"Long Chen, it seems like you guys are unlucky this time. You've encountered bad weather in the Nine Demon Mountain."
Liu Yuan frowned as he looked at the dark and desolate mountain range that was shrouded in dark clouds from afar. His expression was a little worried.
Long Chen looked in the direction of the legendary Nine Demon Mountain and saw black clouds everywhere. Bolts of lightning danced through the clouds. Occasionally, a muffled sound of thunder could be heard, like the low growls of beasts.
In the middle of the clouds, there were nine claw-like peaks that pierced through the clouds. A cold and gloomy aura blew over.
"This is the Nine Demon Mountain? The Nine Demon Mountains?"
Long Chen was speechless.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain. The rain in the Nine Demon Mountain must be majestic and accompanied by crazy lightning. I'm afraid the difficulty of your selection has increased by a lot …"
Long Chen's strength was not as good as the others. In addition to such a harsh environment, Liu Yuan thought that it was going to be a disaster.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry. I'm not the only one who has trouble in such a harsh environment. Maybe I'll be able to adapt to it."
Long Chen said with a smile.
Seeing Long Chen's optimism, Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly.
When they arrived at the Nine Demon Mountain, the Wind Splitting Divine Roc did not dare to move forward. Finally, when they were close to the Life and Death Demon Mountain, it landed on the ground and shrunk its neck, not daring to move.
Long Chen and the other two jumped down from the Wind Splitting Divine Roc's back.
"The Nine Demon Mountain is cold and dark. The Wind Splitting Divine Roc is not used to this kind of environment.
Forget it, it's not far from the Nine Demon Mountain. We'll just walk there.
It's getting dark now. We should reach the Nine Demon Mountain before nightfall. "
The Nine Demons Mountain Villa was the stronghold of the Lingwu Clan in the Nine Demons Mountain. The inner clan of the Lingwu Clan basically chose to hold the inner clan selection in the Nine Demons Mountain. Therefore, they decided to build a stronghold here.
"The inner clan selection is tomorrow. I think it's about time to split up. Long Chen, Lan 'er, let's hurry up!"
After taking care of the Wind Splitting Divine Roc, Liu Yuan brought Long Chen and Liu Lan to the Nine Demons Villa.
The Devil Mountain was a vast mountain range, and the Nine Devil Mountain was the tallest of them all. Right now, Long Chen and the others were already within the boundaries of the Devil Mountain.
In Demon Mountain, the ground and trees were dyed a faint black. Some of the withered trees were in strange shapes, looking a little strange.
Long Chen walked around and found that it was very quiet.
"Don't look down on the dead trees here. The Nine Demons Mountain is filled with dense forests. Basically, if you were to rush forward, the ground would be filled with tree roots. There's basically no place for you to step on. If you were to fight in such a terrain, it would definitely affect you greatly."
Every time he thought of this, Liu Yuan felt very uncertain.
On one hand, he was very appreciative of the young Long Chen. On the other hand, the Qingyang Hall had given Long Chen a lot of training. If Long Chen died young and died here, Liu Yuan would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
"Remember, Long Chen, if there's any danger, don't worry about whether your teammates will be disqualified or not. Just use the signal fireworks. That way, you won't die!"
Liu Yuan's attitude was sincere and serious, so Long Chen could only nod and agree.
On the way to the Nine Demons Villa, Long Chen tilted his head and looked at Liu Lan. Today, she was dressed especially seductively. Her pink skin and devilish curves made people want to go up and take a bite.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't have the slightest bit of worry in his eyes, Liu Lan felt that he was somewhat hopeless. She said coldly, "Don't be so sloppy. It's best if you listen to my father. The inner clan selection cannot be treated as a child's play. Otherwise, if you die, the Qingyang Hall will suffer a loss."
"Just watch and you'll know."
Long Chen's expression was indifferent. He glanced at Liu Lan's figure and said, "You're dressed very differently today. Don't tell me you've already made preparations?"
"What preparations?"
Liu Lan was a little confused. She could see that there was something wrong with the kid's expression. She had been smart since she was young, so she quickly recalled what she had said. As long as Long Chen entered the inner clan, she could let Long Chen do whatever he wanted.
"You want to enter the inner clan and possess me with your current strength?"
Liu Lan sneered in her heart. This kind of Long Chen made her somewhat look down on him.
"Being humble and honest is the most important thing in life. I suddenly feel that you don't have these two qualities.
That's why you'll always be at the bottom. "
Liu Lan said coldly, then walked past Long Chen and walked to the front.
The corner of Long Chen's mouth curled up into a smile.
"Is that so?
But, why should I be humble? "
Liu Yuan didn't really understand what Long Chen and Liu Lan were talking about. However, when he saw that the two of them seemed to be arguing with each other, he silently thought, "Why does Lan 'er seem to be arguing with Long Chen? She's already an adult, why would she say such things out of anger?
Could it be that she really has some feelings for Long Chen? "
Liu Yuan was an experienced person, so he immediately saw the clues.
However, he first buried this matter in his heart. After all, this matter was rather difficult to handle. If they really had feelings for each other, it would naturally be a good thing. However, that would also require Long Chen to come back alive.
With Long Chen's temper, it would be difficult for him to come back alive.
At this moment, they were almost at the Nine Demons Mountain Village.
"The Nine Demons Manor is right in front of us. Both of you, remember, don't say a single word about what happened in front of the Grand Elder's door. Also, don't talk back to him, especially you, Long Chen …"
Liu Yuan looked at Long Chen with a serious expression and said, "Although they have gone too far, after all, they have a high status, and they are very strong. After all, they are at the Late Heavenly Core realm. That's why we have to tolerate them, and we have to obey whatever they say. But, if you keep talking nonsense because you're unhappy, then you deserve to die!"
Hearing Liu Yuan's serious warning, Long Chen could only nod his head.
"That old man?
He's trying to humiliate me. Although Liu Yuan has emphasized it, everything can be changed. "
Pushing aside some bushes, in a valley in front of them, a huge building appeared. The size of this building was a few times bigger than the Green Willow Residence.
There were only about 40 people participating in the inner clan selection, but they had such a huge place to transfer to. This showed how generous the Lingwu family was.
The Nine Demons Manor was completely dark. In order to not be too eye-catching, the main color of this building was black.
Now that the night was approaching, many lanterns had been lit up. The red lanterns in the dark pavilion looked like countless ferocious beasts hiding in the dark, and the lanterns were their eyes.
"Let's go in."
Looking at the current situation, it seemed like everyone who was supposed to be here had arrived.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, then he brought Long Chen and Liu Lan towards the Nine Demons Manor. Not long after, a few warriors in black armors surrounded them.
All of these warriors were at the Earth Core realm, and they were all extraordinary warriors. Furthermore, they all had a strong blood energy coming from their bodies. It seemed like they had killed many people.
"This is the Nine Demons Manor of the Lingwu family in Yuan Ling County. Who are you? Tell me your name, or you will be executed!"
A cold voice came out from these people's mouths.
"I'm Liu Yuan, the founding elder of the Green Clan's Qing Yang Hall. I'm here to lead the disciples of my clan to participate in the inner clan selection!"
Liu Yuan said with a loud voice. He purposely raised his voice in order to attract the attention of the people in the Nine Demons Manor. As long as they were in public, it would be much easier.
"Inner clan selection?
Bullsh * t!
All the people participating in the inner clan selection will be led by the Great Elders! Even if you're a founding elder, who do you think you are?
I think you're here to cause trouble! Brothers, take him down! "
These black armors didn't listen to reason at all. Although Liu Yuan kept explaining, they didn't stop. A total of ten Earth Core warriors attacked in an instant!
"Bastard!"
Liu Yuan squinted his eyes. He was really angry now. In a situation like this, no matter how good a person was, he would still get angry!
Although he was a Heavenly Core warrior, there was a huge difference between the Heavenly Core realm and the Earth Core realm. Even ten Earth Core warriors wouldn't be his match!
The reason why he didn't attack was because if he did, it would be hard to predict what would happen next. There were people from the inner clan in the Nine Demons Manor, and if he didn't handle this well and was framed again, he could easily lose his life.
Right at this moment, Liu Yuan's loud voice was effective.
"Stop!"
Right at this moment, an old but powerful voice sounded out. A few Earth Core warriors were about to attack, but at this moment, they realized that their legs had lost all their strength and fell to the ground.
An old man who was more than two meters tall and was wearing a purple robe appeared at the entrance of the Nine Demons Villa. He forced back the black-armored guards and sized up Liu Yuan. Then, he said in a loud and clear voice, "Sure enough, it's that brat Liu Yuan. I can verify their identities. Let them in."
Hearing the old man's words, the black armors didn't dare say anything else. They just silently backed off and disappeared into the forest.
Looking at the tall old man, Liu Yuan was pleasantly surprised. He said respectfully, "So it's the Great Elder of the Purple Family, Senior Gu Batian!
I never thought that senior would still remember me! "
"I have a good memory. Speaking of which, it's been four to five years since I last saw you. I never thought that you would still be in such a sorry state. Even a small fry like this dares to bully you."
The Great Elder of the Purple Family spoke without hesitation. His voice was loud and clear.
"Senior Gu Batian, please don't laugh at me …"
Liu Yuan blushed with shame. After he finished speaking, he hurriedly introduced the old man to Gu Batian.
"Senior, this is my daughter, Liu Lan. She also participated in the inner clan selection last time, but it's a pity that her skills weren't as good as others. This is my Qingyang Hall's disciple, Long Chen. He's here to participate in the inner clan selection.
You two … "
With Liu Yuan's reminder, Long Chen and Liu Lan looked at each other and hurriedly bowed.
Although this Great Elder of the Purple Family had a rough appearance, he was easy to talk to. If Chu Tianxiong ignored them or even bullied them, they could let Gu Batian be the judge. This was a good thing.
