Chapter 234

Ling Yunzi announces:
"The trial is beginning ahead of time. The Corrupt path has already invaded us.
"Corrupt path disciples have already entered the Righteous Path's territory.
"This time it's not just our Xuantian Monastery. The other sects' disciples are all in charge of their own regions.
"But the battlefield can change in the blink of an eye, so you cannot adhere to those regions too strictly. You'll have to mutually defend and assist each other. There must not be any internal strife!
"And for this operation, your commander will be Long Chen. All disciples must listen to his orders!"
Tu Fang then mentions the Jiuli Secret Realm to Chen.
Ling Yunzi smiled. "Good. From today onwards, you'll be this operation's commanding general. If anyone dares to not listen to your orders, you have the authority to directly punish them any way you want, including taking their life!"
Ling Yunzi's words made the Heaven Earth Alliance's disciples extremely excited. They were extremely proud to have Long Chen as their commander.
Even Gu Yang tacitly acknowledges Chen's leadership.
Long Chen's strength had reached the point where even his enemies were convinced by his power. And even his opponents didn't have the slightest bit of doubt about his character and morals.
"Can I fight shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield with you?" Gu Yang asked of Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at Gu Yang and smiled slightly. "If you are willing to give your back to me, then I naturally won't betray your trust."
Gu Yang suddenly laughed heartily, "Good. Then my life will be in your hands."
Everyone's hearts shook. None of them had thought Gu Yang would lower his head to Long Chen, and so publicly as well.
Lei Qianshang wanted to say something as well, but even after a long time, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Although he definitely supported Long Chen, he couldn't bring himself to lower his face like that. He sighed, unable to be as magnanimous as Gu Yang.
Long Chen looked over everyone. "The previous grudges of the monastery are all over now. I'm sure you all know what kind of person I am.
"As long as you don't betray me, then I, Long Chen, am willing to bleed even my last drop of blood for any one of you.
"The ones we're facing are the cruel Corrupt path's disciples. I can't promise that every one of you will be able to survive, but I can promise you that at the most dangerous times, I will definitely be at the very front to face them."
He didn't give them an impassioned speech. He only gave them a simple promise. But that simple promise struck like a hammer at the core of people's hearts.
And that caused all of them to stir, their blood surging. Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and the other core disciples all felt as if their blood was boiling, wanting to immediately go kill their enemies.
Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen with complete worship. When Long Chen was actually serious, he was a hero capable of supporting both heaven and earth. She liked this Long Chen, the real Long Chen who was worthy of worship.
Ling Yunzi smiled. Long Chen really was a natural-born leader. He didn't even need to waste any effort to immediately raise everyone's morale.
Ling Yunzi waved his hand, and hundreds of huge flying Magical Beasts flew over, descending on the plaza. They were surprisingly all third rank flying mounts.
"Move out!"
