Chapter 1592 - Ageless and Immortal

The voice made Jiang Chen, Xiao Hongxue, and Lin Yu’eru pale at the same time.

“Grand Master!”

Xiao Hongxue was the most shocked. He shivered.

It was not difficult to figure out who the man that could influence a Venerable Sovereign to such an extent was.

Everyone felt thrilled. They opened their eyes wide in order not to miss anything about this legendary man.

“Long Xing!”

Jiang Chen said his name to himself silently and looked toward where the voice had come from.

He looked even younger than Xiao Hongxue. He was about 30 years old, fair-skinned and beardless. The white robe he was wearing was blowing in the wind. His extraordinary aspect presented itself so naturally.

He walked over in the air. Everything moved with him as if he was the center of the world.

“Lord!”

Those from the Sovereign Spirit Palace and the other eight palaces greeted him with respect and admiration.

“Grand Master, please excuse my nonsense.”

Xiao Hongxue’s arrogance was finally gone. Looking at Lin Yu’eru again, he said, “Master Auntie, I didn’t mean that.”

He automatically thought it was for Lin Yu’eru’s sake that Long Xing was so angry.

People always took delight in talking about the relations between Long Xing and Lin Yu’eru. The two had been living together for five centuries, and both of them were outstanding strong people.

In others’ eyes, they were a perfect couple. But later people heard they were only brother and sister. People learned this from the way Long Xing’s three apprentices addressed her.

Lin Yu’eru looked worried now.

“Is that all you can say? Do you know how absurd what you did was? The man in front of you is way beyond you, and the two of you can’t even be compared,” Long Xing said angrily.

Everyone was stunned. If they guessed right, the man he was talking about was Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen and Lin Yu’eru exchanged a look, both extremely surprised. It seemed as if Long Xing wasn’t worrying that people would learn the truth.

“It is exactly thanks to what he did that you and all the others have gotten what you have now.”

“Now, apologize to him and admit your mistake,” Long Xing added.

Xiao Hongxue was struck dumb by his request, “Grand Master?” He looked at Long Xing, and then from Long Xing to Jiang Chen.

“Otherwise you won’t be my apprentice anymore from today on. You won’t be a member of the Sovereign Spirit Palace either,” said Long Xing.

This started a great disturbance. People would never have expected Long Xing to be so serious about this incident. And it was only because of Jiang Chen.

Xiao Hongxue looked hideous. He gnashed his teeth. He was so angry that his eyes looked like they could emit fire.

“What are you waiting for?” Long Xing asked sternly, ignoring Xiao Hongxue’s reaction.

“Grand Master, I…”

Xiao Hongxue looked up. He was going to argue that he was not convinced, but when he met Long Xing’s eyes, he was dumbfounded.

After a long while, he adjusted his facial expression a little and looked toward Jiang Chen.

“I apologize for what I said and did. I shouldn’t have done whatever I wanted just because I’m a Venerable Sovereign. I beg your forgiveness,” Xiao Hongxue said mechanically and emotionlessly.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and nodded at him.

Then Xiao Hongxue just disappeared.

People noticed Long Xing shaking his head, as if he was really disappointed at his apprentice.

Then Long Xing marched up to Jiang Chen. He did something astonishing under Lin Yu’eru’s nervous gaze. Holding Jiang Chen tightly, he said emotionally, “I knew you weren’t dead.”

“What?” Jiang Chen was confused. He looked toward Lin Yu’eru, who was next to him. This was very different from what she had told him.

“What’s wrong? Young Master, I am Long Xing,” added Long Xing.

“Young Master?” People were petrified by the way Long Xing called Jiang Chen master.

“Who was this Jiang Chen? Why could he make Long Xing react this way?”

“Long Xing has been living for 500 years. The reincarnated Sovereign Spirit holders are also from 500 years ago. So, is that because of a previous life?”

“But Jiang Chen isn’t a reincarnated Sovereign Spirit holder.”

“How would you know? Some Sovereign Spirits haven’t awoken yet.”

There were all kinds of opinions. People were discussing every kind of possibility.

“Long time, no see,” Jiang Chen came to himself. He smiled at Long Xing.

The two’s relation was special indeed, if putting what Lin Yu’eru had told him aside.

These two and others had formed an expedition team back in the day to explore a relic. It was extremely dangerous where they had gone. Long Xing and Jiang Chen were the only two who survived.

And they’d found the historical records about the Blood Race there.

Ever since then, the two had been contacting each other secretly.

Long Xing was not in a high position in the Sacred Zone back then. He treated Jiang Chen, the son of one of the Four Sages, with much respect. Just like now.

“Let’s have this conversation in some other place.”

Something occurred to Long Xing. He waved his sleeve and disappeared with Jiang Chen from people’s sight.

Then Jiang Chen found himself in an enclosed space. He wouldn’t be able to escape from such a place with his current strength.

“Young Master, as soon as I saw your information, I knew it must be you.”

“Unfortunately, I’d already started my seclusion. Otherwise the Heavenly Palace and the celestial palace wouldn’t have been hindered by anything at all.”

Long Xing seemed very happy. He kept talking and talking. But he noticed the puzzle in Jiang Chen’s eyes very soon.

“Young Master, is there anything wrong?”

“Long Xing, you are the savior of the world now. You don’t have to call me Young Master,” Jiang Chen said tentatively.

Long Xing was shocked.

Jiang Chen was secretly on guard. However, to his surprise, Long Xing suddenly knelt down in front of him.

“Young Master, I will in no way try to replace you. I thought about announcing the truth to the world when I started the Sovereign Spirit Palace in the first place.”

“But Yu’eru told me that there were still Blood Slaves in the Black Yellow Great World, and you would probably reincarnate and be targeted consequently.”

Kneeling on the ground, Long Xing spat while speaking. He was so afraid that Jiang Chen wouldn’t believe him.

“Did Yu’eru tell you this?”

Observing his face carefully, Jiang Chen couldn’t find any sign that suggested he was lying.

“Yes,” said Long Xing.

“But what she said to me was different.”

Jiang Chen thought for a while and decided to tell Long Xing what Yu’eru had told him.

“Young Master, it’s absolutely not true. You must believe me! Besides, you shouldn’t believe everything Yu’eru says.”

At the thought of something, Long Xing turned pale.

“Oh? Which one do you think I should believe? You or Yu’eru?” Jiang Chen provoked him deliberately, because only in this way would he be able to get some information.

“Young Master, there is something that you don’t know. Once Yu’eru and I were chased by Blood Slaves. We had to run into a forbidden land to hide. That’s where we found a divine relic.”

“Yu’eru and I got the inheritances of the divine relic, so we have two abilities, the ability to be ageless and the ability to be immortal.”

Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Long Xing talking about the abilities to be ageless and immortal. If that was the truth, besides the 500 years Long Xing and Lin Yu’eru had lived through, they still would be able to live for countless years.

“Ridiculous. Even Heavenly Gods only have the ability to be ageless, but don’t have the ability to be immortal,” Jiang Chen pointed it out immediately.

“It’s true. They are the inheritances from a divine relic. Yu’eru and I have shared the abilities to be ageless and immortal. I have the ability to be ageless, while Yu’eru has the ability to be immortal.”

Then Long Xing said emotionally, “Yu’eru has framed me. She wants to use Young Master to kill me, so that she will have the ability to be ageless as well.”

“How can I trust you?” said Jiang Chen in a cold voice.
