Chapter 549 - Drunken Immortal Tavern’s Girl
“Long Chen, I know that you must have an extraordinary background. However, no matter what kind of power you are in, there will always be endless bullying and ostracism. Are you really not going to consider joining us?” “If you are willing to join, I’m willing to give you the captain position, and also give you the mercenary group to name your group.”
In the dark night, Mu Xue and Long Chen arrived at a cliff. Mu Xue faced Long Chen and softly said.
Long Chen looked at the tents at the bottom of the cliff and sighed. “First of all, I must thank Guild Leader Mu Xue for her respect. However, I really can’t join the Mu Xue Mercenary Group.”
"Why? You can’t give up your identity? " Mu Xue asked.
"I think Guild Leader Mu Xue has misunderstood. I am not some disciple of some noble family.
I chose not to join the mercenary group because I looked down on you. On the contrary, I like the atmosphere in the mercenary group.
“It’s precisely because I like you that I can’t join you. It’s because I’m a calamity and will implicate you.” Long Chen shook his head as he looked at the crescent moon in the sky.
“You should know that there isn’t a single coward in our mercenary group!” Mu Xue looked at Long Chen as she spoke.
"Just take me for a selfish person. You all might not be afraid of death, but I am afraid. I cannot endure that sort of pain.
As for me, I’m afraid that before long, the entire mercenary group will be annihilated because of me.
All of you will die, but I will endure that heart-wrenching pain alone. Therefore, I don’t seem to be sentimental or bitter. Just take me for a heartless person. "A trace of sadness appeared in Long Chen’s eyes.
He was the enemy of the entire Heavenly Dao. If they wanted to fight alongside him, they would have to have extremely powerful personalities. If their lives weren’t tough enough, they would all perish.
Back then, during the Great War of the Righteous Evil, there were still many high-spirited core disciples who fought alongside Long Chen.
When the Nine Li Secret Realm emerged, only Gu Yang and the others were left. Those people had already fallen.
Even though the path of cultivators was filled with countless geniuses and each of them had their own destiny, Long Chen didn’t know how many of them had died because of Yan Wushuang’s schemes. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Thus, Long Chen’s feelings for him grew more and more cautious. His actions would likely cause others to lose their lives.
This was also the reason why he kept a certain distance from the rest of them, especially Mu Xue and the other two girls.
Although the Mu Xue Mercenary Group were all elites, if they worked hard to nurture them, they would become a powerful aid.
However, Long Chen truly liked them. He didn’t want them to get sucked into his whirlpool. It wasn’t easy for them to find a direction to live their lives, and once they had a purpose in life, they wouldn’t be able to step into this muddy water anymore.
“Long Chen, do you have a story?” Mu Xue couldn’t help but shudder when she saw the sentimental look in Long Chen’s eyes.
“My story is too long. It’s so long that I can’t finish speaking it.” Long Chen said with a wry smile.
"Then you… Would you like to talk to me about it? " Mu Xue said in a low voice.
Long Chen looked at Mu Xue and said, "Thank you for your concern, captain. I will never forget the Mu Xue Mercenary Group.
“Aiya, I remember now. The Frigid Water Crows should be fed with medicine by now, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to fly by tomorrow. Captain, I’ll be leaving first!”
Long Chen was a little vexed as he patted his head. He bade farewell to Mu Xue and dashed towards the Cold Water Crow.
Looking at Long Chen’s departing back, Mu Xue felt a little disappointed. All these years, she had been holding up her mercenary group by herself. It was tiring …
… ….
On the morning of the second day, the Colourful Colors Crow had regained much of his spirit. Seeing that Long Chen had arrived, he slowly crouched down.
“Long Chen, are you sure it’s okay?” “Don’t throw us down midway. We’ll all be smashed into meat patties!” Zhang Wu said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. Even if you are smashed into a meat patty, you will still be the biggest one amongst them.” Long Chen said faintly as he looked at Zhang Wu’s tall and sturdy figure.
Long Chen’s words caused the two young girls to laugh incessantly. However, Mu Xue was not in the mood today and didn’t say anything.
“Let’s go!”
Everyone got on the Frigid Water Crow. Long Chen gave the order to the Frigid Water Crow, and it flapped its wings, taking everyone into the sky.
The Frigid Water Crow flapped its wings and soared into the clouds in an instant, scaring many of its faces into turning green. At such a high distance, it would have died if it had fallen.
"Long Chen, can you make it fly lower? It looks so scary!" A young girl pulled Long Chen as she spoke with a pale face.
“That won’t do. If we fly too low, we will be attacked by the other demonic beasts. We aren’t afraid, but the Colourful Colors Crow has only recovered a little. If we are attacked, we are in danger of losing our lives.”
“No one needs to be afraid. After a while, we’ll raise the distance by another three thousand feet or so. Then you won’t be afraid.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Sure enough, after rising another three thousand feet, the group was no longer afraid. The Colourful Ravens had entered a state of flight, and a thin layer of clouds blocked their line of sight. It was not as frightening as before.
“If I’m brave, I can enjoy the beautiful scenery. If I’m timid, I can close my eyes and sleep for a while. The Frigid Water Crows can fly very steadily!” Long Chen said.
After Long Chen said this, he realized that the guys who had a trace of fear on their faces were all looking into the distance to show that they weren’t ‘cowardly’ people. This caused Long Chen to smile.
“Such a fast speed. If this goes on, we’ll only need a day and a night to reach Qingzhou!” Mu Xue was also shocked by the speed of the Colourful Colourful Cold Crows as she finally spoke after flying high into the sky.
“I’m afraid that won’t do. The Colored Kary Crow’s injuries have just been partially healed. It will need to rest for the night after flying for half a day at a time.”
"However, it would also be much faster than our full speed. I estimate that we would reach the Azure Province in three days." Long Chen explained.
Mu Xue nodded and didn’t say anything. When it was close to noon, Long Chen made the Frigid Water Crow start to slowly descend and find an empty lake to land on.
After all, its body was too huge, and it would require a large amount of energy to use up.
That day, they rested by the lake for the night and the next day, they continued on their journey. They flew for half a day and rested for the night. By the third day, everyone had already flown out of the mountains.
After leaving the mountain, they were still twenty to thirty thousand miles away from Qingzhou City. However, Long Chen told the Colourful Snowy to stop.
Everyone jumped down from the back of the Cold Water Crows. Long Chen then took out a large amount of pills and fed them to the Crows.
"Alright, our agreement has been completed. This last batch of pills is enough to heal your wounds to their peak condition. Go back to your home!" Long Chen said to the Rainbow Crows.
The reason why Long Chen let it go so early was because he was afraid that other experts would discover it and kill the Cold Water Crows when they got close to the Cyan Plains City.
The Cold Water Crows suddenly let out a low cry and kept rubbing his heads intimately in front of Long Chen. He actually thought about Long Chen’s kindness and didn’t want to leave.
Everyone who saw this could not help but feel touched. Who said that magical beasts were cruel? Sometimes, they understood emotions better than humans.
“It’s just an agreement between the two of us. I’ll help you heal your injuries, and you’ll help lead the way. Now that the two ends have been reconciled, it’s time to part,” Long Chen said as he gently patted the Cold Water Crow’s head.
Only then did the Cold Water Crows unwillingly spread their wings and fly into the air. However, after circling a few times in the air, he refused to leave.
"Go!" Long Chen sighed.
Only then did the Frigid Water Crow let out a clear cry. With a flap of their wings, they shot into the clouds and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Looking at the direction where the Frigid Water Crow left in, Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. A magical beast could still repay favors, but why would a human like to repay favors with enemies?
It was just a small favor, but at the same time, it was also a transaction. A magical beast could be grateful, but what about a human?
The soldiers of Mu Xue’s mercenary group were also sighing with emotion as they watched the Crow leave. However, what Long Chen said just now echoed in Mu Xue’s mind: fate has passed, time for us to part ways.
Could it be that the example of the Frigid Water Crow was a portrayal of Long Chen and them? Looking at Long Chen’s back, a complex expression appeared in Mu Xue’s eyes.
“We still have half a day to go. Let’s go!” Mu Xue suppressed her thoughts and spoke to the crowd.
Everyone nodded. It was already close to noon, so everyone quickened their pace. They should be able to reach the Cyan Plains City before sunset.
“Hehe, Long Chen, when we arrive at Qingzhou City, I’ll bring you a good meal. I’ll treat you!” Zhang Wu said with a hint of excitement.
“You’re not allowed to bring Long Chen to places where things don’t seem right!” a young girl warned.
Zhang Wu’s face turned red as he hurriedly waved his hands, “No, no, I won’t. Am I, Zhang Wu, that kind of person?”
Long Chen was speechless. You’re not that kind of person, what are you blushing for? Isn’t this just trying to cover it up?
“Cough cough, I’m not looking for trouble with everyone, and Brother Long Chen is not willing to join our mercenary group.”
Seeing that they were about to part, I was prepared to invite Brother Long Chen to the Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant to have fun. As you know, the ladies of the Intoxicated Immortal Restaurant only sell their bodies and not their skills … Oh, no, no. “He’s an artist that doesn’t sell himself.” Zhang Wu hurriedly changed his words.
Long Chen felt disdain. If you f * cking don’t want to invite me, then just say so. Aren’t you making things worse by the minute?
“That’s a good idea!” What no one expected was, Mu Xue actually nodded her head and said.
"Captain!" Everyone cried out in alarm.
“You’re all thinking too much. The Drunken Immortal Tavern is the largest wind and moon location in the Azure Province. I’ve long heard of it and would like to see it as well,” Mu Xue said with a faint smile.
“Captain, that’s not good ….” Zhang Wu said hesitantly.
“You’re thinking too much. Long Chen has helped us so much this time, so of course we should invite him to have a look.”
Furthermore, I’m going to the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Tavern — Drunken Immortal Tavern. Don’t think too much about it, "Mu Xue said with a smile.
"Drunken Immortal? "Then the cost …" Everyone could not help but be shocked.
"No matter how much money we spend, can it compare with the treasures we get? After handing in the mission, we, Mu Xue’s mercenary group, will go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and take a box.
“On one hand, it’s to send Long Chen off. On the other hand, we have to announce to the entire mercenary world that our Mu Xue Mercenary Group has risen to power!” Mu Xue said in high spirits.
"Great, we finally have the chance to see the top ladies of the Drunken Immortal Tavern …" Zhang Wu was so excited that he was dancing with joy.
"You want to meet the girl from the Drunken Immortal?" "Maybe in the next life."
Suddenly, an ice-cold voice could be heard. A group of people rushed out from afar and surrounded them.
Chapter 550 - Why should I?
.
Everyone could not help but be shocked. The amount of people coming was tyrannical, there were more than a hundred of them, and they were all experts at the Meridian Opening Realm.
The most shocking thing was that there were six old men inside. Their bodies radiated a powerful pressure, as if they were one with the world. These were six Xiantian realm experts.
"Zhao Qingyun, what do you mean?" Mu Xue already had her sword in hand as she shouted angrily at someone in the crowd.
That person was none other than the archenemy of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group. He was the boss of the Qingzhou Mercenary Group — the captain of the Iron-Blood Mercenary Group, Zhao Qingyun.
Zhao Qingyun looked to be in his thirties. He was tall and sturdy with a long scar on his face, giving off a sinister feeling.
Zhao Qingyun was a genuine Xiantian realm expert, and his cultivation base was at the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. During the initial stages of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group, he had purposely suppressed the Mu Xue Mercenary Group.
Actually, it was Zhao Qingyun who valued Mu Xue’s talent and beauty, so he was prepared to take her as his own. However, this good thing had been ruined by the experts from the Mo Clan.
Although he was very famous in the mercenary world, in the eyes of the sect, mercenaries were just as bad as people who asked for food. He didn’t dare to compete with the sect, or else he would die without even knowing how.
Although he had caused a lot of trouble for the Mu Xue Mercenary Group behind his back, he still hadn’t been able to stop the Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s development. Currently, the Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s strength had already entered the top ten of the mercenary world.
And after seeing Mu Xue today, what made him even more shocked was that Mu Xue had actually stepped into the Xiantianrealm. This posed a great threat to his position.
It had to be known that there were only three groups in the Azure Province which had Xiantian realm experts holding the top three positions. Now that Mu Xue had entered the Xiantian realm, she was probably ranked fourth at least.
It had to be known that Mu Xue was only twenty years old, yet Zhao Qingyun looked to be in his thirties, but in reality, he was already in his fifties. This made him deeply jealous.
“Mu Xue, today, it’s not that I’m looking for you, but someone wants to see you!” Zhao Qingyun coldly looked at Mu Xue as a hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.
“I’ve long heard of Miss Mu Xue’s natural beauty, her fairy-like beauty, and her exceptional Xiantian talent. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her today for three lifetimes!”
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed as a young man walked out from the crowd. Five Xiantian realm experts stood behind him like stars surrounding the moon.
That young man looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a silk robe with a jade belt hanging from his waist. Even though he was only in the Meridian Opening Realm, his aura had condensed to the very essence.
The people from the Mu Xue Mercenary Group were also in the Meridian Opening Realm, but they were suppressed by his aura and felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts.
"Luo Zhongsheng!"
When Mu Xue saw that person, she could not help but narrow her eyes as her face paled and she instantly understood what had happened.
“Hahaha, I didn’t think that Miss Mu Xue would actually know me. It is truly my fortune!” Luo Zhongsheng wore a smile on his face as he sized up Mu Xue. However, his eyes carried a hint of vulgarity, causing others to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Mu Xue was a little frightened from his gaze, but she still braced herself and said: “Sir, you are the young master of the Great Eagle Castle, you aren’t here to make things difficult for me right?”
The Great Eagle Castle was one of the three big powers in the Azure Province. Other than the Mo Clan, there was no one else that could contend against them. Its strength was extremely strong.
How could I bear to do that? Seeing Miss Mu Xue run all day and work too hard, this young master’s heart became softhearted, preparing to take you in as a concubine. My Giant Eagle Castle’s resources are for you to enjoy, much better than if you were with a bunch of bitter and laughing idiots. “Do you agree?” Luo Zhongsheng laughed.
"Bullsh * t!"
“You’re the idiot!”
"Are you f * cking trash?"
“F * ck, you’re courting death!”
As soon as Luo Zhongsheng’s words fell, the Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s side exploded. They all cursed loudly, almost rushing out to kill someone.
Luo Zhongsheng’s tone was full of ridicule, clearly insulting everyone. Everyone had weapons in their hands, ready to fight at any moment.
“Luo Zhongsheng, you’re a dignified young master of a castle. How dare you bully this group of us? Do you even have any face?” Mu Xue trembled in anger.
If it was only the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, she wouldn’t be afraid. Although she hadn’t had the time to refine the crystal bone, she wasn’t afraid of Zhao Qing Yun.
The Mu Xue Mercenary Group didn’t have as many people as the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, but the Mu Xue Mercenary Group was filled with elites who weren’t afraid of death and weren’t any weaker than them.
However, once the Great Eagle Castle interfered, it was completely different. With the five Xiantian Realm experts of the Great Eagle Castle, they would undoubtedly die.
“Hahaha, I won’t waste any more time on nonsense. After hearing that you have accepted the mission issued by Blackgate Manor, I have set up my eyes to guard you.”
I don’t care if you have or not obtained the crystal core of a Underground Spider, I will give you two ways now, either submit to my Great Eagle Castle, or hehe — — Die! " Luo Zhongsheng said coldly.
“Your Great Eagle Castle has gone too far, we didn’t participate in your fight, what right do you have to blame us?” Mu Xue said coldly.
“I don’t have the time to waste words with you, this is the case in the cultivation world. Strength reigns supreme, the strong survive, and the weak do not have the power to defend themselves. I’ll ask you now, do you want to die or do you want to live?” Luo Zhongsheng sneered.
“Captain, you retreat first, we’ll cover your retreat. When your cultivation is high enough, you can avenge us!”
The experts of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group unleashed their auras one after another. With weapons in their hands, they were about to charge forward.
"You ants should all withdraw!"
Weng! *
All of a sudden, the space around them shook as a terrifying Xiantian presence pressed down on the Mu Xue Mercenary Group. Everyone felt as if the space around them had been frozen and could not move at all.
It was the Xiantian realm experts of the Great Eagle Castle who had released their Xiantian aura. One must know that they were several hundred year old ghosts and their control over the Xiantian energy was not something that a rookie like Mu Xue could compare to.
The Mu Xue Mercenary Group was in a dire situation. The surrounding roads were sealed and they had six Xiantian realm experts watching them. Let alone the humans, even flies couldn’t fly out.
“I knew you wouldn’t cry until you see the coffin. How about this, I will give you a way out. Mu Xue, I will challenge you with my late stage Meridian Opening strength.”
If you win, I’ll let all of you go. If you lose, hehe, you’ll obediently be my concubine, at my mercy.
"Of course you can reject it. The consequence of refusing me is that from today onwards, your Mu Xue Mercenary Group will be removed from the entire Azure Province!" Luo Zhongsheng looked at Mu Xue and said confidently.
“Captain, don’t agree to him! If we die, we’ll kill them!” A mercenary cried out.
"Alright, I promise you!" Mu Xue stared at Luo Zhongsheng and said coldly.
"Guild Leader?"
“No need to speak further. I’ve already made a move. Let me experience the strength of the young master of the Great Eagle Castle!” Mu Xue waved her hand and stopped everyone’s persuasion.
Although she knew that the opposite party was the young master of the Giant Eagle Castle, who could possibly have the strength to fight those who were higher than her level, but the current situation was very threatening, so she had to give it a try.
“Hahaha, good, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. All of you, back off. Everyone else, keep an eye on the Mu Xue Mercenaries. Don’t let them escape!” Luo Zhongsheng coldly said.
"Hualala!"
The crowd immediately dispersed, leaving a space in the middle for Mu Xue and Luo Zhongsheng. The elders of the Great Eagle Castle didn’t seem to be worried at all for their Young Lord. They surrounded Long Chen and the others, not giving them any chance to escape.
In the entire space, only Mu Xue and Luo Zhongsheng remained. Mu Xue’s long sword slanted and the aura around her body slowly gathered as the energy of heaven and earth rose.
“Long Chen, that Luo Zhongsheng seems to have nothing to fear. What should we do?” “Since you’re so smart, think of a way!” A young girl pulled Long Chen and said anxiously.
“Ai, why must you suffer?” Long Chen looked at Luo Zhongsheng and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Long Chen, don’t just sigh, think of a way to save big sister Mu Xue!” When the young girl saw Long Chen sigh, she became even more anxious.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s alright. My sighs have nothing to do with the captain.” Long Chen shook his head and softly consoled.
Dong!
Suddenly, there was an explosive sound. Mu Xue had already attacked, her sword aimed at Luo Zhongsheng, but Luo Zhongsheng raised his arm to block and made a clanging sound.
"What? Is this Luo Zhongsheng indestructible?" A mercenary was shocked.
"Armguard!" Long Chen said faintly.
Unbreakable Body? Just him? Forget it!
"Collapsing Mountain!"
Luo Zhongsheng suddenly let out a loud shout as his hand flickered with a golden light. He punched out towards Mu Xue. The power of one punch caused the space to tremble.
"Boom!"
An explosive sound rang out as Luo Zhongsheng’s fist landed on Mu Xue’s longsword. Mu Xue was sent flying by that fist and an unhealthy blush appeared on her beautiful face. She had actually suffered an injury from that fist.
"What?" How was this possible? How can his fist be so powerful? " The young girl could not help but be terrified.
"Sacrifice!"
Long Chen’s face revealed a trace of ridicule. This was the biggest trump card that he dared to challenge someone above his level. Furthermore, he had to wear the Golden-Striped Gloves in order to receive a weapon with his bare hands.
The most important thing was that the weapon in Mu Xue’s hand was not a Xiantian level weapon. This made Long Chen look down on this young cooker even more.
"Take a few more of my punches!"
After knocking Mu Xue back with a punch, Luo Zhongsheng roared loudly. The power belonging to his complete sacrifice erupted and the sky filled with fist shadows tore open the void as they charged towards Mu Xue.
After the cultivators had completed their sacrifice, their condensed meridians were astonishingly tough, and their strength could not be measured by logic. When they unleashed their full power, Mu Xue was forced to retreat several steps.
Mu Xue’s face was pale. She knew that she was tricked. This Luo Zhongsheng had purposefully left her with the way to force her into a trap.
"Boom!"
Luo Zhongsheng punched again, his aura overflowing as Mu Xue was already shaken to the point of her vital energy and blood tumbling. She barely managed to block one punch, but the long sword in her hand shattered and she was sent flying backwards.
This sudden turn of events caused the faces of everyone in the Mu Xue Mercenary Group to change drastically. Some people wanted to rush out, but suddenly the Xiantianpressure of the Xiantian presence descended, causing them to be unable to move.
"Haha, be an obedient concubine!"
Luo Zhongsheng let out a cold laugh. He had already flown out and caught up with Mu Xue who was sent flying back. He grabbed towards Mu Xue’s snow-white neck.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, a large hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Luo Zhongsheng’s wrist. At the same time, a sigh was heard:
"Sigh!" "Why bother!"
Chapter 551 Blood splatters the sky
.
The owner of the big hand was Long Chen. Long Chen looked at Luo Zhong’s victorious face with a face full of pity.
Luo Zhongsheng’s wrist was grabbed by someone and he couldn’t help but become angry. When he saw Long Chen’s face, the anger on his face disappeared and was replaced with fear. His eyes bulged out as if he had seen a ghost.
He shook his arm with all his might, but his wrist was still gripped by Long Chen. It was as if there was a root growing out of it, making it impossible for him to move it.
"Ahh …"
Luo Zhongsheng was unable to retract his palm and was so scared that he cried out loud. He was as hoarse as a pig and his voice was filled with fear.
"Why?"
Bang.
"Crack!"
Long Chen kicked Luo Zhongsheng’s chest. Luo Zhongsheng’s body was sent flying, but his arm was ripped off by Long Chen.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, especially the few elders from the Great Eagle Castle. Their faces changed drastically.
Hurriedly running to Luo Zhongsheng’s side, they helped him up and looked at Long Chen warily. Their hearts were filled with shock.
One had to know that their young master had the strength to rival an early stage Xiantian master. Who could injure him with a wave of his hand?
Moreover, looking at Luo Zhongsheng’s expression, it was as if they recognized the person in front of them and were extremely afraid.
"Long …" Long … Long … "Long …" As if he had forgotten the pain of losing his arm, Luo Zhongsheng stammered while pointing a finger at Long Chen.
"Long Chen!"
When Mu Xue finally reacted and saw the man standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but exclaim lightly.
However, as she saw Luo Zhongsheng, he pointed at Long Chen as if he had seen a ghost. His face was dark and green, and it seemed as if his soul was about to leave his body.
Long Chen looked at Luo Zhongsheng and shook his head: "People say that if you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune. But why are you different?"
Last time, in the Nine Li Secret Realm, you were the only one of the three that survived. I was too busy killing Yin Luo that I didn’t have time to bother with you.
I didn’t expect you to be so lucky as to escape from Mo Nian’s grasp. You said that you finally managed to save your life, that you didn’t cherish it properly, and even insisted on giving it to me, making me feel embarrassed to not kill you. I feel that if I didn’t kill you, I would feel sorry for you.
"You are Long Chen!" An elder of the Giant Eagle Castle pointed at Long Chen and said in shock.
Not only were the people of the Great Eagle Castle shocked, the people of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group were also stunned. Not to mention them, even the people of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group were also stunned.
Mu Xue and the others finally understood why the name Long Chen sounded so familiar.
What kind of joke was this? In the Nine Li Secret Realm, a single person was able to sweep away two heaven’s pride level experts, both good and evil. Killing a chosen was like chopping a melon and cutting vegetables, pointing a long blade at them.
The battle at the Nine Li Secret Realm had caused Long Chen’s name to shake the entire Nine Heavens. He had become the idol of countless young experts, the invincible war god in their hearts.
The people of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group were dumbfounded. They felt like they were in a dream. That god-like person actually ate, drank and slept with them. It felt too surreal.
“So what if it’s Long Chen? This isn’t the Nine Li Secret Realm. You’ll still die here!”
One of the Xiantian experts of the Great Eagle Castle coldly shouted. He drew his saber and chopped at Long Chen with lightning speed.
With a single slash, even space was torn apart. With the addition of that terrifying Xiantian power, it caused the void to tremble. That Xiantian realm expert attacked with all his might, his voice mighty and unstoppable.
The members of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group were shocked. The power of this saber strike could destroy mountains and destroy the mountains. It was unstoppable. Just when everyone’s hearts were tensed up, a blood-red blade appeared in Long Chen’s hand.
Bang.
A muffled sound rang out. The terrifying saber had only made a muffled sound when it landed on Long Chen’s blood-red long blade. Even the earth didn’t tremble. It was extremely strange.
According to the power of that saber strike, the entire earth should have been chopped into pieces.
However, after Long Chen received the saber blow, the Xiantian realm experts’ expressions immediately changed.
Mu Xue’s beautiful eyes flashed, filled with excitement. The reason Long Chen was able to withstand this attack without any change in his expression was because Long Chen had used his own strength to dispel the pressure from the saber.
This meant that Long Chen’s strength was far greater than the Xiantian realm expert’s. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to do this. The ground beneath his feet didn’t even tremble when Long Chen blocked the attack with an expressionless face.
"Bullsh * t. You want to kill me? Kill me with the kind of strength that can only hit the buttocks of a three year old child. Don’t kill me with laughter.
"Boom!"
As Long Chen spoke, the energy in his body rushed into his new meridian. Long Chen’s meridian had finally reached its saturation point after a total of 981 dilations, over two hours ago.
When all of Long Chen’s spirit energy was channeled into his new meridian, a terrifying pressure, unprecedented in history, rose up into the sky. With Long Chen as the center, it surged violently, engulfing everything in its path.
Mu Xue felt an unstoppable force that pushed her out a few hundred meters away before she managed to stabilize her body. Her eyes were filled with shock.
"Is this the legendary Long Chen?" "This is too scary!"
When she first met Long Chen, he had been at the Meridian Condensation period. Long Chen had only been channeling his spiritual energy into a new meridian. The natural aura he was emitting was something even she couldn’t resist. How powerful was Long Chen’s true strength?
At the same time, she also finally understood why Long Chen kept rejecting them. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad and self-deprecating. If she could pull god-like person into this mercenary group, then they would be the only ones who would do such a foolish thing.
Mu Xue was pushed back, while the Meridian Opening Realm martial artists were sent flying by the blast. Thankfully, Long Chen’s aura was only released naturally, and did not contain any other energy, so they were only sent flying without being injured.
The expert that had fought Long Chen was also knocked back several dozen feet. His face was filled with shock as he protected Luo Zhongsheng behind him with the other Xiantian realm experts.
As the aura entered his new meridians, Long Chen immediately felt as if his body had been rejuvenated. The bones in his body let out a series of explosive sounds, as if he were happily moaning.
As the spiritual energy coursed through his meridians, Long Chen felt as if his body was filled with an endless amount of energy.
If the meridian that originally circulated energy was a small canal, then the meridian that Long Chen now had was a raging Yangtze River. There was simply no comparison between the two.
"Phew!"
The blood-red saber was swung at his shoulder. Long Chen looked at the six people in front of him and said faintly, “You were very aggressive just now, but now you’ve become frosted eggplants?”
Previously, the six of them had treated the Mu Xue Mercenary Group as fish that they could slaughter. However, now, in front of Long Chen, their faces were filled with fear. Compared to before, it was simply ridicule.
“Let’s attack together and get rid of him!”
The few of them looked at each other and suddenly shouted. They all took out their weapons and rushed towards Long Chen, trying to kill him with all their might.
The five Xiantian Realm experts attacked together. They circulated their Xiantian Energy and caused the world to rumble. Their auras were like mountains. The five weapons attacked Long Chen at the same time.
The corners of Long Chen’s mouth curled into a cold smile. He waved the crimson long saber in his hand forward and a blood-red light appeared.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, the earth shattered. The five Xiantian Realm experts were sent flying backwards like a rolling gourd as they all spat out a large mouthful of blood.
This scene made everyone tremble with fear. A one against five, an Meridian Opening Realm martial artist. A single slash and five defeats, just how powerful was this?
The Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s soldiers felt their blood boil. This was the first time they had seen such a terrifying Meridian Opening realm expert. He was simply a god-like existence.
They had heard of the rumors in the Nine Mystical Palace before. However, the legends of that level were too far away from them. Today, they had finally seen what a true battle was like and what a true heaven’s pride level expert was like.
After knocking everyone back with a single slash, a satisfied smile appeared on Long Chen’s face. His new meridian channels were just too powerful.
The spiritual energy circulating in his meridians gave Long Chen an incomparable amount of power. This feeling was simply too great.
One step forward, and the saber slashed down.
Puff.
The Xiantian Realm expert who took the initiative to attack Long Chen previously was in the midst of vomiting blood. He didn’t even have the chance to block before his head was chopped off and blood splattered everywhere.
When the head of the dragon flew up to the sky, Long Chen had already rushed to the front of the second person and chopped down with his blood-red saber once again.
The powerhouse of the spear hastily raised his spear to block, but what happened next shocked everyone. Ancient runes lit up on the blood-red long blade, and the spear was cut in half.
"No!"
Puff.
He let out a despairing cry, but he did not change anything. The blood-red blade fell on the Xiantian Realm expert, and all of a sudden, he stopped moving. From his brow to his lower abdomen, a bloody wound appeared, and he suddenly fell to the ground in two pieces.
Long Chen didn’t even look at the man and charged towards the third person. The blood-red blade in his hand was filled with saber Qi.
"Breaking Wind Slash!"
That person hurriedly tried to block it, but he was still cut into a bloody mist by the saber Qi that filled the sky, leaving not even his corpse.
"Bastard, die!"
Long Chen killed three people in a row. The remaining two people let out a loud shout and countless runes lit up on their weapons. A terrifying pressure radiated in all directions.
“Crap, they activated a Xiantian weapon!” The members of Mu Xue’s mercenary group could not help but have their expressions change.
“I feel that it’s more appropriate for all of you to die!”
Long Chen thrust the blood-red saber in his hand into the ground, and with a stretch of his left hand, an azure light flew out.
The green light was only palm-sized when it flew out, but by the time it reached the two of them, it had already expanded to a size of three hundred meters.
It was an enormous scale. Its speed was as fast as lightning. From Long Chen’s attack to the two men’s approach, not even a blink of an eye had passed.
The two of them had activated their Xiantian weapons, but it would take some time for their weapons to attack. However, Long Chen hadn’t given them that time.
Pu pu
When the enormous scales sliced through the bodies of the two people, they were instantly turned into fine powder by the powerful aura emanating from the scales.
"Clang!"
The two Xiantian weapons fell to the ground like muffled thunder, heavily striking people’s hearts.
"Plop!"
Suddenly, there was another sound. Everyone turned their heads and saw a round thing rolling on the ground.
It was the head of the first person that Long Chen had killed. At this moment, it fell to the ground. For a moment, there was complete silence.
"Phew!"
Long Chen swung the blood on his blood-red saber. He placed it on his shoulder and walked towards Luo Zhongsheng, who was already trembling from head to toe.
Chapter 552 - Smuggling
.
Seeing Long Chen walk towards him, Luo Zhongsheng was so scared that his face turned pale and his entire body trembled. He didn’t even have the courage to run.
Back then, he had personally witnessed Long Chen’s ruthlessness. With just his strength alone, he had swept away all the geniuses of both the Righteous and Evil Sects. When the blade was pointed out, blood flowed like a river, and he was already scared out of his wits.
"I… "I …"
Puff.
Long Chen’s long blade turned into a streak of blood-red lightning and beheaded Luo Zhongsheng. Long Chen held Luo Zhongsheng’s head and said with an apologetic expression:
“I’m sorry, but I don’t like to talk rubbish, so I had to interrupt you!”
"Plop!"
Only then did Luo Zhongsheng’s headless body slowly fall to the ground. The sound was very soft, but everyone’s hearts were trembling.
Whether it was the Iron Blood Mercenary Group or the Mu Xue Mercenary Group, everyone looked at Long Chen in horror. Killing people while chatting was too scary.
Long Chen’s expression remained calm throughout, but it was even more frightening than his ferocious appearance. This was because his ferocious appearance often represented anger. Killing because of anger was not scary at all.
However, Long Chen’s killing intent remained as tranquil as water. He had killed five Xiantian Realm experts in a row and hadn’t even batted an eyelid with the young master of the Giant Hawk Castle.
Even the mercenaries who had been licking blood with their sabers felt their scalps go numb. The domineering attitude displayed by Long Chen made their hearts shiver.
The experts of Mu Xue’s mercenary group looked at Long Chen, their hearts filled with reverence. At the same time, they felt a trace of unfamiliarity.
Carrying human flesh with his left hand, he pointed his long saber at Zhao Qingyun, causing his face to turn ashen. In that instant, the entire Iron Blood Mercenary Company fell into despair.
Long Chen had been too ruthless just now. In just a few breaths’ time, he had killed the five Xiantian realm experts and Luo Zhongsheng. They did not have the chance to escape and no one dared to move, as if they were awaiting a death sentence.
“The martial arts world has its rules. I shouldn’t have interfered in the mercenary wars, but your actions today were against the rules.” Long Chen said to Zhao Qingyun.
There were all sorts of circles in this world. Normally, fights within the circles would never involve forces outside of them.
For example, the scholars’ civil strife, the merchants’ dispute, and the struggles within the circle, all depended on one’s own strength to resolve. However, if someone asked someone outside the circle to intervene, it would be extremely despicable.
If the Iron-Blood Mercenary Group only targeted the Mu Xue Mercenary Group, then it would be a battle within the circle no matter what methods they used. However, he was willing to become a lackey of the Great Eagle Castle and act as their spy to monitor the Mu Xue Mercenary Group.
They had broken this rule. In that case, the outsider Long Chen would have a reason to stand up and attack them.
As he thought of this, Zhao Qingyun’s heart sank to the bottom. Against Long Chen, he had no chance at all.
"I, Zhao Qingyun, am responsible for this all by myself. This has nothing to do with my brother. If you want to kill me, kill me. Please let my brother go!" Zhao Qingyun said loudly.
"Captain!"
The experts of the Iron Blood Mercenaries couldn’t help but cry out in surprise. They hadn’t thought that the captain would be willing to sacrifice himself to help them.
Even the people from the Mu Xue Mercenary Group couldn’t help but feel their hearts tremble. They didn’t think that Zhao Qingyun would have such courage at such a crucial moment. Everyone actually couldn’t bear to see this.
“Forget it, stop acting. Is a gentleman trying to bully him?” Did you think I would let you off softly? Don’t play such childish tricks. You can’t fool me.
I, Long Chen, am not a gentleman. In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world. One is my friend, the other is my enemy.
Your hypocritical spirit of loyalty wants to win my sympathy and ask me to spare your life. You have wasted your energy because I never wanted to kill you in the first place. "Long Chen said faintly.
“Really?” A look of ecstasy appeared on Zhao Qingyun’s face. The previous generosity disappeared in an instant.
"F * ck, so despicable! I was almost tricked!" An expert from the Mu Xue Mercenary Group cursed in a low voice.
The other experts of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group couldn’t help but shake their heads. They had also thought of a way to appreciate each other. They hadn’t thought that this guy would be pretending. They had been fooled.
Zhao Qingyun also realized that his transformation was too fast and did not match up to his previous performance. It revealed his true feelings, but he no longer cared because Long Chen had promised not to kill him.
"Leave behind your spatial rings, and then scram!" Long Chen lazily said as he raised his blood-red long saber to his shoulder.
“What?” “Our interspatial ring is all we have!” Zhao Qingyun’s expression changed drastically.
“I don’t like to talk nonsense.” Long Chen gestured at the head in his hand. Long Chen had also told Luo Zhongsheng the same thing.
When he saw Long Chen’s actions, Zhao Qingyun shivered. Although he was a bit unwilling, he still took out his spatial ring in the end.
“Don’t give it to me. Just give it to Guild Leader Mu Xue. I am also a member of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group. Hand it over to her. If I can’t hold back from embezzling a bit, my Guild Leader will kick me to death.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Mu Xue’s face reddened as she glared at Long Chen. At the same time, she was incomparably moved. Long Chen had actually admitted that he was a member of Mu Xue’s mercenary group because of the Mu Xue mercenary group.
Long Chen only admitted it verbally, but everyone knew that with Long Chen’s strength, how could he possibly join a mercenary group? This was to build up the Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s momentum, allowing them to become the peak existence in the mercenary world.
If even an existence like Long Chen had been a member of Mu Xue’s mercenary group before, then the Mu Xue mercenary group would have to increase its strength in the future. Who knew how many people would want to desperately push their way in.
At the same time, she also understood the reason why Long Chen didn’t kill Zhao Qing Yun. He wanted Mu Xue to personally avenge them as they had been suppressed by the Iron Blood Mercenaries in the past. This hatred had been stored in her heart for a long time and she needed to personally avenge them.
Perhaps the current her was still no match for Zhao Qingyun. Not only that, Zhao Qingyun had great influence in the mercenary world, and had a lot of supporters as well.
However, Mu Xue needed only one or two months to refine the crystal bone. It was enough to sweep through the mercenary world. The reason why Long Chen said his name was to protect Mu Xue’s mercenary group for a few months.
With Long Chen as a tree, no one would dare to set their eyes on them in the near future. After Long Chen left, Mu Xue had already refined the crystal bone and was no longer afraid of anyone.
Furthermore, he had received the spatial rings from Zhao Qingyun and the others. Most likely, half of Zhao Qingyun’s assets were in the spatial ring. For a short period of time, he would not have the strength to fight back.
Long Chen had already calculated all the steps before and after for her. This made her feel an inexplicable sense of gratitude towards Long Chen.
Seeing the captain hand over the Space Ring, the rest of the mercenaries all had bitter expressions on their faces.
"Hahaha, you deserve it. When you were suppressing us, all of you were dragging us like emperors. Now you have turned into a gray grandson, you deserve it!" The soldiers of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group felt satisfied and relieved.
When the Mu Xue Mercenary Group was established, there were more than a hundred people, but they were suppressed by the Iron Blood Mercenaries. They all left one by one, leaving only twenty people behind.
Even if there were only twenty or so people left, the Iron Blood Mercenary Company was not the least bit lenient and wanted to completely destroy them. If it weren’t for the words of the experts from the Mo Clan, the Mu Xue Mercenary Group would have collapsed long ago.
The reason the experts from Mo Gate disliked them was because the Iron-Blood Mercenary Group had not only pushed and suppressed the Mu Xue Mercenary Group in the mercenary world, they had also used external strength to forcefully break up the Mu Xue Mercenary Group.
It was precisely because Zhao Qingyun had set his eyes on Mu Xue that Mu Xue had firmly rejected him. For a bit of selfishness and to persecute others, the experts of Mo Sect stood up and said that they would protect Mu Xue’s mercenary group.
In this period of time, Mu Xue’s mercenary group didn’t have a good time either. Zhao Qingyun didn’t dare to use his power, so he pushed Mu Xue around inside the mercenary group. It was very difficult for them to get a lucrative mission, and most of them relied on killing magical beasts and harvesting precious medicines to exchange for cultivation resources.
However, the harsh environment had tempered everyone’s will. At the same time, it had also proven the trust between them. The Mu Xue Mercenary Group was so reliable, like a family.
Mu Xue looked at the hundred rings in her hands, her heart was excited, the wealth inside was a number that exceeded her imagination.
This was especially so for Zhao Qingyun’s spatial ring. There was a mountain of spirit stones, countless pills, and quite a few battle skills and cultivation techniques. These were all things that Zhao Qingyun had left behind over the years.
No wonder when Zhao Qingyun handed over the ring, he had clearly wanted to pretend to be indifferent, but his face looked like his father had just died.
Seeing that the Iron Blood Mercenaries had left, everyone stood there like wooden logs. Long Chen laughed.
"Why are you looking at me like a stupid deer, aren’t you going to clean up the battlefield? Those Xiantian Realm experts were all so rich!
When everyone heard this, they finally reacted and hastily ran towards the corpses. With more people, they quickly found the four Space Rings and the two undamaged weapons.
There should have been six interspatial rings, but two had been destroyed by Long Chen during the battle.
Only the last two weapons remained. One of them was a long sword shining with a cold light, the other was a strange weapon — — hook. It looked like a long sword had been bent over.
However, no matter what, the two of them were Xiantian level weapons and they were worth quite a sum of money. That long sword in particular was exactly what Mu Xue needed the most at this moment.
There was no need to mention the Space Rings. Luo Zhongsheng’s rich second generation Space Rings were much richer than the entire Iron Blood Mercenary Company.
"Long Chen …" Upon seeing the crowd present their spoils of war, Mu Xue asked hesitantly.
“I don’t need these things. If there’s anything that can be used, everyone needs it. If there’s anything that can’t be used, just keep it or sell it. Remember to invite me to a building or a pavilion.”
"Idiot from the Great Eagle Castle, you dare to compete with my sect? Are you courting death?" Suddenly, an angry roar sounded out and several figures from the distance charged over.
Chapter 553
.
There were a total of seven people. The leader was wearing a black cloak that obscured his appearance. However, when Long Chen saw that figure, he couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s the young sect master of the Mo Clan!” The experts of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group could not help but cry out in alarm.
Because in the entire Azure Province, the outfit that one liked to wear a black cloak and also liked to cover half of their face was a special symbol of Mo Nian.
They did not expect that this matter would alarm the young sect master of the Mo Clan to personally take action. The crowd couldn’t help but feel touched. Mo Nian was known as the number one person of the younger generation in the Azure Province.
“Luo Zhongsheng, if I don’t chop off your head today, I won’t be called Mo Nian today.” Mo Nian’s speed was extremely fast, and when she spoke, she was still hundreds of miles away. After she spoke, she had already arrived.
“You still like Horse Shooter so much. I’ve already chopped off his head for you. Here!” Suddenly, his hand trembled and a head flew out towards Mo Nian.
Mo Nian was originally angry as he rushed over, but as he approached, he realized that something was wrong. Before he could react, he heard Long Chen’s voice and thought he had misheard him.
"Pa!"
A pitch-black object flew over, and Mo Nian casually grabbed it.
"Long Chen, fuck me! You finally decided to come and find me!" Mo Nian threw the head to the side and said with a face full of joy.
"Hahaha!"
The two of them suddenly laughed out loud and gave each other a big hug. Last time, it had been several months since they parted ways. Now that both of them had reached the Meridian Opening Realm, they were overjoyed.
"Long Chen, how did you get here?" Mo Nian saw that Long Chen was actually with the Mu Xue Mercenary Group and was even wearing the uniform of the Mu Xue Mercenary Group. She could not help but feel puzzled.
“Hehe, don’t mention it. I was being chased by a group of bastards. If it weren’t for the Mu Xue Mercenary Group, I’m afraid I’d still be walking around the mountains.” Long Chen said.
"You were actually hunted down? Tell me, who has such a sense of justice? " Mo Nian was somewhat surprised.
This thought almost made the Mu Xue Mercenary Group’s members lie down in laughter. Long Chen’s face darkened. “Brat, you want to fight, right?”
"Hehe, I was merely joking around. Exactly who has the courage to touch Long Chen?" Mo Nian asked curiously.
“Let’s not talk about it for now. You’ve got a stomach full of fire. Come, let me introduce you. This is …”
“Haha, this is Guild Leader Mu Xue. I have known her since a long time ago. Long Chen, don’t think that you’re being sentimental.” Mo Nian laughed.
“Guild Leader Mu Xue, you should be careful. This kid Long Chen can’t do anything else, but his ability to pick up girls is peerless in this world. About that, be careful of your safety!”
"Mo Nian, you f * cker!" Long Chen was furious. This brat was purposely destroying Long Chen.
"Long Chen, are you calling me?" Behind Mo Nian, there was a burly man with a steel beard and surging aura. He looked at Long Chen and smiled.
Long Chen stared at the man in a daze. This man was seventy percent the same as Mo Nian’s father. Moreover, in terms of age, he seemed to be slightly older than Mo Nian’s father.
“Heh heh, uncle, he’s calling you that. Look at that kid’s eyes, he’s obviously looking down on you with a provocative gaze. If you don’t teach him a lesson, I’ll look down on you …” Mo Nian winked.
"Pa!"
As soon as Mo Nian finished his sentence, he was slapped on the back of his head by his uncle, and scolded, "You should be taught a lesson for plotting against your uncle.
"Alright, it seems like coming here is unnecessary. In the future, we will be under the rule of you youngsters. We will return first. You guys can play first and accompany the guests."
Mo Nian’s uncle looked at the corpses on the ground and could not help but sigh in his heart. With his sharp eyes, he could tell with a single glance that those people had been killed by absolute power. That was why he felt regretful later on.
He walked in front of Long Chen, looked at him with admiration, and patted him on the shoulder. "Qi and blood are like the sea, your body is like a dragon, Yun Shan is right, Long Chen, you are definitely an exceptional genius. When the two of you are together, you can do whatever you want in the Azure Province.
Alright, since you two are together, I am relieved. Uncle, let’s go first. You guys have had enough fun, remember to go home! "
"Uncle, take care!" Long Chen hastily saluted.
Seeing that the experts from the Mo family had left, Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh, “Mo Nian, your uncle is a pretty good one.”
"Come on, just because he slapped me, didn’t he vent your anger? “You’re just a despicable scumbag who takes advantage of the situation!” Mo Nian said angrily.
“It’s better to add insult to injury than to despicably frame someone. At the very least, in terms of realm, Mo Nian, you’ve fallen to a lower rank than her!” Long Chen said indifferently.
"About that, I’m sorry, but can I interrupt? “I’ll give you the crystal core of the Underground Spider. Young Sect Master Mo, you can cancel the Mercenary Union’s mission.” Mu Xue saw the two of them talking back and forth, and did not know when they would stop, so she hurriedly said.
"The crystal core of a hidden spider? You guys actually found it? " Mo Nian almost jumped in joy.
The reason he came here was because he learned that the idiots of the three big powers of the Great Eagle Castle had gone everywhere to stop the mercenaries from collecting the crystal cores of the Underground Spiders.
Today, the disciples of the Mo Sect had received the news of the Great Eagle Sect’s experts coming out. Without even thinking, one could already tell what they were up to.
He had never thought that the Mu Xue Mercenary Group would be able to obtain the crystal core of a Underground Spider. This made him ecstatic; it was the treasure he needed the most right now.
Mo Nian was extremely excited as she took the Underground Spider Core Mu Xue handed over. "Guild Leader Mu Xue, thank you so much. I will pay three times the original amount. No, I will give you ten times the cost for your revenge."
The Mercenary Union was a platform for accepting missions, whether it was issuing missions or paying rewards after completing them, both guilds would receive 5% of the reward.
Although a portion of the equipment had been removed, without a platform like the Mercenary Guild, everyone’s supply and demand would be limited, so everyone was willing to operate on the Mercenary Guild’s platform.
However, the Mercenary Union only accepted the promised reward for giving out the mission. As for the reward that the boss was willing to pay, that was a problem for the boss and they would not charge any more.
“Forget about the reward. If it wasn’t for the Mo Gate, our Mu Xue Mercenary Group would have collapsed and collapsed. We only owe them one more favor this time.”
Mu Xue glanced at Long Chen and said, “Also, our Mu Xue Mercenary Group doesn’t lack much money right now, so don’t mention the rewards!”
Mo Nian nodded and said, “That’s fine. I, Mo Nian, am not an emotional person. I will remember this favor. Come, let’s go into the city and have a feast at the restaurant I open.”
“You know how to open a restaurant?” Long Chen couldn’t help but be surprised.
“How fresh it is! What’s so good about running a restaurant? As long as you have money, you can do it. Nonsense! Everyone come with me. Let’s have a good celebration today!” Mo Nian pulled Long Chen and a group of people as they ran towards the Azure Continent.
Qingzhou City was the largest city in the region, and it was also the city of the Azure Province. Qingzhou City was the largest city in the region, and it was also the city of the Azure Province.
It was Long Chen’s first time coming to such a big city. Although the Xuantian Monastery was the strongest power in the prefecture, it was still a sect that was far away from the clamor.
Long Chen had never seen any of the cities in the Spirit Province. However, when he saw the city, although Long Chen was prepared in his heart, he still felt quite shocked.
This ancient city was just like a sleeping savage beast that was emitting an ancient and desolate dao sound.
However, on the main street, there were many pedestrians and carriages on the street. The width of the street was over three thousand feet, and there were many warriors coming and going.
However, Long Chen discovered that although these cultivators had high cultivation bases, their auras were not strong. They should have been formed from medicinal pills, so their true combat abilities were very weak.
Long Chen knew that these people were all rogue cultivators. Without a sect to nurture them, they could only rely on themselves to earn cultivation resources. That was why they acted in such a manner.
"How is it? It is indeed bustling. Compared to your Xuantian Branch, our Qingzhou City is only a slightly bigger prison.
Look at the countless pedestrians, the swarms of cultivators, the countless beauties, the bustling during the day, and the singing during the night — that’s life. Hehe, what do you think? “Why don’t we just leave and hang around with this brother of ours? It’ll definitely be better than staying in the Xuantian Branch,” Mo Nian said in an extremely alluring tone.
He had to admit that being born and entering society, the latter made one’s heart beat even more. This was because in this mundane world, people would feel a sense of superiority.
This was because the cultivators here were too weak. Any ordinary disciple from the Xuantian department would be able to find the loneliness of finding an opponent of the same cultivation level here.
Mu Xue and the rest followed Mo Nian and Long Chen as they listened to their conversation. Looking at their backs, they couldn’t help but sigh.
Both of them represented two peerless geniuses of the two provinces. In front of them, no matter how strong the geniuses were, they would lose their luster.
“Did you see that? Along the way, how many beauties have cast gazes of admiration at me? Aren’t you jealous?” Mo Nian looked calm, but there was a hint of pride in her voice.
“I’m not envious. You’re just secretly satisfied. It’s not like you dare to hook up with them. What’s the use?” Long Chen said with a look of disdain.
When they were in the Nine Li Secret Realm, Mo Nian had once asked Long Chen about how they could get along peacefully.
At that time, Mo Nian said with great distress that he had a fiancée, and that she was very close to him, and did not allow him to go out and hook up with her, which caused him great distress.
This kid probably forgot about this matter. However, Long Chen had a good memory. He could only look and didn’t dare to eat it. He didn’t even dare to touch it. Why was he acting so haughty? Was there even a need to be envious?
“Hahaha! Jealousy! It must be jealousy. I knew that you wouldn’t be able to eat grapes, so just say they’re sour!” Mo Nian didn’t mind as she laughed loudly.
Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond to him. He slowly walked forward as he sized up this bustling and ancient city, creating a completely different atmosphere.
“Heh heh, I’ve arrived. I saw that this is the restaurant I opened – Huiying Tower. It’s a gathering of all the heroes of the world. How about it? Its name is grand and elegant, not bad right?” Mo Nian pointed to a 100m tall building by the side of the road as he spoke with a complacent expression.
Long Chen raised his head to look. The restaurant was very luxurious and grand. It was indeed not bad, but when he saw the couplet in front of the door, his face was filled with disdain.
