Granny Yan's gaze was completely fixed on Long Chen, who was being escorted by countless experts. Long Chen was also looking at the old woman. He was much calmer than she had imagined, which was beyond Granny Yan's expectations. She had thought that this young man would be excited, crazy, and eager to show off his glorious achievements.
His eyes were as calm as the sea. She could feel that this young man's heart was filled with unparalleled arrogance, but on the outside, he was unexpectedly calm.
Both sides were getting closer and closer.
Long Chen had come for the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. He was surrounded by countless experts from the True Martial Emperor Palace. He stopped twenty meters away from Grandma Yan and the others.
In order to stand in front of this old man, Long Chen had gone through untold hardships and climbed thousands of mountains and rivers. Originally, he had thought that he would be angry and agitated, but after seeing Wang Chao, his heart had calmed down a lot. This old man, who he had been powerless to resist, wasn't enough to scare him.
Long Chen's eyes never left the old man.
Surrounded by countless powerful experts, he had a powerful and domineering aura. Such a young man caused all those who had been badmouthing him to shut their mouths and look at him with trepidation.
The battle between the True Martial Emperor Palace and the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Wenren Jingtao was a daring person to begin with. At this moment, he was looking at Ling Song with a provocative gaze, as though he wanted to challenge Ling Song to a fight.
Ling Song laughed heartily and spoke first, "I didn't expect Wenren Jingtao of the True Martial Emperor Palace to have so many experts surrounding a young man. What's wrong? Is he the illegitimate son of your True Martial Emperor?"
Wenren Jingtao didn't give in. "So what if he is? It only proves that our True Martial Emperor still exists. What about you? Your Sword Spirit Emperor has already passed away."
Among the three Emperor Palaces, the Desolation Emperor and the True Martial Emperor didn't appear often, but at least they were still around. Only the Sword Spirit Emperor was nowhere to be seen.
Wenren Jingtao's words pierced the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's weak spot, and the situation quickly escalated.
However, Granny Yan didn't seem to hear anything. Her gaze was completely focused on the young man in the crowd. Compared to the Long Chen from back then, the current him was quiet and calm. However, there was an air of arrogance and king-like arrogance about him that caused Granny Yan's heart to tremble. It really was him. When Granny Yan saw him with her own eyes, she knew that there was no longer any doubt.
Long Chen had created a miracle.
The young man who once swore that he would follow in Lingxi's footsteps within ten years had really come. He was so young, yet he possessed such terrifying strength. His growth was simply the rise of a legend.
Although Granny Yan was able to maintain her calm, her heart was trembling. Long Chen's calm gaze was filled with a terrifying power that made her feel a sense of dread.
"Come here, child." Granny Yan calmed herself down and beckoned Long Chen over.
The surroundings were completely silent. Granny Yan's strength was comparable to an ordinary Sword Venerable. What was she going to do?
When she called him child, Long Chen recalled many things.
Long Chen ignored Wenren Jingtao's attempt to stop him and walked straight to Granny Yan. The atmosphere was incomparably heavy. Granny Yan sized up this young man from head to toe with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Long Chen's lips curved into a cold smile. "I'm here. Have you had your fill of shock? If you have anything to say, just say it."
To be honest, it was impossible for him to not hate this old man in his heart.
Such a sharp young man caused Granny Yan to shake her head incessantly. She gradually regained her senses and suppressed the shock that Long Chen had given her. She once again thought about the difference in status between the two of them.
She could already sense a dangerous aura from this young man.
"You've achieved so much in nine years. It's really beyond my expectation. You're good. You've fulfilled your vow. I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Granny Yan's tone gradually became normal. She looked at Long Chen calmly.
What on earth had happened between the two of them?
Everyone was very curious and began to talk about it.
"So what? Just get to the point," Long Chen said calmly with a cold look in his eyes.
What he wanted to hear was not this nonsense.
It was enough for Granny Yan to know these words in her heart.
He smiled and said, "At this moment, shouldn't you be like that old devil Ling Song, advising me to retreat and telling me, a toad, to stop daydreaming?"
That's right, even though she was extremely shocked, the position she was standing in could not be changed no matter what. Seeing that Wang Chen and Lingxi were about to arrive, she still needed to make things clear despite her extreme shock.
Granny Yan suppressed the turbulence in her heart and faced the arrogant young man seriously. She said, "Your ability and potential are unparalleled, but today is not the time for you to be arrogant. I advise you to leave first. Some things have changed a lot, and it's no longer what you think it is."
She said solemnly.
Long Chen burst into laughter, letting everyone see how presumptuous and arrogant he was. He pointed at himself and said word by word with a ferocious look in his eyes, "Do you want to beat me with just a few words? Do you think I spent nine years fighting my way here and narrowly escaped death just to listen to your nonsense?"
Every word of his was filled with a sharp force that shocked Granny Yan. She clearly knew how much tenacity, persistence, and hard work this young man had. If she was still the young girl from ten thousand years ago, she might have been moved by this man's persistence and stubbornness. But she wasn't. Power and status had already seeped into her bones. The more unbridled this young man was, the more she resisted him in her heart.
Granny Yan's eyes turned gloomy, "I don't care what you've done. What's not yours will never be yours. You must know when to give up and when to give up. What's in your life will always be yours, and what's not in your life will never be yours. This doesn't belong to you, and it's not something you can touch. If you insist on it, it will only lead to you losing everything.
Wake up, child. "Long Chen had heard these words many times. He waved his hand and said," Don't talk to me like this. Don't say that your Sword Spirit Emperor Palace is afraid. Even if I, Long Chen, am alone, what can you do to me? You said that I will lose everything, so let me tell you, I don't care about what I have. I only need to show you that when I was still an ant, you could trample on my dignity and life. But today … "
Long Chen narrowed his eyes. He was no longer afraid. He looked at the crowd and smiled, "I will be your nightmare. It's not that I, Long Chen, am vengeful, nor am I trying to prove anything to you. It's because I want to take back what I lost in front of you."
The thing he lost in front of Granny Yan was undoubtedly his dignity.
The dignity of a man.
Granny Yan suddenly felt heartache for this young man. That's right, he, who was still a young man in Baiyang Town, had lost miserably. He was powerless against everything. At that moment, he had lost the most important thing in his life. If he didn't take it back today, he wouldn't rest until he took it back.
Granny Yan knew that this was his obsession. Nothing she said would change his mind.
Everyone in the surroundings was stunned by Long Chen's will. They were speechless. They had a premonition that something shocking would happen today because of this young man. Everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.
Through their questions and answers, everyone roughly understood that Long Chen must have interacted with Lingxi for a period of time. Then, it was Granny Yan who separated them, and Long Chen eventually chased after her.
Everyone couldn't help but admire this young man. A young man without any foundation dared to confront the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. This courage alone was admirable, especially his sincerity and pursuit. One had to admit that among the thousands of young experts in the three Emperor Domains, Long Chen was unique. Only Ling Song laughed heartily as if he had heard a joke.
Ling Song was the only one who laughed heartily as if he had heard a joke. "How touching. Why don't you go put on an opera? What's the point of talking so arrogantly now? When that Wang Chen comes, I'll shut my mouth if you can withstand a single move from him. I really don't know if the brains of the True Martial Emperor Palace's people have been kicked by a donkey. Are you actually planning to fight us for this young man?"
Ling Song's words were a provocation.
Wenren Jingtao and the others erupted their auras and stepped towards the people of the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. The smell of gunpowder was quite dense between both sides. Perhaps they had already started fighting before Wang Chen arrived.
Ling Song's eyes flashed with sword light. He licked his lips and said, "Do you really want to fight? Wenren Jingtao, we've been fighting for so many years without a clear winner. Today, let's make a bet. Do you dare or not?"
Wenren Jingtao spat and said, "Grandson Ling, if you have something to fart about, just spit it out."
Ling Song's face turned ashen. "I've already thought of the bet. Whoever loses has to call the other party grandpa three times every time they meet. How about it? No, if it's your True Martial Emperor Palace's people, they have to call the other party grandpa three times when they meet my Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's people. Do you have the guts to bet with me?"
The crowd was in an uproar. Ling Song was really sinister. He even thought of such a bet. Whoever lost would have no way to survive in Nine Star Chaos City.
They were all people who were willing to bet. The loser would have to call the other party grandpa three times every time they met. That would be worse than death.
"What about the bet?" Wenren Jingtao looked at Ling Song with disdain and said.
"It's very simple, very simple. A battle between the younger generation should be settled by the younger generation. As the seniors, no matter what happens, all we have to do is watch. If anyone interferes in a battle between the younger generation, that person will lose. What, do you think this bet is very simple? As long as no one interferes, no one will lose."
