Chapter 1001
Zhao Ziyan looked at Long Chen oddly . His words had sounded so logical to her, but that evil light in his eyes could not be concealed . She wasnât able to tell whether Long Chen was being serious or not .
âBrother Long, Iâm being serious, but youâŠâ Zhao Ziyan shook her head .
âIâm also being serious . Let me tell you, Iâve killed- Iâve seen many people . With just a glance, I can see through the disguise of someone like Wei Changhai . Heâs the kind of person who canât be saved . Even if his master was a saint, he couldnât be changed . So if you want to handle him, either kill him, or scare him witless . Donât give him any opportunity or hope, otherwise, well, just enjoy having him running after you all the time,â said Long Chen lazily .
He had seen this kind of situation far too many times . Zhao Ziyan loathed Wei Changhai, but she also didnât want to completely break things off by hurting his feelings . She hoped Wei Changhai would figure it out and back off on his own . But how could that be possible?
In any case, he had already laid out the facts in front of her, and he couldnât be bothered to say any more . Whether or not she wanted to listen was up to her . It didnât have one spirit stoneâs relation to him .
With his hands on the back of his head, he lay lazily on the rock . Looking up at the floating clouds in the sky, he suddenly felt himself to be much older than before .
If someone as beautiful and gentle as Zhao Ziyan had been placed in front of him a few years ago, heâd have definitely wanted to pursue her . But now he didnât dare to touch such matters .
Seeing Long Chen ignore her, Zhao Ziyan frowned slightly . But that expression on his face seemed extremely natural . In fact, he seemed to merge with heaven and earth without the slightest discord .
âIs this the legendary realm of being one with the Dao? But thatâs impossible, he couldnât have reached such a high realm at his age . â Zhao Ziyanâs heart shook, but she quickly brushed aside that idea . Long Chen fundamentally wasnât someone that could be on that level .
âBrother Long, have you always been this unconstrained?â she asked .
âHm, pretty much . No one knows when theyâll die, so why bother being overcautious? My brothers and I prefer the feeling of being free . â Long Chen picked a blade of grass from the ground and stuck it in his mouth, randomly chewing on it .
âBrother Long truly is unique . In all my years, Iâve never seen anyone else like you . â Zhao Ziyanâs mouth curled into a small smile . His appearance of not caring about anyone or anything, that free and unconstrained manner, was novel to her .
Long Chen shook his head . âDuring the registration, I saw that your bone-age is twenty-one years . Although youâre only one year younger than me, in my eyes, all of you are just children . â
âAre you mocking me for being immature?â Zhao Ziyan frowned .
âYes . â Long Chen nodded .
âYou⊠Since brother Long has nothing to say to me, Iâll say my goodbyes,â said Zhao Ziyan angrily . She immediately got up and walked away .
Long Chen didnât apologize or say anything . He just indifferently watched the battle involving over a thousand people now . It was definitely âlivelyâ .
âLong Chen, tell me . Just how am I immature?â
Zhao Ziyan had walked far away, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became . She was kind to others, and she was also beautiful . No one had ever evaluated her this way . She felt a bit unwilling and she returned .
Long Chen almost laughed . Looking at her, he asked, âDonât you feel like your current conduct is very immature?â
Zhao Ziyan blushed . She truly did feel like her current actions were a bit immature . She didnât know just how to retort . She couldnât leave, and she couldnât stay .
âBeing called immature isnât a bad thing . Whatâs wrong about being immature? People like me donât have the qualifications to be immature, so you should feel blessed,â said Long Chen .
âWhat are you talking about?â
Long Chen looked at Zhao Ziyan . Seeing her curious expression combined with her beauty, his heart jumped and he looked away .
Zhao Ziyan was truly beautiful, but she didnât give him that special feeling . He decided not to tease her anymore .
Seeing Long Chenâs expression suddenly change and his eyes look away, Zhao Ziyan quickly understood what had happened and smiled . âBrother Long, it seems you havenât answered me yet?â
âThereâs no need to answer . You can guess it . If I was immature, I would lose my life, so youâre much more blessed than me . When I call you immature, I almost feel envious,â sighed Long Chen .
That forlorn tone of his caused Zhao Ziyan to laugh . She found that talking to him was very interesting . He seemed like a magnanimous person who she didnât need to have any taboos around when talking to . Although sometimes his words were so direct that she was unwilling to accept them, it was still interesting .
âIt should be my turn to ask you some questions, right?â asked Long Chen suddenly .
âIf you have anything youâd like to ask, go ahead . â
âThen tell me, whatâs the power balance like in the Southern Sea? Are there Righteous and Corrupt paths? Do you have large fights, orâŠ?â asked Long Chen .
Long Chen was truly curious about this . During the registration, he had seen that the hundreds of thousands of disciples from the other regions were nothing more than unreliable brats . There were few real experts .
Just how had such people survived the battles between the Righteous and Corrupt paths? It was inconceivable .
As a result, Zhao Ziyanâs reply made him dumbfounded . In reality, the Southern Sea, Western Desert, and Northern Source had too many powerful sects for the Corrupt path to handle .
Taking the Southern Sea as an example, there were seven sects no weaker than the branch Xuantian Dao Sect there . Although they had some conflicts with the Corrupt path, there werenât many large scale battles .
The Corrupt path was heavily suppressed by the Righteous path, and they were only able to make some stealthy moves . As soon as the Righteous path sensed them, they would flee .
A large battle between the two sides rarely occurred . It might be decades before such a battle occurred, and their generation hadnât risen during that time . There hadnât been any battles for them to accumulate experience . All their battles were on the martial stage and not the battlefield .
When Long Chen asked about the Immemorial Path, Zhao Ziyan said that there had been a few battles inside . However, everyone had been focused on searching for treasures and opportunities, and no full-blown war had started .
Long Chen was dumbfounded . So the rest of the world was so peaceful . Then it was no wonder all these disciples were laughably immature .
âWhatâs with that look?â asked Zhao Ziyan upon seeing Long Chenâs bitter smile .
âItâs nothing . I just feel like life is bitter . Sister Ziyan, how much do you know about the Central Plains? Do you know about any peak powers?â asked Long Chen . Perhaps one of these peak powers might be related to his origins .
Zhao Ziyan shook her head . âIâm ashamed to say that I donât know much . All Iâve heard of is the seven danger zones, six great alliances, five divine halls, four gates, three sects, two palaces, and one valley . â
âThereâs this many? Is the Xuantian Dao Sect one of those three sects?â Long Chenâs eyes almost popped out of his head . How could there be this many powers?
âWell, this is all that Iâve heard of . Iâm not sure about the exact truth . The Central Plains is just too big,â sighed Zhao Ziyan .
According to Zhao Ziyan, that was nothing more than a phrase she had heard . Now that they had come to the Xuantian Dao Sect, they had confirmed its existence, but the others powers were nothing more than stories to her . At their current level, they werenât strong enough to learn such things .
In fact, just the Xuantian Dao Sect was a power that countless geniuses longed to join . The Central Plains was just too big .
Long Chen took a deep breath . He knew he still had a long, long way to go . What he needed to do was continue getting stronger . The peak of the martial path was even further than he had thought .
Originally, he had thought that after arriving at the Xuantian Dao Sect, he wouldnât be that far off from the secret of his origins . But Zhao Ziyanâs words were like a bucket of ice water falling over his head . He had been too naive .
âBrother Long, what is it?â asked Zhao Ziyan .
Long Chen rubbed his face and shook his head . He sighed, âItâs nothing . I just realized it will probably take a few years for me to dominate the Central Plains . â
Zhao Ziyan almost laughed . Anyone who could say they would dominate the Central Plains was definitely crazy . He hadnât even passed the trial to join the sect .
Long Chen laughed, âItâs best to have dreams . After all, what if you achieve it?â
âFine, I wonât laugh at a madman like you,â laughed Zhao Ziyan .
âIâve had plenty of people laughing at me . As long as they donât touch my reverse scale, they can laugh all they want . I have my own thoughts and targets . Each little bit of effort brings me one step closer to my goal . Iâll reach that height sooner or later,â said Long Chen confidently .
âI will be on my way . Do⊠do you want to come with me, orâŠ?â Zhao Ziyan didnât want to keep arguing over this problem with Long Chen . After waiting this long, Wei Changhai should be far ahead . She should start moving .
After talking to Long Chen this much, her worries had lessened a great deal . Although she hadnât thought of how exactly she would handle Wei Changhai, she didnât feel as vexed as before .
That was why she asked Long Chen if he wanted to come with her . She felt like he was an interesting person, and going together should be even more interesting .
âLong Chen, you Eastern Wasteland dog, how dare you seduce my woman?!â
Long Chen was just about to decline her invitation when a furious roar rang out . A figure charged over from the distance .
That person was Wei Changhai . He had been searching for Zhao Ziyan this entire time so they could talk, but Zhao Ziyan had been intentionally hiding from him .
Just as he was searching, he saw Zhao Ziyan smiling and talking with a man on a distant mountain top . His fury immediately soared .
Furthermore, when he saw that it was a pretty boy like Long Chen, his fury soared even higher .
âWei Changhai, what are you doing?!â shouted Zhao Ziyan upon seeing him charging over .
âScram! Iâll kill this bastard!â roared Wei Changhai . Water Qi erupted out of him, forming waves in the air . With a furious roar, he sent a palm at Long Chen .
âFuck off . â
Pow!
In front of Zhao Ziyanâs stunned eyes, a hand viciously struck Wei Changhaiâs face .
