Dongfang Tianxuan was stunned by this strange feeling that she had never felt before.
As for the other members of the Dongfang Family, they did not see that Long Chen had climbed up the cliff with the Claw of Lushan. Moreover, Long Chen moved fast.
Who would have thought that he would do such a shameless thing in front of so many people?
In fact, Long Chen only wanted to punish this arrogant fellow. It was just a spur of the moment. No matter what, she had also teased Yin Mengyao. Today was a rare opportunity, so Long Chen taught her a lesson. It could also be considered as revenge for Yin Mengyao.
"You …" Dongfang Tianxuan pointed at him, her face completely red. For a moment, she actually didn't know how to deal with Long Chen. After being humiliated like this, her heart was filled with killing intent towards Long Chen, but she just couldn't make a move.
Long Chen smiled and turned around, ignoring her. Instead, he looked at the Great Ancestor of the Blue Dragon and said, "I have defeated the two of them. I should be strong enough to enter the ancient ruins."
Everyone looked at the Great Ancestor of the Blue Dragon. Although they were very unwilling, they had made an agreement. Now that Long Chen had won, it seemed that they had no chance to regret it.
The Great Ancestor of the Blue Dragon gritted his teeth and said, "If you can promise me to enter the ancient ruins, you will cooperate with the others to fight for the inheritance."
"Of course. If I don't do my best, I will be a fool." Long Chen smiled.
"Don't forget what you said today. In a month, the Ninth Prince of the Bi Yang Imperial City will come to Yuanling City, and the ancient ruins will be opened."
The Great Ancestor of the Blue Dragon had actually agreed to let Long Chen get the second place of the Dongfang Family.
"Thank you, Great Ancestor."
Long Chen laughed and was about to leave. When he looked back, he saw that Dongfang Tianxuan was still staring at him.
"Could it be that this chick has taken a fancy to me?" Long Chen was startled.
"Long Chen, you will pay for what you did today with your life …" Dongfang Tianxuan said softly.
Only now did Long Chen realize that he had been overthinking things.
He approached Dongfang Tianxuan and asked, "Whether I die or not is a matter of the future. But you have my mark on you now. Without my permission, you can't be with another man. Haha."
"Shameless."
Dongfang Tianxuan knew in her heart that Long Chen was purely toying with her, but she had no strength to resist.
"By the way, do you know where Mengyao is?" This was another question that Long Chen wanted to ask when he came to the Lingwu family.
"She … Mo Xiaolang took her away. She should have returned to the Silver Clan." It was rare for Dongfang Tianxuan to speak honestly.
"Mo Xiaolang is still in the Lingwu Clan." Long Chen was shocked. He thought Mo Xiaolang had escaped.
"Just like you, he also wants to enter the ancient ruins."
… …
After learning about Mo Xiaolang and Yin Mengyao from Dongfang Tianxuan and knowing that Yin Mengyao was fine, Long Chen was no longer worried.
For now, nothing would happen to the Yang Family in Baiyang Town. With Li Xuanji protecting them, the Lingwu family would still protect them. Yin Mengyao should be fine after returning to the Yin Clan, and Dongfang Xuanxiao and Li Xuanji should be able to live happily ever after.
All that was left was the matter of Lingxi.
"Little Xi, I will definitely bring you back to life. Live well."
Long Chen made up his mind. Then, he went in the direction of the Yin Clan. Before he reached the Yin Clan, he saw Mo Xiaolang coming towards him.
"Big Brother, you are really still alive." Mo Xiaolang was extremely excited when he saw Long Chen.
"Previously, I heard that you brought a mysterious woman with you and caused a ruckus in the Black Martial Hall before disappearing. I really didn't dare to believe it. At that time, I saw you fall into the Star Demon Prison with my own eyes. I didn't expect you to survive," Mo Xiaolang's voice was filled with excitement.
"You are a monster. As your big brother, I am even more of a monster. A mere Star Fiend Prison can't kill me." Long Chen laughed.
Now, other than the matter of Lingxi, which was still weighing on his heart, there was a glimmer of hope in everything else.
Seeing that Long Chen was fine and that his strength had increased significantly, Mo Xiaolang was genuinely happy for him. In fact, when Long Chen had taken a huge risk to barge into the Blue Dragon Planet with the Blue Dragon Halberd and rescued him from that godforsaken place, Mo Xiaolang had already treated him as a true brother.
Their meeting in Poplar Town was fate, and now, it was more like they were treating each other with sincerity.
"I just heard that you returned to the Lingwu family, so I immediately went to see you. You went to the Dongfang family, but the Blue Dragon Patriarch didn't make things difficult for you," Mo Xiaolang said worriedly.
"Would he dare?" Long Chen asked.
"He wouldn't dare."
Mo Xiaolang was shocked. When they were in the Star Fiend Prison, a few of them had been killed by the Blue Dragon Patriarch. But now, Long Chen had barged into the Dongfang family alone, and came out unscathed.
"Do you still remember the mysterious girl who followed me to the Xuanwu Palace? That old fool was afraid of her, so of course he wouldn't do anything to me. Besides, I defeated Dongfang Tian Xuan and obtained a spot to enter the ancient ruins. Xiao Lang, I heard you are going there as well," Long Chen asked.
"Dongfang Tian Xuan … I heard she has broken through to the Early Heavenly Core realm. Big brother, you actually defeated a Early Heavenly Core warrior? Also, are you going there as well?" These two things had shocked Mo Xiaolang.
"I've broken through to the Heavenly Core realm," Long Chen explained.
This news shocked even the usually quiet Mo Xiaolang. After a while, he sighed and said, "Looks like you're really stronger than me. In just half a year, I've broken through from the Early Heavenly Core realm to the Late Heavenly Core realm, and you've already caught up with me. Looks like it won't take long before you surpass me."
"Nonsense, in the path of cultivation, the further you go, the more difficult it gets. How can there be someone who can really make rapid progress in a single day?" Long Chen said with an indifferent tone.
Looking at this young man who was taller than him, and who had become more mature, Mo Xiaolang felt like he was in a trance.
When they first met in Baiyang Town, Long Chen was just a good-for-nothing playboy. But now, he had become mature, steady, and decisive. He truly had what it took to be Mo Xiaolang's big brother.
"Xiao Lang, you're my brother now. There's no point in staying in the Lingwu family anymore. One month later, we'll enter the ancient ruins together and fight side by side. I'd like to see who in this Yuan Ling City can be a match for us brothers."
Patting Mo Xiaolang's shoulder and looking at this young man who was looking at him with a passionate gaze, Long Chen suddenly felt a sense of heroism.
"That's right, big brother, we're good brothers." Mo Xiaolang touched the back of his head and said in an unnatural manner.
Getting to know Long Chen and now recognizing each other as brothers, the progress was too fast, but everything was so natural. When Long Chen held the Blue Dragon Halberd and walked to his side, Mo Xiaolang thought that he must fight with him in the future. Only then would it be satisfying.
"Let's go out and get something to eat. Good brothers should have a drink, right?" Long Chen had been fooling around outside since he was young, so he was naturally familiar with the ways of calling each other brothers.
But this time, he was sincere.
Compared to him, Mo Xiaolang was much more shy and listened to everything Long Chen said.
Although his current strength was much more terrifying than Long Chen's.
This was also what made Long Chen feel comfortable. He was the most heaven-defying genius, but he didn't have a domineering temperament. To be honest, Long Chen's smile was a little sinister, while Mo Xiaolang's smile was very clean.
"F * ck, he's smiling so innocently. Why does it feel like I'm kidnapping a child?" Long Chen thought to himself. He was speechless.
On the way out of the Lingwu family, Long Chen asked Mo Xiaolang about Yin Mengyao's situation. He was relieved to know that she was doing well in the Yin Clan. The next thing he needed to do was to cultivate well, obtain the inheritance, and become an Immortal-level Divine Guard.
When he learned that Mo Xiaolang was going to participate in the battle for the Ancient Ruins, Long Chen was a little worried. However, he didn't want to think about it for now.
After leaving the Lingwu City, Long Chen found a random restaurant in the Dongling Region and went in with Mo Xiaolang. The two of them were obviously geniuses from big families, so they were treated with great hospitality. The restaurant's environment was very elegant. Long Chen found a table by the window and sat down with Mo Xiaolang.
To be honest, he and Mo Xiaolang didn't breathe very much, so they needed to chat more to get used to each other.
After ordering some wine and appetizers, Long Chen went into his playboy mode. Even though there were two people, he made it very lively. Mo Xiaolang kept smiling and went along with Long Chen. After some wine and meat, the two of them finally erased the remaining unfamiliarity.
"Oh, right. Xiao Lang, why did you choose to go to the Ancient Ruins?"
After a long time, Long Chen asked about this matter. What they talked about before was just a mess of nonsense.
"You gave us a chance to escape. I wanted to leave, but the Blue Dragon Old Ancestor said that he would give me the Sirius Demonic Blade as long as I promise him one thing." After drinking some wine, Mo Xiaolang was a little drunk. His delicate face was a little red.
"The thing he asked you to do is to fight for the inheritance." Long Chen asked.
"En, if I hadn't reached the Late Heavenly Core realm, he wouldn't have asked me to go. After all, there are rumors that the Morning Light Business League and Beast Soul Palace have both reached the Late Heavenly Core realm, but the Lingwu family doesn't have any. That's why those old men are really worried. To be honest, they were really surprised that the Morning Light Business League and Beast Soul Palace could produce a Late Heavenly Core warrior. In the past, they could at most reach the Early Mortal Core realm, and they were no match for the young generation of the Lingwu family," Mo Xiaolang said.
"Oh, I see."
Long Chen nodded his head. In fact, what he was worried about was that he had to obtain the inheritance and become an Immortal realm Divine Guard. If Mo Xiaolang wanted to fight for the inheritance as well, it would be troublesome. But after hearing what Mo Xiaolang said, Long Chen let out a sigh of relief. This meant that only one of them could obtain the inheritance, and they would have completed the Lingwu family's mission.
"Big brother, do you want to obtain the inheritance?" Mo Xiaolang wasn't an idiot.
"En, it's very important to me."
"Oh, if we are the ones who obtain it, you can have it. After all, I'm stronger than you now," Mo Xiaolang said.
