Chapter 5062 Mediator
Being pulled by the vortex, Long Chen acted weak and called out for Bai Yingxuan’s aid.
At the same time, white dragon scales appeared on Long Chen’s skin. He twisted and squirmed, deliberately revealing his ident.i.ty as a member of the white dragon race, ensuring everyone noticed. That was perfect for covering up his slap just now. With this, people would a.s.sume that it was just a lucky fluke and not doubt his status.
BOOM!
A white dragon claw covered in sacred light tore through the vortex and grabbed Long Chen, wrenching him out of it.
Once back at the white dragon race’s camp, Long Chen patted his chest, looking like he was scared to death. His hand trembled, as if he were still recovering from the scare. It was clear that Long Chen’s acting skills didn’t lose out to his combat power.
The vice race leader staggered back five steps as his vortex shattered. He glared furiously at Bai Yingxuan.
“Is the white dragon race really declaring war on the Golden Crow race?! Fine, you can repay your blood debt with blood!” shouted the vice race leader.
Millions of Golden Crow experts unleashed their powerful auras and killing intent at the same time.
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Bai Yingxuan sneered and waved her hand. The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest behind her rumbled to life, entering a combat-ready state. Bai Yingxuan herself was enveloped in three heaven vein dragon qi. Unlike other heaven vein dragon qi, which flew independently, hers were bound together like a single chain.
It was Long Chen’s first time seeing Bai Yingxuan unleash her aura, and it shook him deeply. Although the vice race leader had an additional heaven vein, he was completely suppressed by Bai Yingxuan’s aura.
It seemed that having more heaven vein dragon qis didn’t necessarily mean being stronger; it depended on how they were used. Long Chen was instantly at ease. They might have numbers, but even if all their top experts joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for Bai Yingxuan.
To put it frankly, if she chose to, she could destroy all the Golden Crow experts single-handedly.
Countless experts in the distance cried out in shock, stunned by her aura. Though she was a three-vein Heaven Saint, her aura far surpa.s.sed her peers’. There was no comparing them.
“Then come! I’ve long since grown indifferent to life or death! If you have the guts, face me! We’ll show you the courage and hot-blood of the white dragon race! We won’t bow to mere clowns!” Long Chen shouted at them, worried that they would be too afraid to fight.
Bai Yingxue, however, tightened her grip on the sword at her waist. She was a bit nervous.
“Don’t worry. There won’t be a fight,” whispered Long Chen.
They definitely wouldn’t fight here. One reason was that the Golden Crow race lacked a.s.surance of victory. Additionally, the people behind them wouldn’t let two major factions fight.
“You two, please calm yourselves. Give my Brahma Pill Valley some face, alright? There’s no need to do anything ras.h.!.+” A group of elders in Pill Valley robes appeared, stepping in as mediators.
“Both the white dragon race and the Golden Crow race are powerful overlords in their own right, each with their reasons for being here. Rather than resorting to violence, why not sit down and discuss matters peacefully? If you start fighting over nothing, others will only laugh at you,” a three-vein Heaven Saint addressed them with poise. He skillfully avoided using his status to suppress them and didn’t immediately accuse one side of being the instigator. He was the very picture of a good mediator.
“If the two of you can put your trust in the Brahma Pill Valley, let us find a place to talk first. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Once we resolve it, everyone can get along,” continued the elder.
“There’s nothing to discuss! The Golden Crow race wanted to steal my Sun Flame, so I killed the ones who tried. The real issue is that they claim your Brahma Pill Valley leaked information about my Sun Flame! Is that just gossip? Speak! How could the great and glorious Brahma Pill Valley really do something so despicable?!” shouted Long Chen.
The expressions of the Golden Crow race’s experts instantly changed, while the Brahma Pill Valley’s elders looked visibly uncomfortable, turning their gazes toward the Golden Crow race.
The vice race leader immediately cried out, “He is spouting slander! That is absolute nonsense!”
“Tch, who do you think I, Bai Dale, am? Would I do something so meaningless? That’s right, it was that little fellow right there who said it! Have him come out and swear on his soul! Let’s see if he can really do it!” Long Chen declared, suddenly pointing at a two-vein Heaven Saint from the Golden Crow race.
Long Chen’s keen eye for detail and memory served him well. He directly identified the ringleader who had attempted to rob him previously.
That elder’s expression instantly darkened, and the vice race leader glared at him furiously. This elder had not told him about this matter. How was he supposed to give the Brahma Pill Valley a way out now?
“Get out here! Speak, what happened!?” roared the vice race leader.
That elder of the Golden Crow race quivered in fright, unable to utter a word. Suddenly, an elder beside him stepped forward and knelt on the ground, pleading, “Seniors of the Brahma Pill Valley, it was our fault. But we were left with no choice. The white dragon race was completely tyrannical, and a misunderstanding led them to want to annihilate us. We had no choice but to drag the Brahma Pill Valley into this. It was purely to protect our lives! We don’t mean any disrespect. As old fools, our lives hold little value, but for the sake of these children, let us take responsibility. With our deaths, we will prove the Brahma Pill Valley’s innocence.”
After saying this, this elder took out a sword and pretended to slice it across his neck.
“Hmm, this actor is quite skilled,” muttered Long Chen in surprise. He hadn’t expected the Golden Crow race to have such a talent.
As expected, as soon as the elder did this, a ray of divine light shot out, knocking his sword aside. The mediator from the Brahma Pill Valley stopped him from killing himself. After that, the mediator said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. If my Brahma Pill Valley’s name can save lives, it’s worth it, even if it damages our reputation.”
The vice race leader quickly added, “The Brahma Pill Valley’s magnanimity and generosity are truly admirable. However, tarnis.h.i.+ng your reputation is a terrible sin that cannot be overlooked. When we return, I will confine those responsible to a thousand years of seclusion for reflection.”
“Many thanks, senior!” The Golden Crow race elders bowed deeply to the Pill Valley experts. It went without saying that this move was quite effective; this matter pa.s.sed just like that.
“Guard Captain, about this matter…”The Pill Valley elder turned to Bai Yingxuan. But as his divine sense brushed over Long Chen, a sensation of danger rose within Long Chen’s heart.
