Chapter 1949: 1949
âWhat is it?â
Long Chen was startled . He suddenly had a bad feeling . With Zheng Wenlongâs calm demeanor, and adding on this hesitation, it probably wasnât anything good .
âDuring the time that you vanished, the Xuan Beasts joined with Heavenly Fate Island to calculate the whereabouts of the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow race . I heard that the Xuan Beasts managed to take over two of their secret strongholds,â said Zheng Wenlong carefully .
Upon hearing this, Long Chenâs expression immediately turned cold . Killing intent appeared in his eyes . What was this? Unable to capture him, they had turned their blades on others?
However, the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow race was viewed as traitors by the Xuan Beasts . The two sides had a deep enmity against each other that stretched back a long time ago . The Xuan Beastsâ actions could be justified by that, but Zheng Wenlong felt differently .
âIâm afraid that the Dragon Slaughter Convention from the Grand Han will reoccur . For others, the same trap wonât work twice . But for you, Long Chen, no matter how many times they do this, it will still be effective . Your weakness is clear to others . â
Long Chenâs weakness was that even if he knew he was sending himself to his death, he would still go if his companions were captured .
If Pill Valley was involved, they wouldnât give him any chance to escape . So Zheng Wenlong was warning Long Chen, despite knowing that he couldnât change what Long Chen would do . As friends, some things still had to be said .
âHowever, you donât need to worry . Based on what I know, the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow race has hundreds of secret strongholds throughout the Martial Heaven Continent . As for their main headquarters, even Heavenly Fate Island is unable to find it . Most likely, it is protected by their ancestral spirits . What Iâm afraid of is this matter being learned by the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow thatâs with you . She might go to help, disregarding everything else, and then youâd go save her . That would once more be falling for their trap,â warned Zheng Wenlong .
Long Chen nodded . âI wonât tell Cloud about this for now . Fuck, it really is one scheme after another . Pill Valley is truly insidious . â
âYu Xiaoyun is a wily old fox . Many people have been tricked by him . He has been arranging things for many years, and itâs unknown how many chess pieces he has secretly set up . He is ruthless and ambitious, as well as frighteningly patient,â said Zheng Wenlong .
For the higher-ups to tell him to handle this on his own, it was clear they wanted to use Long Chenâs matter to temper him . But in the face of Yu Xiaoyun, Zheng Wenlong knew he was lacking many things .
âIt shouldnât just be this, right?â Long Chen looked at Zheng Wenlong .
Zheng Wenlong nodded . âThe Xuantian Dao Sect and the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect are under tight observation . Each of their movements is under the control of Pill Valley . As for that old man of yours, he almost went berserk, wanting to kill all those people . Alliance head Qu had to personally hold him back . â
âThe old man has never lowered his head to anyone . Ugh, I ended up implicating him,â sighed Long Chen . The stubborn old man had actually held back just because of him . âAlright, I understand . Get to the real issue . â
Zheng Wenlong was pacing around the room . It was clear he was still struggling .
âTell me . Youâre not a businessman, youâre my brother,â said Long Chen .
Zheng Wenlong bitterly smiled . âWhether itâs from a business standpoint or the standpoint of your brother, I shouldnât say . But I know that if I donât, youâll hate me for the rest of your life . What I have to tell you is that Leng Yueyan is currently in trouble . She will soon be executed . â
âWhat?!â Long Chen jumped up, his killing intent once more soaring .
âI knew that you wouldnât be able to remain calm . To help you in the Yin Yang World, she heavily injured Xie Luo . As a result, that infuriated Xie Wentian, and he captured her, not giving her any chance to quibble . Sheâs imprisoned currently . Although Leng Yueyan is a genius whose talent and combat strength is unrivaled in the Corrupt path, and even though she is somehow capable of controlling death energy, she has no backing . Even if sheâs more outstanding than Xie Luo, itâs useless . Before this, she was able to run rampant without anyone touching her because Xie Wentian wanted to raise her as Xie Luoâs Dao-companion . However, Leng Yueyan actually went against his orders and attacked Xie Luo, causing his entire plan to crumble . This time, she is going to be sacrificed to the Corrupt God at the Heavenly Evil Cave . Furthermore, her power might be stripped away and bestowed to Xie Luo . Itâs unknown if Leng Yueyan is simply one of Xie Wentianâs hidden pieces that he was grooming precisely for this moment,â said Zheng Wenlong .
The leaders of the major powers on the continent were all wily . Sometimes, their moves couldnât be understood by others, and that was what made them exceptionally frightening . They didnât just have immense martial power but also the intelligence to back it up .
âSo even the name of the Heavenly Evil Cave has been leaked? It should be intentional then,â said Long Chen, his lips curling into a disdainful smile .
âYes, this matter is no secret . Many people on the Martial Heaven Continent know of it . If they could kill Leng Yueyan and bait you to go at the same time, it would be a spectacular victory for them . If you went, you would be falling for a trap, while if you didnât, you would be given an infamous name as someone who didnât go help a woman who only fell into her predicament because she saved your life . Considering Pill Valleyâs skills at creating rumors, youâll lose many supporters . So when these wily old foxes make a move, no matter what you do, they will end up winning . Despite knowing this is a trap, you will still go, right?â Zheng Wenlong looked at Long Chen .
Long Chen bitterly smiled . âIf I didnât go, I wouldnât be Long Chen . â
âThatâs why I really didnât know whether or not to tell you this news . Telling you might kill you, while not telling you would pain you for the rest of your life . â Zheng Wenlong had a complicated expression, not knowing if telling Long Chen had been the right choice .
âTelling me was the right thing to do . You understand me . If you didnât tell me, you would only be a businessman and not my brother . â Long Chen patted Zheng Wenlongâs shoulder .
If he wanted to get more profit, Zheng Wenlong could act like he didnât know so that Long Chen would be safe . If Long Chen died, his businesses would tumble . However, Zheng Wenlong had still told him .
âWhat do you plan to do?â
âWhat else can I plan to do?â Long Chen shrugged . âMy plans havenât changed . Thereâs no way to go faster, and the other side isnât giving me any time . Leng Yueyan saved me twice, so I wonât just watch as she dies . Iâm definitely going to go to the Heavenly Evil Cave . â
âThen the chances of you surviving are essentially zero . You might never returnâŠâ
âThen Iâll never return . But your businesses will continue . If I die, the Dragonblood Legion will still exist . They are my brothers, and theyâll avenge me . As long as the Dragonblood Legion is present, I can die without regrets . â
Long Chen smiled very calmly . Watching as he left, Zheng Wenlong didnât know what he was feeling . He wanted to help Long Chen, but he didnât know how to .
Advise him? Useless . If he listened, then he wouldnât be Long Chen . He wouldnât be the powerful, domineering, and unrivaled hero that he was . He also wouldnât be the Dragonblood Legionâs boss with so many hot-blooded brothers and sisters .
âŠ
Long Chen slowly walked out of the Huayun Pavilion, his mood heavy . He knew that his enemies werenât giving him any time to breathe . Their schemes came one after another .
Most hateful of all, the Dragonblood Legion had not gained control of their world energy, and the majority of them did not have divine items . If a battle started, it would lead to too many casualties .
Saving Leng Yueyan but sacrificing his brothers? Unacceptable .
So Long Chen could only choose to go alone into the enemy territory with just his saber . Even if he didnât return .
âHow brazen, Long Chen! You still dare to swagger around? Face your death!â
Long Chen had just walked out of the Huayun Pavilion when a roar rang out . A Netherpassage expert wearing robes of the ancient races blocked his path .
More terrifying auras began to rise around him . These people had long since surrounded this area, just waiting for him to come out .
In truth, they hadnât had much hope of capturing Long Chen here . The Huayun Pavilion had transportation formations inside it, and they had assumed that Long Chen would leave through there . But unexpectedly, he actually walked out just like that .
Countless figures fled from the city, afraid of being caught in the battle . Only some confident experts chose to continue floating in the sky, looking at that black-robed man that had shaken the continent .
âLong Chen really did come out! The strongest man of the Martial Heaven Continentâs junior generation, how cool!â
Two women were floating in the sky, softly whispering to each other . Based on their powerful auras and robes, they were Life Star experts from some neutral faction .
Powerful undercurrents were currently surging on the Martial Heaven Continent, so only the disciples from neutral camps dared to roam around . They could gain experience and also gather information . Even neutral factions needed to have information about the movements on the Martial Heaven Continent .
âHmph, who said that? Who declared him the strongest man of the Martial Heaven Continentâs junior generation? What a shameless fool full of hot air . â
Just at this moment, a young man in the sky disdainfully opened his mouth .
