Hearing Long Chen's words, Xu Changchuan, who had been in darkness, suddenly saw the light. Although he hadn't been with Long Chen for long, he always had a feeling that whatever Long Chen was about to do was something no one could stop.
There was still some time before the Saint King Conference. Long Chen had planned to use this time to do something, originally just to rob a few more Longteng Trading Firms to raise some money.
Not only did they get money, but it also caused a huge sensation, which easily attracted the attention of the Long family.
His father was in the Long family, and Long Chen didn't know what his situation was right now. Long Chen had to prepare for the worst. Only by making the Long family wary enough could father and son be reunited.
However, now is not the right time to engage with the Long family. If he went now, Long Aotian would surely use all his methods to deal with him.
Long Chen's current goal was to win the championship of the Saint King Conference, earn the championship and the rewards, and only when the Dragon Blood Legion reunited and their reputation soared, would he have the right to ask the Long family for his people.
Long Chen was thinking about how to make use of this half-year—not too long, not too short—when Xu Changchuan showed up.
Long Chen had some understanding of the Life Forbidden Zone, but many things within it were forbidden to be passed down orally, let alone written down on paper.
At Lingxiao Academy, records about the Forbidden Zone of Life are extremely obscure, but Long Chen knew that there must be earth-shattering secrets buried within it.
Since Xu Changchuan had come up, Long Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. Besides, just escorting Xu Changchuan back shouldn't be too difficult.
The flying boat sped all the way. Xia Chen deliberately set up a formation to prevent others from tracking him. To be safe, he even used two undirectional teleportation attempts.
Everyone was resting in a valley. Xu Changchuan and the Moonwatching Clan Heavenly Venerable needed to recover from their injuries.
While recovering, Xu Changchuan looked at Yu Qingxuan beside Long Chen several times, wanting to speak but hesitating. Only after Yu Qingxuan went to refine pills did Xu Changchuan quietly say, "
Brother Long, did you fall out with Fairy Shishi?"
"No, really?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"How could that be..." Xu Changchuan meant, "Then why are you getting involved with someone else?"
Xu Changchuan wasn't stupid. Although Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan hadn't shown any affectionate gestures, from Yu Qingxuan's gentle gaze, it was clear she loved Long Chen deeply.
"She's also one of my close female friends." Long Chen said awkwardly.
"Does Fairy Shishi know?"
"I know," Long Chen nodded.
"Whoa, Brother Long, do you know? I admire your martial talent, but what I admire even more is your ability. Xu Changchuan sighed.
"What ability?"
"It's the ability to attract the opposite sex. I don't know why, but my ability to attract them is very strong, so I've been envied by the family since I was little."
But later I realized that the people I could attract were the weak, and for the truly strong, my appeal gradually diminished.
I've been chasing Bai Shishi for a long time, but she doesn't care about me at all. And the one I'm chasing now is also going to the very end.
And you seem to have achieved it effortlessly. Just for this alone, to be honest, I admire you completely. Xu Changchuan said.
Xu Changchuan was handsome and elegant, with a prestigious background and astonishing talent, making him the dream partner for countless women.
Because of this, he was always like a star surrounded by the moon, exuding a proud and proud aura. Bai Shishi couldn't stand someone like him, so she simply ignored him.
This dealt Xu Changchuan a heavy blow. Although he didn't hate Long Chen and wanted to learn more techniques to attract the opposite sex, he still felt uncomfortable inside and eventually left quietly.
This time, seeing Long Chen by his side, there was an unparalleled beauty, and this stunning beauty had eyes only on Long Chen and didn't even spare him a glance, which left him deeply hurt.
You have to know, with his handsomeness, no matter how proud a woman is, whether out of curiosity or admiration, she can't help but take a few extra glances.
Long Chen was speechless. Xu Changchuan actually admired him in this regard, which made Long Chen both amused and exasperated.
"Brother Changchuan, how is your family treating you internally?" Long Chen changed the subject.
"Brother Long, rest assured, Grandfather is the clan leader. I am from the direct line, with pure bloodline, deeply favored by Grandfather.
They must have been hiding it from my grandfather this time. Hmph, if my grandfather finds out about this, none of them will survive. Thinking about being hunted, Xu Changchuan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Hearing Xu Changchuan's answer, Long Chen felt much more at ease. If Xu Changchuan wanted to use Xu Changchuan's power to compete for the heir position, Long Chen definitely wouldn't risk so many people.
This was a family matter for the Moonwatching Clan. As an outsider, Long Chen didn't understand the internal situation. Sending Xu Changchuan back to the Moonwatching Clan was already his bottom line.
After two days of rest, Xu Changchuan and the Celestial Venerable finally recovered. Everyone steered the flying boat toward the location Xu Changchuan had mentioned.
Originally, Xu Changchuan suggested Long Chen take a detour from another area. According to him, heading straight to the Moonwatching Clan would be fraught with obstacles.
But Long Chen didn't think so. Under the clan leader's control, the Moonwatching Clan wouldn't make much moves, since it would be easily noticed.
Whatever Xu Changchuan could think of, the other side could too. They were certain that after Xu Changchuan was being hunted, they wouldn't dare to attack the Moonwatching Clan directly. So the other routes were truly full of thorns and traps.
Seeing Long Chen rush straight at the Moonwatching Clan, Xu Changchuan ultimately said nothing. Although he was a bit worried, he still chose to trust Long Chen.
"Boss, there's a formation fluctuation ahead." Suddenly, Xia Chen stopped the flying boat and said.
"Is it a detection formation?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes."
"Can you handle it?" Long Chen asked.
"Of course, no problem." Xia Chen said.
"Then let's go. The rest of you get ready for battle and charge straight in." Long Chen said.
"Brother Long, is this really okay?" Xu Changchuan was startled and said.
He had originally thought that with Long Chen's intelligence, he would come up with every clever way to avoid the opponent's numerous traps, but unexpectedly, Long Chen went straight to the point.
"I don't know either, let's give it a try!" Long Chen shrugged and said.
"This ..."
Xu Changchuan's face turned pale with fear. How could this be tested? If it failed, everyone's lives would be lost.
At that moment, runes lit up on Xia Chen's flying boat, the entire vessel trembled, and a strong sense of back pressing was felt as if the seat was firmly holding him.
"Boom!"
The flying vessel, which had been moving slowly for a while, suddenly accelerated sharply, like a streak of light rushing forward. An arrow-tipped phantom appeared in front of the vessel, directly piercing through a barrier.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The flying boat was like a sharp sword, piercing through eight barriers in one breath. With each barrier, the world grew darker. As they passed through eight barriers, a huge gate of darkness appeared ahead—the entrance to the Moonwatch Clan.
"Rumble rumble... At
that moment, countless terrifying auras surged up from within the Dark Gate.
