Seeing Long Chen's hesitation, Wenren Jingtao dropped a bombshell.
He smiled and said, "To be honest, I admire you very much. From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were extraordinary. Your performance in the Eternal Hell, I've already inquired about it. You're definitely a legend. Also, I know about the grievances between you and the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, so there's something I must tell you. After the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's Wang Chao died, the news reached the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. There are two people there, and they're currently on their way to Nine Star Chaos City.
Two people from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Who were they?
The two people who had come because of Wang Chao's death. Long Chen stopped breathing. He looked at Wenren Jingtao anxiously and asked, "Who are these two people?"
Wenren Jingtao didn't beat around the bush. "It's the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's most famous dragon warrior, Wang Chen. The other one is the daughter of one of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's swordmasters. Her name is Lingxi."
Long Chen's body shook violently. He bit his lips and his expression changed again and again. Only he knew what this news meant to him. Could it be that after nine years of waiting and chasing, everything would finally be revealed in a month's time?
Wang Chen and Lingxi were definitely going to the North Star City. If Long Chen went to the Chaotic Divine Kingdom, he wouldn't be able to return in a month's time. He couldn't miss this opportunity to meet Lingxi.
Moreover, he didn't know how troublesome it would be to obtain the Void Universe Dragon's essence blood.
For a prideful man, the moment of a historic challenge had finally arrived. This was the day Long Chen had been waiting for for a long time, but today had arrived ahead of time. This caused his brain to heat up and even become muddle-headed.
This battle was related to Long Chen's dignity. This was a battle of dignity, and it was also the battle he desired the most. Before such a grand ceremony arrived, how could Long Chen have any reason to run away?
Moreover, he hadn't seen Lingxi for a long time. Was she doing well?
At this moment, Long Chen felt as if there were countless ants crawling in his heart.
"Long Chen …" Li Xuanji was the closest person to him. She was also the most meticulous woman. She understood Long Chen's inner struggle.
Although she couldn't see, she could clearly feel his heart. She was sad for him and even shed tears.
At this time, Long Chen suddenly turned around and said to Long Xing, "I'm sorry, I can't go over for the time being. Once I settle things here, I'll definitely go with everyone to the Demon Dragon Hall."
Long Xing's lips moved a few times, but in the end, he sighed and said, "I understand, this is a battle between men. I'll wait for your good news. Brother, this time, you must make me proud. I regard Wang Chen as my mortal enemy, so please help me defeat him."
Long Xing might look carefree on the outside, but he was very meticulous on the inside.
When this matter was related to his obsession and dignity, he wouldn't force it. In fact, he was very straightforward. After bidding farewell to Mo Xiaolang and the others, his purple figure quickly disappeared over the horizon.
Long Chen turned around. Wenren Jingtao was looking at him with incomparable admiration, "You're indeed a man. I like your temperament. Although this old man isn't young anymore, I have to help you with such a hot-blooded matter. As long as you bring glory to my True Martial Emperor Palace, there won't be a problem."
From the fondness in Wenren Jingtao's eyes, it seemed that he really thought highly of this youth.
How interesting would it be to fight for a woman with someone from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace? This was simply the ultimate competition between the younger generations of the True Martial Emperor Palace and the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace.
Although Long Chen didn't say anything, he had already made up his mind. Since the battle of dignity was slowly approaching, what he needed to do was to be a man and stand his ground from afar, waiting for the other party to come. So what if the other party's strength was overwhelming? So what if the other party was unparalleled?
Over the years, many formidable opponents had ultimately died at Long Chen's hands with grievances.
Under the God Slaying Sword, only the souls of the dead existed.
"This youth's murderous aura is too strong …" Wenren Jingtao was still a little shocked. If Long Chen reached his level, he would definitely shake the world, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a peerless god of death.
Of course, at this moment, Long Chen's name had already shaken the world, and he had become the topic of discussion among millions of people. His limelight had even surpassed the illustrious Demon Race Emperor Disciple, Mo Xiaolang.
"Big Brother, let's go. Let's see how strong this so-called number one genius of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace is. No matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger than the Defiant God Sect Leader."
Mo Xiaolang was brimming with confidence.
In fact, according to the rumors, Wang Chen's strength was the same as Long Xing's, only at the Martial Path Great Perfection. If it wasn't for the fact that he had absorbed dragon blood and become a dragon martial artist, his battle strength would have skyrocketed.
Under Wenren Jingtao's lead, the group returned to Polaris City. That was Long Chen's battlefield.
Along the way, no one said a word. They just stayed by Long Chen's side and silently prayed for him.
Long Chen's cold expression made everyone anxious, especially Li Xuanji. At this moment, she felt like she was an extra, standing in an awkward position. She liked his unyielding will and spirit, but it wasn't for her.
The distance from this place to Polaris City was about the same as the distance from Hell's Gate to Polaris City. After about ten days, the group entered the huge Polaris City and approached the inner city.
In the past few days, the major events that had happened in Eternal Hell had spread like wildfire. Long Chen, who had been inconspicuous at first, suddenly rose like the sun in the morning, attracting the attention of countless people and becoming the topic of discussion.
There were only a few rumors. The first was that the Evil Dragon Palace team had won the championship. The second was that they had killed Wang Chao. Furthermore, it was rumored that they were related to Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's Goddess Ling Xi. The third was that they had gone against the 12 Supreme Alliances and killed many people.
Every matter could only be described as earth-shattering.
Polaris City was like a storm. As they walked, the atmosphere was stifling. Everywhere they passed, people were talking about Long Chen.
Fortunately, Wenren Jingtao was there, so no one dared to approach them.
When they were about to return to the inner city, Wenren Jingtao said, "In about three days, at the Polaris City battlefield, the representatives of the 12 Supreme Alliances will hold a Supreme Alliance Conference, mainly to award the champion team and discuss the distribution of the wealth from the changes in Eternal Hell. You are more sensitive, so even if you don't go, I can still give you the three things that belong to you. But if you go, others will be jealous. At the same time, one of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's Sword Venerables, Lingxiao's father, and my old rival, Lingsong, has asked to see you. I ask you, do you dare to go?"
Long Chen didn't even think. "Why not? I'll go."
To be honest, if he didn't go, not many people would be jealous of his private stash of treasures. But if he went, it would definitely provoke some people. It would be more troublesome if he went. There might even be people who would provoke and bully him, such as Lingsong.
He was Lingxiao's father, and also the leader of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in Nine-Star Chaos City.
"I don't think there's a need to go," Li Xuanji said calmly as she stood beside Long Chen, her fair face facing the front.
She actually felt sorry for Long Chen. She knew that if he went, he would definitely be provoked.
Mo Xiaolang saw this and said, "Big Brother, we can just ignore them and do our own thing. There are so many days left. With your talent, it won't be a problem for you to improve further …"
"Don't say anymore. I must go to that place. If anyone wants to cause trouble for me, just come at me," Long Chen said and didn't say anything else.
The others looked at each other helplessly.
This was Long Chen's temperament. It was also what attracted others to him. At this moment, there was nothing that could make him yield. So what if it was the 12 Supreme Alliances? So what if it was Lingsong? He was fearless.
After returning to the North Star City's inner city, Wenren Jingtao quietly arranged a very large courtyard for Long Chen and the others in the True Martial Emperor Palace's district. It was very convenient for Long Chen to cultivate and even spar in this place. This place was made with precious materials and specially built cultivation rooms. With Long Chen's current strength, if he didn't specifically destroy the cultivation rooms, he wouldn't be able to destroy the cultivation rooms with just the shockwaves of battle.
In these three days, Long Chen sorted out the things he had obtained. There were a few immortal essences that could cure Li Xuanji's eyes and let her see again. But for the sake of safety, Long Chen decided to stay in the Northern Star battlefield and let the Goddess Flower take care of him.
That was something that belonged to him.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The forces of the 12 Supreme Alliances were scheming against each other, all for the treasures they had obtained from the City of the Wronged. The forces that had obtained the treasures weren't willing to share, while the forces that hadn't obtained anything racked their brains to get a piece of the pie from the other side.
It was early in the morning, and the seats in the Northern Star battlefield were already filled with people. People from all the forces had arrived. Today was an important day to fight for the treasures. Every force had sent a lot of Nirvana Tribulation warriors. The Martial Emperor Palace had thirty people in the entire Nine-Star Chaos City, and this time, ten of them were present.
The forces of the other nine realms usually had four or five Nirvana Tribulation warriors.
Under the surging undercurrents, after another two hours, basically all the forces had arrived. The twenty teams that had gone to the Eternal Hell had all arrived. Most of them had died in the City of the Wronged. Long Chen, Mo Xiaolang, and the others were all on the Martial Emperor Palace's side. Their combination had already attracted a lot of attention.
… …..
October update plan: I'm too tired these days. My mind is exhausted. I'll write three chapters a day. After a few days, I'll return the six chapters I owe to the brothers.
It's already three chapters. Don't wait for the night.
Also, when I said five million words, I didn't say five million words. Don't worry about the dragon blood ending badly. It'll be a normal ending. I still have half a year to write.
