Qin Feng removed the knife from the old man's neck, and only then did the surrounding Divine Lord-level experts calm their expressions as they slowly put away the weapons pointing at Long Chen and the others.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. He didn't take these powerful figures seriously at all, but if he didn't intervene to intimidate them, communication would become very difficult.
Qin Feng made his move to intimidate them. Sometimes, he had to show his strength to communicate properly.
Sure enough, the old man, in his shock and anger, also realized that these young men before him were not to be trifled with. Although his expression was grim, his tone improved considerably:
"May I ask if you all have come to Jiangzhou for any guidance?"
"Jiangzhou?" Isn't this Yuhua Prefecture? Qin Feng was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Bai Xiaole.
Bai Xiaole was also taken aback: "The direction is right. Could it be because of the ghost ship..."
"Ahem..." Long Chen coughed, interrupting Bai Xiaole.
Yet Bai Xiaole still mentioned the name of the ghost ship. When they heard the words 'ghost ship,' the eyes of the powerful warriors present all showed terror and they all retreated, as if they had seen a plague.
Even the old man's face changed drastically. The ghost ship was an ill omen, and some even said it was a demon's curse. Anyone who saw it would be tainted by misfortune, and anyone who saw the ghost ship would also have bad luck.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. In this world, there are no ghost ships. Senior, we want to go to Yuhua Prefecture. Please ask which direction we should go." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Are you Long Chen, the double champion of the Tianlan Domain Jiuzhou Tournament?" Suddenly, an elder recognized Long Chen and exclaimed in surprise.
"I wouldn't dare. I am the one." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
"Did you really run into a ghost ship?" The old man asked again.
"No, it's not true. When crossing the Sea of Demons, I told them some scary stories to ease the loneliness of the journey.
I just shared the legend of the ghost ship. This guy probably got so scared he peed himself while listening to the story and got the direction wrong. Long Chen shrugged and said.
The matter of the ghost ship is too bizarre; it's best not to spread it carelessly. Long Chen himself isn't afraid, but he's afraid of attracting something bad for Bai Xiaole and the others.
Hearing Long Chen say this, those people immediately felt much more at ease. When they learned that Long Chen was the champion of the Tianlan Domain Nine Provinces Conference, they all let down their guard.
They told Long Chen that they had gone off course and were far from Yuhua Prefecture. However, after learning Long Chen's identity, they became enthusiastic and provided them with a teleportation array, sending them a segment to get closer to Yuhua Prefecture.
After leaving the teleportation array, everyone boarded the flying boat again, heading to Yuhua Prefecture. On the way, Long Chen warned everyone not to tell anyone about the ghost ship, as it was very sinister and best cautious.
Soon, the flying boat entered the territory of Yuhua Prefecture. Qi Yu became somewhat nervous. After all, Yuhua Palace was the place where he was nurtured. He hated Jiang Baihe, but he did not hate Yuhua Palace. Now that he had entered Yuhua Prefecture, he was somewhat confused.
"Boss, ahead is the territory of Yuhua Palace." Watching the surroundings become familiar, Qi Yu whispered.
"Alright, we'll head down right away."
Long Chen told Bai Shishi to put away the flying boat, and everyone headed straight toward Yuhua Palace. Sure enough, not long after they flew, they were discovered by a powerful figure.
"Qi Yu, you traitor who slaughtered your fellow disciples, and you still have the nerve to come back. The Palace Master has already ordered: if you see Qi Yu, kill him on the spot. Everyone, attack me."
Dozens of patrolling disciples ahead immediately charged over upon spotting Qi Yu, led by a mid-stage Four Extremes Realm expert.
Seeing that powerful figure, Qi Yu's eyes instantly reddened. He was one of those who had attacked him back then, and Qi Yu had two injuries left by him, nearly killed by his hand.
"Lu Ziya, you scoundrel! You clearly killed all those disciples, yet you still dare to accuse me." Qi Yu roared in anger, slashing his sword toward Lu Ziya.
That Lu Ziya joined the sect more than a year before Qi Yu; he was his senior brother. Qi Yu had just advanced to the first level of the fourth level, so his combat power was even a notch below him.
With a loud explosion, the two clashed weapons. Lu Ziya groaned and was sent flying backward, nearly dropping his weapon.
Lu Ziya was shocked. It had only been a few days since they parted, and Qi Yu had become so formidable. What he didn't know was that after the tempering of the Blade Sharpening Ladder, Qi Yu had undergone tremendous changes, his sharpness fully displayed and his sharpness fully displayed.
The disciples who had followed Lu Ziya all brandished their weapons and charged forward, but just as they rushed forward, they suddenly shuddered all over and were shocked to find that space had frozen, leaving them unable to move.
"Adults fight, kids shouldn't interfere." Bai Xiaole's hand seal changed, and the powerful figures spat blood and were sent flying, each collapsing to the ground, their breath weak.
"Impressive! To use spatial power to this extent, you're a first-rate expert." Seeing this, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. Once Bai Xiaole gets serious, he's definitely not worse than any prodigy.
With great talent and intelligence, Bai Xiaole has grown so remarkably in such a short time—it's truly impressive.
Receiving Long Chen's praise, Bai Xiaole was instantly overjoyed, while Bai Shishi pursed her lips and chuckled. Under Long Chen's command, Bai Xiaole had indeed undergone an astonishing transformation.
Bai Zhantang had put in so much effort but still hadn't trained him, but Long Chen did it effortlessly. It really is like braising water to make tofu—one thing subdues another.
"Boom boom boom... Qi
Yu slashed seven swords in a row, but Lu Ziya finally couldn't withstand it and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
Qi Yu stabbed his sword into Lu Ziya's chest, gritting his teeth and sneering, "You bastard, have you ever thought this would happen?" Lu
Ziya was pierced through the chest by a sword. Facing the furious Qi Yu, his eyes were filled with terror:
"Junior Brother Qi, please don't kill me. I didn't mean to be your enemy; I was completely obeying Senior Brother Baihe. I am beyond my control. Please, don't kill me. It was Senior Brother Baihe who ordered us to do this..."
Lu Ziya had already been confident of victory, but in the blink of an eye, he was begging bitterly—a gap so big that it was truly despiseful.
"Qi Yu, spare his life. He'll be useful later." Long Chen glanced at Lu Ziya, pondered for a moment, and said to Qi Yu.
"Bang!"
Qi Yu punched Lu Ziya's face, causing half of his face to collapse and knocking him unconscious.
At that moment, the sound of whistling was unnoticed as countless powerful figures rushed in from all directions. These people spotted Qi Yu and secretly sent out signals, attracting numerous powerful figures.
It was obvious that Jiang Baihe had already set up a trap in the world. As long as Qi Yu dared to return, he wouldn't even have a chance to enter the palace gates before being executed.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "Long Chen, Director of the Seventh Branch of Lingxiao Academy, has come to pay respects at the mountain!" Long
Chen's voice was deep and deep, like a god's roar, shaking the colors of heaven and earth, with endless echoes echoing through heaven and earth.
"Come to Worship the Mountain"
"Come to pay respects at the mountain"
"Come to pay respects to the mountain"
"..."
The sound echoed far and wide, as if the whole world was echoing. Within that voice, It was filled with an arrogant dominance that looked down on the heavens, making one's heart tremble.
As Long Chen's voice fell, an aged voice echoed from afar: "Honored guest has come from afar, bringing glory to Yuhua's humble abode. Please come to the palace for a chat." "
Let's go!"
Long Chen waved his hand and led everyone forward. Qin Feng and the others were stunned: When did the boss become the dean?
