"A man doomed to die?" Brother Long Chen, did you drug him? Ling'er asked in surprise.
Long Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood, half amused and half crying as he said, "Ling'er, you've lived so many years, can you be more precise with your words? Are you trying to say poisoning?" "
Yes, that's exactly what it means." Ling'er said.
Long Chen was speechless. The word 'drugged' instantly reminded people of some kind of filthy and filthy dealing, which sounded rather harsh.
My buddy is a grown man, and going to drug an old man feels so awkward no matter how you hear it.
"Brother Long Chen, although I have lived countless years, my soul is independent.
I never tried to merge with those people's souls. I was afraid that once I fused with them, I would no longer be myself.
So, I only check their soul memories when needed, search for something, or temporarily use their soul to control my voice and tone. Ling'er explained.
Long Chen suddenly understood. No wonder when he first met Ling'er, her voice was an old man, and his tone was extremely arrogant.
He also said that young people shouldn't take too big steps, as it might cause trouble. Long Chen had always found this strange, but now he finally understood.
Long Chen piloted the flying boat, speeding all the way without sensing any danger. It seemed no one was chasing him, so he relaxed considerably.
At this moment, Ling'er transformed into a little girl, obediently sitting beside Long Chen, her big eyes looking at him, hoping he would help her understand her questions. She was very adorable.
Long Chen rubbed Ling'er's head and said, "What you're doing is right. If you fuse the memories of so many people, you'll get lost in it and eventually never find yourself."
In reality, human hearts are full of schemes and conspiracies, but ultimately, it's all for the ultimate goal. Once the goal is achieved, any traces unfavorable to oneself will be immediately cleaned up.
That old man was completely used by the Emperor Dragon father and son. As soon as I leave, he will be killed by the Emperor Dragon and his son. "
Why?" Ling'er tilted her little head, her big watery eyes full of confusion.
"Because once that old man died, all the evidence disappeared. They could find any excuse to cover up the matter.
For example, this guy is a mortal enemy of the Mohists. Their attacks on the Mohists are purely personal grudges and have nothing to do with the ancient noble families' alliance.
Then, for the sake of the dignity of the Ancient Family Alliance, she killed him as a warning, and then informed Feng Fei of the result, giving her an explanation.
In this way, the conspiracy would be flawless, and the truth would have been covered up. So, could this old man still live? Long Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Long Chen, you're so smart, seeing everything so clearly. Why did you still fall into a trap?
You can easily come up with a way to expose the conspiracy between the Di family father and son, while also keeping a low profile with Feng Fei. The little girl asked.
"That's a good question." Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Brother Long Chen, why do you smile so strangely?" Ling'er asked.
Long Chen sighed and said, "I can see through others, but unfortunately, I can't see through myself."
Even if I see through myself, sometimes I am beyond my control. "
What's the point of seeing through it?" Long Chen could have explained, secretly sent a message to Feng Fei, or even shown her the Mohist family's attack on the Memory Jade.
But seeing Feng Fei's cold face and her condescending tone, Long Chen immediately lost interest in explaining. If everyone was on friendly terms, explanation would be a form of communication.
But if the other person looks at someone through their nose and then tries to explain, that would be a form of compromise. Making Long Chen humble himself to explain to others is something Long Chen really can't do.
Sometimes Long Chen was conflicted; many times, his wisdom was useless; his temper controlled everything.
"Brother Long Chen, you look so pale. Let me take you flying, you get some rest." Ling'er looked at Long Chen's dark expression and said worriedly.
"It's fine, we're almost there."
Long Chen shook his head. He knew his injuries—not only had he exhausted all his soul power this time, but even his five-star star had been damaged.
What troubled Long Chen most was that he didn't know where the five-star injuries were, nor how to heal them. For now, he could only rely on them to heal on their own.
However, Long Chen was not afraid, because he sensed that the five great stars were undergoing self-healing and should recover on their own soon.
Although they fought Feng Fei to a draw, Long Chen knew he was the one who lost by a margin.
Long Chen thought he could use his powerful soul power to wear Feng Fei down, defending without attacking, and exhausting her soul power.
In fact, Feng Fei was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Her soul power was only a hair's breadth weaker, but her control over soul attacks was far superior to his.
Unfortunately, the Dan Emperor's memory and control over soul power were limited to alchemy, with no related memories in battles. This meant that although his soul power was formidable, he couldn't use it, which was quite frustrating.
Long Chen also wanted to learn soul cultivation techniques from Meng Qi, but he really didn't have time and was too busy to manage everything.
Forget about cultivating soul techniques—he didn't even have time to improve his realm in alchemy or perfect the Nether Gate Star, let alone study soul techniques.
"Long Chen, are you hurt?"
When Long Chen returned, Old Master Mo Yi was shocked to see Long Chen's expression and was shocked. Who could be so terrifying to injure Long Chen like this?
"It's nothing, just a little accident. I'll go check on Mo Nian."
Long Chen signaled that he was fine. When he saw Mo Nian again, Mo Nian's body's vitality had begun to recover. It seemed the Star Space was safe, and his soul was slowly returning to his body.
However, because his soul and body had been separated for so long, he needed some time to wake up. Since Mo Nian was not in danger, Long Chen felt at ease.
"It looks like Nian'er will wake up in just one more day. Long Chen, why don't you stay here and let me help you heal? In my opinion, your origin seems injured. My power of reincarnation should be of some help." The Mo family patriarch said to Long Chen.
After all, he was a fourth-step expert in the Tongming Realm. In his eyes, Long Chen's spiritual root was damaged and could only be slowly repaired with the power of reincarnation.
However, this kind of recovery would be a huge burden for him and would harm his very origin. But just because Long Chen was willing to risk his life to enter the Underworld for Mo Nian, no matter how great the burden, he would take action.
Long Chen shook his head. He didn't even have a spiritual root. He had no source of origin; the Five Great Stars simply couldn't repair them with external force, so he could only take it slow.
"Senior, I appreciate your kindness. I can handle this minor injury myself. Judging by the time, in three days, the Star Domain Divine Realm will open."
Mo Nian's body should also recover to its peak condition. Let's all gather together at the Divine Clan then. I'll tell him everything in person when the time comes." "
After Long Chen finished speaking,Ignoring the Mo family patriarch's plea, he left using the Mo family's teleportation array. After two teleportations, he arrived at the Tianwu Alliance headquarters.
"Kid, where have you been? Who hurt you like this?"
Seeing Long Chen's appearance, the old man nearly lost his temper on the spot, because Long Chen's face was ashen, as if his lifespan was nearing its end.
Qu Jianying and the others were startled; Long Chen's aura was too weak, his eyes had lost their usual brilliance, making people feel sorry for him.
"I'm fine, I'm much better now. My body is gradually recovering." Long Chen signaled everyone not to worry.
In fact, Long Chen did feel much better. During this period, the five great stars, which had been somewhat dim, began to slowly regain their luster and started nourishing his body. According to Long Chen's estimate, in another day and one night, he would be fully restored.
"Tell me, which shameless old bastard did it? I'll go help you cut him down." The old man said angrily.
According to his estimation, it must have been a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert, and only a top-tier expert at this level could do it. This was also the reason he was furious.
Long Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "Don't even mention it. This time, I embarrassed you. I was injured by someone with cultivation levels comparable to mine." "
Impossible."
Not only the old man, but even Qu Jianying, Li Tianxuan, and the others couldn't believe that among those of the same rank, there was actually someone who could hurt Long Chen?
"Is it Di Feng?" Or Tian Xiezi? "
Everyone asked. In their eyes, among those of the same rank, being enemies was probably only two people who could do it.
Last time when Long Chen crossed the tribulation, he displayed his divine power, killing the two so badly that they fled in disarray and disappeared, never daring to come out again. Could it be that they had some extraordinary encounter and their combat power surged?
"Not them, but from the Divine Clan. Her name is Feng Fei." Long Chen had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Feng Fei?" You ... You ... He actually made a move with her? Qu Jianying and the others were shocked.
"You know her?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Of course I know. Three days ago, she came to the Tianwu Alliance to ask about the quota for our Star Domain Divine Realm.
Oh my god, we've all seen Feng Fei and consider her the most likely among all the prodigies to become emperors. You actually fought her, no wonder she got hurt. Qu Jianying and the others looked shocked. She looked at Long Chen and said irritably,
"You fool, why did you end up fighting her? Now look at it—you've been defeated. Do you feel good about it?"
"What are you talking about? What happened to Feng Fei? Why can't we just make a move? Seeing
Qu Jianying complain about Long Chen, the old man's face immediately darkened: "Long Chen fighting her must have a reason he had no choice but to act. Even if he lost, so what? Who would scold a child like you?" Qu
Jianying was scolded and instantly became angry, but upon hearing the last sentence, he realized he had gone too far. Long Chen had lost, and he must feel bad inside. If he blamed him, it would only make him feel even more disappointed.
Qu Jianying was about to comfort Long Chen a few words, but Long Chen scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's not really a loss. She's not as badly hurt as I am—at most, it's a draw." "
What?"
For a moment, everyone stared at Long Chen in shock.
