Everyone was about to leave, but Ling Song suddenly made things difficult for them and made them stop.
They had heard about the grudge between Long Chen and the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Long Chen had even caused Wang Chao's tragic death in front of everyone.
Of course, Wang Chao's death had nothing to do with Ling Song. This time, he was probably here because of Lingxi.
Long Chen walked out from the crowd. He was calm and fearless. The God Slaying Sword in his hand had once killed Lin Mo, an expert who was close to Ling Song's Venerated Swordsman. What was there to be afraid of?
This quiet young man stood calmly in front of Ling Song. He looked straight at him and asked, "Venerated Swordsman of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, what instructions do you have for me?"
Ling Song's sharp gaze sized up Long Chen. He must have used his power. Long Chen felt a prickling pain on his skin, as if countless blades were stabbing into it.
This should be a show of strength from the other party.
"Senior, please speak your mind. Don't use such petty tricks."
Long Chen spoke frankly, neither servile nor overbearing. Everyone was well aware that Ling Song had resorted to underhanded means. When Long Chen pointed it out, Ling Song felt humiliated. He let out a cold snort, which shook Long Chen's mind.
Ling Song tidied up his clothes and said unhurriedly, "I hate and despise people who don't know who they are. If you are a toad, you should lie down. If you are a dog, you should bark. Don't do things that only exist in your dreams. Today, I am here to give you a warning. I have already said this much. With your IQ, you should be able to understand what I mean."
Ling Song was overbearing, and his eyes were filled with disdain.
Long Chen had told himself that he was Lingxi's relative, so he had to be more courteous to him. However, saying such words in front of everyone right now was a little too much.
"Father …" Lingxiao tried to stop him, but Ling Song glared at him. Everyone knew that Ling Song was a stubborn old man. Once he had decided on something, no one could change his mind.
Seeing that Long Chen still hadn't given up, Ling Song mocked, "I know how shameless people like you are. You just want to climb up the tree and become a phoenix, using marriage to increase your capital, right? I, Ling Song, have lived for so many years, how could I not know what you're thinking? Wild brat, let me give you a piece of advice. Putting aside the fact that Xiaoxi is already engaged, with your identity, your status, your background, do you even have anything on you that is worthy of her? Compared to her, you're not even comparable to a stupid pig."
Long Chen had humiliated the Spirit Sword Emperor Palace in the Eternal Hell this time, almost causing them to lose everything. Ling Song said this because he hated Long Chen for ruining the Spirit Sword Emperor Palace's plan. On the other hand, it was because Long Chen was on his old rival Wenren Jingtao's side.
Moreover, he had always doted on Lingxi. How could he have the heart to hand her over to this wild kid who came out of nowhere?
"Have you said enough?"
Ling Song spoke carefreely for a while. The first one who couldn't take it anymore was actually Li Xuanji. She was standing beside Long Chen, trembling all over. Her eyelashes were trembling, and her face was filled with resentment. "This is their own business, it's none of your business. Are your words worthy of your status?"
She felt sorry for Long Chen. She knew Long Chen's pursuit and obsession. If possible, Long Chen couldn't bear to directly confront Lingxi's family. But at this moment, Ling Song's words put Long Chen in a difficult position. Feeling Long Chen's inner struggle and suffering, Li Xuanji couldn't bear it.
"Who are you? What does our business have to do with you?"
Ling Song was furious to be scolded by a little girl. Sword qi burst out from his eyes and unexpectedly stabbed towards Li Xuanji. With his thunderous means, killing Li Xuanji was a trivial matter.
Ling Song's cruel words indeed made Long Chen's heart struggle for a while, but he had already thought it through. At this moment, he stood in front of Li Xuanji and completely withstood Ling Song's sword qi. At this moment, Long Chen slowly raised his head. His whole body was filled with an astonishing and terrifying willpower. This was the spiritual power forged by the Inverse Spirit Skill. Everyone present was shocked by Long Chen's gaze. At this moment, he was no longer a junior, but an equal.
He faced Ling Song, clenched his teeth and said word by word, "Since that's the case, I'll make things clear. I don't think the status you mentioned is important, but since you want to see it, I'll let you see it. It's still early, who can say for sure what the final outcome will be? Even if I can't do it today, I'll kill my way to the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in the future. I'd like to see who has the ability to stop me. If you think I'm bluffing, then so be it. One day, I'll show you who Lingxi belongs to."
He came to the Three Great Emperor Domains for Lingxi. At this critical juncture, how could he be frightened by Ling Song's words?
Ling Song laughed heartily after hearing Huang Xiaolong's words. "Truly a newborn calf isn't afraid of a tiger. Today, I wanted to persuade you to give up and give you a precious treasure, but it seems like there's no need to do so. With your temperament, you won't live for long. The True Martial Emperor Palace actually produced a fool like you, haha …"
After being influenced by Ling Song, the others from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace also laughed.
They thought that their laughter would make Long Chen angry, but they didn't expect Long Chen's face to be indifferent. He directly said, "Precious treasure, hehe. Take it to Dread Dynasty. I hope he can reincarnate in the Eternal Hell."
Swish.
The faces of the people from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace changed. This young man was truly courageous. He even dared to say such provocative words in front of Ling Song.
Ling Song was about to erupt in anger, but Wenren Jingtao didn't say a word. He punched out, forcing everyone from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace back except for Ling Song. He stood in front of Long Chen and roared in a booming voice, "That's enough, Ling Song. Can you stop being so disgusting? With your status and age, how could you go against a junior? Is that the magnanimity of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's people? Also, he is a member of my True Martial Emperor Palace. No matter what he does, I will support him. I believe in him. Just wait and see. In any case, I'm already waiting. Long Chen, don't bother with this bunch of grandsons. The one we're fighting for is their daughter. Come, I'll treat you to a drink when we get back."
Wenren Jingtao waved his hand and the people from the True Martial Emperor Palace left in a carefree manner. The last sentence about fighting for their daughter made Ling Song and the others' faces turn ugly.
"Heh." Ling Song laughed. He didn't expect Wenren Jingtao to make such a joke.
The True Martial Emperor Palace and the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace had been fighting for so many years, but a victor had never been decided.
Moreover, among the new generation of experts, no one from the True Martial Emperor Palace could be a match for Wang Chen.
"When Wang Chen and Little Xi arrive at the North Star City, your people from the True Martial Emperor Palace and you, Long Chen, can only wait to cry. They will arrive within 15 days."
Ling Song's words caused Long Chen to stop in his tracks. He turned back and glanced at Ling Song. He didn't say anything, but the killing intent in his eyes made Ling Song tremble. He felt as though there was a giant beast hiding in this young man's body.
"Let's go."
The people from the two Emperor Palaces left, and the conflict dissipated.
After returning to the True Martial Emperor Palace's city district, Long Chen drank with Wenren Jingtao and the others. Seeing that Long Chen still couldn't let go of his emotions, Wenren Jingtao said, "Go back, there are still a dozen days left. Increase your combat strength. When the time comes, you must bring glory to us. I, your father, can't get used to the sanctimonious grandsons of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace."
Long Chen was very calm. He stood up and bade farewell, "Senior's kindness is this junior's obsession. So what if I lose my life?"
After speaking, he turned around and returned to his personal courtyard. Long Chen immediately entered the cultivation room. After today's events, the pressure in the future was greater than he had imagined. He had no choice but to make early preparations. This was the most exciting and dazzling moment of his life.
"I came here for you, Little Xi."
Before this matter was finished, it was impossible for Long Chen to think about the righteousness of life or other things. He hadn't forgotten the promise he made to that fairy-like girl. If it wasn't for that promise, Long Chen wouldn't have come this far. Moreover, Little Xi was already his woman. They had been together for half a year, and Long Chen had left his mark on her body. His woman, no matter what, had already been protected by him. Whoever wanted to take her away would have to exchange their life for it.
Long Chen was very open-minded. It was just a matter of battle. As long as he had supreme strength, who could control his life? Ling Song or Wang Chen?
Although he didn't feel anything in his heart, Mo Xiaolang and Li Xuanji were very worried when they saw Long Chen alone in the cultivation room, especially Li Xuanji. She was completely stunned today, but there was always a trace of anger in her heart. She knew his promise and pursuit, so she felt special sympathy for him.
"I'll go in and have a chat with him. Miss Li, you'd better use the Goddess Flower to restore your eyes," Mo Xiaolang said to the others.
"Thank you …" Li Xuanji hesitated for a while, but her incomparably beautiful figure still floated away. Schemes were like shadows in the darkness.
In the spacious cultivation room, Long Chen held the dazzling and domineering Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his left hand, and the Slaughter Sword, Devouring Sword, and God Slaying Sword in his right hand. He was wholeheartedly studying the Dual Sword Technique. This was the most basic thing, and it just so happened that it required a long period of tempering and a lot of practice to learn all the techniques. He needed to integrate all the changes of the Dual Sword Technique into his daily battles.
In this short period of time, Long Chen could only control the Dual Sword Technique in the preliminary stage. It would be very helpful to Long Chen to truly master the Dual Sword Technique.
