"Xuanji, I can only sneak in. I don't know what will happen, so I'll leave it to fate." Long Chen did not say anything more after whispering. He turned around and left.
Behind him, Shangguan Ba looked at the crowd with an arrogant expression.
Just when Long Chen turned around, two people just happened to walk in from outside the camp. It was a young man and a young woman. The young man walked in front. He wore long, golden robes and held a folding fan. His long hair was tied up, and he was covered in expensive clothing. An elegant sword hung from his waist, and his face was covered in makeup.
Long Chen could tell with a single glance that the young man's strength was similar to Shangguan Ba's. He had also just reached the sixth layer of the God Martial realm.
Long Chen did not pay much attention to the young man, but the woman behind him made Long Chen shudder. She seemed to be shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly. She had red lips and white teeth, so she should be a rare beauty. She had a cold bearing similar to Li Xuanji. She should not be more than a hundred years old, but she should have surpassed the sixth layer of the God Martial realm.
The young woman made Long Chen feel a sense of dread.
The young man's face was plastered with a smile as he welcomed the young lady. When they entered the camp, Shangguan Ba and the others saw them. They ran over and bowed in front of the young man. Among them, Shangguan Ba took a step forward and said, "Young Master Ya has finally arrived. And this … Ah ah, it's actually the legendary Lady Qin Shi, the personal disciple of the World Emperor of Nine Serenities."
Shangguan Ba was stunned when he saw the young woman.
"Oh, it's Shangguan Ba. Get out of the way with your people. Don't block the way and offend this beauty," the young man referred to as master Ya waved his fan and said gently and elegantly.
"Yes, yes."
Shangguan Ba hurriedly nodded with a fawning expression. He called for everyone to stand up and move to one side. He constantly nodded at master Ya and the young woman called Qin Shi with a silly smile. He seemed like a pug, which was quite a funny sight.
Shangguan Ya was extremely satisfied. She said to the girl beside her, "Lady Qin Shi, please. You can enter the Nine Serenities Demon Mountain from here. With lady Qin Shi's terrifying strength, the Saints' Fruit this time will definitely be yours."
Qin Shi didn't say much. She just looked at Shangguan Ya and said flatly, "Young Master Shangguan, thank you."
After saying that, she walked in front. Shangguan Ya was overjoyed that the beauty was talking to her. She hurriedly followed Qin Shi's footsteps. The two of them passed through the crowd and headed in the direction of the Nine Secluded Demon Mountain. Shangguan Ba and the others did not say a word. They just nodded and bowed as they watched them leave.
From the beginning to the end, Long Chen was in a state of being neglected.
After Shangguan Ya and the others passed by him, Long Chen smiled coldly and followed them.
Shangguan Ba had spoken so righteously before, but he became like a puppy as soon as Shangguan Ya arrived. What he had done before was just to prove his might. Before true nobles, what he had said before was basically bullsh * t. He had even asked Long Chen to step over his corpse.
There were plenty of people like him everywhere. If it were not for the importance of the mission, Long Chen definitely would have beaten him up so badly that even his mother would not be able to recognize him.
At this moment, Long Chen took advantage of the time when Shangguan Ya and Qin Shi entered to follow them. He wanted to see what Shangguan Ba would say now.
Long Chen had underestimated Shangguan Ba's relentless character. Seeing that Long Chen was trying to bluff his way through, he glared at him and rushed forward. He stood in front of Long Chen and looked angrily at Long Chen. He said, "Brat, didn't you hear what I said just now? I asked you to get out of here. Do you want to eat my fist?"
"If they can go in, why can't I?" Long Chen looked at him with a faint smile.
Shangguan Ya's eyes revealed a brutal killing intent. She was completely convinced by this ignorant youth. If she did not teach Long Chen a lesson, Long Chen would not understand that there was such a thing as status in this world. In front of people with status, fairness and rules were just a joke.
"How can you compare to them? They are genius warriors, while you are trash. Even if you go in, you will be killed immediately. I am trying to save you, do you understand?" Shangguan Ba threatened.
"I am not strong enough."
Long Chen suddenly laughed. His ruthlessness and decisiveness were unparalleled. At this moment, Long Chen actually exceeded everyone's expectations. He punched the corner of Shangguan Ba's mouth and sent him flying. Shangguan Ba flew into the sky and fiercely smashed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of many people, including Shangguan Ya and Qin Shi. They turned their heads and looked at the youth, Long Chen.
As for the others, they were all stunned. Not to mention how powerful Long Chen was, he actually dared to hit Long Chen in this place. Almost no one would have thought that Long Chen would be so daring.
The warriors who had just pleaded for Long Chen were all stunned as they looked at Long Chen, who seemed to have suddenly changed.
"B * stard."
Shangguan Ba's mouth was full of blood and his body was covered in mud. He climbed up in a sorry state and looked at Long Chen like a wild beast. He roared, "How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me! I will kill you and tear you into pieces!"
Long Chen quietly watched him go crazy without any expression. His calmness immediately made the others look at him in a new light.
As Long Chen expected, Shangguan Ya could not stand it anymore. When Shangguan Ba was about to attack Long Chen crazily, he snorted and said, "Shangguan Ba, if you want to embarrass yourself, get lost."
Hearing Shangguan Ya's words, Shangguan Ba shuddered and said, "Master Ya, this guy actually dared to hit me, I … I …"
"This is my Shangguan Clan's territory! How dare you beat up one of my clansmen? You're courting death! Do as you see fit! But, don't do it after I leave, don't offend my beauty!" Shangguan Ya said angrily.
"Yes, yes." Shangguan Ba was scared. He looked at Long Chen fiercely and nodded.
Shangguan Ya quickly turned around and went to please Qin Shi.
Once they left, Long Chen would definitely not have a good ending.
However, at this moment, Long Chen did not feel any pressure at all. He shouted, "We are both late, but they can swagger their way in, while I have to endure this idiot's humiliation. It seems that the so-called nine great clans and the disciple of the World Emperor are only at this level."
His words made the crowd tremble. No one expected that Long Chen would be so bold as to say such words in the Shangguan family's territory and in front of the World Emperor's disciple.
"Let him in." Qin Shi glanced at Long Chen, then turned around and left.
Shangguan Ya was startled. Long Chen's words were directed at both of them. He really wanted to kill Long Chen in front of the beauty, but he never expected Qin Shi to take the initiative to let Long Chen in.
Everything was under Long Chen's control. He made a gesture of cutting his neck at Shangguan Ba, then smiled. After that, he turned around and rushed towards the Nine Serenities Demon Mountain, leaving Shangguan Ya and the others behind.
"Sigh …" Shangguan Ya felt a little awkward after Qin Shi and Long Chen left. The others didn't know what to do. Since the beauty had left, Shangguan Ya didn't care about it anymore and quickly followed Qin Shi. As for the rest of the people, they could only look at Shangguan Ba, whose teeth had been knocked out. They couldn't laugh even if they wanted to.
"Damn it, this guy's name is Jiang Yunfan, right? If I catch him again, I'll tear him into a thousand pieces!"
Shangguan Ba was extremely furious. He immediately rushed out of the Shangguan family's camp and started practicing his fist techniques. He had been fooled by Long Chen today. Long Chen's punch had caused him quite a bit of pain.
As for Shangguan Ya, after Long Chen had gone far away, he carefully asked, "Erm, Miss Qin Shi, why did you help that nameless guy just now?"
Qin Shi glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything.
What Shangguan Ya didn't know was that he had been despised by this girl. It was such a simple question, but as a disciple of one of the nine super clans, he couldn't figure it out, and he even went to ask Qin Shi. He deserved to be despised.
Compared to Long Chen's intelligence, this Shangguan Ya was a joke. Although he was well-dressed, it was nothing. A man's personality depended on what he wore inside.
On the other side, Long Chen had successfully entered the Nine Serenities Demon Mountain. There was a lush forest below. Some trees were hundreds of meters tall, and there were many vines and shrubs beneath them. There were very few gaps that allowed the moonlight to shine through, so the forest was completely dark.
The reasoning was very simple. Long Chen knew that Qin Shi was a prideful person. Long Chen had pointed out that she used her power and status to break the rules, so she could only let Long Chen enjoy the same treatment as her. Only then would it show that she had true power, and not someone who relied on status.
Poor Shangguan Ya. She didn't even know what was going on.
"I'm already in. Next, we'll fight for the Saints' Fruit with everything we have. You have to hold on," Long Chen said to Li Xuanji in the Taixu Realm.
"Good luck."
These two simple words expressed her support for Long Chen.
These two words gave Long Chen a great amount of inner strength. He knew that there was a girl like that waiting for him. Her hope was the undefeatable inner strength of Long Chen. Long Chen had flourishing faith. This was the faith that would lead him to success.
Now, it was time to witness a miracle.
Tossing aside all his thoughts, Long Chen charged into the clouds. He stood on the crown of the hundred-meter-tall tree and looked at the Nine Serenities Demon Mountain several hundred kilometers away. From his position, he could truly observe the vastness and strangeness of the mountain in detail.
