  The elder took out a tile. Once he put his Spiritual Strength inside, numbers appeared. It was a tool used for drawing lots.

  The representatives from the various major factions came forward. The result was that the ancient family alliance’s side would be the first batch to enter. Those who belonged to the alliance directly entered, while those that were part of the ancient family alliance but hadn’t expressed their support for Pill Valley were given barrier breaking beads.

  There were many experts from the ancient family alliance. As they entered, the others were forced to make room for them to pass. Long Chen was standing in his original location, but two women ended up having to get out of the way, resulting in them getting closer to him.

  The two of them were Qi Xuan and Qi Fengxue from the Heaven Reaching Ancient Castle. When they ended up pushed closer to him, Qi Xuan looked up at him fearfully and recoiled. Long Chen’s current appearance was a bit frightening.

  Suddenly, some of the ancient family alliance’s disciples ended up crashing toward Qi Fengxue. Perhaps they were too excited or pushed by others.

  Qi Fengxue frowned and summoned a barrier of spiritual qi to stop them. As a result, one of them ended up striking her so hard that she was sent reeling back.

  Qi Fengxue was infuriated, and she was about to curse that person when that person hastily said, “Sorry, truly sorry. It was my mistake. Let me apologize to senior apprentice-sister Qi! Aiya!”

  The person was in the midst of apologizing. But as a result of stopping all of a sudden, he was struck by someone else moving forward, sending him staggering closer to Qi Fengxue.

  As a result, the scene became a bit chaotic. The disciple hastily reached out to grab the startled Qi Fengxue, reaching out for her butt.

  Long Chen saw it clearly and was infuriated at this bastard’s shamelessness. Without any hesitation, he kicked that pervert on the butt.

  A cracking sound rang out as his tailbone shattered. A heart-wrenching screech rang out as he soared into the sky.

  “What’s going on?!” The elder’s expression darkened, angered by the disturbance.

  “This bastard wanted to take advantage of this lady. I found it disdainful, so I kicked him,” said Long Chen indifferently.

  “That’s… nonsense!”

  The wretched man flying through the air landed on the ground. He was holding his buttocks and was in so much pain that he was drenched with cold sweat. This kick of Long Chen’s was truly vicious. The power of the azure dragon was constantly wracking this man’s body, making it so that he couldn’t heal.

  That elder coldly looked at that person and then at Long Chen. He shouted, “There will be no further exceptions!”

  When Long Chen saw that elder’s expression, as well as the wretched man cursing, his eyes narrowed slightly.

  Chapter 2011 No Escape

  People were somewhat surprised by this reaction. Causing a fuss was brushed off with just a word? Shouldn't the two of them be punished or at least harshly warned?

  They looked toward Long Chen. Could Man Batian have some secret connection with Pill Valley?

  As for the wretched man, he cursed as he walked away, looking back to make a throat-slitting gesture at Long Chen. But after being glared at by the elder, he obediently walked into the channel.

  Very quickly, Di Feng and the others all entered. Di Feng casually looked back at Long Chen, but he didn’t say anything.

  After the ancient family alliance’s experts walked in, the second batch was the Xuan Beasts. They had drawn the second lot.

  When these Xuan Beasts walked by, Long Chen saw Xiong Tianba glaring at him viciously. He said, “Man Batian, just wait. Once we’re in the Brahma secret realm, I’ll make you regret being born in this world!”

  “Fuck off!” Long Chen slapped him in the face. The two of them were too close, and Xiong Tianba hadn’t expected Long Chen to attack in front of the Pill Valley’s Elders.

  An explosive sound rang out as Long Chen threw his whole force behind this slap. Xiong Tianba not only flew back, but the force knocked back the surrounding Xuan Beasts as well. Hundreds of people tumbled back, causing chaos.

  “Stop!” shouted the elder furiously. When the dust settled, it revealed Long Chen standing in his original location, with Xiong Tianba lying in the distance, half his head caved in.

  The hundreds of Xuan Beasts were lying on the ground as well. This infuriated all the Xuan Beasts present as this was a slap to all of them. Hence, they took out their weapons, about to attack Long Chen when the elder’s shout stopped them.

  “This Man Batian goes too far! I don’t mind not entering the Brahma secret realm. I still have to kill him! The Xuan Beasts’ pride cannot be trampled upon!” roared one Xuan Beast. The others agreed. Although not all of them were fully loyal to Peng Wanli, when a human bullied them, they were strangely united.

  The Xuan Beasts surrounded Long Chen. As long as one person gave the order, they would tear him to pieces.

  “Everyone, calm down. I have a few things to say first.” The elder looked at something in the sky and then smiled.

  “It doesn’t matter what you say, Man Batian must die.” Xiong Tianba crawled and roared. That slap had been exceptionally vicious. It had almost crushed his head.

  “You’re wrong. He isn’t Man Batian. He is the one claimed to be the Martial Heaven Continent’s strongest junior expert, the one who dominates other peak heavenly geniuses in the same realm. Well, am I right?” The elder looked at Long Chen with a confident smile.

  “Long Chen, he is Long Chen?” All the experts were shocked. Even Xiong Tianba was stunned.

  As expected, he had been noticed. Long Chen smiled. He wiped his face, revealing his true appearance. At the same time, his aura changed from Man Batian’s aura.

  “Big brother Long Chen!”

  Qi Xuan let out a startled cry as she hadn’t expected Long Chen to really come. However, she immediately turned pale. She knew that there was no escaping from here with so many experts present and considering that this was the core of Pill Valley.

  Qi Fengxue couldn’t help sighing deeply. She didn’t know why Long Chen would do such a thing. Was this any different than sending himself to his death? She wanted to save him, but she didn’t have the ability.

  “Long Chen, hahaha, I didn’t think that you would actually come. Let’s see just how you escape today.” Xie Luo couldn’t help laughing. His aura erupted as he prepared to fight.

  “If it weren’t for me being busy last time, I would have killed you already. A defeated person doesn’t have the right to speak.” Long Chen glanced at Xie Luo indifferently.

  “Long Chen, you’re quite arrogant. Today, let me, Leng Wufeng, test just how strong you are.” From amongst the crowd, a man walked forward. Long Chen had seen him on his way here. The light of the Sword Dao hung around him, and thousands of sharp swords were surging within the light around him.

  “It’s the Blood Spirit Sword Sect’s Leng Wufeng.” People whispered, recognizing this person. He came from a neutral sect. The Blood Spirit Sword Sect hadn’t made an appearance on the Martial Heaven Continent in many years. Now that they reappeared, only a few people knew of them.

  “It would be best if you didn’t. Anyone who attacks me will be viewed as my enemy. If you want to attack me, you should be prepared to die first,” said Long Chen.

  “Haha, truly arrogant. You’re already a trapped turtle, yet you can still say such a thing,” laughed Leng Wufeng. The light around him began to sharpen.

  “Wait!” Long Chen suddenly raised a hand.

  “What? Are you finally afraid? Is your fame all fake?” sneered Leng Wufeng.

  Long Chen frowned. “You should be a sword cultivator. Sword cultivators are arrogant, not out of pride but out of confidence. However, it can’t be out of overconfidence. Based on what a fool you are, it’s clear you’ve never suffered before. If you had encountered me earlier, you would have become a better person.”

&
nbsp; Long Chen’s words were definitely arrogant. However, they could not be called inappropriate either because he had the qualifications to be arrogant. Those qualifications were earned through his battles in the past few years. Whether they were his enemy or not, everyone had to agree that the name of the Eastern Madman suited him.

  “Arrogance!” Leng Wufeng’s eyes grew cold, and he suddenly took out a translucent sword. Not only was it hard to track with the naked eye, but it was even difficult to sense spiritually.

  Despite being right there, it was almost impossible to sense it. Once it was attacking, who could block its attack trajectory? Quite a few experts were shaken.

  They had truly entered the great era. All kinds of monsters were being born, each more monstrous than the last.

  The other experts retreated. They wished to see just how powerful Leng Wufeng was to dare to challenge Long Chen. Although the power he was showing was very strong, not one person thought that he could beat Long Chen. In their minds, there might not be anyone in their generation who could defeat Long Chen alone.

  The concept of Long Chen being unrivaled within the same realm was firmly imprinted in their hearts. In fact, many people were wondering just how many people would be accompanying Long Chen to his death here today. Those people retreated especially far.

  Other than those with great confidence, no one would dare to face Long Chen directly. Even Xie Luo retreated, afraid of being the first unlucky fellow to be targeted by Long Chen.

  Many people wanted to defeat Long Chen to wrest away his current glory, the main thing was that no matter how great that glory was, their lives were more important.

  The ones who could come here were all monstrous geniuses. However, other than Leng Wufeng, no one went forward to fight.

  As for the fact that Leng Wufeng dared to challenge Long Chen, no one praised his bravery. In truth, they sneered at him for his rashness. He was giving others a chance to see Long Chen’s power.

  Long Chen didn’t even look at Leng Wufeng who was in his attack posture. Toward the elder of Pill Valley he asked, “How did you recognize me?”

  The elder laughed. “Long Chen, although you are Pill Valley’s enemy, I have to admire your courage. You really dared to come here. In truth, we knew you had come the instant you entered Pill Valley. To prevent what happened last time, we imprinted your spiritual fluctuations into the grand formation. Your disguise was excellent though, and we couldn’t tell who you were. But we knew you had come.”

  Only then did Long Chen realize that because of the matter of Long San, Pill Valley had made some new preparations. Considering how much he fought in public, Pill Valley was definitely capable of recording his spiritual fluctuations.

  Each cultivator’s spiritual fluctuations were different. Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was extremely strong and special, so it wasn’t strange that they could sense it.

  However, while they had sensed it, it hadn’t been good enough for them to pinpoint where he was. That was because his spiritual fluctuations were disguised with Man Batian’s. Although a trace of his own spiritual fluctuations had leaked out, it was too small and dispersed for them to track. Moreover, to find his specific spiritual fluctuations amongst a crowd of million experts? Impossible.

  This made Long Chen’s guard rise. In the future, when he disguised himself as someone else, he would have to fully seal his Spiritual Strength.

  The elder said, “The first time we suspected who you were was when that faker was killed. Your expression was too calm at that moment. However, it was just a suspicion, and we couldn’t be sure…”

  “So, you sent that pervert to test me.” Long Chen nodded with a faint smile.

  Chapter 2012 Scram!

  When Long Chen said this, Qi Fengxue’s expression completely changed. She also understood and was filled with fury.

  “Despicable!” she shouted at the elder.

  This was clearly a trap targeted for Long Chen. Because Long Chen knew Qi Xuan, who was like a child, he definitely wouldn’t let her be taken advantage of by such a pervert. The fact that Long Chen hadn’t killed him was already great restraint.

  If it was Man Batian, considering his own perverted tendencies, he would have only watched with a smile. He definitely wouldn’t have saved her.

  As a result, Long Chen’s identity was completely exposed. Pill Valley had actually used her little sister to test Long Chen. This was an absolute humiliation to Qi Fengxue.

  “This enmity will be remembered by the Heaven Reaching Ancient Castle! Pill Valley, well done!” Qi Fengxue shuddered with rage and killing intent.

  As for Qi Xuan, she still didn’t understand what had happened or why her big sister was so angry.

  “Miss Fengxue, don’t listen to Long Chen’s nonsense. He is merely trying to sow dissension-” said the elder indifferently.

  “Who do you think Long Chen is? Would he care about sowing dissension between us? Not everyone is as despicable as Pill Valley. The Heaven Reaching Ancient Castle is retreating from the Brahma secret realm! Although we might not be some heaven-shaking power, we won’t allow ourselves to be humiliated like this.” Following Qi Fengxue’s words, thirty-some disciples came to stand by her. Those disciples of the Heaven Reaching Ancient Castle all had furious expressions. Pill Valley had gone too far this time.

  Qi Xuan was actually extremely talented at cultivation, but when it came to her soul, she had an innate deficiency, limiting her intelligence. They viewed her as a child and doted on her. For Pill Valley to do something like this to a handicapped person?

  “Hmph, inverting right and wrong. It was just a test, and it drew out this devil, Long Chen. What’s wrong with it? You can’t even sacrifice this much? It’s not like your little sister actually lost her-”

  One of the ancient race experts had opened his mouth only for Long Chen to send a lightning arrow through his head before he finished speaking. He collapsed, dead.

  “If you want to help a dog eat shit, I won’t oppose you. But you should take note of the setting. When my mood’s not good, I might just end up taking your life if you don’t eat it properly,” said Long Chen indifferently.

  That attack was so quick that no one could react to it. There wasn’t the slightest warning or killing intent. A powerful Empyrean was slain with just a wave of Long Chen’s hand, causing the other experts to retreat even further.

  “Big brother Long Chen, thank you!” Qi Xuan suddenly ran over to Long Chen’s side.

  “What are you thanking me for? This matter was my fault. I’m the one who implicated you. I’m sorry.” Long Chen tenderly rubbed Qi Xuan’s head, comforting her like a big brother.

  “Big brother, you…” Qi Xuan was about to speak, but she was interrupted when a gentle force came from Long Chen’s hand, sending her back to Qi Fengxue. Now wasn’t the time for them to speak.

  He turned back to the elder of Pill Valley. “Where is Yu Xiaoyun? Why hasn’t he come?”

  “You think a little Life Star disciple like you is worth disturbing the valley master? People say you’re smart, but in my eyes, you’re only at this level,” sneered the elder. “At the very least, you’ve made three fatal mistakes.”

  “Oh? So many? Then I want to hear what they are,” said Long Chen with some faint interest.

  “Alright then. In any case, you can’t run, and I’m in no rush. First and most obvious mistake, you shouldn’t have come to Pill Valley. I suppose I can tell you the truth. When we recorded your spiritual fluctuations, our main goal was to find your location. Since Heavenly Fate Island is gone, it’s very difficult to confirm your position. So we were making long-distance sensing tools to find you based on your spiritual fluctuations. These tools aren’t complete yet, but when you arrived here, they suddenly sensed you. We actually thought that they were mistaken, but over a hundred of them sensed your spiritual fluctuations at once, so we were sure you had truly come.”

  Long Chen nodded. “I was truly careless, I admit to that. How
ever, the reason you’re trying to sense my position probably isn’t limited to just that!”

  Long Chen looked closely at the elder’s expression. As expected, there was a trace of shock that was quickly covered up. From that, Long Chen was sure that the reason why they were making those tools wasn’t to find him but the original devil race.

  They wanted to use him to find the original devil race’s lair. After all, Long Chen could walk the continent openly now, and they couldn’t touch him. There was no point in such a thing unless it was for this.

  The elder didn’t directly reply. Instead, he continued, “Your second mistake was that after exposing a clue at the start, you didn’t immediately run. If you had run at that time, you would have had some chance to get away. After all, that was the outer regions and they had weaker defenses. But you missed that chance. Your third mistake was that you fully exposed yourself to save that girl. I was watching you the entire time. You clearly hesitated. That means you knew it was a trap but still decided to take the risk, throwing yourself deeper and deeper into a hole. After saving her, you should have immediately tried to flee. Then there would have been the slightest chance you could have escaped. However, you didn’t, instead continuing to stay here. But even I don’t know why you suddenly attacked Xiong Tianba. Were you worried I wouldn’t notice that you were Long Chen?”
