Long Chen and the others flew out of the Four Nations Ancient Remnant, and they saw an army of hundreds of thousands at the exit.
âImperial father, master!â
Xia Yunchong hadnât expected that his master and his father, Xia Yuyang, would be waiting for them. What moved him was that Xia Yuyangâs emotionless and stern face now had a relieved smile on it. The light in his eyes was also not so sharp as it usually was. Instead, his eyes were full of emotion and even slightly red.
âYouâre all back alive⊠good!â Xia Yuyang was emotional to see Xia Yunchong, Xia Yunfeng, and Xia Youluo return alive.
According to his original estimates, there was less than a one in a thousand chance of them surviving. After all, since their enemies had dared to attack, they had to have been one hundred percent confident. Otherwise, they wouldnât have been so brazen as to target their dragon vein.
Seeing them alive, even someone like Xia Yuyang couldnât keep control of his emotions.
âSorry father. Yunlin, Yunhua, theyâŠâ Xia Yunchong was aggrieved. Those two were his brothers, but they had died in the battle.
âBattle is not a game. Thereâs no way that no one will die. My Grand Xiaâs men are all heroes who will bleed for the Grand Xia and even sacrifice their lives. Their actions were honorable, so donât feel grief.â Xia Yuyang patted Xia Yunchongâs shoulder.
Although he was comforting them, the sadness in his eyes couldnât be mistaken.
âMaster, disciple had disappointed youâŠâ Xia Yunchong suddenly knelt in front of the white-haired elder, too ashamed to look at him.
The white-haired elder looked at Xia Yunchong with remorse. He shook his head and helped him up. He could see that Xia Yunchongâs undefeatable aura had vanished.
He couldnât help but sigh inside. Cultivating the Undefeatable Dao was incredibly difficult. Not being defeated in a whole lifetime was almost impossible. Right now, the one who felt the worst about this had to be Xia Yunchong. He was powerless.
âImperial father, you wereâŠ?â Xia Yunchong looked at this huge army that was burning with killing intent. They were the elites of the Grand Xia, and the majority of them were Kings.
âIf you hadnât come out alive, I would have personally mobilized the Grand Xiaâs army and annihilated the Grand Hanâs capital as revenge for you.â Xia Yuyangâs voice was full of killing intent. He had seen a few clues and knew this was done by the Grand Han.
âItâs not so simple. We have to quickly return to the imperial palace. I need to give you a full report,â said Xia Yunchong hastily.
Seeing how serious Xia Yunchong was, and knowing his character, Xia Yuyang didnât say another word. He directly activated a transportation formation, and they all arrived in the capital.
âWhat?! The Bloodkill Hall, ancient races, and Pill Tower all participated?!â
Xia Yuyang was in a room at the palace with Long Chen, Xia Yunchong, Xia Yunfeng, and the white-haired elder. When Xia Yuyang heard the whole story, he was shocked and infuriated.
The white-haired elderâs expression was also cold. The four ancient nations were situated outside the cultivation world and didnât participate in the cultivation worldâs struggles. These powers had truly gone too far.
But whether it was the ancient races or the Bloodkill Hall, the Grand Xia wasnât able to provoke them. And there was no need to even mention the Pill Tower that was supported by Pill Valley.
However, for these three great powers to publicly violate the four nationsâ treaty and support the Grand Han in annihilating the other three nationsâ people was going too far.
âLong Chen, tidy up your affairs. Iâll send you away!â said the white-haired elder suddenly.
Xia Yunchong nodded along. âLong Chen, let my master send you away. My Grand Xia wonât be able to protect you this time. Leaving now is your best option.â
Long Chen shook his head, relaxed. âThereâs no need for you to worry about me. In truth, I was the one who implicated the Grand Xia this time-â
âDonât spout nonsense. The Grand Han had clearly been plotting this for a long time. If it hadnât been for youâŠâ Xia Yunchong was infuriated to hear Long Chen try to take responsibility for this.
Long Chen waved his hand. âDonât get so emotional. Let me finish. I donât care how long the Grand Han was plotting this secretly. My arrival definitely caused them to carry out their plans in advance, so I was still a factor in this. For so many of the Grand Xiaâs brave warriors to lose their lives, I feel guilty, and there is an inescapable responsibility that rests on me.â
âChild, if it hadnât been for you, this generation of my Grand Xiaâs experts would have been annihilated. Donât even mention the word guilt,â said Xia Yuyang.
He was speaking from the heart. Originally, he had already made his preparations for a battle to the death. But because of Long Chen, the Grand Xiaâs flame of life was not yet blown out.
Xia Yunchong had even absorbed the dragon vein energy of the Grand Han, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou from Han Wenjun. Now that he had returned, his dragon vein energy reconnected to the Grand Xiaâs dragon vein, strengthening the Grand Xiaâs karmic luck.
In the end, the Grand Xia had benefited because of Long Chen. In the future, the leader of the four nations would definitely be the Grand Xia.
As for the other three nations, they had no excuse to reclaim their dragon vein energy. The only other possibility was that the Grand Xia, Grand Chu, and Grand Zhou would devour the Grand Han, and the four ancient nations would become the three ancient nations.
However, the four nations wouldnât do such a thing. This was also part of the four nationsâ treaty. Because the four ancient nations were the only peaceful lands within the Central Plains, if the four nations chose to go to war, the Central Plains would no longer have any pure lands. The Central Plainsâ powers would definitely interfere.
So even though such a huge scale war was essentially impossible, the Grand Han had done such an outrageous thing, and the three ancient nations had countless other ways to target them. Their decline was set in stone.
As for the Grand Xia, so much karmic luck had gathered there. They would flourish in the future. Long Chenâs contributions to the Grand Xia were immense, so Xia Yuyang told him to never say he felt guilty about this.
âSince uncle Xia wishes for me to not say it, I wonât. In any case, Iâll just say that this matter has irritated me extremely. In the Four Nations Ancient Remnant, I didnât even have time to search for treasures. I was simply hunted like a dog. If I didnât have such a hardy life, Iâd have long since died. I, Long Chen, am not the kind of person to accept such a thing lying down. I have to give them their corresponding reprisal,â said Long Chen.
Hearing this, even Xia Yuyang and the white-haired elder were shocked. They looked at him in disbelief, feeling like they had misheard.
Within the Four Nations Ancient Remnant, Long Chen had killed seven rank eight Celestials. Li Wanji and Han Bijun had even been killed in one blow by him.
The Bloodkill Hallâs twin assassins, the eagle, tiger, and elephant racesâ experts, not one of them had managed to escape. They had heard that Long Chen had even used a pot to snatch away their Ancestral item.
After killing that many of their experts, after snatching away their Ancestral item, he was the one who felt like he had lost out? Wasnât he a bit too crazy?
Even people like Xia Yuyang and the white-haired elder who had seen the world had never seen someone as domineering as that.
âLong Chen, when the ancient races, Bloodkill Hall, and Pill Tower join hands, this region is basically dominated by them. Thatâs especially true of the Pill Tower. They have numerous henchmen that will respond en masse to their call. The Grand Xia will soon be surrounded, and even if your Xuantian Dao Sectâs master came, he wouldnât necessarily be able to save you,â said Xia Yuyang.
âThe Pill Tower can be basically eliminated from any calculations. That old idiot Dan Teng, I can play him to death with his pitiful brains. As for the Bloodkill Hall, they only assassinate targets in the same realm. Within the same realm, those twin assassins said that they are this regionâs strongest assassins. For now, there wonât be any stronger assassins sent, as itâs impossible for them to send Jade Core assassins after me. Then they would really lose all face. As for Foundation Forging assassins, I can send them all to reincarnate and see their Killing God.
âSo, the only power that can threaten me is the ancient races. The ancient race alliance is truly powerful. But I am just a Foundation Forging disciple, and they couldnât possibly use their full force to attack me. If those three races asked for support from the entire alliance, theyâd also lose face. And so at most, the opponents should be limited to the experts from those three races. Although each one of them has the power of a sect, Iâm not afraid of them. Thatâs why I donât need to leave. The Grand Xia also doesnât need to care about them, nor is there any need to mobilize your army. Just leave it to me,â said Long Chen calmly.
Seeing that Long Chen could remain so calm in the face of the three powersâ threat, Xia Yuyang and the white-haired elder were shocked. His analysis of the problem was spot on.
For him to be able to see a problem so clearly while under such a threat, it seemed like his sudden rise was no coincidence. But despite how confident he seemed, the two were still worried.
âLong Chen, think carefully. You are dancing on the tip of a blade like this,â warned Xia Yuyang.
If Long Chen left now, then with the white-haired elderâs power, it was extremely likely that he could be sent away without anyone else being the wiser. But the more time that passed, the more dismal those odds became.
It could be imagined that the Pill Tower and those three races would immediately send people to lock down the Grand Xia, making sure to cast an inescapable net.
âI know. Donât worry.â Long Chen smiled.
In truth, Long Chen had his own calculations in his mind, and those calculations told him that leaving now was already too late. He was sure that after he had killed Dan Chu and snatched the Blazing Dragon Cauldron, the Pill Tower had already started sealing the Grand Xiaâs border. Not even a mosquito could fly out of those transportation formations.
Whether it was Dan Chu, the Blazing Dragon Cauldron, or his own secrets, the Pill Tower had to take them back.
The thing that gave Long Chen the biggest headache was that bastard Xuan Jizi. It seemed that the old fellow truly had skill. If he could predict which way he would leave, then no matter how powerful the white-haired elder was, he wouldnât be able to protect him.
So it was impossible for him to leave. But he didnât get that angry about this. He felt that as soon as he had started cultivating the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, there had never been a pause in being hunted. He had long since grown accustomed.
The one thing he refused to allow was for him to implicate others as he was hunted down, especially not people like Xia Yunchong and Xia Youluo who he treated as his own family.
Long Chen had to give them an explanation, or heâd feel bad inside. Seeing how Long Chen had already made his decision, Xia Yuyang didnât try to force him to leave.
Xia Yunchong was called over by his master. From his tone, it seemed that they were going to get closer to Han Wenjun to see if Xia Yunchong could rediscover his Undefeatable Dao. This was why Xia Yunfeng had stopped Xia Yunchong from killing Han Wenjun in the ancient remnant.
Xia Yunfeng had been calm. Xia Yunchongâs Undefeatable Dao had been broken because he had knelt to Han Wenjun. He who caused the trouble should fix it. That was why he had kept Han Wenjun alive.
Long Chen also took his leave and went to the Wine God Palace. But he had only just walked out of the palace when he suddenly smiled coldly. Turning, he slapped a person across the face.
