Long Zhantian watched the woman's departing figure and nodded, saying, "It should be her. Her appearance means the world has reached a certain critical point. Whether it will be destroyed or reborn, no one will know." "
Father, ..." Long Zhantian replied evasively, leaving Long Chen completely confused.
"Forget it, I'm just guessing. I can't be sure about this kind of thing, but her words and actions are very similar to the legendary figure.
If it really is her, she won't just show up once. You'll have more encounters in the future. When that happens, you can go confirm with her yourself and you'll understand. Long Zhantian shook his head and said.
"Alright, when a master speaks, it's always unfathomable." Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
"You child, I can't say things I'm not sure about. Getting proven wrong—how bad would that be?" Long Zhantian couldn't help but laugh.
"Father, please spend a few more days with me. I miss you very much." Long Chen looked at Long Zhantian, his eyes slightly reddened. Although Long Chen was a prodigy who looked down on the heavens and an undefeated hero, deep down he longed for that deep affection.
In the Fengming Empire, Long Tianxiao treats him as his own and loves him more than his own life. But after being framed by a conspiracy, he can only guard the border, unable to stay by Long Chen's side, let alone grow up with him.
This was an irreparable wound deep in Long Chen's heart. Although his tone was probing, given his personality, it was almost a plea.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Long Zhantian's heart ached and his eyes reddened. He patted Long Chen's shoulder hard with his large hand and gave him a fierce hug, saying in a deep voice, "
Chen'er, it's my incompetence that I owe you so much, but I owe you more than just one debt. Please forgive me."
"You... Do you have news about your mother? Long Chen was both surprised and delighted. All his previous disappointment was instantly cast aside, and even his voice began to tremble.
Long Zhantian nodded and said, "There's a clue, so I can't come to pick you up in person. Sorry..."
"No, no, no, there's nothing to apologize for. Father, you must bring Mother back, I ... I ..." At this point, Long Chen's voice choked up and he couldn't continue, tears already glistening in his eyes.
Countless times in his dreams, he dreamed of his mother, hearing only her voice but not seeing her. Every time he woke from the dream, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
This pain was beyond words; even his closest confidante was never mentioned. This was the weakest part of his heart—even when facing his closest people, he didn't want them to see it.
"I understand, don't worry, I can handle it. But you—I'm really worried. You've caught the best of times, and the most terrifying times..." Long Zhantian said, looking at Long Chen.
Long Chen laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it too. From the mortal realm to the immortal realm, among the so-called prodigies of the same rank, I've never submitted."
As long as you can bring mother back, even if the whole world is turned upside down, I will have nothing to fear. Besides, I have a group of brothers who have risked their lives with me—who can do anything to me? As
Long Chen spoke, his spirit soared. Hearing news from his mother greatly lifted his spirits. For him, this was tremendous news, filling him with confidence in the future and fearless of any challenge.
"Hahaha, good, this is what a real man looks like."
Long Zhantian also laughed heartily, his voice full of satisfaction. He turned to look at the surrounding experts and coldly shouted, "
Long Chen is my son. The Heavenly Dao is fierce, and I must not refuse. There's nothing more to say."
But if someone is shameless and bullies the weak, don't blame me for being rude. I'm putting my words here for now, not to scare anyone, but because I'm used to courtesy before force.
Anyone who disagrees can give it a try. I only hope that when I, Long Zhantian, erupt with anger, I hope you will be prepared. Long
Zhantian's meaning was clear: in martial arts competition, thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, and disputes are inevitable, but when it comes to peer rivalry, he won't interfere.
But some people are shameless, bullying the weak with the strong. Just like the previous Heavenly Saint, he will surely seek revenge afterward. Previously, he destroyed the foundation of the Heavenly Saint with a wave of his hand, which was just a small warning and a way to prove to the world that he had such strength.
A single clone could easily suppress the Heavenly Saint—who wouldn't fear such strength? Even if some forces have terrifying powers guarding them, they might not fear Long Zhantian's challenge.
But Long Zhantian won't destroy your sect, so he can at least kill your disciples, right? Since you can use the Heavenly Saint to kill someone's son, it's not too much for them to kill your disciple, right?
So, will the disciples of this faction still be exposed in the future? Are you going to spend your whole life as a cowardly turtle? This is unrealistic. You could say Long Zhantian's words carried an extremely powerful deterrent power.
"I didn't kill that guy..." Long Zhantian said, sending a voice transmission to Long Chen.
"Hehe, I understand." Long Chen chuckled.
Seeing Long Chen understand, Long Zhantian nodded and smiled, patted Long Chen on the shoulder, and his figure quickly dimmed and vanished in an instant.
"Oh my god, it's not even a physical clone."
An Earth Saint exclaimed in surprise. Clones are divided into shadow clones and physical clones. Shadow clones are usually used to confuse opponents. These clones are not very powerful and are usually used as bait to confuse opponents.
Physical clones, on the other hand, are extremely powerful. The strongest can reach about 70% or even 80% of the true body's combat power, while shadow clones usually only reach about 20%, and the strongest never exceed 30%.
Long Zhantian's avatar was so powerful that countless experts couldn't detect it was a clone. If it weren't for the Tianren clan experts pointing it out, very few of the experts present could have recognized it as a clone.
Yet the clone that had waved his hand to suppress the Heavenly Saint was merely a shadow clone, which shocked the powerful beings present even more. Even among the Heavenly Saints, the gap was simply too great.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was shocked by Long Zhantian's avatar, the void suddenly shattered. A figure tore through the air, struck at Long Chen with a palm, and with another palm strike, the divine might of the Heavenly Saint radiated across the nine heavens. All the powerful figures present were instantly restrained.
"Ren Xuefeng!"
Someone exclaimed. The person who made the move was none other than Ren Xuefeng, the Celestial Saint expert of the Tianren Clan who had left earlier. He hadn't left but had hidden away.
"You little bastard, die!"
Ren Xuefeng's face twisted, gritting his teeth like a bloodthirsty beast, ready to kill Long Chen.
The incident happened so suddenly that even Guo Ran and the others didn't react. Seeing Ren Xuefeng return to launch a surprise attack on Long Chen, they couldn't help but feel furious. Yue Zifeng reached out to draw his sword, but it was already too late.
"Pfft"
But just as Ren Xuefeng's palm was about to strike Long Chen, a cold gleam flashed by, and one of Ren Xuefeng's arms shot up into the sky.
