Chapter 5070 Glacial Heaven City
Long Chen frowned. Did they plan to challenge the white dragon race? If so, Long Chen was ready to fight. He wouldn’t tolerate it if they went too far.
Unexpectedly, they all ignored him and were looking at Bai Yingxue instead.
“Princess Yingxue, I’ve long since looked up to you. I am…”
One of those Heavenly Chosens surrounding them was trying to give a quick introduction, but Bai Yingxue suddenly wrapped her arms around Long Chen’s elbow, shaking her head. She interjected, “Sorry, but I already have a partner.”
Long Chen was baffled. Were all these people Bai Yingxue’s pursuers? Was he her shield now?
“Quick, get me out of here. These people are very annoying,” transmitted Bai Yingxue.
Long Chen didn’t know what was going on, but since Bai Yingxue asked him for aid, he naturally didn’t refuse. He walked away with her just like that.
Seeing Bai Yingxue holding Long Chen’s arm so intimately, that Heavenly Chosen was enraged. “Who are you?! What right do you have to be the princess’s partner?! I challenge you!”
“Scram.”
Long Chen didn’t even look at him and casually swung his hand, sending the Heavenly Chosen flying with a clear handprint on his face. He tumbled into another Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
Blood sprayed from the Heavenly Chosen’s mouth, and he passed out. After that, he slid off the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and dropped to the ground.
The other experts were stunned by the sudden slap. Many didn’t even grasp what had happened before that person was sent flying.
Taking advantage of their shock from this slap, Long Chen and Bai Yingxue moved forward. The ones in their way were frightened by Long Chen and instinctively opened a path for him, watching as the two of them vanished.
Once they were free, Bai Yingxue let go of Long Chen’s arm and awkwardly explained, “The white dragon race possesses sacred energy that is essential to cultivate the dragon race’s highest-level divine abilities. I am sure those traitors approached me for my sacred energy. They once had decent relationships with us, and there was a history of marriages between our races. However, once they joined Pill Valley’s side, we cut off ties with them. Now that we are here, they believe we’re joining Pill Valley as well, and so…”
Long Chen instantly understood. They thought that the white dragon race had made the same choice as them. That was why they wanted to take advantage of this situation to get closer to the white dragon race; their goal was to obtain sacred energy through marriage.
“Although our white dragon race does not forbid marrying outside our kind, how can our women marry a bunch of spineless cowards?” grumbled Bai Yingxue, shaking her head.
Long Chen nodded to express his understanding. After all, in the cultivation world, most marriages were driven by the goal of producing powerful descendants.
At first, Long Chen had found Long Tianrui’s conduct incomprehensible and distasteful. However, it seemed that these ancient races had long embraced this concept; to them, love might simply not exist.
Long Chen and Bai Yingxue continued onward, encountering more experts of the dragon race. When they passed by, quite a few people pointed at them and whispered amongst themselves.
Along the way, another Heavenly Chosen approached. Upon realizing who they were, he whistled and said, “Hey—”
Without hesitation, Long Chen kicked him in the crotch. A bone-crunching sound echoed as the man was sent flying, letting out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered.
“Your dragon race really needs to be reconsolidated. If all the idiots like him were removed, the dragon race could return to its golden era,” said Long Chen, forcibly holding back his urge to kill that fool. Long Chen had wanted to slap him to death; the man’s arrogant demeanor practically begged for it. But instead, Long Chen settled for a kick. He realized he needed to curb his habit of casually slapping people, or he might attract unwanted attention.
“Hold it!”
The injured man’s companions rushed toward Long Chen, but he turned and glared at them, his killing intent blazing in his eyes. Terrified out of their wits, these experts stamped their feet on the ground to stop their momentum, not even daring to move. They sensed the aura of death coming from him.
After scaring them, Long Chen snorted and continued to walk with Bai Yingxue. Fortunately, they were smart enough not to chase. Otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.
For some reason, Long Chen had the instinctive urge to crush them in his hand. He had never experienced this kind of feeling before.
Is it because of the Sovereign blood?
Long Chen suddenly thought of this possibility. Was the Sovereign blood affecting his feelings? The blood of the Sovereign race might be reacting to the decline of the dragon race, stirring feelings of anger within Long Chen. After all, he wouldn’t have felt such rage if those people hadn’t provoked him.
Once they left the dragon race’s region, they saw a grand ancient city appear before them. Although Long Chen had mentally prepared himself, the sight still left him in awe. This city was larger than Devil Fall City, and even from a distance, its imposing structure was impressive.
“This must be an incredibly ancient city, one that wasn’t built in our era,” Long Chen sighed emotionally.
“Why do you say that? I feel like it’s very new. It doesn’t show the slightest sign of age,” remarked Bai Yingxue.
“You’re looking at the city walls. That’s just for defense,” explained Long Chen.
“Isn’t that very normal?” Bai Yingxue replied, confused.
“Building strong city walls is the most costly part of constructing a city. Given the Brahma Pill Valley’s power, would they really invest so much just for defense?” Long Chen pointed out.
Only then did Bai Yingxue grasp his point. The Brahma Pill Valley was almost unrivaled within the Sovereign Emperor Heaven, and no one dared to attack them. She realized she had never heard of anyone attacking the Eight Brahma Domains.
As they continued, Long Chen noted the various areas surrounding Glacial Heaven City, indicating that Pill Valley had invited many factions. The dragon race was merely a small part of a much larger gathering.
Has Mo Nian managed to get in yet? Why hasn’t he sent me any news? Long Chen was a bit worried about whether or not this fellow could get in.
“Well, let’s go take a look inside the city!” Long Chen declared, shaking off his concerns. He led Bai Yingxue to a transportation formation, and in an instant, they vanished.
