Chapter 782 – Thunder Clan’s Internal Meeting

They chatted as they walked off, completely ignoring Situ Yu.

Long Chen’s humiliating words had driven Situ Yu mad. A powerful aura erupted from his body, and Situ Yu glared at him coldly. He cried furiously, “Long Chen, stop right there! If you are a man, fight me! Don’t just run your mouth!”

Unfortunately, Long Chen did not respond at all and left directly.

“You trash! Stop right now!” roared Situ Yu. A powerful gust of wind flew at Long Chen, causing Long Chen and Suyan’s clothes to flap loudly.

“Big Brother, what now?” Suyan asked a little frantically.

Long Chen’s gaze darkened. “Go home. Everything will be revealed in ten days. We know our own strengths. There is no need to fight here just to get the last word.”

Long Chen had matured significantly and would not lose his reason over someone calling him trash.

Suyan was mesmerized by the teenager. Although Situ Yu was much stronger, she felt like Long Chen could not be defeated.

This assured her greatly.

“Alright. We will just treat them as barking dogs, then. Hehe ...”

The people around Situ Yu started to scold him.

“What a piece of trash! After he witnesses Brother Situ’s strength, he’s going to flee like a coward?”

“Yeah! Long Chen is a coward! What talent does he have other than manipulating women? People like that cannot be considered men. He is not fit for Princess Suxue, nor does he deserve the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance.”

“All of it should belong to Brother Situ. He is a true prodigy. Long Chen is nothing! Look, I’m insulting him, yet he doesn’t even dare turn around! Look at him! Ahahaha ...”

The crowd was enjoying themselves as they insulted Long Chen and burst into laughter.

But Situ Yu’s expression remained cold.

The barrage of insults had not roused even a slight reaction from Long Chen, as if they had hit nothing. It felt like Situ Yu had missed a punch, and he felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Long Chen! I have reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and have obtained the Ever Changing Spear. In ten days’ time, I will pulverize you. Everything you own will be mine, including the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance! Situ Yu swore to himself as he gritted his teeth.

Long Chen had long returned to the inner city by then. After comforting the little girl Suyan for a while, he prepared to leave so he could resume his cultivation. That was when Suxue walked over to him. She had heard about what happened earlier that day and said worriedly, “You ran into Situ Yu today?”

“Just some minor bickering. It was nothing,” said Long Chen.

“Well said.” Lei Yuan clapped, then everyone quickly clapped too.

“Since you have mentioned it already, I will speak directly. The Thunder clan has been living in the Demon clan’s shadow for many years. Every decision was led by the Demon clan as if we were their servants. Wherever they go, we follow. We’ve had enough of living like that. I believe everyone other than the Patriarch has had enough too, right?”

Everyone listened to Lei Yuan solemnly.

“I think everyone knows what I mean,” he continued.

One of the men said, “Great Sect Elder, we indeed understand. I agree with your opinion too. I will raise my hand first. What about the others?”

When this man raised his arm high, the others gritted their teeth and raised their hands too.

Lei Yuan smiled and said, “Since everyone is in agreement, then I will not waste time on nonsense. The Seven Star Lord’s inheritance is the most important opportunity for the Thunder clan. It does not matter what Lei Ji thinks; we must take it for ourselves. Then we will break free from the Demon clan and find our own base in the Ancient Graveyard. As for Lei Ji ... If he still stands on the Demon clan’s side after we take the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance and lead the clan away, then we no longer need a patriarch like him.”

Lei Yuan was the only elder who could utter such words.

“How will the Thunder clan survive without a Heavenly Martial Realm master?” asked one of the elders.

“Don’t worry. Lei Ji isn’t that stupid. His roots are in the Thunder clan; do you think he could leave it? Most importantly, we must execute this plan fast and end all fights quickly. Once we have broken free from the Demon clan and retrieved the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, he will pick the correct side. As long as he does, the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance will belong to him,” said Lei Yuan with a dark gaze.

It was true. The Demon clan had the Divine Demon Lord’s inheritance, while the Divine clan had the White Lotus Fairy’s inheritance. If they could get the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, they would be on equal footing with the other clans.

“We, the Thunder Elders, are not betraying the clan. I summoned everyone here today only for the good of the Thunder clan and Patriarch Lei Ji. He may be talented at cultivation, but he constantly follows Bai Lan and will not amount to anything great. We must do this to force Lei Ji to break the brotherly relationship between them, so he will become a true Thunder patriarch!”

Lei Yuan’s thoughts were the same as the other Elders.

“Great Sect Elder, just tell us what to do. Indeed, the Patriarch rarely thinks about the benefit of the clan. We will do as you say.”

Lei Yuan shook his head. “I am old. I can no longer hold the whole clan up. The Thunder clan still needs Lei Ji to lead it. The only thing I want to do before I die is to turn Lei Ji vicious, break free from the Demon clan, and make the Thunder clan as great as them!

After a pause, he added, “I have already come up with a plan.”

“When do we move? Long Chen spends his days cultivating the Seven Star Body. Bai Lan and the Patriarch are both standing guard nearby.”

Lei Yuan said, “I have already planned the date, which will be in ten days. During the duel between Long Chen and Situ Yu, the Thunder clan shall give them a surprise.

The group was surprised and asked, “Won’t there be a large number of people present during that time? The Demon clan has many experts; how could we succeed?”

Lei Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, “Have you all forgotten about the Thunder clan’s ultimate treasure? When all their masters are standing together, our Thunder Prison will give them a surprise!”
