Previously, Long Chen was worried that the Vigor Demon General would kill him before he destroyed the evidence. But now, he didn't need to worry about that, because he knew that Queen Qingli definitely needed him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed Long Chen to kill Qin Huanyu. She wouldn't have kept the news strictly and wouldn't have spread the news that Long Chen had defeated Qin Huanyu.
At that moment, the Vigor Demon General's eyes were blood-red. When he saw Zhao Wuji's miserable state, he roared, "Jiang Cheng, you bastard! How dare you kill me? You're courting death!"
As he spoke, the imposing manner of the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm suddenly burst out. The powerful Genuine Qi, like a mountain, swept towards Long Chen and directly forced Long Chen to take a few steps back. Then, the Vigor Demon General roared angrily. He stomped on the ground with his strong legs and was about to attack Long Chen.
Under his attack, Long Chen would definitely be killed in one move.
"Stop."
At that moment, Queen Qingli directly took action and pulled the Vigor Demon General back. She said coldly, "Vigor, calm down. I'm the one in charge of the Qingli Palace, not you."
Queen Qingli was an expert in the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Her strength was much higher than that of the Vigor Demon General. With Queen Qingli's pull, the Vigor Demon General couldn't move at all. Moreover, Queen Qingli's cold voice also scared him. The Vigor Demon General sobered up a little. Just now, he was immersed in the anger of Zhao Wuji's death and was momentarily impulsive.
"Jiang Cheng, tell me what's going on." At that moment, Queen Qingli looked coldly at Long Chen and said. "It's very simple. I believe you already know. Zhao Wuji reached the fifth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm and wanted to fight with me to avenge his humiliation.
"It's very simple. I believe you already know. This Zhao Wuji has reached the fifth level of the Reaching Heaven State, and he wanted to fight with me to avenge himself. During the day, I didn't agree to his request, so at night, he used a trick to lure me out. I defeated him, but I spared his life. Unfortunately, he was still unconvinced, and took out the Thunder Talisman of the Nine Heavens, wanting to take my life. Fortunately, I survived, so I could only take his life."
The Vigor Demon General and Queen Qingli did know that Zhao Wuji had been making trouble for Long Chen these days. Because of Queen Qingli's order, the Vigor Demon General didn't have time to tell Zhao Wuji about Long Chen. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened tonight.
Queen Qingli nodded. What Long Chen said was similar to the situation here. It was easy to tell that it was completely true. The Vigor Demon General knew Long Chen's character better, so he also knew that what Long Chen said was true. However, Zhao Wuji was his nephew. How could he let Zhao Wuji die in vain?
"Jiang Cheng, in the final analysis, you killed Zhao Wuji. As an ordinary disciple, you killed the personal disciple of the Red Ghost King. Moreover, Zhao Wuji is my nephew. A life for a life. No matter what reason you have, you have to pay with your life," the Vigor Demon General roared with a ferocious face.
If it was another ordinary disciple, the Vigor Demon General could definitely kill him easily to avenge Zhao Wuji. After all, the Ancient Demon Region had a rule that no private fights were allowed. However, that was only for ordinary disciples. As one of the 28 Demon Generals, the Vigor Demon General still had the right to kill disciples. He had killed many ordinary disciples, so Queen Qingli could not intervene at all.
Therefore, at this time, the Vigor Demon General didn't think too much. After Long Chen told him what happened, he said nothing and wanted to kill Long Chen.
"Stop it right now."
Monarch Qingli roared and forced Juli Demon General to take a few steps back. Her cold eyes made Juli Demon General completely stunned. He looked at Monarch Qingli in confusion and said, "Your Excellency Monarch Qingli, he is just an ordinary disciple, but he killed my nephew. Can't I avenge my nephew?"
If it was in the past, Queen Qingli would never ask about it. However, why did she stop him today? He was one of the four Demon Generals of the Qingli Imperial Palace. With his status, how could he lose to Long Chen?
Queen Qingli's strange behavior almost drove the Vigor Demon General crazy.
"Don't mess around. This matter was originally the fault of the Red Ghost King Palace. Jiang Cheng was just defending passively. We are the people of the Qingli Imperial Palace. Vigor Demon General, you can't choose the wrong side," Queen Qingli said coldly.
The Vigor Demon General was stunned. He knew that from this point of view, there was basically no room for negotiation. He was not a fool. At this time, he was also thinking about the reason. In fact, it was not difficult to figure out the reason. Why did Queen Qingli do everything possible to protect Long Chen? It was because of Long Chen's potential. Moreover, the Vigor Demon General also knew something that even Long Chen did not know.
"I will leave the matter of Zhao Wuji to you. Jiang Cheng, follow me back to the Qingli Imperial Palace."
Queen Qingli did not give the Vigor Demon General any room for negotiation. She turned and left directly. Long Chen was calm and quickly followed the footsteps of Queen Qingli.
He did not look at the Vigor Demon General, but Long Chen could still feel the hatred in the Vigor Demon General's eyes. In this world, survival depended on one's own strength. Long Chen, who was at the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm, was far from being a match for the Vigor Demon General. Therefore, he could only stay silent for the rest of his life and follow Queen Qingli.
As for the future, with the protection of Queen Qingli, Long Chen did not need to worry about the Vigor Demon General for the time being, unless the Vigor Demon General went crazy and did not want to stay in the Ancient Demons Area any longer.
Only the people of the Qingli Imperial Palace could see the movement on the barren mountain. The other palaces were not very clear. Under the suppression of Queen Qingli, the news was temporarily suppressed, so for the time being, few people knew what happened here. At this time, Long Chen was taken back to the Qingli Imperial Palace. The place where Queen Qingli lived was the core part of the Qingli Imperial Palace. Long Chen had not been here before.
In the Imperial Palace, there were only Long Chen and Queen Qingli. At this time, Queen Qingli sat on the gorgeous chair and looked down at Long Chen. The strength of the Earth Martial Arts Realm was indeed qualified for Long Chen to admire.
"Jiang Cheng, I think you are not a fool. You should be able to see that I can protect you." After a while, Queen Qingli said lightly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Queen Qingli. I understand that if it were not for you today, the Vigor Demon General would definitely kill me."
Long Chen was clear about this. The reason why he dared to kill Zhao Wuji was that he had already guessed the clues from Queen Qingli's actions. This seemed very risky, but Long Chen had full confidence. Moreover, Zhao Wuji had repeatedly wanted to kill Long Chen. How could Long Chen let him live?
"It's good that you understand. I believe you also know that I am not related to you, and you are not my personal disciple. I do have a reason to help you." Queen Qingli continued.
"I don't know what I can do for you." In fact, Long Chen had a rough idea, so he just confirmed it.
Queen Qingli was silent for a while and then said with a wry smile, "Five years ago, the disciples of the seven palaces held the annual assessment. Our Qingli Imperial Palace ranked last, and the strength of our disciples was much lower than that of other palaces. Today, five years later, I think you know the current situation. Our Qingli Imperial Palace doesn't have young disciples in the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm, but the other six palaces do. That is to say, our Qingli Imperial Palace is basically determined to be the last in the one-month annual assessment. Since I took charge of the Qingli Imperial Palace, it has never improved, and the strength of the disciples is worse than that of the previous generation. Maybe when I retire, the Qingli Imperial Palace will no longer exist."
Speaking of this, Queen Qingli's mood was a little heavy.
Long Chen didn't miss a single word of what she said.
"It's really a tragedy to be the last two times in a row. However, Liu Yiyi has almost reached the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. Judging from her situation, it will only take her one or two months. It seems that Queen Qingli is exaggerating when she said that the Qingli Imperial Palace will no longer exist."
Long Chen was thinking. If he was an ordinary person, he would be fooled by Queen Qingli at once. However, Long Chen knew the strength of Liu Yiyi, so he still had some doubts.
Of course, how miserable the situation of the Qingli Imperial Palace was, in fact, had nothing to do with Long Chen. Long Chen knew what Queen Qingli meant.
"You mean that I should represent the Qingli Imperial Palace in the annual assessment one month later?" Long Chen raised his head and asked.
In fact, he was secretly delighted. For him, this was exactly what he wanted. He still didn't know how to participate in the annual assessment and get the Emperor Flame Bead. But Queen Qingli provided him with such an opportunity.
"You are very smart. I think that from today on, I will focus on training you so that your strength will make great progress in one month. Do you have the confidence to defeat the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm and get into the top three, or even the champion?" Queen Qingli stared at Long Chen and said seriously.
Long Chen knew that Queen Qingli had saved him this time. He had no right to refuse at all. Otherwise, the Giant Strength Demon General would tear him apart.
"If Your Excellency Queen Qingli is willing to train me and give me what I want, I am sure that at least I won't let the Qingli Imperial Palace be the last. As for the top three, it is not very difficult." Long Chen said decisively, with a firm look in his eyes.
Today, it seemed that he was threatened by Queen Qingli, but in fact, Long Chen felt very happy. His original purpose was to become as strong as possible before the annual assessment and then get the Emperor Flame Bead. But Queen Qingli sent all the benefits to him. Long Chen didn't have to think about anything. He could get whatever he wanted.
Queen Qingli was very satisfied with Long Chen's affirmative answer. She said with a smile, "You are full of confidence. It seems that you have a plan, right? What do you want? Tell me directly."
Long Chen thought for a while and said, "I want one million Heavenly Reaching Elixirs and the crystal that shrouded us with the magic light."
One million Heavenly Reaching Elixirs was equivalent to all the property of a warrior on the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. And the crystal was also the treasure of the Qingli Imperial Palace, which only had five.
Long Chen's condition made Queen Qingli frown slightly. She thought for a while and said, "With these things, he can guarantee that he can defeat a martial artist in the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State in a month. What can you guarantee?"
"I can guarantee that if I can't finish it, I will come to see you with my head." Long Chen said decisively.
