He lost himself in the feeling of her lips, in that connection between them. After an unknown amount of time, Meng Qi suddenly escaped from their embrace with a startled cry, her face even redder than before.
“Cough, sorry, it was just excitement. However, if I didn’t get excited while holding such a beautiful woman in my hands, I definitely wouldn’t be a man,” laughed Long Chen. He awkwardly shifted, as pointing at someone was rude.
“Meng Qi, let me tell you a story.” Long Chen began to tell a story to relieve the awkwardness.
As for Meng Qi, she hadn’t recovered from that unique feeling and still couldn’t look at him.
“There was a man who was bathing in a bathtub. Nothing strange happened, but suddenly, the water level began to rapidly rise. Do you know why?” asked Long Chen.
“Why?”
“Hehe, it was because he suddenly saw his beloved woman.” Long Chen suddenly began to laugh mischievously.
At first, Meng Qi didn’t comprehend. But following Long Chen’s mischievous laughter, along with what had just happened, she immediately rebuked, “You scoundrel!”
She slammed the water, and a pillar of water shot at Long Chen. Long Chen was laughing, and as a result, the water surged into his nose and mouth, making him appear incredibly miserable while Meng Qi laughed.
“Come, let me clean up my wife.” Seeing that Meng Qi was no longer so nervous, Long Chen held her hand.
Now, Meng Qi didn’t refuse him. She allowed him to take off the rest of her clothes, completely revealing her flesh to him.
Meng Qi’s body involuntarily trembled as Long Chen’s hands touched her skin. Her eyes were half-closed, and some faint sweat began to collect on her nose. Her gaze was blurred, bashful, and extremely moving.
When the final piece was taken off, Long Chen couldn’t help being filled with praise. The heavens really did possess supernatural sculpting abilities to make such a beautiful woman.
“Meng Qi, you really are beautiful,” praised Long Chen.
His praise caused her to become a bit more clear-headed. Shaking off what had happened, she caressed Long Chen’s cheek and asked, “Long Chen, back when we first met in Phoenix Cry, did you intentionally put on an act because you wanted to obtain me?”
Long Chen nodded. “Yes, I did it on purpose. I deliberately made you feel guilty and feel pity for me. I used your kindness to seduce you.” He didn’t hesitate or try to cover up the truth at all. Caressing Meng Qi’s face, he looked into her eyes and said, “Because I know that in this world, no one else can love you more than I do. No one else can devote their heart and soul to protect you like I do. Through the countless battles I fought, whenever I faced death, I always told myself that I couldn’t die. Because if I died, then no one else in this world would be able to love you the way I do.”
“Long Chen…” Meng Qi wrapped her arms around Long Chen and tightly embraced him.
Long Chen took a deep breath and did his best to suppress his hot blood. He felt like something hot was flowing through his nose and about to burst. He hastily suppressed it.
He now slightly regretted this. He shouldn’t have chosen to bathe together with Meng Qi, because she was truly too attractive. At the same time, he had also overestimated his self-control. Wasn’t he an idiot? Why had he decided to torture himself?
Originally, he had just been planning on helping Meng Qi clean herself off. Now he found that all his energy had to be focused on suppressing his own desires. It was Meng Qi who had to help him clean his body.
After a bitter trial, they finally finished bathing. Long Chen circulated the Earth Flame and used it to scour the space around them before forming a barrier. In this space, there would be nothing from this world to stick to them.
They also did a thorough examination of their bodies. After checking with their Spiritual Strength and confirming there was nothing suspicious, they took out new clothes from their spatial rings.
After putting on new clothes, they looked at each other with anticipation. They were finally about to be freed from the feeling of suppression here. They smiled at each other. Although they couldn’t take another step in their relationship, bathing together had brought their hearts closer.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Meng Qi tightly held onto Long Chen, and Long Chen also wrapped an arm around her. With his right hand, he crushed the World Piercing Jade Talisman. A spatial portal appeared in front of them.
Long Chen jumped in with Meng Qi. Their vision twisted as they appeared in the original mountain valley.
“Hehe, Long Chen, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Long Chen had only just appeared when four red-robed experts surrounded them.
Chapter 762 Catching a Turtle in a Jar
“Corrupt experts?”
Long Chen’s expression changed. These four people possessed an extremely powerful aura, one that he had only ever sensed from the vice sect master.
“Ancestor experts? What a trap.” Fury crept across Long Chen’s face, and he even ended up crushing the World Piercing Jade Talisman in his hand.
“Hahaha, yes, a trap. Unfortunately, you realized it too late,” laughed one of the Corrupt experts.
“Long Chen, we really put in a lot of effort to deal with you. Four Ancestor experts! You can die without regret!”
Meng Qi stealthily made some small signs to Long Chen, but Long Chen shook his head. “There’s no need to waste the effort. They’re all Foundation Forging experts, people on the level of the vice sect master. We have no ability to resist.”
Meng Qi was startled. She had wanted Long Chen to prepare himself while she summoned the Blood Phoenix to handle them. Even if it wouldn't be able to kill them, both of them should be able to flee. But now that he said this, she had no idea what he was planning.
“You’re pretty smart, little fellow. Yes, if you don’t struggle, you won’t have to suffer so much. Hehe, come with us without struggling. Don’t force us to fight with an amateur at the Xiantian realm,” said one of the Corrupt experts.
Obviously, a Foundation Forging expert had a Foundation Forging expert’s pride. Experts in this realm were the masters of large sects. That was why they were called Ancestor experts, because they possessed the qualifications to start their own renowned sects.
So for a Foundation Forging expert to target a Xiantian rookie was truly a loss of status, especially when it was four against one. It was clearly too much.
But the Corrupt path viewed Long Chen too importantly now. In the chaos region, they hadn’t killed him, but they had lost five Sea Expansion experts, nine Celestials, and eighty thousand elite disciples. Even now, this incident was still a mystery for the Corrupt path.
And the only one who could resolve that mystery was Long Chen. So the Corrupt path didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless now. They had to capture him; thus, they had sent out four Foundation Forging experts at once.
“Wait a moment! I, Long Chen, am a grand and heroic figure. How can I just allow myself to be taken without a struggle? You have to first agree to one of my conditions,” said Long Chen.
“Conditions? Hmph, what qualifications do you have to discuss those?”
“You want to know who sold you out? Don’t bother!” The Corrupt experts looked at him disdainfully.
Long Chen disdainfully looked back. “Tch, have your brains been eaten by maggots? I already know who sold me out, so why would I have to ask you?”
The four of them were enraged. His tone was completely unacceptable. One of the more patient ones asked, “Then what is your condition?”
They naturally hoped to capture Long Chen alive. Not only did they want his memories, but they also wanted to obtain what he had on him. Just in terms of the physical body, he had to have some sort of secret for him to be so strong.
“My condition is extremely simple. Kneel on the ground and call me daddy. Then I’ll immediately leave with you!” Long Chen suddenly laughed.
“Bastard, you dare to trick us?!” The four of them all realized Long Chen was playing around with them. He had never had any intentions of discussing things with them.
“Tricking you? You’re right. I’ll tell you the truth now. I am also a Foundation Forging expert, so come and test your daddy Long’s true power!”
BOOM!
Long Chen’s aura erupted and his divine ring appeared. A powerful pillar of qi soared into the sky. The four of them jumped.
Long Chen was also a Foundation Forging expert? Even if he beat them to death, they wouldn’t believe such a thing. They all watched with rapt attention, wanting to see whether Long Chen was just trying to act mystical or whether he really had any power.
But suddenly, a formation under Long Chen’s feet lit up. Spatial power erupted, and the four Corrupt experts suddenly found that they were unable to move.
Buzz!
The world around them twisted. They were horrified to find that they had appeared on a large platform. Countless figures were watching them like they were rare species.
“Welcome to the Xuantian Dao Sect. It really was rude for us to not welcome you at the door.” The vice sect master stood in the air, smiling lightly at the four of them.
“What?!”
Their expressions completely changed. They looked around and saw a sea of people around them. They were the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples.
Everything had already been prepared by Long Chen. He had felt that his trip to the Spirit World wouldn’t be so simple. Therefore, he had borrowed a transportation formation disc from the vice sect master.
It had to be known that the Xuantian Dao Sect had only had two such large-scale transportation formation discs. At first, the vice sect master hadn’t even wanted to lend it to him. But Long Chen guaranteed that either he wouldn’t use it, or in the case if he did, he would rake in an unimaginable profit.
If he didn’t use the disc, then it wouldn’t use up any of its energy, so there would be no loss. Furthermore, Shui Wuhen had also spoken up for him, allowing him to finally obtain it.
As soon as they arrived in this world, he had crushed a jade seal. That seal had activated the formation disc as well as the photographic jades on the mountain peaks.
Long Chen estimated that if they really did target him this time, there would be some big fish. So he had set up those special photographic jades to project their images on the Xuantian Platform.
The Xuantian Platform was the center of the Xuantian Plaza. When the projection had appeared, the disciples there had all been startled. Long Chen was actually surrounded by four Corrupt Ancestor experts.
As for when Long Chen had crushed the World Piercing Jade Talisman in his panic, he had also crushed the jade seal he had used to activate everything. Furthermore, when the jade seal was crushed, the vice sect master received a message. He had rushed over to the Xuantian Plaza to see everything.
He had hastily ordered the activation of the grand formation, as well as activating the trapping formation and killing formation on the Xuantian Platform.
Then he watched as Long Chen calmly talked nonsense with them. He knew Long Chen was stalling for them to set up the formations. But in truth, he had already finished the preparations in just a few breaths’ time.
Then when the formation disc was activated, Long Chen released his powerful aura to conceal the fluctuations. As a result, the four of them really cooperated with him perfectly.
Long Chen and Meng Qi were by the vice sect master’s side. He had activated the formation to pull them out as soon as they had appeared.
“Hehe, you really are idiots. Do you know how united our Righteous path is? Did you really think we would harm ourselves? It seems you still don’t understand what happened within the chaos region! You idiots really never learn, no matter how many times you’re tricked.” Long Chen laughed with a pleased expression.
The four Corrupt experts were completely enraged. His words made them suspect that what had happened within the chaos region had all been planned by the Righteous path. Now, they had been tricked once more.
“You bastard Zhou Tianyi, even as ghosts, we won’t let you off!” roared one of the Corrupt experts as he began to crazily attack the formation. Zhou Tianyi turned pale and sat on the ground.
The Xuantian Platform was merely a mile wide. It was usually used by the higher-ups as a place to lecture on the Dao. Many disciples hadn’t known that the Xuantian Platform was so powerful.
The entire Xuantian Platform was covered in runes. They formed a powerful defensive barrier that trapped the four of them. No matter how they tried, they were unable to break through it.
“Activate the killing formation!” ordered the vice sect master.
Countless flying swords condensed in the air and shot toward the four of them.
One of them punched out, destroying a dozen flying swords. That caused the monastery head experts’ expressions to change. Just one of those flying swords would have the power to kill them, but these Corrupt experts were able to destroy a dozen of them with a single punch.
“Work hard, work hard! You can do it!” Long Chen cheered for them as they struggled bitterly.
The four of them were fuming with rage. One of them ended up getting distracted and hit by a flying sword. It pierced through his shoulder, bringing with it a spray of blood.
“Oh, you’re bleeding? Is this your legendary first time?” asked Long Chen in shock.
“Long Chen!” Meng Qi finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She didn’t have Long Chen’s thick face, and she hastily pulled him away, not letting him continue to spout nonsense.
“What?” Suddenly, one of the Corrupt experts took out a soul banner. But he found that he was unable to activate this Treasure item. An invisible energy here blocked his connection to it.
“Sorry, the rules here are that no one can use weapons above the Enchanted level on the Xuantian Plaza!” said the vice sect master. His normally stern face was lit up in a smile.
It had to be known that the deed of killing four Corrupt Foundation Forging experts along with gathering their corpses and souls would be greatly rewarded by the head sect.
In all his years running the Xuantian Dao Sect, the number of Corrupt Foundation Forging experts they had cut down was pitifully low. Now four had come at once. If he didn’t care about his status, the vice sect master would probably be dancing in delight. This was definitely the Eastern Wasteland’s branch sect’s greatest battle achievement.
The disciples watched in shock as the four of them struggled desperately. Finally, after two hours, they were killed by the formation.
Once they were killed, runes lit up on the formation and gathered their souls and corpses. It would be possible to see some of their secrets through their souls.
The vice sect master’s smile then disappeared as he turned to look at Zhou Tianyi icily.
“Zhou Tianyi, you better give me a satisfactory explanation this time!”
Chapter 763 Would They Still Have Done It
“Vice sect master, please spare my life!”
Zhou Tianyi directly knelt on the ground. He knew there was no way for him to argue his way out of this. The four Corrupt experts’ souls were in the vice sect master’s hands. All he could hope was that he wouldn’t be killed.
“Zhou Tianyi, why would you be so foolish? Not even the lesson from the chaos region taught you anything. You should accept the punishment for your sins,” said the vice sect master coldly.
Although the chaos region matter had been led by the Pill Tower, the Zhou family had also participated. When the vice sect master had learned about the disturbance within the chaos region, Zhou Tianyi had already made ample preparations and left behind no evidence.
If Long Chen’s photographic jades hadn’t appeared, there would have been no way to prove that the Zhou family had been involved at all. Because the Zhou family had then been forced to sacrifice Zhou Qingyu and her son, as well as paying a hu
ge amount in compensation, the vice sect master had thought that the Zhou family would reserve themselves a bit.
Most importantly, he had also warned them all several times during the trials that they could fight, but they had to keep it within the limits. However, Zhou Tianyi had clearly not taken his words to heart. He had actually colluded with the Corrupt path.
Even if it wasn’t to target Long Chen, just the sin of colluding with the Corrupt path was enough for him to die a hundred times.
“Vice sect master, please spare me! Disciple was just muddleheaded!” cried Zhou Tianyi through tears. He really was afraid now as he didn’t want to die. It was always people who were older that longed for life more.
“Fool, what you committed wasn’t a mistake but an absolute taboo. Even the sect master wouldn’t be able to protect you.” The vice sect master shook his head.
Although he was a solemn person, he actually was very softhearted. It was precisely because the four family heads had realized his nature that their inner battle became increasingly intense.
But today, there was clearly no way for him to let Zhou Tianyi off.
“Fine, since that’s the case, then I won’t make it hard on you. I wish to report that it was Shui Yuncong who incited me to do this!” What no one had expected was for Zhou Tianyi to suddenly pull in Shui Yuncong.
“Zhou Tianyi, don’t slander others!” raged Shui Yuncong.
“Hmph, Shui Yuncong, if it weren’t for you, how could I end up like this? If I’m dying, then don’t think about getting to live happily. If it weren’t for what you did to the World Piercing Jade Talisman, how could I have found Long Chen’s position? And then how could I leak the information to the Corrupt path? I’m sorry to tell you that I recorded our conversation, so you can accompany me in death!” Zhou Tianyi laughed crazily and took out a photographic jade.
That was a very high level photographic jade and an extremely expensive one. When it was activated, the fluctuations were practically impossible to sense. Even Sea Expansion experts were unable to sense it.
