Chapter 5751 Treachery
Long Chen’s promise filled Luo Zichuan with joy. After all, despite his strength, there were many aspects of the violet blood race that he couldn’t interfere with.
This was especially true of the ongoing battle against the devil race. Both sides had a tacit understanding of each other’s goals and operated under an unspoken agreement—violet-crown Divine Emperors would only be mobilized in the direst circumstances.
As a result, Luo Zichuan became part of their reserve forces, while Heaven Saint disciples formed the main battle line. This wasn’t unique to him; all experts of his level were merely overseers, unable to engage in direct combat lightly.
Self-interest was an unavoidable part of human nature. As a member of the Luo family, Luo Zichuan naturally wished for the survival of its disciples. Many of them were youths he had watched grow up—Luo Yanfeng, Luo Ying, and the others. They weren’t just strong; they were also righteous.
He hoped that more of these exceptional disciples would survive and rise to the top. Luo Zichuan also believed that other families had similar disciples: strong, capable, and possessing noble characters.
Thus, Luo Zichuan urged Long Chen to broaden his perspective. His focus shouldn’t be solely on the Luo family but on the right people across the entire violet blood race. Otherwise, he would see everyone outside his family as an enemy.
In truth, many of their present conflicts were caused by the higher-ups. From a personal enmity, they escalated it into clan-wide vendettas. Long Chen couldn’t afford to be blinded by such feuds.
At the same time, while these individuals weren’t necessarily evil, they weren’t necessarily good either.
Now, Long Chen understood his grandfather’s intentions. If nothing else, on the battlefield, he should protect strong warriors with good character whenever possible.
Luckily, Long Chen had a keen eye for judging people. He rarely misread a person’s nature.
...
When Luo Zichuan returned to his residence, he found Luo Yingchen anxiously awaiting him.
“Zichuan, how did it go?” asked Luo Yingchen.
As their family head, Luo Yingchen was a man of impeccable moral character and strength. However, he lacked boldness in his methods.
After Luo Zichuan had recovered, Luo Yingchen sensed his power rising to a new level—likely surpassing his own. Because of this, Luo Yingchen wanted to pass the family head position to Luo Zichuan.
He had also noticed the violet blood race undergoing drastic transformations. Doubting his ability to endure the mounting pressure, he believed that only Luo Zichuan could guide the family through these turbulent times.
However, Luo Zichuan had rejected the offer multiple times before. So today, Luo Yingchen came not to press the issue of succession but to discuss the distribution of Luo family disciples on the battlefield.
To his surprise, Luo Zichuan assured him that as long as Long Chen agreed to lead the disciples, everything would go smoothly. Thus, Luo Yingchen had been anxiously awaiting news.
“Don’t worry. He has agreed,” said Luo Zichuan.
Luo Yingchen sighed in relief. “Then what does he need from us?”
“Ignore them. We should also be careful!” shouted Luo Yanfeng, continuing to lead the way.
They proceeded to the transportation formation and vanished.
...
Deep within a dark palace hall, an ancient voice murmured, “The Luo family’s brats have set out?”
“They’ve gone.”
“Lead them to the depths of the battlefield. If the higher-ups question it, blame it on a transportation failure,” ordered that ancient voice.
“Will that work? If they all die...”
“Find a scapegoat.”
A sinister chuckle echoed in the chamber.
“Understood!”
...
After one transportation, Long Chen and his companions arrived at the violet blood race’s outer region, where the air reeked of blood.
“Prepare yourselves. The next formation is activating.”
As the second formation activated, Long Chen narrowed his eyes at the Elder controlling it—a member of the Bi family. The Elder smirked at him mockingly.
A moment later, space twisted, and they arrived in a blood-soaked wasteland.
When Luo Yanfeng looked around, his expression darkened.
“This isn’t our battlefield!”
Countless devil experts spotted them and immediately charged.
“Damn, it was definitely the Bi family! They’re trying to get us killed!” Luo Jiang roared.
But shouting wouldn’t change their fate. In an instant, they were surrounded.
