âSenior brother Long Chen, three days ago, one of senior brother Song Mingyuanâs people was working when he saw three law enforcers carrying a large object back to the monastery,â reported that disciple.
âCould he tell that it was Little Snow?â frantically asked Long Chen.
He shook his head. âThat disciple said it was covered in layers of clothing and he was unable to see what was inside. But based on the shape, it was similar to the body of Little Snow that you described.
âFurthermore, that disciple said those three law enforcers were somewhat out of sorts. There were even bloodstains on them. They should have just experienced a great fight.â
Long Chenâs heart pounded. Then that really was likely to be Little Snow. But he still didnât know just who had done it.
The monastery had over a hundred law enforcers covering a dozen areas. They werenât always in the same place. He would need to investigate this more.
âWhat happened to Little Snow?â asked Wilde.
âHe was captured by others.â Long Chen ground his teeth.
âWho dared bully Little Snow! Wilde will crush them with a single club!â Wilde was furious.
At this time, Ling Hao walked in. Ling Hao was the only male amongst the Heaven Earth Factionâs inner disciples, and his cultivation base was pretty good.
âSenior brother Long, a disciple requests to see you from outside. He says he had something important to report.â Ling Hao saluted.
âLet him in,â hastily said Long Chen.
At this time, a somewhat thin man walked in. When Long Chen saw that man he did feel he was a bit familiar, but he didnât recognize him.
âZhao Qian greets senior brother Long Chen.â He directly cupped his fists to him. âMany thanks for senior brother Long Chenâs life-saving help back then.â
Long Chen was confused for a moment, then he thought of it. âYou areâŠâ
âYes, itâs me. If it werenât for brother Long helping, Zhao Qian would already be buried with the fishes,â gratefully said Zhao Qian.
Long Chen finally remembered this person from back in the trial region. There had been a fierce river that had blocked their path.
Ye Zhiqiu had used her ice energy to cross over gracefully like a fairy.
One person had tried borrowing her leftover ice to cross as well, but that ice energy hadnât lasted for long before dropping him into the river, causing the Tigermouth Fishes to attack him.
Back then Long Chen had thrown out a stick to pull him back, saving his life.
âSenior brother Long Chen, a couple days ago I joined Qi Xinâs faction. I had to secretly come here,â said Zhao Qian.
When Long Chen had defeated Gu Yang, he had also beat Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin black and bruised. Later they were then almost beat to death by the crowd.
After recovering, Qi Xin returned to his faction and his temper exploded on his people. That flagbearer disciple was directly beaten unconscious by him.
Qi Xin had then cursed everyone, and quite a few people had been expelled from his faction. Zhao Qian had borrowed that opportunity to join his faction.
âSenior brother Long Chen, I, Zhao Qian, owe you my life. My coming here is tantamount to betraying them, so I also wonât return to Qi Xinâs faction.
âI came here to tell you that four nights ago, Qi Xin got completely drunk and said he would take revenge on, letting you taste pain.
âLater I then heard the next day he personally went to find some law enforcers. I donât know whether that has anything to do with your mount,â explained Zhao Qian.
Everyone in the monastery already knew that amongst the new disciples, Long Chen was the only one with a third rank mount.
Before the trial had even begun, Qi Xin had wanted to humiliate Long Chen, but had been defeated by Little Snow. And now Long Chen learned Qi Xin had raved about getting revenge and had gone to see the law enforcers.
The very next day, Little Snow had disappeared. Everything pointed to Qi Xin.
âSenior brother Long Chen, I only know so much. Junior will take his leave now.â Zhao Qian cupped his fists and prepared to leave.
âDonât go back. In the future, youâll be a member of our Heaven Earth Faction.â Long Chen patted Zhao Qianâs shoulder.
Zhao Qian was startled, looking at him with disbelief. âSenior brother Long Chen, didnât you say you hated traitors the most? IâŠâ
âFirst you must distinguish between right and wrong, remembering kindness and enmity. If you know you made a wrong choice, donât stupidly stay on that rotten path forever. You arenât a traitor. Ling Hao, set Zhao Qian up. Heâll be one of our brothers from now on.â Long Chen turned to Ling Hao.
Ling Hao nodded and also patted Zhao Qianâs shoulder, smiling, âBrother, letâs go. Iâll go get you a dwelling.â
Zhao Qian was incredibly moved, never imagining Long Chen would take him in. Warm tears appeared in his eyes. âIâŠâ
Ling Hao cut him off. âCome on, donât be like a womanâŠâ
But as soon as he said that his expression changed. He turned to see Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu staring at him expressionlessly.
Ling Hao knew he had misspoke. Sweat rolled down his face, but he also had no explanation. He hastily pulled Zhao Qian out.
âLong Chen, what should we do?â asked Tang Wan-er.
âWhat possible choices are there? If they want to scheme against me, thatâs fine, but if they dare scheme against my friends, I definitely wonât let them off.â Long Chenâs gaze was as sharp as sword.
âBut we have no proof.â Tang Wan-er knew they couldnât go to the upper levels of the monastery with just Zhao Qianâs little testimony and some coincidences.
âLooking for proof isnât my style. Letâs go visit that mountain.â Long Chenâs expression was icily sinister.
When Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu heard him say that, their scalps turned numb.
âHmph, who dares bully Little Snow! Brother Long, weâll definitely beat the crap out of them!â Wilde followed Long Chen outside.
Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu hastily chased after them. Tang Wan-er pulled on Long Chen, âShould we gather our people?â
She had an understanding of Long Chen after all this time. Now, Long Chenâs fury was practically steaming out of his head. Something major was very likely to happen.
âYou go and gather everyone. Wait for me in the Xuantian plaza. Iâm going to visit that mountain with Wilde,â nodded Long Chen.
He then brought Wilde down the mountain. Tang Wan-er and Qing Yu glanced at each other, both seeing the otherâs worry and helplessness.
Long Chen was one of those people who would rather die than surrender or compromise. And they had long since heard that the emotional connection between him and Little Snow was incomparably profound.
Little Snow had now been captured, and that unconcealable killing intent soaring off Long Chen was already proof enough to confirm Long Chen had reached his breaking point.
âSomething big is about to happen,â sighed Qing Yu. But they both knew they couldnât stop it. They split up to alert Song Mingyuan and them.
If they were going to make a ruckus, they might as well make it a bit bigger. With many people supporting him, the worst that could happen was that he would be exiled again. But having returned once, they were confident he could do it again.
When Song Mingyuan and them heard that it was actually Qi Xin pulling the strings, they were all infuriated. They wanted to charge over to help.
But Tang Wan-er stopped them. Long Chen had told them to gather at the Xuantian plaza, so he must have some kind of plan. They could only suppress their fury and go wait for him.
For five great factions to gather in the Xuantian plaza, all the other disciples were alarmed. They had no idea what was going on.
Why were the five factions releasing such a murderous intent? Those disciples that saw that scene all returned to report to their bosses.
Even an idiot could realize something big was going on. There was no one who wasnât curious. After sending a report, everyone prepared to watch what was about to unfold.
When Long Chen and Wilde reached Qi Xinâs faction, they were immediately blocked at the mountain path. But Long Chen seemed to not see those people in his way and just walked up normally.
âStop! Donât force us!â One of the disciples fiercely spoke out.
But all them were already terrified of Long Chen after that last Faction Competition. Unfortunately, as a member of this faction, they had no choice but to at least act their part.
Following that personâs shout, more and more disciples rushed over. Seeing Long Chen with that fiend-like Wilde, sweat poured down their backs.
Long Chenâs sinister expression was completely terrifying. Even in the last fight, his expression had been completely calm.
But now, that dense killing intent pouring out of him made them tremble. They felt as if a sharp blade was pressed right up against their throats. It was as if a single thought from Long Chen would be enough to kill them.
Long Chen didnât pay the slightest bit of attention to these disciples. He and Wilde continued forward, and those disciples immediately made a way for him.
Wilde icily glanced at them. The current Wilde was not the same as he had been back in the capital. He was filled with a wild nature as if he were a monstrous beast.
Then adding on his frightening stature, he really was an absolute freak. That massive spiked club also made it hard to breath.
Wilde followed behind Long Chen. The disciples in front of them continuously retreated nervously.
That continued all the way until they reached the immortal cave at the peak. All the factionsâ mountains were essentially the same structure. This was the residence of their core disciple.
âQi Xin, get the fuck out!â
Long Chenâs sudden cold shout shook the heavens, rumbling through the mountains. Countless echos reflected off those stone walls.
âGet the fuck outâŠâ
Wave after wave of echoes rang throughout the mountains, like replies to his furious killing intent.
Suddenly, three people charged out of the immortal cave. Gu Yang, Lei Qianshang, and Qi Xin were all unexpectedly present.
Qi Xinâs expression changed when he saw Long Chen. He quickly suppressed a frantic expression.
âLong Chen, you really are too brazen! How dare you come to my territory and behave so rudely!â
But Long Chen could hear the trembling in his voice. That proved he was nervous. But within that nervousness, there was also a trace of excitement. All that proved that everything had been Qi Xinâs contemptible scheme.
âFucking die!â Long Chen couldnât hold back anymore and roared. His bone blade appeared in his hand and he charged at Qi Xin.
Gu Yang roared and the runes on his lit up, his battle power soaring to his peak instantly.
âLong Chen, this time Iâll force you back!â Gu Yang sent a punch straight at Long Chen.
However, he had forgotten one thing. With his focus completely on Long Chen, he had completely ignored Wilde.
âHow dare you attack my brother Long? Go to hell!â
Space trembled, almost seeming as if it would explode, as a huge spiked club swung at Gu Yang.
