"Big brother, before I listen, have a bowl of noodles first."
Long Ziwei had just taken those female disciples out to work for a while, so he told Long Chen to wait a moment. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Long Ziwei came running over carrying a bowl of steaming hot noodles.
Long Chen looked puzzled: "You all made a big fuss just to make me a bowl of noodles?" "
Go ahead and eat. This is a small token from my little brother." Long Ziwei said.
Long Chen was speechless. Why did Long Ziwei seem a bit neurotic, different from a normal person? But since he meant well, Long Chen couldn't refuse. He picked up his bowl and ate while saying, "
You left with the Golden Bull just now. Why did you only come back by chariot?" What about the two golden bulls? Wow... This beef is pretty good! Long
Chen took a bite of the meat in the noodles and immediately exclaimed in admiration.
"They're cursing in the distance!" Long Ziwei chuckled.
Long Chen was stunned at first, then he understood—so this is how the bowl of beef noodles came about. For a moment, he found himself both amused and exasperated.
A female disciple on the Heavenly Ranking covered her mouth and laughed, "Four oxen only took a piece of essence the size of a fist, just enough to make this bowl of noodles." "
Hehe, isn't this showing my respect for big brother? Anyway, they're not dead. After resting for a while, they'll be fine." Long Ziwei chuckled.
Fang Liude and the others wore strange expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to. Could it be that the stronger a person is, the more astonishing their thinking tends to be?
Long Chen finished the noodles in a few bites and invited everyone to sit together. He introduced everyone to Long Ziwei. There was one thing Long Chen appreciated: he wasn't putting on airs. Whether it was introducing Gui Jiu, Fang Liude, Yu Ying, and others, he greeted them all.
But those few women always maintained an attitude of keeping people at arm's length. Even if they appeared polite on the surface, their pride deep down could not be changed.
When Fang Liude and the others appeared at Gui Jiu, they treated him with utmost respect and dared not speak. When Long Ziwei appeared, Gui Jiu stood nearby without daring to breathe, and in front of Long Chen, Long Ziwei was extremely cautious, not daring to act recklessly. The whole scene looked somewhat awkward.
When asked about Long Zhantian's entry into the Long family, Long Ziwei said that at the time, he was still competing with someone in the arena. He had just defeated a challenger when he heard an alarm.
You have to know, nowadays, the Long family members seem to forget what the alarm sounded. It hadn't sounded for countless years, because the Long family dominated the Tianhuang Domain, and no one had ever dared to cause trouble here.
Within the Demon Sea, although there are endless sea demons and demons, the Dragon family's strong warriors battle the Demon Sea several times a year—firstly to provide training for their disciples, and secondly to prevent their numbers from growing too rapidly and launching surprise attacks.
With this, everything was under control. The Long family had always been the safest, so people had almost forgotten what era it was when the Long family's alarm sounded the last time.
It is said that when Long Zhantian arrived at the Long family, he was harassed by powerful members who forced him to prove he was a member of the Long family, and then Long Zhantian slew him with a single sword strike.
As a result, countless Long family experts attacked, but Long Zhantian remained silent. With just one man and one sword, he fought his way from the main gate into the main hall. Wherever he went, Long family experts were killed or wounded.
It was clear that someone was challenging the entire Long family. Among the Long family's Heavenly Saints, none were truly a general who could withstand Long Zhantian's One Strike. One of the Four Great Heavenly Saints had one arm severed by Long Zhantian's sword.
Long Qihua, the first of the four great Heavenly Saints, charged out. The two did not confront each other in front of the Long family's main hall; Long Ziwei was present at that moment.
According to him, the two didn't fight at the time, but when they stayed still, the surrounding space kept twisting, spatial blades flying, lightning flashing everywhere, and the terrifying pressure triggered a phenomenon between heaven and earth. Day instantly turned into night, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
Speaking of this scene, Long Ziwei was still extremely excited. At that time, countless strong members of the Long family had witnessed it with their own eyes and were all shocked.
Just as Long Qihua was about to act, the ancestor's Dharma Body appeared, stopped the war, and had a private conversation with Long Zhantian.
However, no one knew exactly what they discussed. After that, Long Zhantian settled down at the Long family, and the family leaders seemed unwilling to let him attract too much attention, so much of his information was kept secret.
He only announced that he had become the new Four Heavenly Saints, replacing the one whose arm he had severed, and claimed that Long Zhantian had used the authority of the Four Heavenly Saints, allowing mercenaries greater hunting ranges and operational space.
At the same time, if any Long family disciple killed mercenaries at will, Long Zhantian would use his authority to execute them. He wanted to give the mercenaries enough dignity and hope.
When the news broke, the Long family's powerful figures were in an uproar. Countless people openly opposed it. In their eyes, those mercenaries were nothing but lowly people—beggars and slaves. How could they have so much power?
However, the Long family's senior members said this news not for discussion, but as an announcement. If anyone objected, they could choose to challenge Long Zhantian. As long as Long Zhantian was defeated, he would have the right to change the rules.
Then the entire Long family fell silent. The Long family was unhappy, while the mercenaries and rogue cultivators who came to the Tianhuang Domain were so excited they were moved to tears. As for why Long Zhantian made this decision, no one knew.
"Let me explain!"
Having been listening to Long Ziwei's introduction, Yu Ying mustered up her courage and said, "Because the Battle Heaven Saint Emperor came to Tianhuang and stayed in our Mercenary City for a while, he saw the Long family's outer disciples bullying and slaughtering us at will, so he stood up for us."
He once told us to guard the kindness and justice in your hearts. The heavenly will will not always favor the wicked, and our opportunity will come soon.
The Battle Heavenly Holy Emperor is a god in our hearts. His words are always remembered in our hearts. No matter what grievances and humiliations we experience, we will always guard our true selves. "
Opportunity has arrived?" Guarding one's true heart? "
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Could this be a hint left for him by his father? With his old man's wisdom, he would never do anything meaningless. How could he have stayed in Mercenary City for so long? What did he see? What is the deeper meaning behind this?
Fang Liude also added, "The Battle Heaven Saint Emperor also said that although this world is shrouded in dark clouds, it is ultimately only temporary. One day, we will finally see a brilliant galaxy we have never seen before." "
Xinghe?"
Long Chen suddenly slapped his thigh and jumped up, a look of ecstatic joy appearing on his face:
"I understand what Daddy means now."
