Under Dongfang Xuanxiao's attentive gaze, Long Chen stepped on the iron chain leading to the Blue Dragon Star. The further he went, the greater the gravitational force on his body became. Although he was still a distance away from the Blue Dragon Star, Long Chen was already enduring about fifty times the normal gravity.
"It's time to take out the Blue Dragon Halberd."
Long Chen's heart flickered. He took out the Blue Dragon Halberd from his Cosmos Sack and held it in his hand. Under the light blue starlight of the Blue Dragon Star, the surface of the Blue Dragon Halberd glowed with a blue light, as if there was something flowing on it.
At this time, the Blue Dragon Halberd emitted a halo and turned into a transparent hollow sphere, covering Long Chen inside. No one could see this halo, and Long Chen could only feel its existence. Because of this halo, Long Chen suddenly felt that the gravitational force from the Blue Dragon Star had completely disappeared.
"There must be some connection between the Blue Dragon Halberd and the Blue Dragon Star that I don't know about."
Long Chen thought to himself. Holding the Blue Dragon Halberd in his hand, he flew towards the Blue Dragon Star that was already in front of him. The star became bigger and bigger in his eyes. After a quarter of an hour, Long Chen finally landed on this star. Because this star was relatively big, Long Chen could no longer feel the great distance on the ground.
"How is this possible?"
When he really stood on the land of the Blue Dragon Star, Long Chen was stunned. The barrenness of this Blue Dragon Star was beyond his imagination. In the Broken Star Field, there were Broken Stars and yellow soil, but here, there were only gray rocks. Except for these gray rocks, there was nothing else. Long Chen really didn't know how those people who were imprisoned here got out alive.
"There's no time to lose. I'd better find Xiao Lang and Xuan Ke first."
Long Chen knew that time was of the essence and he couldn't afford to waste any more time. He hurriedly grabbed the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd and rushed forward. If it weren't for the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd, Long Chen would have been a meat patty on the ground.
On the Blue Dragon Star, there might be some extremely vicious powerhouses. Long Chen did not dare to show off. He held the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd and walked carefully. Fortunately, with Lingxi's help, everything became a lot simpler. Lingxi was most proficient in spiritual perception. Ever since she had refined the Cyan Nethersoul Fruit, her spiritual perception ability had increased once again. With her around, Long Chen could avoid many dangers and find the person he was looking for.
"Little Xi, how is it?" Long Chen asked as they walked.
"There's no one around here. Under this gravity, most of the people who were imprisoned here are dead. Let's look ahead," Lingxi said.
"En."
Long Chen nodded his head, but he had a worried expression on his face. Mo Xiaolang was a Lower Heavenly Core warrior, and he could barely move on this Blue Dragon Star. It seemed like his chances of survival were slim.
"Chen, have you forgotten that he has the Heavenly Wolf Demon Blade? I don't think he'll die." Lingxi comforted him.
"En, I know." After being comforted by Lingxi, Long Chen felt much more relaxed.
After walking for some more time, Long Chen bumped into two Late Heavenly Core warriors. Both of them were wearing ragged clothes, and it was hard to tell that they were human warriors. They must be extremely vicious, and if they knew that Long Chen had the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd, he would be in big trouble.
Therefore, Long Chen could only carefully avoid them.
"Chen, I feel so sorry for them. They've been trapped in this place for so long, and this torture is really scary. If it was me, I'd rather kill myself."
Lingxi's voice carried a hint of bitterness. She was probably thinking about how she was still trapped in Lingxi's sword, and if it wasn't for Long Chen, she wouldn't have been able to survive.
"Silly girl, don't say anymore. Chen won't let you live like this forever. Soon, you'll be able to live a good life like the other girls." Long Chen felt a pain in his heart when he saw her sad expression.
"That's enough for me. I know you care about me the most, hehe …" The worried expression on Lingxi's face disappeared, and it was replaced by a smile.
Long Chen laughed as well, but he felt a heavy pressure in his heart.
"Chen!"
Lingxi was suddenly surprised. She said excitedly, "Two kilometers to your left, there's a girl sitting with her legs crossed. She's wearing black clothes, and she's about 30 years old. She's very beautiful, and she's at the Late Mortal Core realm. She's similar to what your godfather described. I think she's Xuan Ke."
"It's true!"
Long Chen was filled with surprise. On this Blue Dragon planet, those who could survive were usually at the Late Mortal Core realm. Among all the Late Mortal Core warriors who were imprisoned here, Xuan Ke was the only female warrior at her age.
"Finally, I can help him. With Xuan Xiao's character, if he didn't already have the Blue Dragon halberd, and if he didn't have a true qi seed, he would have come here long ago. He wouldn't have waited for twenty years."
Thinking up to this point, Long Chen felt really excited. Xuan Ke was still alive, and for Dongfang Xuanxiao, this was great news.
Therefore, Long Chen quickly walked towards the direction of the girl. At the same time, he didn't forget to be cautious. Soon, he got closer to the girl. Lying on the gray rock, Long Chen looked at the girl. Unlike the other Late Heavenly Core warriors, although she had been imprisoned here for twenty years, she was still very clean. It was obvious that she had plenty of resources.
This black-clothed woman had already lost her childishness. Although she was close to forty years old, she only looked a bit older than Liu Lan. She looked to be about thirty years old, but her mature charm and alluring charm were unmistakable. Seeing her beautiful appearance, Long Chen was already certain that she was Xuan Ke.
There was no one else around. Long Chen stood up and walked towards Xuan Ke with the Blue Dragon halberd in his hand.
Sensing Long Chen's approach, the girl in black suddenly opened her eyes. In an instant, a black beam shot towards Long Chen, making it hard for him to open his eyes.
"Who is it?"
A cold voice came out from the girl's mouth. She quietly stood up and stared at Long Chen. When she learned about Long Chen's strength and the Blue Dragon halberd in his hand, she was completely stunned.
"I'm Xuan Xiao's godson, and I'm here to bring you out."
In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Long Chen told her his identity and purpose. Indeed, after hearing this, the girl in black, Xuan Ke's body trembled. Her bright eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"He said he's sorry for being late."
This was what Dongfang Xuanxiao had told Long Chen to tell her as soon as possible. Looking at this girl who was so excited that she couldn't even speak, Long Chen had mixed feelings.
Twenty years, twenty years … What kind of concept was this? From ten to thirty years old, this was the most dazzling period of a woman's life. However, because of her impulsive youth, she had wasted her most brilliant youth on this barren land. The only thing that could accompany her every day was this boundless gray rock.
Long Chen knew that Dongfang Xuanxiao had indeed let her down. However, Long Chen also knew that Dongfang Xuanxiao had his own difficulties. He was born in a family with no freedom, and there were Heavenly River Tier powerhouses above him. Therefore, even though he was arrogant, he had never been able to escape from the palms of the four great family patriarchs.
"Xuan … Xuan Xiao …" Xuan Ke bit her lip and wiped away the tears in her eyes. She stared blankly at Long Chen. This young man who had suddenly appeared in front of her was like a beautiful dream that had lasted for twenty years. She didn't even know if this was a dream or reality.
Vitality gradually appeared in those deathly grey eyes. This process was witnessed by Ling Xi, whose heart was filled with bitterness. Long Chen could already sense that she, who was within the Ling Xi Sword, was already secretly weeping. Women were naturally creatures that were easily moved, and Ling Xi was no exception. In the heart of a young girl, this was the age when love began to sprout, and such a tragic love story had an impact on her soul. It was like a huge wave in a storm.
"Let's go." Long Chen realized that he didn't know what to say anymore.
"Alright."
Xuan Ke was also stupefied. She knew that if this was a dream, she would just follow it. Perhaps at the end, she would be able to see the man that she had been yearning for day and night.
"Oh right, I'm here to save a brother. His name is Mo Xiaolang. Do you know where he is?" asked Long Chen.
When Long Chen mentioned Mo Xiaolang, Xuan Ke knew that this wasn't a dream, but reality. To her, Mo Xiaolang was just an insignificant person. Such a person would never appear in her dreams. Since he did, it was against the law.
"This isn't a dream. Wake up. Do you know who Mo Xiaolang is? He's a fourteen year old boy, very handsome." Long Chen knew what she was thinking.
"... I'll take you to him."
Xuan Ke said softly. She didn't know how long it had been since she last spoke. Even now, she found that she wasn't used to talking.
"En, thank you." Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. The mission would be completed very soon.
After following Xuan Ke for a few more kilometers, Long Chen didn't say anything. Truth be told, he didn't know what to say either. In the end, he said, "Do you blame him? Twenty years? He's really too late."
Xuan Ke was silent. After a long time, she said, "I don't know. I hated him for a long time. I even wanted to kill him. But now I want to go with him. I want to go far away from here. I want him to spend the rest of his life making it up to me. I've paid too much this time. He's a bastard."
Long Chen was shocked. She wanted to kill him, but at the same time, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Was this love? He had been wandering on the edge for a long time, so he didn't know what love was. But ever since he met Lingxi, that feeling of absurdity had become stronger and stronger.
They continued to remain silent as they continued forward. Not long after, Ling Xi, who had recovered from her sorrow, said softly, "Big Brother Chen, I can sense the aura of the little wolf, but he seems to be fighting."
