Chapter 5316 Tang Wan-er’s Current Situation
Through Qing Xi’s explanation, Long Chen learned just how terrifying Tang Wan-er’s power had become. During the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s selection process, she overcame all the obstacles and claimed the crown among countless experts from the outside world.
Then, under the status of a foreign disciple, Tang Wan-er challenged the divine daughter Qian Renxue. After defeating her and taking her place, Tang Wan-er became the new divine daughter and obtained the divine daughter’s throne.
“The divine daughter’s throne?” Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s divine throne.
“Senior apprentice-sister Wan-er is truly powerful,” Qing Xi continued with admiration in her voice. “With the support of the divine daughter’s throne, Qian Renxue had the power of an eight-vein Human Emperor, but she was still defeated by senior apprentice-sister Wan-er.”
Long Chen nearly cried out in shock. Comparable to an eight-vein Human Emperor? He could barely deal with a seven-vein Emperor, yet Tang Wan-er had defeated someone even stronger.
“That’s incredible. What about Wan-er’s master, Feng Xinyue? Is she doing well?” Long Chen asked.
“She has become one of the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s four great Divine Wind Elders. The Divine Wind Elders’ rank is just below the assistant sect masters,” Qing Xi explained.
Long Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Then what is her realm?”
In a place like the Wind God Sea Pavilion, where a two-vein Emperor was little more than an attendant, for Feng Xinyue to become a Divine Wind Elder, her cultivation base had to be unimaginable.
“I don’t know. Ever since Elder Feng Xinyue joined the Wind God Sea Pavilion, she has never revealed her true cultivation base,” Qing Xi replied, shaking her head.
Never shown her cultivation base but still became one of the four Divine Wind Elders? Then she must be frighteningly powerful! thought Long Chen.
Hearing that Tang Wan-er had reached a high position in her sect made Long Chen feel a sense of relief. His heart, which had been weighed down by worry, felt lighter.
“Then doesn’t that mean Wan-er has many admirers?” Long Chen asked suddenly, thinking of the countless geniuses who might try to court her. It was a very serious problem.
Looking at Long Chen, Qing Xi couldn’t hold back a giggle. “Of course! Senior apprentice-sister Wan-er is one of the divine daughters, after all. She’s incredibly powerful and talented; even her beauty is unmatched. Naturally, she has plenty of admirers. But from the start, she already made it clear that her heart belonged to someone named Long Chen. She describes him as someone handsome and distinguished—a peerless genius whose brilliance overshadows all others. In front of him, other geniuses are like fireflies competing with the light of the moon.”
“She really said all that?” Long Chen was pleasantly surprised.
“Of course. Why do you think I was so surprised when I heard your name? Moreover, she didn’t say those things just once. She’s told all those heavenly geniuses vying for her attention that she is a flower with an owner named Long Chen, so they should just give up,” said Qing Xi with a smile.
But then, her expression turned serious as she asked, “Hmm, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, why is your cultivation base still in the Sage King realm?”
In her eyes, Long Chen’s cultivation should at least match Tang Wan-er’s, considering the way Tang Wan-er had praised him.
“Me? Uh, due to certain... events, my cultivation progress has been delayed,” replied Long Chen. He could only thicken his face and say that.
Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Long Chen quickly changed the subject. “By the way, is this place the Heaven Essence World?”
Qing Xi looked puzzled. “Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, weren’t you transported here with your sect? Why are you asking?”
“No, I came from the Darklight Heaven,” replied Long Chen.
Qing Xi’s jaw dropped. “Are you saying you passed through the endless devil sea?”
The endless devil sea referred to the horde of devil creatures surrounding the Endless Desolation. According to what Qing Xi knew, it was impossible to pass through this sea of devil creatures.
If it hadn’t been Long Chen who said it, she would never have believed it. He was about to explain further when his attention shifted. He then looked off into the distance and smiled.
Long Chen said, “Hehe, they really are efficient!”
“They’re here?” Qing Xi was startled. It had only been a short while since they had escaped.
Qing Xi had mostly recovered from her injuries, but she knew Cheng Ye wouldn’t return alone. He would bring powerful reinforcements, possibly even Human Emperors.
“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, we should run! They have numbers, and with your cultivation base, fighting them would put you at a huge disadvantage,” Qing Xi urged.
“There’s no need to run,” Long Chen said calmly. “They bullied Wan-er’s junior apprentice-sister, so they’ll have to pay the price today. Otherwise, Wan-er will be upset with me.”
As he spoke, the space around them quivered, and multiple powerful auras appeared, surrounding them.
“How brazen. You actually didn’t run. Were you waiting for us to kill you?” a voice filled with resentment rang out.
It was Cheng Ye. Beside him stood a middle-aged man with a short beard and lightning runes swirling in his eyes—a three-vein Human Emperor.
“Nah, I’m waiting for you to send yourselves to your death,” Long Chen countered as he slowly stood up.
On the other hand, Qing Xi immediately summoned her manifestation and prepared for battle. Sensing her aura, Cheng Ye was stunned that she had almost recovered. After all, he knew how serious her injury had been.
Qing Xi grew nervous. Along with the group that had originally hunted her down, there were now over ten Human Emperors. The three-vein Emperor next to Cheng Ye was particularly intimidating.
“Who are you?” the three-vein Emperor asked Long Chen, his gaze sharp.
He felt a strange sense of danger from Long Chen, so he was unusually cautious.
“You don’t need to know who I am,” Long Chen replied indifferently. “What matters is that you’ve surrounded and attacked a disciple of the Wind God Sea Pavilion. You’ve already provoked a catastrophe. Now, the only way out for you is to kill us and cover this up. Am I wrong?”
After knowing the power of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, Long Chen understood why Cheng Ye was dead set on killing them. This idiot had provoked a calamity and could only do this to survive.
Given that they even brought a three-vein Emperor over, their goal was all too obvious.
With a twisted face, Cheng Ye snarled, “Elder Lu, don’t waste time with him! They have to die!”
After he was done speaking, Long Chen raised his hand and pulled, causing the void to twist and Cheng Ye to involuntarily fly toward him.
Enraged by Long Chen’s sudden actions, Elder Lu grabbed Cheng Ye, and the space between them twisted intensely.
“AH!” Cheng Ye screamed in agony as his body was torn apart by two opposing force.
