broken its promise to others? My mind is made up; no one else is allowed to make noise. The chief of the Moonwatching Clan shouted coldly.
Seeing the Moon Gazing Clan chief make such a public announcement, countless people's eyes were filled with shock and helplessness, and in the end, they could only keep silent.
"Changchuan will accompany our honored guest down to rest. We will discuss the specific matters and procedures." The chief of the Moonwatching Clan said.
"Yes,"
Xu Changchuan quickly got up and left with Long Chen and the others.
After leaving the square, Xu Changchuan gratefully said to Long Chen, "Thank you, Brother Long, for risking your life to save us earlier." Previously
, when Long Chen saw the Moon Gazing Clan chief trying to kill Xu Changchuan, he acted directly, which deeply moved Xu Changchuan.
He also knew that his relationship with Long Chen was only average. Long Chen helped him because of his promise, and their relationship leaned more toward cooperation.
But under such circumstances, Long Chen dared to attack the Moon Gazing Clan chief, which meant he was already putting life and death aside.
"That's just your clan leader's test." Long Chen smiled faintly.
Xu Changchuan shook his head and said, "The clan leader is incredibly powerful and wise. When he tried to kill me, he didn't give you any time to think."
Although it was a test, he didn't give you any time to think. Your decision was entirely from the heart. Brother Long, I, Xu Changchuan, have made you a true friend. "
Xu Changchuan wore a solemn expression. It seemed that over all these years, only Long Chen had willingly risked such a great risk to save him.
Long Chen nodded. Xu Changchuan usually carried pride and childishness, like a spoiled child, but he still had some backbone. Deep down, he was still a passionate man.
After Long Chen and the others had walked away, an elder Celestial Venerable from the Moonwatching Clan couldn't help but step forward and say,
"Clan Chief, you must consider this matter carefully. The human race is cunning and cunning; we must be on guard."
"Yes, in terms of strength, we're not afraid of them, but when it comes to schemes and tricks, we're no match for them."
"If the Great Brahma really uses the ruse of self-sacrifice, we'll be completely deceived. Who knows if what Long Chen killed was actually the avatars of Empuda and Liao Bencang."
For a moment, other Heavenly Venerable experts also chimed in. The Moonwatching Clan has never cooperated with humans; they fear humans in martial strength, but they fear human schemes.
Not only the Moonwatching Clan, but almost no other clans are willing to cooperate with the human race. They both hate and fear humans, because humans can wipe out an entire race without bloodshed. In other words, the human slaughtering knife kills without bloodshed. They would rather believe in the devil than trust the human race.
"Seventh Uncle, do you remember how I became the clan leader back then?" The Moon Gazing Clan chief said to an elderly man.
The elderly man was stunned, instantly lost in memories. Nan Nan said, "I remember you back then—extremely talented in martial arts, but stubborn and unwilling to listen. Many of your ideas went against the rules of the Moon Watching Clan back then."
I remember the clan leader at the time really disliked you, believing that if you became clan leader, it could very well lead the Wangyue clan into decline.
Later, the ancestral spirit totem automatically manifested and blessed you, and you ultimately earned the position of clan leader. "
Regarding this matter, it was a secret of the Wangyue clan. The older generation of strong figures who knew about it all kept tightly sealed, not mentioning a word, and the younger generation was unaware.
Now, hearing the old man speak out, the hearts of the powerful figures present all raced. It turned out that the clan leader was not chosen through a trial, but by the ancestral spirit totem.
"However, ever since the clan leader took charge of the Moonwatching Clan, the Moonwatch Clan has indeed declined considerably, and its overall strength is far inferior to the previous generation's leader." The elder known as Uncle Qi said with a bitter smile.
The powerful figures present were shocked. Was this a slap in the face to the clan leader's face? Some things are best understood by everyone, so why say them out loud?
The Moon Viewing Clan chief smiled slightly and said, "Seventh Uncle, are you questioning my leadership abilities?"
Why is our strength declining? After I took charge of the Moonwatching Clan, I went through three dark wars. Excluding this time, we saw through seven infiltrations in the Great Brahma Heaven, fighting dozens of wars both openly and covertly.
My stance is firm, sparing no face for the Great Brahma Heaven, which led the Sacred Pill Hall to completely block our pill supply, making it difficult for us to move forward and naturally weakening our strength. Seventh
Uncle said coldly, "If you could continue the gentle strategy of the previous clan leader, we wouldn't have fought the Great Brahma to the death, and the previous clan leader wouldn't have died on the battlefield." Seventh
Uncle's tone was extremely blunt. The faces of the powerful figures present changed. The previous generation had never appeared and was already dead. This was a heavy blow to them.
"Nonsense, utter nonsense."
The Moonwatching Clan chief finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily, "What do you know? What kind of soft policy? That was barely surviving, groveling and scraping. Since when did our Moonwatching Clan ever need to rely on others?
Do you think that in the first dark war, the seventy-six elders of the Celestial Venerable died in the dark war? They died under the ancestral spirit totem. "
What?"
The powerful figures present were struck like thunder, completely stunned.
"Those seventy-six Heavenly Venerable elders were all bribed by the Great Brahma Heaven. During the Dark War, they attempted rebellion but were suppressed and killed by the Ancestral Spirit Divine Map.
Because they were on the dark battlefield, even the Great Brahma Heaven's sacred image could not protect them. Because of this, the previous clan leader felt guilty and could not control himself.
In a battle to protect the clan, he fought fiercely against two Great Brahma Heavenly Divine Banners, was severely wounded and died on the battlefield, but was nearly crippled by one of them.
You only see that I didn't save him, but don't realize that if I can save him once, how can I save him for a lifetime? I can only respect his choice. I've carried so many years of infamy—do you think I'm feeling good inside? The
Wangyue Clan chief was furious, and later he started cursing loudly, clearly holding back his emotions for a long time.
The Moon Gazing Clan chief said coldly, "I admire the character and integrity of the previous generation, but to be blunt, his development strategy is completely wrong."
After I took command of the entire clan, I took a tough stance both internally and externally. I fought to the death with anyone who disobeyed. Although our strength is weak now, my message to the Great Brahma Heaven is: the Moonwatching Clan would rather shatter jade than be whole tile.
Yet, even so, the Great Brahma Heaven's infiltration still penetrates everywhere; some people are brainwashed and corrupted.
If I were like the previous clan leader, the Moonwatching Clan would no longer exist now, and you would have long since become servants under the Great Brahma Heaven.
The Wangyue clan, having lost their spirit and backbone, is it still the Wangyue clan? Will you live humbly, or die proudly? Which do you choose? "
Thud"
The elder known as Seventh Uncle suddenly knelt down: "I misunderstood the clan leader and showed disrespect to you. My crime is unforgivable. Today, I will atone with my death." Suddenly
, the old man stabbed his finger straight at his own forehead, causing the entire crowd to exclaim in shock.
