"The City of the Wronged." This name was quite strange, as if the people who lived there had died unjustly.
Who would have thought that there would be such a mysterious place in the Eternal Hell?
Long Chen's mind suddenly flashed. He was smart and quickly grasped some information.
"I came here to look for something left behind by the Void Cosmic Dragon. King Chujiang, one of the Ten Great Ghost Kings, followed me, and then the Ghost Clan rioted. Now Long Xing said that the City of the Wronged might have appeared …"
Did that mean that there might be information about the Void Cosmic Dragon in the City of the Wronged?
Of course, this was just Long Chen's little guess. There was no evidence at all. The only possibility was that since the City of the Wronged was so mysterious, the thing left behind by the Void Cosmic Dragon should also be in this mysterious place.
Otherwise, Long Chen really could not figure out where that thing could be. He had originally planned to go to the hells one by one, but now that he had a target, he might be able to find something by following the direction of the ghosts.
Another piece of information was that the mysterious Zhenwu Great Emperor had actually gone to the mysterious City of the Wronged. It was rumored that the Zhenwu Great Emperor had not shown his face for a long time.
At this time, Long Xing saw that he was thinking, so he added, "According to the legend, the Zhenwu Great Emperor was just an ordinary member of the Martial God Palace. His aptitude was not bad, but he was not that outstanding. However, after he entered the City of the Wronged during his training in the Nine-Star Chaos City, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he eventually became the Zhenwu Great Emperor …"
Because of this fact, many people yearned for the City of the Wronged. However, in reality, those who entered the City of the Wronged rarely came back alive. Those who came back alive became experts.
"So that's how it is."
Long Chen was very concerned about the Zhenwu Great Emperor. This meant that if the City of the Wronged had really appeared, then he had to go there.
"Let's go, don't waste time. If we are late, others will beat us to it, and we can only watch as others make great progress."
After saying that, Long Xing sped up and rushed ahead. Long Chen had a plan in mind, so he followed.
… …
Avici Hell, near the Tiewei Mountain.
A squad finally arrived here from the Icy Hell. Looking at the majestic Tiewei Mountain, they revealed a knowing smile. In order to come here, they had climbed mountains and crossed rivers. They had slaughtered countless ghosts along the way.
The leading martial artist was an elegant man with a sage-like demeanor. He had an otherworldly and aloof temperament. He had an imposing appearance, a high nose bridge, and a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars. It was as if there were sword lights bursting out of them.
The person next to him had an arrogant expression on his face. He was dressed in black, and his movements were agile. There was a ferocious aura between his brows, and he had a disdainful look in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings.
Although Tiewei Mountain was right in front of them, it would take them some time to get there.
The five people who had arrived were, of course, the martial artists from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's team. Lingxiao was in the lead while Wang Chao, who had an unstoppable aura, stood beside him. He looked down at the countless ghosts below with a mocking smile on his face.
The five people behind him followed without saying a word.
"The outside world already knows about the commotion here. In a few days, someone will probably come here to investigate."
"Yeah, it looks like we can't continue this competitive game anymore. We've only met a team from the Shadow Devil Realm on our way here. It's not challenging at all."
"The teams from the Nine Realms are all weak. Only the teams from the Desolate Emperor Palace and the True Martial Emperor Palace are slightly capable. Other than Meng Yi, Huang Yu, and Zong Yue, the others are also trash."
"There's also that Mo Xiaolang. He's pretty strong."
The three of them discussed in low voices behind them.
"Shut up."
Wang Chao shouted. His expression was ferocious. Only when the three of them lowered their heads did his expression soften. He was no longer arrogant and despotic.
At the mention of Mo Xiaolang, he thought of Long Chen. Whenever he thought of Long Chen's expression, he felt angry.
"Ants will always be ants. You all deserve to die. Although a miracle has happened and allowed you to reach where you are now, in my eyes, or in my brother's eyes, you're just a pitiful little thing. What's the use of risking your life? Pitiful dog, you're destined to be stepped on by others for the rest of your life."
Wang Chao's expression turned sinister as he thought to himself.
Especially when he thought of how he had been scared stiff on the day Long Chen had appeared. This was a great humiliation. He had to admit that Long Chen's appearance that day was like a bomb exploding beside him. He was completely scared out of his wits. He clearly remembered that he had already smashed Long Chen's body into pieces. There was no way he could have survived that kind of situation. Anyone would have been scared half to death by Long Chen's sudden appearance.
Wang Chao felt extremely uncomfortable after making such a big fool of himself. In his mind, what was Long Chen? Could a beggar wearing normal clothes be compared to a noble?
Sensing Wang Chao's hostility, Lingxiao did not bat an eyelid. He walked in front with Wang Chao and suddenly said, "Wang Chao, what do you think of that Long Chen?"
Wang Chao laughed coldly, his face revealing an incomparable look of disdain, "He's just a lucky dog who got lucky and climbed up the wall. He can't forget the scenery inside the wall. This kind of animal isn't worth mentioning, let's just kill him and be done with it. The marriage between Ling Xi and my brother has long been set, and I think Ling Xi has long forgotten about this fellow. To think that this fellow still thinks he's a love-struck fool, killing his way here. Haha, how disgusting, I'm about to puke."
Lingxiao smiled but did not comment.
After a while, he said, "I think that this young man does have some redeeming qualities. Although he was born into a lowly family, he has the heart to improve himself and is willing to sacrifice so much for Little Xi. He has suffered many hardships and is tenacious. He also has the Prince of the demon race as his brother. I can only say that his future is limitless. In the future, he may become your brother's rival."
Wang Chao spat on the ground in disdain and said, "Don't joke around. Who is my brother? I remember Master once said that in the Three Realms and Nine Realms, Wang Chen is the best in the world and no one can surpass him. How can that dog compare to my brother? Just wait and see. When I meet him, you will hold off the Prince of the demon race for me and I will tear him to pieces in front of you. Let's see if he can miraculously come back alive again."
Lingxiao nodded and said, "Wang Chen's progress is getting faster and faster. He has already transformed into a dragon and his strength has indeed far surpassed mine. However, I think you should be more careful. I don't think that kid is as simple as he looks."
Wang Chao didn't mind it at all and smiled, "Don't boost the morale of others and diminish your own. Don't you think that this feels great? Back then, he escaped from my hands by the skin of his teeth, so I'm sure his hatred for me is the greatest. In these nine years, he must have gnashed his teeth countless times, wanting to kill me. A total of nine years of obsession. If I kill him at this critical juncture, causing his nine years of hard work to go to waste, what do you think?"
Looking at the sinister smile on Wang Chao's face, Lingxiao smiled helplessly and said, "Up to you. But if you lose, I will not help you."
"Why?" Wang Chao asked in confusion.
Lingxiao said decisively, "Before Wang Chen can prove that he is one of a kind, I will not hand Little Xi over to him. Furthermore, there was no love between Little Xi and your brother. A melon that is forcefully picked will not be sweet. I hope that this kid can do something that will broaden my horizons."
Wang Chao laughed and said, "Senior Lingxiao, are you joking with me or are you just joking?"
Lingxiao smiled and said, "Of course I'm joking, no need to take it seriously."
He then shut his mouth and continued forward without any expression on his face.
Wang Chao followed behind and his expression gradually turned sinister. No one could tell what he was thinking. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Senior Lingxiao, have you noticed that Lingxi seems to have changed recently?"
"How has she changed?" Lingxiao asked in response.
"Lonely, cold, completely unlike the person she used to be. She also has a very bad temper and kills people at the drop of a hat. She doesn't even know the difference between good and evil. Every time I see her, her eyes are cold and distant. It's a little scary. Is this still the cute Lingxi?" Wang Chao said with lingering fear.
A trace of worry flashed through Lingxiao's eyes. In reality, he was much more sensitive to this than Wang Chao. However, he concealed it well and said, "You're thinking too much. I don't feel that way at all. Maybe she has some enmity towards you."
Wang Chao came to a sudden realization and said, "So she's doing this on purpose for me to see. I was just wondering why she would become so strange."
"Wang Chao, let me ask you something. Answer me honestly." Lingxiao interrupted him and said sternly.
"What is it?" Wang Chao asked.
"Back in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain, when they were separated, did Little Xi cry? Tell me the truth." Lingxiao's eyes sparkled as he looked at Wang Chao.
"This …" Wang Chao dodged for a while. Needless to say, Lingxiao could roughly guess what was going on.
"These are all illusions. Now that nine years have passed, Lingxi should have long forgotten about this person. He suddenly appeared at this critical juncture. Looks like I have to kill him. Otherwise, if my brother finds out about this person's existence, even if he returns to the True Martial Emperor Palace, my brother will probably kill him. It won't be good if he causes a huge commotion."
Thinking of his brother's temper, Wang Chao felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"Oh …" Lingxiao nodded and said no more.
