The appearance of this youth immediately caused Long Chen's pupils to constrict.
Although this person was of the same age, regardless of whether it was status or strength, he had reached a level that Long Chen had to look up to.
In terms of strength, there was only one explanation for someone who could make Long Chen feel fear, and that was the Earth Core stage. To be able to enter the Earth Core stage at this age, he was definitely a genius amongst geniuses.
Moreover, he called himself Big Brother Tianyu. Without a doubt, he was the Dongfang Tianyu that Chu Yunyao had mentioned just now.
Within the Lingwu family, one of the four great inner clans, a member of the Dongfang family.
Thinking of this, Long Chen knew that facing someone of such status and identity, the only thing he could do now was endure, endure with all his might!
It was just like how he treated Huang Feiyang and Feng Wutian back then. As long as he endured and protected his own name, Long Chen would have a chance of survival.
Chu Yunyao was obviously the person this Dongfang Tianyu had taken a fancy to. Long Chen felt a wave of lingering fear. If what he had said just now had been heard by this Dongfang Tianyu, then the current him would definitely not even have a corpse left.
When he had just joined the Lingwu family, Gan Lin had once told him that in the Lingwu family, the four great inner clans were the true clansmen. They were the masters of the outer clans, existences that could not be provoked.
Although Long Chen resisted in his heart, he had no choice but to admit that the Lingwu family's system was simply too huge. In front of such a power, he was just an ant, so he had to be convinced.
Therefore, at this time, he had already removed the Dragon Soul Transformation and returned to his previous delicate and pretty appearance.
After transforming into the Dragon Soul, although he was stronger, he was also filled with killing intent. If this Dongfang Tianyu hated him, then he would be finished.
"The time isn't right. I'll just pretend to be a grandson for a while."
At this time, seeing Dongfang Tianyu appear, Chu Yunyao's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise. She excitedly said: "Big Brother Tianyu, how did you know I was here?"
"I heard from your father that you came to participate in the Heaven Martial Arts Realm trial, so I followed you here. You outsiders are really something, why are you doing a trial for no reason? If you were to get hurt, that wouldn't be good.
Oh right, you weren't happy just now, what happened?
Dongfang Tianyu looked at Chu Yun Yao with concern.
When Chu Yunxi thought of Long Chen, a trace of hostility flashed in the depths of her eyes. However, it only lasted for a moment. She looked at Long Chen and said sweetly, "No, I'm just fighting over the Clear Qi Sword in the heart-devouring beast's body. I can't blame others for competing with me …"
Dongfang Tianyu furrowed his brows, and his tone turned ice-cold. He turned his head and looked straight at Long Chen. At the same time, he said, "He actually dares to fight with you over something? Could it be that he doesn't know of my existence?"
By then, he had already turned to look at Long Chen with a cold, murderous glint in his eyes.
Long Chen hurriedly said: "Miss Yunyao wants to get a real test, that's why she wants us to use our full strength. We only dared to make a move because we listened to her. Otherwise, with you here, how would we dare to fight with Miss Yunyao?"
As long as there was life, there was no need to worry about firewood. Now that he was pretending to be a grandson and preserving his life, there might be a chance for revenge in the future. Therefore, Long Chen was very open-minded.
Even though he had been abandoned.
"Is that so?"
Dongfang Tianyu nodded. Long Chen's words were very useful to him.
Chu Yun Yao had originally wanted to borrow Dongfang Tianyu's hand to tactfully get rid of Long Chen, but after hearing Long Chen's words, all of her killing moves were dissolved.
If she were to pester endlessly and insist on proving that Long Chen was lying, it would be hard for Dongfang Tianyu to think that she wasn't pure enough and had a strong desire for revenge. Thus, she gritted her teeth and decided to let Long Chen go first.
"Brat, as long as you are still in the Lingwu family, I have a way to take your life!
No one who dares to contradict me will be able to live! "
At this time, Dongfang Tianyu had already killed the Heart Devouring Demon Beast. From its body, he took out a Qiankun bag, and then took out a light green longsword. He handed it over to Chu Yun Yao and muttered: "This Tai Qing Sword is a pretty good treasure. Take it back, when you reach the Earth Core stage, I'll ask my father for something else for you."
"Thank you, Big Brother Tianyu!"
Chu Yunxi happily received the Tai Qing Sword that she had yearned for even in her dreams and put it into her own Qiankun bag. She secretly looked provocatively at Long Chen, this cowardly man, and seeing that Long Chen didn't move at all, with a flattering face, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. Then, she completely focused her attention on Dongfang Tianyu and said: "Big Brother Tianyu, I have already obtained this Tai Qing Sword, the trial is over, let's go out first?"
"That's exactly what I wanted. Not far from Yuan Ling City, there's a beautiful deep stream. The environment is elegant, and the flowers are everywhere. I was just about to take you to see it."
The two of them only cared about talking and didn't even look at the others. Then, under Dongfang Tianyu's lead, they left this place and headed towards that beautiful deep stream.
As for Long Chen, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this time, the way everyone looked at him was a little strange.
Originally, they had admired Long Chen a lot, but when they saw that Long Chen had met an expert and immediately turned into a grandson, a look of abandonment appeared in their eyes.
"He's just a lowly person. He doesn't even have the strength of character.
We are ashamed to be in the same group. "
Now that the Sky Martial Realm's trial had ended, Chu Yunyao effortlessly obtained the Tai Qing Sword and became the final winner.
Everyone had already accepted this result and left one by one.
Even Liu Ling and the others, seeing that it was over and Feng Wutian was still heavily injured and unconscious, quickly left this place. Only by bringing Feng Wutian back to the Qingyang Hall would he be able to receive adequate treatment.
Very quickly, only Long Chen was left here. Beside him was the corpse of the Heart Devouring Demon Beast.
At this moment, Long Chen's expression was extremely depressed.
"After spending so much effort, in the end, the Tai Qing Sword was still taken away by that little girl. Chu Yunyao, it won't be that easy to kill me. Sooner or later, I will make you regret it. Also, Dongfang Tianyu …"
The person who truly gave Long Chen a lot of pressure was Dongfang Tianyu.
This was the first time that the terror of the four great inner clans of the Lingwu family was clearly displayed in front of Long Chen. Under this enormous power machine, Long Chen finally realized how weak he was even though he had defeated Feng Wutian.
"Fortunately, there's the corpse of the Heart Devouring Demon Beast.
Finally, I've gotten some rewards. "
Chu Yunyao didn't take away the corpse of the Heart Devouring Demon Beast, and since Long Chen was still standing here, of course no one else dared to take it.
Long Chen had just absorbed the Red Flame Golden Suanni, and he had broken through to the Initial Mortal Core realm. That was why he wasn't in a hurry. He took out another storage bag and placed the Heart Devouring Devil Beast's body into it.
Just as he was about to leave the Heaven Martial Realm, he discovered that there was an outstanding and charming woman in front of him. Wasn't that Great Deacon Liu?
Liu Ling hurriedly went out to look for her. She didn't expect her to appear here.
To be able to arrive here so quickly, it meant that Liu Lan had been watching from here for a long time. Long Chen knew that Liu Lan had probably seen everything that he had done just now. Therefore, the gaze she used to look at Long Chen did not have any pretense of charm, nor did it have any contempt that came from her bones. Instead, it was very calm.
"What is it?
Is your heart finally itching from your father's peerless charm? "
Long Chen walked up to Liu Lan's side, looked at her slender and delicate body, and said shamelessly.
Before, he had pretended to be a gentleman, but he had been provoked by Liu Lan twice. Now, he finally had a chance to get back at her.
However, Great Beauty Liu wasn't angry. She smiled faintly and started walking towards the exit of the Heaven Martial Realm. As she walked, she said, "I already knew that you were a hooligan, so I purposely wanted you to reveal your true nature. I didn't expect that I wouldn't succeed, and now you've revealed your true colors."
Originally, Liu Lan thought that Long Chen would definitely not be a match for Feng Wutian. But now that Long Chen had defeated Feng Wutian and proved himself in front of her, Long Chen knew that his performance had already set off a huge wave in this woman's heart. She just pretended to be calm and didn't show it.
However, she no longer had the aura of Long Chen, and Long Chen already knew that at least he had conquered a part of this woman.
When the two of them walked together, it was as if they were old friends chatting.
"To tell the truth, I've indeed underestimated you before, but you can't overestimate yourself either. Just now, when you saw Dongfang Tianyu, I'm sure you know better than me how you felt."
Long Chen was very clear about the pressure Dongfang Tianyu was under.
This time, Dongfang Tianyu had pretended to be a coward in front of him.
"Speaking of which, based on your performance just now, I should give you a new potential value."
Liu Lan looked at Long Chen with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.
"How much?"
"Four stars."
Long Chen nodded, "That's not even five stars?
In the Green Clan, how many people have five stars? "
Liu Lan smiled helplessly, "Just one. However, you don't need to know who he is. Long Chen, since you've obtained a four star potential value, the Lingwu family could have done something for you. They could have helped you deal with the Scarlet Blood Sect, but unfortunately, this action was rejected by the Senior Elders. Only now do I know the identity of the Scarlet Blood Sect Leader."
Long Chen's brows deeply furrowed as he asked, "What kind of identity does the Scarlet Blood Sect Leader have?"
Liu Lan smiled bitterly, shaking her head, "Before this, I didn't know either. Because his identity is rather secretive, ordinary people don't know.
Oh, right, do you know the Beast Soul Hall in Yuan Emperor City? "
Could the Scarlet Blood Sect Leader be related to Yuan Emperor City? Long Chen had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Yuan Emperor City is a power that's similar to Lingwu City."
Liu Lan said directly, "The strongest expert of Yuan Emperor City's Beast Spirit Hall is called Yuan Emperor. This generation's Yuan Emperor has many children, and the Scarlet Blood Sacred Church's Sect Leader is one of the grandchildren of the current Yuan Emperor!"
