Hearing the arrival of the Ninth Prince, Long Chen shut his mouth. He was a smart man and knew who he could afford to offend and who he could not. With the support of the Lingwu family, Long Chen could be proud of Li Ziling, but he did not dare to offend the Ninth Prince, who came from Bi Yang Imperial City.
Hearing the commotion, Li Ziling, whose face had turned ashen due to Long Chen's anger, was pulled to a seat by Li Wudi. Seeing that Li Ziling was still angry, Li Wudi said in a low voice, "Ziling 'er, you have to learn to be patient. You'll be going to the ancient ruins the day after tomorrow. Rather than bickering here, why don't you plan on how to vent your anger in the ancient ruins?"
"Grandpa, I understand. I'll kill him there. If I didn't run out of True Qi, even a hundred Long Chen wouldn't be a match for me." Li Ziling calmed herself down.
"You're one of the top three martial artists of the younger generation in Yuanling City. Why do you always bicker with the small fry? Remember, Yan Danqing and Mo Xiaolang are your opponents. Don't neglect the essentials," Li Wudi said.
"Yes, Daddy is right."
When Li Wudi heard this, he smiled in relief. Then, he followed everyone's gaze and looked into the depths of the Jade Emperor Hall. At this time, two figures had already walked out from the depths of the hall. The Jade Emperor Palace was brightly lit, and everyone could see the appearance of the people who had come.
Long Chen also carefully sized up these two people. The person behind him was completely shrouded in black clothes. His black hair was meticulously combed and tied into a bun, and his body was bowed as he walked at the back. Clearly, he was trying to highlight the identity of the person in front of him. Long Chen guessed that this black-clothed old man should be someone similar to a butler.
The man in front of him shocked Long Chen. He was a man around the age of twenty and wore a luxurious black and white robe. He had a tall nose and dashing eyebrows. His face was as white as jade, and he had an imposing appearance. He was handsome and confident, and his handsomeness wasn't inferior to Dongfang Xuanxiao. However, compared to Dongfang Xuanxiao, he had a different kind of temperament that shocked others.
Long Chen's temperament was truly indescribable. From his eyes to his fingers, Long Chen saw one thing, and that was a sword. This man's entire person was like a sharp sword. He walked over from afar, and even though he had restrained it, traces of Sword Qi still overflowed in all directions, causing everyone present to feel a little numb on their skin.
"Sword qi, he is like a person made of sword qi."
Long Chen was full of shock. He could see that the Ninth Prince was an expert in the Heavenly River Realm, and he was not weaker than Emperor Yuan, who was the strongest here.
"As expected, he is someone from Bi Yang Imperial City. His level is a level higher than that of Yuan Ling City."
Long Chen thought to himself. The feeling of facing the Ninth Prince was like the feeling Long Chen had when facing the experts of Yuan Ling City in Baiyang Town. This filled his heart with awe. Before he had enough strength to be on equal footing with the other party, he chose to keep a low profile.
As soon as the Ninth Prince arrived, he sat on the seat of honor. He kept a smile on his face and glanced at everyone. At this time, he had completely restrained the sword qi on his body, which made his eyes look as harmonious as spring. Those two eyes were like the most beautiful stars in the night sky. Some young girls, being swept by this gentle gaze, suddenly felt a little light-headed.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Ninth Prince."
Everyone reacted and hurriedly left their seats, bowed to the Ninth Prince, and greeted him respectfully with their heads lowered.
Among the crowd, Long Chen also imitated them, very skillfully. However, he found that Mo Xiaolang, who was next to him, was a little stiff. It seemed that he had this kind of grudge against anyone from the royal family. Although the Ninth Prince had nothing to do with the destruction of his family, he still had the blood of the royal family flowing in his veins.
"Everyone, please sit down. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
The Ninth Prince looked around and said with a smile. His smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel close to him out of nowhere.
As Long Chen sat down, he was also secretly sizing up the Ninth Prince.
When this guy first arrived, he deliberately revealed a little of his strength to intimidate us. But now, he's trying to get close to us with warmth. Both the carrot and the stick are very appropriate, making people respect him and fear him at the same time. He seems to have a lot of tricks up his sleeves, and he does have the aura of a royal. Moreover, his status and strength are very high. I want to become an Immortal Realm Divine Guard, and it has a lot to do with him. No matter what, I have to pretend to be a grandson and build a good relationship with him. Long Chen secretly planned in his heart.
Even when facing Mo Xiaolang, Long Chen did not feel this cautious. The pressure that the other party gave him was too great. Right now, Long Chen felt that he was just an ant in the eyes of the other party.
"Xiao Lang was much stronger than me in the past, and now he's my best brother. If the Ninth Prince is not a heartless person, I can also try to climb up to him."
While Long Chen was secretly thinking about these things, the Blue Dragon Patriarch and the others had already greeted the Ninth Prince. The grand banquet officially began. Countless exquisite delicacies were placed in front of them, but no one touched them. Instead, they watched the big shots of the three major forces drink and have fun with the Ninth Prince, talking about everything under the sun.
While everyone was looking at the Ninth Prince with a forced smile, time gradually passed. At this time, the Blue Dragon Patriarch and the Ninth Prince were chatting happily. Whether it was the Blue Dragon Patriarch, Li Wudi, or Emperor Yuan, when they addressed the Ninth Prince, they all called him Your Highness, the Ninth Prince. At this time, the Ninth Prince was displeased and said, "In terms of age, you are all my elders, and this is not Bi Yang Imperial City. I came here purely to relax, don't make it too grand. My name is Lin Cangtian, you can just call me Cangtian."
"No, no, etiquette cannot be abolished. Ninth Prince, if the Sword Emperor finds out that we addressed you like this, our heads will definitely roll to the ground," the Blue Dragon Patriarch hurriedly said.
"Brother Dongfang is right, this is very inappropriate," Li Wudi also hurriedly said.
"Since both of you say so, I won't force you. Hehe, it's getting late now, and the banquet should end. I am very satisfied with your hospitality today," Lin Cangtian said with a faint smile.
"Yuan Ling City is a poor place, there are no good things at all. We are not good hosts, not good hosts." Li Wudi of the Morning Light Business League hurriedly said with a smile.
"Alliance Master Li is too modest."
The Ninth Prince smiled. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked the Blue Dragon Patriarch, "Patriarch Dongfang, when I was young, I once came to Yuan Ling City. At that time, there seemed to be a guy named Jin, who was very likable. I wonder where he is now."
That time when he came to Yuan Ling City, the Ninth Prince Lin Cangtian purely came to seek refuge. At that time, he was still a relatively poor prince, but it was different now. Although he was not the top, Lin Cangtian still had some influence in Bi Yang Imperial City.
When he first came to Yuan Ling City, the clever Jin Luan offered his daughter to Lin Cangtian, with the intention of soaring to the sky. It was the first time that Lin Cangtian tasted a woman, so he naturally had some feelings for her. However, after he returned to Bi Yang Imperial City, he gradually grew up and forgot about this matter. This time, when he came to Yuan Ling City, he suddenly remembered it and casually asked.
Many people in the Dongfang Family knew about this matter, but they did not take it seriously. This time, when Long Chen went to Thunder Fire Mountain Range, Dongfang Xuanyu suddenly thought of this matter. She called Jin Luan and Chu Tianxiong, thinking that if even the Scarlet Flame Talisman could not kill Long Chen, she would let the Ninth Prince deal with Long Chen. In this way, Long Chen would not die.
Not many people knew what happened, but almost everyone present knew that Long Chen had killed Jin Luan.
Lin Cangtian, the Ninth Prince, only asked casually, but everyone was silent. Everyone was looking at each other. He lost interest and said, "You don't know him? I guess I remembered wrongly. Maybe he's dead." After saying that, he did not care anymore.
However, Long Chen became alert. He felt that something was wrong because the Old Ancestor of the Blue Dragon and the others all looked at him. At this moment, Li Ziling's eyes shone with surprise. She quickly said to the Ninth Prince, "Your Highness, I know who you are talking about. He is Jin Luan, the Supreme Elder of the Jin Clan of the Lingwu family. However, he was killed by Long Chen more than ten days ago."
Li Ziling's words made everyone gasp. They looked at Long Chen with pitiful eyes. In their opinion, the person who once existed in the Ninth Prince's memory was killed by Long Chen. This time, Long Chen was definitely going to die.
Long Chen was also puzzled at first, but he soon realized that the person the Ninth Prince was talking about was Jin Luan. This was beyond his expectation. He did not expect Jin Luan to be in cahoots with the Ninth Prince. This was not good …
Mo Xiaolang knew something was wrong when he saw the strange looks on everyone's faces. On the table, he only grabbed Long Chen's arm. It was obvious that he was very nervous. If the Ninth Prince made a move, it would be a battle of life and death for them tonight.
It was very likely that they would die.
After Li Ziling finished speaking, she stared at Long Chen with a vengeful smile on her face.
Everyone was looking at Long Chen. At this moment, the Ninth Prince knew who Long Chen was without even asking.
Long Chen's heart was in his throat. He was waiting for this man who was looking at him with great interest to give him the final judgment. He thought he had solved the problem of killing Dongfang Xuanyu, but he had never expected this bitch to still have such a powerful attack hidden behind her back. She was really vicious.
"Haha …" The Ninth Prince suddenly laughed out. He slapped the armrest of his chair and said, "You've just broken through to the Heavenly Core realm, and you're already able to kill a Late Heavenly Core warrior. Not bad, I'm looking forward to your performance in the Burning Sky Secret Realm."
With that, he stood up and turned around. With a move of his feet, he disappeared from the Jade Emperor Hall.
Everyone looked at each other. They couldn't help but feel impressed by Long Chen's good luck. Long Chen had survived this ordeal, and not many people were happy for him. However, there were many who felt dejected and angry. Li Ziling thought Long Chen would definitely die, but she didn't expect her punch to land on empty air. This really annoyed her.
Long Chen's mind was filled with countless questions after he had easily passed this ordeal. Logically speaking, he was just an ant in the Ninth Prince's eyes, so why didn't he kill him?
Also, the Burning Sky Secret Realm, was that the name of the ancient ruin?
