Chapter 615

Long Chen and Huo Li then fight, and Huo Li retreats.
The middle-aged man (Chapter 613) also leaves.
But Guan Mian stays behind to chat.
Long Chen was startled. It seemed there wouldn't be any good words between them. Shui Wuhen was also startled, but she then nodded, arranging a private room for them.
"Does sir have any teachings?"
Within that private room, Long Chen and the sword-bearing man were sitting, looking at each other. But the sword-bearing man didn't say anything for a long time. Long Chen was the one to break the silence.
"Long Chen, you are the manliest man I've ever met." Unexpectedly, this sword-bearing man gave Long Chen a thumbs-up.
"Senior overpraises me." Long Chen had no idea what this sword-bearing man was intending. All he could say were some token words of modesty.
"Today, I've learned what being domineering truly means. Even in front of an enormous existence that you can't possibly challenge, you still must be incomparably domineering. I, Guan Mian, have never seen such a thing before," praised the sword-bearing man. "In truth, I only came here because my sect told me a disciple had been killed and wanted me to investigate. But I believe you. That disciple was greedy, and that's why he deserved to be killed. This matter can't be blamed on you. However, the matter of you learning the first form of Split the Heavens is serious. The Heaven Splitting Divine Sect will not allow it."
Seeing Long Chen frown, this Guan Mian continued, "But this matter has already surpassed what I am qualified to handle. I need to report this matter. As for how the higher-ups will handle it, it'll be up to your luck. However, you shouldn't be too worried. With your character, I think it's very likely that the sect will actually praise you. There is still room for negotiation. But that's just my guess. As for the final result, I don't dare guarantee anything. So when the time comes, whether I have to take back the Battle Skill from you, or bring you to join the sect, will be decided by your luck."
"The reason I asked to speak to you alone is because I am prepared to transmit the second form of Split the Heavens to you," said Guan Mian extremely seriously.
"What?!" Long Chen stood up. He had never imagined that this hostile enemy from a few minutes ago would actually take the initiative to teach him his secret technique.
"You don't need to be surprised. If the higher-ups like you, they will naturally bring you to join the sect. If they don't like you, they will send experts to kill you. So, me passing on the second form to you won't change anything.
