"Come back here!"
A furious shout sounded like thunder exploding—it was the clan leader who was furious. He shouted loudly:
"After living so many years, are you living like a dog? You really have ambition. If you can't beat me, why not fight your son?
If you dare lay a finger on Long Zhantian's son, do you believe that when he returns, he'll drag out your branch and bleed them one by one?
Do you think what Long Zhantian said in front of the Nine Heavens Gate was just to scare those petty scoundrels? Let me tell you, he was telling our Long family, for you to hear. The
clan leader was furious. When a gaunt old man lost his temper, he was like a furious lion, terrifying Long Zaiye into silence and only sitting back in his seat, the gloom on his face his last bit of stubbornness.
Seeing Long Zaiye return to his seat, the clan leader suppressed his anger. After all, Long Zaiye was once one of the Four Great Heavenly Saints, so he couldn't scold him too harshly.
"Long Chen, what's his attitude?" Or perhaps, what is his purpose in coming to our Long family? What no one expected was that after years without speaking, she actually did.
"From what is known, he came to the Tianhuang Domain to collect rare herbs, and has already issued a mission in Mercenary City, asking the mercenaries to help collect them." At this moment, an elder spoke up.
This old man was the Long family's intelligence gathering. As soon as Long Chen arrived, he learned the news and sensed something was seriously wrong. With Long Zhantian's experience, he dared not be negligent and directly informed the clan leader.
He continued, "But before collecting the rare medicine, he killed one of our Long family's inner disciples and dozens of outer disciples..."
"How bold! Father and son are here to cause trouble. People like that should be beaten to death immediately." Long Zaiye shouted angrily.
"Should you wait for me to finish speaking?" The old man responsible for reading the intelligence couldn't help but frown, then continued:
"Coincidentally, Long Ziwei received the news immediately and went to challenge Long Chen to a duel..."
When everyone heard Long Ziwei's name, their faces showed strange expressions, because Lord Tiansi had previously discussed Long Chen's talent and potential and compared him to him.
Long Ziwei remained defiant, desperately improving his strength. During this period, he kept breaking through, like a madman, his combat power soaring all the way to one day. He never expected to achieve it so quickly.
"When does the challenge start?" Someone asked.
"It's already over." The old man said.
"So, what happened?" For a moment, everyone was interested.
The old man read the intelligence from the notebook and replied, "In three breaths, Long Ziwei was defeated. In the early stages, Long Ziwei was the one attacking and Long Chen was defending. In the end, Long Chen slashed once, and Long Ziwei willingly became Long Chen's ... Little brother. "
Bastard, this Long Ziwei usually shows seven or eight dissatisfaction to everyone, yet he actually acts as someone's underling. How is that any different from being a dog?" How could my Long family have such spineless losers? Long Zaiye cursed angrily.
Everyone was slightly surprised. Long Ziwei's strength was obvious to all, even though he had always been in tenth place without advancing.
But you have to understand, the people in front of him are all monster-level beings, and behind him is a whole group of perverts coveting his spot. The fact that he can consistently hold tenth place is already impressive.
Who would have thought that Long Ziwei would be defeated by Long Chen with such complete admitted defeat and become his underling? So-called underlings are just mere followers in the cultivation world—truly embarrassing.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Although Long Ziwei wasn't the strongest, his temper was notorious.
He was a regular at the Discipline Hall and had been punished countless times, but his temper remained stubborn. If it weren't for his talent, he would have been beaten to death long ago. Yet this stubborn donkey actually became someone's underling, which was unimaginable.
The old man continued, "There's another strange phenomenon. In Mercenary City, Long Chen began teaching some mercenaries a technique called the Galaxy Sky Technique, which caused a huge stir. Now, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries have started practicing it. In their eyes, Long Chen and his son are like gods." "
Tch, Long Zhantian and his son are out of their minds. What's the point of being so good to a bunch of ants? If you can't make it up, do you still expect these people to help them win the world? Long Zaiye sneered.
However, the other experts looked somewhat surprised. Back when Long Zhantian tried to secure benefits for those mercenaries, they found it somewhat odd.
And when Long Chen arrived, he actually taught them cultivation techniques. What exactly are these father and son really up to? Although they didn't know much about Long Zhantian, given his decisive and ruthless personality, he seemed unlikely to do useless things, nor was he the kind of good-for-nothing type. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so ruthless when killing the Long family's strong members.
"What exactly is this kid trying to do?" Someone couldn't help but mutter.
"According to information from Long Ziwei, Long Chen has no intention of contacting our Long family. After collecting the rare herbs, he plans to leave. These are the rare herbs he sought out during his mission."
After the old man finished speaking, he showed a sheet of paper densely documenting hundreds of rare medicines. Everyone was stunned, and someone couldn't help but say, "
There are many rare rare medicines on it. We don't even have them in our own warehouse. Are you sure he's here to collect rare medicines?"
Most of the rare herbs mentioned above are unique to the Tianhuang Domain, and many of them are extremely renowned, classified as supreme treasures, extremely rare. There are several rare herbs that even the Long family doesn't have.
There used to be some, but after they were used up, there was no replenishment, which made people start to question Long Chen's motives.
"Is he deliberately using the collection of rare medicines as an excuse, waiting for our Long family to extend an olive branch to him? Or perhaps he is in some trouble now, or Lingxiao Academy is in trouble and wants to ask the Long family for help? "Someone said.
Everyone nodded. Now that he said it, it was indeed possible. Long Chen felt embarrassed to come and seek refuge, hoping the Long family would contact him first, so he would have a way out.
Long Zaiye sneered and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lord Tiansi. He said calmly, "
You all don't understand Long Chen well. He disdains using these little tricks. Maybe someone can cut off his head, but no one can make him bow his head."
Lord Tiansi's words were resolute. He had met countless people in his life and had an absolute accuracy in judging people, never making a mistake. People like Long Chen would never use such tricks. Seeing these people judge a gentleman with petty hearts made him extremely annoyed.
"Huff."
Lord Tiansi stood up and said calmly, "I've said all I have to say. As for how to choose, that's up to you." After
speaking, Lord Tiansi walked away without even glancing at the crowd. When he stepped outside the main hall, he looked up at the sky, shook his head, and sighed, leaving behind a lonely silhouette for everyone inside.
