Chapter 2151: Ten Thousand Times, Ah, Ten Thousand Times!

Long Chi's face alternated between pale and red, finally settling into a look of utter fury and humiliation.

"What of the Celestial Venerables? Before this Emperor, even Celestial Venerables are but ants! This Emperor will suppress them—what can you do to me?"

Long Chi roared, unleashing the full pressure of an Emperor of Heaven, and was about to strike at Ye Yuan.

"Stop!" the Dragon Lord bellowed, directly intervening to block Long Chi.

Long Chi's face darkened, and he snapped, "Dragon Lord, what is the meaning of this? If this brat cannot be killed, can't even others be suppressed? As the Protecting Elder of Rain Dragon Village, does this Emperor not even have that right?"

The Dragon Lord narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Long Chi, sober up! Open your eyes and look at his brow!"

Long Chi was taken aback and looked at Ye Yuan again.

Upon closer inspection, his pupils contracted!

"Heavenly Dragon Mark!" Long Chi exclaimed.

He had been so enraged by Ye Yuan's mockery earlier that he hadn't noticed the mark on Ye Yuan's brow.

Now that he saw it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ye Yuan had originally planned to reveal his identity and ask the Dragon Lord for help, but he hadn't expected Long Chi to be so wary of the mark on his brow.

"That's right, it's the Heavenly Dragon Mark! To see the Heavenly Dragon Mark is to see the Ancestor! If you keep making trouble, even I won't be able to protect you!" the Dragon Lord said solemnly.

Long Chi's face changed like a chameleon, shifting again and again.

This fellow had entered the Dragon Eye Cave, not only breaking through to the Celestial Venerable realm but also obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Mark!

Long Chi couldn't help but wonder, what had he done!

Wasn't the Dragon Eye Cave supposed to be a death trap? Why did this guy go in and come out like he had cheated, swapping his spear for a cannon in ten years?

Long Chi's mood was beyond words.

Finally, Long Chi gritted his teeth, bowed deeply to Ye Yuan, and said, "Long Chi pays respects to the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!"

Ye Yuan was quite surprised; he hadn't expected the mark to be so effective.

The other Emperors of Heaven and Celestial Venerables all bowed in succession.

"We pay respects to the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!"

Ye Yuan looked at the Dragon Lord and asked, "What does the Heavenly Dragon Mark represent?"

The Dragon Lord said in surprise, "You don't know?"

Ye Yuan shook his head.

The Dragon Lord was speechless for a moment, then explained, "The Heavenly Dragon Mark is a recognition given by the supreme existence of the Dragon Clan to a junior, signifying that he has the potential to become a peerless Emperor of Heaven! In the Dragon Clan, it is also a symbol of status, known as the Son of the Heavenly Dragon! The status of the Son of the Heavenly Dragon is equal to that of the Village Dragon Lord, and even an Emperor of Heaven must bow when seeing him!"

Ye Yuan was also dumbfounded; this small mark actually represented such a lofty status.

But soon, a smile flickered across Ye Yuan's lips, and he said, "Then... do I have the authority to punish him?"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan pointed at Long Chi.

Long Chi's expression froze, his face turning extremely ugly.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the Dragon Lord's eyes as he nodded and said, "Naturally! Long Chi, why not apologize to the Son of the Heavenly Dragon?"

Long Chi was furious inside!

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

He had prided himself on his cleverness, forcing Ye Yuan into the Dragon Eye Cave.

As a result, after Ye Yuan made a full circle, he became the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!

The Son of the Heavenly Dragon, whose status equaled that of the Dragon Lord of the Heavenly Stockade—how noble was his identity?

Offending the Son of the Heavenly Dragon was equivalent to insulting the Dragon Lord of the Heavenly Stockade.

Even if he were a Heavenly Emperor-level expert, he could not bear such a charge!

"Long Chi... Long Chi had no intention of offending the Son of the Heavenly Dragon. I beg the Son of the Heavenly Dragon to forgive me!" Forced into a corner, Long Chi had no choice but to bow his head.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a strange smile flickering across Ye Yuan's lips, and his heart skipped a beat.

What does this kid want to do?

Hmph! Do whatever you want. I, Long Chi, am a dignified Heavenly Emperor—what can you possibly do to me?

Apologizing to you is already the greatest concession!

"Forgive you? That's impossible. Since you've offended me, you naturally must be punished!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Long Chi said with a dark face, "Ye Yuan, don't go too far!"

Ye Yuan squinted and sneered, "Going too far? Heh, you should be grateful that I'm only at the Heavenly Sovereign realm. If I were at the Heavenly Emperor realm, given that you just made a move against Lü'er, I would have slapped you to death long ago! You should know very well why Long Hao was slapped to death by me!"

Not mentioning Long Hao was fine, but at the mention of Long Hao, Long Chi ground his teeth in anger.

This guy killed Long Hao, and now he had to bow his head to him—what a utter humiliation!

Dragon Lord Long Xiyue said calmly, "Long Chi, you are well aware of the charge for offending the Son of the Heavenly Dragon. Within the Rain Dragon Stockade, the matter can still be settled. But if it's reported higher up, things might not be so easy to handle. And don't forget, he is a Demi-Saint! The Son of the Heavenly Dragon plus a Demi-Saint, heh..."

Long Xiyue did not continue, but Long Chi should understand her meaning.

A Demi-Saint was indeed nothing much among the Dragon Clan, but a Demi-Saint who was also the Son of the Heavenly Dragon—that was a completely different matter.

The Priest Temple was already a giant among the demon clans, its strength not much inferior to that of the Dragon Clan.

These two titles combined were equivalent to two great mountains!

Even if Long Chi were the Heavenly Emperor, his fate would still be miserable.

Long Chi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Ye Yuan, don't go too far! If you push a Heavenly Emperor to the point of a fight to the death, do you know the consequences?"

At this point, Long Chi had no choice but to bow his head and accept Ye Yuan's punishment, even though he was extremely unwilling.

But if this matter were brought to higher authorities, he would still be unable to escape blame.

Ye Yuan chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, I always repay evil with good. I won't make things too difficult for you."

Seeing Ye Yuan's cheerful demeanor, everyone felt a sense of foreboding.

Long Xiyue, on the other hand, looked curious; she also wanted to see what Ye Yuan was going to do.

"Go to the top of the stone tower and shout 'Long Chi is a pig' ten thousand times! And make sure it's loud enough for the whole village to hear." Ye Yuan said with a grin.

At these words, everyone's faces showed a strange expression.

Making a Heavenly Emperor do such a thing—this guy could actually think of it.

The Dragon Lord almost burst out laughing, quickly covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.

Long Chi's expression changed, and he roared, "Kid, you... you're going too far!"

Ye Yuan's gaze turned cold, and he said in a chilly tone, "Going too far? Hah! This matter started because of Long Hao. Don't you know right from wrong in your heart? When you threatened me with Lü'er's life to force me into the Dragon's Eye Cave, why didn't you say I was going too far? When you attacked Lü'er, why didn't you say I was going too far? Now, just asking you to shout a few times, and you accuse me of going too far? If you don't want to do it, fine. I'm just a mere Heavenly Venerate, not qualified to order a Heavenly Emperor around. But there will always be someone who will make you do something."

With that, Ye Yuan snorted coldly and swept away, flicking his sleeves.

"Wait!" Long Chi's expression changed, and he called out to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan stopped and said calmly, "Ten thousand times, not one less."

Long Chi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Before he could speak, the kid had already cut off any negotiation.
