Chapter 5096 Long Chen’s Target  

“Everyone else, go in! If you encounter Mo Nian, try to capture him alive!” shouted an elder to Pill Valley’s disciples.

“Yes, we’ll definitely capture him alive!” shouted those disciples. They ran into the spatial gate, vanishing one after another.

When Bai Yingxue saw Long Chen smiling so brightly, she hastily warned, “You shouldn’t smile so obviously.”

“Do you not get it? Their play has been exposed,” whispered Long Chen.

“What play?” asked Bai Yingxue, confused.

“Their lie about the channel. Didn’t they say the channel was made by Lord Brahma? What did he say after that?” replied Long Chen.

“They said only those with divine light shining on their bodies could enter, and they needed to sincerely believe in h—oh, I understand,” said Bai Yingxue.

Mo Nian was neither a Pill Valley member nor a follower of Brahma, yet he had managed to enter the channel, exposing Han Qianye’s lie for all to see.

At this moment, Han Qianye’s face was as dark as charcoal, his anger barely contained. He glared at the remaining eleven elders, who, under his scrutiny, kept their heads bowed in silent shame. Seeing this scheme, Long Chen was delighted. Mo Nian’s skill was impressive—he had infiltrated Pill Valley’s ranks undetected and turned their own scheme against them. It was no wonder Long Chen hadn’t found any trace of him in the past few days. Instead of making his presence known, Mo Nian had cleverly stayed hidden, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Long Chen himself had made quite a large ruckus, and Mo Nian would only need to ask around a bit to discover Long Chen’s whereabouts.

Now Long Chen knew why he hadn’t had any way of communicating with Mo Nian. Attempting a communication would have been too risky from Mo Nian’s side. Mo Nian had evidently been aware of Long Chen’s activities, which was why he gave Long Chen this nice surprise at the end. He really did like showing off.

The sacred and hallow ceremony had been ruined by Mo Nian. These experts were not idiots, and while they didn’t get it at first, they quickly realized that they had been lied to.

However, having reached this point, Pill Valley could only thicken their face and continue their act. They paid little mind to others’ opinions and chose not to concoct further lies. In any case, no one dared to challenge their authority.

After the disciples of Pill Valley walked in, the so-called “sincere believers” followed suit, and none were turned away.

The smaller channel disappeared, and a giant spatial gate appeared between the two divine statues. This was the passageway for everyone else.

With Mo Nian's disturbance, Han Qianye was rendered speechless. His prepared speech was now useless, and he lacked Long Chen’s quick thinking. Just how was he supposed to come up with an excuse that wouldn’t be riddled with a hundred holes?

Since he couldn’t even come up with a good lie, he chose silence. Meanwhile, those eleven elders were quivering with fear, knowing that Han Qianye was nursing a belly of fire. If they couldn’t let him vent, they would also suffer.

At this moment, another elder stepped forward, attempting to salvage the situation. “Everyone, we were the ones who failed to keep a close eye on things. I’m sure everyone is laughing at us for letting someone infiltrate our territory. Mo Nian took our special token and disguised himself as an elder, which is why he could enter the Brahma channel...”

The elder put on a brave face and told this fabrication, which, although flimsy, served as an excuse.

He continued, “The second channel is now open. Everyone, please follow the designated order. We’ve drawn lots to determine the order and ensure fairness. Whatever race we call out, please enter.”

“Dragon race!” announced the elder.

The first race called was the dragon race, and their experts instantly sharpened their gazes.

With so many dragon experts present and everyone eager to be at the forefront, a chaotic rush ensued. The white dragon race was caught up in the frenzy as they surged toward the spatial channel.

“Stay orderly!” shouted the elder. However, the dragon races were already charging through like a swarm of bees, completely disregarding his commands. The elder’s frustration mounted.

“What prideful and arrogant dragon race? Is this their so-called pride?” the elder snorted.

The chaos was caused intentionally by a certain person. Long Chen had told Bai Yingxue to spread chaos through the white dragon race. Now, there was so much chaos that some of the dragon experts ended up running into the Golden Crow race’s side. After all, they were right beside each other.

Within the chaos, no one noticed that the Golden Crow race had gained an extra member. Drawn by the chaos, no one noticed it. freēwebnovel.com

When Long Chen snuck into the Golden Crow race’s ranks, Huo Linger’s giggle rang out in his mind. “Hehe, success!”

Using the Golden Crow Flame to conceal his aura, Long Chen went to the rear of the Golden Crow race’s army. This time, the Golden Crow race had summoned eight of their branches. With so many foreign faces, it was very normal for them not to recognize each other.

As a result, Long Chen easily blended in without anyone noticing. He watched Bai Yingxue and the others enter the spatial gate and felt a sense of relief.

Seeing that Han Qianye wasn’t acting odd, Long Chen started moving forward. While some people glared at him, seeing his powerful aura, they didn’t say anything and just let him through.

As Long Chen reached the center of the army, Huo Linger stealthily adjusted his aura, making him seem like a half-step Heavenly Chosen. By the time he got to the front, his aura was that of a full Heavenly Chosen. Surrounded by Heavenly Chosens, he blended in seamlessly.

The Golden Crow race had an impressive number of Heavenly Chosens, so an additional one went unnoticed. Meanwhile, the dragon experts continued their chaotic rush. Fortunately, the spatial gate was large enough to accommodate them.

“Next is the devil race! Remember to maintain order, or you’ll be laughed at!” shouted the elder.

The devil race surged forward, though their advance was still somewhat chaotic, it was more orderly compared to the dragon race. Following them was the demon race. Before Long Chen could react to the call, the Golden Crow race surged ahead.

Damn, I forgot the Golden Crow race is part of the demon race.

Realizing his mistake, Long Chen immediately rushed forward with the Golden Crow race. He then noticed Han Qianye standing nearby. Just as Long Chen was about to slip past him, he suddenly moved with lightning speed and slapped Han Qianye across the face.

“You old fogey, who gave you the right to use your aura to suppress me?!”
