Only six of the eight members showed up in the end .
Everyone was on tenterhooks . Although two people were still missing, obviously the result would come out soon .
Dongfang Xuanxiao, who was sitting in the middle, also opened his eyes . He looked at Long Chen’s team with a calm face, seeing that they entered the yard . In the meantime, everyone around turned to look at their arms .
“Three, three, and three!”
The seniors were a bit surprised when looking at the Jin Sheng’en’s four-man team .
Apparently, Jin Sheng’en and Chu Yunxi had three jade crystal bracelets on their arms respectively, while the other Juvenile from the Gold Faction also had three jade crystal bracelets .
Combining the two teams, the total number of jade crystal bracelets had reached 12 . It indicated that they basically had robbed everyone else in the Qi Tian Road .
“Twelve bracelets?”
Jin Luan and Chu Tianxiong were a bit dissatisfied . According to their estimation, they should have obtained more .
“Is it…?” When they looked at Long Chen and Yin Mengyao, they were greatly abashed, with their eyes wide open .
“Three, three! They both have three jade crystal bracelets . Plus the other 14 ones, they have 20 jade crystal bracelets in total, which means…”
Everyone was staring at Long Chen and Yin Mengyao in an astonishment . Without a doubt, Yin Mengyao’s competence could at least rank the Top Five . Many people thought that she couldn’t go too far because Long Chen was dragging her behind . However, it was Long Chen who created a turning point for her!
Long Chen had three jade crystal bracelets, which meant that the rest two Silver Faction members would get zero point .
In this case, the four winning teams stood out .
Gu Batian’s face was full of amazement . Gu Cheng and Liu Gui from the Purple Faction also completed the mission as they had kept their jade crystal bracelets safe!
When Gu Cheng came back, he had heard of the story about Long Chen saving them . As a result, he was not surprised for Long Chen’s outstanding performance at all .
Seeing the three s.h.i.+ning jade crystal bracelets on Long Chen’s arms, Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were stunned . They looked at each other, feeling extremely incredible .
“Three, three…”
It meant that they had already taken down two teams . That was the best performance in this Qi
Tian Road examination .
“Long Chen is such a remarkable boy . ” Liu Yuan came to himself, touching his long beard and giving his compliment with a smile . He looked so proud on his face .
“Perhaps Yin Mengyao is more powerful . ”
Liu Lan was feeling difficult to accept the outcome . After all, Long Chen’s rivals were the most horrible people in the outside families . How could Long Chen have acquired such amazing result when he just reached the initial stage of the Earth Dan Realm?
She fell into a trance when seeing Long Chen’s smile, feeling unreal .
“The final battle will take place at the Cave of Life and Death . We will see their true competence there . I hope that he would perform well too . ” Liu Lan also prayed for Long Chen in the dark .
In the meantime, Dongfang Xuanxiao took a glance at the 20 partic.i.p.ants one by one: “Now we have the winners for the Qi Tian Road battle . It’s obvious to see the four teams that stood out . I won’t mention them again . Now I will announce the second grouping plan . ”
Dongfang Xuanxiao had always been a stern and resolute person . He had already began the grouping for the next challenge while everyone else was still feeling astonished by Long Chen’s performance . The winning partic.i.p.ants including Long Chen, got concentrated immediately .
“We will regroup the two-person teams . You will be arranged in different teams . The first group: Jin Sheng’en, Liu Qiong, Liu Gui, Yin Mengyao! And the rest will be the second group . ”
Yin Mengyao was placed into the first group, which meant that Long Chen was in the second group . His rivals would be: another Juvenil from the Gold Faction, Gu Cheng from the Purple Faction, and of course, Chu Yunxi from the Green Faction!
After confirming the regrouping, Chu Yunxi and Long Chen took a look at each other . Seeing Chu Yunxi’s excited but grim eyes, Long Chen merely smiled lightly .
He expected this result as well . He still remembered that Chu Yunxi had finger-attacked him before, and he was still holding the grudge .
“Come on, either you or I must get into the inner faction . ” Yin Mengyao turned around and looked at Long Chen . On her charming face appeared an attractive and confident smile .
“Deal . ” Long Chen confirmed .
In the meantime, Dongfang
Dongfang Yunxiao continued: “Now the regrouping is completed . You can take a short break . When you come back at tomorrow noon, we will officially begin the battle at the Cave of Life and Death . ”
“Yes!” Everyone must follow Dongfang Yunxiao’s order, including the seniors .
“Wait . ” The Silver Faction senior interrupted him, looking at Yin Mengyao calmly and spoke: “Yao, where are Li Feng and w.a.n.g Tong?”
Long Chen had already known that they would ask such question . Since he was the one who killed them, he would never hesitate to admit it . However, before he confessed, Yin Mengyao was one step ahead and spoke flatly: “I killed them” .
Hearing such indifferent tone, everyone was shocked and silenced, while the the Silver Faction senior tightened her face, appearing to be sullen and grim .
The new generation of Silver Faction used to be the most das.h.i.+ng group among the nine outside families, but now, Yin Mengyao alone became their only hope . What was wrong?
As for the grudges between Ying Mengyao and Li Feng and w.a.n.g Tong, the Silver Faction senior was well aware and had always been interfering their fights . However, she didn’t expect that they still had a decisive battle in the Qi Tian Road .
“Well, let it go . ” The Silver Faction senior let out a long sigh . She looked much older with that frustrated face in a moment .
Realizing that she didn’t look into the fact, Long Chen felt relieved . If he admitted that he killed Li Feng, this old lady must not spare him . Luckily, Yin Mengyao took the bullet for him by risking great danger .
That was just a small incident . Soon enough, everyone gradually went away under Dongfang Xuanxiao’s arrangement . Before leaving, Chu Yunxi even threw a provoking expression towards Long Chen, making a throat-cutting mimic .
“Stupid . ” Long Chen despised him in the dark .
At that moment, the seniors of nine outside families were going to leave with their members . Dongfang Xuanxiao took the lead . Seeing that Dongfang Yunxiao left, Long Chen said to Yin Mengyao standing by his side: “Mengyao, is this Lord Xuanxiao very powerful? It seems that all the seniors are afraid of him . ”
A sign of admiration appeared on Yin Mengyao’s face: “In the Eastern Azure Dragon Faction, there are four powerful members under the supreme leader, they are Feng, Yu, Yun and Xiao . Amongst them, Lord
them, Lord Xuanxiao is the strongest one . He is the master regarded as the Most Powerful Figure under the Heaven River . What do you think?”
“Under the Heaven River?” Long Chen suddenly realized that the Heaven River Realm might rank right above the Heaven Dan Realm .
The Heaven River, known as the river for 18 zodiacs in the sky . The Heaven River Realm possesses the heavenly power of stars, which was a terrifying existence! As Xuanxiao was considered as the most powerful figure under the Heaven River, he must have mastered extremely profound techniques .
“Long Chen, I’m going now, see you tomorrow noon . ”
After finis.h.i.+ng her words, Yin Mengyao left together with the Silver Faction senior . Perhaps she would detail the story about Li Feng and w.a.n.g Tong . Besides, she was intoxified by viper venom, she needed a good rest for two hours for the next battle .
As for the Green Faction, the Chu’s family had already left, but Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were still standing there in a trance . At the moment, Gu Batian walked over with laughter, greeting with Liu Yuan and patting Long Chen’s shoulder: “Good guy, you’re doing quite well! I appreciate your performance!”
Liu Yuan and Liu Lan were all confused .
“Mr . Gu, what do you mean?” Liu Yuan asked with some doubts .
“He save Gu Cheng and Liu Gui’s life under the attack of a pack of Abyssal Poison Scorpions . How awesome is that!”
Gu Batian also showed a trace of grat.i.tude on his face . After all, Gu Cheng was his grandson who almost lost his life!
Abyssal Poison Scorpion was a Level 4 Profound Grade toxic beast . Under the attack of a pack of Abyssal Poison Scorpions, Long Chen still saved two people, which meant that he must have achieved an equal martial level of Gu Cheng?
“Senior Gu, you told me before, that we should look after each other . This is what I’m supposed to do, it’s nothing . If I got into danger, they would help me too . ”
Long Chen responded him with sincerity .
Indeed, speaking of personality, Gu Cheng and Liu Gui were similar with Gu Batian . They were good people, zealous and earnest .
After the battle in the Qi Tian Road, Long Chen’s team was in need of good preparation . Instead of bothering him, Gu Batian took them to the resting place, providing one room for each of them .
The peak of the Cave
of the Cave of Life and Death was freezing cold and gloomy . Only when they entered the solid house built by Lingwu Family could they feel warmer .
“Come and see these two little guys, let’s check what’s inside . ”
After closing the door, Long Chen showed his true color and took out Li Feng and w.a.n.g Tong’s Cosmos Pouches . That was the first time he killed someone and got the treasure, so he was a bit excited .
“So many deity jades!” Long Chen got exhilarated when seeing so much property .
They sorted out these jades and finally got the statistics . Long Chen’s face was full of smile .
“We have 400 thousand deity jades . How rich are these two guys…”
After killing someone and taking treasure from them for the first time, Long Chen tasted the blood . He couldn’t help fantasizing how rich he could get if he made money in such speed .
“How many spirit gra.s.ses can I trade with these deity jades?” Ling Xi turned her head sideway, supporting her chin with her arms, blinking her big eyes and pondering .
“Let’s check if there’s anything else!” Indeed, they saw a.s.sortment bit of everything beside the deity jades . In w.a.n.g Tong’s Cosmos Pouch, there were even some girly stuffs like underwears . However, with the presence of Ling Xi, Long Chen must act like a decent man and refrain himself from looking at them .
“Profound Elementary-Grade Martial Technique, Profound Intermediate-Grade Martial Technique, numerous spirit medicines, and a Profound Intermediate-Grade Weapon . ”
Among the other items, many were Profound Elementary-Grade spirit medicines and some Profound Intermediate-Grade ones . The most precious item was the Profound Intermediate-Grade Battle Halberd!
The battle halberd had a brilliant black body, of which the edge was sharp and s.h.i.+ning, constantly giving off a trace of algidity .
Long Chen flipovered the battle halberd and took a closer look, discovering a tattoo of deity dragon on it . A deity dragon was puffing clouds and smokes, which appeared to be very intimidating .
“Is it the Azure Dragon’s Battle Halberd, isn’t it?” Ling Xi was a bit surprised though .
“No, it’s not . ” Long Chen flipovered the battle halberd for a few times and said: “I guess it’s a replica . But anyway battle halberds are great weapons, I like them . ”
“Since Mo Xiaolang has obtained the Sky Wolf Phantom Blade, why don’t you try to fight for the Azure Dragon’s Battle Halberd?” Ling Xi spitted out such words abruptly .
