"What's wrong with Qingxuan?" Long Chen noticed Yu Qingxuan's unusual expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Is this really okay for us?" Yu Qingxuan hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.
Long Chen glanced at Yu Qingxuan, knowing she was naturally kind-hearted, and doing such bad things would make her feel guilty.
So Long Chen explained in detail to Yu Qingxuan how Longteng Trading Company used living people as sacrifices and sent them to the Demon Eye, how the Bai siblings were deceived and died with hatred.
"How can Longteng Trading Company be so evil? Betraying his own kin? Yu Qingxuan was completely stunned, her face full of anger as she spoke.
Previously, when Long Chen clashed with Longteng Trading Company in Ziyan Heaven, Yu Qingxuan thought it was just Long Chen disliking their arrogance and giving them a lesson. She never expected the hatred between Long Chen and Longteng Trading Company to run so deep.
In the Demon's Eye, the secret parts of Long Chen's communication with Uncle Huai were limited to the two of them knowing. Long Chen wasn't trying to keep secrets, but rather not wanting Yu Qingxuan's beautiful eyes to see the ugliness of human nature.
Now that Yu Qingxuan asked about it, Long Chen had no choice but to speak up, otherwise Yu Qingxuan would think he was being too harsh.
"Didn't the President say so? Merchants without faith are the most terrifying.
As long as there's profit, not just kinship—even their own parents and flesh and blood can be sold.
I don't have the power to destroy them now, so I can only use his wealth to rob the rich to help the poor, arming myself with his wealth until one day I completely wipe out these guys. Long Chen said.
"Long Chen, I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't question you. "Yu Qingxuan's pretty face suddenly flushed red, and she said a little embarrassedly.
Long Chen laughed: "Silly girl, why can't you question me?" I'm human too, and being human leads to mistakes.
If one day I make a mistake, you must bring it up. Don't let me go further down the wrong path. "
How could you be wrong? I believe in you. Yu Qingxuan giggled.
Long Chen smiled faintly, but in his heart he thought, how can people avoid making mistakes? Making mistakes isn't scary; what's scary is not realizing that one is making a mistake.
"Boss, should we head to the next one?" Xia Chen said excitedly. He was already addicted; this feeling of instant wealth was amazing.
Before Long Chen could speak, Guo Ran snapped, "You sound easy. You just need to unlock runes. The boss and we all put in a lot of effort, so you need to let us catch our breath, right?" "
They snatched three shops in one go. Except for Xia Chen, everyone was exhausted and consumed too much, unable to take any more risks."
Long Chen nodded and said, "Guo Ran is right. Don't be careless. The three Celestial Venerables we encountered are not combat-type Celestial Venerables." "
Not a combat-type Celestial Venerable? What is that? Everyone was stunned.
"The three Celestial Venerables of Longteng Trading Company, including the president, are all doing it to maintain their Celestial Venerable realm and gain a certain status.
To put it bluntly, they are at the very bottom of the Heavenly Venerable realm, and their strength is only at the entry-level standard. True Heavenly Venerables are definitely much more terrifying. Long Chen said.
"Rumble...
At that moment, the void roared, the sky cracked, and Xia Chen's flying boat was locked onto in an instant, as vast divine might surged in from all directions.
"Ignorant brats, how dare you rob Longteng Trading Company! Today, I'll skin you alive and grind your bones to dust."
A furious roar rang out as a large group of powerful figures appeared, surrounding Long Chen and the others. It was the Celestial Venerable from Longteng Trading Company chasing after them.
"Pretty fast."
Everyone was stopped but showed no sign of panic. Long Chen stood on the flying boat, coldly watching the nine Heavenly Venerable experts appear ahead.
"Kid, who exactly are you? Daring to rob Longteng Trading Company—are you ready to die? The
leading elder shouted sternly.
At that moment, the other Heavenly Venerable experts and those Earth Venerable experts had already surrounded the flying boat, giving Long Chen no chance to escape.
"Tch, there's no need to talk about these pointless nonsense. If you're going to set up a formation, just set it up directly. There's no need to draw my attention.
If I want to escape, do you think you can catch up with me? Do you think I'm as stupid as you guys? Long Chen sneered.
The leader deliberately roared to draw their attention. The others had already taken their positions in designated directions, each holding formation disks, setting up formations to capture Long Chen and the others alive.
Who is Long Chen? How could they not know? This was clearly meant for fools; such tactics were just too low-level.
Just as Long Chen said, if he really wanted to escape, he wouldn't have taken the flying boat. Instead, Xia Chen would do a directionless teleportation, so they wouldn't be able to track them at all.
"You mean, they deliberately lured us here?" The old man's face darkened as he spoke, sensing something was wrong.
"Not exactly a lure, right? Whether you leave or not is my business. Whether you chase or not is up to you. Whether you can meet depends on your fate together!" Long Chen said calmly.
At this moment, Uncle Huai was already standing behind Long Chen. He knew it was time for him to make a move.
When the people of Longteng Trading Company saw Uncle Huai, their expressions changed and they recognized his identity.
When he first arrived at Nie Ying Tian, Uncle Huai had only recently been rescued by Long Chen from the Demon's Eye, and his strength was still recovering. That's why the three elders of the Ye family misjudged him.
But now, Uncle Huai was different. As the seal was lifted, his strength was gradually recovering, and the aura of the Undead Clan grew stronger. Now, even hiding his identity was becoming difficult.
"The Undying Clan keeps to our Longteng Trading Company at heart. Are you declaring war on behalf of the Undying Clan?" The old man shouted sternly, clearly very wary of Uncle Huai.
As fellow Celestial Venerables, they knew that the Undying Clan's Celestial Venerables far surpassed them. Even if they had nine Celestial Venerables, they might not be able to defeat him.
"I don't represent the Undying Clan. I only obey my master. Whoever my master tells me to kill, I do." Uncle Huai said calmly.
"Master?"
The Heavenly Venerable expert was instantly shocked. He simply couldn't imagine how the proud Undying Clan could become someone else's servant.
"Rumble rumble rumble...
At that moment, the void roared and exploded, and a herd of heavenly steeds roared out from the void. The overwhelming pressure caused the world to ripple repeatedly.
The heavenly horse soared through the air, its wings trembling. On its back, figures could be seen. Two of them had astonishing auras and were actually Heavenly Venerable-level beasts.
At that moment, Long Chen's expression changed. He thought the experts from Longteng Trading Company had arrived. Those who could control Celestial Venerable-level beasts were definitely not ordinary.
But soon Long Chen noticed that the expressions of the people from Longteng Trading Company had changed. He thought the same as Long Chen, assuming these people were on Long Chen's side.
"Rumble rumble ..." The
heavenly horse's hooves flapped, its wings tremblingMoving and roaring above everyone's heads, Long Chen and the people from Longteng Trading Company all breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as the pegasus was about to disappear, it suddenly turned around and ran straight toward them.
At this moment, Long Chen and the people from Longteng Trading Company grew tense again, preparing for battle.
As the group drew near, the pegasus slowed its pace, and a woman descended from it.
The woman's eyes were as clear as autumn water, filled with disbelief as she looked at Long Chen. Long Chen was also shocked by the woman:
"How could it be her?"
