At this time, Xiao Lang's power had increased a lot. His black eyes, sharp claws, sharp teeth, and the rich fire attribute aura made Long Chen feel a little fearful when he looked at him. Long Chen faintly felt that Xiao Lang had the Divine Fire Doppelganger, the Great Skill of Dao Heart Magic Seed, and the most terrifying Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Fire, he was afraid that even he wouldn't be a match for Xiao Lang now.
With the strength of their team, in Cangyang Kingdom, except for Sword Emperor and Zhao Qingyun, they could absolutely sweep away the others.
Since Xiao Lang had successfully reached Earth Rank Nine, it was time to return to Bi Yang Imperial City. Now that the chaos in Ni Yang's Fairyland had passed by five days, the movement should be almost over. It was more suitable for Long Chen to return to Bi Yang Imperial City at this time.
"Now that my strength is not enough, I can only try to kill Lin Zichen. Let's go, Xiao Lang, to Bi Yang Imperial City."
Long Chen instructed, and then he and Xiao Lang stepped on the road to return to the imperial city. This time, because it was not a desperate escape, Long Chen slowed down.
When they arrived at Bi Yang Imperial City again, it was early morning.
Long Chen smiled faintly as he looked at the city bathed in the morning light.
"Now, Lin Zichen should be busy in the imperial palace. It seems that it is not easy to get him out, and to stay away from Sword Emperor, in a safe environment. Forget it, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Anyway, I have already planted a foreshadowing in the First Prince's place, and now is the time to use it." Long Chen pondered.
"As for Xiao Lang, don't worry, I will naturally give you half of your enemies. I will enter the imperial city now. Xiao Lang, you find a place nearby and stay obediently. If I have any action, I will naturally tell you. I can't stay in the imperial city for long, so after I enter, I will basically act quickly to lure Lin Zichen out, under the premise that I don't alarm Sword Emperor."
Basically, Xiao Lang unconditionally followed Long Chen's decision. Long Chen had already planned this, so he nodded and turned around to play by himself. For Demonic Beasts, there was no need to cultivate at all, because as long as they grew to adulthood, their grade was already determined. However, Xiao Lang was different. He was a very rare level-up Demonic Beast, but he didn't need to cultivate. He only needed to devour fire attribute items to advance.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Xiao Lang was very idle.
During these times, he would usually choose to sleep. Firstly, when he burned his life previously, his soul was injured. Sleeping was just the right time to help him recover. Secondly, generally speaking, under the circumstances of sleeping, he could better digest the food he ate, and his cultivation would improve faster.
More importantly, when Lingxi was around, Xiao Lang was basically ignored by Long Chen, so he could only sleep …
After settling Xiao Lang down, Long Chen changed his attire and made himself look like a 25-year-old youth. He even gave himself a new name, Yang Qing. In fact, it was made by cutting out the first and last characters of Yang Lingqing's name. When he gave himself this name, Long Chen realized that he missed Yang Lingqing.
'I wonder how that silly girl is doing now. Will that woman called Li Xuanji treat her well?'
Thinking up to this point, Long Chen was a little worried. He secretly decided that he definitely had to grow up quickly, and then go to that place that Li Xuanji thought he definitely couldn't go to. Then, he would snatch Yang Lingqing back. He wouldn't be at ease putting his own sister in anyone's hands.
Long Chen realized that he still lacked a sword, because the Star Sword had already been destroyed. However, this was not a problem. Long Chen had recently killed quite a number of people. He didn't have a high-grade Earth Grade sword, but he did have quite a few mid-grade Earth Grade swords. In the imperial palace, he could only display the strength of the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier at most, so Long Chen knew that it was best for him not to make a move.
Thus, the sword was only for show.
"I remember that the Red Sun Restaurant should be here …" This restaurant was something that Long Chen had only seen casually on his way to Prince Yu's Residence. He had never been there before. At this moment, following his memory, he arrived at this restaurant. Seeing that he was young and seemed to have a high cultivation level, a manservant immediately came out to welcome him. He nodded and bowed to Long Chen, and said, "Sir …"
"Give me a guest room," Long Chen directly interrupted him.
The manservant hurriedly made arrangements.
He had just entered the guest room and closed the door when a knocking sound came from behind him. Long Chen smiled knowingly and opened the door. As expected, he saw the Eldest Imperial Prince, Lin Batian, looking at him excitedly.
"Come in." Long Chen laughed softly and stepped aside.
"Thank you, Sir."
The Eldest Imperial Prince hurriedly nodded and walked into the room. At this moment, there was another person following behind him. This person was wearing a heavy black full-body armor, a helmet on his head, and military boots on his feet. He was dressed like a general. Long Chen looked up and saw that this person was about 40 years old. He looked rough and wild, but there was a bright light in his eyes. It seemed like he was a meticulous person.
This person was at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier.
The moment he entered, Lin Batian looked at Long Chen sincerely, and said, "I am very excited that Sir could come. May I ask, since Sir has appeared here, it must mean that you have agreed to assist me?"
Long Chen nodded and did not say anything else. He did not want to give himself away.
"Thank you, Sir. How should I address you?"
Lin Batian asked respectfully. He was the prince of a dynasty, and the reason why he was so respectful to Long Chen was naturally because of Long Chen's extraordinary strength.
"My name is Yang Qing," Long Chen said.
"So it is Sir Yang."
Lin Batian nodded, and then introduced to Long Chen, "This is my uncle, and he is also the First Commander of the Imperial City Guards. His strength is at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, and Sir Yang should have heard of his name."
Long Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged general. He thought to himself, "So this is the First Commander of the Imperial City Guard Army. If he had acted back then, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. If he knew that I killed the other six commanders, I wonder what expression he would have."
"The name of the First Commander is naturally well-known. However, there is no need for Your Highness to address me as Sir Yang. If you have any respect for me, you can directly address me as Brother Yang," Long Chen said calmly.
"Since that is the case, then I will address you as Brother Yang. Brother Yang's decision to help me is something I really cannot express my gratitude for. I once said that if Brother Yang had any needs, he could just ask me …"
"Wait."
As the Eldest Imperial Prince spoke up to this point, the First Commander suddenly interrupted him. He then looked at Long Chen with a stern gaze, and asked, "May I be so bold as to ask, Brother Yang, what cultivation level are you at now?"
Long Chen understood that the First Commander was worried that the Eldest Imperial Prince would be deceived. Moreover, Long Chen's whereabouts were indeed suspicious. An elite like him had suddenly appeared in the Imperial City, and this caused the First Commander to be extremely cautious.
"Eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier," Long Chen said calmly.
"You are so young, and yet you are already at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. Moreover, you are able to easily kill other cultivators at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. With Brother Yang's talent, you should be well-known in the Cangyang Nation. Why have I never heard of Brother Yang's name before?" The First Commander was a little overbearing now.
Lin Batian was shocked, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Yang, he only wants to understand your identity. Although his words are a little harsh, I hope that Brother Yang does not take offense with him."
"It's fine."
Long Chen looked at the First Commander, and said with a smile, "When I came to the Cangyang Nation, I originally did not intend to reveal my identity. However, since he wants to know, I might as well tell him. Anyway, I will not be staying here for too long. To tell you the truth, I am from the West Sea Nation. May I ask, do you know what young elites there are in the West Sea Nation?"
Although the West Sea Nation and the Cangyang Nation were neighbors, the distance was quite far, and there was even a large mountain range between them. Normally, they did not have much interaction. The Eldest Imperial Prince spent most of his time at the border, and his battles were only in the eastern region.
"So you are an elite of the West Sea Nation. My apologies, my apologies," Lin Batian hurriedly said.
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I am helping you is because I heard that there are Heaven Level Spirit Medicines in the Ni Yang Wonderland. Previously, His Highness promised me that as long as I help you succeed in the competition for the throne, as long as you can obtain it, you will find it for me. May I ask, if I want a Heaven Level Spirit Medicine, can you get it for me?"
Long Chen simply made up an excuse. This way, his purpose was very clear, and the First Commander would not suspect that he had other intentions.
"In your dreams."
For the First Commander, Long Chen's demand was too much, so he couldn't help but blurt out.
"You shut up."
At this time, Lin Batian couldn't help but be angry with the First Commander. Although the First Commander was his uncle, if he wanted to ruin things, Lin Batian would not be polite.
Then, Lin Batian looked at Long Chen and said: "Brother Yang, I can promise you a Heaven Level Spirit Medicine, but I have a condition. That is, if I succeed in the competition for the throne, you must do your best and take the most credit. What do you think?"
"That is not a problem." Long Chen smiled indifferently.
"Brother Yang is really a straightforward person, I admire you."
Lin Batian praised, then he turned his head and rolled his eyes at the First Commander. Seeing that he and Long Chen had reached an agreement, the First Commander lowered his head and no longer spoke.
"When will Brother Yang enter the palace with me?" Lin Batian asked expectantly.
For example, I need to deal with Lin Zichen. I heard that he's at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. Hehe, to be honest, although I'm at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, I've defeated someone at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier before. This Lin Zichen is younger than me, so he's probably no match for me. "Long Chen deliberately acted as if he didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
In this place, it was all about scheming and being schemed against. Long Chen now acted as if he knew nothing about the Cangyang Country. This way, the other party would lower his guard.
Hearing Long Chen's words, the First Commander sneered.
