Since Jiang Qing had come looking for him, and Long Chen had even killed his proud disciple, of course he could not refuse. So he nodded and said, "Master, just let me know when the time comes. I will definitely complete the mission and receive the reward."
Jiang Qing liked disciples like Long Chen, who talked a lot but did things with confidence. He nodded with a smile and said, "Since your strength has increased, you should consolidate it. I'll leave first. Ten days later, you can go to the Cloud Ascending Platform to welcome the Hall Master back with us."
Long Chen nodded.
Just like that, Jiang Qing walked out of the training room. The moment the steel door closed, Jiang Qing's face suddenly became extremely fanatical and twisted, even trembling.
"What is that thing between his eyebrows? How can it have such a magical effect …"
With excitement, Jiang Qing walked out of the Trial Tower step by step.
After watching his figure disappear, Long Chen started to think. From Jiang Qing's behavior just now, he should not have known about the existence of the True Martial Emperor Soul. This was what Long Chen was most worried about. Now it was all good. He killed Zhao Xueji and did not receive any punishment. He even got a chance to participate in the Trial Battle.
After adjusting his thoughts, Long Chen was a little curious. What mission was the Evil Dragon Palace going to carry out? Would it be carried out in the Three Thousand Palaces or outside? There were a total of three thousand missions. There were obviously not that many things to do in the Imperial Star, so he would probably have to go out of the True Martial Emperor Palace.
Long Chen was the first person to participate in the Trial Battle after coming in.
"As long as martial strength is supreme, there is no need to worry about anything else."
Long Chen calmed himself down, sat down cross-legged, and began to consolidate his current cultivation. In these ten days, he had stopped cultivating, and instead pondered over the Battle Skills he had learned. That mysterious Nine Dragon Scripture, because he did not have the dragon scale, could not be used at the moment. Currently, his strongest moves were the three great sixth grade Divine Skills, and when used together, they would have an extraordinary effect.
That was the God Murdering Sword Formation, Taibai Sword Prison, and Indestructible Sword Body.
Long Chen did not even use his Undying Sword Body, but he could already directly exterminate Zhao Xue Ji. The God Murdering Sword Formation was a pure attack, while the Taibai Sword Prison was only used to trap disciples. Long Chen had tried the power of the Undying Sword Body before, and it was extremely powerful. It could even allow Long Chen to replicate a Long Chen with an attack power that was on par with his own for a short period of time.
Long Chen had spent a lot of effort to deal with Chu Tiange's Invincible Sword Body, and had almost died in the process.
After reaching the Consummation of the Second Lv of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, his strength had been improved in all aspects. Long Chen could now compete with warriors at Su Xiaodie's level.
He slowly stood up.
Ten days had passed, and the divine light in his eyes was surging. It was obvious that he had reached a higher realm. In fact, he had become even more ferocious. As long as he had strength, he had nothing to fear.
"Cloud Ascension Platform."
This was the place where Long Chen had first come to the Evil Dragon Palace. After walking out of the Tower of Trials, he found that Qin Feng was waiting for him, so he hurried over to greet him.
"Old Seven, Master told me to wait for you here, and then bring you to the Cloud Ascension Platform," Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Many thanks."
Long Chen hurried towards the Cloud Ascension Platform with him. On the way, Qin Feng's expression suddenly became very strange. He asked, "Old Seven, let me ask you something."
"Please speak." Long Chen continued to look forward.
"Do you know where First Senior Sister went? I heard that she entered the Tower of Trials, but she did not come back. Also, how did the spot for her to participate in the Tower of Trials fall into your hands?" Qin Feng asked curiously.
"Doesn't the outside world know about this?"
Long Chen roughly knew that Jiang Qing was keeping it a secret for him. He said honestly, "In the Tower of Trials, I chose to fight randomly and encountered Zhao Xueji. We fought to the death and I killed her."
Long Chen's casual words caused Qin Feng to be stunned. He looked at Long Chen in shock and thought about the series of events. Evidently, what Long Chen said was the truth. This was too exaggerated …
"Your battle prowess has already reached such a level?" Qin Feng said with incomparable envy.
Long Chen nodded.
Qin Feng was very satisfied with him. He did not have a good impression of Zhao Xueji, so he did not blame Long Chen. Sometimes, people had no choice in life. If you did not kill others, others would kill you. Qin Feng was also not a naive person.
"I remember that Master has been guarding the Tower of Trials recently. He must know about this matter and gave you the spot for the Tower of Trials. He has doted on Zhao Xueji for so many years, but in the blink of an eye, he turned his back on her. This …"
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's face was filled with lingering fear. He solemnly looked at Long Chen and said, "I will help you keep the matter of you killing Zhao Xueji a secret. Long Chen, I can see that you are a very hot-blooded and powerful person. However, I still have to give you a warning. Be careful of Jiang Qing."
"Why?" Long Chen lifted his head and asked.
Qin Feng was a little helpless and said, "I can't say it clearly. In any case, his reputation in the True Martial Emperor Palace isn't that good. Just be careful."
Although this place was still far from the Cloud Ascension Platform, Qin Feng was also worried that Jiang Qing's powerful divine sense would suddenly sweep in this direction. Long Chen understood. He smiled and patted Qin Feng's shoulder, saying, "Let's go, I will remember what you said."
Qin Feng smiled in satisfaction. It was always good to be careful.
Very soon, the two of them arrived at the foot of the Cloud Ascension Platform. The Cloud Ascension Platform soared into the sky and touched the clouds.
"I won't be going up. Only the disciples who are participating in the trial are qualified to go up. Master is waiting for you up there, I will go back first." Qin Feng said.
Long Chen nodded. After bidding farewell to Qin Feng, he followed the path of rocks and trees, all the way to the peak of the Cloud Ascension Platform. There were already many people gathered at the peak, but compared to the previous time, the people here were much stronger. Basically, the ten vice palace masters, as well as the disciples they were most proud of, were all here.
The ten deputy palace masters were basically all at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, which was comparable to Jiang Qing, who was at the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. Including Jiang Qing, there were three deputy palace masters in total, while the other seven had just entered the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. Each of them had brought their own disciples, and now, only Long Chen was left. Before Long Chen arrived, the deputy palace masters were discussing about Zhao Xueji. At this time, Long Chen arrived on the stage, and everyone's eyes focused on him.
"Where did this little brat come from? How dare he rush to the Cloud Ascension Platform at this time? Get lost." A rough-looking vice-palace lord scolded.
"Wait." Jiang Qing waved his hand and said, "This isn't a little brat. Long Chen, come over here."
Among all the vice-palace lords, only his disciple didn't come. Long Chen slightly bowed and greeted the vice-palace lords. Then, he stood behind Jiang Qing and didn't say anything.
"Palace lord Jiang, this is …" Many vice-palace lords looked at Long Chen in confusion. Their disciples were also curiously looking at Long Chen. Two of them knew Long Chen, Chen Yuantong and Li Bijiang. Chen Yuantong's voice was louder. As soon as Long Chen stood still, he asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you mean? He just came to the Evil Dragon Palace for a month and you want him to replace Zhao Xueji and participate in the trial."
From this sentence, everyone finally understood who this person was. It turned out to be the ruthless person who had recently crippled Yang Yu and seriously injured Zheng Dongyang. Although they had never seen Long Chen, but his name was like a thunderclap piercing their ears. Moreover, in order to protect him, Jiang Qing did not hesitate to offend the Temple Master's disciple. From this, it could be seen how much Jiang Qing valued Long Chen.
Jiang Qing patted Long Chen's shoulder and said, "I thought about it again and again. Long Chen is the best candidate to represent me in the trial. That's why he is here today. Long Chen has only been in the Evil Dragon Palace for a month. Senior Brothers and Sisters, please take care of him."
Jiang Qing had a smile on his face the whole time.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, scratching their heads in confusion. But then they remembered that Long Chen was able to defeat even Zheng Dongyang, so he should have some ability. Otherwise, he would be too much of an idiot and would only drag the team down if he participated in the trial. However, it was clear that everyone had more faith in Zhao Xueji's battle prowess.
"Senior Sister Xueji is obviously stronger and can cooperate better with us. Why do you want to replace him?"
"Yeah, what is the relationship between Long Chen and Palace Lord Jiang?"
All the disciples were at least in the fifth level of the Divine Martial Realm. At this moment, they were gathered in twos and threes, whispering to Long Chen. Their faces were full of disgust and dissatisfaction. They believed that Zhao Xueji was definitely more suitable than Long Chen.
However, Jiang Qing didn't explain. It was up to him to decide who would participate in the Trial Battle.
Clearly, the disciples of the Temple Lord's faction had not arrived yet. Everyone chatted for a while, and finally, after fifteen minutes, a group of five people arrived from the east. A powerful aura descended, and the group of five landed on the Cloud Ascension Platform. They just stood at the side and didn't come over to greet the Temple Lords. From this, one could see how arrogant they were.
Among this group of people, there was Liu Qingfeng, whom Long Chen was familiar with. Liu Qingfeng didn't expect that Long Chen would cause so much trouble after coming in, and even hurt his junior brother. Of course, he didn't have a good impression of his junior brother. At this moment, he didn't know which side he should stand on, so he smiled awkwardly at Long Chen.
Next to Liu Qingfeng was Zheng Dongyang, who was looking at Long Chen with anger and hatred. Of course, Long Chen had pierced a hole in his lower abdomen. After more than a month, he should have recovered.
At this moment, Zheng Dongyang was whispering in the ears of the other three warriors.
Those three warriors were probably the three strongest disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace Lord. They rarely showed their faces, but they were very famous.
Long Chen's gaze landed on the three disciples.
The most eye-catching ones were the man and woman who looked similar to each other. They were obviously brother and sister. Their appearances were very outstanding. The man had an imposing appearance, and his body was full of a strong aura. The woman was gentle like water, and her clear eyes seemed to be able to speak.
And the one that Long Chen was most afraid of was the skinny man in the middle, wearing a gray robe.
