The name Long Sanye erupted like a tsunami, starting from Changqing Prefecture, frantically infiltrating every corner of Ziyan Heaven.
Originally, the cultivation world was very well-informed; even a small matter would have countless people secretly gathering information, let alone such a major event.
However, the rumors say it doesn't just have long legs; it also has wings. As word of mouth spreads, people always exaggerate and exaggerate its descriptions in their own way.
One person adds a word, and after countless rounds of sharing, the news has appeared in countless versions, turning into countless stories.
However, two things remained unchanged as a foundation: a young man known as Long Sanye piloted a ghost ship onto the coast of Changqing Prefecture, destroying the port that Longteng Trading Company had operated for countless years.
Second, he destroyed the headquarters of the Changqing Prefecture Chamber of Commerce. Even though he had just entered the Divine Lord realm, he had consecutively killed more than forty Realm Kings of Longteng Trading Company, destroyed the bodies of over a hundred Realm Kings, and forced the Three Heavens Realm Kings to flee in panic.
This is the basis of the rumors; most have not changed much, but the biggest change is the origin and motives of this Long Sanye.
Master Long San was still young. Although he hadn't been tested before, his soul fluctuations were extremely intense. Judging by his actual age, he definitely wasn't over thirty.
Advancing to the Divine Lord Realm before the age of thirty is nothing unusual in Ziyan Heaven, but the ability to rival a triple heavenly realm king is truly terrifying.
People speculated about Long Sanye's origins, so everyone guessed wildly. To make their guesses more plausible, many had their own unique theories.
Thus, there have been countless versions of Long Sanye's origins, even some mythological figures have been brought up. Some say Long Chen is the disciple of a certain great power, because that great figure has always worn black clothes throughout his life.
Others say Long Sanye inherited the legacy of someone from the mythological era, because his divine ring and vision closely resemble that person.
Some also say that Long Sanye might come from the Dark World, otherwise how could he have piloted a ghost ship? In short, there are countless rumors.
As a result, rumors spread like wildfire. As for Long Chen's motive for his feud with Longteng Trading Company, many people had heard that he was here for revenge.
Talking about seeking justice for millions of wronged souls has prompted deep reflection. Some say Master Long San is just looking for a way to rob someone, while others say, since he dared to openly rob the treasury of Longteng Trading Company, does he need an excuse? There must be some hidden truth behind this.
In short, Long Sanye's reputation was spreading rapidly, and Longteng Trading Company had issued a wanted notice for him. Anyone who provided a tip would receive a generous reward from Longteng Trading Company.
So, countless people wanted to find Long Chen. Some did it for money, while more wanted to see what this mysterious Third Master Long looked like.
Back at the port, because of the ghost ship, no one dared to use the Recording Jade to record the scenes, fearing it would get involved in karma.
In Changqing Prefecture, the strong never intended to activate the Recording Jade, and the Shadow Jade activated by the weak was distorted without the support of a powerful formation, making the recorded images distorted—even the human figures were blurry, let alone see their faces clearly.
As a result, more and more people became curious about this Long San Ye. For a while, every street, alley, tavern, and teahouse was the talk of him.
...
"Damn, this is driving me crazy."
"Boom!"
Long Chen smashed a huge boulder with a single punch. His face turned ashen, almost killing that Triple Heaven Realm King. Long Chen was filled with hatred, with nowhere to vent.
But with Long Chen's current strength, fighting a triple Heavenly Realm King is still quite a stretch.
If it weren't for the help of Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, and if the Minghong Blade weren't strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to defeat this old guy at all.
A Realm King of the Third Heaven is already this terrifying, so a Realm King of the Fourth Heaven is essentially entering the mid-stage of Realm King, and his strength will undergo a dramatic transformation. If Long Chen sees this, he'll probably have no choice but to flee.
Not to mention beings like Empuda and Liao Bencang, who have been famous for countless years and have reached the peak of Realm King cultivation.
Long Chen still knew too little about the Realm King realm. Today, he had witnessed just how vast the gap between each realm of a Realm King realm was.
Long Chen fled to a barren mountain, sat down to rest for a while, and his anger gradually subsided.
Long Chen suddenly gave a bitter smile. He seemed a bit too dissatisfied. Although he hadn't killed that black-faced guy, he had already killed so many people, destroyed their port and a headquarters. If anyone was angry, it should be them. Why was he angry? Are you out of your mind?
Long Chen let out a long sigh of relief, lazily lay on a rock, gazing at the white clouds in the blue sky, and his mood gradually calmed down.
After a slaughter, it was as if scorching lava gradually cooled, and his wisdom slowly returned.
Long Chen carefully calculated that beneath the demon's eye, there must be a terrifying presence hiding there. Because of the Ghost Emperor's mark, it spared him.
That terrifying existence must be connected to the Ghost Emperor, and since Longteng Trading Company offered countless travelers as sacrifices to that terrifying being, there must be a connection between them. There might be a shocking secret hidden here.
But this secret was uncovered by him. To keep it, even if Longteng Trading Company didn't have the Ice Soul Divine Jade, they would never let him off.
"It's already crossed the sky, and bad luck has come. When will these days of misfortune ever end?" Long Chen sighed. Although he had grown used to the days of unlucky luck, this endless cycle of bad luck truly annoyed him.
He had come to Ziyan Heaven intending to secretly sneak into the sacred land of the Nine Nether Hall and destroy that strange mirror. But now, it wouldn't be long before Master Long's name spread throughout Ziyan Heaven. What was the point of secretly stealing it?
Logically, Long Chen should prioritize the matter, proceed methodically and strategically—first destroy the mirror, then avenge the Bai Fang siblings. This is the most appropriate approach, since this concerns the lives of countless Nine Star heirs.
But at that time, Long Chen was focused solely on revenge, his mind completely empty. By then, his mind had already entered a state of hibernation.
But Long Chen didn't regret it. He knew his own personality—he couldn't plan and decide. Even if he had a hundred more chances, he would still make the same choice. If he didn't vent his anger, he felt like he would be suffocated.
Now that he had calmed down, Long Chen sorted out his thoughts and then rested. His injuries were fine, but his divine energy and divine fire power had been heavily depleted, so he needed time to recover.
While recovering, Long Chen took out the Ice Soul Divine Jade and looked at the beautiful snowflake sealed inside the jade.
"Ice Soul Divine Flame, ranked eighth on the Heavenly Fire List, let me see your true power!"
Long Chen took out a drop of essence blood and dropped it onto the divine jade, using his soul power to construct eighty-one runes on it.
"Buzz!"
The snowflakes inside the divine jade trembled slightly, then a bone-chilling cold erupted. The mountain where Long Chen stood was instantly covered in ice.
