"Boss, just say what you need to arrange." Bai Xiaole patted his chest excitedly.
Bai Xiaole had never been valued at the academy, and his father kept hitting him. This kid felt a certain sense of inferiority inside.
But after being with Long Chen, everyone treated him as a friend. No one looked down on him. Moreover, he had previously shown off his skills by performing an instant teleportation. The shocked stares from the crowd greatly satisfied his vanity, and now he was full of energy.
"Use the power of space, exit from here, and use my nameplate to send out a signal. Gather all the academy disciples." Long Chen said.
"Boss, this ... This place is too deep; my spatial power probably can't penetrate it. "Bai Xiaole said somewhat awkwardly.
His spatial power was inherited from his mother, but this innate divine ability hadn't awakened. He could only teleport at close range, and if there were obstacles, the distance would be reduced again.
"It's fine. Teleport out in this direction. There's a collapse here with a thin barrier. With your abilities, you can get out easily." Long Chen pointed in a direction.
Bai Xiaole formed hand seals and sensed it slightly, his face lighting up with surprise:
"Boss, you're amazing! How did you know there was a collapse here?"
Long Chen smiled slightly. This was the Tongtian Stone Spirit who had told him. Although he said he would only help Long Chen once, he was grateful for Long Chen's help. Besides fighting, he still tried his best to help Long Chen.
He has the Heavenly Eye that can see through the earth's crust, which is extremely easy for him.
"Xiao Le, gather the manpower and immediately surround the entrance of the passage. Wait for my orders. Once I make a move, your side will immediately launch an attack and block the passage. We want to keep all the strong figures from the five major powers here, so none of them can escape alive." Long Chen reminded Bai Xiaole.
Bai Xiaole was thrilled and immediately cast a spatial spell, disappearing just like that. Long Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart—having good parents is so important for a cultivator.
Bai Xiaole, due to his innate limitations, had not awakened his talent, yet he already possessed such terrifying abilities. If he did, he could ascend to heaven or earth, and few people would be able to stop him.
Hearing Long Chen want to keep all the strong figures from the five major powers here, even Bai Shishi's heart skipped a beat. Long Chen usually joked and wasn't very reliable, but she hadn't expected him to be so ruthless, actually wanting to wipe out all five major forces.
"You let Xiao Le handle such a big task. Aren't you afraid he'll make some mistakes?" Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen and said.
"Anyone who can stick with me, Long Chen, must be someone who can stand on their own. I trust him." Long Chen said confidently.
Seeing Bai Shishi about to speak, Long Chen suddenly smiled: "What's wrong?" Are you worried he'll mess things up, or worry he's in danger? "
Why should I worry about him?" Bai Shishi's expression turned cold, and she said indifferently.
Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi and smiled without saying a word.
"What are you looking at?" Being stared at by Long Chen the whole time, Bai Shishi felt a bit uneasy. It seemed as if Long Chen's eyes could see through a person's soul, making them uneasy.
"Your skin is pretty good." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Do I need you to praise me?" Unexpectedly, Long Chen said this, catching Bai Shishi off guard. Her beautiful cheeks flushed slightly as she turned away and stopped looking at Long Chen.
Bai Shishi was cold and aloof, somewhat self-admiring, usually disliked interacting with men, and even developed an inexplicable aversion toward them.
Even the so-called most handsome young master of the academy, Young Master Changchuan, couldn't be bothered to spare him a glance. In all their time at the academy, the two had never exchanged more than ten sentences.
Throughout Lingxiao Academy, both male and female disciples were captivated by her beautiful temperament and treated her with reverence. Ordinary men would be so nervous when they saw her that they could barely speak.
But the first time she met Long Chen, she noticed his uniqueness. Long Chen's eyes lit up slightly at first glance before quickly calming down. This was Bai Shishi's first encounter, so she became curious about him.
Although she had suspected that Long Chen was deliberately using this method to attract her attention, as time went on, she realized that Long Chen was a very strange person.
Although he was surrounded by beautiful women like Luo Bing, Luo Bing, and Mu Qingyun, he always kept his distance, creating enmity between Luo Bing and the Chu family. Many people thought Long Chen and Luo Bing had a romantic relationship.
But as it turned out, although Long Chen was surrounded by many beautiful women and heavily relied on him, he seemed to understand emotions and was always carefree.
Originally, Bai Shishi thought Long Chen was a reckless kid, but as Long Chen had just said, he had a group of passionate brothers and close confidantes, so he didn't seem like someone who didn't understand emotions.
In short, there were many mysterious things about Long Chen. Even Bai Shishi couldn't help but be very curious, and his way of speaking was even more peculiar and unpredictable—sometimes a single sentence could make people angry, and sometimes a single sentence would leave people both amused and exasperated. This guy was simply a strange person.
Seeing a blush appear on Bai Shishi's beautiful cheeks under Long Chen's gaze, a smile appeared in Luo Bing's eyes: Long Chen, that eccentric guy, even the top beauty couldn't handle it and was defeated.
After Long Chen finished speaking, he acted as if nothing had happened, lowering his head to look at his own hands, lost in thought.
"Do we need to prepare anything now?" After a while, Bai Shishi regained her composure and asked.
"No need, just wait like this. We need to buy some time and wait for Bai Xiaole to lead people to block the door." Long Chen shook his head.
"How do you stall for time? The formation and the confusing path wouldn't delay for long—at most two hours, and they would be able to get here. Bai Shishi frowned.
"If there's nothing else, just leave it to me." On Long Chen's palm, fine scales appeared, stars twinkling on them. Long Chen silently channeled the power of the divine fire, warming up before the battle.
Seeing Long Chen like this, Bai Shishi stopped disturbing him. Everyone sat cross-legged, adjusting to their best state and ready for the big battle at any moment.
Time passed bit by bit, and just as Bai Shishi had predicted, just after two hours, they heard footsteps.
The footsteps were deliberately made; the other party wanted them to know someone had arrived.
"Bai Shishi, you wretched woman, come out and face death." A voice echoed through the grand hall. As soon as it was spoken, the faces of the Celestial Maiden Alliance disciples changed instantly, murderous intent surging forth.
That voice was actually Chu Yang's. This guy, who usually treated Bai Shishi with utmost respect and was like a dog, was now shouting here, which made people especially angry.
Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi, seeing golden light flicker in her eyes. He knew that Chu Yang's words had struck Bai Shishi at a vital spot. If the murderous intent leaked out, everyone would be exposed.
"The Brahma Heaven God is furious, immortal blood stains the galaxy, those who come are destined, life and death in a single thought."
At that moment, the entire hall trembled. Long Chen spoke, but the terrifying voice of the Tongtian Stone Spirit echoed through the hall.
