Chapter 801: Final Breakthrough
“Die!” Feng Zhilin immediately swung the Shapeless Whip at Long Chen.
Due to her rage, she moved very quickly. Bai Lan and the others could have definitely blocked it, but they did not help because Long Chen could block a minor attack like that himself.
The Shapeless Whip was something that previously terrified Long Chen, but that was no longer the case. Relying on his Seven Star Body and his own sensing abilities, he reached out and grabbed the Shapeless Whip!
Snap!
The power of the Shapeless Whip was not to be underestimated, yet Long Chen managed to catch it. However, he sustained small cuts on his palm, though they were nothing major to him as they would recover quickly.
At the same time, he laughed coldly and pulled abruptly. Feng Zhilin yelled in surprise and was tugged into the air. She could not resist the force coming from Long Chen’s arm at all!
When did this brat become so strong? Feng Zhilin was stunned. The Shapeless Whip was one of the best treasures of the Wind clan, so she had no choice but to grip it with all her might. When she was worried she would lose it, Wu Guangyu grabbed her waist. She felt a strong force pulling on her tiny waist, and she was carried back towards the group.
“Idiot.” When Wu Guangyu exerted all his strength to pull her, Long Chen gently let go. As a result, Wu Guangyu and Feng Zhilin fell on top of one another. Though they did not truly fall flat, they ended up looking very clumsy.
Feng Zhilin was bad-tempered, and this was the first time he had hugged her like that. Her whole body heated up as she was very embarrassed due to all the people present, and she quickly pushed Wu Guangyu away. “Get off me!”
Wu Guangyu stood up with a cold gaze without saying anything. However, based on his glare, he was quite angry that Feng Zhilin had acted in a manner that did not give him face at all. But he did not express it.Long Chen had played the two prodigies of the Divine and Wind clans just like that.
His performance today was extraordinary. The youths of the Thunder and Demon clans were filled with admiration for him.
“Long Chen, are you alright?”
“Big Brother, you’re fine, right?”
The sisters, Suxue and Suyan, were both beautiful girls. In contrast to Feng Zhilin’s cold arrogance, Suxue was sexy and seductive, while Suyan was pure and attractive. One on the left and one on the right, the sisters each stood next to Long Chen and showered him with concern. Everyone who saw him was jealous.
The three of them interacted harmoniously and looked like they were made for each other. When compared to Wu Guangyu and Feng Zhilin, a stark contrast could be felt. This filled Wu Guangyu with rage.
“Alright, don’t embarrass us anymore. We’ll meet at the Eternal Battlefield.” When the Divine patriarch, Wu Lian, saw this, she showed no expression and immediately led the Divine Wind Faction away. Feng Zhilin had not only failed to teach Long Chen a lesson, she didn’t even get her things back from him, so she was naturally unwilling to leave. However, while she dared disobey Feng Qing’s commands, she did not dare disobey Wu Lian. She knew how terrifying the woman was.
That was why she could only glare at Long Chen with seething hatred, then leave sulking.
Very soon, the Divine Wind faction left Heavenly Wood City. Once they were gone, Bai Lan finally asked all the bystanders to leave.
There had been enmity between the Thunder Demon and Divine Wind Factions for a long time. In the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, the Divine and Wind clans presented themselves as the righteous ones, feeding the citizens of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory lies about how the Thunder Demon Faction was evil and satanic. Today, Long Chen had made them embarrass themselves in a huge way, and most importantly, they had to swallow their anger and leave after the consecutive humiliations. It was an amazing feeling.
They liked Long Chen even more now.
They suddenly realized that this youth who had suddenly risen to prominence also had a very cute side to him, though with two princesses by his side, he still made other people look less attractive.
Under Bai Lan’s commands, they slowly departed, leaving behind only the important figures from both clans.
“That woman Wu Lian left very quickly. This means she was really angry. If she stayed, she probably would have attacked by now. Long Chen, Long Chen, you’re no simple kid. Although Wu Lian and I have been rivals for a long time, you are the only person who could make her angry,” Bai Lan said with a chuckle, unaffected by the tense ordeal.
Everyone else had heavier expressions.
Lei Ji elaborated, “Wu Lian is a terrifying woman, and she is truly talented and psychotic. Don’t underestimate her because she is a woman. Few people are as good as she is in terms of technique and discipline. Now that she is targeting you, you shouldn’t stray too far from us, or trouble will come.”
Is that woman really that powerful? Even Lei Ji had such high praise for her. Long Chen made a mental note.
Of course, even if they could do it all over again, he would do the same.
Mo Xiaolang had left him once again. However, Long Chen was much more at ease now that he knew that his brother was safe and received many benefits from Wu Guangyu. The next thing Long Chen had to do was focus on his cultivation and work towards breaking through to the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage.
“Father, Wu Guangyu is at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and has the divine sword, the Azure Lotus, which is on the same level as Big Brother’s weapon. Now Big Brother has made him angry, so will he kill Big Brother when you guys go to the Eternal Battlefield?” Suyan asked hurriedly, as the problem plagued her. Her small eyebrows were furrowed, making her look adorable.
This was indeed a problem.
The Sect Elders knew that Long Chen was very strong, but Wu Guangyu was clearly stronger. The grudge had been formed, and with their vengeful personalities, they would never let Long Chen go if they had a chance to kill him at the Eternal Battlefield.
Bai Lan looked at Long Chen with a smile. Long Chen had to answer this question on his own.
Long Chen grinned and said, “Yan’er, don’t worry. They’re all stupid, and even though they’re strong, they aren’t a match for me. I’ll catch them all, line them up, and make them arch their backs so that you can spank them all in a row! Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!”
Suyan burst into laughter, and the worries in her heart disappeared. She then said, “You’re evil!”
It was time for them to head back, but Long Chen had figured out a new cultivation method today, which was to use a domain to condition his body. After he told Lei Ji and Bai Lan about it, they were very willing to help him out.
Lei Ji smiled and said, “Brother Bai is crazy. If he releases his domain, you’ll be squashed to death. Let me do it. Under my control, you’ll still be able to practice your punching routine at least. There are more than twenty days left. From today onwards, I shall use my domain to support your cultivation.”
“Thank you, Patriarch Lei,” Long Chen said gratefully.
“Don’t… Don’t be so formal. Just call me ‘Uncle Lei.’ You’re marrying Old Bai’s daughter after all,” said Lei Ji with a grin.
Long Chen was a little speechless. He knew that Lei Ji was only joking, so he did not take it to heart.
“Alright. I was just messing with you. You saw it today; the Divine and Wind clans are bold and arrogant enough to come to our territory demanding things. If we hadn’t intimidated them today, they would think that we are doormats. However, the conflict between our factions must be resolved one day, which will happen at the Eternal Battlefield. You are no match for Wu Guangyu now, so for the glory of the Thunder Demon Faction, you must work hard until then.”
Long Chen nodded and asked, “Where is the Eternal Battlefield?”
“The Ancient Graveyard is divided into five main districts. If the Ancient Graveyard was circular, the five districts would be five equal fifths, forming a circular fan shape with the Eternal Battlefield as a circle in the center. It is a desolate land and has no relations to the five elements. It is not large. The Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition will be held there,” explained Lei Ji.
Long Chen understood.
After that, he spent his days with Lei Ji. His domain’s pressure did indeed help Long Chen cultivate faster.
Over twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
Long Chen treated Suyan for the last time. After this day, Suyan would be truly healed.
However, the identities of those who injured her were still a mystery.
Who were those six mysterious people? They were so powerful. How had they come to the Ancient Graveyard? What were their objectives?
What mysterious power controlled the Ancient Graveyard?
Everything was unknown.
Long Chen was clear about his goal, which was to get to the Three Royal Territories. However, where was the passageway?
Half a year had passed since he arrived at the Ancient Graveyard.
There was half a year left until the closure of the Ancient Graveyard. He would have to head back if he could not find the passageway to the Three Royal Territories within this time.
Of course, he would not be willing to go back.
“Big Brother, are you going to leave now that I have recovered.?” Suyan tugged at his sleeve with tears in her eyes.
“Who said that? There are six months left until the Ancient Graveyard closes,” said Long Chen with a smile, patting her soft cheek.
“Mm, I thought you’d leave to search for Sister Ling Xi,” Suyan said with a smile.
Although he was not leaving, he needed to go to the Eternal Battlefield, and it was time to depart. A portion of the masters from the Thunder and Demon clans stayed behind to guard Heavenly Wood City, while the others followed Bai Lan to the Eternal Battlefield.
Suyan was still young, so it was not appropriate for her to go. Therefore, she was left in Heavenly Wood City. Suxue was going to participate in the competition, so she left with Long Chen. Traveling with them were three Sect Elders from the Demon clan and a few of the Seven Thunder Elders.
At this time, Long Chen met the two participants from the Thunder clan.
