From their proud expressions, it seemed like they wouldn't leave until they succeeded today.
"Damn it."
Everyone from the Battle Dragon Clan clenched their fists. They were still young and full of vigor. They couldn't bear to be humiliated. Hence, when the other party tried to take their sisters away, they couldn't bear it anymore. However, they were still afraid. They were afraid that the Battle Dragon Clan would be disbanded. They were afraid of the power behind these youths.
Their eyes were bloodshot and their veins were popping out. Their breathing was heavy as they stared at each other. They couldn't let the other party succeed today. Hence, they protected the girls in secret. The thousand of them had long established a strong bond. They would live and die together.
This was also what Long Chen liked about them.
Their hearts were pure and flawless. They were a rarely seen united group. Although there were some small conflicts between them, it didn't affect their brotherhood.
At this moment, they were also facing the enemy together. They didn't retreat at all with their thin shoulders. Their eyes were filled with tenacity and unyielding.
Luo Yan pushed away the two youths in front of her and glared at them angrily. "Don't even think about provoking us. If you're men, then let's have a fair fight. Don't try to play tricks in front of me and make us look down on you. You're all bastards. If you have the guts, then fight me."
"Luo Yan, you're crazy." The youths didn't expect their resistance to be so fierce.
In the past, they only threatened the Battle Dragon Clan and made them feign defeat in the battle of potential. But this time, they directly attacked Luo Yan and the other girls.
"Do you believe that we'll find someone to kill all of you right now?"
They shouted arrogantly. As for fighting, they didn't dare. After all, they only had a dozen people.
"Master." Liang Teng stood beside him and asked Long Chen.
Long Chen thought that he was about to leave and didn't know if he could make it back in time. Hence, he said, "I'll chase them away. Don't do anything."
Long Chen could let them vent their anger and let them fight. However, he was afraid that they would take revenge when he left. At this moment, he said, "Be quiet. Everyone, stand at the back."
As soon as he said this, everyone quieted down. They pushed themselves behind Long Chen and looked at Long Chen's back with excitement.
"Who are you?"
The young man asked impatiently.
Long Chen stood in front of them. To be honest, it was a waste for him to deal with these little fellows. He smiled and said, "Who I am is not important. They call me teacher. Is this identity enough to talk to you?"
"You." They burst out laughing. Long Chen looked too young. It was simply a joke.
These fellows wouldn't listen unless they were taught a lesson. Long Chen didn't say anything. He appeared in front of a young man and grabbed him by the neck, making it impossible for him to move. He then slapped the young man's face, and a few teeth flew out along with blood. The young man let out a blood-curdling scream as half of his face turned red and swelled up.
"It's me. What's wrong?"
Long Chen said expressionlessly.
This slap instantly caused the blood of the Battle Dragon race to boil. They were on the verge of tears. They had been oppressed for so many years, but they had never felt so relieved before.
"You are courting death."
The young man who was being choked roared. Just as he was about to attack, Long Chen's slap broke through his defense and landed on the other side of his face. Instantly, his face turned into a pig's head. Long Chen couldn't help but slap a few more times. He lowered his head and saw that the young man was already on the verge of death. His face was so round and huge that he didn't look like a human anymore.
Only then did the other young men react. They were so frightened that their legs trembled.
Long Chen tossed the young man in his hand to the ground and moved. In the blink of an eye, slapping sounds rang out. When it was over, everyone took a closer look. There were more than ten young men squatting on the ground, crying and covering their faces. All of their teeth flew out and their faces were swollen. It was a tragic sight.
The Battle Dragon race instantly cheered. This was much better than doing it themselves.
"You … you actually dared to hit us … you!"
The ten young men huddled together and looked at Long Chen in fear.
"No matter who you are, you are dead for sure this time."
Even now, they hadn't forgotten their arrogance and intimidation.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know my identity? If I say it, you will be scared to death. In any case, this time you are dead for sure. Everyone here will be out of luck, they will all be killed by me."
The young man who had been slapped the most ruthlessly by Long Chen said.
Long Chen grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. The young man was so scared that he wet his pants. Not only did the others not save him, but they also scattered in confusion.
"Do you know who I am?"
Long Chen didn't touch him. He moved closer to the young man and said word by word, "My name is … Long Chen. Perhaps you are not familiar with me. You are so well-informed. You should know who killed Meng Qingqiu at the gates of Dragon City ten days ago."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
For a moment, the young men looked at Long Chen with astonishment. It could be seen that they knew the name Long Chen, so their minds were blank at this moment.
Long Chen threw him to the ground. The young man was so scared that he was trembling all over. He rolled and crawled back to gather with the other young men and looked at Long Chen in fear.
Long Chen walked step by step until he was in front of them. Finally, he said, "Alright, I won't kill you. But you must understand that from today onwards, this is my territory. They are people under my protection. Among you, or your fathers, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on their heads, you must first think about whether you have Meng Qingqiu's strength or a father like Emperor Tianmu. If you don't, I advise you to be obedient. Otherwise, I don't mind cutting you into eight pieces."
The more they spoke, the more terrified they became. They were almost crying for their parents. Although Long Chen's appearance wasn't scary, his reputation as the son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor was too resounding. The young men had heard too many people talking about him, so they were naturally scared out of their wits.
"Scram, don't appear at my place again." Long Chen waved his hand.
The young men had long since forgotten their previous threats to Long Chen. They scrambled and crawled out of the place in a hurry. They were in an extremely sorry state, completely different from the arrogance they had when they had first arrived.
Only when Long Chen turned around did the young men of the Battle Dragon Clan cheer like never before. Their faces were covered with tears of happiness. Their eyes flickered with recognition, gratitude, and fanaticism towards Long Chen. At this moment, their hearts were surging. There were only two thoughts in their minds. One was to follow Long Chen forever. The second was to become an expert like Long Chen one day.
Just the name alone was enough to make people tremble in fear.
Long Chen saw the fire in their eyes. Although it was still very weak, they were all people like Long Chen. One day, this kind of fire would erupt, a single spark setting a prairie ablaze.
Their hot-bloodedness and purity made Long Chen like them even more.
When night fell, they played and celebrated. Long Chen even forgot about his own cultivation. It was very relaxing to be with them. Because their ages weren't too far apart, it was easier for Long Chen to get along with them.
In the next few days, Long Chen basically didn't cultivate. Instead, he guided them so that they could have a better performance in the battle of potentials and raise their ranking. This wasn't important to Long Chen, but to the Battle Dragon Clan, ranking was glory and glory. It was their common pursuit.
Until one day, when the Slaughter Dragon City's team for the Sovereign Grand Ceremony set off.
When the Qian Snow Empress arrived and saw that Long Chen had taken good care of the War Dragon Palace, she was very surprised. She said, "You handled it so well."
Long Chen smiled faintly and said, "As long as we communicate with them, there is nothing we can't do. They are not troublemakers. They are all future heroes."
"Okay …" In fact, the Qian Snow Empress basically didn't manage the Young Dragon Palace. It was just a title. In addition, she had been working hard to break through to the later stage of the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Realm for the past one thousand years, so she was even busier.
"Let's go. We will gather outside the Slaughter Dragon City," said the Qian Snow Empress.
"You are going too?" asked Long Chen.
The Qian Snow Empress nodded and said, "Yes. The Blood Dragon Emperor, the Wind Moon Emperor, the Sword River Emperor, and the others, except for the Sky Curtain Emperor who is guarding the Heaven Blood Hell and the Slaughter Dragon Graveyard, will basically attend the Sovereign Grand Ceremony. Many of the top ten hidden experts in the Slaughter Dragon City will also be guarding in secret. I'm afraid even the three Dragon Emperors will pay attention to this place. After all, the Five Dragon Balls are very important."
It seemed that the Sovereign Grand Ceremony was grander than Long Chen had imagined.
"Okay. Let's go."
He and the Qian Snow Empress bid farewell to the War Dragon Clan and left the Young Dragon Palace, heading for the gate of the Slaughter Dragon City. The War Dragon Clan gathered at the gate and watched Long Chen leave.
They were all a bit reluctant.
During this period of time, Long Chen had brought them earth-shattering changes.
"I wonder if he will be in danger facing so many experts over there …" Luo Yan murmured.
Pang Hong said, "Don't worry. I absolutely believe that Master will be fine. In my eyes, he is a miracle."
Everyone agreed with what he said.
When Long Chen was not around, Liang Teng made the decision.
When they could no longer see Long Chen, Liang Teng said, "Go back and cultivate. This time, the War Dragon Clan will make it to the top ten. We will surprise those who look down on us. We will show them our true strength."
"We are not cowards."
"We can't embarrass Master. Whoever loses will come back and eat sh * t."
"That's right. The loser will eat sh * t. Haha."
They went back full of enthusiasm and started cultivating in full swing.
Meanwhile, Long Chen had arrived outside the Slaughter Dragon City with the Qian Snow Empress. The whole team was actually ready. As for the news that Long Chen would replace one of them to attend the Sovereign Grand Ceremony, it had already spread.
