Time passed by slowly.
Long Chen could sense that with the old man's original realm and his current level of exhaustion, a hundred King Crystals would not be enough for him to recover. However, after so many years, it was still a question whether he could recover his strength.
Long Chen had the Blood Refining Technique, so he did not have to worry about increasing his Qi. The King Crystals were mainly used to buy some things, so they were not very useful for the time being.
The Long siblings were looking at the old man anxiously. Before they could say anything, Long Chen took out another two hundred King Crystals. He had a total of two thousand King Crystals, but there were only about one thousand and five hundred left. Of course, most of them were obtained from Yang Ningfeng, so he did not feel the pinch.
The rich Martial Essence within the two hundred King Crystals was absorbed by the old man once again. After about half a day, the light around the old man gradually decreased, and his body gradually appeared. Compared to before, his body was stronger now, and not as terrifying as before.
Under his control, the excess white hair gradually fell off. At this moment, the old man opened his eyes, and two rays of divine light burst out. In his eyes, Long Chen could vaguely see a dragon pattern.
With a whoosh, the old man stood in front of Long Chen and the others. His current appearance was much more normal. At this moment, he was looking at his own body in surprise. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and tears began to fill his eyes.
After waiting for so many years, he had finally escaped. One could imagine how excited he was at this moment.
It could not be described with words.
After crying for a long time, Long Chen and the others did not disturb him. After a few minutes, the old man's tears had all flowed out, and he looked at Long Chen and the others. The dragon soul transformation of these three people made him feel very close.
"Is your name Long Shan, our grandfather?" Long Yue was not completely sure of the other party's identity, so he asked tentatively.
This sentence shocked the old man. He looked at Long Yue and the others in a daze, and said with a trembling voice, "You … You are Yang 'er's sons?"
Long Yue and the grey-clothed youth hurriedly nodded. Their father was the Yang'er that the old man had mentioned.
"Okay, okay."
The old man's eyes were filled with excitement. He looked around and said, "I didn't expect this. I didn't expect that all of you would come to save me. I was trapped here by Chen Xiong. I thought that I was dead for sure. I didn't expect that I would still have a chance to live. Chen Xiong, Chen Xiong, where is he now?"
When he said this name, Long San's eyes were filled with anger.
"Chen Xiong, the previous Martial Emperor. He, he seemed to have obtained the Ancient Tomb Token and entered the Ancient Cemetery. He never came back. He is definitely dead," the grey-clothed youth said.
"Dead."
Long Shan was stunned and took a few steps back. Only then did he bitterly smile and say, "So he's already dead. I schemed and swore that if I had the chance, I would definitely take revenge. I never thought that this scum would already be dead. That's right, it's been too long, too long …"
Long Yue nodded and said, "Grandfather, I'm my father's eldest daughter. I'm called Long Yue, and this is my brother. He's called … Long Chen."
Seeing that his two grandsons seemed to have rather powerful strength, Long Shan felt very gratified in his heart. He asked, "Where's your father?"
"Father also went. Right now, there are only the three of us left in the Long Family." Long Yue said.
"Yang'er also went?"
Long Shan's face was filled with sorrow and he said, "Yang'er's cultivation is not good, and his talent is not good. After so many years, I already expected this."
Desolate.
"What's the situation outside? Is the Divine Wushu Sage Dynasty still under the control of the Wushu Alliance?" Long Shan sighed and asked after a good while.
"The current Martial Emperor is called Zhao Wuji, fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm. In the Divine Wushu Sage Dynasty, no one is a match for him. So, right now, the Divine Wushu Sage Dynasty is still under the control of the Wushu Alliance." Long Yue nodded and said.
"Fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm. Hehe, Wushu Alliance, Wushu Alliance, Chen Xiong, even if you put me in the Ninth Hell Mourning Soul Land, I know how to get out. You can't kill me, so you used this method to trap me. But, did you ever think that I would still come out today? With me, can your Wushu Alliance still continue to exist?" Long Shan's face showed a gloomy smile.
"Grandfather, what's your current strength?" The grey-clothed youngster couldn't help but ask.
Long Chen could also see that this old man used to be a peerless strong cultivator. After so many years, who knew what he was like now?
The old man shook his head and said, "My real strength is the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm. But because of the extreme lack of Genuine Qi, and because of many injuries, the most I can do now is display the same fighting strength as you. If I have enough King Crystals, maybe I can recover to the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm. As for the fifth level, I need a very long time to recuperate."
His real strength was the fifth level of the Earth Martial Realm.
That was already terrifying enough. After all, the strongest Martial Emperor in the Divine Wushu Sage Dynasty, Zhao Wuji, had just reached the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm. Long Shan's real strength was much higher than his.
"How many King Crystals do you need?" Long Chen said straightforwardly.
After Long Chen finished speaking, that Long Shan finally noticed Long Chen. At first, Long Chen didn't say a word, causing Long Shan to slightly ignore him. When Long Chen spoke, he suddenly remembered that when Long Yue introduced him, he didn't mention Long Chen.
Moreover, Long Chen also called him grandfather.
But, what was going on with his Dragon Soul transformation?
Seeing Long Shan's puzzled gaze, Long Yue hurriedly explained, "Grandfather, this youngster's name is also Long Chen. He has the same name as my younger brother. He has the blood of our Long family, so I guess he should be a branch of our family."
"Branch."
Long Shan frowned deeply and said, "In our Long family, other than you and your sister, we basically only have one descendant. I don't have any branches for about ten generations. How can there be a branch?"
Long Shan's words stunned Long Yue and the grey-clothed youth.
Long Shan carefully sized up Long Chen, shook his head and said, "His Dragon Soul transformation is different from ours, so he is not related to our Long family by blood. However, among his ancestors, there is also the legendary Dragon Warrior. Young man, don't you think so?"
Fortunately, this Long Shan couldn't see through Long Chen's background.
Thus, he nodded and said, "I'm not very clear about the matters of my ancestors. In my family, only I have awakened this power. I don't know what's going on either."
Long Chen couldn't possibly tell them that he was a Dragon Warrior, so he casually made up a lie.
Long Shan remembered that the person who gave him the King Crystal had always been this Long Chen.
At this time, Long Yue said, "Grandfather, we have already become sworn brothers. No matter what his blood relationship with us is, he is still my younger brother. I have already passed on the Soul Scattering Dragon Claw to him. This time, he came to the Nine You Death Soul Land to save us."
Long Yue was afraid that Long Shan would think that Long Chen was an outsider, so she hurriedly explained.
Long Chen also smiled and said, "We have known each other for a long time. I have a lot of King Crystals. How many do you need to restore your strength to the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm?"
If there was really a fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm, it would be a great help. If Long Chen had a good relationship with him, it would be very easy to do anything in the future, such as the Ancient Tomb Token.
There were so many experts in the Divine Wushu Sage Court who would fight for the Ancient Tomb Token, so Long Chen wasn't very confident.
After chatting for a while, Long Shan quickly accepted that Long Chen was also an outstanding junior of his. Thus, he didn't treat him as an outsider and said, "If you want to restore your strength to the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm, you will need about a thousand King Crystals. It's really too much. Do you have that many King Crystals?"
Taking out a thousand King Crystals to create an expert in the fourth level of the Earth Martial Realm, Long Chen thought it was quite worth it, so he nodded and said, "Of course I have a thousand King Crystals."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Chen counted exactly a thousand King Crystals from the Great Virtual Realm and handed them to Long Shan.
"Good boy, you are a forthright person. After I, Long Shan, restore my strength, I will naturally not treat you badly. Even if we are not related by blood, I will protect you like a grandson."
For the first time, Long Shan revealed a happy smile.
Being someone else's grandson for no reason, Long Chen was a little depressed. However, thinking that the other party was close to a hundred years old and was also very strong, he didn't care much about it. The King Crystals came very quickly. He just needed to kill Yang Ningfeng, and it was not easy to have such an expert protect him.
The Long siblings looked at Long Chen with gratitude.
This time, Long Chen had come to the Nine Serenities Mourning Soul Land, which had done them a great favor. Although Long Yue and Long Chen were sworn siblings, she still felt a little embarrassed.
"Big sister, don't look at me like that. The Soul-dispersing Dragon Claw you gave me is the price of these King Crystals," said Long Chen with a smile.
"I'm just thinking about how wise of a decision it was to save you from the Ancient Demon Area. Hehe, you should thank that girl called Liu Yiyi. Without her request, Wuya wouldn't have risked his life to save you," Long Yue said with a smile.
Liu Yiyi.
He didn't know whether Jiang Wuya could solve her problem. Zhao Danchen said it would take more than a month. Now it was almost a month. If Jiang Wuya couldn't solve it, Long Chen could only solve it by force with so many experts on his side.
He just didn't know if there would be enough time.
No one was in a hurry to go out. They were waiting for Long Shan to absorb the power of the one thousand King Crystals. After he succeeded, they would have a warrior at Lv 4 of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. By then, they wouldn't have to be afraid of a Martial Emperor anymore.
They would be able to do whatever they wanted in Martial Emperor City.
One thousand King Crystals were arranged orderly around Long Shan. Each King Crystal was glowing like the most beautiful jade in the world. These King Crystals gathered together and formed a glowing halo, which slowly and steadily rotated around Long Shan.
