Chapter 0694: I Killed Him—It’s the Same Thing

“Strict investigation? Send elders to guard all the exits?” Huang Long sneered. If that was the case, he had no objection to making the Lei Peng clan even angrier.
Due to his relationship with Heibei, Huang Long didn’t hold much goodwill toward the Lei Peng clan.
“Stop!” Suddenly, a shout came from the side. The few Lei Peng clan members who had been whispering earlier surrounded Huang Long, trapping him in the middle.
One middle-aged man, who seemed to be their leader, sized Huang Long up from head to toe before saying, “Kid, why were you sneering just now?!”
It turned out that Huang Long’s sneer had been seen by them.
Huang Long remained calm, staring back at them and saying, “Whether I’m smiling or crying seems irrelevant to you, right? Does the Lei Peng clan even care about such things?!”
The middle-aged man was stunned, his expression turning ugly.
As this dark-haired youth said, it wasn’t the Lei Peng clan’s business whether others were smiling or crying. But the middle-aged man had recently been angered by his younger clan members, so he was in a bad mood. When he saw Huang Long sneering during their earlier conversation, he stopped him in anger, leading to this situation.
“It’s true that whether you smile or cry has nothing to do with us, the Lei Peng clan. But kid, I now suspect you’re an accomplice in killing our Fifth Elder Nuwen. I’m going to take you back to the Lei Peng clan’s judicial department to face punishment. You’d better come with us peacefully!” the middle-aged man said coldly at Huang Long.
This was originally just a frame-up by the middle-aged man. But he didn’t expect that this dark-haired youth wasn’t an accomplice but the actual killer!
Huang Long looked at the middle-aged man and sneered, “What if I don’t go?”
“Don’t go?” The middle-aged man sneered. “That’s rebellion! Kid, don’t blame us if we’re ruthless!” With that, he waved his hands, ordering the other Lei Peng clan members to attack Huang Long.
But at that moment, those clan members suddenly froze mid-air.
Under the middle-aged man’s shocked gaze, they inexplicably turned into clusters of golden-red flames, then into ashes, drifting downward from the sky.
“This… this?!” The middle-aged man stared at Huang Long in disbelief, his eyes wide, his shock gradually turning into terror.
The Lei Peng clan was the ruler of this Hongmeng Continent. It could be said that all the hundreds of millions of godly strongmen on this continent were under their rule.
That was the rule of the Hongmeng Realm!

Plus, the Lei Peng clan was one of the five dominant forces in the Hongmeng Realm, which to some extent emboldened some of its members, with some becoming extremely arrogant at times! This middle-aged man was one such member. Usually, they would oppress other race’s godly strongmen on the streets, and those strongmen could only be angry but not speak out. But now, he finally realized that he was in serious trouble this time! The fact that the opponent could silently eliminate those high-ranking godly descendants of the Lei Peng clan meant the opponent was at least a supreme godly strongman. Supreme godly strongmen were nothing to the Lei Peng clan, but they were definitely not someone a near-legendary high-ranking godly strongman like him could afford to provoke. At that moment, Huang Long slowly walked toward him. “You, you, don’t come over!” the middle-aged man retreated in panic. Huang Long sneered and kept closing in on him. “You, you!” The middle-aged man kept retreating, trying to fly away, only to find himself as if in another space. Though he could see the people outside, they seemed unaware of what was happening here and continued walking as usual. “You dare kill a descendant of the Lei Peng clan? Aren’t you afraid it will affect your own family members?!” The middle-aged man made a final struggle. This was an iron law of the Lei Peng clan: anyone who dared kill a descendant of the Lei Peng clan on the Hongmeng Continent would die, and their family and forces would also be punished—the Lei Peng clan would wipe them out completely! “Afraid? What do you think?” Huang Long sneered and slowly raised his hand. The middle-aged man retreated frantically, shouting, “Who the hell are you?!” “Just now, weren’t you talking about your Fifth Elder, Newwen, being killed in Tianwai Tian?” Huang Long said. Fifth Elder?! The middle-aged man was stunned, then his expression changed. He pointed at Huang Long, but before he could speak, he was struck by Huang Long’s Sky Fire Finger and disappeared from existence. After killing him, Huang Long stepped out of the space. The streets around remained normal, as if nothing had happened. After wandering around, Huang Long returned to his hotel room. However, a day later, news spread that the Eighth and Tenth Elders of the Lei Peng clan had been killed. This news caused a huge stir. Along with it, news of the Fifth Elder, Newwen, being killed in Tianwai Tian also spread. Together, these two pieces of news only added fuel to the fire. Before long, almost all the godly strongmen in the major cities of the Hongmeng Continent knew about it, and discussions abounded—just as intense as those about Huang Long fleeing under the attack of the Nine Divine Kings.

The Lei Peng clan is one of the five supreme powers in the Hongmeng Realm and currently the ruler of the Hongmeng Continent. Yet, with five of its elders—the Eighth Elder, the Tenth Elder, and three others—killed in succession, it is a blatant challenge to the clan’s authority and status! An outright provocation!

The Hongmeng Continent became increasingly chaotic.

Inside the hotel, Huang Long was shocked upon hearing the news of the Eighth and Tenth Elders of the Lei Peng clan being killed; he never expected such a thing to happen.

“Could it be the Fire Yang Divine King who did this?!” Huang Long thought to himself.

Only a Divine King could kill those supreme divine warriors—the Eighth and Tenth Elders of the Lei Peng clan. Moreover, Huang Long was well aware of the grudges between the Fire Yang Divine King and the Lei Peng clan.

Additionally, the Fire Yang Divine King had mentioned going out on a mission without specifying what it was—just a coincidence in timing!

On the third day, news spread that the Great Elder and the Second Elder of the Lei Peng clan had also been killed. In total, five elders of the clan had perished!

The entire Lei Peng clan was enraged, while the Hongmeng Continent was filled with tension, excitement, agitation, and unease.

In the major cities, the number of Lei Peng clan scouts increased several times over, and even outside the cities, Lei Peng clan guards could be seen everywhere.

On the third day, the Fire Yang Divine King, who had left, suddenly returned. His first words to Huang Long were, “I killed those four elders of the Lei Peng clan!”

Huang Long understood that the Fire Yang Divine King meant the Great Elder, the Second Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Tenth Elder.

It was indeed the Fire Yang Divine King who did this! It seemed that after suffering a loss at the hands of Fei Li in the Heavenly Realm, he was now taking his anger out on those elders of the Lei Peng clan. The Great Elder, the Second Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Tenth Elder were unfortunately chosen as his targets!

“Then let’s go!” said Huang Long. Since the Fire Yang Divine King had completed his task, it was time to leave the Hongmeng Realm and return to the Chaos Divine Plane.

This time, the Fire Yang Divine King didn’t suggest staying in the Hongmeng Realm for a few more days. He nodded and said, “Okay!” With mixed feelings, he tried over those three days to break the restrictions placed on Huang Long by the Heavenly Tree, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t succeed.

Huang Long’s mastery of array restrictions once again surprised him.

So, the two of them left the city in a flash and headed toward the exit of the Hongmeng Realm.

Along the way, they encountered many Lei Peng clan scouts, but before they could understand what was happening, they died at the hands of the Fire Yang Divine King’s wrath.

Before long, Huang Long and the others reached the exit of the Hongmeng Realm.

At the exit of the Hongmeng Realm, the two encountered some minor obstacles. At this exit, there were actually five elders on guard. Seeing the five elders of the Leipeng clan standing side by side, blocking the exit to the Hongmeng Realm, Huang Long’s eyes flickered. Back then, since Huang Long could guess that it was the Fire Sun Divine King who had killed the eldest elder of the Leipeng clan and four other supreme gods, then the Leipeng clan’s leader, Divine King Fei Li, should also be able to figure it out. So, Fei Li surely couldn’t think that these five elders of the Leipeng clan could stop a powerful Divine King like Fire Sun! Suddenly, Huang Long’s eyes sharpened as he stared at a point in the void, and the Fire Sun Divine King also gazed into the void. At that moment, the void trembled, and then a middle-aged man covered in lightning appeared before Huang Long and Fire Sun. This man was none other than Divine King Fei Li. After Fei Li appeared, a purple-black lightning mark on his forehead flashed once. “Great Divine King Fei Li!” The members of the Leipeng clan bowed to Fei Li one after another. Fei Li nodded, then told them to stand up, turned to look at Fire Sun coldly, and said, “What? Fire Sun, after killing our elders from the Leipeng clan, do you just want to leave like this?!” With that, Fei Li unleashed his murderous intent without restraint. Fei Li hadn’t expected that Fire Sun, despite being a powerful Divine King, would take his anger out on his clan’s elders because of their past grudges, disregarding his status and attacking supreme gods! The death of the five elders was one thing, but the authority of the Leipeng clan was far more important! If word of this spread in the Hongmeng Realm, the negative impact on the Leipeng clan would be unimaginable. Fire Sun looked at Fei Li, then suddenly burst into laughter. After stopping laughing, he said mockingly, “What? Fei Li, do you still want to keep me here?” His strength was currently inferior to Fei Li’s, but for Fei Li to think he could keep him was nothing but delusion! Fei Li stared coldly at Fire Sun for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Huang Long and sneered, “If I can’t keep you, then killing him will serve the same purpose!” From the information Fei Li had obtained, Fire Sun was with a supreme god, and it seemed their relationship was quite close. Killing this supreme god would be some small compensation. After saying that, without further hesitation under Fire Sun’s strange gaze, Fei Li leaped up and swung a palm at Huang Long, shouting, “Kid, die!” The power of the Thunder Divine King condensed into a thunder dragon, charging at Huang Long. Before the thunder dragon could reach him, a destructive force struck Huang Long. After making his move, Fei Li ignored the outcome here and turned his attention back to Fire Sun.
