He was a hot-blooded man, but that didn't mean he would be fooled. Even if Wang Chen humiliated him verbally, he wouldn't be able to force Long Chen to fight with him.
At the behest of the Lingwu Sword Master, Wang Chen mocked and ridiculed Long Chen, belittling him to the point that he was worthless. However, Long Chen turned a deaf ear to him. He cupped Lingxi's pretty face with both hands and asked about her well-being, telling her what to do after they returned.
"Just wait for me. When I'm strong enough, I'll go there immediately."
"Yes, I know. I'll wait for you. My body and mind are all yours. No one can take it away from me," Lingxi said firmly.
It was another separation. She felt bitter in her heart, but she could only bear it silently.
The more Wang Chen spoke, the more energized he became. He was familiar with Long Chen's personality and knew that he would never back down when it came to matters of dignity, which he cared about the most. However, he did not expect that Long Chen would only care about talking to Ling Xi and actually ignore what he said.
How could he ignore such a provocation?
"I've said so much, but you're still indifferent. It seems that you've lost all your pride in front of fear. It's a joke to say that you'll go to my Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in a year's time. I, Wang Chen, don't believe it if you dare to come," Wang Chen said the last sentence calmly.
"Are you done?" Long Chen didn't back down and said, "If you're done, then get lost."
Wang Chen's expression did not change as he said, "Indeed, a cowardly and incompetent person is no longer qualified to fight against me. After today, your performance of not daring to fight today will make the entire Three Regions and Nine Realms laugh at you."
Yes, if Long Chen didn't dare to fight in front of a woman, people would think that Long Chen had lost. After Wang Chen broke through to the Nirvana Tribulation Realm, he didn't have the courage to do so anymore.
People would laugh at him.
However, Long Chen didn't care at all. What he cared about was not today. Today was just a separation. Wang Chen was indeed strong and outrageous, but so what? The final battle was a year later.
"Don't talk to me about a year later. If you dare to come to my Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in a year's time, I, Wang Chen, will write my name backwards." Wang Chen's face was filled with disdain as he insulted Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled faintly. He had used these tricks countless times to provoke Wang Chen, so how could he fall for Wang Chen's tricks today? He knew he was no match for Wang Chen now, but one year later …
"Little Xi, go back."
Long Chen was decisive. He hugged Ling Xi for a while, not allowing her to be wishy-washy. He reached out and pushed Ling Xi toward the Lingwu Swordmaster. Ling Xi's tears fell like rain, and her face was like a pear blossom. However, when she saw the smile on Long Chen's face, which was filled with confidence, she wiped away her tears, and her eyes were also filled with the light of determination.
The Lingwu Sword Master controlled Lingxi and called Wang Chen back. Today's matter was considered completed, but it was a pity that he couldn't get rid of this brat.
"I heard you say that you want to come to my Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in a year's time and take Lingxi away." The Lingwu Sword Master asked indifferently.
Long Chen nodded without hesitation.
This was an audacious statement.
Wang Chen, who was at the side, sneered, "You're just bragging. You don't even have the guts to fight me today, but you dare to come to my Sword Spirit Emperor Palace in a year's time?"
The Lingwu Sword Master was also disdainful, but he had his own methods. He said loudly, "Let me inform everyone that one year later, my daughter, Lingxi, and my disciple, Wang Chen, will be holding their wedding ceremony. At that time, there will be an invitation to everyone, especially you, Long Chen. Wait for my daughter's wedding invitation, I hope you can be there."
Long Chen clenched his fists tightly as his chest burned with rage. Ling Xi was also frightened. She wanted to resist, but the Lingwu Swordmaster didn't give her a chance to speak at all. Wang Chen, who was beside her, was overjoyed. He said emotionally, "Thank you, Master. Your disciple will definitely treat Little Xi well. I'll treat you a thousand times better than someone else."
"Mn, not bad."
The Spirit Martial Sword Sovereign nodded, looking at the enraged Long Chen. As expected, he had angered Long Chen. He was very satisfied with his decision. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "Remember, when the invitation arrives at the True Martial Emperor Palace, you must come. Our Sword Spirit Emperor Palace welcomes you."
After speaking, the four sword masters brought Lingxi and Wang Chen away under Long Chen's burning gaze.
High up in the sky, Ling Xi wanted to turn back to look at that isolated youth countless times, but the Lingwu Sword Master controlled her. She cried a few times, but when she thought of Long Chen's words to make her stronger, she felt warmth in her heart, but her expression became colder and colder.
"Xi 'er, I didn't mean to say so many unpleasant words today. I hope you don't blame me." Wang Chen apologized.
Lingxi didn't reply.
Wang Chen clenched his teeth and said, "Even if I marry you, it's only to stabilize your position in the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. We're not truly husband and wife. You're still young, so you're easily deceived and deceived. Big Brother Wang Chen has his own difficulties, so I hope you can forgive me. I still have a long life ahead of me, and I'll definitely make you acknowledge me through my own efforts. I'm not inferior to Long Chen in any aspect."
Unfortunately, Lingxi looked straight ahead and her eyes didn't change at all. It was as if she didn't hear what he said.
… …..
After they left the Primal Chaos Star City, Long Chen was still standing there with his fists clenched.
"Brother, they're gone."
Even a sloppy person like Long Xing was touched by them today. He stood beside Long Chen and said helplessly.
This time, Long Chen was really alone.
Even Kitten had left.
As for Kitten, Long Chen had thought it through. As long as he could come back, they would still be brothers. Everyone had times when they were muddle-headed. This wasn't a matter of betrayal. Kitten's purpose in living was to obtain the Void Universe Dragon's blood essence. If he gave up because of his relationship with Long Chen, it would be really strange.
Long Chen was open-minded and wasn't a narrow-minded person.
However, when he was alone, his heart was still very empty.
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly turned around and said to the high and mighty Demon Dragon Palace Lord, "Thank you for your protection. If it wasn't for Palace Lord, this junior wouldn't be able to keep his life. Thank you for saving my life."
The Demon Dragon Palace Lord chuckled and stroked his long beard. He was like a kind elder. "It's nothing. It's not worth mentioning. However, there's one thing that you must understand before you leave."
Long Chen had expected this. Even if Long Xing didn't care, it didn't mean that this old fox wouldn't. As expected, the other party said, "Can you tell me what you took from the Primal Chaos Star City?"
Hearing this, Long Xing said angrily, "Palace Lord."
"Shut up."
The Demon Dragon Palace Lord snorted and made Long Xing shut his mouth. He then looked at Long Chen and said, "I've always been fair and just. I let you go to my Primal Chaos Divine Kingdom and protected your life because I admire you. I don't have many requests. You took something from me. I just want to know what it is."
Speaking of which, the Demon Dragon Palace Lord wasn't going overboard.
However, Long Chen couldn't tell him about the Void Universe Dragon's blood essence.
"Do you really want to know?" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone looked up in shock. Above the clouds, there was an illusory, transparent beast lying on the ground and said in a mocking tone.
Long Chen's heart shook.
That's right, it was Kitten. At this time, he should already know that what he took wasn't the Void Universe Dragon's blood essence. He knew that he was tricked and wanted revenge. Long Chen panicked. If Kitten told him about the Void Universe Dragon's blood essence, he would be finished. He, Long Chen, would definitely die without a burial place. There would be no place for him to hide in the Three Regions and Nine Worlds.
The Demon Dragon Palace Master was astonished in his heart. That was because he did not know exactly what was above the clouds.
The Reincarnation Divine Beast was an ancient divine beast. Basically, no one knew about it.
"May I ask what it is?" The Demon Dragon Palace Lord calmed himself down and said coldly.
Long Chen was extremely nervous. He stared at Kitten. At this time, Kitten looked at him. Unable to meet Long Chen's sharp gaze, he hurriedly looked away. He was like a child who had made a mistake and didn't dare to look at Long Chen.
Just as Long Chen was at his most nervous, Kitten laughed loudly. His laughter shook the heavens and earth. Everyone felt their souls tremble.
Then, Kitten said without hesitation, "He didn't get anything. He just fell into my trap. I let him out. Haha …"
After saying that, his figure gradually disappeared into the clouds. The Demon Dragon Palace Lord soared into the sky. However, he was shocked to find that the strange beast had disappeared.
For a moment, it was incomparably quiet.
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Kitten didn't want millions of people to chase after Long Chen. Instead, he cleverly helped Long Chen out of trouble. This explanation was completely reasonable because of Kitten's mysteriousness.
"Long Chen, what's going on?" The Demon Dragon Palace Lord asked in shock.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I thought it was a treasure map. I didn't expect it to be released …"
Long Xing also remembered that when he was guarding outside, he had indeed seen a transparent gigantic beast coming out from inside. He believed it in his heart and immediately said, "I also seem to have seen this gigantic beast coming out from that cave. I didn't expect it to be released by you."
Realization dawned on him.
The Demon Dragon Palace Lord pondered for a while. His gaze swept across Long Chen and Long Xing a few times. Because of the mysteriousness of the Reincarnation Divine Beast, the Demon Dragon Palace Lord chose to believe it in the end.
Long Chen couldn't stay in the Demon Dragon Palace any longer.
