"Buzz"—
Long Chen was transported to a massive ancient city, ruled by the demon beast clan. However, strong members of other races could also use it for a fee.
However, whoever rules a city must follow the rules they set. Many races need their own cities, because cities are not just strongholds but symbols of status and strength.
This city was enormous. Although it couldn't compare to Hantian City, it wasn't much smaller either. Long Chen stepped out of the teleportation array and saw hundreds of arrays lined up nearby, with a huge crowd—countless people lined up.
Most of these teleportation arrays were one-way. To exit from this array, Long Chen had to queue up at another array.
Just as Long Chen stepped out of the teleportation array, he curled his lips:
"Here we go again."
Because he sensed more than a dozen divine senses sweeping past him. Originally, these divine senses were scanning a large area, but when he appeared, the fluctuations of those divine senses instantly became agitated. Clearly, Long Chen was the target they were searching for.
"You're forcing me, huh? Come on, let me see how many people are getting tired of living." Long Chen sneered inwardly.
In the past, to avoid trouble, Long Chen might have disguised himself, but now it was different. After condensing the Eight-Star Battle form, Long Chen no longer shrank back or avoided it, as if the Eight-Star Battle Body itself carried the will to fight violence with violence.
Besides, I already claim to be invincible below the Human Emperor. If I keep hiding and shrinking back, Long Chen himself will look down on him.
In the past, Long Chen didn't want to cause trouble—not out of fear, but because he didn't want some people to die at his hands in a moment of impulse.
Now Long Chen didn't think that way anymore. Since you want to die, although I have no obligation to yield to you, I have the right to send you on your way.
"Huff huff huff...
At that moment, a dozen or so figures suddenly appeared in the void. As soon as they appeared, the powerful energy of the Heavenly Veins caused panic among the crowd.
Among these dozen or so people, two were Six-Vein Heavenly Saints, and the rest were three-veined Heavenly Saints. The others had never seen such a spectacle before and scattered in all directions in fright.
These dozen or so people surrounded Long Chen in the center. Long Chen looked at the group but said nothing, nor did he need to. As long as you make a move, I'll send you away.
"Are you Long Chen?" An elder of the Six Meridians Heavenly Saint shouted, his voice trembling from excessive excitement.
"Why ask so obviously? If you want to obtain the Human Emperor Divine Weapon, just come ahead. If you want to act, do it quickly—after all, everyone is quite busy. Long Chen said calmly.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen admitted his identity. The dozen or so people instantly revealed their weapons. At that moment, all the surrounding experts were stunned, staring at Long Chen in disbelief.
A young man who had just advanced to immortality, surrounded by more than a dozen Heavenly Saint experts, was even about to reveal his weapons, looking as if facing a formidable enemy. Everyone's hearts were shaken—who was this person?
Long Chen said nothing, just waiting for them to make a move. But just then, an aged voice rang out:
"Stop."
As soon as that aged voice sounded, Long Chen's heart tightened slightly. Although the owner of that voice deliberately concealed the aura fluctuations, But Long Chen could sense that his aura carried a trace of imperial power.
"Another half-step Human Emperor?"
Unexpectedly, such a powerful presence was hidden in this place.
However, even as a half-step Human Emperor, Long Chen was not afraid. He remained expressionless, quietly waiting for them to make a move.
"Long Chen from Lingxiao Academy, right? Go ahead! The old man's voice came again.
"Ancestor"
One of the Six Veins Heavenly Saint-level powerhouses, with a single horn on his head, said in disbelief, "He is ...."
"Shut up."
The aged voice snorted coldly, then changed his tone:
"Dean Long Chen, please do as you please."
"Lingxiao Academy?" Dean Long Chen? At
that moment, everyone around looked at Long Chen in shock. They had heard of Lingxiao Academy—it was the oldest academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. This young man in black was actually the dean of Lingxiao Academy?
Long Chen was taken aback; he didn't understand what the old man meant. However, he couldn't be bothered to guess. He simply walked slowly along the teleportation array, chose his destination, and then teleported away directly.
Watching Long Chen leave, the dozen or so elders vanished in an instant. They appeared atop a tall tower in the city, where an old man with bark-like skin sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
"Ancestor, that's Long Chen, worth a Human Emperor divine weapon. How could you let him go?" The Six Veins Heavenly Saint-level expert spoke anxiously, clearly unable to understand the old man's actions.
"Fool, do you know that Long Chen, a mere immortal who has just advanced to immortality, is worth a Human Emperor divine weapon?" The old man said coldly.
"I don't know, but ...," the old man shook his head.
"But my foot! A Human Emperor divine weapon—how precious is that? Is Brahma Pill Valley being used for charity? Free gifts?
There must be some unknown reason behind this. You are hopelessly foolish, acting rashly without understanding the reason. You might not even know how you will die later. The old man snorted coldly and continued,
"I've sensed it. There's an aura I fear about this person, and there's an extremely dangerous feeling about him...
"How is that possible?" He's just ..."
"Shut up! If you interrupt me again, I'll break your legs."
The half-step Human Emperor elder shouted angrily, "The only reason I've survived until today is because of my keen sense of danger. Are you questioning me?" "
I wouldn't dare," the man hurriedly said.
"Putting aside the question, can we kill Long Chen? Even if we do, we can get the Human Emperor Divine Weapon. If Brahma Heaven Pill Valley refuses, do you dare to go and force it? "
This ..."
"Even if you get the Human Emperor Divine Weapon, so what? If the dean of Lingxiao Academy is killed, and that person who makes the entire Brahma Pill Valley feared shows up, who will stand in the way? When he comes upon us, do you think the Brahma Pill Valley will help us? The half-step Human Emperor elder shouted angrily.
"Are you talking about the Hall Master from Lingxiao Academy?" The man's heart pounded wildly.
"Who else but him? Although he is a Six-Vein Heavenly Saint, every strand of his Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi can trigger celestial phenomena. Not to mention me, a half-step Human Emperor, even if I advanced to Human Emperor, I wouldn't dare challenge him.
Besides, the first branch of Lingxiao Academy has been fully awakened, with countless strong cultivators and experts everywhere. Even Brahma Pill Valley is wary of them. You don't even know this, always thinking about those benefits.
For the sake of a Human Emperor divine weapon, whether you can get it is uncertain, putting yourself in danger. Aren't you all foolish? The half-step Human Emperor elder said coldly, and everyone immediately lowered their heads in silence.
"Passing the news of Long Chen's appearance to Dan Valley—this is all we can do. Before the situation is clear, don't rashly take sides."
The old man gave the order, and the crowd immediately dispersed. When he was left alone, he let out a long sigh of relief and looked down at a jade token in his hand.
The black mist on the jade token was slowly dissipating, gradually regaining its lustrous, jade-like appearance, with the character "Life" written in the center.
He looked at the jade token, muttering with lingering fear, "Fortunately, I have this ancient treasure, which can foresee fortune and misfortune. Otherwise, everyone would have died today. This Long Chen is terrifying!" "
