    “The Earth Grade Divine Weapon?” Long Chen drew in his breath. The Earth Grade was right above the Profound Grade. He didn’t expect the presence of the Earth Grade Divine Weapons in Yuanling City.


    “Well, it makes sense anyway. We have the super experts more powerful than the Heaven Dan Realm, so we should have the Earth Grade Divine Weapons for a match.”


    “These Five Great Divine Weapons are of utmost valiance. Each of them possesses one cross grade martial technique. I heard that each martial technique includes one Earth Grade Martial Technique!”


    Long Chen had already seen the inherited martial technique of the Divine Weapons. He even had experience in the martial technique within the Origin Reverting Fruit. For him it was just normal enough.


    “However, it’s murder to acquire such Divine Weapons. Toprehend the martial techniques contained in the Divine Weapons is even tougher. To obtain the acknowledgement of the Divine Weapons and to truly be the master of the Divine Weapons are of extreme difficulty. But Long Chen, you know, Mo Xiang happens to have achieved all these three steps!”


    “And then?” Long Chen had a vague feeling that the problem lied in the third step. The Sky Wolf Phantom de belonged to the Lingwu Family, yet Mo Xiang took it over. How would the Lingwu Family let him go?


    Indeed, Yin Mengyao gave a sigh, saying: “When the inner faction learned that Mo Xiang has already be the master of Sky Wolf Phantom de, the leaders of four factions all made a move to draw Xiang to their sides. Xiang also ostensibly agreed to stay in the Lingwu Family. However, I know that Xianges from Cangyang Imperial City, that he is bearing a deep grudge and determined to revenge. Someday he will leave here and take the Sky Wolf Phantom de away.”


    Long Chen thought about it and said: “Do you mean that the inner faction simply made up the story that Mo Xiang is put into the Star Fiend Prison for killing some inner faction member?”


    “Yes!” Yin Mengyao nodded and said: “These are just excuses. They put Mo Xiang into the Star Fiend Prison because they knew that he will leave the Lingwu Family one day. They did this to imprison him. But Xiang is genius, it’s such a pity to kill him anyway.”


    “In fact, Xiang is very smart. He only wants to agree with them ostensibly while nning to slip away in the dark, however, he was framed by the few people he trusted the most. To be honest, I, Xiang, Li Feng and Wang Tong used to be good friends before, but I didn’t expect that they would have told Xiang’s n to the inner faction in order to help Wang Tong get the elixir for achieving the initial stage of Earth Dan Realm. Otherwise, Xiang would have already left here, instead of being caged in the Star Fiend Prison.”


    Long Chen finally understood why Yin Mengyao hated their guts. Indeed, such selfish people who sold their friend out for their own interest didn’t deserve to be forgiven.


    Long Chen finallyprehended the whole story about Mo Xiang.


    However, he couldn’t do anything about that at the moment. He could never reach the Star Fiend Prison. Even he wanted to return the favor to Mo Xiang, his hands were tied.


    Seeing Long Chen’s sighing, Yin Mengyao asked him abruptly: “Do you know why I’m so eager to get into the inner faction?”


    “Why?” Long Chen asked.


    “Because the disciples of the inner faction are eligible to practice martial art in the Star Fiend Prison. If I can join the inner faction, I will have the right to enter the Star Fiend Prison and save Xiang.”


    After going through somemon trials and tribtions together, Yin Mengyao had figured out Long Chen’s personality, knowing that he was a good person in nature. That was why she told him everything without any reservation.


    “Save him?” Hearing these words, Long Chen felt a bit refreshed.


    “That sounds like a good idea, but is the Star Fiend Prison a ce to lock up the prisoners? How can anyone practice there?”


    “Well, it seems that you don’t know too much about the Star Fiend Prison.” Yin Mengyao crossed over a sturdy tree root, speaking while walking: “The Star Fiend Prison is not only a prison, but also a great ce for practicing martial technique.”


    “What do you mean?” Long Chen was a bit surprised.


    “Although I haven’t been into the Star Fiend Prison before, I heard some rumors that some locations in the Star Fiend Prison have strong gravity. If the gravity reaches at some point, it’s difficult to escape from there, which makes it an ideal ce for imprisonment. But proper gravity would be beneficial to the Martial Warriors.”


    Gravity? Long Chen understood that any movement would be hindered under great gravity, as if bearing a great amount of burden, which was good for practicing. With enough gravity, the practice effect would be enhanced.


    “The gravity in the Star Fiend Prison is not only good for practicing martial technique, but also beneficial for practicing your Qi. Under strong gravity, it’s much more difficult to use your Qi to practice. In the long term, you can foster a more solid Qi inside your body. Especially for some Martial Warriors who grew too fast in practicing, it’s of great help.”


    Long Chen was that kind of person who grew too fast in practicing martial techniques.


    At the moment, Ling Xi Sword had some movement. Long Chen understood the indication immediately though Ling Xi didn’t speak. He knew that going to the Star Fiend Prison would be beneficial for him at this stage.


    “Joining the inner faction, getting into the Star Fiend Prison and saving Xiang, these are my goals. Long Chen, you will not tell anyone else, will you?” Yin Mengyao tentatively asked.


    “These are my goals, too.” Long Chen smiled.


    “Really?” Yin Mengyao was somewhat a bit surprised, “Well, if that is the case, let’s make a deal: whoever gets into the inner faction will go to the Star Fiend Prison, how about that?”


    “Of course.” Long Chen was also determined to see how Mo Xiang was doing there.


    To be honest, he came to the Lingwu Family partially because Mo Xiang was here.


    …


    On the Life and Death Devil Mountain, the higher they reached, the gloomier and ghastlier it got. The temperature around had reached an icy point, yet the water didn’t freeze at all. Furthermore, it looked odd that no snow appeared on such a high mountain as the Life and Death Devil Mountain.


    “This is ghastly cold, not icy cold.”


    The air already got fairly thin here. Long Chen climbed from mountain foot to the mountain top, crossing through the dark clouds, the thunders and the lightnings, as if they just took ce near him.


    “Here we are.”


    Yin Mengyao looked up and spoke with a little excitement.


    After crossing the dense jungle, they saw a great piece of bold ck earth, which indicated that they had already passed the Qi Tian Road.


    On the barren, ck and tough rocks, they kept moving up. Soon afterwards, they saw a fortified point set by the Lingwu Family in front of them.


    When Long Chen’s team walked out of the Qi Tian Road, he saw that Chu Yunxi and his team also went out of Qi Tian Road from another direction.


    The two teams had their eyes to eyes, which generated some sparkles in an instant.


    Meanwhile, at the fortified point of the Lingwu Family, there was a big yard where the Nine Seniors were sitting in a circle, while the other members were standing behind them. The Lord Xuanxiao, who had a stern face was sitting in the middle, resting with his eyes closed.


    On the opposite of the yard, twelve young men with pale faces were standing there.


    Among the nine outer families, everyone had already gone through Qi Tian Road before them, except for the talented warriors in the Gold Faction, the Silver Faction and the Green Faction. Or, some people knew that they were hopeless to advance, so they just broke the firework signal and asked to be brought to the top of the Life and Death Devil Mountain.


    However, everyone was confused that only two Juveniles of the Purple Faction out of the twelve people still had their jade crystal bracelets, while the ones for the others were gone for no reasons.


    The seniors asked them for a reason yet got a surprising one. Except for the jade crystal bracelet from the Scarlet Faction that had been taken by Yin Mengyao, all other jade crystal bracelets were snatched by Jin Sheng’en’s team.


    After learning this news, other seniors all red angrily at the senior of the Gold Faction, Jin Luan and the senior of the Green Faction, Chu Tianxiong.


    “Well, well, well! How shameless are you two old men! Lord Xuanxiao, obviously they have taken advantage of our rules! It’s unfair!”


    “What do you mean? The juniors made their own decision, we have nothing to do with that! Besides, it only proves that your Blue Faction Juniors are ipetent!”


    Jin Luan and Chu Tianxiong smiled at each other. They argued with the others without any guilt.


    “Stop it, we still have the Life and Death Cave.”


    Dongfang Xuanxiao spoke with a stern voice.


    Since someone from the inner faction gave his words, the others stopped moaning. Even the seniors all shut their mouths up.


    Xuanxiao was right. What the inner faction needed was two powerful fighters. The mostpetent ones would never be defeated easily even when all the other four rivals unite together and go against them. No matter how awesome the Jin Sheng’en’s team were performing, they would still have to face the Life and Death Cave.


    Among all those seniors, Jin Luan and Chu Tianxiong were the most content. For Jin Luan, the three Juveniles of the Gold Faction would surely pass to Level 2, and Chu Yunxi would go along with him as well.


    Everyone was pondering in the dark. There were only eight people still absent.


    The other two members of the Silver Faction were equallypetent with the present ones. If they got lucky, they might be able to keep their jade crystal bracelets. If not, they might juste back with bare hands.


    As for Yin Mengyao, with such a cumbrance as Long Chen, if she met Jin Sheng’en, she basically would have to fight against four people on her own, not to mention that she could still keep the jade crystal on her hand!


    On the Silver Faction’s position, a beautiful youngdy was full of concern: “How unlucky my Mengyao is! She met such a big trouble! I assume that her jade bracelet is gone too.”


    The senior of the Silver Faction also put up a mncholy face: “Well, Jin Luan and Chu Tianxiong should be the ones to me. They are so shameless.”


    Liu Lan and Liu Yuan behind Chu Tianxiong were seriously worried too, because Long Chen hadn’t showed up yet.


    “Father, Chu Yunxi hates Long Chen’s guts. Maybe Long Chen is already killed by him on the Qi Tian Road, maybe he didn’t even have the chance to release the firework signal…”


    Liu Yuan forced a smile and shook his head: “I have no idea. We can only sit here and wait for a miracle…”


    When everybody was waiting in silence, two teams were approaching from far, staring at each other with murderous looks.


    “Long Chen!” Seeing that Long Chen was still alive, Liu Lan and Liu Yuan stroke their chests and felt relieved.


    “He finally survived, I’m so proud of him.” Liu Yuan was surprised.


    While Liu Lan was watching the confident smile on that Juvenile’s face.


    It seemed that everything was under his control.
