Chapter 499 - Ling Yunzi’s Challenge
Mobile Read
"You little scoundrel, causing me to almost make a fool of myself!"
Shui Wuhen said angrily to Long Chen in a quiet room. The current Shui Wuhen no longer had his former dignity, but more like a big sister reprimanding Long Chen.
This was Shui Wuhen’s training room. Normally, she would go into seclusion and would never receive anyone. Long Chen was the first person to come here.
However, as soon as Long Chen entered, he was immediately scolded by Shui Wuhen. Long Chen suddenly realized that Shui Wuhen’s departure was not because of a restriction being triggered. It was just an excuse. She could not hold it in and slipped away to snicker.
As the head of the generation, if Shui Wuhen were to laugh in front of everyone, it would be dishonorable and disgraceful. That was why he had started to criticize Long Chen the moment he entered.
She then laughed out loud, shook her head and said, “You are such a little devil, don’t you have time to be afraid?”
Long Chen’s guts were simply too great. Long Chen had slapped Sha Tonghai four times in a row. If Sha Tonghai went berserk, then Long Chen would be able to kill Sha Tonghai without a care for anything else.
"Of course I am. However, I am definitely not afraid of them. They are just a bunch of vile people who fear death. I believe that they do not have the courage to kill me."
Furthermore, even if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t be able to win. I don’t believe that you will sit here and watch him demolish the house. That will be equivalent to slapping your face! "Long Chen chuckled.
“You brat, you’re really too evil. Even I came to scheme against you, so even if you agreed, I would still protect you?” Shui Wuhen said.
“Of course, what happened just now was a trivial matter. You must protect me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have saved me back then.” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Oh you? Sometimes I feel that you’re frighteningly smart and sometimes you’re terribly stupid. I don’t know if you’re smart or if you’re stupid …” Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen and sighed.
"There is a smart side to me and a foolish side to me. However, my smart side is left to my enemies. My silly side is also left to my brothers by my side." Long Chen said.
Shui Wuhen could not help feeling slightly shaken. Long Chen was indeed speaking the truth. Long Chen had terrifying intelligence and a pair of eyes that could easily see through a conspiracy.
But even so, he would always do something incomprehensible, just like the incident at the First Monastery.
When Long Chen went, he only accompanied everyone to their deaths. He acted like a boorish fellow and was extremely foolish. However, this was what Long Chen did.
No one could figure out how Long Chen’s brain had grown up. Furthermore, Long Chen had even passed on his foolish actions to someone else.
As the Sect Master, Ling Yunzi actually started a massacre for a disciple, continuously massacring the Sect Master without sparing his life.
When Long Chen said this, Shui Wuhen could not help but feel moved. Foolishness was sometimes the most precious thing in human nature.
“That headmaster, you didn’t really leave me here to slam my board, did you?” Long Chen probed.
“Indeed, we should hit you so hard that you can restrain yourself. Otherwise, I won’t be able to stop myself!” Shui Wuhen said fiercely.
Hearing Shui Wuhen’s words, Long Chen felt a lot more at ease. As long as they weren’t wearing small shoes for him, it would be fine.
"Long Chen, I have high hopes for you. When you grow up, you will definitely become an earth-shattering character. But your temper …" Shui Wuhen could not help but shake her head.
“I’m just like this. Unless I die, I won’t change myself!” Long Chen said helplessly.
At the same time, he felt somewhat helpless in his heart. He had to continue like this, this was the path of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique.
Last time, when Lu Fang’er and Ye Zhiqiu had fallen, Long Chen had completely understood. If he still refused the guidance of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique, he would lose even more comrades.
Now Ye Zhiqiu had a chance at life, but Lu Fang’er had perished forever. Although Lu Fang’er kept saying that she was the one who had taken the lead, that she was a appendage of Meng Qi.
However, she was a pure woman. If she liked someone, she would be brave enough to admit it. In the beginning, Long Chen did not approve of such feelings.
But when Lu Fang’er left, that kind of heart-piercing pain caused him to be tormented. Lu Fang’er’s death had completely awakened him. He could not continue shrinking like this, or else the people around him would die one by one.
Thus, the current Long Chen was doing whatever he wanted to do. He was being unscrupulous. He needed to nurture his domineering aura and use bloody methods to intimidate his enemies. "Woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~"
After Long Chen made this decision, Long Chen felt that his state of mind had suddenly become clearer. He could see things more clearly and more deeply.
"Well, I’m not trying to change you, you know? “Ling Yunzi came to find me before he left?” Shui Wuhen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he said it out loud.
"The Sect Leader came to look for me. Eh, could it be …" Long Chen looked at Shui Wuhen, who looked to be only twenty-five or twenty-six but was so beautiful that no one dared to blaspheme her, and became slightly bewildered.
"You … Being stared at by Long Chen’s strange gaze, Shui Wuhen stretched out his hand to give Long Chen a shot with his chestnut as he angrily said, “You really are asking for a beating. What are you thinking about?”
"Ling Yunzi and I are people from different generations. How can a little brain like yours pretend to be full of whimsical things all day?"
"Ah?" "What a pity." Long Chen rubbed his head and could not help but feel a bit regretful.
“You are truly a shameless person. When I became famous, Ling Yunzi wasn’t even born yet. Besides, how could the people who pursue cultivation lose their minds for a girl, like you?” Shui Wuhen shook his head. However, a trace of pain flashed across her beautiful eyes when she said this.
Long Chen’s heart trembled. He was afraid Shui Wuhen had a story too. He quickly shut his mouth. It was better to know less about such gossip than to be silenced. It would not be worth it.
"Actually, Ling Yunzi came here to challenge me." Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen and said with a slight smile.
“What?” Isn’t he asking for a beating? " Long Chen couldn’t help but click his tongue. Xantian realm, how could he challenge the Sea Opening Realm?
Although Long Chen didn’t know what the concept of the Sea Opening Realm was, once Tian Shui Wu Hen appeared, the world trembled and a terrifying pressure covered the entire Monastery.
Under that pressure, Long Chen felt like he was an ant, unable to resist at all.
As for those Xantian realm experts, although they could kill Long Chen, the difference in their might was simply too great. There was no way to compare with them.
And Ling Yunzi had challenged Shui Wuhen before he left? Was he about to ascend to the heavens? The Sect Leader has done enough, he wants to become the Sect Leader?
"I lost in the end," Shui Wuhen said faintly.
"What?"
Long Chen almost jumped up. How was this possible?
"We only used one attack. I lost in that attack, and we did not use a second attack. There is no longer any meaning in it. He only showed it to me." Shui Wuhen said.
"Show what?" Long Chen hastily asked.
"He said that he had obtained countless benefits from you. He showed me his results, and that sword strike was indeed very brilliant.
Shui Wuhen sighed and a tinge of shock appeared in his eyes, as if that sword had appeared again.
The sword was filled with an aura of destruction. The sword of absolute destruction cut through the heavens. It was a sword of absolute god and absolute devil, causing the heavens to tremble.
Although that sword attack was just the rudimentary form of sword intent, it already possessed the will to destroy everything. Even now, Shui Wuhen was still shocked by the power of that sword attack. How did he comprehend such a terrifying sword attack?
“I’m a bit dazed when I hear that.” Long Chen bitterly smiled.
“With your intellect, you’re still in a daze. Very well, then, just stay a while longer.” Shui Wuhen continued with a slight smile.
"Ling Yunzi was actually doing this for my own good. He hoped that I could treat you well, and said that if I plant good intentions into you, I will definitely obtain good results in the future."
Long Chen could not help but feel moved. Before Ling Yunzi left, he was still worried about him. When he came to Shui Wuhen, he asked Shui Wuhen to take care of him.
However, Long Chen did not know that Ling Yunzi was extremely daring. He had actually absorbed the destructive power from Long Chen’s lightning tribulation.
One must know that when that power is absorbed into one’s body, the additional destructive power would destroy one’s Dao foundation. If one were to make a mistake, one would become a cripple.
Yet Ling Yunzi actually nourished this strand of destructive energy within his body, and successfully comprehended a part of the true meaning of the Way of Destruction. He then fused it into his own Sword Truth, which became his own unique Way of the Annihilation.
After comprehending the Way of the Annihilation, Ling Yunzi saw an even wider sky, and was prepared to pursue an even higher realm.
However, the only thing he was worried about was Long Chen. Although he knew that Long Chen was an anomaly, he wouldn’t die at the hands of others.
However, the legends were not to be believed. He did not wish to hear the news of Long Chen’s death while he pursued the path of the higher sword.
Therefore, before he left, he came to find Shui Wuhen. No matter what, Shui Wuhen was still his savior, and at the same time, he felt that Shui Wuhen was not an evil person.
“In that case, I’ll thank the headmaster!” Long Chen hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
“Brat, your skin is quite thick. I didn’t say that I must take care of you. Why are you thanking me so urgently?” Shui Wuhen could not help but laugh.
“You have already started taking care of me. If it wasn’t for you, I would have already gone to another world to cause trouble. Thank you is only right.” Long Chen said with a smile.
"You really know how to talk. No wonder those girls were coaxed around by you." Shui Wuhen rolled his eyes at Long Chen and shook his head.
“But let me tell you, don’t think that just because I’ve promised to take care of you, you’re bringing trouble to me. Calm down and don’t cause trouble, or I’ll lock you up!” Shui Wuhen warned.
After making contact with her twice, she had experienced Long Chen’s fearless personality. He was capable of thinking all sorts of things out of the blue and had even created some tricks for you.
This time, he had actually slapped the other party’s head a few times in front of her. Even Shui Wuhen, who had lived for so long, would not dare to imagine this.
Not only did Long Chen do this, he could also make the other party admit defeat and give up on his investigation. Such a person would either not cause trouble, or would cause a disaster. She had to first beat him up to prevent him from going to heaven.
"Leaving you behind is because I have some news for you. Do you want to know more about Yin Luo?" Shui Wuhen said.

Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen and said, “I’ve mainly told you that I’ve asked you to stay behind this time. The information I’ve gotten is about Yin Luo and the others.”
Long Chen’s eyes lit up. The last time, Long Chen had caused such a huge disturbance in the Nine Li Secret Realm. The two peak powerhouses of both the positive and evil had been cut down by Long Chen as if he was cutting leek…
This was because those that attacked Long Chen were all experts, and Long Chen had only killed those who believed themselves to have great abilities.
After such a long time had passed, Long Chen really wanted to know how these guys were doing. However, there was no news about them from Long Chen’s side.
Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen and sighed, "You are really ruthless. The Xuantian Monasteryl has now become the target of everyone.
Countless sects are accusing me of covering up for the executioners. There are even some sects who used the power behind their backs to bring your matter to the Xuan Dao Sect. The heavens have heard of it! "
The last time Long Chen killed a righteous expert, there were already hundreds of Martial Saints. As for the peak experts, there weren’t many left.
It could be said that the righteous sects of the seven prefectures had suffered a great loss in strength. If they had been injured by an evil expert, they would not have any complaints. However, they had all died by Long Chen’s hands.
"They actually have the cheek to denounce us? Only their people are allowed to kill me, so I can’t retaliate? " Long Chen sneered.
“But you’re too ruthless. They were all defeated in the end and you still chased after them with your life on the line. That’s why they feel dissatisfied.” Shui Wuhen said.
“Unsatisfied?” I don’t care if they are dissatisfied or not. Last time, we counted their luck because in order to kill Yin Luo and track Yan Wushuang, I let them escape this calamity.
If the teleportation gate opened even an hour later, I would have let all of them die in the secret realm forever, and each of them would have to pay for the mistakes they made.
If they feel wronged, then when Lu Fang’er and Ye Zhiqiu fell, who would I tell?
Those disciples of the Hua Yun Sect and Mo Men had died, who could they possibly blame for their grievances? “These people are just a bunch of idiots. Not killing them would let down their idiots’ IQ!” Long Chen became angrier as he spoke. Thinking of that big battle, Long Chen’s killing intent immediately boiled up. He wished he could revive those idiots and kill them again.
Long Chen didn’t think that he had provoked anyone, but this group of idiots, for the sake of a verbal promise from others, wanted to take revenge on his own conscience, so he raised his butcher’s knife towards his fellow sect members and mercilessly slaughtered them.
Now that they were killed, how could they still argue with him? He actually still wanted to report it and demand an explanation. This made Long Chen so angry that his face turned ashen.
“Alright, you’re still young, how can you be so angry? This is what happens in the entire path of justice. No one can change it. If you continue to act like this, you will be at a disadvantage.”
At the same time, she couldn’t help but sigh. Long Chen was indeed sometimes smart and sometimes stupid. Whenever someone involved with him was involved, he would be stubborn and forget about all his wisdom.
This wasn’t anything much. Long Chen’s temper had already exploded after just a few words. Shui Wuhen could only smile wryly; this child’s temper was too impetuous.
“I’m not afraid of the losses, but I absolutely cannot let the people around me suffer the losses. Whoever dares to deal with the people around me will be killed, until I kill these idiots until they feel pain and fear. Then, they won’t use their idiotic intelligence to challenge my patience.” Long Chen hatefully said.
Compared to the evil way, Long Chen loathed the despicable shamelessness of the righteous way. He was heartless and he hid a saber in his smile.
The damage they brought to Long Chen was even greater than the evil way. Furthermore, it was impossible to guard against and it caused people to hate them from the bottom of their hearts.
"But the entire righteous path is filled with this kind of atmosphere, how many can you kill?" Shui Wuhen said helplessly.
“It doesn’t matter how many I kill. In short, we’ve already embarked on the path of cultivation, and we’ve given it our all. How many cultivators are able to have a good ending?”
Since no one knew what would happen to them in the future, why wouldn’t they be willing to take revenge for their kindness and freedom? Why would they feel wronged?
“If anyone has the ability, step on my dead body and advance. I don’t care, but as long as I, Long Chen, am still alive, I will absolutely not allow anyone to harm the people around me.” Long Chen said.
Shui Wuhen fell silent for a moment, as if she had thought of something. She did not speak for a long time, but eventually sighed and said, “Forget it, let’s not continue this heavy topic. It’s a little farfetched. Let me tell you about the news I got.”
Let’s talk about Huo Wu Fang first. I don’t know what medicine you gave him, but it actually penetrated into his bone marrow, causing him to wish that he was dead.
The most frightening thing was that the poison entered deep into his bone marrow and could not be removed. Furthermore, it would absorb the nourishment of the spirit medicine in order to strengthen his body, causing the poison to become stronger and stronger.
By now, all the bones in Huo Wu Fang’s body had been shattered. He was like a pile of rotten meat lying on his bed, wailing non-stop. Just what kind of poison did you poison him with? Even so many Pill Dao Masters in the Pill Pagoda were helpless to do anything!
Shui Wuhen could not help but be surprised. Long Wu Chen’s methods were so strange that even the Pill Tower was unable to handle that poison. The Pill Tower was the highest level of alchemy in the world, and it actually couldn’t cure that poison?
"Actually, it’s not that the poison can’t be cured, it just needs a Rank 6 Spirit Pill to expel the poison.
However, this would only bring about two effects. The first was that Huo Wu Fang would likely go crazy from the pain. That kind of pain was not something that a normal person could withstand.
Secondly, even if Huo Wu Fang was able to endure it, the bone marrow poison, along with his soul, seemed to be a complete life form.
Once the bone marrow poison was forcefully removed, then the poison that was linked to Huo Wu Fang’s soul force would instantly wither and die.
And the withered poison would emit a poison called the Soul Star. This kind of poison would infect his sea of consciousness in an instant, and it would be even more terrifying than crippling his soul root, causing him to be completely unable to use his soul force.
Once he used his soul force, his head would be as painful as a needle. This poison couldn’t be removed, but it wasn’t fatal.
"However, Huo Wu Fang can no longer use his soul power to refine pills anymore. This is because refining pills requires one to use soul power, so in the future, he will have to give up on alchemy and become a martial artist." Long Chen explained.
Long Chen’s explanation sent chills down Shui Wuhen’s spine. Long Chen’s move was too ruthless. It was equivalent to crippling Huo Wu Fang’s pill cultivation. It was even more frightening than killing him.
"I know that you might not be able to bear it, but I felt it as a matter of course. When my beloved woman used her body to protect me, that smile on her face before dying caused the pain that I endured to be millions of times stronger than his.
It’s a pity that my cultivation was insufficient at that time. Otherwise, I would have used a method that was ten times more painful to deal with him. Otherwise, how would I have been able to face myself? " Long Chen gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"I hate the death of my love, but unfortunately, I have lived for too long. I have seen too many things, and I no longer know how to love or hate.
Because there is no love, so there is no hate, and there is no way to understand your feelings, so I have no right to comment on your actions.
Let’s get back to the main topic, now that Huo Wu Fang is half dead, the Huo Family is very angry, but Huo Wu Fang’s participation in the Evil and Righteous War has seriously violated the oath that Pill Tower will maintain neutrality, so they can only accept this loss.
However, the Huo Family wasn’t the kind of family where one would lose their teeth in a fight. After all, Huo Wu Fang was a highly valued genius in the Huo Family.
“It is very popular with the family head, and you have gone a little too far this time …” Don’t stare, I’m just being objective.
Your actions in the Huo family are a form of humiliation and a form of provocation. Although the Pill Tower is controlled by three great families, the Huo family still has the absolute right to speak.
Someone from the Dao Sect also came over and asked me if I could hand you over. He asked me if I could hand you over because I don’t want to make a ruckus with the Pill Tower just for a disciple. "
Hearing this, Long Chen’s eyes narrowed as the anger in his heart surged. What the f * ck? What the hell are you thinking of me? Throw it out just like that?
"You don’t need to be angry. This is a sect, and everything is based on the sect’s development. Anything that hinders the sect’s development and harms the sect’s interests will be ruthlessly dealt with by them.
Perhaps it was a little unreasonable, but it was basically the same for all sects. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to survive for so many years.
"However, my answer is that you are my disciple. No one can punish my disciple unless my disciple has done nothing wrong." Shui Wuhen said softly, but her voice was filled with determination.
Seeing that Long Chen wanted to speak, Shui Wuhen waved her hand and said, “You don’t have to thank me. I used to think of you as a pawn and moved you to Zhou Qingyu, and now that Zhou Qingyu has been executed, you helped me win a beautiful match. I naturally have to protect you, otherwise I, Shui Wuhen, would have become an ungrateful villain, no?”
“Zhou Qingyu is dead?” Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked.
"Hmph, I have collected all of her actions over the years. This time, she has committed another heinous crime, causing so many disciples to fall from exhaustion.
This time, even if her Zhou family is powerful, they won’t be able to protect her. The Zhou family and the Shui family have always been at odds, but this is a beautiful battle. I even got a compliment from the Patriarch. "Shui Wuhen’s face lit up with excitement, as if he was a happy young lady.
Long Chen’s heart sank when he heard this. There was a small fight and a great struggle. Regardless of realm or world, there would always be a bloody battlefield. This was the martial arts world, the world of cultivation.
No matter what realm he reached, the surroundings would always be filled with complicated relationships and constantly fighting. Was this the nature of a human?
Could it be that cultivation was all about fighting? Stomp the other party to death under his feet? But what could they do if they trampled an opponent to death? Once he reached that height, he would see more opponents. Was he going to have to keep stepping on them?
Long Chen coldly laughed in his heart. ‘I don’t care how much I care. Just fight for what you want. Just try your best not to provoke me.’
“That’s it for now on Huo Wu Fang’s side. With me protecting you, no one will dare do anything to you.”
Long Chen, let me ask you, are you willing to join my Zhou family? " Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen and said seriously.

“I’m sorry, Head Saint. I don’t want to go.” Long Chen shook his head.
“Long Chen, perhaps you don’t know how powerful my Zhou family is. Let me tell you …” Upon being rejected by Long Chen, Shui Wuhen was not angry at all as he said with a smile.
“Lord Headmaster, perhaps I should call you elder sister. This way, we should be more intimate. I don’t want to join the Zhou clan because I don’t want to be involved in the grudges of your clan.”
Maybe the reason why you tried to rope me in was for my own good, to have a better development in the Zhou family. At the same time, my growth was also a great help to the Zhou family.
But your Zhou family is so big, is it really the same? Was there no internal strife? If someone was against me, what would I do?
If elder sister is the head of your Zhou family, perhaps I will choose to join the Zhou family, because I can feel your trust and care for me.
"But elder sister, you are not. If one day I was in the Zhou Family, for the benefit of the family, and was given away as a sacrifice, elder sister, what would you do?" Long Chen looked at Shui Wuhen and said.
When Shui Wuhen first heard Long Chen call her elder sister, she almost laughed out loud. However, when she saw the sincerity on Long Chen’s face, she could not help but feel a little touched. She understood Long Chen’s personality a little.
Shui Wuhen had lived for so long, but this was the first time someone had been so sincere towards her. Even within the family, no one had ever trusted her so much.
However, Long Chen’s words caused Shui Wuhen’s heart to tremble. The clan was heartless, the sect was heartless, and in the face of benefits, all emotions were nothing.
And with Long Chen’s personality, if Shui Wuhen brought him to her own family, with Long Chen’s personality, although it could bring benefits to the family, it could also bring trouble.
The family would be beaming with joy after bringing in benefits, but once Long Chen got into trouble, when the trouble was greater than the benefits, the family would not hesitate to give up Long Chen, not to mention Long Chen, even she would be given up as well. This was the family.
If Long Chen entered the Zhou family, there would likely be two results. One was that Long Chen had been schemed to death by the Zhou family, and the other was that Long Chen was still alive, and the Zhou family …
When he thought of this, Shui Wuhen broke out in a cold sweat. She recalled Ling Yunzi’s reminder before he left — that was a kind reminder.
“I understand. I won’t force you to join. Also, thank you for the name. This name makes me very happy. I feel much younger now.” Shui Wuhen said with a smile.
Long Chen was relieved to see that Shui Wuhen was not displeased. If this matter displeased Shui Wuhen, then Long Chen could only leave the Monastery with everyone else.
And now, Long Chen was surrounded by enemies from all directions. He wasn’t afraid of others alone, especially the newly formed Dragon Blood Legion. It would be a fatal blow to him.
Even though Shui Wuhen had a high status and was very scheming in the beginning, Long Chen could tell that Shui Wuhen was naturally kind and trustworthy. That was why he had spoken out loud earlier.
“Hehe, I should be the one thanking my elder sister. With an elder sister like you around, wouldn’t I slap whoever I want to slap?” Long Chen said with an evil smile.
“You dare? Don’t use my name to do whatever you want with me. Otherwise, I’ll still take care of you!” Shui Wuhen warned.
"I was just joking. Am I that kind of person?" Long Chen awkwardly said.
Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen without a word, but the look in his eyes was one of disbelief.
After this incident, Shui Wuhen felt that her relationship with Long Chen had become a little closer, and she could speak a little more casually.
"The Huo family has given our branch family some small shoes. All of our pills were bought from the Pill Tower.
However, a few days ago, news came from below that when they went to the Pill Tower to purchase pills, the tower claimed that certain pills were out of stock and could only be supplied in limited quantities.
Hmph, these despicable people, you want to play this game with me, are you trying to show me off? “In any case, our side Monastery has a lot of stock. As long as they don’t refuse to supply, we will be able to hold on for a period of time.” Shui Wuhen sneered.
“Tsk, a bunch of fake medicine dealers dares to be so arrogant. They’re really courting death!” Long Chen also sneered.
"Selling fake medicine?" Shui Wuhen asked doubtfully.
"Elder sister, you might not know that the Bone Sacrifice Pill provided by the Pill Tower was tampered with. It could not be seen on the surface, but in reality, only half of the pill’s medicinal effect could be seen.
However, in the entire continent, only the Pill Pagoda sold Bone Sacrifice Pellets. This was a monopoly. Others did not have the recipe and could not refine it, so everyone was kept in the dark. "Long Chen explained.
"Are you for real?" Shui Wuhen was shocked.
"How fresh is it? Do I dare to lie to you, big sister? “Fine, since you don’t believe me, I’ll refine a furnace of pills for you to see!”
After Long Chen finished speaking, he took out the pill furnace and began to concoct pills in front of Shui Wuhen. Long Chen was skilled at concocting pills, and his speed was so fast that in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the lid was opened and the pill fragrance wafted in all directions.
"They are all of high quality? Long Chen, you are really a genius in pill concocting!" Shui Wuhen was shocked when he saw the nine plump high quality pills.
Even though she wasn’t a pill cultivator, she had lived for so many years and had never eaten pork or seen a pig run. Her pill refining speed was simply too fast, and each and every one of them were high-grade.
Long Chen had been concealing his mistake. If Long Chen were to concoct a batch of pills with dazzling patterns on it, Shui Wuhen would definitely be stupefied.
However, Long Chen didn’t want to be so flamboyant. He only needed to prove that there was a problem with the pill sold by the Pill Tower.
"Elder sister, look. This pill is of the same quality as the Bone Sacrifice Pellets sold at the Pill Tower, but the medicinal effects are absolutely different!" Long Chen said.
Shui Wuhen took out a Bone Sacrifice Pill and compared it with Long Chen’s Bone Sacrifice Pill. He asked doubtfully, “It looks the same, but the medicinal power is basically the same, I can’t see any difference. Also, I want to know, how did you manage to concoct the Bone Sacrifice Pill?”
One had to know that in the entire continent, only the Pill Pagoda had the recipe for the Bone Sacrifice Pill. It was a monopoly pill that brought the Pill Pagoda countless profits.
Countless people tried to break the Bone Sacrifice Pill’s pill formula, but it was simply too difficult. After someone cracked it, they discovered that it was impossible to condense the pill, or even the pill itself; it simply didn’t have the effect of a Bone Sacrifice.
And Long Chen was actually able to concoct a Bone Sacrifice Pill. This was even more shocking to Shui Wuhen than Long Chen, who was able to concoct a top-grade pill faster than the entire furnace.
“If it’s inconvenient, don’t say it. It’s alright!” Shui Wuhen said hurriedly. It was only now that she realized that it was taboo to ask about other people’s background.
“It’s nothing. I accidentally obtained the Bone Sacrifice Pellet in the Secret Realm. Moreover, I’m not planning on keeping it a secret …” Long Chen said with a faint smile.
Long Chen couldn’t speak the truth. He could only say that he had obtained it in a secret realm because it wasn’t rare to find treasures within a secret realm. Furthermore, Long Chen had placed the emphasis on the last sentence.
Sure enough, Shui Wuhen was shocked after hearing that. He quickly said, “Don’t act recklessly. If you publish the pill formula, you will be hunted down by the entire Pill Tower. No one will be able to protect you.”
The Pill Pagoda had monopolized the path of alchemy for many years, and the Bone Sacrifice Pellet was also their main pill. If Long Chen were to announce that the entire world knew of the Bone Sacrifice Pellet, then the Pill Pagoda would be dealt a serious blow.
“Why should I announce it? I’m only saying that I don’t want to keep it a secret. Even if a large amount of pills were to enter the cultivation world, they would not suspect me because there are already people standing up. Moreover, the auction for medicinal pills should have already begun by now.” Long Chen said with a smile.
"Could it be… "I understand. You used the Hua Yun Sect to sell the Bone Sacrifice Pellets." Shui Wuhen was suddenly enlightened.
Only the Hua Yun Sect would dare to oppose the Pill Tower. Long Chen’s actions were akin to stabbing the Pill Tower with a knife.
Long Chen wasn’t interested in the Pill Tower at all, and knew what was going on. Judging from Huo Wu Fang’s morals, he knew that the entire Pill Tower was a fellow who used his nose to look at others.
Long Chen gave the pill formula to Zheng Wenlong. This was an extremely secretive collaboration. When Zheng Wenlong saw the pill formula, he almost cried out.
Long Chen had two reasons for doing so. The first was to help the Hua Yun Sect attack the Pill Tower and point out their despicable business of selling fake drugs.
As for the other pill, Long Chen didn’t have time to concoct so many Bone Sacrifice Pills himself. He needed the Hua Yun Sect’s help. After all, they had many alchemists of his own.
Furthermore, the Hua Yun Sect was known for having a good reputation and a strong system of secrecy. No one would know that Long Chen had given the pill formulas to the Hua Yun Sect.
The instant he obtained the pill formula, Zheng Wenlong indicated that in the future when he sold the Bone Sacrifice Pellets, he would get 20% of the Long Chen’s profit.
It has to be said that the Hua Yun Sect’s auction houses are everywhere in the world.
However, Long Chen didn’t care about the dividends. Right now, he only wanted two things: the Bone Sacrifice Pellet and a precious medicinal herb.
Because he wanted to build the Dragon Blood Legion, they would need a huge amount of pills. If he tried to refine pills himself, he would definitely exhaust himself to death. Therefore, working with the Hua Yun Sect was a mutually beneficial transaction.
“Before long, the entire Pill Tower will be busy with fake medicine and won’t have time to worry about us.”
“We’ll use the Hua Yun Sect’s hands to stab the Pill Tower. It’s about time they withdrew their arrogance,” Long Chen said with a chuckle.
Looking at Long Chen’s sinister smile, Shui Wuhen could not help but feel a little speechless. They were truly unlucky that the Pill Tower had erected an enemy like Long Chen.
However, in the cultivation world, although the Pill Tower was neutral, they were too arrogant and had a bad character. No one had any good impressions of them.
However, regardless of whether it was righteous or evil, they all needed to rely on their pills. There was no other way but to humbly deal with them.
This time, the Hua Yun Sect would behave for a while after stabbing them in the head, and their arrogance would be retracted.
“That’s right, big sister, what news from Yan Wushuang’s side?” Long Chen asked.
Chapter 502 - Hall of Blood and Death

“That girl from the Yin Family was ultimately unable to endure the torture and ended up killing herself. Long Chen, you should be careful of the Yin Family. I don’t think they’ll let this matter rest,” Shui Wuhen said…
"So what? Come to the First Monastery to kill me? " Long Chen said.
“They won’t dare to offend you, but with the vengeful nature of the Yin Family, you should be more careful. Try not to go out!” Shui Wuhen warned.
“Mm. I don’t need to go out recently and won’t give them the chance to do so.” Long Chen nodded.
In this world, there were always some people who would sneakily watch you. If you made any mistakes, they would be like poisonous snakes, baring their fangs and giving you a bite.
Long Chen was not arrogant enough to ignore the concerns of others. Especially when it came to an Ancient Era’s Family.
Long Chen did not know much about the Ancient Era’s Family. However, from the pride of the disciples of the Ancient Era’s Family, he could tell that they possessed very deep backgrounds. Right now, what they revealed was only the tip of the iceberg.
"Then is Han Tianyu dead?" Long Chen asked with concern.
"No, I heard that he was highly valued by the Yin Family and received the best nurturing," Shui Wuhen said.
“It can’t be, Yan Wushuang actually didn’t bring him away?” Long Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. This was completely different from what he had expected.
Originally, he thought that with Yan Wushuang’s character, he would definitely kill Han Tianyu before he died and then set off together with her.
“I’m not sure about the specifics. In addition, there are two pieces of information about the evil path. One good, one bad. Which one do you want to hear?” Shui Wuhen smiled.
"Lets listen them!" Long Chen said without thinking.
“The good news is that Yin Luo is dead. You’re one less opponent!” Shui Wuhen said.
"Dead? “It can’t be, how did he die?” Long Chen was shocked.
“To assail the Meridian Opening Realm, to be invaded by Demons of the Heart, to have one’s body explode and perish. A prodigy of a generation perished just like that.” Shui Wuhen looked at Long Wu Chen and sighed.
Yin Luo, like Han Tianyu, was considered a rare genius in a thousand years. He had spent a lot of blood and sweat to cultivate it. He had even sacrificed an Xantian realm expert and poured his blood essence into Yin Luo body for him.
However, ever since he had met Long Chen, he had been continuously thwarted. The last time he had advanced, he had almost fallen into Qi deviation because of Long Chen.
And this time, he had been utterly defeated. When he returned, only half of his life was left. Long Chen had become his nightmare.
Originally, an evil expert had advised him to come out after being sealed for a hundred years, to wash away the memories of the devil in his heart. His current state of mind was no longer suitable for cultivation.
However, Yin Luo refused to give up. He swore to personally take Long Chen’s head, wash his shame, and forcefully break through to the Meridian Opening Realm. In the end, his body exploded and he died.
“That’s not good news. His life or death doesn’t mean much to me.” Long Chen shook his head.
The two were enemies, but they stood on different sides. Long Chen didn’t have much hatred towards him, but Yin Luo’s death caused Long Chen to feel a bit disappointed. Cultivation was so cruel, and the loser would only be mercilessly eliminated.
However, Long Chen wouldn’t have foolishly pitied him. If he was the loser, Yin Luo would have instead taken off his head to show off.
“That’s true. The two of you are no longer on the same level. A Chosen genius is nothing in front of Skywalker,” Shui Wuhen said with a faint smile.
“What Skywalker?” Long Chen couldn’t help but be stunned.
“It’s nothing, I was just spouting nonsense!”
Conscious of her slip of tongue, Shui Wuhen hurriedly said, “The bad news is that you are on the evildoer’s killing list. In other words, you are listed as a target that evildoers must kill.”
As he spoke, Shui Wuhen’s expression turned serious. “Actually, there’s a part of the reason why I won’t rope you into my Shui Family’s ranks. It’s because of the Ranking of Destiny …”
"What exactly is this Ranking of Destiny?" Long Chen asked.
"Anyone on the list is a genius who is believed by the evil way to be able to threaten them. They will do anything they can to kill him.
Not only will they do it themselves, they’ll even hire assassins to kill you if necessary! Shui Wuhen said.
"Assassin? Isn’t that a profession from the mortal world? " This was the first time Long Chen had heard that there were assassins in the cultivation world.
"There are also assassins in the cultivation world, and they are very mysterious. The cultivation methods and techniques they cultivate are all very strange, and they are all used to kill people.
Perhaps their true battle power was extremely low, but for them, assassinations beyond their cultivation levels was nothing out of the ordinary. "Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~"
There were even some geniuses that had a record of successfully assassinating those two levels above them. They were a group of devils hidden in the darkness, specifically taking the lives of others.
The Hall of Blood is the most terrifying organization among all the assassination organisations. Their names make the whole world tremble. " As he spoke, a grave look surfaced on Shui Wuhen’s face.
Fighting head on wasn’t something to be afraid of. The most frightening thing was that those strange killing methods would kill you before you could even react.
Those that were killed by the Hall of Blood assassins were all killed without being able to resist at all.
In other words, many people didn’t even have a chance to react before they died without knowing why. That strange scene sent chills down one’s spine.
“If the evil path can’t deal with you, they might spend a lot of money to hire a killer. You have to be prepared, because all the righteous disciples that were ranked on the Ranking of Destroyer are basically dead!” Shui Wuhen reminded solemnly.
“Hall of Blood?” Long Chen’s heart sank.
He never thought that there would be a professional killer in the cultivation world. This was a very troublesome matter, and assassins were usually the most difficult profession to deal with.
Perhaps their cultivation wasn’t too high, but in order to kill, they did everything they could. They were proficient in all sorts of slaughtering methods, and their goal was to put people to death — extremely sinister.
However, Long Chen was not afraid. He had an extraordinary intuition. Those who had enmity with him would be able to sense it with their hearts, and would find it very difficult to get close to him.
"I will pay attention." Long Chen nodded.
“Mm. I’m just guessing. You’re only a mere Bone Forging cultivator right now. You shouldn’t be able to attract the assassins of the Blood Slaughter Hall.”
In any case, there’s nothing wrong with being careful. It’s fine as long as you are careful. Moreover, the assassins of the Blood Slaughter Hall will not easily intervene. You don’t have to worry too much about that.
As long as you are on an acre and a third of our side Monastery, you will be safe. If you are going out, it would be best to greet me. Shui Wuhen said.
"Alright." Long Chen smiled.
"Other than Huo Wu Fang, Yin Luo, and Yan Wushuang, I have also asked about Hua Bi Luo. She was secretly sent to the Hua family by Sha Qi Tian before she woke up."
The Hua Clan was very satisfied with this matter. They heard that this girl had received a lot of rewards and was working hard to cultivate.
However, there is one tricky thing. Did you kill a disciple of the Skysplit Sect in the Nine Li Secret Realm? " Shui Wuhen frowned slightly.
“That’s right, he wanted to kill me. In the end, he was killed by me.” Long Chen said.
"Where did you learn your first move?" Shui Wuhen asked.
Long Chen told Shui Wuhen in detail about his experiences in obtaining the first volume of the Sky-Opening technique in the imperial city, not concealing anything.
"Do you know why that disciple of the Heavenly God Sect wanted to kill you?" Shui Wuhen looked at Long Chen and said.
"Murder for treasures?" Long Chen said.
“Grabbing a treasure is indeed not wrong, but it’s just that on one side, he suspects that you have an even bigger secret, which is why he wants to kill you.”
You may not know this, but the Heaven Opening Divine Sect’s ultimate technique is called the Nine Style of the Sky-Opening and the Battle Divine Codex.
The Sacred Battle Canon is a cultivation technique, it is the sect foundation treasure of the Heavenly God Sect. It is as famous as our Mysterious Heaven Method’s Mysterious Heaven Method, and it is also a treasure passed down from the Immortal Ancient Era.
However, our Xuantian Rune records the Tao techniques. They are profound, all-encompassing, and profound. However, they are not cultivation techniques or battle skills. They are a Heavenly Book that requires great wisdom to comprehend.
The Heaven Opening Divine Sect, on the other hand, has a cultivation technique and a battle skill that complement each other. These are the Nine Style Heaven Opening and Divine War Grimoire that I told you about a moment ago.
Cultivation techniques and battle skills were one set. If one did not practice the Battle Divine Codex, it was impossible to use the Nine Heavenly Styles.
That’s why he suspected that you were lying. Even if you didn’t have any treasures on you, he would still kill you. Today, I’ll reveal some secrets to you.
The Sacred Battle Canon of the Skysplit Sect was complete, but the Nine Style of the Skysplit Sect only had one to six forms. The remaining three forms were nowhere to be seen.
Therefore, the disciples of the Heaven Opening God Sect would go to the secret realms to try their luck and see if they could find the missing parts.
"That disciple suspected that you had the complete Nine Styles of Opening Heavens, which was why he wanted to kill you. This is really a big misunderstanding." Shui Wuhen sighed.
"Then what will happen to them?" Long Chen asked.
“The Skysplit Sect is full of tyrannical lunatics. They’re unreasonable. If they find out that you’ve learnt the first move of the Sky-Opening, and that you can even open the sky, they’ll definitely force you to hand over your cultivation technique,” Shui Wuhen said.
“Don’t even think about it. If they dare to do this, they will kill me. If they can’t kill me, I will cling on to them like a vengeful spirit and not stop until I die.” Long Chen coldly said.
His battle technique was unsightly and had been spread out. Yet, he actually had someone hand over the technique to him. His head must have been squeezed by a door.
If they really dared to do so, Long Chen didn’t mind. Every time he advanced, he would go to the gates of the Heavenly God Sect to undergo a tribulation. This was too bullying.
“There’s no need to be anxious. The Skysplit Sect is not in this region and may not know of this news. I’m telling you all this today to prepare you mentally.” Shui Wuhen consoled him.
Although he said this, Shui Wuhen was still extremely worried. One must know that the Opening Heavens Sect was the same as the Celestial Sect of Wonders. It was a massive sect that had been passed down for countless years, intimidating everyone in the area.
Furthermore, the Heaven Opening God Sect was extremely tyrannical and hard to talk about. The Xuantian Supermonastery would never go against the Heaven Opening God Sect for the sake of a disciple, so she was also extremely worried.
However, the only advantage they had was that those disciples within the Nine Li Secret Realm didn’t know of the existence of the Skysplit Sect.
Even those small sects might not know about the Split the Heavens God Sect, so they could only pray that this news didn’t spread to them. Otherwise, Long Chen would face a great catastrophe.
"During this period of time, you will cultivate quietly in the First Monastery. If there are any problems, you can look for the Vice Headmaster to discuss them with him. I have to return to the sect tomorrow to take care of some matters. Remember to be honest and not cause any trouble for me."
Long Chen left Shui Wuhen’s quiet room after listening to his reminder. He was a bit heavy-hearted and a bit angry. Why was it that so many people were pointing their spears at me?
"Go back and work hard to raise your cultivation. Whoever wants to die, come at me!" Long Chen clenched his teeth and stepped onto the first transfer array back to the First Monastery.
Chapter 503 - Red Dress
Mobile Read
After returning to the First Monastery, Long Chen directly entered closed-door training. Long Chen could smell the danger around him, and now that he was surrounded by enemies, he had to seize every moment to increase his strength.
Long Chen began to refine pills to make sacrifices to his bones. His body was now being tempered by the power of thunder until it became tougher and tougher, reaching the limit.
Long Chen kept refining pills for the sake of bones. Because his body was too strong, Long Chen’s consumption of pills was also very shocking.
Even after swallowing dozens of Bone Sacrifice Pellets with dazzling patterns, Long Chen was only able to refine the first bone.
Half a month later, he refined six bones to reach the Bone Forging Six Sacrifice. Today, Long Chen received good news.
The Hua Yun Sect had arrived. It was an intelligent looking middle-aged man, a Xiantian realm expert that Long Chen had never seen before.
When that person saw Long Chen, he didn’t say anything and just handed him an interspatial ring. He said that a second batch would be delivered soon and left.
When Long Chen opened his spatial ring, he almost screamed out loud. The space ring was filled with wooden barrels.
Each barrel was filled to the brim with elixirs. Long Chen counted a total of three hundred barrels and found that each barrel actually contained ten thousand elixirs.
"Zheng Wenlong, this is too beautiful."
Long Chen couldn’t help but feel ecstatic from the bottom of his heart. When Long Chen gave the pill formula to Zheng Wenlong, he had revealed that he needed a massive amount of Bone Sacrifice Pellets and had told him about his plan of forming the Dragon Blood Legion.
At that time, Zheng Wenlong couldn’t help being moved. He said that Long Chen was a true man and promised that he would deliver the pills as soon as possible.
What Long Chen didn’t know was that after Zheng Wenlong returned to the Hua Yun Sect, he gathered hundreds of alchemists to help him concoct pills day and night.
At the same time, Zheng Wenlong reported this matter to the headquarter. The headquarter attached great importance to this pill formula and had sent over a thousand apothecaries to forge pills for him.
It had to be said that the Hua Yun Sect was simply too powerful. After obtaining the recipe, they saw a huge opportunity and began to frantically refine the Bone Sacrifice Pill.
With so many cultivators refining pills day and night, the pills were flowing out like water.
However, Zheng Wenlong had already signed up for the first batch of pills. He left 80% of the first batch for Long Chen. He knew what Long Chen needed the most.
When the Hua Yun Sect’s higher ups had spoken, Zheng Wenlong was able to handle all of this. That was why three million pills had been sent to Long Chen at the first possible moment.
As expected, Long Chen admired Zheng Wenlong’s methods from the bottom of his heart. Zheng Wenlong had helped Long Chen greatly, and only someone like Zheng Wenlong would have such courage.
As for Zheng Wenlong, he was a shrewd businessman. He quickly sent the remaining 20% pills to all over the world.
One must know that for countless years, Bone Sacrifice Pills had always been monopolized by the Pill Valley. It was basically impossible to buy in the outside world, and the price was extremely expensive as well.
This time, Zheng Wenlong was going to bloom everywhere to prove to the entire world that the Bone Sacrifice Pill was available in the Hua Yun Sect as well, and that the effect was twice that of the pill pagoda.
The Hua Yun Sect would use its own research and development to announce to the world that they had created the pill formula themselves.
Long Chen had come up with this idea for Zheng Wenlong. This way, it would reflect the strength of the Hua Yun Sect and also protect Long Chen.
Although it looked the same on the surface, the effect was even stronger. Such a strong evidence was tantamount to giving Pill Tower a fierce slap on the face.
Moreover, the Pill Tower had to endure it. They couldn’t say that this was their pill formula, because why was the same pill formula having different effects?
They couldn’t admit that they made a move on the medicine and wasted half of their medicinal energy just to earn more money, right?
Zheng Wenlong never immediately sold these Bone Sacrifice Pellets. Instead, he first sent them to every corner of the world. First, he hoarded a portion of them and then found a suitable time to slap Pill Tower’s face. The patience of a merchant was always the best.
Long Chen received a total of three million Bone Sacrifice Pills, and gave them to the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion.
When they saw the medicinal pellets in the bucket, they could not believe their eyes. The medicinal pellets were all stored in bottles. This bucket was too frightening.
Long Chen gave the order to eat as much as they could and train as hard as they could. This was only a part of it. There would be even more pills coming after this.
Although they didn’t know how Long Chen had done it, the soldiers of the Dragonblood Army were all incomparably moved. They had seen a new path.
Long Chen had changed their spiritual roots before, and now that all of them had Silver Rank spiritual roots, their cultivation speed was ten times faster than before.
And right now, all of them had entered the Four Sacrifice Realm. In the past, the Four Sacrifice Realm was probably their ultimate goal for ordinary disciples.
However, in the Dragon Blood Legion, this was just the beginning. When they thought that they would be able to stand at the peak of the martial way with Long Chen, competing against those peerless geniuses, they became incomparably excited and began to refine pills with all thier might.
After arranging everyone, Long Chen started to eat the Bone Sacrifice Pellet like he was eating peanuts.
Although those pills were only high-grade Bone Sacrifice Pellets, they couldn’t compare to the dazzling Bone Sacrifice Pellets that Long Chen refined.
But the quantity was huge. Long Chen had saved quite a bit of time concocting pills. If the quality wasn’t good, he would use the amount to make up for the amount. Every time he ate, his mouth would see the pill in his throat before he would stop to refine his bones.
Bone Sacrifice was the process of completely refining one’s bones with the strength of a medicinal pill. It had to be known that the impurities in the bones were the most difficult to remove, so the Bone Sacrifice Realm was extremely important.
Only with strong bones would one be able to sustain their strength. With each bone that Long Chen refined, his body would become stronger.
This was not to say that Long Chen’s strength had increased. Rather, when Long Chen’s body became stronger and could withstand an even stronger power, he would be able to unleash 100% of his strength.
Before the Bone Sacrifice Realm, if Long Chen channeled too much of his energy, even his own bones wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would break.
Thus, during normal battles, Long Chen felt that he could display his strongest power, but in reality, that wasn’t the strongest power.
This was because, out of instinct, Long Chen’s body would restrict a portion of his strength so that his bones wouldn’t break from the shock.
This sort of instinct was something that could not be changed. It was a form of self-protection. Even if Long Chen were to go all out and his bones were shattered, he would still have to use that power.
After reaching the Bone Sacrifice Realm, one would no longer feel this awkward. As long as the bones could bear it, then the body’s instincts would allow the person to use the strongest power. This instinct would then close down.
Long Chen was currently in such a state. In the past, he had been like a beggar guarding a treasury and leading a poor life.
There was a gold mountain, but it was locked in the storehouse. Long Chen was slowly opening the storehouse and could finally squander his wealth.
It only took Long Chen six hours to dry out the entire barrel of Bone Sacrifice Pellets, which was the equivalent of 10,000 Bone Sacrifice Pellets.
Long Chen could feel the rumbling of bones within his body. He could faintly hear the sound of thunder, and his entire body was filled with power.
“I’ve finally reached the tenth sacrifice!”
Long Che clenched his fists as he felt the surging power in his body. He was filled with excitement.
Actually, Long Chen’s Bone Sacrifice pill was much more expensive than the Bone Sacrifice Pellets that other people used. However, Long Chen couldn’t eat it as fast as he could, and eat it as food.
As for the others, eating three pills in one go was already a lot. Any more would cause their bodies to be unable to withstand the terrifying medicinal effects and would also waste a portion of the medicinal effect.
Long Chen’s physical body was even stronger than the Magic Beasts. Long Chen didn’t care about the impact of the medicinal power at all. Although he would waste a portion of the medicinal power, what Long Chen valued the most right now was time.
After finishing a bucket, Long Chen adjusted himself and began to eat the second bucket. At this time, Long Chen thought of Wildie. If Wildie was here, he would probably be able to eat dozens of buckets in one go.
But Wildie’s body did not need medicinal pills to recuperate. As long as he had meat, he could extract the essence from the magical beast’s flesh and nourish it with its flesh.
Now thatWildie had been taken away by Cang Hai, with his love for him, he would definitely go all out to kill Wildie’s magical beasts and hunt for blood and food. He believed that Wildie’s cultivation would probably be even faster than his own.
The last time they were in the secret realm, a magical pattern appeared on Wildie’s forehead, and his qi and blood erupted. He had withstood the combined attack of Yin Luo, Han Tianyu, and other top experts, and at that time, Wildie seemed to already have the aura of some barbarian.
"No, I need to hurry up and eat it!"
Thinking of Wildie, Long Chen took big mouthfuls of pills, refining the medicinal power and nourishing his bones.
By the time the sixth bucket was finished, Long Chen had already refined sixteen bones. As he stood up, Long Chen could feel endless strength coming from his body.
Bang.
A fist landed on his chest, causing the air to vibrate with a buzzing sound. However, Long Chen himself didn’t feel anything.
"Good heavens! This kind of physical body is simply too awesome!"
Long Chen could feel that his punch could shatter a giant boulder, but when it hit his body, it only made a “peng peng” sound, and he didn’t feel any pain at all.
This was the first time Long Chen experienced the terror of a Bone Sacrifice. He couldn’t help but feel wild with joy, but at the same time, he felt a bit pained.
It had to be known that Long Chen had eaten 70,000 Bone Sacrifice Pills and had only refined 16 bones. As for others who had eaten 70,000 Bone Sacrifice Pills, that was enough to refine more than half of their bones.
According to Long Chen’s budget, a person would need around a hundred thousand high-grade Bone Sacrifice Pellets. However, this budget was not accurate.
It seemed that the stronger a person’s physique was, the harder it would be to sacrifice their bones, and the more energy they would consume. According to this calculation, the originally 36 million Bone Sacrifice Pellets would probably need to be increased by a lot.
However, Long Chen didn’t care about anything as long as everyone was able to complete the sacrifice. He needed to create his own Iron-Blood Grandmaster.
"Scram! Call out Long Chen for me!" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the outside. It was the voice of a woman accompanied by the sound of a wall breaking.
Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. He hastily rushed to the outside and saw that the two gatekeeping disciples had already fallen to the ground, unconscious. Half of his wall had collapsed from the impact.
In front of him was a red-clothed woman who looked to be in her mid-thirties. There was a mole on her pointed chin, giving off an extremely unkind feeling. When the woman saw Long Chen come out, she coldly looked at him.
"You are Long Chen?"
“Who are you?” Long Chen’s heart trembled. He could feel a terrifying threat coming from this woman.
"Kneel down and speak."
A sneer suddenly appeared on the woman’s face as she coldly scolded. Suddenly, a surge of frightening energy of heaven and earth came crashing down on Long Chen.
Chapter 504 Anger starts at the bottom of my heart

"Kneel!"
The woman let out a cold shout. Long Chen immediately felt that the surrounding space had frozen. The terrifying energy of heaven and earth was like a tidal wave as it came crashing down on Long Chen…
"Boom!"
The ground beneath Long Chen’s feet shattered. The terrifying shockwave caused the residence behind him to shatter. Long Chen felt as if he was being pressed down by a small mountain. However, he stood there unmoving, using his physical body to resist the terrifying pressure.
“You want me, Long Chen, to kneel? Who do you think you are?” Long Chen couldn’t help but snarl as he stared at the woman in front of him. He didn’t understand why this woman, whom he had never seen before, would humiliate him.
"Who is it?"
The commotion from this side immediately attracted the attention of the Monastery. Countless people rushed over, and when they saw that the girl actually took action against Long Chen, they couldn’t help but angrily yell out.
"Scram!"
The woman let out a cold shout and it turned into a rolling sound wave. The disciples and elders who were rushing over were instantly knocked unconscious.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen took advantage of the moment when the woman was stunning everyone, and swung the blood-red saber in his hand towards the woman.
“Humph, he’s just playing with the hatchet!”
There was a trace of ridicule on the woman’s face as she slapped Long Chen’s blood-red long blade. Long Chen felt a terrifying power come over him.
"Pa!"
His sleeve exploded, and the blood-red blade in his hand could no longer be held. The blood-red blade spun around and flew into the distance, instantly shattering a small building several hundred zhang away.
“You’re being so rude when facing senior. Since you don’t have a home tutor, let me teach you a lesson in place of your parents. How can you respect your elders?”
The woman coldly scolded as she suddenly struck Long Chen’s shoulder like lightning. Long Chen immediately felt a terrifying wave of Heaven and Earth energy invade his body as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Kneel!"
The woman coldly scolded. She forcefully pressed down with her palm, wanting Long Chen to kneel.
"Dream on!"
Rage burned in Long Chen’s eyes. This was the first time he had been humiliated like this. He used all of his strength to resist this terrifying power.
“The bones are really hard. Let’s see how long you can hold on!” The woman’s face revealed a trace of surprise, but she soon sneered and gradually increased her strength.
"Boom!"
Under the Long Chent, there was a crescent shaped shadow, as if it was a crescent.; The earth shattered, turning into a giant crater. Long Chen felt as if his bones were about to break.
The power of the woman was too terrifying. Long Chen felt that the entire world was pressing down on his shoulders, and he had no way of resisting it.
When the woman saw that Long Chen was actually able to resist her power, a look of shock appeared in her eyes. However, that shock was quickly overshadowed by an ice-cold killing intent.
“The Qi Method is filled with evil intent. You must be a spy who blended into the righteous path. When I see your Sea of Consciousness, everything will be clear!” The woman sneered and pointed at Long Chen’s forehead.
Rays of light flowed from the tip of the finger, and bright runes and terrifying soul power could be seen within. One could tell that this was a soul art.
"Watch you go numb!"
Long Chen let out a furious roar as he punched the woman’s fingertips.
When the woman saw Long Chen’s fist coming at her, a cold, disdainful smile appeared on her face. If Long Chen were to punch her, the power attached to her finger would instantly shatter Long Chen’s fist.
"Boom!"
However, when Long Chen’s fist collided with the woman’s finger, the woman’s expression immediately changed. This was because Long Chen’s fist was filled with purple lightning. When it collided with her finger, it actually forced her two steps back.
"Die!"
Long Chen let out a roar. As the woman backed up, a lightning spear appeared in his hand and he charged toward the woman.
The woman couldn’t help but be shocked when she was pushed back by Long Chen. When she saw that Long Chen was about to be shot, she coldly snorted and a light appeared in her palm.
"Pa!"
Long Chen’s spear made of the power of thunder was shattered by her palm like a toy without any threat. This caused Long Chen’s heart to turn cold. He instantly understood what level of expert this woman was at. She was not someone he could deal with.
"Seal the Heavens and Lock the Earth!"
The woman sneered. Suddenly, her hands formed a seal in front of her and countless runes suddenly flew into the air. Long Chen immediately felt that he couldn’t move at all.
"Evildoer! How dare you behave so atrociously! Let me see what kind of background you have!"
The woman pointed a finger at Long Chen’s forehead. Long Chen immediately felt a powerful soul force stab into his mind like a sharp knife.
Long Chen knew that this woman was extremely vicious and wanted to observe his sea of consciousness. If that was the case, then all of Long Chen’s secrets would be discovered by her.
Long Chen used all of his soul power to form a soul wall, completely protecting the center of his brows and preventing the invading soul force from invading.
"Hmm? [I didn’t expect your soul force to be so powerful. But it’s still not enough for me!]
The woman gave a cold snort. Suddenly, the charm characters on her finger flared up.
"Buzz!"
A loud sound exploded in Long Chen’s mind. He felt as if his head had been smashed by a sledgehammer. His seven orifices began to slowly bleed.
The woman had used a powerful soul skill to instantly destroy Long Chen’s defenses, injuring him.
“Hmph! Let me see what secret you’re hiding!” The woman sneered and was about to forcefully look through Long Chen’s memories.
"Chi!"
A sharp attack was directed at the woman’s back. The woman’s heart trembled. The attack made her feel a threat to her death. She did not care about Long Chen and hastily dodged to the side.
"Buzz!"
Just as she dodged, a jade-like hand suddenly struck her chest as if it had calculated her position.
Puff.
The woman spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.
Long Chen recovered from his shock at this moment and saw a beautiful girl appear in front of him.
"Sect Leader!"
That person was the Head Bureau’s Shui Wuhen. At this moment, she had an angry expression on her face and a frosty expression. Looking at Long Chen bleeding from his seven orifices, killing intent surged in his eyes.
"Shui Wuhen, how dare you hit me so hard. What do you mean by that?" The woman spat out a mouthful of blood. A piece of her chest had collapsed from the impact and she spoke with a furious expression.
“Ah, so it’s Vice Head Zhou. I’m so sorry. I thought it was an evil expert who came to kill my disciple. What a misunderstanding.” Shui Wuhen suddenly said with ‘shock’.
"You … "You clearly did it on purpose. That palm was actually filled with Mysterious Xantian Qi. You deliberately injured me. I will report it to the Dao Sect and say that you are avenging a personal grudge!" That woman said angrily.
"Zhou Qingyi, you better not hurt my disciple. You were the one who did it to my disciple. I mistook you as an evil expert. This can only be considered a misunderstanding." Shui Wuhen said lightly.
As he spoke, Shui Wuhen held Long Chen’s hand, and Long Chen immediately felt a strange fluctuation rush towards the center of his brows. Unlike the woman, Shui Wuhen’s power nourished Long Chen’s soul, and very quickly, Long Chen’s pained soul was pacified.
"You …" "I only saw that his martial arts were a little strange, and wanted to test it out. You actually attacked so heavily, it was clearly intentional!" The woman who was called Zhou Qingyi said angrily.
"Whether you are testing me or not, we all know that there is no need to be so clear about it. You must remember, even though you are also at the Sea Opening Realm, this is not a branch of the Xuan Dao Sect."
“I am the Sect Leader here and you are the Deputy Sect Leader. You better restrain yourself and don’t let me do anything reckless. If you provoke me, I will kill you at all costs.” Shui Wuhen said coldly.
"You dare? “If you kill me, your Shui Family will be in big trouble. I don’t believe you have the ability!” Zhou Qingyu said with a face full of ridicule.
“It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not. I can kill you before I kill your son. At worst, I’ll just leave this Xuan Dao Sect. I have no children and no children anyways. What do you think?” Shui Wuhen looked at Zhou Qingyu and said coldly.
“You …” Zhou Qingyu’s face fell.
“I don’t like to talk nonsense. You can scram now. Don’t think that you can turn the tables around just because you’ve won a vice head seat. If you provoke me, you’ll both be killed!” Shui Wuhen said.
“Fine, let’s wait and see. Don’t think that the Shui Family will always have the upper hand!” Zhou Qingyi gave a cold humph and gave Long Chen a fierce look. Suddenly, a huge pair of wings unfolded behind her back.
“Boss, what’s going on?” At this moment, Guo Ran and the others ran over.
The First Monastery was too big, so Long Chen chose to stay in a secluded place. By the time they arrived, everything was already over.
However, when they saw that Long Chen’s residence had already turned to dust and Long Chen’s clothes were torn and his face still had traces of blood, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
“It’s nothing. All of you can go. Cultivate well. I have something to say to the head of the sect …” Long Chen said.
Although everyone had countless questions in their hearts, seeing that Long Chen was unwilling to speak, they had no choice but to ask. Especially since the Lord Headmaster was present, it was truly inconvenient for them to speak.
“Long Chen, I’m sorry, I’ve implicated you.” Shui Wuhen said apologetically.
Long Chen smiled, tidied up his messy hair, and said indifferently: "This matter can’t be blamed on elder sister, this is the martial arts world, the conflicts are endless, unless we completely crush the other party to death.
“Elder sister, there’s no need to feel guilty. I will remember this Zhou Weiqing. Today, I will compensate her a thousand times over for the humiliation she gave me …” Long Chen’s eyes flashed with a murderous light. Zhou Qing Yi had gone too far.
Seeing that Long Chen was still calling him "elder sister" made Shui Wuhen feel somewhat guilty. "Actually, she is showing off to me and you are just an innocent victim.
This time, the Zhou family had killed a half-step-to Sea Cleaving stage expert. The Zhou family immediately started their counterattack and submitted an application to the higher ups.
In order to show his sincerity, he had sent a Sea Opening Stage powerhouse to take Zhou Qingyu’s place.
In actuality, the Zhou family wasn’t willing to give up just like that. They wanted to find a chance to bring me down, so Long Chen, if you want to leave this Monastery, I won’t stop you! "
"Leaving the yard now is just too useless. Besides, how can I leave my sister alone and fight with her?" Long Chen said.
"Ai, I’m afraid that they will target you. They will make things difficult for you and affect your cultivation. Moreover, the Zhou family is also eyeing the treasures on your body covetously. “Also…” Shui Wuhen sighed.
"Is the Shui Family also interested in my secret?" Long Chen said.
Shui Wuhen smiled bitterly and did not say a word. Everyone knew that Long Chen had fused with a mystical pearl in the Nine Li Secret Realm. They were all curious about it, and so was the Shui family.
“But don’t worry. Since you’ve acknowledged me as your sister, I’ll protect you!” Shui Wuhen said.
“That’s good. We’ll join hands and fight them. To be honest, I really want to pinch that woman to death right now!” Long Chen couldn’t help but grind his teeth as he spoke. This girl was too hateful.
"It’s not realistic to kill her now. She is the same as me, a Sea Cleaving expert, but her cultivation realm is not as high as mine.
"Also, I have bad news. A sect head will descend from the First Monastery. He was arranged by the higher-ups and will arrive tomorrow," Shui Wuhen said.
"Sect Leader?" Long Chen was shocked.
“Yes, a new Sect Leader, that is Zhou Qingyi’s son.”
Long Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard Shui Wuhen’s words. A sinister smile appeared on his face. “Very good, very good!”
Chapter 505 - Twenty Sacrifice

"Her son is the Sect Leader? “Our Xuantian Monastery is really interesting. After killing a mother and child, he even killed a mother and son. Could it be that our Xuantian Monastery is a maternal inheritance?” Long Chen’s words were laced with ridicule.
Shui Wuhen could not help feeling a little awkward. Although she knew that Long Chen was not targeting her, this matter was indeed a bit damnable.
This time, Shui Wuhen had used a thunderous method to kill Sha Qi Tian, and Zhou Qingyu had also been sent to the guillotine.
However, this did not mean that the Zhou family had won. They had only gained the upper hand once.
This time, however, the Zhou family’s face was slapped too hard by the Shui family.
The Zhou family had brought Zhou Qingyi over this time to deal with Shui Wuhen. Wasn’t your Shui family awesome? I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on you. Unless you make a mistake, a single mistake will cost you your life.
Furthermore, Shui Wuhen was the most helpless of all. She was not afraid of anyone catching her weakness, but she was not afraid of thieves stealing. She was only afraid of thieves missing out. If she framed someone, she would be in trouble.
Only a thousand days of being a thief was not enough to guard against a thief. Being stared at by such a thief made one feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Furthermore, Zhou Qingyi was extremely ruthless. She had actually run to the branch yard before Shui Wuhen, directly targeting Long Chen.
Long Chen was just a mere Bone Forging disciple; even if he died, it wouldn’t be enough to alarm the higher-ups.
Moreover, even if Long Chen died, the Zhou family could come up with any kind of grand excuse to make Long Chen die for nothing.
The Zhou family had suffered greatly, they actually wanted to establish their might on Long Chen. They wanted to show their might to Shui Wuhen first. What she did not know was that her action had brought her a King of Hell.
Shui Wuhen could also see that Long Chen had become the target of Zhou Qingyi’s persecution. Therefore, for Long Chen’s safety, she would not stop him if he wanted to leave.
However, Long Chen had suffered such a great loss. How could he just leave like that? He had never suffered such humiliation before.
“Elder sister, what’s going on with your two families?” Long Chen asked. He wanted to know some inside information.
Shui Wuhen hesitated for a moment before pulling Long Chen to a secluded place. He told Long Chen some of the secrets of the Xuantian Supermonastery.
So it turned out that aside from the ancestor’s lineage, the Xuantian Supermonastery also had four other major powers: the Yan Clan, Qu Clan, Zhou Clan, and the Shui Clan.
The four great clans were the four great disciples of the Xuantian Supermonastery founder, Patriarch Darkheaven. They were the clans that had passed down their legacy.
The clan was so old that it was frightening, and its strength was beyond Long Chen’s imagination. However, the four great clans were not harmonious, and scheming and fighting were unavoidable.
The most serious ones were the Zhou and Shui families. Shui Wuhen did not mention the feud between the two families, but only that the relationship between the two families was like fire and water.
Through Shui Wuhen, Long Chen understood how terrifying the Xuantian Supermonastery was. Shui Wuhen had said that her strength was ranked last in the entire sect, so she was sent out of the sect.
Shui Wuhen did not talk too much about the internal affairs of the family. She only told Long Chen that the Zhou family and the Shui family had taken advantage of Zhou Qingyu’s execution, and the internal affairs of the family had turned from a secret conflict to a open conflict.
“She won’t attack me again, right?” Long Chen asked.
“Don’t worry, I will keep an eye on her. If she still dares to be this unscrupulous, I will kill her mother and son. At worst, I will just wander around the world.”
However, I believe that she will no longer make a move on you. However, after his son becomes the next Sect Leader, she might put on small shoes for him and make things difficult for you.
They are intentionally trying to force you out of the Monastery. Once you leave the Monastery, you will become the target of public criticism.
If you die, they would be able to turn the tables around. At the same time, they would also prove that I am useless and unable to even protect my own chess piece.
"Therefore, in the future, Zhou Weiqing and I will probably move to the First Monastery. Therefore, if you want to leave, I will send you out safely. Mo Sect is a good choice!" Shui Wuhen said. She did not want Long Chen to be implicated.
Shui Wuhen had underestimated her shamelessness. If she hadn’t arrived in time, Long Chen’s memories would have been searched. It would have been a great humiliation.
Even if he didn’t kill Long Chen, his dao heart would suffer a devastating blow, and he would never be able to advance again.
“As long as she doesn’t make a move, it’ll be fine. As for her son, he should be a High Xantian stage expert, right?” Long Chen said.
“Mm. He’s only at the middle stage of the Xantian realm, but in reality, he’s just a piece of trash. In an environment like the Supermonastery, reaching the middle stage at the age of one hundred and thirty is just trash among trash.” A look of disgust appeared on Shui Wuhen’s face as he spoke, as if he was describing a pile of dog shit.
"Then it’s fine. As long as that evil woman doesn’t attack me, there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Didn’t she want to compete with her sister? “Alright, then I’ll help big sister. We’ll have a fight, mother and son, between us.” Long Chen had a smile on his face, but that smile sent chills down his spine.
"But …" Shui Wuhen was worried.
“There’s no ‘buts’. Elder sister, as long as you can keep an eye on that woman, I guarantee that I’ll be able to play with her son to death without making any noise.” Long Chen said.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you about this. I’ll keep her in my sights. You have to be careful!” Shui Wuhen warned her.
When Shui Wuhen left, Long Chen ruthlessly kicked a huge boulder beside him, which immediately exploded into fine powder.
“Treat me like an ant and pinch me whenever you want. Just you all wait and see, I’m going to kill you all!”
Now that Long Chen was the only one left, he was finally able to release his anger. His eyes were filled with ice-cold killing intent.
In front of that woman, Long Chen felt like he was a disgraced ant, at the mercy of others. He felt like a coward.
He looked around and saw that the original residence had disappeared. The surrounding thousands of feet had been razed to the ground, no longer able to stay here.
Long Chen thought for a moment and gathered Guo Ran, Gu Yang, and the others. Everyone held a meeting to let everyone familiarize themselves with the rules of the Monastery.
Even if Long Chen thought about it with his heels, he knew that this sect leader that descended from the skies would definitely pick a bone for them. He would find trouble with them and take care of them.
In order to prevent others from catching Little Plaits, they had to be careful. In addition, Long Chen told everyone not to speak too much tomorrow and to follow his actions with their eyes.
After making all these arrangements, Long Chen returned to his new residence and began to eat the pill with all his might. Right now, he couldn’t waste even the slightest bit of time. He had to hurry up and sacrifice his bones.
Furthermore, Long Chen also told everyone not to cultivate because during the Bone Sacrifice ceremony, he would be forced to raise his cultivation level. He was afraid that if he were to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm before everyone was done refining their bones, he would be done for.
Once one entered the Meridian Opening Realm, he would no longer be able to refine bones. In other words, once he entered the Meridian Opening Realm, he would only have so many bones, and his foundation would be completely sealed.
As for Guo Ran, Gu Yang, and the others, they had no other choice in the secret realm. In order to preserve their lives, they allowed their cultivation to rise.
Now that they had returned, Long Chen had given all of them pills to temporarily lock up their cultivation and let them use all their strength to sacrifice their bones.
"Boom!"
An explosive sound suddenly came from Long Chen’s body as his aura shook.
“I’ve entered the first layer of Bone Forging!”
Long Chen’s heart stirred. Just now, he had successfully refined another two bones and had actually entered the first layer of Bone Forging.
“The Bone Sacrifice is slow and the speed of advancement is fast. This will be troublesome. I’ll have to think of a way to suppress the speed of advancement!”
Long Chen had to sacrifice everything before he could choose to enter Meridian Opening, otherwise his foundation would be flawed.
Now that he had refined eighteen bones, he had broken through to the First Stage. According to this speed, Long Chen would have entered the Meridian Opening Realm after refining one hundred and eighty bones.
If a human had two hundred and six bones, then Long Chen needed to suppress his own speed of advancement.
“Yi, that’s not right. There’s no need at all. I didn’t advance to the Tenth Heaven, but rather the Thirteenth Heaven. It’s just perfect like this!”
Long Chen suddenly remembered that he was different from the others. His cultivation level was the Tenth Heaven, while the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique’s each stage had 13 Layered Heavens.
Thinking of this, Long Chen relaxed and began to eat the medicine like crazy. This was a typical medicine that could not be stopped.
Long Chen even had an epiphany that his memories of the Pill Emperor and the Nine Star Overlord’s body were compatible.
Without the Pill Emperor’s memories, Long Chen only had the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to satisfy the massive needs of the Nine Star Tyrant Body.
Long Chen also discovered that Long Chen’s body didn’t have any rejection towards pills. He could absorb all of them.
Unlike others, when one consumed more than three pills, one’s body would develop a resistance to it, reducing the effectiveness of the pills and rendering them ineffective.
Not only was Long Chen able to completely absorb the pill’s power, but the impurities contained within it, the so-called pill toxins, were actually all expelled from his body through his pores.
The elixirs that Long Chen had prepared to remove the pill’s poison were all used by others, so he had no use for them.
When the morning sun shone through the window onto Long Chen, he slowly opened his eyes. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Twenty sacrifices!"
Long Chen had refined twenty bones and now he was far beyond them. The direct disciples of the large sects were all earned by him.
In the entire Xuantian Monastery, only Long Chen was able to do it. Even people from such backgrounds as Shui Wuhen and Zhou Qingyi were unable to do it.
Even if they had powerful backgrounds, they weren’t people that the sect had focused on nurturing. It was impossible for them to receive such treatment.
One had to know that every Bone Sacrifice Pellet was expensive. An entire sacrifice would require at least 100,000 Bone Sacrifice Pellets. If one wasn’t an absolute nurturer, no one would spend such a huge amount of resources to nurture them.
To simultaneously have over three hundred people choose to sacrifice themselves, it was likely that only Long Chen had the qualifications to do so.
And Long Chen’s qualification was based on working with the Hua Yun Sect. Otherwise, Long Chen wouldn’t have so much time to refine pills.
Gently opening the door, he saw that it was about time. Today was the new Sect Leader’s inauguration day. Long Chen really wanted to see what kind of bastard son that wicked woman Zhou Qingyi would have.
