"There are two reasons why he can't exert his full power in front of you. One is that you are his childhood nightmare, and the ghostly creatures you nurture make him feel fear deep in his soul, so he lacks confidence.
Another reason is that since you are his father, he can't go all out to avoid hurting you, or even killing you. Long Chen said seriously,
"If Xiao Le truly hates you, he can seal his memories and merge with Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu doesn't recognize you, and with the ferocity of the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, he will definitely unleash the strongest lethal technique."
In fact, foxes are suspicious. Although Xiao Jiu is close to us, because of his nature, his true trump card is unknown to us—not even Xiao Le might know.
So, Xiao Le and Xiao Jiu have always been the secret weapons of our Dragon Blood Legion. Their strength has always been a mystery. Hearing
Long Chen say this, Bai Zhantang suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter full of satisfaction and pride. Although he didn't believe Bai Xiaole could defeat him, Bai Xiaole never had the ultimate fusion with Xiao Jiu, which showed that he had a father in his heart. That was what excited him the most.
By this calculation, the tasks assigned to him by the two madams were fulfilled, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Although I've never really liked you, kid, I've noticed there's something about you that makes people appreciate you."
Bai Zhantang praised Long Chen for the first time, which made Long Chen a bit unaccustomed.
"Now that the family matters are settled, let's have a proper business talk. Can you tell me about the specific situation on the Emperor Heaven's side?" Long Chen said seriously.
Previously, with Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole present, Bai Zhantang's mind was in chaos and he had no mood to talk further. Long Chen noticed this and comforted Bai Shishi before coming to find him.
Bai Zhantang's face grew serious as he said, "Actually, the situation over there isn't optimistic. Our foundation is not only severely corroded, but also occupied by countless extraterrestrial monsters."
Elsewhere, the extraterrestrial monsters are scattered everywhere, but there is a powerful legion. They are not a single race, but formed by dozens of groups. Our people can only observe from the edges, unable to go deep inside. "
If you can't go deep inside, how do you know the foundation is severely corroded?" Long Chen asked.
"Because we brought the academy's flame of fortune, the sensing inside is extremely weak. According to the dean, those monsters are very likely using some kind of power to continuously corrode our foundation." Bai Zhantang said.
"Wasn't it said that monsters have extremely low intelligence? They probably don't understand these things! Long Chen said.
"That's how it should be. That's why the director sensed something was off and didn't let us attack directly, fearing it might be a trap." Bai Zhantang said.
"Trap?"
Long Chen gasped. If this was a trap, how long had it been set up?
"The Dean said the most feared thing is that when we launch our attack, we might be attacked by other forces. If we get attacked from both front and rear, it could lead to total annihilation." Bai Zhantang said clenching his fist.
"The enemies within the Emperor's Heaven have discovered us too?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Although Emperor Heaven is vast, there are only so many places that can be controlled entirely by humans. They know the situation around them inside out; no disturbance escapes their notice.
Because of this, we are in the open while they are in the shadows, very passive. Therefore, we can only hold our position and wait until everyone has entered the Emperor's Heaven before talking. The dean said..." Bai Zhantang paused abruptly here, glanced at Long Chen, and said somewhat defiantly,
"He said he wants to hear your opinion."
"My opinion?"
Long Chen was slightly taken aback, then said, "I guess things are quite complicated. If you pull a single hair, it can affect everything. The opportunity the dean has been waiting for probably hasn't happened yet." Bai
Zhantang looked at Long Chen in surprise and said, "You really are clever. The dean said something similar, saying the situation is unclear and acting rashly would be too risky. It's better to wait and see how things unfold and wait for the right moment." "
Our academy is temporarily stationed in Emperor Heaven. Have we encountered any danger?" Long Chen asked.
"I haven't encountered any danger, but quite a few factions have already come to visit. However, they were all personally received by the dean. Whatever was discussed, the dean said nothing."
However, seeing some people looking so arrogant, it's clear that these guys are almost certainly here to test the bottom.
There was a guy who deliberately stirred up trouble. I punched him and blew his nose open. The group lost their temper on the spot, and I was about to kill them, but Xiao Le's mother stopped me.
Since then, the dean forbade me from coming out to meet anyone. Then cracks appeared in the Chaotic Star Sea, and the Star Sea Sky Road appeared. Seeing that I was useless over there, they let me come back. Bai Zhantang said with a somewhat grim expression.
Bai Zhantang has a fiery temper, is not good at hiding his feelings, and even less at lying, so he blurted everything out in one breath. Even if it was an unfortunate or disgraceful matter, he never kept it to himself.
"By the way, I just remembered—do you have some connection to the Tianhuang Dragon family?" Bai Zhantang suddenly said.
Long Chen said, "It should be somewhat related." "
The Tianhuang Dragon family has produced a big figure—named Long Zhantian." Bai Zhantang said.
Upon hearing this news, Long Chen immediately stood up.
"My dad's name is Long Zhantian." Long Chen said excitedly.
Back then, Long Zhantian stayed at Lingxiao Academy, but he kept a very low profile. Apart from Long Chen and a few others, he never interacted with anyone else before drifting away. Bai Zhantang had never interacted with Long Zhantian, nor did he know the name of Long Chen's father.
This time it was Bai Zhantang's turn to be shocked: "Is that person your father?" Long
Chen said, "Very likely, because my father has indeed already reached Emperor Heaven. When he left, he ...."
"Smack."
Bai Zhantang slapped his thigh: "I remember now, when your father left, the time when the Long family appeared exactly coincided with him." "
I'm really sorry, my father was ... back then," Long Chen said a bit embarrassed. He hadn't let Long Zhantian meet anyone else, partly because his father was still recovering and shouldn't be disturbed.
Moreover, his father had been imprisoned for so many years and suffered endless humiliation. If it were him, Long Chen would have gone mad long ago. He didn't want his father to be looked at with strange eyes, as that would cause him further harm.
According to etiquette, Long Zhantian and Bai Zhantang are future in-laws, and Long Zhantian's departure without saying goodbye was considered very rude.
"I've heard about your father's situation too. He's a true hero. Don't bring up those useless red tape." Bai Zhantang waved his hand, stroked his chin, and said,
"So, according to you, that person is your father?"
Long Chen nodded and briefly explained that the Long family had sent people from Tianhuang. Upon hearing that Long Chen's father was indeed at the Long family, Bai Zhantang's eyes widened and he suddenly said, "
Now I think I understand."
