The Central Square was located near the center of Polaris City. It wasn't far from the Polaris Battlefield, but it was several times bigger than the Polaris Battlefield.
At this moment, it was noon. The periphery of the entire Central Square was crowded with thousands of people. Most of them were experts at the high level of the God Martial Arts Realm. They had gathered here. The protagonist had not arrived yet, but there was already a hubbub of voices.
There was a huge empty space in the center of the Central Square.
The people of the major powers formed a circle and surrounded this place. There were twelve major powers, twelve regions.
Countless people were talking about one name, and that was Long Chen.
"The Sword Spirit Emperor Palace has set up such a big battle formation for this young man."
"Yes, the young man who dared to talk back to Ling Song in the Polaris Battlefield."
"Everyone knows what he did in the Eternal Hell. He defeated almost all the other teams with the Demon Race's Emperor's Disciple. His strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he even obtained great benefits in the City of Wronged Deaths. After he came out, he fought against the experts of the Ten Thousand Supreme Alliance, killed hundreds of them, and left calmly."
"Such peerless charm. It seems that the True Martial Emperor Palace is going to protect this person. However, this is big trouble. Not only did Long Chen kill the younger brother of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's number one genius, but he is also his rival in love. Now that Wang Chen is coming, he must have come for Long Chen. The show is about to start."
"This is a battle between these two young experts, and also a battle between the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace and the True Martial Emperor Palace."
The entire central square was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing this matter, and there were even people who directly made bets on who would be the final victor of this' Battle of Two Celestial Bodies', who would win fame, shock the world, and at the same time, win the beauty.
Wang Chen was a famous expert with legendary achievements. At the beginning, his talent was far inferior to his younger brother. Eventually, he became a Dragon Warrior and advanced by leaps and bounds, defeating many opponents along the way. It was said that his battle strength had surpassed the ordinary Nirvana Tribulation Realm, and he was the number one genius of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace.
As for Long Chen, he was just a little genius who had popped out of nowhere and wasn't under the tutelage of the True Martial Emperor Palace. Although his performance was shocking, there was still a big gap between him and the top three experts of the Three Regions and Nine Worlds.
As a result, many more people placed their bets on Wang Chen's victory. Although it was said that Long Chen and Lingxi had interacted before, Wang Chen was her fiancé and both of them were from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Lingxi was the daughter of a supreme Sword Master of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. How could he marry his daughter to an outsider?
Long Chen had almost no chance of winning.
In fact, Long Chen didn't even have a chance of winning. The other party had come too fast. It had only been nine years, and he wasn't ready yet. But Lingxi was coming, so he had no choice but to retreat. Thinking about it carefully, it had been two years since they last met.
Hearing the bustling noise, the people of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace frowned. This time, the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace had put on a big show. In order to prevent the True Martial Emperor Palace from causing trouble, they had gathered all the experts of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in the Nine Star Chaos City. At this time, they were all surrounding Ling Song. There were nearly thirty Nirvana Tribulation experts and hundreds of Martial Path experts. Such a huge formation was full of deterrence. Above the group of people, sword light soared into the sky, vaguely forming a sword net.
The power of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace was fully displayed.
Beside Ling Song, who was like a heavenly sword, stood a hunchbacked old woman. Her hair was all white, and her eyes were deep. She was dressed in plain clothes. This was the same Grandma Yan who had taken Lingxi away in the White Poplar Town. Even if Long Chen died, he wouldn't be able to forget her appearance.
After knowing that Lingxi and the others were coming, she had gone ahead to the North Star City to prepare for the arrival of the two most outstanding geniuses of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace.
This time, the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace had put on a show.
"Ling Song, is the Long Chen they are talking about the one who killed the people of the dynasty? The disciple of the True Martial Emperor Palace?" Grandma Yan's expression was indifferent as she asked.
Ling Song didn't think much of it. He said, "That kid is nothing special. He's just lucky, and his strength improved quickly. Compared to a true genius, he's laughable."
Grandma Yan lifted her head and looked at the old man. She asked curiously, "What do they mean by 'Long Chen won the beauty'? Could it be that this Long Chen knows Xi 'er?"
She had long forgotten about Long Chen. This time, Wang Chen had come out to avenge his brother, while Lingxi had come out to relax. Therefore, before Grandma Yan arrived, she didn't know that this Long Chen was related to Lingxi.
"You didn't know?"
Ling Song was stunned. At this time, Lingxiao spoke up, "Grandma Yan, you should be familiar with this Long Chen. When you brought Little Xi back from the Myriad Kingdoms Domain, didn't you know that Little Xi had a good relationship with a young man? Long Chen is that young man. In ten years, he chased her all the way here from the Myriad Kingdoms Domain."
Lingxiao said casually.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yan cried out in surprise. Her expression changed from a calm lake to a raging sea. It had to be said that Lingxiao's words had a huge impact on her.
When Long Chen first appeared, Wang Chao was so scared that he fled.
Everyone knew how impossible it was for a powerless ant who didn't know how to cultivate to reach such a terrifying level in ten years.
Long Chen's strength was enough to kill Wang Chao.
Ten years ago, Wang Chao was at the ninth tier of the Divine Martial Realm. Ten years later, Wang Chao was still at the ninth tier of the Divine Martial Realm.
Ten years ago, Long Chen was at the bottom of the world. He was the kind of person who couldn't even compare to a hair on Wang Chao's head even if he spent his entire life. But today, ten years later, someone actually told Grandma Yan that he had killed Wang Chao. Grandma Yan's first reaction was that she had heard a joke.
But would Lingxiao tell such a joke to her?
Moreover, only she and Wang Chao had met that young man. Lingxiao didn't know anything about him, so how would he know?
Ling Song, who was standing next to her, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's that bastard. I really don't know what kind of luck that bastard had and what kind of inheritance he obtained. He actually managed to kill his way to the Three Great Imperial Domains and even displayed such divine might today. It's really shocking. However, a lowly person is a lowly person. Wang Chen's arrival today will put an end to his thoughts and his life."
Granny Yan was in a state of complete confusion.
She suddenly remembered that when she left, the young man's face was filled with grief and indignation. He had faced her with his frail body and swore to her that he would stand before her in ten years' time.
At that time, Grandma Yan had thought that it was just a joke.
Yes, until today, she had completely forgotten about the person who had saved Lingxi's life. She had asked Wang Chao to erase his memory, but he had actually come today …
Ling Song was not Grandma Yan. He had never seen that young man, so he would never know how terrifying he was today.
"Grandma Yan, you …" Seeing that the old woman was in a daze and trembling, Ling Song felt very strange. "Isn't he just a lucky little thing? Why is he so shocked?"
Grandma Yan's mind was filled with the image of that young man with blood-red eyes. He looked at her with grief and indignation. He was so unwilling and hated her so much. The love between him and Lingxi must have been deep in his bones, but she had deprived him of everything because of her identity, status, and strength. She clearly remembered how he had made up his mind to give up and then swore that he would catch up with her within ten years.
And today was the ninth year.
Grandma Yan had never thought that this child could actually do it.
Long Chen hadn't appeared yet, but Grandma Yan's heart had been crushed by the look in his eyes.
She found it almost difficult to breathe.
"Grandma." Ling Song was even more depressed. "Is this necessary?"
"I'm fine."
Grandma Yan took a deep breath and finally recovered. She looked up and asked, "Where is that Long Chen? Is he here?"
Ling Song laughed. "With that kid's guts, it would be strange if he came here after I set up such a formation in the central square."
Almost all the experts of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace had been mobilized. When Wang Chen and the others arrived, even with the protection of the True Martial Emperor Palace, Long Chen wouldn't be able to escape. Ling Song had already thought of a plan to kill Long Chen. As long as that kid existed, he would feel uncomfortable.
"With his character, it's impossible that he won't come."
Grandma Yan nodded. She understood Long Chen too well. From the time he chose to leave, she understood that he had worked hard for the past nine years, all for this moment. How could he not come?
At this moment, the crowd was in an uproar. After that, they parted, forming a path. An incomparably powerful group of people was heading in the direction of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. Sword light revolved around the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's group. Above this group of people, there was a monstrous Martial Dao aura condensing above their heads. The Martial God had descended. That tyrannical Martial Dao aura was even more ferocious than the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's group.
This group of people strode in the direction of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. The auras of both sides clashed, vaguely forming a collision stance. The members of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace were on high alert, their eyes gleaming with sword light.
Almost everyone from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace ignored the majestic Wenren Jingtao who was walking at the front. Their gazes were focused on the young man behind Wenren Jingtao, who was surrounded by countless experts.
That's right, it was Long Chen.
