Chapter 962

Lu Minghan had just attached his head before he began to roar furiously . Killing intent soared out of his body .

A grand King had been injured by a group of Sea Expansion disciples, and even had his head cut off . That was an unbearable insult .

“Lu Minghan, calm down!” shouted Li Changfeng .

“Shut up, how am I supposed to calm down!? I’ll kill that bastard Long Chen . Break!” Lu Minghan roared furiously . Majestic energy suddenly erupted from within his body, causing heaven and earth to shake .

“Have you gone insane? You want to obliterate the entire Xuantian Dao Sect?!” shouted Li Changfeng . Lu Minghan was using his core energy . The core energy of a King would destroy the Xuantian Dao Sect .

“Shut the hell up! Release me from these nuisance chains now, or I’ll do anything I want!” roared Lu Minghan .

Lu Minghan and Li Changfeng were both from the head sect, but they were from two different departments . Li Changfeng was part of the Elder’s Hall, while Lu Minghan was part of the Law Enforcement Hall .

When it came to official titles, Li Changfeng’s position was a level higher than Lu Minghan’s . But because Lu Minghan came from the Law Enforcement Hall, his position was rather special .

The Law Enforcement Hall’s Elders all had the power to punish disciples and Elders . An insufferable culture had begun brewing there, and their way of speaking to others was loathsome . But because of their special power, the other Elders had to endure it, which only stoked the flames of their arrogance .

Although this mission was being led by Li Changfeng, Lu Minghan didn’t respect him much . In his fury, he didn’t care anymore .

Fury brought more fury . Li Changfeng finally stopped restraining himself . He originally didn’t like the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, especially not when they acted like this .

“Be suppressed!” Li Changfeng’s expression was dark as he formed new hand seals . The chains binding Long Chen and the others released and bound Lu Minghan .

Chain after chain rapidly whirled around Lu Minghan . He was tightly bound into a ball .

“Li Changfeng, you dare to suppress me?! I-”

Bound by these chains, he found his power suppressed, and he was unable to release any of his techniques . His furious roar was cut off suddenly as the chains began to move even faster . Even his head was bound, until he eventually became a chain cocoon .

Li Changfeng was ashen . Lu Minghan was completely unreasonable . With a wave of his hand, the ball of chains that was Lu Minghan disappeared .

“Long Chen, come with me . ”

Long Chen and the others hadn’t even reacted to what was happening when Li Changfeng extended a hand . Not allowing Long Chen to resist, the two of them disappeared .

Long Chen was shocked . Although they were both Kings, Li Changfeng was much stronger than Lu Minghan . He didn’t have the slightest ability to resist him . He finally understood just how far he was from a King .

The two of them appeared on a mountain that was tens of thousands of miles from the Xuantian Dao Sect . He didn’t know what technique Li Changfeng had used to bring him here .

“This trip to the Eastern Wasteland was handled poorly,” sighed Li Changfeng .

“Senior…” Long Chen didn’t know what to say .

Li Changfeng waved his hand, saying, “This matter isn’t your fault . Of course, it can’t be blamed on me either . Ugh, I’ll have to go back and report on this mission now .

“However, before I go, let me warn you, Long Chen . Being too stubborn will make you lose more . Whether you want to view me as an Elder or just an old senior, it doesn’t matter . After all, you are one of my Dao Sect’s disciples . I don’t want to see your temper provoke a calamity . Although you had people come to support you this time, luck isn’t dependable . You shouldn’t always depend on such an ephemeral thing . ”

Li Changfeng was giving him his heartfelt advice . He felt pity for him, but his temper also gave him a headache .

Long Chen bitterly smiled . He knew Li Changfeng was being kind, but what other way was there? Whether he was low-key or wildly arrogant, he seemed doomed to have a bumpy life full of frustrations .

Since the results either way were the same, why not do as he pleased? Why always concede and compromise? It was one thing if yielding would make him safe . Then he would yield . After all, he had people he cared about . But yielding didn’t make things safer; it just made things worse . More people would think he was easy to bully, not hesitating to trample over him . So why yield then?

“I’ll remember senior’s golden words of wisdom . ” Long Chen bowed slightly . Long Chen wasn’t actually someone who didn’t know how to repay kindness . He knew exactly who had been good to him .

“As for your secrets, I’m not interested in them, and the Dao Sect isn’t interested in them . But you have to remember, when five fingers extend, they aren’t all united . In a sect with as many people as the Xuantian Dao Sect, it’s difficult to avoid some people who have wicked thoughts . So be careful in the future . Always try to leave some thoughts for the consequences instead of just losing your mind in a fit of rage,” said Li Changfeng .

“Yes . ” Long Chen could only nod .

Having completed the fourth star of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, his senses were only growing stronger . He was extremely sensitive to feelings of kindness or wickedness . No one could trick him .

So from the start, Long Chen had known that Lu Minghan wasn’t a good person . The only thing in his heart was greed, and so he wasn’t courteous to him at all .

“There’s still half a year until the branch sects’ elites can gather for the head sect’s disciple selection . Once you pass, you’ll be able to cultivate in the head sect . The Central Plains is the true place for heavenly geniuses to cultivate . As for the Eastern Wasteland, you’ll understand how insignificant it is in the future . Alright, people really do talk more as they get older . I have to return to the head sect to report on this matter . If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can go ask your sect master . ”

Li Changfeng’s figure suddenly vanished from Long Chen’s sight . Long Chen didn’t even know what direction he had gone .

“The Central Plains?”

Long Chen was a bit apprehensive and excited . He had long since heard that the Central Plains was a holy land for cultivation . Geniuses covered the land, and no matter how talented you were, you would be drowned by countless other geniuses .

He also knew that the Skywood Divine Palace was in the Central Plains . In other words, only by going to the Central Plains could he see Chu Yao again .

Thinking of Chu Yao, of their interactions in Phoenix Cry, a fire lit up in Long Chen’s heart, as well as some grief .

Chu Yao was a peaceful girl who didn’t like fighting . She was easily satisfied . But to protect Long Chen, to make herself stronger, she had left the Eastern Wasteland and had gone to the incredibly distant Central Plains . All of that had been for him .

However, Long Chen felt uneasy . His origins were a mystery, one that had been perplexing him for a long time . Instead of feeling like he was getting closer to the answer, as his cultivation base grew, all he felt was that this world grew vaster with him .

Before he reached the peak of the martial path, he was not to investigate his origins . That was what that unknown servant had said before disappearing .

Back then, Long Chen had thought that the servant should have been a Xiantian expert . But back then, he hadn’t understood what a Dao Transformation was . But now he knew . Only Celestials possessed the qualifications to do so, and they had to have at least reached the fourth rank .

Transforming into the Dao required the assistance of Spirit Blood . The servant had turned himself into nothingness and severed all karma related to him, all to protect Long Chen .

He shook his head, forcing out those unsteady thoughts . No matter how strong his enemies were, no matter how terrifying they were, there was no need to have so many misgivings since he had made his choice .

Furthermore, once he went to the Central Plains, he wouldn’t be alone . Chu Yao was there, and he had also sensed Ye Zhiqiu’s aura in the Immemorial Path . He was sure she would also go to the Central Plains . In fact, perhaps she was already there .

Other than that, he thought of a certain person who liked to laugh and show off . That person’s face was still a bit immature and baby-like . He was Mo Nian .

According to his grandfather, Mo Nian would definitely become an amazing figure now that he was a Celestial . He had to go to their ancestral land in the Central Plains to receive the inheritance . Back then, Mo Nian had said he would soar and reach the peak of the continent .

Thinking of that, Long Chen felt a burst of warmth . He didn’t just have enemies . He also had friends he could depend on .

The thing that Long Chen found odd was that a person he had been expecting hadn’t appeared . Where was Leng Yueyan?

She hadn’t appeared during their attack against the Corrupt path, and she also hadn’t appeared when the Corrupt path had attacked the Xuantian Dao Sect .

Had she already left the Eastern Wasteland? Or was she in seclusion? After thinking about it for a while, Long Chen decided to not bother with her . In any case, her target was him, not the others . There was nothing to be afraid of .

Another matter that rested in his heart was the Eastern Wasteland Bell . He didn’t know where it had run off to . If he had a chance, he would definitely get it to owe him another favor . Then he really would be unstoppable .

Long Chen’s thoughts were chaotic for a while as he thought of many things . Some things were exciting and some things were nerve-wracking . The Central Plains would be his bigger playing field .

Long Chen suddenly thought of those four idiots that had undergone tribulation in the Immemorial Path . Perhaps he would be able to encounter them in the Central Plains .

“Fuck, there are really too many idiots . How am I supposed to be low-key? Am I supposed to just let them step all over me?”

Long Chen spat on the ground . The best way to handle these idiots was to viciously slap them in the face . Only once their faces swelled up to the same size as their asses would they remember their lessons .

Although Li Changfeng had advised him kindly, Long Chen had his own experience . He decided to continue according to his own style .

He returned to the Xuantian Dao Sect and told Ouyang Qiuyu that Li Changfeng had left . Ouyang Qiuyu was currently infuriated . Li Changfeng had been enraged by Lu Minghan’s actions and couldn’t bring himself to see Ouyang Qiuyu again . Although it hadn’t been his fault, he was too embarrassed to see her .

“Big sister, I need to ask you a serious question . ” Long Chen suddenly thought of something .
