Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing were the people that the Mad Demon Palace Master had no choice but to swallow his anger. When they were young, they had probably interacted with each other. However, after Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing entered the Martial God Palace, although their strength was about the same now, in terms of true combat prowess, either one of them was stronger than the Mad Demon Palace Master.
Furthermore, in terms of status, the two of them surpassed the Mad Demon Palace Master.
Even Lu Jin and the others had to respect the two of them. Although they were rising stars, their positions in the Martial God Palace were not as high as Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing.
Be it the Punishment Hall or the three young disciples of the Martial God Palace, they could only turn a blind eye to Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing's actions.
The Mad Demon Palace Master swallowed his anger in the end. Being suppressed by the two of them was not a shameful matter. All the Hall Masters present, even the Heavenly God Palace Master, could only swallow their anger.
Furthermore, it was indeed wrong of the Mad Demon Palace Master to attack Long Chen earlier.
Seeing that the Mad Demon Palace Master had become obedient, Nangong Lie smiled coldly.
Han Yunxing looked around and said, "There are rules in the Hidden Dragon Ranking battles. Not everyone's seniors have to stand up for them every time they lose. Then, what fairness is there to speak of? Everyone, reflect on this."
They were the people of the Martial God Palace. Although they did not represent the Martial God Palace to watch the Hidden Dragon Ranking battles, they were still qualified to say this.
Everyone lowered their heads.
Seeing that everyone submitted, the two of them left the sky, disappearing in a short while. Rumor had it that the Drunkard and the Martial Fanatic were very protective of Long Chen. Today, everyone witnessed it for themselves. From now on, no one would dare to underestimate Long Chen.
Lu Junyue and Feng Zhilin had to think about whether they could kill Long Chen or not.
"Don't panic. They can only do things according to the rules. If you can kill him in the Hidden Dragon Battlefield, they will have nothing to say," the Heavenly God Palace Master Lu Chunqiu said indifferently.
Lu Junyue nodded, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Besides, aren't there still the Punishment Hall's Supreme Elders? If that person from the Crazed Demon Hall breaks the rules, the Punishment Hall won't say anything, but if the two of them cause trouble, the Supreme First Elder and the Supreme Second Elder will be watching. They are both existences in the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, and the Second Elder is your uncle's senior brother, so don't worry." Lu Chunqiu said.
With her father's words, Lu Junyue was completely relieved.
At this moment, Feng Zhilin was also on the side. She had a plan in her heart. When Long Chen entered the points battle, if he met Lu Junyue first, then she would fight him. If she fought him first, then it would be the best time for her revenge. Lu Junyue wanted to kill Long Chen, but Feng Zhilin wouldn't. She wanted to make Long Chen suffer a fate worse than death.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Long Chen returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.
The next elimination battle would be a day later. Everyone hurriedly used the remaining time to cultivate and recover, trying to be in a better state tomorrow. No matter what, the more victories they had, the higher their ranking in the Hidden Dragon Rank would be, and the more resources they would get at that time.
Even the position of the Hidden Dragon Ranking would directly affect the distribution of merit points.
The day passed quickly. Among the one hundred and eight people, half of them had been eliminated, leaving only fifty-four people. Among them, three were killed, so they were naturally eliminated. After another round of battles, there would be twenty-seven people left. At that time, the Punishment Hall would revive the five warriors who had been defeated in the first round, making up thirty-two people for the next battle.
If Li Dong hadn't been killed by Long Chen, he would definitely have been among the list.
In the second battle, there was no one controlling it. Long Chen met an ordinary opponent, who launched a strong attack right from the beginning. However, he was easily blown away by Long Chen's Great Chaos Thunder Fist. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he had lost his fighting power. Long Chen easily passed the second round of elimination battles.
After the day's battles, it was still early. The Punishment Hall sorted out the information of the previous battles and announced the five names of the resurrected warriors. There were thirty-two people in total. After two rounds of elimination battles, the top eight would be decided.
The points battle of the top eight would be the battle that people were really looking forward to.
At that time, a huge monument would be erected on the Hidden Dragon Battlefield. Everyone's points would be recorded on the monument. Who would be able to defeat the others and become the most outstanding?
The third round of elimination battles would be held three days later, so everyone had three days to rest. During this time, they could freely leave the Crouching Dragon Mountain. Long Chen, Shentu Hong, and the rest returned to the Evil Dragon Palace. At this time, Long Chen's fame in the Hidden Dragon Ranking battle had already caused the entire Evil Dragon Palace to be excited.
"Long live the Palace Master, long live!"
"Long live is nothing. Invincible, eternal life!"
At this time, Long Chen had already become the faith of the Evil Dragon Palace. It was because of Long Chen that all the disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace felt proud when they went out. Those who had bullied the disciples of the Evil Dragon Palace in the past were now at their beck and call. Even the male disciples were all extremely glorious. The women of the other palaces were changing one after another …
It was all thanks to Long Chen that they could be so glorious today. At the same time, everyone understood that they had to rely on themselves. Therefore, it wasn't just Long Chen who was working hard. Everything in the Evil Dragon Palace was becoming more and more prosperous.
After staying in the Evil Dragon Palace for three days, he had to return to the Crouching Dragon Mountain. He saw Qin Feng once. He felt that he had lost a lot of weight, but his strength had improved.
"If everything goes according to plan, I will be able to settle the matter that I promised you in ten days."
Long Chen said decisively.
In the blink of an eye, half of the Hidden Dragon Ranking had passed. The most famous one was the Evil Dragon Palace Master, Long Chen. At this time, Long Chen's fame in the three thousand palaces had already surpassed Feng Zhilin's. He had reached the same level as Lu Junyue, a veteran genius. At the same time, in everyone's eyes, Long Chen's battle prowess was already at the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
Many people were looking forward to the following battles. They wanted to see how Long Chen's performance would be. They also wanted to see how Lu Junyue, who had been sent into the Extreme Violet Heavenly Fire Formation, would take revenge.
On the last night, while Long Chen was cultivating, Lu Jin and Li Chong actually came to the Evil Dragon Palace. Of course, they came secretly, waiting for Long Chen outside the Evil Dragon Palace. They did not come to pay him a formal visit. If they came secretly like this, they definitely had something to hide.
These two were experts at the peak of the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm. They could not be underestimated. However, Long Chen was not afraid of them. He tidied up and came to the night sky. Looking at these two proud sons of heaven who had studied in the Martial God Palace, Long Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and asked, "Is there something important for the two of you to visit me so late at night?"
Lu Jin and Li Chong exchanged glances. Originally, they were not on good terms. However, because of Long Chen's matter, they became united against a common enemy. Because of the relationship between the Heavenly God Palace and the Crazed Demon Hall, the two of them wished that they could kill Long Chen.
"I can tell that your combat prowess is very strong. Today, I came to tell you something."
As Lu Jin tidied up his clothes, he raised his head and sized up Long Chen. He said, "You are too arrogant and despotic. The Martial God Palace does not like such disciples. I advise you to restrain yourself. Don't say anything that you should not say. Otherwise, you will know the consequences. You will not be able to bear them."
On the other side, Li Chong said coldly, "Aren't you in a rush to join the Martial God Palace? Let me tell you, whether you can enter the Martial God Palace or not is not up to the Martial Fanatic and the Drunkard. We have to report your situation. So, whether you listen to us or not depends on you. Whether you can enter the Martial God Palace depends on you as well."
What Li Chong meant was that if Long Chen did not listen to him, then he could forget about entering the Martial God Palace. They would not report Long Chen's situation.
Long Chen laughed loudly in his heart. However, his expression was very vague. He said, "What exactly do the two of you want me to do? Why do I not understand?"
Lu Jin and Li Chong exchanged glances. Then, Lu Jin took out a small white jade bottle. It looked very ordinary; there was nothing special about it. Lu Jin said, "Don't ask so much. Just drink the thing in this, and I guarantee that you can enter the Martial God Palace."
"Right."
Li Chong guided him patiently. Originally, he thought that Long Chen would be very difficult to deal with. However, when they met face to face, he discovered that Long Chen was actually a little foolish. In the end, he was still young and inexperienced. Li Chong continued, "We will not harm you. We just want you to be more obedient. You know that we are from the Heavenly Deity Hall and the Crazed Demon Hall. Your actions a few days ago did not give us any face. As long as you drink this thing, we will not bicker with you. Otherwise …"
Long Chen understood that the thing in this ordinary bottle was definitely a super poison. It would probably cripple his cultivation. They knew that Long Chen's wish was to enter the Martial God Palace. Hence, they used their authority to threaten Long Chen. Furthermore, there was their strength.
If Long Chen did not agree, he could forget about entering the Martial God Palace. Without a report, who knew what Long Chen would accomplish?
Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing were only the two generals sent by the Martial God Palace to supervise the three thousand palaces. They were not managing the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
The two of them smiled warmly at Long Chen, waiting for Long Chen's reply.
At this moment, Long Chen's expression changed. He could not help but laugh. He said casually, "The two of you, don't try to trick me like you are talking to a child. This is too funny. I think you should just swallow this thing. I, Long Chen, will not accompany the two of you anymore. Goodbye."
Lu Jin and Han Yunxing's expressions changed. They shouted, "Long Chen, do you not want to enter the Martial God Palace?"
Long Chen countered with a question, "Do you think that you can control whether I enter the Martial God Palace or not? Don't try to trick me, and don't be too arrogant. In the eyes of I, Long Chen, the two of you are just trash. It has been five hundred years, yet you have not broken through to the ninth layer of the Divine Martial Realm. If you are not trash, what are you? If it were me, three years would be enough."
