Chapter 793 – Naked

Long Chen did not even look at the attack and passed through it entirely. The Seven Star Body was unharmed. Under Long Chen’s control, the Three Thousand Star Clusters spear that he threw out turned into a blue, starry, ten-meter-long whip. Long Chen gripped one end of the whip, then the other end wrapped tightly around Lei Yuan, who was thrown into the air by the Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!

“Come back!” Long Chen gripped the whip harder, and the Three Thousand Star Clusters whip wrapped tightly around Lei Yuan so he could not move a single part of his body. He was dragged in front of Long Chen. Compared to the Thunder Prison, the Three Thousand Star Clusters had more complete control over its victim. Lei Yuan screamed again and again, and although the Three Thousand Star Clusters had turned into a long whip, it was still filled with celestial Qi, which tortured him greatly!

The Seven Star Lord was famous for his divine weapon, and its awesomeness was on full display. It was made up of three thousand stars, and Long Chen could rearrange them into a long whip!

This also meant that the Three Thousand Star Clusters could be turned into any weapon—a sword, knife, whip, or any strange weapon. The Three Thousand Star Clusters’ base state was a spear, so it could only unleash maximum power in its spear state!

The whip was enough to completely trap Lei Yuan!

Under the control of the Three Thousand Star Clusters, the elderly Lei Yuan endured the torture of the celestial Qi, unable to move. He glared at Long Chen out of the corner of his eye with both despair and fury.

“Stop that!” The other elders all used their best techniques to stop Long Chen, but he was one step ahead of them. Before they came over, he had Lei Yuan under his control.

If they angered Long Chen, Long Chen could kill Lei Yuan instantly!

When they saw this, they stopped their attacks and glared at him angrily. Lei Yuan was in his hands, so even though they were strong enough to win an all-out battle, they were trapped. They had underestimated Long Chen. If they had used absolute power to kill him at the start, they would not have ended up like this!

Had Long Chen just neutralized the seven Thunder Elders’ attacks alone?

The crowd gasped in disbelief when they saw this.

This teenager was too talented. The teenagers of the Demon clan couldn’t wait to see him dead a few minutes ago, but now, after his extraordinary performance, they were truly impressed. Previously, they had submitted to Situ Yu because of his strength and talent, but now they knew Long Chen was much more talented. Perhaps this brat was more suited for the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance than Situ Yu.

Many people were completely impressed by Long Chen.

“The Seven Star Lord’s inheritance is not wasted on him at all!”

The other elders of the Thunder clan glared at Long Chen as if they wanted to eat him alive. One said, “Long Chen, let our Great Sect Elder go, or we will fight you to our deaths!”

“Let him go! Don’t force our hands! If you do, the Demon clan will not end up well!”

They could only threaten Long Chen in hopes of scaring him, but Long Chen was not an easy person to scare. If he was, could he have made Lei Yuan his hostage?

Of course not.

“Are you guys joking? I caught this old guy with great difficulty; how could I let him go?” Long Chen laughed and looked at them with amusement.

One of the Thunder Elders said, “Long Chen, you must be careful. Release him from the Three Thousand Star Clusters. If the Great Sect Elder is fine, then we are open to negotiations. If anything happens to him, don’t even think of remaining alive. We have already risked everything to reach this point. Even if the relationship between the Thunder and Demon clans becomes irreparable, we will not regret this at all.”

When Long Chen heard him, he retracted the celestial Qi from the Three Thousand Star Clusters and only used it to retrain Lei Yuan. The old man indeed did not have much strength left. If the celestial Qi continued to hurt his body, he would actually die.

This was a very good hostage; it was not worth it to kill him.

Long Chen had Lei Yuan, so the Seven Thunder Elders were anxious. The Thunder Prison would not last much longer, and it would become ineffective after a while. They had clearly failed to kill Long Chen as quickly as they had imagined, and they had even lost their chance. This meant that their plan was about to fail.

They felt defeated by this result.

They had spent such a long time planning this, but it all failed due to Long Chen, who was an unpredictable factor. Who would have thought that this Sixth Earthly Martial Stage brat would break through to the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage mid-battle? Another more terrifying thing was that he had not only killed both Situ Yu and Situ Yao, he had successfully taken the Great Sect Elder hostage despite being surrounded by the other Thunder Elders!

Looking at their expressions, Long Chen knew that they had almost given up. It was the perfect moment to give them more psychological pressure.

Then the old man Lei Yuan screamed, “You useless trash! Don’t listen to him! We have already gotten to this point! If we do not succeed, it will be all for nothing! It doesn’t matter if I die! If you don’t act now, we will all die! Listen to me! Ignore me; just attack him!”

Slap!

Long Chen slapped him on the face when he finished speaking, making him swallow the rest of his words.

“Great Sect Elder!” Everyone glared at Long Chen with seething hatred. There were very few people in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory who would dare slap the Great Sect Elder’s face.

However, Great Sect Elder Lei Yuan was still in his hands, so they could not do anything.

“Old man, if you speak again, I won’t mind slapping you a few more times. Let’s see how thick your skin is. Would you believe me if I said I would strip you naked too?” Long Chen laughed shamelessly.

Shameless.

Many people had the same thought.

Not just shameless, but in very edgy taste too.

Long Chen had goosebumps. He wouldn’t dare do that; he was only saying it to scare the old man. However, the crowd now saw him as a person with a strange fetish.

“Shut your mouths.” Long Chen’s tone was cold. His performance today was beyond expectations, and he had a sense of regalness. The moment he spoke, he scared everyone into silence.

Long Chen’s gaze darkened, then his expression calmed once more. He said to the Thunder Elders, “The outcome of today is clear. Your plan has failed. I think the Thunder and Demon clans should have a good talk. We’re all brothers; we can have a calm conversation and talk about our disagreements. There’s no need to point weapons at each other.”

“Long Chen, what are you talking about?” Lei Yuan roared. To him, they had already failed, and they would be punished with death. Bai Lan and Lei Ji would never let them off.

“Did you guys really think that your Thunder Prison could trap the Demon clan’s patriarch?” Long Chen asked with a smile.

Everyone was confused. They looked at Bai Lan, who shook his head and smiled. “I really can’t hide anything from you, brat.”

To be honest, Bai Lan could indeed break free, but he really wanted to see how Long Chen would resolve this. Indeed, Long Chen’s performance was shocking. Since Long Chen had given him away, there was no need for him to continue pretending to be trapped. Long Chen had already resolved the matter anyway.

“Put the Thunder Prison away. If we let Brother Bai break out, the Thunder Prison will be destroyed. We’ve already used two-thirds of its power, so only one-third remains. Don’t waste the Thunder clan’s precious treasure,” Lei Ji said after a moment of silence.

The Thunder Elders looked at each other.

Only a short time had passed since the revolt started, yet two-thirds of the Thunder Prison’s power had been spent. Even if they did not take it down and continued the standoff against Long Chen, they would not be able to get the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Once Bai Lan and Lei Ji came out, the situation would worsen.

“Don’t worry. Brother Lei and I are also at fault for what happened today. Fortunately, there were no casualties. I think everyone should calm down and have an open discussion. The Demon and Thunder clans are brothers, not enemies,” Bai Lan said after some thought.

Based on what they said, they did not seem to blame the Thunder Elders, who were in disbelief. They knew that they had overstepped, so weren’t they going to be punished with death?

Lei Ji was the Thunder clan’s patriarch, and he had always worked for the good of his clan. If he lied to the Thunder Elders at a moment like that, and let Bai Lan kill them after he came out, then Lei Ji would no longer be the patriarch.

“Great Sect Elder, what should we do?” Everyone looked at Lei Yuan, hoping he could make a decision.

Lei Yuan looked at Bai Lan and Lei Ji’s calm expressions, then at their clansmen, who were staring at him in silence, then at the Three Thousand Star Clusters wrapped around him. He was stricken with grief and anger, but he had no choice. “Take down the Thunder Prison. We will end this here. We have lost to Long Chen today!”

He had given up.

When they heard this, Bai Lan, Lei Ji, and Long Chen smiled in relief.

Killing was a brutal way of treating one’s enemies, but they were allies and brothers. Although there were disagreements, there was no need to kill each other. Long Chen knew that Bai Lan and Lei Ji would deal with this matter appropriately. After today, perhaps the Thunder and Demon clans would become more united.
