Long Chen found Luo Bing and Luo Ning. By then, both had advanced to the Four Extremes Realm in Crane Ming Valley, and both had captured a sixth-grade blood talisman that they successfully absorbed and refined it.
Luo Bing actually grabbed a seventh-grade rune, but unfortunately, she lacked the ability to subdue it and wisely chose to let go.
Afterwards, it proved her choice was very wise. Absorbing that sixth-grade rune had already drained most of her strength, and she nearly failed midway—truly a dangerous situation.
Fortunately, both of them had obtained one sixth-grade rune and three fourth-grade runes, which made them so excited they couldn't even describe it.
Long Chen found the two. They had just emerged from seclusion and had stabilized their realm at the first level of the Four Extremes.
Long Chen found the two and thought they would be excited, but unexpectedly, their eyes darted away. Luo Bing said, "
Long Chen, your eye injury hasn't healed yet. How about a little later?"
"What's wrong?" Inconvenient? Long Chen was momentarily stunned.
"It's not that it's inconvenient... Luo Bing suddenly became a bit hesitant.
"Ah, let me explain. The Luo family is beset from all sides. They don't want you involved, so they don't owe you even more favors..." Luo Ning said bluntly, very directly.
"Attacked from both front and rear?" Long Chen couldn't help but be startled.
"This ..." Luo Bing hesitated a little.
Luo Ning replied irritably, "What's there to hide? At worst, the family head will hold you accountable, and I'll take responsibility."
Our Yingzhou is backed by the Sea of Demons, with Shengzhou to the left. I don't know if the Chu family has done something wrong, but a large number of demons surged out from the Sea of Demons, assaulting Yingzhou's defenses.
Meanwhile, the Chu family is also gathering in secret, seemingly planning to launch a sneak attack from behind during the Luo family's war. So, the Luo family has now entered a state of full preparation.
Perhaps the head of the family feels that telling you this matter might not be appropriate, so let's not tell you about it. Long
Chen curled his lips. The Luo family really is old-fashioned; they didn't want him involved to avoid owing others another favor.
Long Chen had now advanced to the Four Extremes Realm, fully igniting the power of divine fire. Even under the heavenly tribulation, he had fused his dragon blood perfectly with his own flesh and blood. Except for Immortal King-level experts, he feared no one.
"Ning'er, tell Long Chen that if the family head finds out, he'll be punished." Luo Bing said somewhat irritably.
"What's there to be afraid of? Punishment is fine. For the sake of the family, if you don't even have this bit of courage, you're a child of the Luo family." Luo Ning, on the other hand, said indifferently.
"Pack up. I'll go say hello and then set out immediately." Long Chen said. He was heading to the Luo family, believing the timing was right and that he needed to inquire about his mother.
Although Lingxiao Academy never restricted his freedom, he had to greet him first—this was politeness and the most basic quality of a person.
Long Chen first sought approval from the Vice Dean, and sure enough, the Vice Dean said nothing, only reminding him to be careful and stay safe.
After consulting the vice dean, Long Chen wanted to greet Bai Shishi's mother, but found she wasn't at the academy. Even Bai Zhantang and Bai Xiaole's mothers weren't inside.
With this, Long Chen had no choice but to give up and return to his residence. Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and the others were already fully prepared.
Not only them, but even disciples from the Xiaoyao Alliance and Luo Sect gathered together, their faces full of excitement.
"What are you all so excited about? You are disciples of the academy, while I am here on personal matters. Without the academy's approval, how could I take you out? Long Chen looked at this excited group of people, speechless.
After hearing Long Chen's words, the disciples were instantly disappointed. Mu Qingyun's cherry lips moved a few times, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Long Chen looked at Mu Qingyun and said, "I know you want to go, but you must remember, you are a sword cultivator. Sword cultivation is a spiritual cultivation, and excessive slaughter will affect your realm."
The sword is the gentleman among weapons, the only one among all weapons that can be worn as an accessory. Do you understand the meaning behind this? "
Mu Qingyun nodded: "I understand, I'll listen to Third Brother." Long
Chen smiled. The fact that she could say that meant she still didn't understand. If she didn't understand, so be it. Some truths are hard to explain and can only be grasped on their own.
"Boss, I definitely have to go."
Bai Xiaole was afraid Long Chen would leave him behind, so he hurriedly said.
Xu Zixiong also added, "Me too. I want to see the ... of the Dao Chen Domain."
"It's the Tianlan Domain," Qin Feng corrected.
"Yes, it's the Tianlan Domain. I want to see what the sea demons there look like. I crossed the Sea of Demons and didn't see a single one. I'm so mad." Xu Zixiong said bitterly.
"Speak properly, don't act tough. If you run into a sea monster, there won't be anyone like you in this world." Qin Feng said irritably, this guy actually knows how to show off.
Xu Zixiong immediately felt awkward. Long Chen looked at everyone and said, "It's understandable that Luo family disciples want to return and serve the Luo family."
As for the others, they have nothing to do with you. If you want to get stronger, you don't necessarily have to follow me.
Now, countless strong figures have signed up at Lingxiao Academy, countless new prodigies have joined, and the rankings on the inner court's Earth Ranking are changing daily. Go observe and learn more, and disperse now. In
the end, Long Chen only took Qin Feng, Bai Xiaole, Xu Zixiong, Luo Bing, and a group of Luo family experts—more than thirty people in total—and left together.
"Why haven't I seen Young Master Changchuan and Bai Shishi lately?" Long Chen and the others boarded the flying boat together, and suddenly Long Chen asked.
"Young Master Changchuan, after the tribulation, he left directly without greeting anyone, leaving in a hurry, as if something was urgent.
As for Bai Shishi, ever since you returned from your tribulation, she went to the Bitter Domain of Reincarnation. I don't know what kind of trigger she experienced. Bai Xiaole said.
"Is she crazy?"
Long Chen was startled. Bai Shishi was actually going to undergo the Reincarnation Trial. Although she was powerful, the Reincarnation Bitter Domain targeted people's spiritual willpower. In this regard, she wasn't particularly strong and would endure endless torment.
"I feel the same way. Who knows? She's always been cold and distant, and no one knows what she's thinking." Bai Xiaole shrugged.
Long Chen shook his head, as if he understood something. Bai Shishi had always been extremely strong-willed; perhaps his heavenly tribulation had provoked her.
But she had to understand, ever since she began cultivating, she had been struck by lightning tribulations all the way. If she wanted to strengthen her willpower, there were many methods; there was no need to go to such extremes. Moreover, if anything went wrong and caused mental damage, it would be troublesome.
But Bai Shishi was just that stubborn person. Once she made a decision, no one could change it—only she could do it. However, if Bai Shishi's spirit and will could undergo a transformation, her golden power would become unmatched—like a sharp sword drawn, its destructive power would be terrifyingly powerful.
Long Chen and the others left by flying boat. After several teleportation attempts and flying for another two days, they finally arrived at Yingzhou. As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by the stench of blood in the air.
