Following Bai Xiaole's point, Long Chen saw a group of familiar faces. They were none other than the powerful members of the Long family who had once ascended the academy.
The elder leading them was none other than Long Xihe. At this moment, Long Xihe was imposing and full of confidence. Even the disciples of the Long family following him were all arrogant and indetermined, practically looking down on others with their noses.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that the team led by Long Xihe was extremely powerful, reaching tens of millions, a grand and arrogant force.
When Long Chen saw them, they saw him too. When Long Chen appeared, a cold and sharp look flashed in Long Xihe's eyes. He pretended not to see Long Chen and just roared past.
Obviously, Long Chen had killed Long Xiuyang in the academy, completely offending Elder Xihe. And Elder Xihe was indeed quite strong—after all, not everyone was as easily swayed by Long Chen.
With his powerful deception skills and the prestigious reputation of the Tianhuang Long family, Long Xihe instantly attracted countless powerful figures.
The Tianhuang Dragon family is definitely a giant-level presence in Emperor Heaven. With this convenience, other problems naturally become solved.
However, as the group sped past, Long Chen saw some murderous looks in his eyes, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Boss, as soon as you give the order, I'll go take out these blind bastards." Guo Ran and the others sensed the killing intent, clearly deliberately doing it by these people.
Guo Ran and the others all knew that when the Tianhuang Long family came here, they would immediately seek out the Long family's bloodline. The group deliberately showing murderous intent was the branch of the Long family imprisoning Long Zhantian.
It can be said that Long Chen harbored a deep hatred with the Long family, but because of his father's promise, Long Chen did not exterminate them.
Now these guys thought that by climbing the social ladder, they could trample Long Chen underfoot, deliberately putting on a fearless demeanor, which enraged the Dragon Blood warriors.
They cursed this group for being reckless. Any member of the Dragonblood Legion could be easily wiped out, as easy as crushing an ant. Even with Long Xihe around, he couldn't protect them.
"Forget it, I promised my father that as long as they didn't take the initiative to target me, I wouldn't seek revenge." Long Chen shook his head and said.
In fact, Long Chen wanted to kill them more than anyone. The hatred of disgrace to a father is irreconcilable, but a father's orders are unacceptable. Even if Long Chen had extraordinary abilities, there was nothing he could do.
"I'm really mad. Is there really nothing we can do about them?" Guo Ran said through gritted teeth.
"There must be a way, but the timing hasn't come yet." Long Chen smiled faintly.
"What way?" Guo Ran immediately asked curiously.
"They have the intent to kill me. Once we get to Emperor Heaven, they'll definitely look for opportunities to cause trouble for me. If I seize this one chance, I can kill them all. By then, my father won't be able to blame me." Long Chen gave a sinister smile.
He was never a gentleman, nor a devoted man or woman; his creed was to repay kindness and repay grudges.
In fact, the hatred between Long Chen and the Long family is unsolvable. Long Chen has been secretly monitoring the Long family's movements, hoping to find a weakness to take action.
Unfortunately, Long Chen had never seized a good opportunity. He was waiting, waiting for a chance to eradicate the root cause.
"Tch, you're nothing like you before. If this had been on the Tianwu Continent, you would have dealt with them long ago." Dragon Bone Xie Yue spoke with disdain. It seemed this guy felt uncomfortable every day without mocking Long Chen a few times.
"What do you know? My father and I have gone through countless hardships and reunited after a long separation. How could I not listen to him?
Also, the reason my father stopped me was partly to sever ties with the Long family so that neither side owed anything, and partly because he didn't want me to be accused of ancestor slaughter. Long Chen replied irritably.
Dragonbone Evil Moon, perhaps because it had devoured too many dragon souls, had become extremely violent and bloodthirsty. It kept provoking him with words, tempting him to attack people. Of course, Long Chen didn't indulge it and snapped back.
"Buzz!"
As everyone was moving, the void ahead trembled continuously. Unconsciously, they had arrived before the Gate of Nine Heavens.
Unlike ordinary spatial gates, the Nine Heavens Gate is a massive gateway, tens of thousands of miles high, reaching straight into the clouds.
Above the doorway, flying eaves hung with corners, radiating divine light. The door opened inward, as if welcoming guests from all directions.
When someone rushed into the Nine Heavens Gate, the entire gate flickered, and the void erupted with a violent roar.
When Long Chen arrived at the Gate of Nine Heavens, he didn't rush in. Almost simultaneously, everyone turned to look into the distance, where their loved ones were, traces of their growth, and countless memories.
They all knew that crossing this gateway meant facing a whole new world. This world might be exciting, or it might be bloody. Once they took this step, many would never return. That glance back was their heartfelt farewell to this world.
With a wave of Long Chen's hand, everyone rushed into the Nine Heavens Gate simultaneously. As they crossed it, dense spiritual energy and powerful Heavenly Dao laws surged forth.
At that moment, everyone's pores opened in an instant, greedily inhaling the breath of this world. It was an instinct of life, like vegetation in the desert, struggling in harsh conditions. Now, what they longed for daily was easily obtained here, awakening their instinct for life in an instant.
"Oh my god, living here, even without diligent cultivation, is countless times faster than cultivating outside." Someone shouted excitedly.
"No wonder it's the strongest day in the Nine Heavens World. This is truly a blessed land for cultivators."
For a moment, people were so excited they were incoherent. Not only them, even Long Chen and the others felt extremely thrilled. It was a natural instinct—the stronger a person was, the more they could feel that desire within their bodies.
Just as he stepped through the gate, Long Chen felt his dragon blood boil instantly, and the dormant Purple Blood and Seven-Colored Supreme Blood were awakened by the presence here, becoming restless.
At that moment, Long Chen was like a fish about to die of thirst, finally returning to the sea. That feeling was beyond words.
After Long Chen and the others entered the gate, they found themselves in a chaotic passage. As they passed through, the spiritual energy ahead instantly thickened dozens of times, and the world before them gradually became clear.
But before anyone could see the world before them, a thick stench of blood hit them, and at the same time, piercing screams and roars filled the air.
"Boom!"
A sharp claw tore through the void, charging straight at Long Chen and the others.
