After Long Chen left the city controlled by the beast clan, he never encountered any more monitors. Clearly, leaving that city meant he was out of the control of the Brahma Pill Valley.
After another two days of teleportation, Long Chen finally arrived at the city closest to Lingxiao Academy, Luoxia City, the prefectural city of Luoxia Prefecture.
Luoxia City is an ancient city, but because it is located on the frontier, it is large. However, it appears very desolate and has a small population; most are adventurers and mercenaries struggling to survive here.
When Long Chen appeared in Luoxia City, he thought he had teleported incorrectly. Now, Luoxia City had become extremely prosperous, with many brand-new buildings inside. Moreover, the city was bustling with people, and the teleportation array was bustling with people coming and going.
"Hey, don't block the way if you're not leaving." As Long Chen stood dazed at the entrance of the teleportation array, someone behind him spoke impatiently.
"Oh, sorry!"
Long Chen hurriedly apologized and stepped aside. He confirmed again—it was indeed correct. This was Luoxia City, so how did it suddenly become so prosperous?
Long Chen looked to the side. Previously, there was only one teleportation array here, and because few people used it, it was a two-way array. Now, there were actually eight arrays here, and all were one-way.
"A good dog doesn't block the way, stay away!"
Suddenly, an impatient shout came from behind Long Chen.
Long Chen immediately flew into a rage. I've already given up such a large space—forget about people leaving—even elephants walking away would be enough. This is clearly just making trouble for no reason.
Long Chen turned his head and, upon seeing the speaker clearly, was stunned. The man was dressed in white, wearing the attire of a disciple of Lingxiao Academy.
There were fifteen or sixteen of them, all immortal experts, but judging by their aura, they had only recently advanced and hadn't yet reached the first level.
The leader was a short, chubby man with a tough face. He glanced sideways at Long Chen, and seeing Long Chen looking at him, he perked up: "
Kid, what's with that look? Are you looking for trouble?"
Long Chen's anger flared up instantly. Looking at his round, big face, Long Chen wanted to slap him.
Just as Long Chen was about to teach this guy a lesson, an old man suddenly emerged from a teleportation array, pulled him aside, and gave those people a smile.
The disciples from Lingxiao Academy snorted coldly and said,
"Kid, consider yourself lucky this time. The master is in a good mood, otherwise at the very least, he would have crippled your eyes."
After speaking, the disciples of Lingxiao Academy walked past Long Chen with arrogance, while the other disciples didn't even spare him a glance. Their arrogant demeanor made Long Chen grit his teeth in hatred.
No matter what, I'm still the dean of Lingxiao Academy. These little brats actually want to gouge out his eyes—seriously, there's no distinction between big and small.
After the disciples from Lingxiao Academy left, the old man earnestly advised, "Young man, I see you have delicate features and a kind person. I can't bear to see you lose your life at the hands of a strong man."
You must be an outsider, not even the disciples of Lingxiao Academy know about you. You'd better be more careful in the future. After all, next time, there might not be anyone who can save you." "
Senior, are these guys really from Lingxiao Academy?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
You have to understand, the people of Lingxiao Academy definitely know him, especially the younger generation of disciples. Even if they don't know Bai Letian, they certainly know Long Chen.
"Hey, I heard you were an outsider. Of course they're from Lingxiao Academy. Let me tell you, Lingxiao Academy has tens of millions of disciples, with countless experts and endless prodigies. If you run into them, you'd better keep your distance, or you might not even know how you died." The old man said.
"Wait, what did you say? Tens of millions of disciples? Long Chen was a bit confused by what he heard.
Back when they came from the main academy, the academy disciples, the War God Hall disciples, the Xinghe Sect disciples, and those willing to stay temporarily at Lingxiao Academy totaled only a few million. Where did these tens of millions come from?
"Don't doubt it—Lingxiao Academy is no longer the same as before. Their numbers are terrifyingly large now, their strength is terrifying. Just don't provoke them. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'm leaving first. Remember, don't mess with them!" The old man gave a few more reminders before leaving.
The old man was also well-intentioned. Seeing Long Chen alone and having just advanced to Immortality, he feared Long Chen might suffer losses. Since he himself was a first-generation Heavenly Saint, his strength was undeniable, and he greeted the disciples with a smile. So, the academy disciples did not make things difficult for Long Chen.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming? Long Chen was a bit confused; her words left him completely confused.
"If you're heading to Lingxiao Academy, hurry up. This round of teleportation is about to start. If you want to apprentice or try your luck, hurry up." At that moment, someone shouted loudly from a nearby teleportation array.
"Is there a teleportation array here that leads directly to Lingxiao Academy?" Long Chen was stunned.
Previously, it was still a long journey to reach Lingxiao Academy from here. Now, with the teleportation array activated, he couldn't imagine what had happened during his absence.
Long Chen hurried over, paid the money, and entered the teleportation array. However, the teleportation array didn't activate immediately because there were still many empty seats inside. Hearing the person shouting again, it seemed the teleportation was only starting when the space was full.
Long Chen glanced over and saw hundreds of people squeezed together inside the teleportation array. Among them were men and women, most very young, with cultivation below the Divine Sovereign realm.
Long Chen saw nervousness and excitement in their eyes. Clearly, they were heading to Lingxiao Academy for the assessment to try their luck.
"Big brother, you're so strong! You're an immortal powerhouse, aren't you?" Long Chen entered the teleportation array. A little girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen looked at him timidly and said.
As soon as the girl spoke, the man beside her tugged at her. Clearly, the man was afraid the girl would anger Long Chen. After all, many cultivators have strange tempers; at the slightest disagreement, they could get into conflict, blood splattered five paces away, and talking nonsense could easily cost them their lives.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, just advanced to Immortality." Seeing
Long Chen smile, the little girl immediately relaxed and asked, "Big brother, are you also here for the assessment?" Long
Chen smiled and said, "You could say that!" "
Assessment?" Does the director still need to be tested?
"Buzz!"
Just as everyone was talking, it seemed the numbers had gathered enough. The teleportation array trembled, and Long Chen and the others appeared on a massive platform.
When Long Chen saw the towering gatehouse in the distance, with the four characters 'Lingxiao Academy' written on it, his heart trembled. This gatehouse was truly impressive, even more impressive than the main academy's gatehouse.
"Don't just stand there, hand over the money, hurry up, hurry up!"
At that moment, a piercing sound rang out.
