"Since you're courting death, don't blame me." Although Long Chen knew this was a trap, a conspiracy by Di Xin's mother, and an extremely childish and simple scheme at that.
Such a childish trap—if Long Chen jumped in, he'd be a brainless idiot.
But the will in Long Chen's mind wouldn't allow him to escape, nor would he try to take shortcuts. It was just about forcing him to break through. The Dragonbone Evil Moon slowly rose, and an invisible chilling aura surged.
"Are you guys outnumbering people?"
At that moment, a familiar cold shout rang out. A dense crowd approached—it was Shen Chengfeng leading the soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion.
"Whoosh!"
The soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion immediately surrounded the area.
Chock!
One long sword after another was drawn. The hundred thousand Tianlong Army surrounded this area so tightly that not even water could pass through. The Eighth Tianlong Legion, which had won consecutive great victories, was no longer the lifeless state of its past; like a rusted divine weapon, it began to shine with its own brilliance.
"Shen Chengfeng, what do you mean?" The deputy commander of the Second Heavenly Dragon Legion, seeing Shen Chengfeng's expression, shouted sternly.
"What do you mean?" Can't you understand this? Whatever the sword in your hand means, that's what we mean.
Long Chen is now the commander-in-chief of our Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion. Even I, as the commander, have to listen to him. You're leading people to surround our commander—what do you mean by that? Shen Chengfeng walked over and said calmly.
At this moment, Shen Chengfeng had shed his usual caution and seemed like a different person. He spoke with confidence, his tone brimming with strong self-assurance.
After Long Chen went to meet Elder Long Qi, Elder Long called Shen Chengfeng aside and asked if he understood now.
Shen Chengfeng nodded at the time. Elder Long patted his shoulder and told him that the Long family needed useful people. Loyalty was precious, but if loyalty was useless, the Long family wouldn't need to invest heavily in cultivating someone.
With Long Chen's inspiration and Elder Long's most direct guidance this time, he now understood what he needed to do and what his trump cards were.
"Long Chen was disrespectful to Lord Zhiqing. I'm asking him to apologize. What fault is there?" The deputy commander of the Dragon Legion said coldly.
He wasn't surprised either. Shen Chengfeng now seemed like a different person, completely different from the Shen Chengfeng he used to know. For a moment, Shen Chengfeng's aura was actually intimidating.
"Long Chen has shown disrespect to Lord Zhiqing. Even if he is at fault, it should be handled by the Heavenly Division. Since when did you, as a deputy commander, have such authority to deal with others?" Shen Chengfeng sneered.
After speaking, he turned to Long Chen and said, "Brother Long, don't stoop to the level of people like this. Don't let your mood get up. Let's go, I happen to need your help." Long
Chen smiled slightly, put away the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, and left together with Shen Chengfeng. The soldiers of the Second Heavenly Dragon Legion didn't dare to stop them, as the hundred thousand Heavenly Dragon warriors pointed their swords at them, and their hearts were filled with anxiety.
Di Feng and Di Xin's mother watched Long Chen and Shen Chengfeng leave. Di Xin's mother's eyes were filled with hatred. Just now, she had been so close to taking Long Chen down.
If Long Chen dared to kill here, even the Long family wouldn't be able to protect him. Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Shen Chengfeng.
"Mother, please don't be angry. I swore I would kill Long Chen and avenge my younger brother. Long Chen, he will surely die by my hand in the future." Di Feng held Di Xin's mother, looking every bit the filial son.
"Feng'er, you really are a good child. Don't worry, our Ye family will fully support you. With your talent and our financial backing, killing Long Chen won't be difficult." Di Xin's mother said.
Di Feng nodded, but deep in his eyes was a cold smile as he helped Di Xin's mother away.
The deputy commander who stood up for Emperor Xin's mother didn't even glance at them. The deputy commander left with a grim face.
...
"Who exactly is that woman?" Why do you call her 'Lady'? "Long Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shen Chengfeng said, "Within the direct lineage of the Divine Clan, those with noble bloodlines are called 'Master.'
As for Lord Zhiqing, he actually has great talent and strong bloodline, but because of his stubborn personality and lack of motivation for martial arts, his talent was wasted.
The Ye family's higher-ups were extremely angry and had once forced her to cultivate. In a fit of anger, Lord Zhiqing actually fled to the Tianwu Continent, only to somehow be seduced by the Emperor Dragon of Tianwu Continent.
The Ancient Family Alliance had always had some connection with the Ye family. Later, when they found out, they discovered that Lady Zhiqing was already pregnant, which angered the Ye family's senior members and nearly killed her.
But since they were close relatives, they didn't make a move. The matter was just settled. Lord Zhiqing remained on the Tianwu Continent, and the two lived peacefully. This scandal gradually faded into obscurity.
But one day, Lord Zhiqing suddenly returned. It turned out her son had actually been killed by you. She came back to ask the Ye family to stand up and avenge her son.
But at that time, under the influence of fortune, the Divine Clan hadn't yet taken over the Tianwu Continent, so the matter was put on hold. That's why the Ye family is targeting you so much. Shen Chengfeng explained.
Long Chen suddenly understood: "I see. Wait, wait, you just said, what kind of close blood relatives?" Who is that woman's closest relative? "
This Lady Zhiqing is the great-granddaughter of the Ye family head. Her cultivation isn't high, but her status is not low. By the way, that Ye Yaochen is her half-brother." Shen Chengfeng said.
"No wonder he has such great influence. Di Long really has some skills, climbing onto such a huge backing.
So, the Ancient Family Alliance was supported by the Ye family a very, very long time ago, and it was precisely because of this that the Mo family was driven out of the Ancient Family Alliance? Long Chen asked.
The ancestors of the Mo Nian family and the head of the Emperor Dragon both followed the Blood Emperor. After the Blood Emperor died, the Mo family was supposed to take charge of the Ancient Family Alliance, but the Di family suddenly made a move, framing the Mo family and joining forces with the Blood Queen's descendants to jointly exterminate the Mo family, severely weakening the Mohist family and nearly wiping them out.
If Shen Chengfeng said this, then after the Blood Emperor's death, the Ye family began to infiltrate the Ancient Clan Alliance, and the relationship between the two was very ambiguous.
This is also why, despite wandering the continent, Di Xin's mother became pregnant with the Emperor Dragon's child. Perhaps the Ancient Family Alliance is essentially a branch of the Ye family.
"Well, I really don't know." Shen Chengfeng shook his head. He wasn't qualified to know about matters of this level. Besides, knowing too much in the Divine Clan was never a good thing.
"Alright, aren't you going to leave? Why are you back again? "Long Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.
Because Ye Lingfeng and the others were heading straight for the teleportation array, they were now following Long Chen toward the treasury.
"Hehe, we really have something to discuss with you. Since you came, we already have quite a few points on hand.
But looking at the treasures in the treasury, my eyes were blurry. I don't want you to laugh at me when I was poor. When I was poor, I thought about having money; now that I have money, I don't know how to use it.
Weapons, armor, elixirs, siege engines, and so on—this money must be spent where it matters most. I can't find where the blade is right now, I'm afraid of spending itWrong. Shen Chengfeng said with a bitter smile.
The current Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion is a typical case of poor people getting rich—rich but afraid to spend recklessly, wanting to spend every point on the right place.
After entering the treasury, his eyes were blurred from looking around, and he felt even more lost. After careful discussion, he decided to let Long Chen come up with a plan. But as soon as he reached the teleportation array, he saw Long Chen surrounded by people.
Shen Chengfeng quickly made his move. If Long Chen killed people here, it would be a huge problem. This would be a slap in the face to the Divine Clan. The Long family wanted to protect him but had no good excuse, so Shen Chengfeng arrived at just the right time.
"How many points do you have now?" Long Chen asked.
"We've already exchanged all our gains from the last great battle, totaling 1.2 million points. This time, the family rewarded us with 300,000 points, totaling 1.5 million points. You could say our Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion has never seen so much money before. Spending it is a bit nerve-wracking." Shen Chengfeng chuckled.
The entire Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion was rewarded with 300,000 points for 100,000 people, and Long Chen himself also received 300,000 points. The reward was truly extraordinary.
"Let's go, take me inside to have a look." Long Chen said.
Shen Chengfeng ordered the other Tianlong warriors to guard outside. After all, so many people couldn't enter the treasury together. He only brought two deputy commanders, plus Long Chen, making a total of four people inside.
Following the corridor forward, passing a cloud bridge, they headed straight for a high mountain. It was a massive stone mountain, towering into the clouds. The entire mountain was adorned with countless runes, resembling a geese egg covered in patterns, seamlessly integrated.
The Cloud Bridge was right in the middle of the goose egg, and on it, countless divine clan powerhouses shuttled back and forth, creating a lively scene.
"This is the only treasure trove of our Divine Clan. All the strong warriors of the Divine Clan come here to exchange for what they need.
So this is a stronghold of the Divine Clan. Long Chen, you better take it easy—you can't act recklessly here. Shen Chengfeng warned sternly.
Some things are better off being given advance notice. After spending so much time together, he had gotten a good grasp of Long Chen's temper.
When calm, Long Chen is incredibly clever, playing enemies with ease. Once he loses his composure, he becomes a madman—intelligence is completely out of reach—he's capable of anything.
That situation just now was extremely dangerous. Di Xin's mother could easily move her mouth and drag Long Chen into a trap. Sometimes Shen Chengfeng couldn't figure out what Long Chen was really thinking.
When formulating battle plans, he commanded calmly. The strategist Long Chen, who had been winning from afar from home, suddenly became brainless. Shen Chengfeng couldn't understand it, but he reminded him that it was absolutely necessary.
"Don't worry, I won't make a move easily..." Long Chen laughed, "Unless... I couldn't help it. Shen
Chengfeng: "..."
The other two deputy commanders: "..."
