Upon seeing Zhuo Wulong, a look of reverence appeared on everyone’s faces. They all clasped their hands in salute and greeted him, "Domain Alliance Master!"

Zhuo Wulong swept his indifferent gaze over the crowd.

After witnessing this, the two Enforcers immediately approached Zhuo Wulong and asked with utmost respect, "Domain Alliance Master, what just happened?"

Zhuo Wulong glanced at the two Enforcers and said in a deep voice, "The boy who just fled committed an act of gross insubordination in the Domain Alliance Hall. Not only did he try to assassinate me, but he also killed one of our Domain Alliance’s Enforcers!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Zhuo Wulong’s words, everyone present looked utterly shocked. Some even wondered if they were hearing things.

A mere upstart tried to assassinate the Domain Alliance Master and even killed an Enforcer? How could he be so audacious?

At this moment, the expressions of the Jinglei Sect members grew even more solemn. No wonder Long Chen had left so hastily, not even daring to get close to them. It was clear now that he was trying to avoid implicating the Jinglei Sect.

Chu Lingjun, Long Xin, and Tang Le exchanged a look, seeing in each other’s eyes that they all believed the Domain Alliance Master was deliberately targeting Long Chen. They knew his character well; Long Chen was neither reckless nor a person who killed senselessly. The cause of this incident was likely not as simple as the Domain Alliance Master claimed.

Just as Long Xin was about to speak in Long Chen’s defense, Tang Le stopped her. "If you say anything now, no one will listen. You’ll only draw the Domain Alliance Master’s ire."

"If it comes to that, the entire Jinglei Sect might not be able to leave this place in one piece."

Hearing this, Long Xin’s delicate brows knitted together. "Are we just going to let him drag Long Chen’s name through the mud like this?"

"If you step forward now, you won’t achieve anything except bring trouble upon us all."

"Tang Le is right," Chu Lingjun added. "For now, all we can do is watch and wait. We need to find out where Long Chen went so we can secretly help him escape."

Their conversation naturally reached Lei Yujing’s ears. She transmitted her voice to the three of them, "Rest assured. No matter what Long Chen has done, he will always be a disciple of the Jinglei Sect. Therefore, no matter what trouble he finds himself in, the Sect will do its utmost to help him!"

At that moment, Lei Zhen and the other elders also cast a firm, reassuring gaze at Long Xin, Tang Le, and Chu Lingjun. Seeing this, their anxious hearts finally eased somewhat.

But even with the Jinglei Sect’s backing, they were still deeply worried. After all, they were now up against the Domain Alliance! Beyond the Domain Alliance, they might have to face other powers as well. Relying solely on the Jinglei Sect’s support was far from enough.

With a wave of his hand, Zhuo Wulong projected a clear image of the fight that had just occurred in the Domain Alliance Hall for all to see. Of course, he had naturally filtered out his own words about seizing the inheritance and Long Chen’s treasures. The remaining footage made it look as though Long Chen had attempted to assassinate Zhuo Wulong and even murdered the Enforcer, convincing everyone that Zhuo Wulong’s words were true!

When the crowd saw the scene of the battle, they all looked profoundly shocked. They hadn’t thought it was real. What shocked them even more, however, was that Long Chen had actually managed to escape from the Domain Alliance Master’s grasp.

Whether it was the Xueying Sect, the Ancient Maple Hall, or the Wonderful Sound Sect, a hint of surprise flickered across their faces. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

For someone so young to possess such strength... if we allow him to develop, he’ll become a tremendous threat to our three powers! This is the perfect opportunity to eliminate him and prevent future trouble!

The members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, meanwhile, wore grim expressions, a cold sneer playing on their lips.

Fighting is normally forbidden within the Domain Alliance, but now even the Domain Alliance Master himself is taking action against that boy. It’s time for that scourge, the Jinglei Sect, to be annihilated!

But the most shocked of all were undoubtedly the Four Great Sects: the Heavenly Water Sect, the Divine Blade Sect, Feiyu City, and Xuanyue Valley. They were among the first to have any dealings with Long Chen.

To think that the ant we were once chasing to kill has grown to this extent in such a short time. This growth rate is simply astonishing! None of us ever expected his strength to become so formidable! It’s unbelievable!

But fortunately for them, they weren’t the only ones who wanted to deal with Long Chen now. They had the Heavenly Demon Sect, who was determined to fight him to the death. They had the watchful eyes of the first-class forces: the Xueying Sect, the Ancient Maple Hall, and the Wonderful Sound Sect. More importantly, the boy had now offended the Domain Alliance!

In other words, there was no place left for Long Chen to hide within the God-Devil Domain. If a real conflict broke out, even the Jinglei Sect would likely be severely implicated and might even face annihilation. For them, the stars had aligned.

Lei Zhen’s brows were furrowed tightly as he dared to ask, "Domain Alliance Master, could there be a misunderstanding here?"

As soon as he spoke, every eye in the place locked onto him. Bearing the immense pressure, Lei Zhen continued to address Zhuo Wulong, "I know Long Chen’s character. With his integrity, he wouldn’t commit such an act. Could there be some..."

Before Lei Zhen could finish, a tremendously powerful pressure erupted from Zhuo Wulong, instantly enveloping him. Lei Zhen’s body stiffened as if Mount Tai itself was pressing down on him, an unbearable weight.

Zhuo Wulong said coldly, "So your Jinglei Sect’s disciple has good character, but you’re questioning mine?!"

Lei Zhen’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I meant. I just think there must be some misunderstanding."

"Get out!" Zhuo Wulong barked. With a wave of his hand, a powerful force burst forth, sending Lei Zhen flying backward.

He was thrown back a full twenty meters! The vital energy and blood within him roiled, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

"Sect Master!" the Jinglei Sect disciples cried out in alarm upon seeing him injured.

Lei Zhen shook his head and gestured to them. "I’m fine."

"Men of the Domain Alliance, hear my command!" Zhuo Wulong’s voice was calm, yet it carried clearly to everyone’s ears.

At his call, members of the Domain Alliance immediately appeared before him.

Zhuo Wulong commanded in a deep voice, "Capture that boy!"

"Yes!" the members of the Domain Alliance responded in unison.

In the next second, their gazes locked onto the direction in which Long Chen had disappeared. Then, their figures flickered and vanished, all pursuing in the direction Long Chen had fled.

Zhuo Wulong swept his gaze indifferently over the crowd. "This boy killed a member of our Domain Alliance. Whoever captures him will be handsomely rewarded by the Domain Alliance!"

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up. An elder from the Xueying Sect narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Domain Alliance Master, even if you hadn’t said that, we would still hunt that boy down."

An elder from the Ancient Maple Hall also stepped forward. "That’s right! That boy humiliated us so badly. If we let him get away, we’ll all lose face."

An elder from the Heavenly Demon Sect nodded. "According to my information, that boy isn’t from our God-Devil Domain but from the Mysterious Heavenly Realm. We will not allow an outsider like him to run rampant here!"

As the major powers declared their intentions, more and more forces followed suit, all eager to capture Long Chen and claim the Domain Alliance’s reward.

Seeing so many people eager to take Long Chen down, a cold, harsh smile crept onto Zhuo Wulong’s lips.

To him, these powers were nothing more than pawns he could use. Once Long Chen was captured, all the Magical Treasures on his body would be his!

Just then, the Heavenly Demon Sect elder’s gaze landed on the members of the Jinglei Sect. With malicious intent, he turned to Zhuo Wulong and said, "Domain Alliance Master, that boy is from the Jinglei Sect. Since he dared to be so audacious, the Jinglei Sect cannot be absolved of responsibility. Shouldn’t they be wiped out as well?"
