It was the same word, but compared to before, Zhao Manjiang and the others were as if they had been pardoned, and there was no trace of anger anymore.
Zhao Manjiang hurriedly bowed respectfully to the Whispering Mountain Master, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Long Chen said:
"Wait..."
Zhao Manjiang's body froze, thinking that Long Chen suddenly regretted it, and turned around to look at Long Chen:
"What do you want, sir?"
Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking directly into Zhao Manjiang's eyes: "You are a sword cultivator, you should be naturally proud, what is it that has bent your spine?"
Hearing Long Chen's words, Zhao Manjiang's heart was shocked, and under Long Chen's gaze, he was actually a little afraid to look into Long Chen's eyes.
Long Chen's eyes were like a mirror. He didn't dare to look at Long Chen, and in fact, he didn't dare to face his inner self.
Obviously, Long Chen saw that he was not a sinister villain, but he did such a petty thing, which was a blasphemy against sword cultivators. Zhao Manjiang's heart was also full of shame and contradictions.
Zhao Manjiang sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Pride? I lost it when I was very young, I'm afraid I can never find it again!"
"In your heart, is there anything more important than your personal life and family honor?" Long Chen asked.
Zhao Manjiang was stunned, but before he could answer, Long Chen continued: "After you go back, please tell the seniors of the Jiuli clan: I, Long Chen, always repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. I am the best friend, but also the worst enemy. As for whether you are an enemy or a friend, the decision is in your hands."
After listening to Long Chen's words, Zhao Manjiang was full of emotion. Although he had not yet experienced Long Chen's true strength, this wisdom was really amazing.
Almost all of their goals were seen through by Long Chen, and Long Chen's words were also the last warning to the Jiuli clan.
This time, Long Chen was equivalent to letting bygones be bygones, but if someone plotted against Long Chen next time, then Long Chen and the Jiuli clan would probably have no chance to reconcile.
Obviously, all of them thought Long Chen was too simple, and from Long Chen standing next to the Lord of Whispering Mountain, it can be seen how high Long Chen's status is in the Purple Blood Clan.
If the Jiuli Clan still maintains its original attitude, then they may lose Long Chen forever, and even push Long Chen to the opposite side.
Today, Zhao Manjiang has seen Long Chen's strength, and he is very grateful that Long Chen can save his face, otherwise the Lord of Whispering Mountain will definitely detain them for a period of time and force the Jiuli Palace to admit his mistake and take the people.
Obviously, Long Chen does not want the Purple Blood Clan and the Jiuli Clan to become too stiff because of him. After all, the Nine Heavens Spiritual Qi has revived, the Ten Thousand Races have risen, and the human race is in a weak position due to internal and external troubles. If the Purple Blood Clan and the Jiuli Clan fight each other again, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I will definitely convey my words." Zhao Manjiang said solemnly.
At this time, he was completely convinced by Long Chen's wisdom and no longer dared to regard Long Chen as a disciple.
Just like that, Zhao Manjiang led his people away, but before leaving, the ceremonial officer directly returned the gifts they brought to them.
It was a very impolite behavior to return the gifts directly, but Zhao Manjiang and others did not dare to say anything. After all, they were in the wrong first, so they could only leave in disgrace.
"Long Chen, what do you think of the Jiuli clan?" Everyone else in the hall had already left, leaving only Lord Qingyu and Long Chen.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I don't have that much time to study them. If they can treat me as a family, I can also treat them as a family.
But if they plot against me, I will definitely not be polite to them.
According to my previous temper, those who have the intention to kill me will be punished even if they don't die. I will never let them leave so easily.
But this is Emperor Mountain, I have to consider the Purple Blood Clan, and this can be regarded as the last warning to them.
However, I don't have much confidence in the Jiuli clan. The fact that Zhao Manjiang came here blatantly to plot against me shows that the top leaders turned a blind eye to this matter. Since they didn't allow it, they didn't oppose it.
Another possibility is that different factions appeared in their top leaders, and they disagreed with each other and were deadlocked. Zhao Manjiang took the opportunity to play this trick.
However, Zhao Manjiang was just following orders. This person is very powerful, but his acting skills are not good. If I were the mastermind behind the scenes, I would not choose him because it would be easy to expose him.
Zhao Manjiang's coming means that they have no better choice. If Zhao Manjiang is the best candidate, then the people who want to harm me are most likely from the Zhao family.
The four major families of Long, Ye, Zhao, and Jiang, except for the Jiang family, have basically been slaughtered several times by me. It is normal for them to hate me. "
In fact, Long Chen had already roughly figured out what was going on when he saw Feng Fei and Jiang Yue'e not in Zhao Manjiang's group.
If the Jiuli Temple was really kind-hearted, Feng Fei would definitely be willing to be a vanguard and would risk her life to squeeze into the team to pass on the good news to Long Chen. She was the person who least wanted Long Chen to have a conflict with the Jiuli clan.
But since Feng Fei and Jiang Yue'e didn't show up, Long Chen roughly guessed what was going on, and the reminder from the Qiankun Ding made everything clear.
The Whispering Mountain Master sighed and said, "As the family grows, it is inevitable that there will be internal conflicts. This is inevitable.
But how to use internal conflicts, transform them into energy, and promote the development of the family is the key.
Although there are conflicts within the Purple Blood Clan, everything is under control, and Zhao Manjiang's arrival indicates that the internal conflicts within the Jiuli Clan are already showing signs of getting out of control. "
Long Chen was full of admiration for Lady Qingyu. She not only had a far-sighted vision, but also had amazing courage. She dared to use Bi Xingyao, who was a spirit awakener, as her stepping stone to bet back the Guiyi Jue.
As she once said to Long Chen, some people deserve to die, but when to die and in what way to die are very important. With such a wise and courageous helmsman, the giant ship of the Purple Blood Clan can be stable. In
comparison, the Jiuli Clan might be in some trouble. However, this is not something that Long Chen should worry about or have a headache about. He now has only one goal, which is to fully improve himself and the Dragon Blood Corps. Only a strong force can guarantee survival.
"Master Mountain Master, I am afraid that I have to leave Emperor Mountain temporarily!" Long Chen said.
Although he was prepared in his heart, Qingyu still said, "You have been targeted by the Great Brahma lineage. If you leave Emperor Mountain, the road ahead will inevitably be full of dangers.
Once you leave the protection range of Emperor Mountain, we can't protect you. Have you really thought about it? "
Long Chen smiled and said, "From the mortal world to the fairy world, I have always been the one protecting myself, don't worry!"
Looking at Long Chen's handsome face and sunny smile, Lord Qingyu felt a little distressed. Behind this sunny smile, there was so much bitterness and suffering hidden.
"Okay, child, I won't force you. You just need to remember that no matter what happens, Emperor Mountain will always be your home and your most solid backing."
Lord Qingyu reached out and straightened Long Chen's collar, just like a mother, instructing her child who was about to travel far away.
Long Chen's eyes were slightly red. After wandering for so many years, he felt a sense of home for the first time in Emperor Mountain. Although Emperor Mountain also had a cold side, he could feel her warm side and had a strong sense of belonging.
After Long Chen left, the other three mountain masters appeared. Looking at Long Chen's departing back, they could only sigh helplessly.
