Chapter 106 - Horrifying Suppression
Everyone was startled. They suddenly discovered that the surrounding scenery changed. A huge mountain appeared in front of them, and a long stone staircase went straight up straight towards a huge gate. .
The gate was three thousand feet high, and the gate was charging into the clouds. It was grand, sacred, and awe-inspiring.
On top of the gate, there was a huge word ‘Xuan’ written in immortal ancient language. The character was graceful and full of wisdom, as if it wanted to break through the clouds to leave this place.
“We’ve passed! That’s great! We’ve passed!”
As the crowd looked at the gate, they could not help but rejoice. Many of them were even crying tears of joy because they were sure that it was the gate to the Xuan Dao Sect.
Long Chen curled his lips when he saw everyone crying with joy and didn’t want to pour cold water on them. According to his experience, it shouldn’t be that simple. If they really did pass, then they should be standing in front of the gate and not climbing these hundreds of miles of stairs.
At this time, a slim figure slowly appeared on the lowest flight of stairs. It was Mu Qing Xuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Mu Qingxuan looked down on them from above, and a smile appeared on her face, causing them to feel as if they were bathing in spring wind. Especially when she appeared at this time, it made them feel ecstatic.
"Senior sister Qing Xuan is here to pick us up!"
“Qingxuan, you’re too beautiful, we love you!”
"Senior Sister Qingxuan, I will work hard to cultivate and be your dao companion in the future!"
As soon as Mu Qingxuan appeared, the entire scene began to boil with excitement, as if some disciples had lost control of themselves. The excited disciples also began to have more courage.
“Hehe, thank you for thinking so highly of me, I’m very happy for you. You’re all so excited, I don’t even know how to speak up!” Seeing everyone’s excited expression, a difficult and unwilling expression surfaced on Mu Qingxuan’s face.
Guo Ran and the rest looked at each other. Indeed, it was just as their boss had said; it definitely wasn’t that simple. At this point in time, everyone had yet to recover from their excitement, but many of the experts had already heard the hidden meaning behind his words.
"All of you, shut up. Only the elites of the Xuantian Sect can enter. Not all trash are qualified to fish in troubled waters," a fourth level Skywalker coldly said, throwing cold water at the crowd.
Long Chen glanced at him. Although this person was a fourth level Skywalker, his aura was extremely solid. His strength was not bad, and he had a bit of self-confidence in himself.
The moment that person spoke, the atmosphere immediately sunk. Many people were angered, and just as they were about to curse out loud, Mu Qing Xuan’s voice rang out:
"Junior brothers and sisters, calm down. Listen to me carefully!"
A tinge of pity appeared in Murin’s beautiful eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Cultivation is ruthless, ten years ago, I was like you guys. I stood here and saw many of my comrades cheering, howling and even crying.
However, when we hear the next piece of news, many people’s hearts have cooled down because before you can enter the Xuan Dao Sect and become a disciple of the sect, you still need to go through a cruel test.
To be honest, your batch of disciples has much greater talents than ours, but much less strength.
"By conservative estimates, at least half of your people will be mercilessly eliminated. This number will very likely increase!"
Murin Xuan’s voice was somewhat low and deep, as if a large hammer had fiercely smashed into the hearts of everyone present. It caused them to feel as if stars had appeared in their eyes, and they couldn’t even stand stably.
"Half? They would all be … "Eliminate?"
The smiles on the faces of the excited crowd instantly vanished, to be replaced by looks of disbelief.
Seeing the crowd’s expression, a hint of pity appeared in Murin’s beautiful eyes. However, she had no choice but to open her mouth and say:
"Cultivation is so cruel. There are no emotions. The strong are always strong. All of the resources need to be fought for.
Therefore, you will see that the strong are getting stronger and stronger, because all the resources that should have been given to the weak have been given away by the strong.
Don’t complain that it’s unfair, because this world has never been fair. If you want to become strong, you need to fight, fight, and fight.
I have said what I should say. Then, I shall proceed to the final test. The content of this test is very simple.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was an explosive sound and the air trembled. Two huge figures appeared in front of the stairs. Everyone’s hair stood on end, and their bones turned cold. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on them from head to toe.
"A Class 10 Magical Beast!"
Long Chen was shocked. Long Chen had experienced this terrifying pressure twice, so he knew what it meant.
They were two huge snakes over ten thousand feet long. Their bodies were covered in golden scales, and ancient symbols flickered on the scales. Endless pressure was being emitted, and it seemed as if the heaven and earth had solidified.
The head of the large snake actually had a golden horn on it, and on the golden horn, runes flowed back and forth, actually causing the space to distort nonstop.
“These aren’t snakes, and they aren’t pythons either. They’re legendary Flood Dragons!” Long Chen’s heart was pounding rapidly as he recognized these two terrifying magical beasts.
Snake, python, flood dragon, dragon; the legendary process of evolving from snake to dragon; however, some people thought this was nonsense. A snake was a snake, after all, it was nothing more than a huge snake.
However, there were also people who believed that this was true. The process of evolution from snake to dragon was in fact the process of a mortal cultivating to become a true fruit and becoming an immortal.
The argument between the two had not come to a conclusion after countless years, because whether it was a dragon or a god, both had become legends. No one could come up with any solid evidence to prove it.
But today, when Long Chen saw the real dragon, he was shocked. It was due to the existence of the dragon, but it was also due to the fact that the Xuan Dao Sect possessed a terrifying Class 10 Magical Beast like the dragon.
Long Chen was still okay, but this wasn’t the first time he’d encountered such a terrifying existence. The expression on the Dragonblood Warrior’s face slightly changed. Although they had once faced the pressure of a Class 10 demonic beast, they still felt as if their scalps were going to explode when facing it at such a close distance.
As for the other disciples, they were in an even worse condition. Their faces were pale, and they had difficulty breathing. Some of them couldn’t even stand straight. The pressure of a Class 10 Magical Beast made them feel fear and trepidation.
"Thank you for your troubles, seniors." Mu Qingxuan faced the two Class 10 Magical Beasts and respectfully bowed.
"No worries, let the exam begin. We still need to go back and cultivate!" One of the flood dragon spoke, scaring many people to the point of kneeling on the ground.
The fact that magical beasts could speak the human tongue was something that countless cultivators couldn’t imagine. Now that they faced two Class 10 Magical Beasts, the suppression was one thing, but the most terrifying thing was the fear that came from the depths of their souls.
"Yes!"
Mu Qingxuan respectfully replied. With a wave of her hand, countless runes lit up on the top of the stairs and then dimmed down, as if nothing had happened. However, Long Chen could feel that this long flight of stairs seemed to contain some sort of power.
"Alright, the final test has been opened. As long as you pass the 999 step Sky Profound Stairway, you will pass the test." Mu Qingxuan said.
… ….
Just as Mu Qing Xuan was about to open the Profound Sky Stairway, all the elders were looking at the scene inside the grand hall. From here, they could see the scene in front of the Profound Heaven Stairway.
There was a complicated expression on their faces. There was regret, expectation and impatience. An elder could not help but sigh.
"The strongest in history, and the weakest in history!"
Everyone was speechless. They all understood the meaning behind this sentence. Talent was the best in the past, but strength was the worst in history. This was a great irony.
After observing the entire journey, even though the elders had high standards, they couldn’t help but want to curse. What kind of bastards raised all of the disciples into soft footed sheep?
Cultivating talent and cultivation, not nurturing the heart and willpower, was equivalent to raising a wolf into a sheep. Since the wolf’s teeth were almost degenerate, what was the use of it? Blow the enemy to death?
This was also a place where the elders were extremely angry. A good disciple’s talent had all been ruined. This was truly a reckless waste of a natural resource.
"I had wanted to take a guess, but now… "Sigh …" An elder wanted to say something but hesitated.
"You don’t need to be too angry, and you don’t need to use the standards of the Central Region to judge these kids. After all, the conditions of this remote area is limited.
It could be imagined that after suddenly obtaining so many geniuses and feeling overjoyed, it was understandable that he didn’t want them to suffer any losses.
“Besides, the disciples of the Eastern Wastelands are really looking forward to it. The kids of the Dragon Blood Legion aren’t easy to deal with,” the dean said with a smile.
"It is indeed rare. These people’s talent is ordinary, but whether it’s fighting strength or actual combat experience, they are both shockingly abundant. “That Long Chen is simply a monster. He’s so strong that he beat up Han Yunshan and Wei Changhai as if they were children. He even made Han Yunshan into an ice boat to ferry them away to earn money …” An elder couldn’t help but ask.
The elders were all paying close attention to Long Chen’s actions. When they saw Han Yunshan’s a Skywalker of his generation being used as a mean of transportation to earn money, they were completely speechless. Long Chen’s mind was truly different from a normal person’s.
"Courtyard Master, with your accurate insight, how many people do you think will be able to pass this time?" An elder asked.
“This question is really bad. First, put on a tall hat. If I’m wrong, this face will be slapped so hard!” The dean chuckled.
That elder felt a burst of awkwardness. The others also smiled and did not say anything, quietly waiting for the courtyard head to reply.
The courtyard master’s expression became slightly solemn. Looking at the scene in the air, he said, "Under the suppression of two Senior Flood Dragon Clansmen, their souls are suppressed until the very end. No one can conceal the weakness in their hearts.
The first 333rd step was a test of fear, the middle step was a test of willpower, and the last 333rd step was the hardest step, a test of negative emotions.
These disciples were used to living a comfortable life and had not gone through a life or death test. The test of the Mysterious Sky Stairway had nothing to do with talent, it was about one’s heart that was being interrogated.
“I won’t guess. If I don’t make it known that everyone is feeling uncomfortable, I might as well pray for them.”
… ….
At the moment when the Elders in the Elder’s Courtyard were worried for them, the entire Mysterious Sky Stairway was completely silent. No one dared to act rashly.
“I’ll be the first one. You guys follow me as well.” Long Chen said and walked towards the stairs under the gazes of several hundred thousand disciples.
Chapter 107 - Unique Group of Geniuses
Long Chen was the first to walk up the stairs. Tang Wan’er and the others stayed a distance away from him and also followed him. .
Long Chen’s actions had captured the hearts of everyone. Everyone’s gazes were fixated on Long Chen, making him the center of attention for hundreds of thousands of people.
“Hmph, he’s just trying to attract attention. Who does he think he is?” How could the final examination be that simple? Just wait and see if you can make a fool of yourself! " Some secretly mocked him, thinking that Long Chen loved to show off and would definitely suffer a loss.
“Idiot. How could a mere fourth rank Skywalker like you understand Senior Brother Long Chen’s abilities?” “Before commenting on others, let’s see if you have the qualifications to do so!” someone retorted sarcastically.
The person who spoke up for Long Chen was a disciple who had made his way through the trial with Long Chen. They had personally witnessed Long Chen’s tyrannical strength. A terrifying Class 8 Magical Beast being killed with a single punch. How domineering was that?
What impressed everyone the most was that Long Chen never put on airs in front of anyone, nor did he have the arrogance of someone superior to him.
Later on, they came to understand one thing: true powerful figures never pretended to be powerful, because there was no longer a need for it.
As for those who pretended to be arrogant, they were usually those who felt inferior to others because they didn’t want others to know that they were arrogant.
To put it bluntly, the high-profile people were all there to prove themselves. There was no need to prove themselves, or it could be said that they were already tired of the feeling of being the center of attention.
“Why are you talking for the Eastern Wastelands when you’re also a f * cking person from Northern Yuan? What did he give you to make you kneel and lick him?” The person who mocked earlier could not help but get angry.
"Fuck, I look down on incompetent people like you. You just splashed dirty water on people and looked for trash with a sense of existence.
If you’re f * cking capable, why don’t you just follow them? What are you doing here? And you were born in a coal mine? " That person was also not a good person. The moment he breathed out, the smell of gunpowder immediately wafted out.
"Do not make a ruckus, or else you will be disqualified from taking the examination!" Mu Qingxuan coldly reprimanded.
At this moment, Long Chen had already stepped onto the first step. Mu Qingxuan had been completely focused on Long Chen, paying attention to every change he made.
However, when Long Chen stepped onto the first step, there wasn’t any change. It was as if he had stepped onto an ordinary step without even batting an eyelid.
"How is this possible?" Mu Qingxuan was shocked.
She was one of the previous disciples and knew exactly how terrifying the Xuantian Stairway was. The first three hundred thirty-three steps were a test of fear.
Under the effects of the array formation and the pressure from the Class 10 demonic beast, the fear in the people would increase a hundredfold, but Long Chen didn’t react at all. This caused Murin Xuan to be greatly shocked.
Murin Xuan was not the only one who was shocked, even all the other Elders in the hall were.
“Could it be that this Long Chen doesn’t fear at all?” How is that possible? "
The two terrifying Class 10 Magical Beasts coldly looked at Long Chen. One of them spoke, "The aura of our ancestor!"
“En, a human being actually received the favor of our ancestors. It seems like he’s quite extraordinary!” The other Flood Dragon replied.
The two Stage Ten demon beasts communicated with each other and used a secret technique. No one else could hear their conversation. From the outside, they didn’t seem to be moving at all.
In reality, the moment Long Chen stepped onto the stairs, they really did feel a strange fluctuation coming towards him. Long Chen didn’t intentionally block it and allowed it to invade, but it didn’t have any effect.
Long Chen had no fear in his heart. This sort of energy was something he was immune to. This was because he had experienced countless life and death situations. To him, this sort of thing was child’s play, something that frightened children.
Not only Long Chen, but even the other Dragonblood Warriors were unaffected. They only frowned for a moment as they understood that this was an invasion out of fear. Then, they continued to move forward.
“It can’t be, so it’s just a bluff!”
After the Dragon Blood Warriors stepped onto the stairs and ascended more than a hundred steps, everyone discovered that nothing had changed. They couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as someone walked towards the stairs.
However, when that person stepped onto the first step, his complexion immediately turned pale. endless fear appeared in his eyes and his body trembled non-stop as if he had seen something terrifying.
“I thought there was a problem with the Xuantian Stairway, but I’m relieved now.” Mu Qing Xuan couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw the disciple’s expression.
The disciple seemed to be struggling in an endless nightmare. He let out a furious roar, and the fear in his eyes lessened as he gritted his teeth and continued forward.
However, after walking a dozen or so steps, he was lying on the ground, trembling and unable to move. Then, he was sent flying by a ray of light.
“You’ve failed the test, you’ve lost your qualification to take the test.” Mu Qing Xuan said.
The disciple’s face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with sadness. Mu Qingxuan’s words indicated that he had no fate with the Xuan Dao Sect.
“Bro, what’s going on?” Someone helped that person up and could not help but ask about the experience.
"Ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
That person continued to move his body even after he was helped up, but he still stretched out a finger and said.
“Fuck, why didn’t you go and snatch it?” That person was furious.
“If I don’t give you the money, don’t even think about letting me tell you my secret. I have already failed the exam, so I will use my failures to exchange for some money to compensate my injured spirit. What’s wrong with that?” The disciple who had failed the test said angrily.
Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense. They were all people sentenced to death. It was extremely pitiful. Giving them some money to make up for it could be considered a form of comfort.
“Alright, I’ll give you ten thousand then. Speak.” The rich man still had some and threw ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones to the man.
“I’ll tell whoever pays, I can’t share the secret with others!” The man rolled his eyes and said shrewdly.
“You’re courting death. Do you believe that everyone will smack you to death?!” Everyone was furious.
That person’s heart trembled. He knew that he had provoked the wrath of the crowd, and was truly afraid of being beaten up. He could only open his mouth and say, “There is an augmented formation on the stairs. It is very scary.”
"F * ck, are you asking for a beating?" The crowd was furious. What kind of answer was that? Not a single one was worth it. He actually took ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones. A few of the more impatient ones were about to teach this fellow a lesson.
“Don’t hit, don’t hit, it’s true, it’s really scary!” The person hurriedly shouted.
“You don’t need to make things difficult for him. It should be a formation that fears invasion, directed straight at the soul. Everyone’s concept of fear is different, so it’s impossible to explain it clearly.” Zhao Ziyan spoke.
Hearing Zhao Ziyan’s words, everyone let go of that person. One of them said: “But Long Chen and the others … …”
“Maybe they are fearless people.” Zhao Ziyan looked at the back figure of her carefree and unrestrained figure as she stood on the stairs. She couldn’t help but sigh with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Earlier, when he was together with senior brother Long Chen, senior brother Long Chen said that the reason why experts were powerful was because he had the determination to become stronger.
“One must know why one can become strong, find the direction of one’s hard work, and make them believe in one’s own strength. Once one has found a faith, one can thoroughly strengthen one’s dao heart and become fearless,” a man said.
“It’s all useless bullsh * t. To be frank, it’s just a cowardly question. Don’t come if you’re afraid of death!” someone suddenly said coldly.
That person could not help but be furious. Just as he was about to retort, he realized that the one who spoke was the Western Desert’s Heaven Chosen, Yan Mo Chen.
“A broken staircase and even coming up with those useless theories. There must be something wrong with his head. Warriors of the Western Desert, let’s go. Let them see, in front of absolute strength, everything is bullshit!”
Yan Mo Chen sneered as he led the experts from the Western Desert up the stairs. However, when Yan Mo Chen stepped onto the stairs, his body was obviously pushed back. Although it was a good cover, everyone could see the change in his expression.
However, Yan Mo Chen was indeed very strong. He quickly adapted to his current state and continued to walk forward. However, the people behind him were clearly much weaker.
Even though they were mentally prepared, their expressions still greatly changed. Many of them had pale faces and it was clear that they were struggling with great difficulty. However, after adapting, they quickly continued to walk forward.
After the experts from the Western Desert moved, Zhao Ziyan also followed. The moment Zhao Ziyan moved, Wei Changhai also followed. Zhao Ziyan frowned and a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes. She quickened her pace.
Han Yunshan began to climb. Seeing that all the experts had moved out, the others also joined in. However, many people felt extremely uncomfortable the moment they stepped onto the stairs. Some people were unable to move a few steps and were eliminated.
Only when they truly stepped on the stairs did they understand how terrifying the Mysterious Sky Stairway was. It was as if every step they took was infinitely close to death.
He felt like he was in front of a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. He felt like he was walking step by step into the embrace of death, and as soon as he moved a little bit closer, death’s scythe would mercilessly slash down.
Although he was clearly warning himself that it was fake, that it was an illusion, and that it was merely a test, the fear that came from the depths of his soul was simply unstoppable.
The disciples continued to step up the stairs and some of them were bounced back. Those who were shot out were completely eliminated and many of them actually started to wail.
However, no one mocked them. Even if they were disciples who were walking on the stairs, they didn’t know how long they could last because they discovered with horror that as they advanced, the formation became stronger and the fear became stronger.
Many of the warriors’ legs were already shaking, and some were no longer able to control themselves. However, as they looked ahead, they couldn’t help but grit their teeth and persevere.
"There was actually a little accident. Perhaps this way, the number of disciples that managed to pass would increase a little." Mu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen and the others as a smile flashed across her face.
Success was not difficult. It usually depended on whether or not there were people who had succeeded in front of them. If someone succeeded, they would give others more confidence, making it easier for them to succeed.
"Three hundred steps!"
When Long Chen reached the 300th step, all the Elders of the Elder Hall cast their eyes on Long Chen. Behind Long Chen, the warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion were still at the 290th-step, not falling at all.
"Three hundred thirty-fourth step!"
When Long Chen stepped onto the 334th step, the entire Elder’s Courtyard suddenly turned deathly silent.
Chapter 1008 - News from the Heavenly Wood Palace
ta *
With a light sound, when Long Chen stepped on the 334th step, space seemed to distort and time seemed to slow down. ,
In that instant, everything became so far away, so ethereal. Every step seemed like an unreachable river.
"Is this a test of tenacity?"
A faint smile appeared on Long Chen’s lips. He knew the meaning of the next test. This was because he had already done this when he was in the Eastern Wasteland.
Long Chen also believed that everyone had experienced that sort of test, but compared to the Netherworld Udumbara Flower back then, this test was countless times stronger.
Especially after stepping on the 334th step, because the distance between them was getting closer and closer, they did not dare to advance. This was a test of mental strength and willpower.
However, this was still not enough for Long Chen. Compared to Long Chen’s goal, the length of this flight of stairs was simply too small.
"What?" No reaction at all? "
In the elder’s courtyard, the group of elders were all shocked when they saw that Long Chen did not stop in the slightest. Even his pace did not change in the slightest.
“This Long Chen’s mind is frighteningly firm and he is not the slightest bit disturbed by anything!” A trace of admiration appeared in the head’s eyes.
because the second stage is a test of the human will,
Under the pressure of formations and magical beasts, a person’s confidence could easily be shaken.
"It really is terrifying. In the past, even the most powerful Chosen would need the space of a few breaths to adapt to it before they can continue moving forward," someone said with a sigh.
“The battle of heaven’s pride level experts, red flowers and green leaves, it’s all in the right. Who’s the red flower and who’s the green leaf? I’m afraid there will be many variables,” the dean said with a smile as he watched Long Chen’s figure.
"Academy Master, do you mean that Long Chen can …" An elder could not help but probe.
“It’s too early to say anything. It’s best to just watch quietly,” the dean said.
Everyone fell silent. They understood the meaning behind the Academy Master’s words, but was that possible? No matter how big the green leaves were, they would never blossom.
… ….
Long Chen kept walking forward without changing his pace. But after Tang Wan’er, Gu Yang, and the others behind him reached the 334th step, their bodies trembled and their expressions changed slightly.
“Big brother Gu Yang, I’ve entrusted myself to you. You have to be kind to me, and once I pass this test, I will definitely return the favor. It’s a pity that this little brother was given birth as a man, otherwise, I would definitely repay you with my body …” Guo Ran was drenched in sweat as he tightly held onto Gu Yang’s big hand, speaking with an expression of his own.
“Guo Ran, if you continue to be so disgusting, I’ll throw you down!” Tang Wan’er angrily said. This person was too disgusting.
Guo Ran’s physique was the weakest, no, it should be said that he was lacking in almost all aspects. Now that he had come here with everyone, it was already his limit.
"Relax, you can go without worry!"
"Pa!"
When Gu Yang’s palm struck the back of Guo Ran’s head, Guo Ran immediately fainted and Gu Yang continued moving with his back facing Guo Ran.
“Cheating, cheating, serious cheating, I’m going to complain!”
Seeing that Gu Yang was actually using such a method to lead his men, many people in the crowd started to loudly protest.
"This does not violate the rules. If you feel that this is cheating, you can cheat as well. However, let me tell you this: if you drag one person up, the difficulty level will double." Mu Qing Xuan said.
Once Mu Qing Xuan said this, no one called out, so they could only silently continue forward.
Long Chen walked alone at the front of the staircase. Originally, Tang Wan’er and the others were ten steps away from Long Chen, but now they were thirty steps away.
It was because at this stage, they felt the pressure. They were no longer as relaxed as before, and their speed slightly slowed down.
By the time Long Chen reached the 666th step, Tang Wan’er and the others had already fallen fifty steps behind. Behind the Dragon Blood Warrior were the heaven’s pride level experts of the third realm.
This was because this final test had nothing to do with talent or battle prowess. Their advantages were all gone, and their weaknesses were instead all exposed.
Yan Mo Chen, Han Yun Shan, and Wei Changhai’s faces turned green with anger. They had originally wanted to arrive late and overtake Long Chen to prove themselves.
But who would have thought that not even ordinary Dragonblood Warriors would be able to catch up to them? They could only watch as their buttocks continued to move forward.
Many of the disciples who had already been eliminated sat listlessly below, looking up at those who were still desperately climbing upwards.
On the Sky Profound Stairway, Long Chen’s figure was too obvious. He walked further and further away, and his speed was consistent.
"Pa!"
Long Chen’s foot landed on the 6667th step with a soft sound. Immediately afterwards, Long Chen lifted his other foot and naturally stepped on the 667th step.
"This is absolutely impossible!"
In the Elder’s Courtyard, the group of Elders were on the verge of going crazy.
"The third stage tests the eruption of negative emotions. How can it be so easy to fight yourself?" No one could believe it.
"Does he not have negative emotions?" Some elders suggested this bold idea.
"How is this possible? “Don’t just accept people, even gods have negative emotions!” Someone directly overthrew this idea.
“No, I feel like I’m going to go crazy. This is completely illogical!”
All of the elders in the elders’ courtyard were unable to understand this action. Only a few elders sank into contemplation.
Those elders who were deep in thought were all the people who heard the old ancestor’s decree that day. They were all thinking about one question, and only this kind of monster had the qualifications to attract the old ancestor’s attention.
However, those elders who did not know about this matter were unable to understand. This had already surpassed their understanding.
“Courtyard Master, since you’re so knowledgeable, why don’t you explain it to me?” No one could figure out why, so they couldn’t help but ask the Courtyard Master for advice.
“This kind of situation has never occurred before, and I can’t explain it either. However, I’ve heard that in the Immortal Ancient Era, there was a most abnormal trial …” The dean spoke.
“The most abnormal trial in the Immortal Ancient Era. Could it be that you’re talking about …”
"Mm. Legend has it that in the Immortal Ancient Era, there was an extremely abnormal trial named ‘The Battle of the True Gods’. The success rate was less than one in a million.
Some of the people present might not have heard of it, but in reality, the target of the challenge is the challenger himself. As for the abnormal thing is, the challenger copied from the formation is three times more powerful than the original body, and has all of my techniques and experience. The dean said.
“What’s the difference with killing yourself?” Everyone could not help but be shocked.
It was impossible for him to defeat an enemy. Wasn’t that an idiot? Was it fun for him to kill him?
“Basically, there’s no difference. Maybe there are too many heaven’s pride level experts in the Immortal Ancient Era. If we use this method, we might kill a group of people who wasted food.”
"However, it is rumored that once someone defeats another powerful person, their soul will obtain a form of ascension and will never be suppressed by negative emotions. Their dao heart is extremely firm and will not be affected by any interference."
"Could it be that Long Chen …"
“That shouldn’t be possible. Even if you want to court death, you need to have a place to seek death to cooperate. How can there be such a trial right now?”
“You can’t even say that. Did you forget the ancient path?” Maybe Long Chen is on the road to ancient times … "
… ….
Long Chen walked forward and used his mind to feel it. He felt fatigue, negative emotions, despair, laziness, and even some voices urging him to give up.
However, these fluctuations of emotions were extremely insignificant. If it wasn’t for Long Chen carefully sensing them, he wouldn’t have been able to detect them at all. The third stage was actually not as powerful as the first two stages.
Long Chen couldn’t help but smile. He understood the true meaning of the Xuantian Stairway. Sometimes, the destruction of the mind was even more terrifying than the suppression.
Long Chen wasn’t worried about the Dragonblood Warriors, because each and every one of them had experienced countless life and death battles and had brushed shoulders with death countless times. This sort of trial wouldn’t cause too much trouble for the Dragonblood Warriors.
On the other hand, the powerhouses of the other realms would be in trouble, because if they moved too slowly, they would become tofu frogs in the water, and their momentum would be worn down bit by bit. Especially for this last part, when negative emotions broke out and one could not see any hope.
"Pa!"
Long Chen finally stepped onto the 999th step. He stood in front of Mu Qing Xuan and also saw the scenery here. This was an extremely spacious plaza.
An enormous gate tower stood in front of them. It was ancient and desolate, and it emitted a grand and majestic aura. The ancient charm overflowed, causing people to be astonished.
When Long Chen looked at it, it was as if he could see the trajectory of the universe and the most profound truths of heaven and earth. However, when he carefully savored it, he realized that he had not obtained anything.
“Congratulations junior brother on passing. Junior brother Long Chen’s strength is truly admirable to Qing Xuan.” Mu Qing Xuan smiled at Long Chen.
Seeing Long Chen walk all the way up, it was like he was walking on ordinary steps. Although Mu Qingxuan couldn’t understand it, she believed that Long Chen must have passed with his strength alone, because in front of the Xuantian Sect’s great array and the two terrifying Tenth Order demon beasts, no one could cheat.
“I was merely lucky. I don’t dare to accept such praise from senior sister …” Long Chen hastily replied humbly.
"Oh right, senior sister Qing Xuan, have you heard of the location of the Heavenly Wood Divine Palace?"
Murin Xuan smiled and said, "Of course I’ve heard of it. Sky Wood Divine Palace is a famous existence in Central State.
If it wasn’t for this annoying fellow, perhaps I would already be a disciple of the Heavenly Wood Divine Palace. "
Long Chen couldn’t help but rejoice as a soft figure appeared in his mind. He couldn’t help but feel his heart burn with passion.
"Is the Heavenly Wood Divine Palace far away from the Xuantian Sect?" Long Chen hastily asked.
“It’s not too far away. Don’t tell me you want to start a fight, but let me tell you, the Heavenly Wood Divine Palace only accepts wood attribute disciples. They won’t take anything else, okay?” Mu Qingxuan joked.
“Senior is joking. In fact, I have a close female friend in the Heavenly Wood Divine Palace who has been separated for a long time. I miss her very much.” Thinking about Chu Yao, Long Chen felt his heart ache. He didn’t know how she had lived these past few years.
"You sure are affectionate. However, I think you should first think of a way to stay in the Xuantian Sect before thinking of anything else." Mu Qing Xuan advised.
“Thank you for senior’s reminder. I understand.” Long Chen cupped his hands in thanks. The news of the Heavenly Wood Divine Palace had lifted Long Chen’s spirits by quite a bit.
Yao’er, wait for me. I will come looking for you soon.
Chapter 1009 Rejected Beauty
As Long Chen reached the top, countless people saw hope and desperately climbed up. However, many people were unable to hold on and were sent flying back when they reached the second stage. .
At every moment, there were people being tossed out of the ring. On the road, there were less than 300,000 people persisting. Most of them were in the middle stages of their journey.
As for the Dragonblood Warriors, they had already reached the 800th step. However, their speed was clearly much slower, and they didn’t slow down at all.
“Actually, there’s no need to go all out like that. As long as we keep moving forward, the slower our speed is, the less energy we’ll have!” Mu Qing Xuan shook her head slightly as she looked at the Dragon Blood Warriors that were trying their best to climb the Sky Stairway.
Long Chen smiled. "They know!"
“You know, yet you’re still going all out like this?” Mu Qing Xuan was puzzled.
Long Chen said, "They are not fighting with the Xuantian Stairway, but with themselves. The reason they are advancing so fast is to push themselves to the limit.
Senior Sister Qingxuan, you don’t understand us. Our aptitudes are ordinary, and our backgrounds are even worse. To be able to stand on this stage today, we have to put in a lot of effort and sweat.
In fact, every day, we try our best not to let go of any opportunities to improve ourselves. Especially in an examination where there is no danger to our life, we push ourselves to the limit and constantly break through the limit.
This is the only way to increase our chances of survival. There is a huge difference between us and the other experts!
Mu Qing Xuan’s heart trembled slightly when she heard this. Although Long Chen said it in a relaxed manner, Mu Qing Xuan could tell from his words that the Dragonblood Legion had paid a heavy price for their actions.
"You are true warriors." Mu Qing Xuan praised.
"The key is that we have no choice. In order to survive, we can only become stronger." Long Chen said with a wry smile.
The soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion refused to stop even a single step. They climbed with all of their strength. They felt exhausted, and that was their intention.
The more exhausted they were, the more potential they could unleash. They were using the powerful negative energy to motivate themselves.
Behind the Dragon Blood Legion, Yan Mo Chen, Wei Changhai, and Han Yunshan were chasing after them with all their might.
They were originally only fifty or so steps away, but now that they were more than a hundred steps away, they could only gnash their teeth in anger.
The three of them were all fifth grade heaven’s pride experts. Yet, they were shaken off by so many people. They chased after his butt, but were flung further and further away. This silent slap to the face was truly unbearable.
By now, the Dragonblood Warriors had already climbed up more than eight hundred steps. At a height of seven hundred steps, however, they found it increasingly difficult.
On the other hand, as Zhao Ziyan slowly passed the three of them, the distance between them had widened, making them feel even more uncomfortable.
“You really are an idiot. Do you think that your negative energy is insufficient? Carry the jealousy on your back!” Long Chen looked at the expressions on the three people’s faces and couldn’t help but sneer.
“He’s indeed a bit stupid,” Mu Qing Xuan said, somewhat speechless.
During this final period of time, the negative emotions of humans would quickly expand. The more envious and resentful they were, the more difficult it would be to advance forward. It was likely that these three guys still had not understood the mysteries of the Profound Heaven Stairway until now.
"Phew!"
A pretty figure jumped up onto the 999th step. It was Tang Wan’er. Her pretty face was currently pale and her nose was covered in sweat. Her eyes were tired and filled with excitement.
“You’ve worked hard.”
Long Chen smiled as he took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped away the sweat stains on Tang Wan’er’s forehead. Tang Wan’er couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Long Chen …"
Tang Wan’er was a bit touched. This was the first time Long Chen treated her so warmly. He even doted on her in front of so many people, causing her to feel a bit sore.
“I’ll do it myself!”
Tang Wan’er took the handkerchief and lightly wiped the sweat on her forehead. However, when she blocked Long Chen’s line of sight, she quietly wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corner of her eyes.
Perhaps I should be more gentle to her. Although Tang Wan’er’s actions were gentle, it still couldn’t escape Long Chen’s eyes. Long Chen felt deeply guilty in his heart.
Because of Tang Wan’er’s fiery personality, she had always been very tough and unyielding. She purposefully expressed her disdain towards Long Chen’s concerns.
In reality, Tang Wan’er was also a girl. She also needed to care, but she was afraid that Long Chen would see through her weakness. She purposely acted fierce like a tigress who bared her fangs and brandished her claws.
Long Chen mistook her for a strong girl. Today’s unintentional actions allowed Long Chen to see Tang Wan’er’s other side.
“Wan’er, I’m sorry. I didn’t care enough about you!”
Long Chen felt apologetic in his heart. He suddenly opened his arms and held Tang Wan’er in his arms. This action scared Tang Wan’er, causing her face to turn red.
"You’re crazy, this place… There are a lot of people who will be laughed at. "
Tang Wan’er reprimanded him as she hurriedly got out of Long Chen’s embrace. However, her pretty face was blushing while her eyes were filled with shyness. However, there was a warm smile on her face.
"Let me see who dares to laugh? I’ll 'knock out his teeth. Whoever dares to laugh i will curse him for never finding a woman in his entire life! 'Long Chen arrogantly said.
“Long Chen, it can’t be that you want to break my teeth, right? Thankfully, big sister isn’t afraid of the curse, and big sister isn’t looking for a woman!” Mu Qing Xuan smiled from the side.
“Cough cough. Senior sister, of course you won’t count!” Long Chen said with an awkward smile.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, Guo Ran was thrown to the ground, followed by a miserable scream as he crawled up from the ground.
“You’re killing me!” Gu Yang sweated profusely. It was as if he had just been fished out of a pond. The stone underneath his feet was completely drenched, and even Guo Ran was exhausted.
“Brother’s kindness is great, your little brother has formed a circle of grass …”
“Come on, why don’t you pour me a cup of water first. There’s no point in trying to talk.” Gu Yang sat on the ground with a tired expression.
Guo Ran hurriedly poured some tea for himself. If it wasn’t for Gu Yang, he wouldn’t have been able to make it even if he died of exhaustion and would have had to repay the favor.
At this time, the group of Dragon Blood Warriors came up one by one. All of them looked exhausted, but their eyes were filled with a strong sense of pride.
Looking at the entire Xuantian Stairway, they were the first ones up. It was an honor to leave those heaven’s pride experts far behind.
Once they stepped on this step, they would have a Xuan Tian disciple. In other words, they had a place in the Central Region.
As the Dragonblood Warriors reached their peak, six hours later, Zhao Ziyan also came up. However, Zhao Ziyan was clearly not that tired, and she looked very relaxed as well.
"Congratulations, we are now in the same sect, please take care of me!" Seeing Zhao Ziyan arrive, Long Chen greeted her.
"Brother Long is too modest, he should be the one taking care of little sister. I wonder if the Dragon Blood Legion will recruit more people, I wonder if they have the qualifications to join?" Zhao Ziyan smiled.
“This …” Long Chen was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Zhao Ziyan to ask this question.
The Dragon Blood Legion wasn’t a place that just anyone could enter. This question made Long Chen a bit embarrassed. To refuse it so recklessly was too embarrassing.
“I was just joking. Brother Long, don’t take it too seriously. I’m a bit tired, so I’m going to rest for a while.” Zhao Ziyan smiled and said her farewells before leaving to find a place to rest.
After Zhao Ziyan left, Tang Wan’er lightly pulled Long Chen and said, “This sister is angry!”
“Don’t spout nonsense. Why didn’t I see it?” Long Chen said.
“I’m a woman, and based on a woman’s intuition …” Tang Wan’er said with certainty.
Seeing Long Chen ignore her, Tang Wan’er asked again, “With a beautiful woman joining, why didn’t you agree? Don’t you like beautiful women the most?”
"Yeah, yeah …" Guo Ran joined in the fun from the side and immediately covered his mouth with his hand when Long Chen glared at him.
“Our Dragonblood Legion is a whole entity, and we are all close friends. It’s not just those with good cultivation or those with high talent that can come in if they look beautiful.”
The reason why we are strong is because we are united enough to trust each other. If an unfamiliar person were to join, it would bring danger to the entire army. How can I allow others to join so easily? " Long Chen whispered.
Seeing Long Chen’s serious expression, Tang Wan’er immediately fell silent. Guo Ran quickly shut his mouth as well. They understood Long Chen’s meaning.
Although Tang Wan’er had been joking before, she was actually teasing Long Chen on purpose. It was just that she didn’t think as much as Long Chen. Long Chen couldn’t just pick up girls for himself and leave the safety of the entire Dragon Blood Legion in the lurch.
Two hours later, Han Yunshan and the others also arrived. However, their expressions were extremely ugly. They were panting heavily and looked extremely miserable. They did not dare to erupt with a stomach full of fire.
Because of Long Chen’s history, their hearts were filled with jealousy and hatred, which resulted in their path becoming more and more difficult. They had to spend even more time and energy before they could finally make it.
As time passed, more and more disciples climbed up. Some of them relaxed and fainted.
As time passed, more and more people climbed up, but even more people had already been eliminated, because on the Profound Sky Stairway, once one laid still, they would be ejected out.
There were only 30,000 people that succeeded, but there were over 400,000 that were eliminated. As for many others, they were still persisting on.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, a huge hourglass appeared on the stairs. Mu Qing Xuan said in a clear voice, "There are only three days left. Those who are still on the stairs need to hurry!"
When they saw the huge hourglass, many people’s faces changed. Due to their limited abilities, they could only slow down. But now that the hourglass was out, the countdown began. The pressure on them became even greater!
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The moment the hourglass appeared, many disciples immediately gave up as they laid on the ground and were ejected out of the Profound Heaven Stairway.
This hourglass instantly shattered the confidence of many people. They felt that there was no hope, that there was no point in continuing to work hard.
One figure after another was ejected. Currently, there were only a few hundred thousand people still persevering on the Xuantian Stairway.
Most of these 100,000 people were at around the 800th step. There was only a small portion of the 700th step, and there were even a few that had to struggle through the 600s, unwilling to give up.
“Idiot, your elder has already given up on the 700 steps. They’re still holding on like idiots. There’s no hope at all!” Some people couldn’t help but mock him.
As long as the result had not appeared, the opportunity would always be in his hands. Even if it was just an illusory ray of light, it would still be an opportunity, and not giving it up was in itself a type of rare and precious spirit.
“Time’s up.”
When the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass, Mu Qing Xuan spoke.
Chapter 1010 - Fierce Hand-to-hand Suppression
As Mu Qing Xuan’s voice faded, the eyes of many of those who were still persisting revealed a tinge of dejection. Those who had already given up, had a taunting smile on their faces. ,
“Mission accomplished, let’s go!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The two huge silhouettes tore apart the space and disappeared from the eyes of the crowd. The terrifying pressure instantly vanished.
Everyone could not help but relax, as if the giant rock that weighed down on them was taken away. They even felt as if the entire world had become clear again.
After the two Class 10 Magical Beasts had left, Mu Qingxuan looked at the disciples who were sitting on the stairs and had failed their examination. A smile appeared on Mu Qing Xuan’s face:
"Congratulations to all of you. According to the rules, disciples who stay on the Mysterious Sky Stairway and count up to five hundred steps are considered to have passed."
"What?"
Everyone was greatly shocked. They did not dare to believe their own ears, especially those who endured past the 700th stage. In the end, they still gave up on their disciples and couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.
And when they stopped at the Profound Sky Stairway, they were over ten thousand disciples. They could not help but shed tears, and some of them even started to cry and kiss on the stairs.
At this time, more than 90,000 disciples had successfully passed the trial, but there were more than 10,000 people. Even though they knew it was hopeless, they were still unwilling to give up.
"That’s not fair. Why didn’t you say that before? “You guys are purposely trying to cheat me!”
Some people could not help but roar in anger. Those disciples who had failed their examinations instantly exploded. They felt that they had been deceived.
Especially those with extremely high talent, the rank 4 Skywalkers, were even more arrogant. Some people even cursed, clamoring that they would cheat and take the exam again.
"Everyone, quiet down…" Murin Xuan coldly shouted, but she had no way of controlling such a chaotic situation.
“Unfair! There’s a conspiracy! You didn’t make the rules clear in advance, so you must reassess them!”
“That’s right, we must re-evaluate them and return their favor. You must have cheated. Otherwise, how could those Eastern Wasteland dogs climb up there so easily?” Suddenly, someone shouted.
“That’s right, that’s right. This cheat is too obvious. The Eastern Wasteland dog has cheated. It must be reevaluated and give us an explanation!”
Following countless shouts, the disciples that were eliminated began to rage. The scene instantly went out of control, and a hint of anxiety appeared on Mu Qingxuan’s face.
… ….
In the elder’s courtyard, the group of elders looked at the chaotic scene and their faces couldn’t help but sink. This year’s disciples, how could they be so darned?
“Courtyard Master, send two people to suppress them. Mu Qing Xuan is still young after all, and she can’t deal with such a chaotic situation.” An elder said.
“No need. Young people need opportunities to gain experience. Qing Xuan is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted child. She has a stable personality, but she lacks courage and needs to be trained. A group of children can’t do much.” The dean smiled.
The crowd did not say anything after hearing the Academy Master’s words. They just quietly watched the scene in the air. The scene on the screen was already in chaos.
"Charge, despicable and shameless Eastern Wasteland dog. We can also cheat to obtain the identity of a Xuantian disciple!"
Suddenly, someone shouted. It was none other than Xie Wei, who had been slapped by Long Chen. At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he shouted in a bewitching manner.
From start to finish, Long Chen had been as relaxed as someone shopping in the exam, making others suspect that he’d cheated.
Furthermore, it was not only Long Chen, even all of the Dragon Bloodline Warriors had easily passed. They had even lagged behind a fifth grade Heavenbreaker. Under the loud cheers of some people, they became more and more convinced that the people of the Eastern Wastelands had cheated.
At this moment, Xie Wei shouted loudly and was the first to rush up the stairs. At this moment, the grand formation had closed, the pressure from the demonic beasts had disappeared, and they rushed up the stairs like a tide.
"You all … Stop, or. “I won’t be polite!” Mu Qingxuan was shocked and angry, but facing this wave of violent disciples, she was somewhat helpless.
"If you have the guts, then just kill us all. You are only allowed to open the back door for the Eastern Wasteland dogs, and you don’t allow us to refute? “We want to be fair!” Xie Wei sneered as he rushed over with his men.
"You … “You …” Mu Qingxuan was so angry that her face turned deathly white. Her jade-like hands formed a seal, but she didn’t launch an attack for a long time.
"Let me do it!"
Long Chen shook his head slightly and slowly pointed a finger. A bolt of lightning shot out towards Xie Wei who was at the forefront of the group.
Puff.
Xie Wei hadn’t expected that Long Chen would dare to launch an attack. It was already too late for him to use his weapon to block. He hastily used his Fate Runes to form a screen of light, but the bolt of lightning pierced through him in an instant and his entire body exploded into a mist of blood.
To be able to kill a fourth-grade Skywalker in an instant in front of everyone, everyone was shocked.
"Bastard, you dare to kill someone! Kill us all if you dare!"
Puff.
A person screamed out in the crowd, but before he could finish, he was struck by a bolt of lightning. He was instantly crushed into fine powder, his soul and spirit were annihilated, and not even his corpse remained.
The fact that Long Chen had killed two people in a row had scared everyone, even Murin was frightened. Even she didn’t have the right to kill anyone.
"Kill all those who cursed just now!" Long Chen said coldly.
"Alright, boss. I was waiting for you to say that!"
Chi chi chi chi …
The giant golden crossbows in Guo Ran’s hands shot out golden arrows one after another. They flew into the crowd like a bolt of golden lightning. After every hit, there were people among the crowd who immediately let out miserable shrieks and their bodies exploded.
"Stop!" Mu Qingxuan cried out.
However, Guo Ran didn’t listen to her at all. The giant crossbow in his hand continued to move as arrows were shot out one after another. The crowd continued to scream miserably.
The originally aggressive crowd instantly fell back in panic. Within the crowd, some people exploded without being heard. Fresh blood permeated the air, scaring that group of people so much that their expressions changed.
“Boss, there’s a total of fifty-seven people who’ve cursed and killed them all!” Guo Ran said as he put away the giant golden crossbow.
A deathly silence fell over the entire audience. Everyone looked at the expressionless Long Chen and the complacent Guo Ran with astonished expressions. None of them were able to utter a single word.
Long Chen looked at the disciples who had been shocked by Guo Ran’s godly shooting technique and coldly said, “If anyone still doubts the strength of my Eastern Wasteland disciple, please enlighten me.”
"Long Chen, you … How can you do this to a fellow disciple? "This is too much." Yan Mo Chen said angrily.
"Idiot, who said they are from the same sect? They are already eliminated, and are not Xuantian Sect disciples at all, how can they be considered to be from the same sect? " Long Chen sneered.
"Then… They are also disciples of a branch sect, how can you be ruthless? " Han Yunshan also stepped forward.
"Exactly, regardless of whether he is a disciple of a sub-school or not, that is still a human life. How can you not have any compassion and kill him just like that?" Wei Changhai also said.
It was obvious that the three of them were standing together against Long Chen. At this time, the eliminated disciples that were forced to retreat couldn’t help but become arrogant when they saw that the three of them were speaking up for them.
“That’s right, the Eastern Wasteland dog …”
Puff.
Someone who had just spoken was killed by Guo Ran in an instant. Guo Ran’s giant crossbow was constantly increasing its power. It was impossible to defend against it at such a close distance.
"All of you, continue!"
Guo Ran pointed his giant crossbow at the crowd and lazily said. They couldn’t help but feel their scalps go numb when being pointed at by such a terrifying giant crossbow.
Although they had seen Guo Ran fire many times, they were shocked to discover that they couldn’t see the arrows at all. They could only vaguely see a golden light, and then someone was killed. It was too fast, they couldn’t defend against it at all.
At this moment, Guo Ran was pointing with his giant crossbow, looking at the puddles of blood on the ground. His face was pale and he didn’t even dare to make a sound.
"Long Chen, you allowed your subordinates to kill people, you …" Yan Mo Chen was furious.
"Don’t force me, I don’t have the time to play this game with you. The laws of the country, the family rules, and the sect rules.
They had already been eliminated, barging into the exam grounds, breaking the exam rules, disregarding the prestige of the sect, even if all of them were killed, it would still be understandable.
If you say they’re sect disciples, then they should be killed even more. Sect disciples ignore the rules of the sect, destroy their foundation, discriminate against regions, provoke internal strife within the sect, and attempt to split the sect. Their intentions are evil, and their hearts can be destroyed.
"You should be glad that I promised my soulmate that I would do my best to control my temper. If it were me from one year ago, you would already be on the way to reincarnation," Long Chen said coldly.
"You … “You are forcing your way through!” Yan Mo Chen couldn’t find the words to refute Long Chen. In terms of eloquence, even ten of him wouldn’t be a match for Long Chen.
“Don’t play this childish game with me, because I don’t have the time to mess around with such a boring thing. Don’t force me to lose my patience and go kill you!” Long Chen coldly looked at the three people with killing intent in his eyes.
In that instant, the space around them seemed to freeze. The three of them were enveloped by a terrifying killing intent, and the hairs on their bodies all stood on end.
Not to mention the three of them, even the nearby Mu Qing Xuan had been affected. She had never encountered such a terrifying killing intent before.
Long Chen was truly angry. Although he had promised Meng Qi that he would try his best not to cause trouble and restrain his temper a bit, that didn’t mean he would just swallow his anger.
The only thing he could do was not take the initiative to cause trouble. However, if someone wanted to bully him, it would be intolerable.
Long Chen was giving them an ultimatum. If the three of them didn’t appreciate his kindness and caused trouble for him, delaying his development, Long Chen wouldn’t mind finding an excuse to kill the three of them.
Long Chen was furious, and the entire audience was silent. This was because everyone was shrouded in a terrifying killing intent and did not dare to move, as if a death god’s blade was resting on their necks.
“Long Chen, you’re a disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect, yet you dare to randomly kill innocent people. Just who gave you the right to do so?” Suddenly, a cold shout was heard. The space twisted, and two figures appeared in the sky.
The two of them wore long black robes and carried long chains in their hands. Around their waists hung a jade token with the word "Enforcer" written on it.
When he clearly saw the face of one of them, Long Chen’s eyes narrowed because it was a familiar face.
"Long time no see, Lu Minghan. Seeing that your head is so tightly sewn together, I feel at ease." Long Chen said with a smile.
