Watching the group leave with faces full of disgust, Yu Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh. Long Chen was really something—no one believed he had the Qiankun Cauldron anymore.
They had worried that Long Chen, having the Qiankun Cauldron, would be targeted by everyone and be unable to move forward, but unexpectedly, Long Chen resolved it with a single move.
Seeing Long Chen's angry face because no one believed him, this guy was really good at acting.
The big man killed by the Dragonblood Warrior had already been taken away from his body. The city guards were used to it, and as long as the city wasn't destroyed, they basically didn't interfere.
If someone dies, they can make a fortune. Long Chen and the others disdain touching that person's weapons, armor, and spatial rings; all these things belong to the guards.
Perhaps because they had made money, these guards were very polite to Long Chen and the others. While others had left, they were very attentive to Long Chen.
Here, some people without connections are killed and no one comes out to care about them. Here, if someone dies, it's no different from a dead ant.
"Let me tell you, I really do have the Qiankun Cauldron." Long Chen saw that everyone else had dispersed, but he solemnly addressed the guards.
"Hehe, we absolutely trust you. We believe whatever you say." The guards stood straight and spoke with serious expressions.
"Forget it, forget it, I can't be bothered to tell you guys." Seeing these guards respond like this, Long Chen lost the mood to keep up the act and simply followed the others into the city.
But after entering the city, many people looked at Long Chen with strange looks—contempt and disgust. Now, they had labeled Long Chen as a big liar.
But this was exactly what Long Chen needed—so he could rest easy for a few days without having to be on guard against others.
Long Chen and the others continued to frantically exchange all kinds of treasures, exchanging things they didn't need for urgently needed ones. It could be said that this Saint King Conference benefited countless people.
As they drew closer to the core of the Saint King Star Domain, the number of powerful figures from various races increased. However, this place was much more tense than the outskirts. Some powerful races didn't even enter the city, setting up territories on the outskirts and forbidding anyone from entering.
Here, Celestial Venerables could be seen everywhere, guarding their own disciples, afraid that something might happen to them.
As for Long Chen and the others, without the protection of Heavenly Venerables, they were provoked by many factions. But Long Chen simply couldn't tolerate their flaws—anyone who dared provoke would be beaten until their heads were broken, and anyone who dared to use weapons would be killed on the spot.
After killing someone, he left a message: The Chaos Divine Artifact, the Qiankun Cauldron, is in my hands. If you want it, come and negotiate anytime.
Once or twice, people were startled when they heard the name of the Qiankun Cauldron, but it was common to see Long Chen and the others claim to own the Cauldron after beating people, leaving people numb.
This was clearly deliberate promotion, with obvious intentions—only a fool would fall for it. However, the Dragonblood warriors exuded a powerful aura and attacked fiercely and ruthlessly. Even a Heavenly Venerable was killed by two Dragonblood warriors in three moves together, intimidating many people.
Moreover, as time passed, many people gradually uncovered Long Chen's background. Just the title of the strongest branch dean in Lingxiao Academy's history had intimidated countless people.
Especially some of the older generation of strong figures were deeply shocked. Many of the younger generation didn't even know about Lingxiao Academy, but the older generation knew it was an existence with an astonishing foundation.
Additionally, Long Chen's achievements in various regions were also uncovered, especially the incident where he killed Empuda and Liao Bencang in the Vermilion Bird Empire, shocking everyone.
Although Empuda and Liao Bencang were not truly killed by Long Chen, the news spread like this, leaving countless older powerhouses in disbelief.
You have to know, Empuda and Liao Bencang's followers are spread across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and they're even loyal subordinates of Great Brahma. For the two of them to have been killed by Long Chen is simply unbelievable.
Long Chen saw a trading company in the city and went in without even looking: "Hey, shopkeeper, you have ... here."
"Get lost, you damn bastard." The shopkeeper was both shocked and furious when he saw Long Chen, trembling with rage.
"Longteng Trading Company?"
Only then did Long Chen recognize the person's attire—it turned out he had actually walked into Longteng Trading Company.
"Insulting is wrong, brothers, time to get to work." Long Chen waved his hand grandly.
"Boom boom boom...
The explosion shook the air as buildings kept collapsing. Amid countless screams and curses, Long Chen and the others walked out with grins. This merchant, temporarily set up by Longteng Trading Company, had been robbed by them.
"They actually came knocking. If they don't take it, it would be a waste of their sincerity." Guo Ran chuckled.
"You bunch of damned bastards, you'll meet a terrible end. Just you wait, Longteng Trading Company won't let you off.
What's wrong with you guys? Long Chen possesses the Chaos Divine Artifact, the Qiankun Cauldron. If you kill him, you'll get this supreme treasure. Why aren't you making a move yet..." the shopkeeper cursed loudly and incited others to attack Long Chen.
Many onlookers around rolled their eyes, wondering if they really thought others were idiots. Acting as a free enforcer for your Longteng Trading Company?
The people of Longteng Trading Company shouted and shouted like shrews cursing in the street, but Long Chen and the others just smiled and showed no anger at all.
Long Chen and the others' principle was: rob without killing, fight back without fighting, and never talk back at insults. After all, since the treasure was in hand, it was reasonable to let people curse a bit.
Perhaps Longteng Trading Company had figured out this pattern and dared to curse so harshly. However, among these people, the strongest were only Earth Venerable experts, who were completely powerless against Long Chen and the others.
They originally didn't camp here, but planned to take advantage of the Saint King Assembly to establish a base here and make a fortune.
They had been operating here for over two months, buying low and selling high, making quite a few treasures, only to be snatched away by Long Chen directly. Now they had lost everything—how could they not be furious?
However, Longteng Trading Company had a really bad reputation. Countless strong figures were present to watch the spectacle, yet not a single one stood up for them.
"Everyone, besides selling the Qiankun Cauldron, I also run some other small businesses. If you have anything good on hand, feel free to come to me for a deal.
I can't claim how complete I am, but whatever Longteng Trading Company has, I have. Long Chen said to everyone.
The people at Longteng Trading Company were so angry they spat blood. Stealing all the treasures from Longteng Trading Company and then trading them—could there be anything more bullying than that?
The others laughed at Long Chen's words. This guy was really tough—he actually robbed Longteng Trading Company so directly. Wasn't he afraid Longteng Trading Company would come after them?
"Ignorant brat, today let's settle the scores between us!"
Suddenly, the void surged as hundreds of powerful figures dressed in Longteng Trading Company robes descended. The experts present cried out in surprise:
"Innate Heavenly Venerable!"
