Chapter 6128 Zither Sect’s Wei Wuqing
Chapter 6128 Zither Sect’s Wei Wuqing
The bronze cauldron radiated divine light, replacing the shattered barrier and protecting the original devil race’s experts.
Countless attacks charged at it—but all were repelled.
“What?!”
The sudden turn stunned the attackers. Even the leaders who had been preparing their final assaults halted in shock.
There, standing calmly among the original devil race disciples, was a black-robed man.
Yue Xiaoqian’s pale face bloomed with a smile, beautiful yet tinged with sorrow. Though she smiled, tears streamed down her cheeks. Her lips trembled, but she couldn’t say a word.
“Xiaoqian, I’m sorry for being late,” Long Chen said, gently caressing Yue Xiaoqian’s cheek.
Sensing her fading aura, he felt a sharp ache pierced his heart.
Long Chen immediately gave her a medicinal pill. A moment later, Yue Xiaoqian’s body relaxed as overwhelming weariness took her. Her eyes fluttered shut, and she instantly fell asleep.
Long Chen handed her to a female original devil race disciple and slowly turned.
At the sight of him, cries of shock rippled through the crowd as faces turned pale.
“Long Chen! He’s Long Chen!”
Long Chen’s name had long since spread throughout the nine heavens. After his counterattack against the ten thousand races, the Brahma Pill Valley intentionally praised him, making him the target of countless heavenly geniuses. Now, almost everyone within the nine heavens and ten lands knew his name.
After all, the title of the human race’s number-one heavenly genius was too dazzling.
From defying the ten thousand races, counterattacking during his tribulation, destroying the Heaven Peering Mirrors, to slaughtering Brahma Pill Valley experts—every deed was monumental.
As a result, Long Chen became unmatched in fame. No one could compare to his light.
When they saw a lone Human Emperor blocking their path, these experts felt only disdain. But when they saw Long Chen’s face, dread crawled up their spines. They could not suppress the instinctive fear that surged from deep within.
“Who cares if he’s Long Chen?! Isn’t it brazen of him to call himself the human race’s number-one expert? Today, I’ll kill him to show how worthless such a thing is. Come out! I’ll give you a chance for a fair fight!” a white-robed man shouted as he stepped forward.
This man looked otherworldly, divine light coiling around him like flowing threads of the Heavenly Daos. A zither was strapped to his back, and his Sovereign qi was suffocating.
“Zither Sect!”
The cry of alarm swept through the crowd. They hadn’t even realized a Zither Sect expert was among them. And now, he only revealed himself when Long Chen appeared—proof enough of his true prey.
After all, whoever defeated Long Chen would seize his title, his fame, and the prestige that came with it.
“Long Chen, don’t fall for their trap!” shouted the woman holding Yue Xiaoqian. “We’re grateful you came, but we don’t dare ask you to save us all. Just take the Sacred Daughter and go. We’ll block them!”
Yue Xiaoqian had never mentioned Long Chen, but his reputation preceded him. They all knew he was powerful.
But no matter how strong he was, could he stand alone against such overwhelming numbers?
They had already accepted death. But if Long Chen could carry Yue Xiaoqian away, then at least the original devil race still had hope.
“Why?” Long Chen snorted coldly. He turned toward the enemy ranks and started walking forward.
“You shameless dogs blinded by greed... You dare to harm my woman. Today, if even one of you escapes alive—
“I’ll write my name backwards!”
Long Chen’s voice was icy and heavy, like a god’s fury echoing through the air. A suffocating chill swept through the air, lowering the world’s temperature in an instant.
“Big brother Long Chen, don’t worry. Master lent me sacred energy. Even a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord couldn’t break through the barrier in one blow,” said Yao Ling-er calmly.
The bronze cauldron shielding the devil race was the Demon Moon Cauldron, not the Earth Cauldron. The Earth Cauldron knew that Long Chen would start a bloodbath, so it had chosen not to act directly. However, it had granted Yao Ling-er a portion of sacred energy as its apprentice.
With that power, even a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord couldn’t breach the Demon Moon Cauldron’s protection easily.
As Long Chen stepped outside the barrier, all eyes fell upon him.
High above the sky, the rumbling continued. The third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords were still fighting intensely, unable to bother with what was happening below.
“Hahaha! Not bad, you have some guts.” The white-robed expert sneered as Long Chen approached. “I am Wei Wuqing of the Zither Sect. Today, I’ll end your so-called legend and show you what true power is.”
In contrast, Long Chen’s expression was apathetic. Without saying anything, he eyed that man.
The surrounding cultivators fell silent. They had heard of Long Chen’s might, and now they would see it for themselves.
Even the group leaders didn’t make a move. They wanted to observe first.
Although Long Chen’s words were very arrogant before, the killing intent coming from him was rather frightening. Hence, they didn’t dare to rashly make a move.
“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? Shouldn’t you say some last words?” Wei Wuqing mocked.
“A little trash like you dares to speak so boldly?” Long Chen said, voice calm and cold. “Even Li Chunyang has no right to act arrogant before me—let alone you.”
When Wei Wuqing heard Li Chunyang’s name, his expression faltered. But then, he sneered, “The noble name of Prince Chunyang isn’t something you can easily mention. Did you think tossing out his great name would intimidate me? It only shows your worry and fear. Are you stalling for time?”
Suddenly, his manifestation appeared behind him. A ghostly figure sat cross-legged, an ancient zither resting on its lap.
The moment it appeared, the Heavenly Daos rumbled. A sacred aura filled the air, as if time itself had turned back to an ancient era. The manifestation exuded the dignity of a divine being, and its pressure made countless souls shiver.
“This is my manifestation—my ancestor,” Wei Wuqing declared proudly. “In life, he was a sixth Heavenstage Sovereign Lord. As for myself, I am the Wei family’s greatest heavenly geniuses. I obtained the patriarch’s favor and also my ancestor’s blessing. In this state, I can suppress even a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord’s domain. It’s time to show you, a frog at the bottom of a well, what real power is.”
He formed hand seals. The divine figure behind him raised a hand, hovering above the strings of its zither.
BOOM!
A sound blade sliced through the air like a crescent moon, tearing through the sky. A high-pitched whine exploded in everyone’s ears as the sonic blade slashed straight toward Long Chen.
