It had been more than a month since the True Martial Hall had been so lively.
"This is the new Evil Dragon Palace Leader."
"At such a young age, his attacks are swift and fierce, calm yet crazy. At first, I thought that the rumors were exaggerated, but in fact, his reputation is well-deserved."
"His opponent is Chen Xiao from the High Yang Palace, right? Amongst the elders of the High Yang Palace, he is ranked in the top three, and rumor has it that he is about to be promoted to the vice palace master. His strength is not bad in the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm, and this Evil Dragon Palace Leader is able to fight evenly with him at such a young age."
Seeing Long Chen's true performance, there were basically no negative comments.
According to the rumors, Long Chen's strongest move should be the move that defeated Feng Zhilin in the end. However, during this period of time, Long Chen did not use it. Instead, he directly used the close combat power of the Twenty-Four War Spear to fight. With the activation of the True Martial Emperor Soul, this close combat battle was of great help to Long Chen.
His opponent, Chen Xiao, had at least four eighth grade divine skills, and each of them was used to perfection. Long Chen using the Twenty-Four War Spear alone was indeed a bit monotonous, which made him even more determined to go to the Full Moon Pavilion to take a look. Without enough merit points, going to the Full Moon Pavilion would be in vain. Long Chen could not leave the Imperial Palace for the time being. It seemed that he could only earn merit points from the True Martial Hall.
Although he only knew one eighth grade divine skill, when he used it, the blood-red halberd was like an invisible poisonous snake, suppressing Chen Xiao.
At this moment, a group of young men dressed in black with sinister expressions and a scorpion tattoo on their necks squeezed into the crowd. A violent aura was emitted, and those who were watching the show felt the aura. They turned around to take a look and were so scared that they made way for them.
"The people from the Mad Demon Palace are here."
"That leader should be Li Cang, right?"
"As expected, no matter where the people from the Mad Demon Palace go, they will cause people to tremble in fear. They are truly crazy."
In an instant, quiet murmurs could be heard. The originally crowded True Martial Great Hall quickly opened up a path for the group of black-robed young men to reach Long Chen's feet. Yan Qingchen stood there and sensed that his surroundings had become much emptier. He turned around and saw a pair of blazing eyes staring at the young man with bloodshot eyes.
The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
This group of people were all disciples of the Crazed Demon Hall, and the leader was a tall and skinny young man, it was Li Cang. His body was emaciated, like a skeleton without much flesh and blood, and under his tough skin were blue veins that were bulging out, like poisonous snakes crawling in his body. Li Cang's looks could not be considered good, and could even be considered ugly. His nose bridge was very high, and his eyes were long and narrow, giving him a ruthless and sinister look.
In comparison, Yan Qingchen, who had a simple and courageous appearance and even a somewhat sluggish look, was a lot more comforting.
"Yan Qingchen, you're here as well."
Seeing this burly young man, Li Cang squinted his eyes and stopped ten meters away from Yan Qingchen.
Although Li Cang and Yan Qingchen were both famous disciples of the Three Thousand Great Halls, Li Cang was the only one at the peak of the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm, while Yan Qingchen was a true Heaven and Earth Great Path cultivator, and the Divine Kingdom in his body had already been established.
"This is not your house, why can't I be here?"
Yan Qingchen clearly did not like Li Cang, and his eyes were filled with anger. He looked like an infuriated bull, and his nostrils flared slightly.
Li Cang frowned, he did not come here today to have a conflict with Yan Qingchen. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the sky. Long Chen and Chen Xiao's battle had reached the final moment. Li Cang was very surprised by Long Chen's battle prowess, but it did not exceed his expectations. He gritted his teeth, and his originally low voice sounded like the roar of a wild beast, "I don't want to have a conflict with you today, and we will mind our own business. I, Li Cang, am teaching a young lad a lesson, and you'd better not cause trouble."
He still did not know that Long Chen had come together with Yan Qingchen.
"Oh, you want to teach Long Chen a lesson, right? Tell him that he is my brother, and if he dares to touch a single hair on his head, I will make you come in horizontally and leave vertically."
Yan Qingchen was the kind of person who lived in harmony with everyone. However, once he set his mind on something, he would go crazy like a wild bull, and no one would be able to hold him back. Just like now, he had already clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were burning with flames.
Looking at his furious expression, he definitely did not know that he had said the wrong thing. He should have come in vertically and left horizontally. Qin Feng and Jiang Cha, who were at the side, burst out laughing.
After that, even more people started laughing.
Li Cang's face turned gloomy. He had not expected that Long Chen, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, would actually have a relationship with Yan Qingchen, and even address him as a brother.
At this moment, the surrounding people let out a wave of astonishment. It turned out that Long Chen had suddenly gone berserk and used the 24 War Spear twice. That attack, which seemed as though he did not care about his life, directly pierced through Chen Xiao's lower abdomen.
This was more or less considered a victory.
This battle was more of a battle of attrition. Long Chen had a huge advantage in terms of stamina, and in the end, he defeated his opponent.
"I, Chen Xiao, admire you very much." After losing, Chen Xiao stopped in time, and after recovering a little, he opened his mouth to admit defeat.
"Thank you for letting me win. Senior Chen, you have four eighth grade divine skills. This junior is also very impressed," Long Chen said sincerely. This seemed to be the first time he had defeated an opponent without using the Nine Dragons Scripture.
"Four, but I still lost to one of your skills."
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. He cupped his hands and said, "You are an opponent worthy of my respect. I will come to the True Martial Hall often, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to spar with you again."
"I couldn't ask for more." Long Chen said with a light smile.
In the eyes of the crowd, Long Chen was just a handsome young man with great potential and strength. He was not as annoying as the rumors made him out to be. On the other hand, Li Cang, who was below the stage, was a little disgusting.
In the eyes of the crowd, Long Chen's image quietly changed.
At this moment, Long Chen and Chen Xiao walked out together. It was only then that Long Chen noticed the changes below. After bidding farewell to Chen Xiao, he landed beside Yan Qingchen and looked at the man who was looking at him with a gloomy expression. If he guessed correctly, this man should be the Mad Demon Hall's Li Cang, who had asked him to come to the True Martial Hall.
"I guess this must be Senior Brother Li Cang from the Mad Demon Hall. I am Long Chen, nice to meet you." Long Chen acted as though he did not see the hostility in Li Cang's eyes as he smiled and cupped his hands.
Li Cang did not speak. He looked at Long Chen, then at Yan Qingchen, who was gnashing his teeth in anger. Finally, he chose to give up. He snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to get close to me. You will suffer in the future. Go."
After speaking, he turned and left. The group of people from the Mad Demon Hall looked at Long Chen with hatred and left in a grandiose manner.
"What an arrogant fellow. If it wasn't for my father not allowing me to cause trouble, I would have crushed him." Yan Qingchen clenched his fists and a look of indignation appeared on his face.
Long Chen felt that Yan Qingchen was quite cute when he was angry. He did not expect that Yan Qingchen would be angry too.
As for Li Cang, hehe …
"Forget it. There's no need for conflict." Long Chen laughed.
"Forget it. He's obviously here for you. What if he attacks you when I'm not around? This kind of brat has done many such things in the past." Yan Qingchen was still indignant.
"If I can't beat him, I can run. Don't you believe in my speed?" Long Chen teased.
Thinking about how Long Chen's speed was faster than his, Yan Qingchen felt relieved.
At this time, Qin Feng and Jiang Cha came up and comforted Long Chen, telling him to be careful of Li Cang.
"He's a lunatic. With the support of the Mad Demon Hall Master, even the Punishment Hall can't do anything to him." Qin Feng said with some disgust.
"That's right, Hall Master. You have to be careful when you move around alone. You should go back earlier in case you get intercepted by this guy." Jiang Cha added.
"I know. You guys should go back earlier too. I'll go back now."
After testing out the True Martial Palace, Long Chen and Yan Qingchen left and returned to the Evil Dragon Palace. However, he had already planned to come to the True Martial Palace more often in the future to fight against all kinds of opponents. "Among the five great palaces, excluding Li Cang, there are only four disciples who have reached the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm within a thousand years.
"Among the five halls, excluding Li Cang, there are only four disciples under a thousand years old who have reached the eighth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. I am one of them. There is one from the Snow Lotus Hall, her name is Xue Zi. She rarely shows up, so I have never seen her before. However, the disciples of the Snow Lotus Hall are mostly nuns, they stay in seclusion all day long. In addition, there is one from the Dark Nether Hall, his name is Ji Liuyun, he is a man, but he acts like a woman, he is a pervert. I don't like him.
These five people could probably rank in the top five of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
"Five hundred years ago, in the last Hidden Dragon Ranking, those who ranked in the top ten either entered the Martial God Palace or went to other palaces to become Vice Palace Masters or Palace Masters. The only one who remained was Lu Junyue. Back then, he was already ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Therefore, overall, Lu Junyue is slightly stronger. He is known as the strongest person in the three thousand great palaces."
On the way back to the Evil Dragon Palace, Yan Qingchen briefly introduced the young experts of the three thousand great palaces to Long Chen. Long Chen carefully noted them down. Soon, the two of them returned to the Evil Dragon Palace.
"Nice to meet you. I'll be back in a few days," Yan Qingchen said while rubbing the back of his head.
"I'll be back in a few days." Why did he have to be so frequent?
"That's right. My Martial Uncle asked me to protect you. If you're bullied, he'll definitely cripple me. He's the person I'm most afraid of," Yan Qingchen said with lingering fear.
Long Chen knew that Nangong Lie was known as a Martial Arts Fanatic. Naturally …
After chatting for a while, Yan Qingchen left. Long Chen went back to deal with some matters in the Evil Dragon Palace. Soon, it was late at night. Suddenly, an arrow was shot from afar. Long Chen stood up and grabbed the arrow. There was a piece of paper on it. When he opened it, it said, "Qin Feng, Jiang Cha is in my hands. Come to Danxia Mountain immediately and I'll let them go. Otherwise, hehe …"
