Amidst the raging flames, Long Chen and Liu Lan's gazes met.
When they first met, she was still the high and mighty deacon Liu. Her strength was countless times stronger than Long Chen's, while Long Chen was just a rookie who had just entered the Lingwu family and was played around by Liu Lan.
But today, Long Chen's strength was not only about the same as hers, but his status was also higher than hers.
Looking at this youth whose eyes were filled with calmness under the light of the flames, Liu Lan was a bit absent-minded.
"Things are hard to predict. Things remain the same, but people change. That's probably the logic." Liu Lan bitterly smiled and shook her head.
After what happened tonight and with Lingxi's warning, she had matured quite a bit.
"If you've recovered, then let's go back."
This was not a place to stay for long. After experiencing such a crisis, Long Chen no longer had any thoughts of taking revenge. Moreover, there was still Lingxi watching.
"En." Liu Lan obediently nodded.
Speaking of tonight's matter, if it wasn't for that charming bet, none of this would have happened.
From the rotten temple to the Nine Demon Villa, Long Chen kept thinking about the identity of the man in black.
"Hey, do you know the person who helped Jin Shengen and Chu Yunxi subdue you?"
Liu Lan bitterly smiled and shook her head, "He came too suddenly. Although his cultivation doesn't seem high, I'm no match for him."
Very quickly, they returned to the Nine Demon Villa. However, they didn't know that there were already people waiting for them there.
Upon entering the Nine Demons Mountain Village, Long Chen sensed that something was amiss. Indeed, not long after entering the Nine Demons Mountain Village, Long Chen saw Chu Tianxiong's family, as well as people from the Jin Clan, waiting at the entrance. In a corner, Liu Yuan was waiting anxiously.
"Big brother and the others are back!"
Suddenly, Chu Yunyao excitedly shouted. Then, everyone's eyes looked outside the Nine Demon Villa.
This dark world was filled with torrential rain. At this moment, two people braved the torrential rain and quickly walked over.
Chu Yunxi and Jin Shengen finally returned. Chu Tianxiong and Jin Shengen looked at each other and smiled. However, their smiles quickly froze.
"It's Long Chen and Liu Lan!" Chu Tianxiong's expression changed!
Chu Yunxi and Jin Shengen were missing. They searched for half a day in the Nine Demon Mountain Village, but they couldn't find them. They also searched for half a day in the vicinity, but they couldn't find any trace of them. Long Chen and Liu Lan had also disappeared.
Helpless, they could only wait here.
Within the darkness, two people appeared. Chu Tianxiong and the others originally thought that it was Chu Yunxi and Jin Shengen, but when they got closer, they discovered that it was actually Long Chen and Liu Lan.
When he walked in, he saw everyone looking at him with dark eyes. However, Long Chen wasn't afraid. This was Dongfang Xuanxiao's territory, and no one would dare to do anything to him.
Seeing that Long Chen and Liu Lan had returned, Liu Yuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. His taut heart finally loosened a little. He said anxiously, "Long Chen, Lan 'er, come here quickly!"
As he spoke, he looked at Chu Tianxiong with vigilance.
Since the four of them were missing, everyone would guess that they had gone out to fight. Liu Yuan also had this premonition, so his heart was in his throat.
"Stop!"
Chu Tianxiong shouted coldly and stood in front of Long Chen. At this moment, Chu Tianxiong's face was extremely gloomy, to the point that black blood was about to drip out.
Seeing Chu Tianxiong's sudden rage, everyone thought about it and immediately had a bad premonition.
"Isn't this the Supreme Elder of the Green Tribe?
Why did you call me? "Long Chen calmed down and asked indifferently.
"What did you two go out to do?" Chu Tianxiong said coldly.
Long Chen laughed and said, "You old fart, is your brain rusty?
We're in love with each other, so we went out late at night to find a place to exchange our feelings. Don't tell me that we're so bored that we went out to kill wild boars? "
Long Chen spoke of such an embarrassing matter in such an unbridled manner, and he even called Chu Tianxiong an old fart. Everyone's faces darkened, and they found it difficult to accept this.
Seeing Liu Lan's face turn red and he didn't even try to defend himself, everyone cursed him in their hearts for being shameless.
However, Chu Tianxiong's face was still extremely gloomy. Seeing the hatred in Chu Tianxiong's eyes, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this old fart can really tell that Chu Yunxi has already been killed by me?
After pondering for a long time, he finally thought of something.
The Universe Bag!
Chu Yunxi's Universe Bag was currently in his pocket!
Long Chen knew that the runes in the Universe Bag could be imprinted with a person's mark. Although everyone's vital energy was roughly the same, there were still some unique characteristics. Back then, Mo Xiaolang had given Long Chen his own Universe Bag and asked Long Chen to take it to the Lingwu family to look for him!
And now, based on Chu Tianxiong's expression, it was obvious that Chu Yunxi's Universe Bag had been given by him!
As expected, Chu Tianxiong smirked and said, "Exchange our feelings?
Then let me ask you, Long Chen, what's up with the Universe Bag in your pocket?!
This is the Universe Bag I gave to Yunxi. Why is it in your pocket?! "
Everyone's expression changed when they heard Chu Tianxiong's words.
Chu Yunxi's Universe Bag had appeared in Long Chen's pocket. This meant that Chu Yunxi and Jin Shengen had probably died in Long Chen's hands!
Long Chen calculated thousands and thousands of things, but he just left out the matter of this Universe Bag!
"Indeed, walking by the river will always get one's shoes wet.
I like to kill people for their treasures now, but I have to pay the price! "
No one was perfect, so it was normal for mistakes to occur.
"You mean this Universe Bag?
Of course it's me who picked it up, "Long Chen responded in a timely manner. He was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Although he had been discovered, Long Chen refused to admit it. He wanted to see what this old man could do to him, a new member of the inner clan, under Dongfang Xuanxiao's nose!
Long Chen had been in the Lingwu family for a long time, so he understood the power of the inner clan very well. From the respectful attitude that Chu Tianxiong and the others had toward Dongfang Xuanxiao, he could tell that even the Grand Elder was nothing compared to the inner clan.
In the Dongfang Blue Dragon Family, many people were waiting to see what the two new members of the family were like. If Long Chen died in Chu Tianxiong's hands before he returned, it would be a laughing stock to the Dongfang Family. Would the Dongfang Family allow a laughing stock to exist?
It was impossible, so Chu Tianxiong could not do anything to him.
"Picked up?" Both Chu Tianxiong and Jin Luan had roughly guessed the truth.
At this moment, Jin Luan's eyes emitted a cold light. His powerful aura pressed down on Long Chen's body as he slowly spoke in a bone-chilling voice.
His icy voice slowly spat out, "Long Chen, you killed Jin Shengen and Chu Yunxi, didn't you?!"
Many people's expressions changed when they heard this.
Those relatives of Chu Yunxi and Jin Shengen were even more furious!
For example, Chu Fengqing and Chu Yunyao's eyes were red. If it wasn't for Chu Tianxiong's shock, they would have fought Long Chen to the death!
"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you speak?"
Under this immense pressure, Long Chen had something to rely on. His expression did not change as he said, "I won't waste my breath with you guys. I picked up this Qiankun Bag. As for what the two of them are doing, it's none of my business."
As he spoke, he pulled Liu Lan into his embrace and kissed her on the face, saying, "My Lan 'er and I are going to have fun, why would we care about Chu Yunxi and Jin Sheng' en? But you don't have to worry, I reckon that they are interested in each other and are going to have fun together. Haha, these two brats usually flirt with each other, I already felt that something was wrong. Tonight is a dark and windy night, they finally hooked up?"
"Shut up!"
Long Chen's words were extremely vulgar. At this moment, whether it was the Chu Family or the Jin Family, all of their faces were filled with killing intent!
"Everyone, what a beautiful scene. I still need to fight with Lan 'er for three hundred rounds. Of course you can't ruin our good fortune, right?
Come, come, quickly get out of the way and let your Master Long pass. "
Since he wanted to be arrogant, he had to be completely arrogant.
This was Long Chen's style.
The smile on his face made the eyes of every member of the Chu Family and Jin Family turn red. However, because of Long Chen's current identity, they did not dare to risk the lives of their entire clansmen to make a move!
Especially since Chu Tianxiong and Jin Luan understood Xuan Xiao's temper the best. If Long Chen was killed here, their families would probably be annihilated by Xuan Xiao!
Even if they joined hands, they did not have the confidence to defeat Dongfang Xuanxiao. This was the biggest worry in their hearts!
On the other hand, on Long Chen's side, Long Chen had a relaxed expression on his face, while Liu Lan's face had turned red from his words. She wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in!
Last time, she had played a trick on Long Chen and forced Long Chen into such a desperate situation. Long Chen was going to punish her tonight, but he had saved her in the end. Therefore, the words that Long Chen had said were also a form of punishment for her.
Liu Yuan stared blankly at Long Chen and Liu Lan. His expression was so complicated that it could explode.
Any father would have the same bitter expression if they were asked to be Liu Yuan's father.
"Long Chen, I'm going to ask you one last time.
Where are Yunxi and Sheng En? "
Chu Tianxiong stood in front of Long Chen and forcefully suppressed the urge to make a move. He tried his best to remain calm as he spoke.
Long Chen's eyes narrowed as he said, "I already said that I don't know."
"You have the guts to kill them, but you don't have the guts to admit it?" Jin Luan also surrounded them.
Long Chen was about to reply when Dongfang Tianyu appeared. His expression changed when he saw Long Chen from afar, but he concealed it very well.
"Elder Chu, Elder Jin, why are you two gathered here?" Dongfang Tianyu asked.
Chu Tianxiong's eyes lit up when he saw Dongfang Tianyu. He looked at Long Chen and said word by word, "Young Master Tianyu, Yunxi and Sheng En, as well as Long Chen and Liu Lan, went missing tonight. The two of them returned with Yunxi's Universe Bag. I dare say that Long Chen killed Yunxi and Sheng En and stole their treasures. How cruel and unscrupulous!"
Dongfang Tianyu's expression turned cold as he looked at Long Chen and asked, "Were you the one who killed them?"
"No," Long Chen replied indifferently.
"You've only just entered the inner clan and you're already so arrogant that you have no regard for the law?"
Dongfang Tianyu's voice turned cold. "Long Chen, although your talent isn't bad, your character is just too low. You actually used your status as an inner clan member to willfully slaughter the innocent. Furthermore, you're the descendant of two Grand Elders. How can you be worthy of your status as an inner clan member when you're so unbearably stubborn?
Therefore, I bestow upon you the death penalty! "
