Elder Xun Sun, Long Chen

## Chapter Guide

Once everyone had returned to the monastery, all the elders had received a huge number of merit points as rewards. However, Elder Sun had obtained less than half of what the others had.

Elder Sun had gloomily returned to his immortal cave. The next day, a piece of news came that infuriated him even more. An Elder, who had fought remarkably during that battle, was replacing him as the Elder in charge of the Xuantian pavilion.

That news made him almost explode in fury. The monthly rations for Elders were split in accordance to their position. He had been in charge of the Xiantian pavilion for decades. He hadn't expected Tu Fang to be so vicious and take away that position.

He was now essentially a sinecure Elder. A sinecure Elder had no position and would get the lowest amount of rations.

Even amongst the other Elders of the monastery, he had been a high-ranking figure. The other Elders would all have to be courteous when speaking to him.

But now because of just an ‘accident', he had been suspended from his position. Without those resources, he would have to live sparingly and his cultivation would stall.

Chen then meets Elder Sun, who gets irritated.

"Are you looking to die?!" raged Elder Sun. Long Chen's insult of being a ‘negative person' was directed to those male cultivators who trained in Yin techniques, becoming neither Yin or Yang, ending up neither male nor female.

"Looking for crap? Correct, otherwise why would I be here? I came here precisely to look for a piece of crap like you!"

## Trade

"I want to make a trade with you." Long Chen said. An old stone appeared in his hand. There were some strange diagrams on it that released an ancient aura.

Elder Sun's pupils shrank the moment he saw that stone. He could tell that this stone was black zirconium.

"Tell me what you want. But remember, a trade has to be fair. Don't bother trying to ask for too much." Elder Sun wasn't a fool. He couldn't let Long Chen ask for too much, so he first spoke out to give himself an opportunity to haggle.

Long Chen handed over a sheet of paper. "Gather up everything on this page."

## Chapter Guide

Chen reaches the Qi Condensation realm.

From the Pill Emperor memories, he learns about the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.

Chen lives in Phoenix Cry Empire. Opposite to Long Chen was his father, Long Tianxiao. He was the strongest of his generation and with him guarding the barbarian border, even if the barbarian tribes were to savagely attack, they would not have the ability to step even half a foot into the Phoenix Cry Empire.

Long Tianxiao was the Phoenix Cry Empire's military god of this generation.

While his dad was away guarding the border, Zhou Yaoyang was bullying Chen's mother Mrs. Long.

One day, Li Hao runs into Chen, and Li tries to pick a fight.

Phoenix Cry Empire was currently in a golden age of martial arts. Basically, everyone practiced martial arts.

As Li is about to attack, the giant Shi Feng enters and offers to help Chen beat up Li.

Chen says he can take care of Li himself. Shi lends Chen his sword, and they head to the martial arena to battle.

Chu Yao asked, "Didn't you want to know why I call Wan-er big sister, and she also calls me big sister?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, in truth, we really are tied together by destiny. That's because we were both born in the same year, same month, and same day. And most inconceivable of all, we were both born three quarter-hours after midnight.

"So neither one of us really knows which one of us is older, and we just decided to both call each other big sister. How about that? I bet you never imagined that!" Chu Yao held Tang Wan-er's hand, winking at Long Chen.

Chen and Tang then return to Xuantian Monastery.

Long Chen fights Zhao Mingshan and the Evil Path.

After advancing to Tendon Transformation, his strength had completely transformed. He was now able to control his physical strength even more precisely.

The three Chosen were shocked. Even the three of them working together had been unable to injure Long Chen. Instead, they were knocked back a couple of steps because of his power.

In other words, Long Chen should be on the same level as them when they all used their full strength, despite the fact that they had a huge advantage due to their cultivation bases which were all in the late Tendon Transformation realm.

The Corrupt Chosen now fully understood why Long Chen had been ranked number two on their must-kill list, second only to Han Tianyu.

## Departure

Three days later, Long Chen walked out of his immortal cave. Many people, including Ye Zhiqiu's faction, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and five other core disciples arrived to see him off and show their support.

LC flies off on Hawk Eagle with an elder to the Graveyard of the exiled.

Tang Wan-er returned to her immortal cave and saw a piece of paper.

The paper told Tang Wan-er that the name of these medicinal pills was the Tendon Nourishing Pill.

Tang Wan-er burst into tears. Qing Yu walked over and patted her on the shoulders, consoling her, saying Long Chen will definitely return.

## Feng Hai

Elder Sun talks with Feng Hai, asking him to steal LC's Space ring and Soul Locking Pearl.

## Graveyard

Sitting atop the flying Magical Beast, Long Chen realized that they were flying straight north. All kinds of arduous lands passed beneath them. High mountains, thick forests, deep winding gorges...

However, Long Chen had chosen exile because he had no other choice. These countless third rank Magical Beasts would allow him to gather Magical Beast essence blood. It was an excellent place for him to make the Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood.

In the past three days, he had not only refined the Tendon Nourishing Pills, but also the medicinal powders required for the Ten Thousand Beast Essence Blood. Everything was arranged for him. All he needed was Magical Beast essence blood, and he'd be able to make it, allowing him to quickly increase his cultivation base.

That was the reason he had chosen exile. This was the only way for him to quickly increase his cultivation base. Otherwise, he would forever be unable to catch up.

At dawn the next day, Chen and the Elder arrived at a huge wasteland. Huge rugged stone mountains littered this land. A gloomy sinister scent filled this place.

They had arrived at the rubble wasteland, the graveyard of the exiled.

There is a fight with law enforcers.

Law enforcers represented the monastery. No disciples were able to resist them. If they did, their endings could only be miserable.

Long Chen was about to say something when senior apprentice-brother Wu rushed to say, "Reporting to Elder Sun, this person looked down on the monastery's rules, injuring another in a fighting-prohibited region. Disciple went to arrest him but he violently resisted. Everything is all his fault Elder."

That Elder Sun icily glanced at Long Chen and snorted, "Can someone so violent and impertinent become a genius? If such a person doesn't suffer a bit, it's impossible for them to mature. Cane him eighty times and imprison him for a month."

## Flame Salamander Neidan

Long Chen took out the Flame Salamander's Neidan and gently began to drip drops of that liquid onto the Neidan.

The egg-shaped Neidan began to crazily absorb the medicinal liquid. Its original white color began to darken into a blood-red.

As the Neidan's color changed, a terrifying heat began to circulate within it.

By the time all the medicinal liquid had been absorbed, the Neidan had become extremely bright. The fluctuations coming from within it were incredibly intense, like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

Finding a secluded place, he took out the Neidan and swallowed the Fire Gathering Pill he had just refined.

As soon as that medicinal pill entered his stomach, it immediately dissolved. A light heat flowed through his meridians.

Long Chen looked within him and saw his meridians had been plated with a layer of gold. It was a protective membrane for the insides of his meridians.

That was why Long Chen had never absorbed the Flame Salamander's Neidan up to this point.

Even someone as powerful as him didn't dare absorb it without this medicinal pill's assistance. A Flame Salamander's Neidan, whose energy had barely been used at all, contained a flame that could heavily injure his meridians.

It was a third rank Magical Beast's beast flame, and it was also number ninety-seven on the beast flame rankings. Long Chen didn't dare be careless.

Furthermore, what Long Chen wanted wasn't just the beast flame. He wanted something even stronger than a regular beast flame.

Taking a deep breath, he adjusted himself into his peak state. Placing his hands atop the Flame Salamander's Neidan, he began to circulate his spiritual qi, absorbing the violent energy within the Neidan.

Chen has returned. Everybody is shocked. Many including Ye Zhiqiu are glad.

Elder Sun couldn't even believe his eyes.

"Feng Hai failed? That's impossible, absolutely impossible! Feng Hai is at the top of the mid Tendon Transformation realm; there's no way he couldn't kill Long Chen! For Long Chen to return but him not to, there must have been some sort of accident. Most likely, he encountered a powerful fourth rank Magical Beast and was killed."

DONG!

The bell rang out, and all the core disciples rushed out, grabbing as many flags as they could. But Long Chen saw that everyone was much faster than before. In just a couple of breaths, all the flags had been taken.

It appeared that they had learned greatly from their experience. These people were already used to this kind of competition. Long Chen had only managed to get five flags before there were none left on the ground.

Once all the flags disappeared, there was immediately a group that rushed to the edge.

That was Guan Wennan's neutral alliance. He would only watch. But this time, he fled further away than before, obviously afraid of being drawn into their fight.

Ye Zhiqiu, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Luo Cang all drew closer to Tang Wan-er. They formed up into a battle formation extremely smoothly and quickly.

They had only just set up their formations when Gu Yang charged over with a heaven-shaking roar.

"Guo Ran," called out Long Chen.

"Yes, boss!"

"Remember, when they come to give you flags in a bit, if they aren't kneeling on the ground, we won't accept them. Do you understand?"

Long Chen then charged out with his bone blade. Following Long Chen, Tang Wan-er, Ye Zhiqiu, and the others all rushed out as well.

A huge battle was about to commence!

"Congratulations on awakening your ancestral marks."

Long Chen's words were very light, but they all heard them. Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu were looking at them in complete disbelief.

"Awakened... ancestral marks...?"

They couldn't believe their eyes. At some point, a faint rune had appeared over Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Luo Cang's foreheads.

Long Chen extended his hand. Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Luo Cang also extended a hand, putting them on top of each other.

"Brothers together are indefatigable!"

To most people, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Luo Cang's actions were completely foolish. It was just like how they had still decided to ally with the Heaven Earth Faction despite Long Chen being exiled. Back then, the chance of him returning alive had been slim to none. But even after being suppressed by their powerful opponents, they hadn't abandoned the Heaven Earth Alliance.

Those kinds of ‘fools' really were few and far between. But Long Chen's method would only work for such fools. Those ‘smart' people would never be able to use this method.

Once the three of them awakened their ancestral marks, they stayed within the Heaven Earth Faction. That way they could stay with Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu and borrow their assistance to quickly learn how to properly control their ancestral marks' power.

As for Long Chen, he didn't stand on courtesy and took all five factions' points to go the Xuantian pavilion and buy a huge amount of medicinal ingredients.

During the next period of time, Long Chen refined over five hundred Yuan Spirit Pills.

Yin Luo is beaten badly, but escapes via a teleportation portal.

But before that Mo Nian and Chen manage to get Yin's leg.

## The Hand

"This little fellow really was worthy of being a top expert of the Corrupt path. His body contains Xiantian essence blood, making this leg quite the treasure." Mo Nian didn't have any hesitation and picked up Yin Luo's leg.

He was just about to say something when the teleportation portal that had been about to shrink to nothing suddenly expanded violently.

A heaven-encompassing hand appeared, and a large finger hundreds of meters long jabbed down on the two of them.

It was as if the entire world had frozen. Even all their breathing and heartbeats had stopped. In front of that hand, they could only wait to die.

It looked just like a huge divinity's hand. Just its finger almost caused heaven and earth to break down. If Long Chen and Mo Nian were hit, not even their bones would remain.

Mo Nian suddenly roared and a mark appeared in the space between his eyebrows. Mo Nian just barely managed to resist the pressure enough to touch his spatial ring.

A scale half a foot long appeared in Mo Nian's hand. As soon as it appeared, Mo Nian spat out a mouthful of blood onto it.

The scale instantly absorbed his blood and grew larger, becoming a huge shield. At the same time, it released a green light to protect Long Chen.

That scale came from an ancient, terrifying Magical Beast. Its defensive strength was shocking.

An expert of the Talisman Dao had refined and carved runes onto this scale to increase its defensive strength even further. It had been given to Mo Nian by one of his elders for protection. Even experts on the level of Gui Yan wouldn't be able to break it.

That huge hand descended, breaking apart the vast sky. Long Chen felt a terrifying energy hit him, and the green scale instantly shattered.

Space seemed to have torn apart. Long Chen felt as if his body was about to be pulled apart along with it, and he and Mo Nian shot out like two cannonballs.

They tumbled through the air for several kilometers before stopping. The two of them both vomited blood, intense pain wracking their bodies. They felt like they were about to collapse.

That large hand was too powerful. If it weren't for that treasure Mo Nian's elder had gifted him, the two of them would have been crushed to pieces.

And yet, even with that powerful scale, the two of them had still almost died. Long Chen was absolutely horrified. Just what kind of monster was that? The entire battlefield had been suppressed to the point that no one was moving.

Seeing that this first attack hadn't killed them, that large hand suddenly formed a huge heavenly palm in the air and viciously slammed down at the two of them.

"Wu Li, your claw has really stretched far today."

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, sounding as it had come from above the nine heavens. A sword cut apart the blue dome of the sky, slashing down on that hand.

LC learns about the Wind Spirit Pavilion.

Hearing that Meng Qi had also entered the Jiuli secret realm, a fire burned within Long Chen. Although his interaction with Meng Qi had been short, as time had passed, his longing for her had only intensified.

Long Chen learned that Meng Qi had also entered the Forest of Darkness in search of opportunities. However, the Forest of Darkness was huge, and he had no idea where she was.

After asking some more, he realized Qi Shixiong knew nothing more that interested him. A brick beat him unconscious and also broke all four of his limbs. This was the same treatment he had given Jiang Yifan. Long Chen tossed a buck-naked senior apprentice-brother Qi down the well.

As for what those two naked men would do down in that well, Long Chen didn't care. He wasn't in the mood to deal with the two of them. In any case, he had already fed them medicines, and they didn't dare yell. They should not even think about being able to leave for now.

Once more sealing the well, Long Chen patted his hands and began entering deeper into the Forest of Darkness.

Long Chen dragged back Qi Xin, startling the people.

Seeing Qi Xin like this, people gasped. A core disciple, an existence that most of them could only look up to, had been turned into this state.

Ignoring the bystanders, he walked in front of everyone and threw Qi Xin to the ground. He said to his people:

"Today, I have something to ask of my brothers. But this matter could affect your position within the monastery, and you might even be expelled-" started Long Chen gravely.

"Long Chen, there's no need to say so much. Since you've called us brothers, your issues are our issues. Tell us what you need. Even if you want us to cut down this statue, we'll do it for you." Luo Cang cut him off.

Although Luo Cang's words were a bit direct, they represented everyone's thoughts. In their hearts, Long Chen was a true hero, straightforward, just, and upright.

He was like a Great Peng spreading its wings to fly, trying to shake off the bindings of heaven and earth, shattering all restrictions to be completely free.

Long Chen led his alliance straight towards Oddpeak Pavilion.

## Chapter Guide

The Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival starts. The Phoenix Cry Empire's first princess makes a stage appearance, and everybody cheers.

Being a nation's princess was also pretty sorrowful. It was like having to live your whole life as a cricket in a jar.

That was a life of hidden fighting all day and night. But thinking about himself, he had also ended up in a life like that.

If you didn't suppress others, then you would simply be trampled on. Being stepped on by those above you was something that just happened, but more importantly, they would crush you firmly to death.

Whether this had to do with enmity, right and wrong, etc., didn't matter. Perhaps this struggle was just the most primitive of man's nature.

The next one was Chu Yao's lantern. Chen kept his eyes wide open, afraid to miss a single detail.

First, a few fireworks lit up the sky, accompanied by cheering.

Then immediately after, a huge dragon kite whistled through the air.

At the same time, beside the huge dragon was a colorful phoenix with gorgeous wings. Golden powder sprinkled from its wings, just as if a real phoenix had descended upon the earth.

Along with the scattering powder, the dragon and phoenix shone, making it seem as if everyone had entered a world of legends.

They slowly fluttered down to the earth. From the dragon's mouth came a large sphere of white light that burst open, sending streamers flying.

From those ribbons, a beautiful woman dressed in an ancient costume slowly appeared, shapely and leisurely, a beauty that made you never want to stop looking at her.

The entire crowd erupted in acclaim when the third princess appeared. Many of the young men had heard of the third princess's beauty before. Hers was a beauty that could cause the downfall of an empire.

Her eyes wandered over the crowd. Suddenly, her eyes brightened when she saw Long Chen, and she tossed a small ball which slowly flew out towards him.

Long Chen reached out his hand to catch it and found that the ball had a small tag on it.

The entire crown immediately went silent, all of them staring at Long Chen. The Empress Dowager was also startled, but she didn't say anything.

But the person whose expression was most unsightly was definitely the Grand Xia's Xia Changfeng. Although he tried to appear natural and at ease, his uncontrollable anger turned his face green.

The Empress Dowager had already decided to marry off Chu Yao to Xia Changfeng, but her display today of the dragon and phoenix had obvious significance. Moreover, that ball was thrown directly towards Long Chen.

Normally, a ball didn't have any special meaning, but that was not the same when added with the display of the lanterns. It was the exact same custom as in ancient times when maidens threw embroidered balls to pick their husband.

Xia Changfeng gets really jealous at Chen and bursts out in public.

Wei Cang then challenges Chen to an alchemist duel with Xia Baichi.

Chen accepts.

Tang Wan-er lightly rubbed Long Chen's cheek. There was a bit of dirt as well as some stubble now.

But those things actually set off Long Chen's resoluteness. In the past two months, it seemed Long Chen had once more matured a great deal.

## Afterbattle

Qing Yu's cooking skill really was top-notch. Furthermore, she had also added in many vegetables to the dishes, which made Long Chen who had constantly been eating meat to become like a ravenous wolf.

Seeing Long Chen wildly devour his food, Qing Yu was delighted. She and Tang Wan-er ate together with him.

After eating, Long Chen felt he really was unable to stuff anything more down. Even just opening his mouth, he felt his throat was still full of her delicious food.

Long Chen belched and patted his stomach, completely satisfied. Suddenly, he cast a vague glance at Tang Wan-er.

"Sister Wan-er, I've got something fun to do with you that you mentioned before." Long Chen smiled at Tang Wan-er mysteriously.

He was a dead man.

Feng Hai then reveals his Soul Locking Pearl and says he was sent here by Elder Xun Sun.

LC spends the rest of his time in the Graveyard of the exiled slaying Magical Beasts and cultivating.

## Advancement

LC absorbs the spider's essence blood and reaches the Tendon Transformation realm.

Long Chen suddenly realized that something was off. He realized his blood had once more returned to its depleted state. That was the situation that would occur every time he advanced Heavenstages in the Blood Condensation realm.

Each time he advanced, his body's blood vessels would widen slightly, increasing his blood capacity.

So once the vessels were enlarged, even though he didn't lose any blood, he would not be at his max capacity any longer.

That would occur every time he purified his blood and advanced. But this was the tenth time now.

In other words, normally he should have reached the Tendon Transformation realm. But seeing what was going on, his heart began to pound.

The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art's Blood Condensation realm also has thirteen levels.

In order to advance out of the ninth Heavenstage, he had killed a total of thirty-seven third rank Magical Beasts. Only then had he gathered enough essence blood.

He had basically killed all the Magical Beasts he could within a range of hundreds of miles. Then according to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art's increase in difficulty, wouldn't he need to kill seventy third rank Magical Beasts to reach the eleventh Heavenstage?

Then the twelfth Heavenstage would require one hundred forty Magical Beasts, and the thirteenth Heavenstage would require two hundred eighty. Counting on his fingers, Long Chen's excitement rapidly deflated.

He would need to kill at least five hundred third rank Magical Beasts before being able to reach the Tendon Transformation realm.

The level of difficulty for a Blood Condensation rookie to kill five hundred third rank Magical Beasts was essentially impossible. He would need to hunt forever to do that.

Long Chen angrily cursed. He had no Spirit Blood, Spirit Bone, or Spirit Root, so the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was his only option. After cursing for a while, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

His blood also changed color, with specks of gold appearing, looking like golden sand.

Magical Beasts below the mid third rank were probably almost useless to him now. At the very least, he would need to kill late third rank Magical Beasts.

But most likely only fourth rank Magical Beast essence blood would really let his cultivation base explosively grow again.

LC then stands atop a tall boulder and looked towards the south. That was the direction of the monastery. It was time to return home.

Elder Sun wishes to punish Long Chen for killing many of the Bloodnet Sect leaders, but Tu Fang stops Sun, saying that Chen is in charge of all the troops, and what matters is the final result of the battle against the Evil Path.

Moreover, in the previous chapter Yao Qixiang testified that:

"They planned on getting revenge on Long Chen, borrowing another person's blade to kill Long Chen's father. In fact, they were willing to allow an entire city to be massacred by the Corrupt disciples for that.

"Sometimes I suspect that your sect must have come from the Corrupt path. Corrupt disciples are vicious, but even they aren't as insidious as you guys!" said an Elder. He obviously had some enmity with the Bloodnet Sect.

Hua Yu also icily said, "I can testify that your Bloodnet Sect's degenerates deserved their deaths for their crimes!"

Ever since Long Chen had killed Wu Qi, Elder Sun had seen the sect leader look favorably on Long Chen more and more.

That was definitely not a good thing for him. He had already targeted Long Chen multiple times, completely offending Long Chen.

Now as Long Chen's strength continued to grow, Cang Ming, Ling Yunzi, and Tu Fang were all beginning to treat him more importantly.

## Evil path experts

"The Corrupt path's experts are arriving!"

Tu Fang greets Gui Yan (old demon).

That senior was extremely tall, probably over seven feet tall. However, he was completely emaciated. He was essentially just skin and bones.

He was just a skeleton with an extra layer of skin. There was practically no blood or flesh.

However, his aura was incredibly terrifying. Even from this distance, just looking at him could make a person's soul hurt.

"So, Tu Fang, you haven't died yet. Good, good!" That skeleton-like old man laughed sinisterly.

Despite the distance between them, his voice rang out clearly in everyone's ears.

However, his voice was like needles stabbing into their eardrums. It was like even his voice possessed an offensive power.

"Old demon Gui Yan, if even an old ghost like you still hasn't died, then how could I possibly die?" responded Tu Fang icily.

The two of them were old opponents who had represented the Righteous and Corrupt paths of this area for many years. Both their cultivation bases were extremely similar, and so it was difficult for either of them to deal with the other.

Chen and 5000 other Righteous Path disciples then appear.

Just from those tattoos, it was obvious what side this person was on. Only the Corrupt path liked to tattoo such fiendish images on themselves.

Gu Yang defeats him.

Long Chen smiled and took the elder's spatial ring and finds Pure Bitter Earth Root and Bloodfiend Vermillion Fruit.

Wang Luyang and Marquis Ying bid-war for the Flesh Bone Restoration Pill.

Even Long Chen felt his heart jumping wildly. It appeared this world had lost many pill formulas. Those ancient pill formulas in his Pill Sovereign memories were equivalent to an endless treasure trove.

But he also felt a bit of worry. Just a Flesh Bone Restoration Pill could cause this much of an uproar.

If others were to learn that this medicinal pill had come from him, that would definitely be dangerous. Perhaps he had been too reckless this time.

But since it was already like this, regret was useless. Now he could only hope that the Huayun Pavilion's reputation would protect this secret.

LC arrives back at the small alley to find Brother Dao and several other men trying to seize Xiao Cui's home.

But Fang Chang arrives and slaps Brother Dao across the face.

LC then introduces himself as Long San.

"Haha, brother Long San! I'm bigger than you, so you can call me Big Brother Fang. In Pill Yang Prefecture, as long as you mention my name, I guarantee no one will dare to bully you!" said junior master Fang confidently.

Long Chen was startled. This confidence and the fact that he dared to beat the Huo family's dogs... could it be that he was from the Pill Tower's Fang family?

Thinking of that, Long Chen couldn't help slapping his leg in excitement. This was practically perfect. He had just been thinking of how he was supposed to muddle his way into the Pill Tower. This blessing had come too suddenly.

Long Chen had already asked around. Pill Yang Prefecture had three families that controlled it. They were the Huo family, the Fang family, and the Chai family. They were the ones that controlled the Pill Tower.

LC then demonstrates his own Face-slapping technique.

"As a law enforcer, you actually publicly defrauded others, entrapping those of your same sect. Gather your things and return to your family," sighed Elder Tu Fang.

Everyone was shocked. Just like that, one of their senior apprentice-brothers would be expelled? That was too severe!

"Elder, I..." That person was completely shocked.

"No need to say anything. As a member of the Righteous path, you should act openly and upright. But your action just now is a grave offense.

"This is different from breaking the monastery's rules. Your conduct has already crossed into the Corrupt path. The monastery cannot accept someone like you. If the monastery is still within your heart, reflect upon yourself once you return home on how to be an upright cultivator," said Tu Fang.

That person sighed. He wanted to say something, but after stealthily glancing at senior apprentice-brother Wu, he nodded and left.

"Wu Qi, you just came out of imprisonment less than a month ago. It seems you didn't properly reflect during that time," said Tu Fang icily.

Yin Wushang and Yin Qing leave and commit incest with each other.

Meanwhile, Shui Wuhen meets Long Chen.

"You brat, how are you so brazen? How could you threaten Yin Wushang and even say you'll exterminate the Yin family? Do you know how powerful the ancient families are? Their inheritance stretches back tens of thousands of years, and even after so many experiences and hardships, they still haven't declined. You want to exterminate their family? Why not just say you'll exterminate the very heavens?!" Within a private room, Shui Wuhen was resentfully rebuking Long Chen.

Just how strong was the Yin family? Even the Xuantian Dao Sect wouldn't dare to easily say they would exterminate an ancient family. Long Chen really was too brazen.

"He's angry? He actually has the face to be angry? That woman from the Yin family caused so much trouble, causing Lu Fang-er to die, causing us to not know if Ye Zhiqiu is alive or dead, implicating so many of my brothers. What is he so mad about?

"Their ancient family really must be a bunch of spoiled idiots. My words today weren't to intimidate them. If they dare cause any more trouble for me, I will definitely exterminate the Yin family. It's not like I don't have experience," raged Long Chen.

"Experience...? You mean... the Wind Spirit Pavilion...?" Shui Wuhen looked at him with disbelief.

Shui then teaches LC about Celestials.

"Leave the final round to me."

Following that indifferent voice, a man lightly jumped onto the martial stage.

Even Tu Fang's expression changed slightly. He had actually made an oversight. Originally, he had thought that this person was just an ordinary Favored.

But now that he jumped onto the martial stage, just from his arrogant will, he could immediately see the shocking truth.

"Chosen-level disciple!"

It was obvious that this person was a powerful Chosen, or there was no way he would possess such a powerful aura.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Yifan, a Chosen. You should properly remember my name, as just knowing it will be your greatest honor in the future."

His voice was extremely indifferent. Somehow it didn't seem to contain any contempt or ridicule, yet still gave him a grand and high feeling that made them feel even more uncomfortable.

Tang Wan-er's expression was icy cold. She was just about to reply when Long Chen pulled her back and looked at Jiang Yifan carefully.

"Do you really want to have a decisive battle with me? If we do, someone will die. Think about it carefully!"

Time had passed quickly. It had already been a month since the Jiuli secret realm had opened. Who knew just how many experts had entered.

People had spent years exploring the Jiuli secret realm. There were seven entrances, with the Righteous path controlling three, and the Corrupt path controlling four.

But there weren't really just seven, because the Jiuli secret realm was extremely mysterious, and it was said to hide itself in a separate space from reality.

There were many smaller entrances in the Su Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures. Those openings were controlled and hidden by some smaller powers.

However, those smaller entrances were at most able to accept a couple of dozen people before closing. So, in addition to those powers hiding them well, the major powers didn't care about them enough to fight over them.

So there would always be countless experts entering the Jiuli secret realm each time. Those people who slipped in through the smaller entrances were all looked down upon by the other members of the Righteous path.

But even if they were considered weaklings, they still had to wear insignias on their robes that proved they were disciples of the Righteous path.

With that insignia, they would be chased and killed by the Corrupt path, but without it, they would be chased by disciples of both the Righteous and Corrupt paths.

## News

Meanwhile, the news of Chen's encounter with the woman and Yin Luo had spread throughout the realm.

"They did very well. This way, Long Chen will never be able to wash away his accusations no matter what he does. Hopefully, he wasn't killed by Yin Luo. It'd be best if he is personally killed by brother Tianyu."

That woman was precisely the Chosen who had been by Han Tianyu's side, Yin Wushuang. She was one of Han Tianyu's faithful worshippers.

Long Chen uses his saber to slice off one of Zhao Changxing's arms.

A huge wind blade slashed through his back, cutting him into two pieces.

His upper body flew through the air and landed far away. Only then did Zhao Changxing see that a huge Snow Wolf was behind him, staring icily at him.

Long Chen smiled mockingly. Devil Decapitator was truly powerful. But it was also extremely exhausting to use. Even just using it normally required him to bring out his full strength. It was extremely taxing on both his physical strength and spiritual energy.

After he had tested out how powerful Devil Decapitator was, Zhao Changxing no longer posed any interest to him. He was also disinclined to handle him directly.

Little Snow was connected to his soul, so he naturally knew what Long Chen was thinking. He had sent out a formless wind blade, cutting him apart.

Zhao Changxing had been too furious, practically insane, and all of his attention had been focused on Long Chen. He hadn't even realized that Little Snow had been behind him.

A grand Bone Forging expert was killed just like that.

"Yin Luo, lead your Corrupt path's experts to kill Long Chen and his friends, and I, Huo Wufang, will owe you a favor!"

Huo Wufang's voice reverberated throughout the battlefield. Those Righteous disciples that weren't fighting yet were completely filled with fury.

To order Corrupt disciples to kill Righteous disciples was a serious interference with the upcoming Righteous and Corrupt battle. That was a grave violation of the Pill Tower's neutral position.

"Huo Wufang, you contemptible man, you will be condemned by the entire Righteous path!" One of them finally couldn't endure it and cursed straight at him.

The Corrupt disciples all let out a loud confirmation. The call of tens of thousands of Corrupt disciples shook the nine heavens and could be clearly heard for hundreds of miles.

Mo Nian and the others' hearts sank immediately. No one had expected Huo Wufang to commit such a grave sin to kill Long Chen. They had really underestimated how contemptible he was.

"Huo Wufang, you are courting death! You aren't afraid of the Pill Tower's punishment?! You aren't afraid of being attacked by the entire Righteous path?!" Zheng Wenlong furiously roared while fighting.

Huo Wufang and the others' expressions changed, and they hastily turned back, only to see four huge, violet birds appear in the sky.

Tang Wan-er talks about her Dao-mark and thanks Chen for helping her become a favored.

Holding Chu Yao's hands, Long Chen began to speak of proper things. "Yao-er, do you really have to return to Skywood Palace so soon? Didn't you say you could stay at the Xuantian Monastery for a period? I really hate to part with you so soon after we have reunited."

Chu Yao reddened slightly and gently caressed Long Chen's cheek. "I also hate to part with you. But if I want to protect you, I need to constantly increase my strength.

"This time, once I return to Skywood Palace, my master has promised me that she will transmit the first volume of the Skywood Sacred Canon to me.

"That's our Skywood Palace's absolute secret tome. It is incredibly powerful, and my master said that if I can master the Skywood Sacred Canon, my strength will reach an unprecedented level!"

Chu Yao tells Chen about the Jiuli Secret Realm.

"In order to let you cultivate with your mind at ease, I'll tell you a certain secret." A charming light appeared within Chu Yao's beautiful eyes.
