Long Chen wasn't surprised that Song Yang came to find him. After a few days, they could basically confirm that Huang Qiong had disappeared. Before Huang Qiong disappeared, the only person who had a conflict with her was probably Long Chen.
Because this was the Nether Square. There might be many distinguished people cultivating Nether Qi here. Even Song Yang, who was in the God Martial Arts Realm, wouldn't dare to make a scene here.
Song Yang and Ye Xuan were both in the God Martial Arts Realm.
Hearing what Ye Xuan said, Long Chen had a different view of the God Martial Arts Realm. According to what Ye Xuan said, Long Chen estimated that even if he had Yin and Yang Sword Soul, Dragon Soul Transformation and Five Emperor Dharma Images, he might not be able to fight against experts in the God Martial Arts Realm even if he stayed in the Lv 7 or 8 of the Sky Martial Arts Realm.
He might not be able to fight against experts in the Lv 9 of the Sky Martial Arts Realm because of his incredible ability to challenge those with higher cultivation levels.
After Song Yang came to Long Chen's side, he said to Long Chen, "Follow me out." Then he walked away.
Long Chen wasn't a fool who would admit that he killed Huang Qiong. He stood up and followed Song Yang with a gloomy face. He didn't get along with Song Yang, so this should be his normal behavior.
Seeing Long Chen stand up, Ye Xuan also stood up.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had followed him over, Song Yang originally wanted to bring Long Chen back and convict him, but now, he might not be able to. Long Chen had been very close to Ye Xuan these past few days. Everyone knew that this brat that appeared out of nowhere seemed to have a very good relationship with Ye Xuan, the proud son of heaven.
"What's the matter?" When they arrived at a place where no one was around, Long Chen stopped and didn't move forward.
"Did you kill Huang Qiong?"
Song Yang suddenly turned his head. His eyes were as deep as the abyss. From his body, a vast aura, as if there were stars hidden in it, rushed towards Long Chen. This was the aura of an expert in the God Martial Arts Realm.
The God Martial Arts Realm was the true peak of martial arts in everyone's eyes.
Long Chen was indeed shocked. He took a step back, but his spirit did not retreat. At this moment, he raised his head and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "Huang Qiong is dead. This is a good thing."
"I'm asking you, did you kill him?" Song Yang's tone became heavier.
Huang Qiong is a centurion, and I have already fought with him once. It is clear who won and who lost. Even ten of me, Long Chen, are not a match for him. Even you couldn't see who killed him. His opponent must be a warrior in the God Martial Arts Realm. I wonder, do I look like a warrior in the God Martial Arts Realm to you? "Long Chen didn't want to waste time with him, so he said sarcastically.
"You."
Song Yang thought about it. Long Chen's words did make sense.
At this moment, Ye Xuan spoke. He said, "Long Chen has been cultivating Nether Qi with me these past few days and has been sitting by my side. Other than that time when Huang Qiong came to find him, he went back for a while and immediately came back. He hasn't left since. I think the death of the person you're talking about definitely has nothing to do with him. I don't know if Song Yang believes what I said."
Ye Xuan was someone that even Marshal Sumo didn't dare to offend. He was the younger brother of the strongest warrior in the Specter City, so Song Yang certainly didn't dare to offend him.
Since Ye Xuan had said so, whether it was true or not, if Song Yang continued to pester him, he would be courting death. He nodded to Ye Xuan sincerely and said, "Of course young master Ye's words count. I won't disturb your Stygian cultivation anymore. Goodbye."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
"Let's go back. I still have to compete with you." Ye Xuan smiled.
"Thank you."
"You saved my life, so I'm only doing this to repay you. Don't take it to heart."
"Don't take it to heart either."
If he had cultivated Stygian Qi before Ye Xuan, it would have been too embarrassing. Although Long Chen had cultivated Stygian Qi, he wasn't in a hurry to go to the Nether Battlefield.
In front of the Nether Stone, he pondered the last move of the Emperor Technique. At the same time, he comprehended other things. He basically used all the emperor crystals he had to feed the golden lightning beast in the acupuncture point of his left hand, which was a bottomless pit.
"There's a little golden lightning beast inside the Nether Stone in the Specter Capital. Does this mean that the Nether Stones in the other ninety-nine capital cities, including the Nether Stones in the Nether God Sect's prefecture cities, also contain little golden lightning beasts?
This golden lightning beast alone was very helpful to Long Chen. At least, if Long Chen fed it with emperor crystals, it would become a life-saving trump card for Long Chen.
If it hadn't been for this golden lightning beast, Long Chen would have run away when he saw Huang Qiong.
"However, even if I do, there's nothing I can do right now. I've already used up all the Emperor Crystals I have to feed a Golden Lightning Beast. I won't be able to afford anything else. I'll have to wait until I have more Emperor Crystals or even Divine Crystals in the future."
Long Chen wasn't in a hurry. Only his True Martial Imperial Soul could see what was inside the Nether Stone. This Nether Stone had been here for tens of thousands of years, and no one had taken it away. Not to mention now.
Time flew quickly on the path of cultivation, especially since Long Chen was getting stronger by the day. A few months would pass in just a bit of cultivation.
Ye Xuan had spent two months and twenty-three days to cultivate the Nether Qi, which was about seven days faster than Sumo. This set a new record in the Specter Major City. This meant that Ye Xuan was at least as talented as Sumo, or even stronger.
Sumo had probably cultivated for almost a thousand years to reach his current level.
Compared to these people, Long Chen's age was similar to that of a newborn. His true age was even younger than Ye Xuan.
"When I first met Little Xi, she was only 16 years old, but she was already so powerful. Compared to Ye Xuan …"
This thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
When they first met, Little Xi was indeed only 16 years old. Lingxi wouldn't lie to him about this.
This also meant that Lingxi's talent was terrifying.
And she even said that this was the result of her slacking off.
In that case, how powerful was the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, the ruler of the Sword Spirit Emperor Domain, one of the three Great Emperor Domains?
Long Chen was overwhelmed with shock.
However, the raging flames of war were still burning in his heart.
In any case, Ye Xuan had succeeded, and Long Chen was about to enter the Nether Battlefield.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I was a step faster." Ye Xuan didn't know that Long Chen had already succeeded. He stood up and smiled.
"Congratulations, you can enter the Nether Battlefield in advance." Long Chen also stood up.
"I'll be waiting for you in the Nether Battlefield." Ye Xuan patted Long Chen's shoulder and smiled.
Long Chen suddenly thought of the assassination attempt on him. Who would dare to assassinate Ye Xuan in the Spirit Lord City? There were countless experts in the Nether Battlefield, so would the person who didn't succeed in the assassination attempt return in a place like the Nether Battlefield where killing people didn't even need to blink?
It would be even more difficult to guard against him there.
At this moment, Long Chen felt a powerful aura descend.
A group of people was walking over from outside the Nether Battlefield.
"Greetings, Marshal."
Everyone who was cultivating felt this aura and quickly half-knelt. Long Chen reacted quickly. He knew who it was. In front of the Nether Army, he still had a lot of respect for these experts who had cultivated for thousands of years. This half-kneeling was only a part of the respect.
The person who came was the one Long Chen had seen before. He was the leader of the Nether Army in the Specter Lord City, the Marshal who commanded the 500,000 Nether Army, Sumo.
At this moment, Sumo was wearing a black robe. His long hair was disheveled, and he had a smile on his face. He was barefoot in the air, heading in Ye Xuan's direction. Although he didn't release any aura, Long Chen could still feel how terrifying this man was. It was as if he had completely fused with the world. If it wasn't for the Soul-Devouring Demon Eyes, even if Long Chen used his eyes, he wouldn't be able to see him.
This was an expert in the fourth tier of the Divine Martial Realm.
Behind Sumo, there were five Netherworld Generals in the third tier of the Divine Martial Realm. Their strength was also very close to Sumo's. Following them were experts like captains. There were more than a dozen of them.
Among the people present, the only one who didn't salute was Ye Xuan.
When Sumo arrived, his eyes were on Ye Xuan. People like Long Chen were obviously ignored. Sumo stopped in front of Ye Xuan. His eyes flickered with a strange light. He said gently, "I heard that you spent eighty-three days to cultivate Netherworld Qi."
"I'm sorry to break your record." Ye Xuan smiled coldly.
Faced with Ye Xuan's childish words, Sumo didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "There are dangers in the Nether Battlefield that I can't control. I'll listen to your sister and let two Netherworld Generals accompany you. What do you think?"
"There's no need. If I needed protection, why would I enter the Nether Battlefield? You can leave." Ye Xuan waved his hand. He already had the intention of chasing Ye Xuan away.
Ye Xuan's impolite words made the Underworld Generals, Generals, and the like behind Su Mo look unsightly.
Every one of them was an earth-shattering figure. Sumo had been famous for more than a thousand years. He traveled everywhere, and his name shook the Nether Prefecture. How could he allow a young lad like Ye Xuan to offend him?
"Since that's the case, be careful. I originally wanted to give you a Universal Escape Talisman, but it looks like you don't need it anymore." Sumo turned and left.
"Give it to me."
Ye Xuan spread his hands. He wasn't a fool. Of course, he wasn't willing to be followed. However, if there was something good, he wouldn't reject it.
Sumo smiled and handed a mysterious talisman to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan accepted it.
