This time, the Dragonblood Legion and the Hidden Dragon Legion faced off head-on. Just hearing the names of the two legions, everyone already knew the situation.
The female warriors of the Hidden Dragon Legion had always been filled with curiosity and anticipation for the mysterious Dragonblood Legion. However, when they saw the Dragonblood Warriors, they were so nervous they couldn't speak. Their pretty faces flushed red, and they were even afraid to look at them.
Even Xiaoyue, who was always known for her fierceness and decisiveness, now felt a bit shy and didn't dare to speak.
The Hidden Dragon warriors were extremely nervous, and the Dragon Blood warriors weren't much better off. They had followed Long Chen for so many years—how could they not know what he was thinking?
But this group of warriors, who would never frown even through battles of blades and bloodshed, were now a bit nervous. Even the usually flamboyant Guo Ran didn't know how to break the awkward situation.
"A bunch of useless bastards." Seeing the dragonblood warriors looking so timid, Long Chen couldn't help but be speechless.
"Hehe, if they had half your skin, they wouldn't be single." Tang Wan'er couldn't help but giggle.
"Damn, are you complimenting me or insulting me?" Long Chen rolled his eyes.
Tang Wan'er just smiled without saying a word, but this awkward situation had to be broken. If everyone didn't understand each other, how could they proceed to the next step of communication?
"This is the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. As its owner, shouldn't you introduce it to the guests? Aren't you going to show them around here?" Long Chen couldn't help but remind him.
Only then did Guo Ran realize and hurriedly said, "Fairies, please honor us by following us brothers in and let us show our hospitality."
Guo Ran was also clumsy with words. He couldn't say those nice words at this moment, but no matter what, as long as others understood, that was enough.
Following Guo Ran's movement, the Dragonblood Warriors collectively made a gesture inviting them in. The Hidden Dragon Warriors blushed deeply, not daring to look at them, and could only nervously walk over.
The Wanlong Nest was enormous inside, filled with countless barriers, countless chambers, and even hidden small worlds containing countless secret techniques of the dragon clan.
Long Chen knew that most of the romance between Dragonblood Warriors and Hidden Dragon Warriors was a complete blank slate, so letting them interact on their own needed a starting point.
The dragon clan's magical arts and divine abilities are the best entry point. This way, they have common topics to talk about, even sparring and exchanging ideas. Once the conversation opens up, both sides won't be so tense.
Some disciples of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, who couldn't see through the situation, actually wanted to go in with them, but were stopped by those with good sense. They were on a blind date—what kind of thing is going in for you?
"Brothers, you can also visit the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest on your own. Inside the nest are dragon clan spells and divine powers, as well as challenge arenas. If interested, you can study and study together." Long Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. The dragon clan had always been mysterious, and for Long Chen to share their secrets with them showed he truly regarded them as one of his own.
Long Chen not only shared the original Jiuli Divine Talisman with them, but also revealed the secret of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to them, which deeply moved them. Compared to the gains, they cherished Long Chen's trust even more.
Long Chen's divine skills were unparalleled, his spirit vast and mighty. Facing such a prodigy, they could only look up to him. To be trusted by such a person was the highest honor.
The Dragonblood Legion acted as guides, leading the Hidden Dragon warriors deep into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, explaining how they defeated the terrifying beings inside the checkpoint and what divine abilities they obtained.
The Hidden Dragon warriors not only learned about the hardships they endured back then, but also tried to break through and fiercely battle the dragon clan experts inside.
The Dragonblood Warriors would personally demonstrate the dragon clan divine abilities within the checkpoint, communicate with the Hidden Dragon Warriors, and both sides would step in to verify the results. Soon, both sides became familiar with each other.
One group was passionate men, the other kind women. They embarked on the path of cultivation to change their fate, enduring countless hardships and dangers. They shared the same goals and shared many common topics, gradually developing a feeling of regret for meeting sooner.
At first, the Hidden Dragon warriors were extremely nervous, because they knew that every warrior in the Hidden Dragon Legion was terrifyingly strong.
Such a powerful figure is arrogant, indifferent, and untouchable in any sect, often looking down on others with condescending attitudes.
But after getting to know them, they realized that the Dragonblood Warriors were all warm, honest young men. Being with them made people let down all their guard, and that sense of security was something they had never experienced before.
The Dragonblood warriors also discovered that the girls of the Hidden Dragon Legion were kind-hearted, and seeing them naturally made them want to protect them.
Previously, the Dragonblood warriors had not dared to get involved in matters of love for the sake of cultivation, even though Long Chen had repeatedly reminded them that only by understanding true love could one comprehend the true Dao of Heaven. Loving someone is also a form of cultivation.
However, the Dragonblood warriors had witnessed the deaths of Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Qingxuan with their own eyes. The pain was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Long Chen's anguished expression pierced their hearts deeply.
Even someone as powerful as Long Chen couldn't protect his lover—how could they dare touch love? If a man cannot even protect his beloved, he doesn't know if he still has the courage to live.
So, for so many years, the Dragon Blood warriors had devoted themselves to cultivation, cutting away their desires for love. But today, seeing those pure faces and kind eyes, their steel-like hearts gradually softened.
"Long Chen."
Long Chen and Tang Wan'er were in a grand hall. On the walls, images appeared of the Dragon Blood Warriors and Hidden Dragon Warriors holding hands, singing and dancing. Tang Wan'er held Long Chen's hand, resting her pretty face on his shoulder and softly said:
"If there were no conflict, no killing, Perhaps this Wanlong Nest is the heavenly kingdom we dream of."
Long Chen reached out and tightly embraced Tang Wan'er's fragrant shoulder, inhaling her unique fragrance. He smiled slightly and said, "
With each other in our hearts, where isn't heaven?"
Tang Wan'er listened to Long Chen's words and immediately smiled sweetly. This guy really knew how to talk. She said leisurely, "
Longing for you in two places where we share snow—can this life count as growing old together? Long Chen, I suddenly miss them so much."
When she said the last sentence, Tang Wan'er couldn't help but choke up. She thought of Mengqi, Chu Yao, Ye Zhiqiu, and the other sisters.
Now, she was no longer the Tang Wan'er who only knew how to get jealous and throw tantrums. After all the setbacks and hardships, she had grown up. Whenever she thought of how her sisters once cared for and tolerated her, she felt a wave of shame and guilt.
Now she leaned against Long Chen, enjoying his embrace, but she didn't even know where the other sisters were, or whether they were alive or dead. Thinking of this, her heart ached as if cut by a knife.
Hearing Tang Wan'er's words, Long Chen felt a wave of heartache. Thinking of so many confidants missing without a trace, his heart was about to break.
"I have to become stronger. The Reverse Scale of the Imperial Path must be mine."
Long Chen gritted his teeth, knowing that only great strength could allow him to reunite with them sooner, driving the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest slowly toward the Reverse Scale of the Imperial Daoand sped away.
