This was Jiang Qing's last instruction. He was only the leader of this trial and didn't even have the strength to make decisions. Once they arrived at their destination, he would temporarily hide in the dark and wouldn't act rashly.
While he was speaking, Ye Zheng, Wu Yang, Wu Yue, and the others were mingling together. They simply didn't listen to Jiang Qing's words. Because Long Chen had injured Zheng Dongyang, they were very dissatisfied with Jiang Qing.
In any case, in their eyes, Jiang Qing was only the leader. Only when the other side suddenly had a strong enemy appear would Jiang Qing have the opportunity to act. The real decision-making power was actually in the hands of Ye Zheng.
"Let's go."
Jiang Qing was expressionless as he took the lead and walked into the giant Cosmos Transmission Array. This transmission array led directly from the True Martial Imperial Domain to the Northern Imperial Domain's Northern Imperial Palace. There was a distance of tens of thousands of miles between them. If there was no Cosmos Transmission Array, who knew when they would arrive.
With the current strength of Long Chen's body, he didn't need to worry about being torn apart by this level of Cosmos Transmission Array.
When he followed Jiang Qing into the golden formation, the Cosmic Teleportation Formation, which was usually quiet, suddenly started to spin.
A total of sixteen people stood in the Cosmos Transmission Array. Jiang Qing took out no less than five hundred divine crystals from his storage ring and casually threw them. Under his control, these five hundred divine crystals fell into the array eyes of the Cosmos Transmission Array. Suddenly, the transmission array erupted with a strong golden light, and its rotation speed instantly increased by tens of thousands of times. The golden light completely blurred Long Chen's eyes, and a tearing force acted on his body, tearing his body in all directions.
Of course, Long Chen could still withstand this force. As for the others, they had no choice but to use spirit essence to protect their bodies. In terms of physical strength, it could be said that even Jiang Qing was inferior to Long Chen. This was because Long Chen's current body was basically equivalent to a seventh-grade divine skill, or even stronger.
The Ancestral Dragon's bloodline expanded his terrifying physical body, strengthened his meridians, and allowed his Divine Essence to be ten thousand times stronger than other warriors of the same level. At the same time, it was a great help to his God Martial Soul and physical body. This wasn't just a strengthening of his physical body, but a transformation of his life. Every time he absorbed one-tenth of the dragon's blood, Long Chen would feel that his life level was rising.
The distance between the Northern Imperial Region and the True Martial Imperial Region was even greater than the distance between the Eastern Imperial Region and the True Martial Imperial Region. Long Chen didn't know how much time had passed. It might have been a few days, or it might have been an instant. In any case, he had been suffering, let alone the others.
Suddenly, in the distance of the dark tunnel filled with tearing power, a golden light appeared. Everyone's faces were filled with joy, because this meant that they had arrived at the Northern Palace.
Everyone had suffered enough, and it was finally time. This also meant that the opportunity to realize their ambitions had also arrived.
Everyone touched the golden light in front of them. A burst of golden light flashed, and they appeared in a golden formation. This golden formation was similar to the previous one, but the surrounding scenery had changed greatly.
The previous Cosmos Transmitting Formation was surrounded by dust. This Cosmos Transmitting Formation was in a city that was similar to the Eastern Imperial Palace. There were guards around it, but their cultivations were generally not high.
Generally, warriors from the True Martial Imperial Region were not strictly searched. Because of this, Jiang Qing led Long Chen and the others into the crowd and quickly left the area where the guards were stationed.
"It's snowing."
Long Chen raised his head. This Northern Imperial Palace was a vast white world. It was covered in snow for thousands of miles, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground that was almost a meter thick. The temperature had dropped to an extremely low level, even lower than some of the Lesser Cosmos Worlds that Long Chen had experienced before.
The entire city, whether it was the roofs or the trees, was covered with snow. The entire city was completely white, submerged by the feather-like snow.
They were already cultivators. After reaching the Divine Martial Arts Realm, a cultivator's life had already risen to another level, and they were like gods. This was a kind of escape. Snow only belonged to mortals, but when Long Chen looked at the falling snow, he would also think of the days when he was still a weakling in Baiyang Town, hiding from the snow under the eaves with his neck tucked into his shoulders.
In those days, there was no Lingxi or martial arts. There was only confusion and solitude. But now, he was different. He had already transcended his original self and became the god-like existence that he had thought he was back then.
Only seven years had passed.
Long Chen did not say anything, and followed Jiang Qing's footsteps, quickly and quietly leaving the Northern Imperial Palace. Originally, if they had arrived normally, the people of the Northern Imperial Palace would have welcomed them grandly, but the situation was different now. In order to complete the mission, they could not reveal their identities.
Fortunately, they could safely leave the Northern Imperial Palace. In front of them was a vast expanse of white snow. Jiang Qing had memorized the direction of the Moon Demon Cave on the map, so they could only walk on foot. Of course, with their speed, it was not bad either, at least Long Chen did not have to worry about being left behind.
The group of people was divided into two groups. The disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace Leader were still standing together with their own group. Just as they walked out of the Northern Imperial Palace, Wu Yang and the others actually did not say a word and rushed past Jiang Qing. A total of four people left first, leaving only Liu Qingfeng who was extremely embarrassed, and said: "Palace Master Jiang, I can't persuade them, look."
Jiang Qing didn't have any expression. In his eyes, this was just a child's quarrel. He smiled and said, "Let them be. In any case, they won't obey me even if they follow me. Qingfeng, you are more sensible. Follow them well. Don't let them do unwise things. Do you understand?"
Liu Qingfeng nodded helplessly and said: "Many thanks for Palace Master Jiang's magnanimity. When we return to the Evil Dragon Palace, I will definitely bring them to apologize to you another day. These fellows are really too disobedient."
"Go."
Jiang Qing did not say much. He would not hold back disobedient people. Before the battle had even started, they had already split into two groups. If the supervisor saw this, the Evil Dragon Palace's points would definitely be deducted. If it was an organization, unity was a powerful force. Internal strife was often the root of destruction. Therefore, as long as one was in the upper echelons, they would definitely not like this kind of situation.
However, Jiang Qing did not care. This time, the supervisor was Han Yunxing. He was a mysterious person. Until now, no one had seen his shadow. It was very likely that he did not even come. After all, how many people who were called idiots were normal?
Just like that, Ye Zheng, Wu Yang and the other direct disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace advanced first. They might have gone to the Moon Demon Cave from another direction. Jiang Qing was not worried about them at all. He brought Long Chen and the other nine Vice Palace Master disciples towards the Moon Demon Cave.
In truth, the other nine disciples also formed a small group. They did not take Long Chen seriously. Zhao Xueji could be considered as their friend. Who was Long Chen? He was just a newcomer. Why would Jiang Qing dote on him so much? He had even replaced Zhao Xueji to participate in the trial.
Zhao Xueji was one of the stronger people who had passed the Devouring Fire Tribulation. She was a great guarantee for everyone's safety. Who was Long Chen? If his strength was only at the level where he defeated Zheng Dongyang, although he would not be a burden, he would at least not be as useful as Zhao Xueji.
Long Chen followed behind Jiang Qing, walking alone. He didn't pay much attention to them.
Apart from the top disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace, there were more Yin than Yang. Among the nine disciples, six had just passed the Oblivion Wind Tribulation. The other three had passed the Devouring Fire Tribulation, similar to Zhao Xueji. Coincidentally, these three were all women. They were all beautiful. Some were cute, some were mature, and some were unruly. They chattered in low voices along the way. The beautiful scenery was a feast for the eyes.
These three women all had arrogance in their eyes.
In addition to those three martial artists, they and Zheng Dongyang could be regarded as second-class characters. If they performed well this time, it was normal for them to have a meteoric rise in their career. Moreover, with their good looks, if more powerful and higher status young male martial artists fancied them, it would be even better. Basically, even if they didn't cultivate, they could live the rest of their lives carefree.
At this time, Wu Yang and the others had already left. As long as Jiang Qing left, the group would be without a leader. When the three women saw this situation, they quickly tied the other six cultivators to their side. Naturally, they isolated Long Chen, who in their opinion was someone who had entered through connections.
Perhaps in their minds, only those with internal connections could enter the Evil Dragon Palace so easily and take over Zhao Xueji's position.
The women followed behind, creating a lively scene.
"It looks like they don't like you very much," Jiang Qing suddenly whispered in Long Chen's ear as they moved forward.
"Them."
Long Chen was startled. Actually, he had no interest in these people. In terms of combat strength, Long Chen could kill them all within ten breaths of time.
Of course, they were the disciples of other Vice Palace Masters. Killing them instantly was out of the question.
"I will make them like me and rely on me." Long Chen understood Jiang Qing's meaning. Jiang Qing also did not want Long Chen to be isolated by them.
Jiang Qing nodded in satisfaction. Long Chen was a very smart person. He understood immediately.
Because of his intelligence, Jiang Qing vaguely felt uneasy. She did not know why, but this feeling suddenly appeared in her heart.
The journey from the Northern Imperial Region to the Moon Demon Cave was quite a long one. They chose to keep a low profile. Even with their current speed, it took them a month's time. They didn't rest much along the way. Finally, while the disciples were complaining, they arrived at a mountain range very close to the Moon Demon Cave.
