Li Xuanji was stunned by his anxious attitude. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know where I can go. I want to travel around and see the world."
Long Chen was dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Ling Xi had instructed him to become a prominent figure in the True Martial Emperor Palace and enter the Martial God Palace. Once he had sufficient status and strength, he would go to the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace to look for her. Therefore, Long Chen had to return to the True Martial Emperor Palace after dealing with the matter of the Supreme Yin Devil World.
But could Li Xuanji go with him?
Even if she could, she wouldn't agree to it. After all, it wasn't appropriate for her to follow Long Chen there. What kind of status could she use to enter? Furthermore, what kind of status could she use to stay by Long Chen's side after entering?
These were all big problems.
Long Chen realized that he had been rude. She had the right to make her own decisions. Furthermore, for someone like her who had been trapped for over a thousand years and had now suffered the destruction of her family, perhaps walking around was the best way.
The Dragon Sacrificial Continent was so big. She could travel around and get to know the world. It was better than fighting with him in the True Martial Emperor Palace.
"Why are you so nervous? It's not like I don't want to see you. The world is only so small. Since you came from the Myriad Kingdom Domain, I know you are in the True Martial Emperor Palace. Therefore, there will be many opportunities for us to meet."
Seeing Long Chen's nervous expression, the calm Li Xuanji suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
This feeling of being cared for was really good.
Long Chen smiled awkwardly. She was right. There would be many opportunities for them to meet in the future. After all, they had fought side by side. They should be very good friends.
"What's your next plan?" asked Long Chen.
"In my Li family, only my younger brother Li Tianji and I are left. The others are either lost or dead. My younger brother is still young and impulsive. I handed the heavy responsibility of the Li family's inheritance to him, but I'm afraid that he will act recklessly. I have to find him first, at least let him find a place to inherit the Li family first, and then do something else."
She was a responsible person. This was probably the only thing she could think of.
Long Chen nodded.
"Let's go now."
"Mm." Li Xuanji nodded lightly.
"Your two uncles will be back soon. I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
She was not good at talking. At this time, she pursed her lips and revealed a knowing smile to Long Chen. Then, she resolutely turned around and left.
"I will think of a way to restore your eyes," Long Chen suddenly said.
Such a beautiful woman was missing her eyes. Long Chen always felt that there was a thorn in his heart.
"Yes."
Nodding her head, she left just like that.
Perhaps, she already knew that Long Chen would do this.
In the end, she still left. Everything was very calm. There were no vows of undying love. He did not know what the next time they met would be. Long Chen remembered that the Eternal Guardian Heart he gave her was still hanging on her chest. He hoped that the next time they met, it would still be there.
A cool breeze blew.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xuanji was already gone.
A bitter smile appeared on Long Chen's face. He did not know why, but this woman made his heart ache. It was very difficult for him to part with her. However, he also understood that the person in his heart was Lingxi. This was something that could not be changed.
"Maybe I … Uh." Long Chen felt that his mind was in a mess.
After a while, Long Chen noticed that Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing had returned. Seeing Long Chen's dazed look, they knew that Li Xuanji had left.
"She left so soon? Not lingering for a while?" Nangong Lie's mouth was wide open as he said in disbelief.
Han Yunxing smiled and said, "That's about what I expected."
Following Long Chen's eyes, he looked in the direction that Li Xuanji had left. Han Yunxing sighed and said, "This girl is not bad. She has a true personality. I've heard about her experience. She is indeed pitiful, but not bad."
To be able to make him say 'not bad' twice in a row, this was already a very high evaluation.
"Old Han, are you in love?" Nangong Lie teased.
"I'm not the one who's in love." Han Yunxing pursed his lips and looked at Long Chen from the corner of his eyes.
Long Chen knew what they meant. Compared to Lingxi, who they had never met, and Lingxi, who hoped that Long Chen would fight for her, Li Xuanji might be more real to them.
Long Chen's mind was in a mess whenever he thought about it. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He was a very persistent person and didn't want to change his original intention. Since he had decided to establish himself in the True Martial Emperor Palace, he would do it to his heart's content.
"You guys went back to the Emperor Palace." Long Chen changed the topic.
Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie knew that Long Chen didn't want to talk about it, so they stopped talking. At this moment, Han Yunxing took out a jade box. It was a magnificent jade box that was emitting a misty white light. There was a fragrance coming from the jade box. Obviously, the jade box was made of an extraordinary material. "Indeed.
I went back to the Emperor Palace and asked an old friend for the 'Amethyst Jade Lotus Pill'. This is a high-grade medicinal pill, Grade Nine Divine Grade. It has the effect of reviving the dead. It's best for nurturing meridians and healing internal injuries. With this Amethyst Jade Lotus Pill, your injuries should recover in a few days. As for the injuries on your God Martial Soul, I've already submitted an application to the Martial God Palace for the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Pill'. It should be distributed within a month. With our contributions, it shouldn't be a problem. You should go back to the Evil Dragon Palace and wait for a while. "
Nangong Lie also said, "That's right. You've consumed too much energy in this battle. Don't work too hard in a short period of time. Recuperate your body first. It won't be too late to improve after that. With the two of us around, as long as you're strong enough, it won't be a problem to enter the Martial God Palace and obtain a high position."
"Thank you, Uncle Han and Uncle Nangong."
Long Chen sincerely thanked them. Without them, Long Chen wouldn't have achieved anything in the game between the upper echelons of the Shadow Demon Realm.
"Why are you thanking us? It's tacky," Nangong Lie waved his hand and said unhappily.
The three of them laughed.
"This battle was also the most exciting battle in my life. Two Nirvana Tribulation Realm warriors. I didn't even dare to think about it in the past. I didn't expect those two grandsons to be frightened by your groundless backer," Nangong Lie said with a smile.
"I guess he's afraid because he knows that Little Chen is a Dragon Martial Artist," Han Yunxing said.
"What's the point of talking about other things? Let Little Chen take this Amethyst Jade Lotus Pill first. After he recuperates, we'll return to the True Martial Emperor Palace and wait for the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Pill to recover the God Martial Soul. The Hidden Dragon Ranking Tournament will take place in half a year. You can prepare well in this half a year. You'll shock the True Martial Emperor Palace soon," Nangong Lie said with a smile.
Although this was just a forest, there was nothing to worry about with Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing protecting him.
Ten days later, with the miraculous effect of the Amethyst Jade Lotus Pill and his powerful strength, Long Chen's injuries had mostly recovered. The Dragon Blood Divine Energy had basically recovered too. However, the God Martial Soul was still like a thorn in Long Chen's body, preventing him from displaying his peak combat power.
After their bodies recovered, the three of them got up and returned to the True Martial Emperor Palace. Long Chen returned to the Evil Dragon Palace to recuperate while Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie went to the Martial God Palace to wait for the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Pill. The Martial God Palace also had a strict system. The two of them didn't have a particularly high status in the Martial God Palace, so they could only wait obediently.
After all, the Nine Revolutions Golden Soul Pill was much more precious than the Amethyst Jade Lotus Pill.
Soon, Long Chen arrived at the Evil Dragon Palace. He returned to the River Heart Pavilion in a low-key manner. Perhaps it was because of Jiang Qing's departure, the River Heart Pavilion seemed a little desolate. Jiang Qing's disciples were cultivating in boredom. When they saw Long Chen return, they were immediately surprised and surrounded him.
Seeing their haggard faces, Long Chen knew that it must be because of Jiang Qing's absence that their status had dropped greatly. That was why they were in such dire straits.
"Seventh Brother, you're finally back."
"I heard that the Drunkard of the Martial God Palace took you away. What's going on? Did the Drunkard accept you as his personal disciple?"
"That's right. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to come back after half a year. That must be it."
For a moment, everyone was talking at once.
Long Chen casually found an excuse to dodge the question, and then asked, "By the way, where did Master go?"
Everyone's faces darkened. Then, they thought about it. Indeed, Long Chen did not know about this. Hence, Jiang Lingwen said, "Master disappeared mysteriously. I heard that he was killed. I don't know either. In any case, there has been no news of him for half a year."
"Indeed. Without Master around, we have been in a miserable state for the past half a year. Fortunately, Seventh Brother, you are finally back. You are the strongest disciple of the Evil Dragon Palace."
"Strongest disciple."
Hearing this, Jiang Cha muttered, "I heard that Ye Zheng actually reached Consummation of the sixth layer of the Divine Martial Realm after half a year of hard work. The first disciple position might not be Seventh Brother anymore …"
Thinking of Ye Zheng, everyone's expressions turned unsightly. Seventh Brother was no longer the first disciple.
Long Chen chatted with them for a while longer. Then, he used the excuse that he needed to rest and returned to his room. In reality, he really needed to recuperate. As he lay on the bed, he thought about what happened during this period of time. Even if it happened a few more times, he would still have no regrets.
Thinking of Li Xuanji, Long Chen remembered that her eyes had to be saved. After a period of time, he would find a way.
After a while, within the range of his Spirit Devouring Demon Eyes, a person walked over and quickly arrived in front of Long Chen's door.
"Come in."
The door opened and a fat figure rushed in, blocking most of the light. Long Chen quickly stood up because the person who came was the Evil Dragon Palace Master, Shentu Hong.
At this moment, Shentu Hong looked at Long Chen with an ugly expression.
