“I’m your Seventh Uncle now?” Long Chen was speechless.
That was actually correct. Long Chen referred to Jiang Wuya as ‘Second Brother,’ and Liu Yiyi was Jiang Wuya’s daughter.
But it was very awkward to have someone of the same age address him as ‘uncle.’
“Alright. Let’s go back to the Battle n.” When Long Chen saw Liu Yiyi returning to her happy self, he knew that her mindset had changed. This was a good thing.
It was not that she was not a good person. He just had his own goals, and he did not want to be an irresponsible man who gave jerk promises he could never fulfill. How would he be different from Zhao Danchen if he did that?
He was doing it all for Liu Yiyi’s good.
Ling Xi was waiting for him, and she may have been suffering. The moment he thought about her, he felt like countless ants were crawling on his heart.
They both moved in the Battle n’s direction.
“Yiyi, wait …” Long Chen suddenly stopped. He wanted to go, but he suddenly remembered something.“What is it?” Liu Yiyi’s innocent face had the reflection of moisture.
“I don’t think I’ve given you a present yet. Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s enough to protect you.” Long Chen took out the small Ancient Demon g from the Primordial realm.
When he left Martial Overlord City, he had taken the Ancient Demon g for himself, and using it was very easy. Previously, Zhao Danchen was able to use the Ancient Demon g the moment he snatched it, so it made sense that Long Chen could too. He summoned the Ancient Demon Corpse. Although it was very strong and may be useful to Long Chen, he thought it would be better to give it to Liu Yiyi to ensure her safety. This was thest thing he could do for her.
“Isn’t this the … Ancient Demon g?” She covered her mouth in surprise.
“No way, Long Chen! That’s too valuable. I can’t ept it …” She did not care about the Ancient Demon Corpse being ugly. She just felt like it would be very important to Long Chen.
Long Chen shook his head and said, “I beat Zhao Danchen with my own hands. The Ancient Demon Corpse is useless to me. Take it. In the future, when I leave, let him protect you in my ce. If my siblings are in danger, help them. Your father is part of the Dragon n after all. Let me teach you how to use the Ancient Demon g.”
He spoke with determination. Although she was not willing to ept it, she could not convince Long Chen otherwise. Plus, she felt a sweetness in her heart when she thought about how he was thinking about her safety.
Therefore, Liu Yiyi learned how to control the Ancient Demon Corpse. If she used it well, she would be the equivalent of the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator.
Long Shan was the only member of the Dragon n that had thebat abilities of a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, but he was very old and did not have much time left. It was a good thing for Liu Yiyi’s Ancient Demon Corpse to manage the situation until other people reached the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage.
After giving quite a few instructions, Long Chen realized that he could finally leave the Divine Martial Empire and embark on his long journey with peace of mind!
What would the future be like?
How many people would find their way into his life? How many people would die by his hand?
These were all unknowns.
Just as he was prepared to return, a strange phenomenon happened. There was a deep rumble from far away. Long Chen quickly looked up at the sky. To his shock, part of the western sky had turned red.
“Long Chen, isn’t that a sign that the Ancient Token will appear?” Liu Yiyi said hurriedly, as she had heard about it.
Long Chen nodded with surprise. “I think so. I didn’t think the Ancient Token would appear now. After the red light, the Ancient Token may appear at any time. Based on the direction, it should be on the Immortal Sea’s side. The Huangfu n is close to the Immortal Sea, so once Feng Xuan sees this strange phenomenon, she will surely rush over. I cannot be slower than her …”
“You go. I will inform my father and the rest so they can go take over the Divine Martial Empire, and move our base to Martial Overlord City,” Liu Yiyi said conscientiously.”
Long Chen nodded and said without hesitation, “I’ll go, then.”
“Mhm. Be careful. Staying alive is the priority. If you can’t get it, leave it. There will be more in the future.” There was concern in Liu Yiyi’s sparkling eyes.
“This is my only chance,” he said, clenching his teeth. “I’m going!” Long Chen turned into a gust of wind, quickly disappearing from her sight.
“Be …” As she watched him disappear, she swallowed the word “careful” back down resignedly. Her eyes were still fixed in the direction he had gone towards. After a long time, she wiped away a single tear.
***
Long Chen felt assured handing over the matters of the Divine Martial Empire to Long Yue and the others. With Long Shan and the Ancient Demon Corpse, as well as two Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivators, he believed they could easily control the whole empire. As long as Feng Xuan left, the Huangfu n would easily return to Huangfu Fengchen’s hands.
Of course, Long Chen’s help was also very important.
His fight would be the most critical!
Feng Xuan was surely more difficult to deal with than Zhao Danchen!
“Whether or not I get to go to the Ancient Graveyard will depend on my sess this round. Feng Xuan must have arrived at the Immortal Sea by now.”
He had guessed it correctly. As he neared the Immortal Sea, he could faintly sense that the Ancient Token was appearing there, where he had been before!
The endless, white sea of mist had turnedpletely red, so it was more apt to call it a red sea of mist instead of white.
Long Chen traveled as fast as he could to the center of the Immortal Sea. The sea of mist in the sky was now a bloody sea with red light flowing through, making it look terrifying.
“It’s up there.” Then he flew up into the sky, towards Sky Isle. He had a feeling that the Ancient Token was near it.
At the same time, he activated the Soul Swallowing Gaze.
If Feng Xuan appeared within five hundred meters of him, Long Chen would find her. The most important thing this time was not finding the Ancient Token, but killing Feng Xuan!
Once she was dead, then the Ancient Token would belong to him. If she wasn’t dead, he would not be able to live in peace even if he got the Ancient Token. This was because if Feng Xuan couldn’t find Long Chen, she could go kill his siblings. And would Long Chen ever let such a thing happen?
In short, either she or Long Chen had to die today!
Not even half a day had passed since his battle against Zhao Danchen.
Thankfully, he had shocking healing abilities, so he had almost recovered to his peak state.
Furthermore, he had even more confidence in this battle than the previous one!
The closer he got to Sky Isle, the redder his surroundings became. After the phenomenon began, all the birds and beasts of the Immortal Sea became strangely ufortable. They cried out all constantly and flew erratically. After the Heavenly Phoenix died, they had lost their protector and became timid.
Flocks of avian-type beasts flew in a panicked manner as if they were in a storm.
Long Chen activated his Dragon Soul Transformation and released his powerful aura. The birds were familiar with his aura, recognizing him as the person who had killed the Heavenly Phoenix. That was why when they encountered him, they quickly flew away at top speed.
Very soon, he spotted Sky Isle.
<em>It’s too bad that I don’t have much time, or I would have looked at the Five Emperor Seals first. Maybe fighting Feng Xuan would be easier that way, </em>Long Chen thought to himself as hended on Sky Isle.
<em>But even the Deste Divine Seal was so difficult to cultivate. It might take me a month or two to master the Five Emperor Seals. If I can kill that bitch Feng Xuan, I’ll try it out. I want to see what secrets the Five Emperor Seals hold!</em>
With that thought, he pushed the Five Emperor Seals out of his mind.
He walked through the isle, carefully observing his surroundings. He soon appeared at the square he previously arrived at, and when he approached, he squinted because he had spotted Feng Xuan with the Soul Swallowing Gaze.
He deactivated it, then charged forward for a while. He could already see her curvy figure standing in front of the tombstone where heprehended the Deste Divine Seal.
<em>Did she also notice the mysteriousness of the tombstone? </em>Long Chen was privately surprised.
Very soon, he was ten meters behind her.
Feng Xuan turned around abruptly. She was not wearing a white veil on her face this time. Her face had a light blush, and she radiated a seductive aura.
When she saw that it was Long Chen, she smiled, as if meeting a friend she had not seen in a long time. “Long Chen, you came?”
Long Chen did not dare let his guard down before this cunning woman. He calmed down and said coldly, “Either you or I will die today. Do we still need to talk nonsense?”
When she heard him, she giggled and said, “You really aren’t likable at all, you know? What conflict is there between us? What happened in the past were just minor issues. As they say, you make friends through a fight.”
“What are you trying to say?” Long Chen furrowed his brows.
When Feng Xuan saw that Long Chen was not affected by her, her expression cooled and she said, “I can see that you’re an impressive prodigy. It would be a pity if you just died here. You’re young, so why do you want to fight me for the Ancient Token? You will have many more chances to enter the Ancient Graveyard, but I only have this chance. Go back now, and once I seed, I will help you defeat Zhao Danchen. What do you think?”
“Zhao Danchen is dead. I just killed him!” he replied immediately.
