If he continued to stay here, it would mean that he would continue to be humiliated.
In the past, he had been humiliated because of the person he loved, but it was different now. His lover had gotten better, so he could escape and stay far away from this place. However, he didn't say that. He knew that the man in front of him, who had helped him fulfill his long-cherished wish, needed his help.
"You really won't leave? If you stay here with me, something dangerous might happen and cause all your previous efforts to go to waste." Long Chen tried to scare him.
Chen Xingyao smiled faintly and said, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. I have been here for thousands of years, so a few more days won't make much of a difference. After you complete your mission, I will return with you. Before that, I must help you and do what I should do. I will do everything I can."
He was a person who would not change his mind once he had decided on something.
"I don't know how much help you've given me this time. At this moment, I'm completely willing to do anything for you. It's just that there's no point in saying such pretentious words. If I stay here for too long, others might suspect me. I'd better go back first."
"Alright, I didn't succeed this time. Let's think of another way and contact each other later."
Chen Xingyao bid farewell to Long Chen and left.
"Helping others and fulfilling their wish for thousands of years is a wonderful feeling."
Long Chen had a vague feeling that he was the center. Chen Xingyao was transmitting a mysterious power to him to strengthen his mind, especially after he had saved the woman he loved.
At the same time, he was connected to the billions of lives in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent in the form of threads, vaguely receiving everyone's power.
"This power should be called faith."
In the next few days, Long Chen was at his wits' end. Chen Xingyao couldn't help him for the time being. The Sea Sacrifice Ceremony would begin in a few days. After it ended, Long Chen wouldn't have an excuse to stay in this place.
He was prepared to use the Time Dragon to sneak in once. This was a last resort. There were still experts in the Sea Race, such as the six Sea Emperors and Liu Ji. If he was discovered in the Forbidden Realm, the problem would be serious. Without Chen Xingyao's cover, he would have many scruples if he acted alone.
However, just as he was about to set off, an uninvited guest came to his residence.
This person was Liu Ji, who was referred to as the Devil Blue Empress. She was wearing a thin veil, and she had an innocent appearance and a seductive gaze. Her curvaceous figure was extremely well-proportioned, and her entire body was perfect. In particular, there was not the slightest bit of excess flesh on her slender waist. Her skin was smooth and tender, and one would be tempted to take a bite out of it.
"What is she doing here?"
Long Chen and Lingxi were sitting in the courtyard.
"Little brother Long Chen, sister-in-law, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Liu Ji's previous solemn expression was replaced by a gorgeous smile. She walked over to Long Chen and sat down in front of him. She glanced at Long Chen and Lingxi with a seductive smile and said, "The two of you are truly a talented man and beautiful woman. Even I am envious of you. I didn't come here for anything else, but I saw that the two of you were also waiting for the start of the Sea Sacrifice Ceremony. I was afraid that the two of you might be anxious because you are unfamiliar with this place, so I came over to chat with the two of you. I hope that the two of you won't mind."
Liu Ji said in a sweet voice.
To men, this voice was indeed very enticing. But to Ling Xi, it was disgusting. She glared at Long Chen and looked at him angrily. Although she didn't say anything, her attitude was very clear.
This action made Liu Ji laugh even harder. She leaned forward slightly, revealing her deep cleavage. That scale was really big, but Long Chen didn't look too much. After all, Lingxi was by his side. At this time, Liu Ji took out a bracelet.
At this moment, Liu Ji took out a bracelet. It was a very beautiful thing. She gently handed the bracelet over to Ling Xi and said, "Sister, you've traveled a great distance to come to my Sea Deity Region. I was too busy before and didn't have the time to entertain you. Today, I've specially come to apologize. This is a small token of my appreciation. It's made from the most beautiful gemstone of the Sea Race. It can nourish the spirit, increase one's power, and form a defensive effect. Sister, you're so beautiful. Only in your hands can this bracelet display its quality."
Long Chen glanced at it. Although it was just a bracelet, there were many beautiful patterns on it. Those were Dao patterns. At a glance, there were close to 600 Dao patterns. This was a treasure that even a Seven-Star Reincarnation Tribulation Realm warrior dreamed of, but Liu Ji was really generous. She actually gave it to Lingxi at this time.
Up until now, in the eyes of the outside world, Long Chen was still under the banner of an alliance. Therefore, he wouldn't let his relationship with the Sea Race worsen. Even if they joined forces to deal with him last time, he wouldn't be angry.
This time, Liu Ji's gift had long been an eyesore to Lingxi. Therefore, when she kindly pushed the bracelet over, she didn't even move and simply looked elsewhere.
Long Chen knew that she hated sexy and charming women like Liu Ji the most in her life. She didn't even want to say a word to them. When they were still in Yuan Ling City, she already hated Liu Lan. She was the first sexy woman that Long Chen had met. Fortunately, he had already experienced a lot of romance at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold his ground in front of Liu Lan.
These women were the easiest to trigger a man's most primal impulse.
Seeing Liu Ji's gift floating in midair, Long Chen hurriedly smiled and pressed his finger on the bracelet. He gently pushed it and said, "Lord Liu Ji, as the saying goes, there is no reward for nothing. We are new here and can't accept such a big gift from you. Why don't we wait until we become friends in the future and get to know each other better? This gift has a total of 600 Dao patterns. It can be considered a rare treasure."
He pushed the bracelet back to Liu Ji.
"Alright, since you don't dare to accept it, then I won't force you."
Liu Ji still maintained her smile, but the sharpness in her bones was still there. From this moment on, her heart had changed.
"There is one more thing that I need to trouble you with, Long Chen."
Long Chen secretly comforted Lingxi and asked again, "What does Lord Liu Ji need me to do?"
In his heart, he was already secretly on guard.
Liu Ji smiled sweetly and was very charming. She stretched her lazy body and said, "I have long heard that your strength is already invincible among Demigods. However, you haven't reached the Six Paths Reincarnation Realm yet. It is because your inherited essence blood is from a supreme divine dragon that you have such magical power. I am very curious about this. After so many years, I still haven't been able to break through to a higher realm and reach the level of the Dragon Emperor. This time, I am here to exchange some pointers with you. I have long heard that you become stronger when you meet strong opponents and that you love to fight. You won't reject me today, right?"
"No."
Lingxi couldn't help but refuse.
Liu Ji was someone who had already passed the Nine Palaces Tribulation. In the entire Sea God Region, besides the six Sea Emperors, no one was a match for her. Before Long Chen passed the Six Paths Tribulation, there was no way he could be a match for her.
She was worried about Long Chen's safety, so she spoke so quickly.
"Little girl, recklessly making decisions for a man isn't something a smart woman should do, you know?" Liu Ji's eyes were filled with smiles as she looked at Ling Xi. However, in reality, her eyes were filled with killing intent.
How could Ling Xi be afraid of her? It was just that this was not the right time for her to fly into a rage. Long Chen gently pressed down on her hand, then said to Liu Ji, "I don't think this is very appropriate. I'm here to seek an alliance with the Sea Clan, so how can I fight with Lord Liu Ji? Furthermore, I'm not that naive to think that the current me is your opponent."
"Really? Do you really think that the gap between us is so big?" Liu Ji giggled.
She stood up, revealing her sexy figure. She looked down at Long Chen and suddenly became serious. "You are the representative of the Human Race, so you can't admit defeat. The reason I want to spar with you is to see the current strength of the Human Race, and to see if it's worthy of our alliance. You are the most representative of the Human Race, so it's naturally not a coincidence that you caused such a huge commotion. Therefore, I want to see exactly how capable you are. Of course, don't worry, I will only use one move. If you can withstand it, I will be convinced by you and the Human Race."
This was a challenge.
"Just one move?"
Long Chen stood up as well. He was never one to be afraid of challenges. In fact, he was already very close to the edge of the Six Paths Calamity. He needed an opportunity to break through, and Liu Ji might be able to give him that opportunity.
"Chen." Lingxi looked at him with her watery eyes.
"Don't worry, no problem."
He gently patted Ling Xi's face to reassure her. After all, a single move wouldn't be able to do anything to Long Chen. Although Liu Ji was powerful, she wasn't at the level where she could finish him off with a single move.
"You agreed. How straightforward." Liu Ji could not help but chuckle.
Long Chen put Lingxi into the God Nation and flew up into the sky with a serious look. Liu Ji followed closely behind him. In this sea region, the two did not cause any commotion. They faced each other from afar, and both sides were already preparing.
Swoosh.
Liu Ji took out the black snake bone whip. It was something that almost killed Chen Xingyao in a few strikes. Of course, it would not be simple.
This dao artifact with close to 900 Dao patterns gave Long Chen a headache. But if it was only one move, he thought that he could still withstand it.
However, he still underestimated it.
If it was only one move, how could Liu Ji just use a simple whip? At this time, there was a cold smile hidden in her eyes. She waved the whip in her hand, and in an instant, the seawater surged and spread across the entire Vast Imperial City. A large amount of seawater disappeared and became hollow.
The barbs on the whip became even more ferocious, and there seemed to be a black snake slithering on the whip.
