"Ziyan, what are you doing? Why block us? The
newcomer was none other than Lord Yue of the Music Division of Miaole Immortal Palace, along with a group of elderly experts. Among them, an old woman shouted harshly at Zi Yan.
Lord Yue Si's expression was also grim. Recently, Ziyan had completely sealed off this place with the power of the Nanhai Qin to protect Long Chen with peace of mind, so no one could contact her.
Now that Long Chen had fully recovered, the people from Miaole Immortal Palace had just found her and rushed over immediately.
Long Chen frowned. These old guys really are acting all high and mighty. Their targeting of Ziyan made Long Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Do we really need to report everything to you? You guys really manage things quite widely, huh? Long Chen snorted coldly.
"Shut up! You little ...," the old woman snapped.
"Smack!"
Before she could finish, Long Chen's figure moved, appearing before her. With a wave of his hand, he slapped her hard across her spotted and wrinkled face, like a shoehorn.
"Pfft!"
The late-stage Fusion Heaven Realm expert was sent flying by Long Chen's palm, his jaw shattered, and he was sent flying far away.
"Long Chen... Ziyan
was shocked. Long Chen's temper was just too fiery. This man was an ancestor-level powerhouse, yet Long Chen attacked without hesitation.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
elder experts of Miao Le Immortal Palace were furious. Long Chen was too arrogant. They scolded Zi Yan, saying that was a family matter within Miao Le Immortal Palace. Long Chen had hurt someone and didn't take them seriously at all.
"You..."
A powerful figure from Miaole Immortal Palace flew into a rage. Just as an ancient flute was drawn, the cold Dragon Bone Evil Moon was already pressed against her forehead. As long as Long Chen made a thought, even if she had nine lives, she would die here.
"Long Chen, stop right now!"
Ziyan hurried over and grabbed Long Chen, afraid he might really kill the old woman. After all, once Long Chen got angry, he never cared about any consequences.
"Ziyan is a disciple of your Miaolexian Palace, but she's also my woman. I hope you'll be more polite and stop bossing her around—that would annoy me." Long Chen said coldly.
If Lord Le Si was giving Ziyan a cold shoulder, it would be one thing, but these old women were all arrogant, as if each of them could bully Ziyan a little, making Long Chen furious.
Two Ninth Heaven Fusion Heaven experts—one was sent flying by Long Chen's slap, the other had his life in his hands. In an instant, including Lord Lesi, everyone was stunned.
Only then did they realize that Long Chen had advanced to the seventh level of Fusion Heaven. His aura was vast as the sea, his blood energy surging to the heavens, and his power was hidden and unspoken. Once it erupted, it would destroy heaven and earth.
"Long Chen..."
Ziyan gently shook Long Chen's arm, a pleading expression appearing on her face. She knew Long Chen was feeling sorry for her.
Having known Long Chen for so long, he knew him very well. Long Chen never cared about what others thought of him, and even when wronged, he would just smile it off. He never took others' mockery or contempt to heart, but he absolutely would not allow anyone to bully those around him.
Especially every woman around him, who valued him more than his own life—that was his 'reverse scale'—touching it would make him furious.
When Long Chen said, "Ziyan is my woman," Ziyan was both shy and moved. Although her heart was already tied to Long Chen, up to now, that feeling had always been hazy. Now, saying this in front of everyone already made Ziyan's place in his heart.
Ziyan pulled Long Chen back, and Long Chen had no choice but to retract the Dragon Bone Evil Moon. The old woman's face turned extremely grim. Back then, she too was a figure who commanded the winds and clouds, commanding the wind and rain—who would dare disobey?
Now, she was defeated by a young boy with a single move. No, Long Chen hadn't even made a move before she was suppressed. She was both shocked and furious, her face full of resentment.
The old woman snorted coldly, turned around, and disappeared. Clearly, she couldn't stay here. At that moment, the old woman, her mouth covered in blood, wore a look of venomous resentment. She looked at Long Chen as if she was about to speak, as if about to curse. Long Chen glanced at her, and in that instant, it was as if death was staring at her. Her hair stood on end, her mouth opened a few times, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"Ziyan, we're worried about you. You disappeared without a trace without even saying goodbye, which made us anxious for days." Lord Le sighed.
"Ziyan admits her mistake, but the situation is urgent. Long Chen ...," Ziyan said with some guilt.
"I'm in seclusion and can't stand any disturbance, so I had Xie Yue activate the grand formation to block all contact." Long Chen said.
While Long Chen was healing his wounds, he instructed Ziyan not to tell Miaole Immortal Palace the location of this place.
For some reason, Long Chen really disliked the group of old women from Miaole Immortal Palace, and he could sense a murderous intent from them.
Because of Ziyan's situation, they hated Long Chen deeply. If they found out Long Chen was seriously injured, who knew if they might sneak up on him? Long Chen didn't dare take that risk.
Seeing Long Chen take the responsibility on himself, Lord Le Si didn't say much more. He looked at Long Chen and said, "
This matter is in the past. As long as you are safe, that's enough. After all, you are the future hope of the Tianwu Continent—you absolutely cannot be careless."
Now that you've advanced to the seventh level of Fusion Heaven, your strength has greatly increased. This is a good thing, and your chances of reclaiming your soul will greatly increase.
But don't blame me for being too talkative. Even if you've become stronger, you must still be cautious and not let your guard down. "Lord Le Si instructed.
"Lord Lesi, rest assured. We're about to head to the ancient battlefield and have made thorough preparations." Ziyan nodded and said.
Lord Le Si nodded and gently tidied Ziyan's hair, saying, "That's good. Long Chen is brave and decisive, and you are meticulous. With you two working together, I can trust you."
However, safety comes first. If things can't be done, retreat and figure out a way. Don't mess around. As long as you're here, there's always a chance. Got it? "
Disciple understands. Don't worry, we will definitely succeed." Ziyan was somewhat moved. Lord Le Si had devoted great effort to cultivating her over the years.
Her relationship with Long Chen also began to change because of Lord Lesi. Lord Le Si stood out against the opposition and supported their relationship. Over this matter, he even argued countless times with these old monsters who had just emerged from seclusion.
So Ziyan felt both grateful and endless guilt toward Lord Lesi. Right now, she only hoped that this great calamity would pass soon, so that Miaolexian Palace could find an outstanding successor, so she could leave without any attachments.
After bidding farewell to Lord Lesi, Long Chen and Ziyan quietly slipped into the ancient battlefield. But as soon as they stepped onto the battlefield, Long Chen's body swayed and he nearly stumbled, causing Ziyan to cry out in surprise.
