Chapter 1176 - Princess
Long Chen was fighting with all his might against the Primordial Spirit Transformation level expert of the Blood Slaughter Temple when he suddenly saw a rainbow clothed girl standing in the air. Her colorful clothes fluttered, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. She gave off a fresh and refined feeling.
The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyebrows and cherry lips were full of beauties. However, her lips were a bit thin, and they were slightly upturned. It was clear that she was a very assertive woman.
Furthermore, she exuded an innate aura of nobility and pride. An ancient looking long sword hung by her waist, exuding an imposing aura. She was impressively a late stage Forging stage expert.
Damn, after waiting for so long, someone finally came. Long Chen was overjoyed as he shouted, "Sister, come quickly. I’ve helped your Grand Xia make a great contribution and found the base of the Blood Slaughter Temple.
“You know, for this foothold, I’ve been following them with all my might since thirty years ago. I’ve worked so hard and worked so hard to finally get back at you. Girl, hurry up and make a move and capture this shameless old fogey.”
The reason why Long Chen dared to make a move in the imperial capital of the Grand Xia was because before he came and drank with Qi Hao, he learned many things about the Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia. Furthermore, his grudge with the Blood Slaughter Hall was known by the people of the Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia.
Therefore, Long Chen clearly knew that there might be a Primordial Spirit Transformationlevel powerhouse, so he wasn’t afraid. He wouldn’t run away even if he couldn’t beat them. As long as the whole street was running away, he didn’t believe that the Ancient Grand Xia would just sit there and watch.
Looking at that woman’s attire, temperament, and tone of voice, one could tell that she was definitely someone from the Imperial Family. They couldn’t help but ask for help.
“Who’s your sister? Don’t call me that. I’m Xia Youluo, the 17th princess of the Grand Xia Empire.” The girl frowned as she spoke with displeasure. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with how Long Chen addressed her.
“Don’t worry about it anymore, big sis Princess, hurry up and make your move. I can’t take it anymore, do you want me, a person who did meritorious deeds for the Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia, to die miserably under the hands of the Blood Slaughter Temple’s scoundrel?”
It doesn’t matter if I die, but where is the justice of Ancient Grand Xia? Where is the prestige of Grand Xia’s royal clan? Didn’t that mean that my death would become a stain that the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia would never be able to wash off? " Long Chen loudly shouted as he dodged the attack of the Blood Slaughter Hall’s master.
“You …” “Alright, we’ll punish your insolence after we deal with him.” Princess Xia Youluo coldly snorted as she formed a seal.
"Boom!"
An explosive sound rang out as the void exploded. Boundless pressure radiated outwards, causing the sky to rumble and the ground to explode. This caused the expressions of countless experts to change.
“This is …” “Tier 8 Skywalker’s aura!” Someone exclaimed.
“As soon as you hear this friend, you must be from a foreign land. Our Empire’s 17th Princess is a martial arts genius, a Great Eighth Grade Skywalker. She has already awakened completely at the age of 17.”
Right now, her cultivation base has reached the eighth level of Forging Platform, and she possesses boundless battle prowess and is extremely famous. There’s almost no one in the entire Grand Xia that doesn’t know about her. " A local warrior called out with a face full of pride.
"Buzz!"
At this time, the heaven and earth began to resonate, and divine sounds rumbled and exploded. The void trembled, and endless amounts of heaven and earth power surged out. A sea of symbols began to form behind Xia Youluo.
At the same time, eight resplendent runes, shaped like eight stars in an octagonal shape, appeared behind her back. At the same time, eight resplendent runes, shaped like eight stars in an octagonal form, slowly revolved behind her.
"Oh my god, this is the unique phenomenon of an eighth-grade Heavenwalker — Eight Stars Illumination." Someone cried out in alarm with a look of shock on his face.
Although many people had heard that the 17th Princess of Ancient Grand Xia was an eighth-grade of the Skywalker, her combat prowess was limitless, yet no one had ever personally witnessed it. Now that they saw it, their hearts couldn’t help but to feel excited.
"Madman from the Blood Slaughter Hall, die!"
Xia Youluo let out a delicate shout as she suddenly unsheathed her sword. A rainbow shot out as she slashed it down at the Hall of Blood master.
"Boom!"
The main level expert of the Blood Slaughter Temple had no choice but to give up his pursuit of Long Chen. He hastily blocked the attack, but was sent flying by the sword, crashing into a tall tower like a meteor.
"Cutting grass in the nest, so fierce!"
Long Chen was shocked. Was this the strength of a Grade Eight Skywalker? What a terrifying attack! This kind of attack could instantly kill a seventh-grade Skywalker like Han Zhenyu.
"Bastards, go and die! God of Slaughter, protect us! Blood Slaughter, focus us all!"
The Hall of Blood’s master level expert let out a furious roar. Symbols swirled around his entire body, and a pattern actually appeared on his forehead.
It was a tiny person. Light surged around its body as it burned nonstop. At the same time, the spirit energy that was running chaotically in its body was instantly suppressed.
"Oh my god, he ignited his primordial spirit." Someone exclaimed.
It had to be known that within the Blood Slaughter Temple, there were two types of most powerful abilities. One was the ability to assassinate, and the other was the ability to escape.
The Primordial Spirit Transformation level expert of the Blood Slaughter Hall still had a sliver of hope to escape quickly after killing Long Chen. In the end, he gave up his physical body and used a secret technique to let his primordial spirit escape.
But now, he had changed his mind. He no longer wanted to run away, and now that he had to kill Xia Youluo and Long Chen in front of him to prove himself, he had to eliminate these two threats for the Blood Slaughter Temple. It had to be said that the assassins of the Blood Slaughter Temple were all very loyal to them.
"Boom!"
The main level expert of the Blood Slaughter Temple had burned his primordial spirit. The rampage of his spirit essence was forcefully suppressed and his combat strength was instantly restored. He sent out a sword attack which landed heavily on Xia Youluo’s longsword, causing an explosive sound.
Xia Youluo and the main level experts of the Blood Slaughter Temple retreated at the same time with an explosive force, actually competing in a stalemate. This caused all the main level experts in the distance to be moved, and even when Xia Youluo was fighting against the main level experts of the Blood Slaughter Temple, she did not seem to be at a disadvantage.
"The princess is powerful and domineering, raising the prestige of our Grand Xia Country." The princess is powerful and domineering, raising the authority of our Grand Xia. He raised his left hand high up, cheering for the princess of Grand Xia.
At this moment, countless experts of Grand Xia had already gathered in the distance. Among them, there were countless youths, and many of them gazed at the back view of Grand Xia with reverence and adoration.
"Hey hey hey, why are all of you not giving me any face? Do you understand? Do you not cooperate? The princess fought with all her might against that old monster? Are you not even going to shout out in support because you are citizens of Grand Xia?"
What was there to be afraid of? Afraid of losing face? Afraid of losing face? Why should I be afraid of you cultivating?
Looking at things from the front and back, are you guys still young? Where is your spirit, your blood? Then the worshippers will cry out, and the adoration will shout out, so that I may hear your cries.
Everyone shouted together with me: The princess is mighty and domineering, unleashing the might of our Grand Xia Empire. Long Chen shouted, his voice shaking the vast sky.
"The princess is powerful and domineering. She is a powerful figure of our Grand Xia Empire. She has the radiance of the heavens as she slays the Blood Slaughter Old Devil!"
"The princess is powerful and domineering, raising the prestige of our Grand Xia Country." The princess is powerful and domineering, raising the authority of our Grand Xia.
"The princess is mighty and domineering, she can summon the might of our Grand Xia Empire and soar through the skies, slaying Old Devil Xue Sha!"
The first time, there were only a few hundred people shouting. The second time, there were already a few thousand people. On the third time, anyone who was close to the young would have to shout loudly.
This was because they discovered that when they cried out together with the crowd, the feeling in their hearts was released. It was a joy that could not be described with words.
However, no one dared to call out their name for fear of being looked down upon by others. They felt that they were just a toad wanting to eat the flesh of a swan.
However, under the lead of Long Chen, this shameless fellow, everyone began to shout loudly. No one would laugh at anyone. Instead, they felt that the harder someone worked, the more manly they became.
As a result, everyone’s shouts became louder and louder. Their shouts grew louder and louder, nearly covering up the sounds of the battle.
Xia Yunchong, who was in the middle of the crowd, had a strange expression on his face as he looked at those young cultivators, who were shouting with red faces and thick necks, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The usually bashful and reserved Grand Xia actually dared to shout this out right in front of the streets? This was something he had never dared to imagine.
This shout didn’t matter. In Grand Xia, countless people rushed over to watch the commotion. Because the aura of battle was absorbed by the protective array formation of the surrounding buildings, it was extremely difficult for it to travel any further. On the contrary, the cheers of the crowd caused by the crowd to cause a commotion.
Princess Xia Youluo, she never thought that she would have such a powerful rallying ability. The cheers of countless experts actually made her blood boil.
The runes around his body erupted and a strange phenomenon appeared as he attacked with all his might. However, even though the Blood Slaughter Hall’s Courtyard Master had burnt his soul, he was still exhausted. He attacked with all his strength and Xia Youluo was actually forced to retreat.
“What are you shouting for? Why aren’t you coming over to help?”
Long Chen carried the blood drinker and stood in the air to watch the show. Suddenly, he heard Xia Youluo’s soul transmission.
"Me? I can’t beat him? " Long Chen was stunned. You’re the princess of Grand Xia Empire, and there must be countless experts spying on us from the outside. If you don’t call for their help, why would you call for a rookie like me?
"If they attack, where will I hide my face? Hurry and attack, I only need your help to buy me some time, and he has forced me to be unable to use my most powerful technique. " Xia Youluo said with a soul transmission.
"How long are you going to take? Let me tell you, if I die, I will become a stain that your Ancient Kingdom of Grand Xia will never be able to wash off. " Long Chen vigilantly said.
Long Chen didn’t think that this princess was so strong that she didn’t want others to interfere in her battle. However, Long Chen didn’t want to reveal his trump card. If he didn’t reveal his trump card, then he would be courting death.
“Don’t waste your breath. You only need to delay them for a few breaths of time. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone. I was the one who requested your help.” Xia Youluo transmitted her voice.
What the hell, why did he bring them to play like this? You have all the emotional benefits, and I have to keep it a secret?
“Alright, I’ll keep it a secret.”
Long Chen only hoped to kill a heavyweight of the Blood Slaughter Hall and vent his anger. He didn’t care about anything else.
"Divine Ring — Appear! "Battle form – activate!"
Chapter 1177 - Ling Yun’s Absolute Killing Strike
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the heaven and earth shook. A four-colored divine ring opened up the heaven and earth, standing tall and upright. The divine ring circulated endlessly, releasing endless divine might in all directions. web of quality books
At the same time, four stars revolved in Long Chen’s eyes. The 108,000 life stars in his body trembled as boundless power erupted like a dragon awakening and a volcano erupted.
With Long Chen as the center, an endless wave of air washed the world. Long Chen was like a god of war, standing between the heaven and earth, looking down at the endless universe.
"What kind of cultivation technique is this?"
At this moment, beside Xia Yunchong, a white-haired old man who had his eyes closed the entire time was staring at the Divine Ring that was slowly circulating behind Long Chen’s back. Shock appeared in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, Long Chen stood in between the heavens and the earth. No matter how many methods he used, they didn’t stick together. It was unknown if he had isolated the world or if the world had isolated him.
The domineering aura within Long Chen’s bones shot straight into the clouds, as if he was dissatisfied with the restriction of the heaven and earth, as if he wanted to destroy the will of the ancient heaven. This caused the white-haired old man to be even more shocked.
Everyone looked at Long Chen in shock, as if they were looking at a monster. They had never even heard of this phenomenon, but what shocked them the most was that Long Chen’s strength did not resonate with the Heavenly Dao. In other words, he was not a Skywalker at all.
“I’ll say this first, these moves of mine are all used to scare people. You have to hurry. If I die, I’ll become a ghost and lie at your window everyday in the middle of the night.” Long Chen transmitted his voice to Xia Youluo.
Xia Youluo was also startled by Long Chen’s imposing aura. Long Chen stood in the air, blood drinker on his shoulder as the stars in his eyes surged. The godly ring on his back was like a heavenly god descending to the mortal world. That invincible aura was simply too frightening.
However, after Long Chen sent a sound transmission, the newly established image of Long Chen in her mind disappeared like smoke in thin air. How could any unrivalled expert say something so lacking in backbone?
"I know, hurry up and attack." Xia Youluo said snappily.
“The old ghosts of the Blood Slaughter Hall. For the justice of the world, for the sake of my Grand Xia Empire’s tens of thousands of citizens, for the sake of building a harmonious Central Region, for the sake of these brothers and sisters who came to watch the show.”
Long Chen gave a loud shout and the blood-drinker blade in his hand shot through the air. A bloody saber shadow pierced through the clouds, slashing down at the Master level expert of the Blood Slaughter Hall.
“What?” Wasn’t this the stance of the Splitting Heaven’s War Sect? So he is actually a disciple of the Splitting Heaven’s War Sect. "
When Long Chen made his move, countless people cried out in alarm. The Nine Styles of Sky Opening War Sect was famous throughout the world for its tyrannical power. Anyone who had seen it would be able to recognize it at a glance.
Other than the unique stance, every single one of the Nine Style Sky Splitting Fist carried an intense will capable of slicing through the heavens. It was as though the Nine Style Splitting Heaven was the stance used to contend against the Heavens. The might it exuded was extremely obvious.
Therefore, when Long Chen slashed out, countless people immediately recognized this move. At this moment, the enormous saber shadow carried an invincible will as it chopped towards the Blood Slaughter Hall’s Courtyard Master expert.
Long Chen’s battle experience was extremely experienced and his timing was also incomparably exquisite. He happened to meet Xia Youluo’s attack head on and had just used his old strength, chopping down before the new one was born.
The Hall of Blood’s Hall Primordial Spirit Transformation level expert was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This move was too despicable. He had no way to fight back, and could only use brute force to defend himself.
"Boom!"
In the end, the Primordial Spirit Transformation level expert of the Blood Slaughter Hall was sent flying by Long Chen’s saber. He crashed into another building some distance away and was bounced back by the formation, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked. They were shocked by Long Chen’s terrifying attack. Previously, when Xia Youluo had such a terrifying attack, even the hall master from the Blood Slaughter Hall was fine. However, Long Chen’s one slash had actually caused him to vomit blood and be injured, then wouldn’t that mean Long Chen was even more terrifying than Xia Youluo?
In actuality, Long Chen’s saber was only the third move of the Splitting Heaven’s Realm. It was only because he had grasped the timing cleverly that he had been able to send the Primordial Spirit Transformation expert from the Blood Slaughter Hall flying.
However, this slash was simply not enough to cause that Primordial Spirit Transformation level expert to vomit blood. He didn’t even have the qualifications to be injured.
The reason why the Hall of Blood’s Principal level expert vomited blood was completely because of Long Chen. This move was too insidious.
"Despicable brat, go to hell."
The chest of that Blood Slaughter Hall’s hall master was dyed with blood. His hair fell from his head as he charged towards Long Chen like a madman.
In fact, as an assassin, calmness was one of the essential psychological qualities. However, because the old man had burned a large amount of his primordial spirit, his mind was already in a state of chaos and he was prone to rage.
The Master level expert of the Hall of Blood roared and charged towards Long Chen like a mad yak, slashing towards him with his sword.
This strike was ordinary, not even covering the symbols, but it was even more terrifying. This was because the energy within the sword was congregating but not dispersing. It was as if a large amount of gunpowder was being gathered, ready to burst out when slashing at the enemy.
Long Chen let out a cold snort. The blood-colored long sword in his hand also stabbed at the Primordial Spirit Transformation expert. His appearance made it seem as if he was about to perish together with everyone else, giving them a fright.
"Haha, are you trying to scare this old man? This old man has killed countless people in his life and has long been tired of it. Facing Long Chen’s long saber, that Hall of Blood’s Primordial Spirit Transformation expert sneered and didn’t change the momentum of his sword.
Although Long Chen’s sabre was 10 feet long and held a great advantage, if the long sabre stabbed into the Blood Slaughter Hall’s Primordial Spirit Transformation level expert, he would still be unable to evade that person’s sword. It would inevitably lead to death for both of them.
At this moment, Xia YouLuo formed a hand seal in the air and a golden rune appeared between her eyebrows. The long sword in her hand rumbled and the sharp sword energy caused space to tremble.
There was still a bit of time left, but seeing that Long Chen was about to use a counterattack, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. Long Chen was stupid, if Long Chen died, the Ancient Grand Xia’s reputation would suffer, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Ding!"
But just as the two weapons were about to cross, Long Chen’s saber blade touched the sword of a Blood Slaughter Hall’s Primordial Spirit Transformation expert, sending out a gentle force.
The expression on the face of the Hall of Blood’s Hall Master drastically changed. He never thought that Long Chen would be able to control his strength to such a terrifying degree. He instantly transformed his violent strength into a feminine power.
The moment the tip of the blade touched his sword, a gentle force exploded and pulled his sword to the side. It did not detonate the power on his sword. At the same time, the center door opened and he couldn’t help but charge towards Long Chen.
“Idiot, who wants to die with you? Let’s go!”
"Pa!"
As Long Chen swung his sword, he ruthlessly slapped the face of the Hall Master level expert. That person immediately shot out like a shooting star.
The direction that Blood Slaughter Hall’s Academy Master level expert shot towards was even straight for Xia Youluo, who had already gathered his trump card. It was as if he was sending himself to the door.
"Ling Yun, Absolute Killing Strike!"
Just at this moment, Xia Youluo’s sword slashed down, but the sword light could not be seen. All that could be vaguely seen was a black crack in space.
Soon after, the Primordial Spirit Transformation expert of the Blood Slaughter Hall was struck by the black crack and instantly exploded into nothingness. Even his primordial spirit was instantly killed.
"What a strange power."
Long Chen could clearly see that the power of this sword strike was something Long Chen had never seen before. It was incomparably sharp and powerful. Even the King Armament in the hands of the Hall Master of the Blood Slaughter Hall to block it had shattered.
However, after Xia Youluo unleashed that sword attack, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed, but they quickly recovered. Long Chen knew that this princess had paid a huge price and was currently pretending to be fine.
“Haha, Lady Princess is powerful and domineering. I’m impressed. This one still has some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. In the future, if I have the chance, I’ll treat Lady Princess to a meal.” After Long Chen finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
"Stop, who let you go?" Xia Youluo looked at Long Chen with a trace of surprise in the depths of her eyes.
She kept feeling that something wasn’t right. Seeing that Long Chen was in a hurry to leave, she felt that something was wrong.
"That Lady Princess, could it be that you want to treat me to a meal? I appreciate your kindness. I just ate it, how about we make an appointment another day? When the time comes, let me experience the enthusiasm of Ancient Grand Xia. " Long Chen turned around and left after saying that.
This woman was not easy to get along with. Long Chen didn’t want to get into contact with her. Although Long Chen’s appearance technique was only used to deceive people, he knew from a glance that this woman was probably even more willful than Tang Wan’er.
"You made this place look like this and you want to leave with a pat on your butt? Don’t you need to give us a perfect explanation? " Seeing that Long Chen was about to leave, Xia Youluo didn’t want him to leave. She rolled her eyes and said while pointing at the ruins on the ground. She wanted to bring Long Chen back and study him.
She always felt that Long Chen was a little strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason why. Even though she killed the Primordial Spirit Transformation expert of the Blood Slaughter Hall with a single slash, she still felt particularly awkward. She first found an excuse to keep Long Chen alive.
However, she spent most of her time on cultivation and didn’t understand much about how people treated things and how people treated things. Thus, she used the princess airs that she was most proficient in to take responsibility for Long Chen.
“What’s there to explain about that? I’ve discovered the stronghold of the Blood Slaughter Hall. For the sake of Grand Xia’s honor, I risked my life and overturned them, purposely causing trouble so that you could come and capture me. Is it my fault?” Long Chen waved his hand.
"But you. You can definitely report to us, but we can handle it. " Xia You Luo argued.
"Lady Princess, are you joking? The Bloodbath Hall dared to act in front of the imperial capital of the Grand Xia? Did they not have any warning devices?
They have countless outsider members. Do you know how many bystanders and hawkers are their spies?
"By the time your people arrived, they had already run off. My method is the only correct one." Long Chen shook his head.
Long Chen refuted Xia Youluo until her ears reddened. She could not say anything about Long Chen and could not help but angrily retort, “I don’t care. Anyways, you have to come back with me. There are a lot of things I need to investigate.”
Long Chen had a speechless expression on his face. He had even used this unreasonable method. At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked over, and the one leading them was Xia Yunchong.
Chapter 1178 - The Unruly Princess
"This must be the infamous Brother Long Chen!" Xia Yunchong had no choice but to step forward. He knew his half-sister the best. If he let her down, who knew how much humiliation he would cause? He quickly stood up and cupped his fists towards Long Chen.
“I dare not claim to be famous, but you are?” Long Chen’s heart couldn’t help but tremble when he looked at the man, because he discovered that this was similarly a terrifying fellow.
Furthermore, he had two Primordial Spirit Transformation experts by his side as guards. As for the old man who had his eyes closed the whole time, although his aura was not revealed, Long Chen could feel that this old man was probably on the same level as the Xuan Master.
With such a terrifying lineup, even Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. Wasn’t this scene a little too awesome?
Xia Yunchong cupped his fist and said, "I am Grand Xia …"
“Why are you blabbering so much? He’s the eighth prince of Grand Xia Empire, Xia Yunchong. He’s my brother, hurry up and come with us.” Xia Youluo impatiently said as she saw the two greet him.
After being interrupted by Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong somewhat awkwardly said, “Cough cough, Brother Long, why don’t we go somewhere else to talk. This place is indeed not very convenient.”
"Brother Xia, I dare not refuse your invitation." Long Chen smiled. This Xia Yunchong was quite imposing. He raised his hand and raised his foot gracefully, causing people to have a favorable impression of him. It would be easier to deal with a man than a woman.
Seeing Long Chen agree to Xia Yunchong’s invitation so quickly, Xia You Luo’s face became a bit awkward. Her eyebrows were raised and she was about to explode. Long Chen really didn’t give her face before this.
"Pay attention to your appearance!" The old man, who had his eyes shut the entire time, suddenly frowned as he coldly spoke.
The old man’s identity was very ordinary. The proud and arrogant Princess Seventeen immediately didn’t dare to speak anymore. However, her small mouth choked and her eyes reddened. Her face was full of grievance and she almost cried.
"Brother Long, lets leave."
Xia Yunchong hurriedly said. At this time, a Primordial Spirit Transformation expert waved his hand, and a light shot out from a nearby building, enveloping Long Chen and the others before disappearing in front of everyone.
As soon as Long Chen and the others left, there were people who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. The other people who were watching also left, but today, besides witnessing Princess Seventeen’s charm, there was also a name that appeared in their minds — Long Chen. He was a monster that was not a Skywalker, but had monstrous combat power.
Long Chen was transported to an open garden with strange flowers and plants, filled with an overwhelming fragrance. On top of a pavilion stood four young ladies dressed in palace maid attire, all of them were Forging Stage powerhouses.
"Hurry up and prepare the dishes for the national banquet." Xia Yun Chong said to the maids.
The maids were slightly surprised, but they quickly left along with the guards who were following closely behind Xia Yunchong.
"Master, you should stay for a few drinks." Xia Yunchong said respectfully.
“I won’t join in on the fun if you young people are having a gathering.” The old man shook his head and disappeared in front of Long Chen. There was no fluctuations in space, as if he had blended into the world.
“Yea, he’s finally gone!”
After the old man left, Xia Youluo, who had been silent all this time, let out a cheer. She was like a bird in a cage that had been held in for a long time, finally releasing and gaining its freedom.
Xia Youluo, who had just regained her liveliness, immediately launched an attack on Long Chen. “Long Chen, let me ask you, why didn’t you come when I invited you? When he invited you, you agreed immediately?”
At this moment, Xia Youluo’s face was stiff and her large eyes were fixated on Long Chen. She wanted Long Chen to give her a perfect explanation.
It was obvious that Long Chen’s actions had caused her to feel uncomfortable. Now that the old man had left, she had become lawless once more.
“You Luo, stop messing around. If you continue to be like this, I’ll have to report to royal father.” Xia Yun said with a straight face.
"You … “Good or bad, you don’t care about me anymore …” You used to be different. You are both bad people, yet you dare to bully me… “Woo woo …”
What Long Chen didn’t expect was that this terrifyingly powerful expert would suddenly start crying. Long Chen was completely stupefied by what he saw. What was going on?
Seeing Long Chen blankly staring at Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong felt incredibly awkward. However, Xia Youluo had played the best game with him since childhood, often acting coquettishly with him. If there was anything, it would be Xia Yunchong helping her.
“You Luo, how old are you already? You can’t be like this …” Xia Yunchong also panicked.
"When I grow up, you don’t want me anymore. Don’t you love me anymore? royal father doesn’t love me, and mother doesn’t love me either. Now, even you hate me … I’m so sad. " Xia Youluo cried like a teardrop. Her delicate face was covered with tears, making her seem very worried.
“Well, well, I don’t hate you. Don’t cry!” Xia Yunchong patted Xia Youluo’s back with a pained expression.
"Then why are you still accusing me? And why are you still accusing me?"
“Alright, I won’t be angry at you, I won’t tell you, it’s big brother’s fault, can you stop crying?” Xia Yunchong said with a helpless expression.
"Really? “Hehe, I knew you loved me the most. Long Chen, let me ask you, why didn’t you come when I invited you? Did you immediately agree to my brother’s invitation?” There were still crystal clear tears on Xia You Luo’s face, but there was a victorious smile on it.
“You …” Xia Yunchong was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe. He was fooled again.
"Big brother, why are you so stingy? I was just asking a question, what are you staring at?" Xia Youluo said in a slightly spoiled manner.
Long Chen could tell that Princess Seventeen was a spoiled child. Long Chen couldn’t help but find it funny, but the affection between the two siblings touched Long Chen’s heart. The inner palace had a complicated relationship with father and son.
"Brother Long, this …" Xia Yunchong was also a bit helpless, but he was also a bit embarrassed.
“Oh, it’s alright. Princess Seventeen’s question isn’t hard to answer …” Long Chen said. Seeing Xia Yunchong give him a meaningful glance meant that he wanted to save some face for Xia Youluo. Otherwise, she would have fallen out with him on the spot.
“If I accept Princess Seventeen’s invitation, I’m afraid my lifespan is coming to an end. It’s because I’m afraid of death, so I don’t dare to agree to Princess Seventeen’s invitation.” Long Chen said with some difficulty.
Xia Yunchong felt helpless. He thought Long Chen didn’t understand what he meant. Xia Youluo said angrily, “Am I that kind of unruly person? Inviting you to be my guest, would I kill you?”
What the hell, you call that an invitation? Is that an interrogation? Who would be willing to go?
Long Chen shook his head: "You misunderstood my meaning. I just arrived in Grand Xia, and I heard that the seventeen princesses of Grand Xia are exceptionally beautiful, with unparalleled talent and beauty. I’ve even heard that there are many admirers here.
In order to meet the Seventeenth Princess, some admirers had lined up from Grand Xia City all the way to Grand Han.
If the princess were to be invited alone, Long Chen would not dare to come here. Else, those admirers of the princess would definitely chop me into eight pieces and burn my bones to ashes. "
Hearing Long Chen’s words, Princess Seventeen’s smile blossomed. “So that’s how it is. I’m so happy. Hehe, then tell me which city gate it is. I’ll go take a look.”
You don’t believe me, do you? Long Chen was stunned. He looked at Princess Seventeen’s expectant expression, but it didn’t seem like she was faking it.
Originally, Long Chen was just making an exaggerated apology. He had said it like it was a joke. After everyone was done with their jokes, the misunderstanding had passed just like that. However, it seemed like this little girl was taking it seriously.
“Long Chen, is there anyone from Grand Han waiting in line? I wonder if he’ll appear …” Princess Seventeen’s complexion suddenly turned a little red. Her beautiful eyes were a little blurred. Her jade-like hands lightly pinched the corners of her clothes, making her appear a little nervous and uneasy.
"Long Chen is talking about what happened a few months ago. You Luo is getting late, so you should go back as well. I have something to discuss with Brother Long." At this moment, Xia Yunchong spoke up. The 17th Princess was somewhat dissatisfied, but she was still forcibly chased away by Xia Yunchong.
“My apologies, but I’ve been ridiculed by Brother Long. This little sister of mine has the temperament of a child. Sigh, she has been spoiled too badly.” After sending off Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong said somewhat embarrassedly.
Long Chen shook his head. “Nothing funny. Actually, I envy Brother Xia. I also want to spoil my little sister and have her act as coquettishly as she wants. I’ll let her have everything.”
Long Chen thought of his own younger sister. They had only been together for a short period of time, and Long Chen had already left when she had just started to get to know him. Perhaps in her heart, there was no longer any impression of his older brother.
"Brother Long, come. The wine and dishes are ready. Take a seat."
At this moment, the dishes had already been served. All kinds of delicate and delicious dishes were placed on the table. Each and every one of them was like a handicraft. Long Chen felt a little embarrassed to take the dishes.
"Here, this is the wine from the Wine God Palace. Brother Long, please have a taste." Xia Yun Chong poured a cup of fine wine for Long Chen.
There was no wine aroma, just like clear water, but the moment it entered his mouth, the wine fragrance filled the air and a faint energy fluctuation actually rushed through his mouth directly towards the top of his head.
"This is simply divine wine, a world filled with clamor. The wine is completely silent, the heaven and earth is tranquil, and there are countless paths that can be traversed, allowing one to listen to the profound sounds of the great daos." Long Chen tasted the good wine and unknowingly revealed the feelings in his heart.
This wine was simply too magical. The brewer was an absolute master, yet he had also infused the wine with his insights into the heavenly dao. Long Chen said that it was divine wine, but he didn’t intentionally flatter the brewer, but he was speaking the truth.
"Brother Long is truly an expert in wine. He was able to comprehend the inner realm just by drinking. This perception is truly amazing. No way, tomorrow, I will definitely introduce Brother Long to the Wine God Palace. They will definitely take Brother Long as their bosom friend." Xia Yunchong said with a face full of pleasant surprise.
It had to be known that each wine in the Palace had its own name and realm, which was closely related to the brewer’s ability.
However, the people from the Wine God Palace were eccentric. Only he knew the name of the wine he brewed.
They would give the wine that they had brewed to others to taste. Only if someone told them what they understood from the wine would they give them a fine wine. Otherwise, they wouldn’t sell it for a single drop.
They were just like a group of arrogant painters. Only those who knew how to appreciate and taste the paintings would be willing to give them away.
"Come, Brother Long, let me toast you."
Xia Yunchong raised his glass and Long Chen hastily drank it all in one gulp. This kind of fine wine must be drunk from the small wine cup, or else it would be such a waste.
After drinking a few cups of wine, the two of them became more and more amorous as they chatted. It even gave rise to the feeling that they hated each other for not meeting each other earlier.
"Brother Long, I heard that you killed Han Zhen Yu?" Xia Yunchong asked.
Chapter 1179
“Mm, I’ve killed him. That kid is way too pretentious. That Brother Xia, do you really not understand the words’ did you? '” Long Chen suddenly asked.
"Haha, didn’t Brother Long look down on me? When I was at the Xiantian realm, I was thrown into the cultivation world and lived on my own for two years.
Let me tell you, in that year, I almost died three times, and no one cared about me, especially the last time, it was even more dangerous.
At that time, I was alone and without help. However, with my Xiantian realm cultivation, I managed to carve a path out of the countless evil experts.
I had killed more than a thousand Sea Cleaving Stage experts, and countless other Xiantian realm experts. In the end, he had even killed three Forging Stage experts with his life on the line.
Two years later, I returned to Grand Xia Empire and royal father looked over my trial stone. Inside, he recorded my two years of experience, and in the end, I was fortunate enough to be taken in by my current master.
He’s my master, and he’s also my dao protector. In my entire life, he’s been the most respected person in my life, and even more so than my father. " Mentioning his master, Xia Yunchong had a face full of admiration and respect.
"Dao Protector, could it be that you, Brother Xia …?" The way he left was … Invincible Dao? " Long Chen was shocked. He had heard that only people who walk the invincible path would have a dao protector.
"Brother Long, why are you so surprised? You and I practice the same dao? " This time it was Xia Yunchong’s turn to be shocked.
"Where did I go on the invincible path? I was just messing around." Long Chen ruefully smiled. He had only heard that the invincible had to remain undefeated for the rest of his life. Once he was defeated, it would be a complete waste.
Therefore, those who walked the invincible path would inevitably have a supreme expert guarding them. They couldn’t allow their enemies to be suppressed, and they couldn’t defeat the geniuses in an unfair battle.
“How could that be possible? When you fought that old man from the Blood Slaughter Temple, the will that exploded out was clearly an invincible will. That sort of pressure is exactly the same. There can’t be any mistake.” Xia Yunchong did not believe him.
“Alright, let’s not compete on this issue. Let’s drink.” Long Chen said as he poured Xia Yunchong’s glass full.
"Brother Long, are you really not invincible? You’ve lost? " However, Xia Yunchong was unable to give up on this question as he wanted to make clear of it.
“Not only have I lost, I’ve lost countless number of times. There was another time where I was chased around the mountain like a dog by someone a level higher than me. Ahh, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s quite embarrassing.” Long Chen said as he held a glass of wine.
Xia Yunchong looked at Long Chen and felt that there was no need for Long Chen to lie to him. But he walked the invincible path, and Long Chen’s invincible will came from his very bones and even from the depths of his soul.
The two of them drank a few more cups. Seeing Xia Yunchong at a loss, Long Chen couldn’t help but find it funny. He directly told him everything about his own life. Apart from some private things like the Chaotic Pearl, he poured out everything else.
When he learned that Long Chen had been bullied in his childhood, that he was only a rookie at the third level of Qi Condensation when he was fifteen, and that he had grown to such an extent in the past few years, he couldn’t help but feel admiration for him.
"So Brother Long really did not walk the path of invincibility. But you, under endless torture, became braver the more you fell. Perhaps this is another kind of invincibility.
"Come, let me toast you with this. I, Xia Yunchong, have never admired anyone in my life, but in terms of indomitable will, I admire you." Xia Yunchong said in admiration.
All along, Xia Yunchong had taken his two years of life as the pride of his life.
But compared to the history of Long Chen’s rise, whether it was an empire battle, Nine Li being the leader, dominating the Eastern Wastelands, or even entering the Central Region for the first time, he felt embarrassed. He mentioned his past and the two couldn’t be compared.
Especially Long Chen, he grew up from a destitute son with nothing at all. He had fought with his own life to grow to this day, and even though he had fought for a part of it, most of it was because of Grand Xia.
Thus, he truly admired Long Chen. The more the two drank, the more they speculated. In the end, the two of them began to talk about everything.
"Brother Long, you said that you came here because you have a friend in the Grand Xia. Do you need me to take care of you?" Xia Yun said.
Long Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, “Forget it. That friend of mine is a bit special. It’s not too convenient.”
In fact, if Xia Yunchong had been able to support the Primordial Devils, they would have been sent flying. However, the risk was too great.
If one day the Primordial Devils were exposed, Grand Xia would become the target of public criticism, bringing about endless trouble. It might even be in danger of being destroyed.
“Brother Xia, to be honest, I came out this time to take refuge. This time I’ve gotten into a big trouble and I came out to hide. Will it bring you any trouble?” Long Chen asked.
"What’s the trouble? The megalomaniacs should have taken care of them, but I never found a chance.
Although the Ancient Race is powerful, the Ancient Alliance isn’t completely one. You’ve only offended one of them, so there’s nothing to fear.
As for the Pill Tower, because we are not on good terms with the Palace, we have nothing to do with them. Even without the Tower’s support, with the Hua Yun Sect’s cooperation and the Palace’s support, we will have nothing to worry about.
Furthermore, you might not know that after you left, the head of your Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect slapped the faces of all four factions. Furthermore, it was in front of all the experts in the Sky Martial Alliance.
Xia Yunchong told Long Chen about the news he had received. Long Chen did not know that in the hands of the Xuan Lord, matters that he thought to be enormous had been settled so easily.
“In other words, I can return to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect anytime?” Long Chen couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
“You can’t leave so quickly. Coming to my Grand Xia Empire, if you don’t stay for a while longer, how can you face running away?” “Hahaha, let’s drink!” Xia Yunchong laughed.
“Hehe, let’s have something to eat, something to drink, something to play. There’s no place to find something good like this. I’ll just take it as a holiday and relax a bit.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Long Chen felt that all these years, he had been living a life of running away from rabbits and dogs. Things happened one after the other and he never relaxed. His mind was always tense and tired. He really needed to relax, as it would be more beneficial to his cultivation.
“Brother Xia, I made a joke with your little sister today. Your little sister seems …” Now that everyone was familiar with each other, Long Chen directly asked. Long Chen could feel that Xia Youluo was a bit strange at that time, and there was a trace of anger in Xia Yunchong’s eyes.
“Brother Long, you’re not afraid of a joke. As this matter is brought up, I am filled with anger. Although You Luo’s cultivation is powerful, her thoughts are simple.”
“After being poisoned by those idiots’ idols, I actually fell for Han Wenjun, one of the three noblemen of Great Han Empire. He really pisses me off.” When he mentioned this matter, Xia Yunchong had a stomach full of fire.
Long Chen was also dumbfounded. He had actually guessed correctly. The Great Han Ancient Country had actually learned a beautiful man’s trick?
If Xia Youluo was truly seduced by Han Wenjun, it would be tantamount to slapping Grand Xia hard in the face and snatching away another expert. This would be an extremely heavy blow to Grand Xia’s morale.
“Didn’t you advise your sister?” Long Chen asked.
“The point is, if she had listened to my advice, it would have been fine. However, her temper is so bad that she would rather die than listen to anyone’s words.” Xia Yunchong said somewhat helplessly.
"What about your father?" Long Chen asked.
"Him? Hmph, Tian Family has no relatives, so everything was in the interests of the country, even though he didn’t say anything.
“But from what I know about him, if You Luo really marries Han Wenjun, father won’t hesitate to execute her.” Xia Yunchong coldly snorted, obviously dissatisfied with his father.
“It can’t be?” Long Chen was shocked. So ruthless?
Xia Yunchong shook his head and said, "You don’t understand. The techniques of an emperor are forever the same. In front of the interests of the country, anyone can be sacrificed.
Although I disapprove of this approach, I have to admit that it is a matter that cannot be avoided.
The Grand Xia is the Grand Xia for all of us, not the Grand Xia of our Xia clan. We have to take responsibility for every single one of their subjects. "
In Xia Yunchong’s eyes, there was deep helplessness. He understood Xia Youluo’s personality the best. She would not change a lot of things, even if she died, so he was deeply worried.
“Long Chen, if there’s a chance, I hope that you can help me persuade her. I really don’t want to see that …” One day she died under her father’s butcher’s knife. " Xia Yunchong looked at Long Chen, his eyes filled with pleading.
Damn, I’m good at picking up girls, but this isn’t my job. Besides, that girl is obviously just a thorny rose. Although she’s beautiful, it’s not something anyone can take. Long Chen doesn’t want to burden himself with this.
Long Chen originally wanted to say that he was powerless in this kind of matter, but when he saw Xia Yunchong’s pleading expression, Long Chen really couldn’t open his mouth.
“Alright, I’ll try my best!” Long Chen could only grit his teeth and accept the offer. He realized that he was going to be the second one to take the blame.
But from a different angle, Long Chen couldn’t just watch his little sister jump into someone else’s trap. What was unacceptable was that the person who killed his little sister was his father. This was an absolutely tragic thing.
"Thank you, Brother Long. This sister of mine rarely talks to others, but she is different to you. If she is willful, you can quickly become friends with her."
Although she is willful and has a bit of a temper, she is kind-hearted and easily trusts others. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so infatuated with that sissy. " Xia Yunchong forced a smile.
As the two of them continued to drink, Long Chen discovered that the wine from the Palace of the Drinking God was truly something good. Although his cultivation level had not increased, his mind was becoming more and more open-minded.
Long Chen drank until the sun rose, but just as the sky lit up, Xia Youluo came running over.
"You Luo, you came just in time. Take Brother Long to the Wine God Palace." Xia Yunchong looked at Long Chen and said.
Chapter 1180 - Uncle Long
"Long Chen, was what you said yesterday true?" Xia Youluo looked at Long Chen with a trace of excitement on her face. She was referring to the matter of the people who admired her lining up to go to the Great Han Empire. Please search for the most comprehensive one!
"That might be true. When I was on my way to the imperial city, I heard two blind men holding a map and gesticulating to the two deaf people. I heard all of this." Long Chen said helplessly.
Seeing Xia You Luo’s leisurely look, Long Chen complained in his heart. Afraid that she would get entangled with Long Chen talking about lining up, he absent-mindedly asked.
At this moment, Long Chen and Xia Youluo were walking on the road, followed by a large group of guards. Along the way, many youths looked at Xia Youluo with amazement, their love for her clearly expressed.
Xia Youluo was the national goddess of the Grand Xia Empire, a figure that countless youths and girls worshipped. However, the youths of the Grand Xia Empire were all very reserved with their emotions. They only dared to look from afar, not step forward to greet her.
Long Chen, on the other hand, walked with a carefree manner, without any sort of royal demeanor. He was like a free and unrestrained prodigal son, looking around and admiring the historical remains.
At times, when he was being questioned by Xia Youluo, he would intentionally marvel at the majesty of a particular building and then ask the guards about the origins of the building. This way, they could change the topic.
However, Xia Youluo was like a child. Long Chen had so obviously avoided the topic, but she still couldn’t feel it. She couldn’t help but become angry as she saw Long Chen repeatedly change the topic.
“Long Chen, I asked you so many questions, but you didn’t answer at all. Why don’t you have any manners?”
Damn, which one of us is rude? Long Chen was speechless. I obviously didn’t want to answer, but you insisted on asking, is it reasonable?
Xia Yunchong had told Xia Youluo to bring Long Chen to the Palace, but as soon as they left, Xia Youluo had asked all the way around to find out more about the Ancient Han Country.
"Lady Princess, please spare me. I really do not understand the Great Han Country. How do you want me to answer?" Long Chen bitterly smiled.
“Liar, you killed one of the eight little princes, Han Zhenyu, and became enemies with the Han Empire. Didn’t you come to the Grand Xia Empire to seek refuge?” Xia Youluo said angrily.
Long Chen’s face suddenly darkened. He coldly looked at Xia Youluo and said, "Respected Princess, there are a few things I need to clarify with you. Firstly, I am indeed not clear about the ancient country’s matters.
Secondly, I came to Grand Xia Empire for a reason, not to seek refuge. I, Long Chen, have been fighting battles all my life, from the Eastern Wasteland to the Central Region. I have only been walking on the bones of my enemies along the way and have never asked for anyone’s protection.
Third, when you speak to me. Pay attention to your words. Even though you are a noble princess, do not think that you are beautiful.
Fourth, don’t be so arrogant, you don’t have the strength to sustain your pride. If you weren’t trained in Grand Xia Empire, even if your talent was good enough, you wouldn’t have the achievements you have today.
Everything that you have now is bestowed upon you by your royal father, your mother, your brothers, and the citizens of the Grand Xia.
Tell me, which item on your body was something that you earned using your own abilities? Where did your pride and confidence come from? "
Long Chen endured it the whole way because he was entrusted by Xia Yunchong. Long Chen was always patient with some of Xia Youluo’s rude words.
As he patiently warned himself that she was only a child, he didn’t want to lower himself to her level. But when this girl spoke, she simply ignored everyone’s feelings and completely exploded.
These words were said very impolitely. Xia You Luo’s expression changed and he could not help but become furious. “You are provoking me.”
“Forget it, forget about those boring words. I didn’t play when I was young. The weeds on the grave are much taller than the elders that told me this word.”
"Although your cultivation is powerful and your battle power is boundless, and I admit that I might not be able to compare to you, if we are to fight to the death, the one who will die will definitely be you." Long Chen stopped and coldly looked at Xia You Luo, his eyes filled with great confidence.
Long Chen didn’t actually scare Xia You Luo. In reality, Xia You Luo was able to withstand the attack of a Blood Slaughter Hall master because the people from the Blood Slaughter Hall weren’t good at fighting head-on. Their specialties were assassination and escape.
It was because of Long Chen’s existence that the expert from the Blood Slaughter Hall gave up on running away. He could not give up the temptation of killing Long Chen.
However, due to the fact that he had burned too much of his primordial spirit, his consciousness had already begun to grow muddled. He had actually gotten entangled with Xia Youluo and had forgotten about Long Chen.
Between Xia Youluo’s attacks and his own attacks, there were clear gouges in them. Only then would he be able to bully the unconscious master of the Blood Slaughter Hall.
If it was another Primordial Spirit Transformation Stage expert who had attacked, Xia Youluo would be in danger of being killed in an instant. It could be said that Xia Youluo’s fierce battle with the Primordial Spirit Transformation Stage had gained a great deal.
"You …" Xia You Luo was enraged. Her lily-white hands gripped the hilt of her sword tightly as her aura began to condense.
The guards who followed behind were greatly startled. What kind of situation was this? Why did he have to make a move just because of this disagreement?
These guards were all Xia Yunchong’s men. Xia Youluo was Xia Yunchong’s sister, and Long Chen was Xia Yunchong’s honored guest. If these two fought, who knew who they would help?
“You are not my opponent. If this is a battle of life and death, I will take your life within three moves. If I can’t do it, I, Long Chen, will immediately die in front of the Grand Xia Empire.” Long Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes staring straight at Xia Youluo, his voice cold and emotionless.
The previously smiling Long Chen who looked like a next-door brother instantly turned into a heartless death god. Xia Youluo was staring at Long Chen with incomparable fear in her heart, because in the depths of Long Chen’s eyes, Xia Youluo seemed to see endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This was a killing intent that Long Chen had always kept hidden in the bottom of his heart. It was also the killing intent that he had accumulated over the countless battles he had gone through in the past few years.
Xia Youluo had grown up in the palace and had spent most of her time cultivating. Although she had a strong battle force, she had very little experience. How could she compare to a powerhouse like Long Chen who had climbed out from a pile of corpses?
Suddenly, her small mouth flattened, Long Chen said coldly: “Put away your plan of dealing with your brother. I’ve said it before, not everyone wants to spoil you, but at least I won’t. I’m going to the Wine God Palace now, you can go back first.”
After Long Chen finished speaking, he turned around and slowly walked away. Xia Youluo was stunned for a long time, crying yet not daring to cry. She actually didn’t know what to do.
She suddenly clenched her teeth and the tears in the corners of her eyes started to flow as she chased after Long Chen.
"What are you doing here?" Long Chen frowned.
“Who’s following you? This is my Grand Xia City, I am the princess of Grand Xia Empire, and this is my home. If I walk in my own home, how can I leave it to you?” Xia Youluo coldly snorted.
In reality, Xia Youluo had been scared off by Long Chen. She felt that if she left just like that or went back to complain, she would lose face and appear timid. Now, in order to show her bravery, she purposely followed Long Chen.
Long Chen glanced at Xia You Luo and saw that Xia You Luo was also glaring at him. Long Chen did not say anything and continued to walk forward. Xia You Luo followed beside him.
At this time, the guards couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. As long as they didn’t start fighting, they were fine. They hurriedly followed behind him.
As Long Chen and the others passed by a tea house, a middle-aged man wearing a grey robe watched them disappear into the distance.
The middle-aged man had sharp eyebrows and a straight nose, and his face had an imposing smile, as if it was carved from a knife.
"This Long Chen is fierce and tyrannical, fearless and indomitable. He is a character." The middle-aged man nodded with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
This person was none other than the current emperor of Ancient Grand Xia. He was also the father of Xia Youluo and Xia Yunchong. He was the most powerful person in Ancient Grand Xia.
Opposite him was a white-haired old man. His eyes were closed and he had a calm expression on his face. This was Xia Yunchong’s master.
"Can you tell that this person is different?" The white-haired elder said.
"This is not in line with the Heavenly Dao. This is in line with the myriad arts! When he unleashed his killing intent, it could be seen that his path was filled with thorns and endless bumps."
"His gaze was decisive and unmoved, yet his soul fluctuations revealed the righteousness of this man. This is absolutely not something that someone like a Sky Hunter should do. The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is treating deer as horses, turning right and wrong." the middle-aged man said.
"Chong’Er had a pleasant conversation with him last night. The two of them confided in each other and entrusted You Luo to Long Chen. I hope Long Chen can save her life." The white-haired elder said.
The middle-aged man looked at the street as an expression of sorrow appeared on his face. “Destiny has already been decided. The appearance of You Luo’s Heaven Smiting Star, will definitely betray our Grand Xia. If we don’t kill her now, our Grand Xia will be in chaos.”
"In reality, the situation is irreversible and the destiny cannot be defied. Cultivators should follow the dao of the heavens; this is the scripture of cultivation.
But the mysteries of the world were unfathomable. Even if one were to comply with the Dao of the Heavens, sometimes one might not have a good ending.
However, there was an exception. If one was affected by karma, their fate would change. However … “It’s hard to predict fortune and misfortune.” The white-haired elder said.
“You mean …” The middle-aged man couldn’t help but be moved.
“Heaven’s will cannot be revealed. It’s fine as long as you know what it is. As the controller of the Grand Xia, you should know what to do.” The white-haired old man said meaningfully.
The middle-aged man muttered to himself for a while before nodding, "Understood."
… ….
“Long Chen, I’m already 18 years old. How old are you?”
Long Chen did not utter a word as he walked forward. Xia Youluo seemed to have forgotten her displeasure as she took the initiative to speak to Long Chen.
"Twenty-two." Long Chen casually replied.
“Ah?” “Then you’re very old.” Xia Youluo said with a surprised face.
Long Chen almost staggered as he corrected, "I have matured."
“Hehe, you’re so much older than me. Can I call you Uncle Long from now on?” Xia Youluo giggled.
Long Chen immediately understood that this little girl had suffered a bit earlier and was here to seek revenge.
“Your brother is already 27 years old. Aren’t you going to call him grandpa?” Long Chen snappily replied.
“That can’t be counted like this. We’re siblings, not based on age. Uncle Long, you look so young.” Xia Youluo immediately called out to him.
“Mn, that’s right. The next time I see your royal father, I’ll just call him Big Brother.” Long Chen is also someone who doesn’t fear the heavens or the earth. Why would he be afraid of you calling him uncle?
“Eh, we’re here!”
Long Chen suddenly saw a tall, ancient building up ahead.
Chapter 1181 - Nine Star Pattern Reappearance
Even if Long Chen hadn’t been to the Palace before, he could tell from the sight of this building that they had arrived. Please search for the most comprehensive one!
The entire building had a circumference of no more than a hundred miles. Looking from a high altitude, it looked like a large wine jug that had its own craftsmanship.
The main door was the mouth of the wine jug. When he arrived at the door, Long Chen could smell the rich aroma of the wine, making him intoxicated from it.
“Hey, Uncle, don’t say random things when you go in. If you get kicked out, that would be too shameful. When that happens, don’t blame me for not being loyal and pretending to not know you.” Xia You Luo said seriously as he entered the room.
Uncle Long has become an old man. He seems to have aged another ten years. Besides, you are just a girl. I don’t expect you to be loyal.
Long Chen shook his head. “It’s fine. I’m already so old, so I don’t have any face. I’m not afraid of losing face, but you, little girl, are afraid of being implicated. You can go back first.”
Since he had already been called uncle by others, Long Chen directly took advantage of his seniority to call her lass. This way, he wouldn’t suffer too much.
"Am I such a disloyal person? I am telling you to take it easy, this is the Wine God Palace. If you are kicked out of here, not only will you lose face, you will also be scolded by my royal father. " The little girl warned.
“It’s fine. Big brother won’t blame me. After all, we are brothers.” Long Chen’s face was rather thick. He went along with the flow and called the current Emperor of Grand Xia big brother. This time, not only did he take advantage of Xia You Luo, he also took advantage of Xia Yun Chong.
"You …" If royal father knew about this, he will chop your head off. " The little girl was so angry that she clenched her teeth. She had never seen anyone as bold and shameless as Long Chen.
“It’s alright. It’s not wrong to die under my brother’s blade. I’m going in now. Why don’t you go back first? Wine isn’t something that a child should drink.” Long Chen said.
"You … “You’re the one who is a child. I have already grown up, so what’s the big deal. At most, I’ll just be chased out again.” The little girl coldly snorted.
Long Chen looked at Xia Youluo with a strange expression. “You’ve already been chased out once?”
Only then did Xia Youluo realize that she had accidentally leaked it. Her face was completely red as she said somewhat bashfully, “At that time, I was still young and didn’t know anything. I won’t do it now.”
“Then I won’t be implicated by you, right? Once I enter, I’ll be blown out. That would be too embarrassing.” Right now, he didn’t want Xia Youluo to follow him. He was afraid that he would be caught in the crossfire.
He was still young last year, so he gave me a few casual comments. It was clearly because of their stinginess, even if my comments were wrong, I am still a child. They did not give me any face. Xia You Luo was not convinced.
Damn, last year’s matter could actually be considered that of a child. He was a genius, but now that he had come, Long Chen could only brace himself and enter. He hoped that he wouldn’t be affected by this little girl and end up messing things up.
There were no guards at the gate, nor was there anyone welcoming him. After entering, a quiet courtyard appeared in front of them. There was a stone tablet in front of the gate with a picture on it.
It depicted a man in tattered clothes, half lying under a peach tree, holding a wine jug in his hand. He looked at the empty sky with a drunken and enchanting gaze, his eyes were misty, and he was half drunk and half awake.
Although his clothes were tattered and his body was covered in dust, there were still petals on his hair, making him look extremely slovenly.
However, it gave off an ethereal and carefree feeling. This was the feeling of being in the mortal world, of having one’s heart in the clouds.
The moment Long Chen saw this scene, he was attracted by the otherworldly realm. It was as if in that instant, Long Chen had thrown away all earthly troubles and became empty and at ease.
The lines of the character were very simple and they were even somewhat illegible. However, with just a few strokes, they bestowed upon the character a moving charm.
When Long Chen followed that person’s gaze and looked at the empty space, his heart shook violently. Nine bright stars that were like blazing suns encircled the sky as they appeared in the upper left corner of the painting.
“Long Chen, it’s time to burn some incense.” Xia You Luo pushed the dazed Long Chen away and reminded him.
At this time, Long Chen discovered a youth wearing hemp clothes and with his hair tied up in a bun. He was holding incense with both hands.
“I’m so sorry.” Long Chen hurriedly took the incense and apologized.
The young man in linen robes shook his head and said, "No need to be courteous, this is the God of Wine. Being attracted by the charm of the Wine God means that your esteemed guest is fated to be in the Wine God Palace."
Although the teenager was only 15 or 16 years old, his voice was calm and natural, neither arrogant nor haughty. It was neither humble nor haughty, and it gave people a favorable impression of him.
Long Chen took the candle and lit it, then inserted it into the incense burner. Just as he finished this action, the three incense sticks on the incense burner instantly burned to ashes.
"This …" The teenager could not help but be shocked. He did not know what this meant. This was a special type of incense. No matter how much external force interfered, it would burn for a moment, no more, no less.
But now, even though it had been instantly incinerated, such a scene had never occurred. Even Long Chen and Xia Youluo were shocked.
“Honored guest, please step forward to enjoy the incense.” The youngster hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t quite understand the phenomenon, he still handed the incense to Xia Youluo.
Xia Youluo took the incense stick and lit it. Then, she inserted it into the incense burner. Nothing happened, and three joss sticks slowly burned.
"The two of you, please come in." The youth gestured at the two of them, inviting them in.
"Long Chen, what was that just now?"
The two slowly walked into the inner court. Xia Youluo secretly asked.
"So shameless, you have to call me uncle." Long Chen deliberately scolded her with a straight face.
“If I’m so beautiful, I won’t scream.” Xia You Luo’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Long Chen.
Done? Uncle’s title was dropped just like that? Long Chen felt that it was funny. In terms of methods, even if there were ten of you, a little girl like you, you still wouldn’t be his match.
However, Long Chen couldn’t afford to offend this little girl. He opened his mouth and said, “Actually, I don’t know why, but I feel a mysterious power destroying that fragrance, just like …”
It was as if there was some sort of special power that had rejected Long Chen’s incense. As for the specifics, Long Chen did not know. In short, it was extremely strange.
"Like what?" Seeing that Long Chen suddenly stopped talking, Xia You Luo hurriedly asked.
"It’s just like … “Aiya, as a person, I haven’t read much. I don’t know how to compare.” Long Chen scratched his head.
“It’s fine. Think about it, I’m not in a hurry.” On the other hand, Xia Youluo was very curious and wanted to know the result.
“It’s just like someone who went to the latrine and didn’t bring any paper. At this moment, someone handed him a wooden stick, and after hesitating for a moment, he rejected the wooden stick. He is probably waiting for someone to give him a piece of paper.” Long Chen said.
“You’re so disgusting. How can the incense stick and the latrine be the same? One incense stick and the other stink, the difference is too great. Besides, what does the lack of paper have to do with sticks?” Xia You Luo said.
Alright, since you are all nobles from the royal palace, you definitely didn’t use a stick to wipe your butt. These cold words of yours sure are cold.
However, after Long Chen said this, Xia Youluo didn’t ask further. Entering the inner courtyard, Long Chen discovered that this building that looked like a wine jug actually had its own space. Behind it were mountains and rivers.
"The Wine God Palace itself is a treasure. It has its own space array formations, mountains, rivers, farmlands, everything. The food and materials for their wine are all grown by themselves." After entering the Palace, Xia Youluo became much more obedient.
As the two entered the inner court, a small mountain appeared in front of them. A stone path snaked its way through the mountain, and ancient trees could be seen along the way. There were buildings in the corners, making the place seem ethereal.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was actually a light drizzle. Green grass was fresh and full of life and vigor.
"What a great place!"
As Long Chen felt the drizzling rain, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. This place seemed to be a secluded place for masters. As he set foot here, all his worries seemed to vanish.
"Is there usually no one who comes to the Palace? Why can’t I see any outsiders? " Long Chen curiously asked.
"Do you think anyone can come in here? To come here, one has to make an appointment in advance. Only the imperial family of Grand Xia has this privilege, they can bring people here to visit anytime they want." Xia You Luo said with a hint of disdain in his voice.
Alright, this girl always remembers grudges. As long as I give her a chance, she will definitely take revenge.
As Long Chen stepped onto the stone steps, a strange energy suddenly attacked him. Long Chen felt as if some kind of energy was stripping him of his strength.
“This is a formation from the Wine God Palace. It’s rare for it to strip us of our cultivation and allow us to become mortals.” Looking at Long Chen’s shocked expression, Xia Youluo lightly said.
"Mortal? You mean, you’ve become an Immortal? " Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Just when that magical power was about to strip away Long Chen’s energy, Long Chen’s Chaos Pearl slowly began to revolve. Long Chen hurriedly controlled the Chaos Pearl, he knew that the Chaos Pearl would have to automatically resist that power.
Long Chen didn’t want to cause a stir. He allowed the power to enter Long Chen’s body. It was like a lock, locking all of his meridians, immortal altars, and even his soul force.
At the same time, his divine sense and senses had all disappeared. At first, he wasn’t used to it, but soon, he felt extremely relaxed. This was the joy of returning to the normal world, and there was no way to express it in words.
Losing everything he could rely on made him feel more at ease. It was as if he had suddenly put down all of his burdens. This was another kind of experience.
However, Long Chen saw that Xia Youluo was frowning. She didn’t like this feeling and was a bit uneasy.
“Let’s go!”
Long Chen slowly walked forward, and for the first time, he felt as if he was standing on solid ground. He had always been in the air before, but now he felt that standing on solid ground was a completely different feeling.
However, there were green grass and moss on the stone steps. They were extremely slippery. If one was not careful, they might slip up.
"Aiya!"
After taking a few steps forward, Xia Youluo held onto her long skirt and carefully moved forward, trying her best to avoid the mud, but she still slipped and fell. When she saw that she was about to fall, she could not help but shout out.
If you fell down, you would be covered in mud. Long Chen suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xia You Luo. Only then did Xia You Luo stabilize her body.
"This bastard…"
Xia Youluo was about to curse him for being a hard nut to crack when she suddenly covered her mouth with her jade hand. Her large eyes darted around and upon seeing that no one was alerted, she relaxed.
