When Long Chen heard what the woman said, he knew that it must have been those brats who went back and complained about him.
It was Dongfang Tian Ya who stopped him, and he was the one who attacked first. In the end, no matter how unreasonable Long Chen was, Long Chen couldn't be blamed. Besides, Long Chen had only taught Dongfang Tian Ya a lesson.
"Beating me up?"
Long Chen was fearless as he said indifferently, "You think too highly of me. At such a young age, he has already reached the initial Earth Core realm. How could I be his opponent?"
"You still don't want to admit it?"
Looking at Long Chen's indifferent expression, Dongfang Xuanyu became even angrier. If it wasn't for the fact that she still had some scruples, she might have already beaten him up.
Long Chen was neither servile nor overbearing. He looked straight at Dongfang Xuanyu as he slowly said, "I do not wish to speak of this matter. Today, Dongfang Tianya and a few other brats obstructed me in an attempt to embarrass me. I was merely defending myself. As for what nonsense they wish to spout, it has nothing to do with me."
"You still dare to argue?"
The more she looked at Long Chen, the more she hated him. All the other juniors treated her with respect, but Long Chen dared to talk back to her as soon as he arrived at the Dongfang family.
Now, no matter what happened, Dongfang Xuanyu would not let him go.
"You've just arrived at the Dongfang family, and you dare to talk back to me because of Xuan Xiao's love? What will you do in the long run?"
Thinking up to this point, Dongfang Xuanyu's powerful energy locked onto Long Chen. She said word by word, "Long Chen, not only did you beat up my brother today, you also talked back to me. This is too much. I will punish you to kneel in the Ancestral Tomb for ten days and ten nights, right now!"
"Ten days and ten nights?" Long Chen squinted his eyes and stopped talking.
"You're not going?
Are you waiting for me to do it? "Dongfang Xuanyu's voice was filled with coldness.
Long Chen was speechless. All women were like this when they reached a certain age, completely unreasonable.
However, this did not mean that Long Chen would submit because of fear.
This was the way of the world. A kind person would be bullied, and a kind horse would be ridden. If he showed weakness now, he would have to rely on Dongfang Xuanyu in the future.
"Even if you kill me, don't even think about making me move half a step. Right and wrong will be decided. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I kneel?" Long Chen said indifferently.
"You!
You're courting death! "Dongfang Xuanyu was enraged. Just as she was about to attack, a cold snort came from behind her.
"Enough."
Dongfang Xuanyu couldn't be more familiar with this voice. She turned around and saw Dongfang Xuanxiao walking over with a frosty expression.
"You want to stop me?"
When she asked this question, Dongfang Xuanyu was a little uncertain. Dongfang Xuanxiao wasn't her biological brother, but he was extremely powerful and had an eccentric personality.
"Let me tell you, don't wait for me to tell you to scram before you leave," Dongfang Xuanyu said coldly as he walked over to Dongfang Xuanyu.
His words were extremely domineering. Long Chen originally thought that he was tough enough, but compared to Dongfang Xuanxiao, he was just a child's play.
"You!" Dongfang Xuanyu's expression instantly became very interesting.
She was extremely conflicted. If they were to fight, she wouldn't be Dongfang Xuanxiao's match. If they were to bicker, she had already lost. In the end, she could only throw out a sentence and leave in a hurry.
"Xuanxiao, you humiliated me today. I'm going to look for my big brother and have him punish you!"
Dongfang Xuanxiao couldn't be bothered with her. Instead, he looked at Long Chen and said with a stern expression, "Why did that bitch come looking for trouble with you?"
She was clearly his cousin, but he called her a bitch. It could be seen that Dongfang Xuanxiao didn't have a good impression of her.
"A few kids tried to stop me when I went out today, so I beat one of them up. Then, she came looking for me …" Long Chen smiled bitterly.
Dongfang Xuanxiao didn't care about this matter. Instead, he looked at Long Chen and shook his head. "What's going on with the Azure Nethersoul Fruit?
Exchanging a year's worth of rewards for the Azure Nethersoul Fruit, Long Chen, should I call you a fool? "
Long Chen knew that Dongfang Xuanyun would definitely tell him about the Azure Nethersoul Fruit. From Dongfang Xuanxiao's point of view, Long Chen's actions were impulsive and idiotic. Therefore, he asked Long Chen about it as soon as he arrived.
"Foster Father, this thing is extremely important to me. It's more important than any reward. I know what I'm doing."
Dongfang Xuanxiao looked at him for a while before he chose to trust Long Chen in the end.
Thus, he continued, "Alright, then we'll see how the approval goes."
Dongfang Xuanxiao was the one who resolved the crisis for him today, and he chose to trust Long Chen despite his seemingly impulsive actions. This made Long Chen feel a little grateful toward him.
Long Chen had always been a person who repaid kindness with kindness, and he would never treat his own people badly.
Just like now, he was working hard for Xiao Lang, who had once given him the Astral Battle Body while he was improving.
"I wonder if I can go to the Star Demon Prison right now?" Long Chen asked directly.
"I'm here mainly to bring you to the Star Demon Prison. There's still about a month left before the battle for the Blue Dragon Halberd begins. You'll only need to stay in the Star Demon Prison for about half a month."
"Alright."
Long Chen nodded. He was a little excited when he thought about how he was about to go to the legendary Star Demon Prison to find out more about Xiao Lang.
"Let's go." Dongfang Xuanxiao was never sloppy.
There was an entrance to the Sky Martial Realm in the Dongfang Family. Long Chen arrived at the Sky Martial Realm through this entrance, the legendary Heavenly Pill Realm.
There were demonic beasts above the seventh rank of the profound rank here, and the strongest of them could even fight against Dongfang Xuanxiao.
Dongfang Xuanxiao had been to the Star Demon Prison many times, so he was very familiar with the safe route. The two of them didn't encounter any demonic beasts along the way before they arrived at their destination.
"This is the Star Demon Prison?"
Long Chen was stunned. There was a huge pit in front of him that formed a small basin. There was nothing in the basin except bare rocks.
"Look at the center."
Long Chen followed Dongfang Xuanxiao's direction and saw a vortex that looked like a black hole in the center of the basin. The vortex was spinning continuously, and the space around it was a little distorted. He could vaguely see light being swallowed up.
"A world within a world?" Long Chen didn't say anything when he saw the black hole. Lingxi, who was in Lingxi's sword, was pleasantly surprised.
"I didn't think that there would be a world within a world in a Minor Cosmos World like this.
How strange. "
Because Dongfang Xuanxiao was present, Long Chen didn't dare speak to Lingxi. He could only ask Dongfang Xuanxiao about the 'world within a world' after he left.
"Through this black hole, we will arrive at a transfer point. After that transfer point is the Star Demon Prison," Dongfang Xuanxiao said as he approached the black hole.
Before this, Long Chen had been paying more attention to the black hole. It was only when he followed Dongfang Xuanxiao that he saw four people standing guard outside the black hole.
These four people were all wearing heavy armor. The armor was green, red, white, and black.
Long Chen guessed that they were the Blue Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu.
When they saw Dongfang Xuanxiao, the four young men in heavy armor immediately walked up to him. Judging from their appearances, they seemed to be in their twenties, but they were at least at the Heavenly Core realm. If Long Chen was not mistaken, they should be at the Initial Heavenly Core realm.
"These are the Battle Armor Guardians that were personally nurtured by the inner clan. Their strength and talent aren't inferior to the top geniuses of the outer clan," Dongfang Xuanxiao calmly transmitted this information to Long Chen even though they were still quite a distance away.
"The inner family is really strong." Long Chen was shocked, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, the four Combat Armor Guardians walked up to Dongfang Xuanxiao and knelt down on one knee. With a loud and clear voice, they said, "Greetings, Master Xuanxiao!"
"Rise."
Dongfang Xuanxiao went straight to the point. He pointed at Long Chen and said, "This is Long Chen, who passed the inner family's selection. He is now my foster son, and he has come to Star Fiend Prison. Yan Honghai, I'll leave him to you.
Bring him to Star Fiend Prison's Shattered Star Realm and let him cultivate there.
At the same time, tell him some things he needs to pay attention to in Star Fiend Prison. "
Among the four Combat Armor Guardians, the one in green armor quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Master!"
"If that's the case, I'll take my leave now. Long Chen, if you want to leave this place in advance, just tell this big brother Yan, understand?"
Long Chen nodded his head.
Dongfang Xuanxiao gave Yan Honghai some more instructions before leaving with a peace of mind.
At the same time, the four Combat Armor Guardians looked at Long Chen with great interest. Yan Honghai said, "Young master Long Chen, you've just entered the inner family, and you're already here in Star Fiend Prison?"
"From this, it can be seen that Young Master Long Chen is very hardworking," the red-armored youth praised.
"On the path of cultivation, diligence is the foundation. After entering the inner family, I felt even more pressure, so I didn't dare to slack off. Big brothers, I hope you'll give me some pointers in Star Fiend Prison!" Long Chen cupped his hands at them.
Long Chen was already an inner family member, but he didn't have any arrogance. Unlike the other inner family disciples, it was very easy for him to mingle with Yan Honghai and the others. They guarded the Star Fiend Prison day and night, and it was rare for it to be so lively. Therefore, with the addition of Long Chen, the four of them started chatting with Long Chen for a while.
"Alright, everyone, don't waste Young Master Long Chen's time. Young master, come, I'll take you into Star Fiend Prison right now!" Yan Honghai smiled faintly and pointed the way for Long Chen.
The Sky Martial Realm was a Minor Cosmos Realm, and the Star Fiend Prison was within the Sky Martial Realm. As the name implied, it was a world within a world.
However, to Long Chen, there were many wondrous things in this world, so he didn't pay too much attention to them.
"After passing through this black hole, you'll reach the Middle Turning Hall. Young Master Long Chen, when you enter the Star Fiend Prison, you'll feel a little uncomfortable, but don't be afraid. It'll be fine."
Taking care of Long Chen was Dongfang Xuanxiao's mission. Moreover, Yan Honghai liked Long Chen as well, so he explained it to him carefully.
"It's fine. I can naturally endure a little discomfort."
Long Chen chuckled as he followed Yan Honghai toward the black hole. He felt a powerful suction force acting on his body, and he was about to be forcefully pulled in before he even got close.
"Don't move, don't panic." Yan Honghai's eyes transmitted over. At this time, he was already gradually submerged into the black hole.
More accurately, he was submerged.
Long Chen took a deep breath and strode into the Star Fiend Prison.
