Chapter 6859 Guard Captain Zhang Qinming
The Flying Cloud Guards exchanged hesitant glances, but none dared to step forward.
“Since none of you wish to speak, you can stay silent for eternity. Yan Li, kill them!” ordered Long Chen.
“Wait! I-I will talk!” One of the Flying Cloud Guards was terrified out of his mute state.
“Who ordered you to find me?” asked Long Chen.
“It was the divine capital’s orders...”
“Last chance. Say that crap again, and you’ll die. Think it through before you speak again,” said Long Chen.
“W-we came here under Guard Captain Qin Ming’s orders!”
“In other words, the divine capital didn’t issue any commands, and you were acting on your own?” asked Long Chen.
“Uh, our captain said that you were very suspicious. He mentioned... we should capture you first before taking any further action.”
That response left everyone stunned. Did the guard captain not go through the divine capital’s protocols before mobilizing his Flying Cloud Guards? That was a series offense.
Long Chen snorted. “It looks like it was either an abuse of authority for personal reasons or just greed for recognition. You can go back and tell Qin Ming to wash his neck and wait. Once I’m done here, I’ll find him in the divine capital. You can fuck off now!”
Telling them to fuck off was like music to their ears. The Flying Cloud Guards forgot their pride and ran off as fast as they could.
Yan Li had killed Wei San and two other Flying Cloud Guards consecutively. He had shocked everyone.
People couldn’t stop talking about him. He had the Sun Divine Tree and the Golden Crow, and he was bold enough to kill Flying Cloud Guards. Who was this man?
When they found out he was the junior gate master of the Blazing Soul Gate, which had nearly been destroyed, everyone was surprised. Many glanced over at Huang Yizhou from the Soul Refining Sect.
Huang Yizhou was surprised but secretly delighted. This idiot had killed the Flying Cloud Guards. Now, Huang Yizhou could just sit and wait for Yan Li’s death.
Now, everyone already knew the black-robed man was Long Chen. No one knew where he came from, but the Flying Cloud Guards had been chasing him.
All the heavenly geniuses present were cautious of Long Chen. After all, anyone who dared to oppose the divine capital mostly had a strong background, or was simply an idiot.
The elderly experts departed the area to report to their sects. They had to use their information network to find out who Long Chen was. What exactly was that evil statue they mentioned?
Some of the youngsters left, but a portion stayed.
“Little sister Xin Yu, is this your friend? Aren’t you going to introduce us?” A bewitching voice rang out, and a slender woman approached Long Chen and the others elegantly.
“It’s Divine Daughter Liu Piaopiao!”
This bewitching woman was famous. She quickly sensed that Long Chen was special and wanted to get to know him.
After all, the divine sons and daughters weren’t fools. Many of them were skilled at scheming.
“If you’re not afraid of getting dragged into his trouble and being targeted by the Flying Cloud Guards, go ahead and come over,” Xin Yu replied coolly.
Xin Yu seemed to look down on Liu Piaopiao. Her words made Liu Piaopiao uncomfortable.
Xin Yu’s response worked. Many people quickly dropped the idea of befriending Long Chen. She was right. Getting involved with him could bring more trouble than benefit. It wasn’t worth it.
“Divine Daughter Xin Yu, are you trying to scare me? Brother Long is so impressive that he doesn’t even care about the Flying Cloud Guards. He must be strong enough not to fear them. Besides, the guard said they were just following their captain’s orders, not the divine capital’s. So there’s still a chance to work things out. Are you jealous of others getting close to him? Could it be... you two are...?” Liu Piaopiao said.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, but her tone was more hostile than playful.
Clearly provoked, Xin Yu grabbed Long Chen’s elbow and said, “This man is a major figure! I’ve already got one of his legs, and big sister Yutong has the other. There’s no third leg left for you.”
Long Chen’s expression instantly darkened. He wondered if there was something wrong with Xin Yu’s brain.
The other male cultivators nearly burst out laughing at her mention of Long Chen’s third leg. Xin Yu didn’t realize what she had said.
“Hmph, he’s just a newcomer to the divine prefecture. That’s why he dared to cross the Flying Cloud Guards. In my opinion, you’re all finished. The Blazing Soul Gate will be wiped out too, hahaha!” someone laughed arrogantly.
It was Huang Yizhou. He was annoyed that Long Chen was the center of attention, so he couldn’t help but insult him.
By now, all the allies Huang Yizhou had gathered had left him. Even Zhang Gonggong kept his distance from him. While this fellow was garbage, his ability to switch sides as the winds changed was top-notch.
The moment Huang Yizhou cheated by passing Wei San his power, Zhang Gonggong already had a bad feeling. Even if he won, people would curse Huang Yizhou, and Zhang Gonggong would be dragged into it.
But even with the cheating, Wei San was still dead. Now, Huang Yizhou wouldn’t just be cursed—Yan Li would seek his revenge soon.
What shocked Zhang Gonggong most was that Long Chen had directed Yan Li to kill two Flying Cloud Guards, as if he were just killing ants. Zhang Gonggong realized that he had just kicked an iron board.
As a result, Zhang Gonggong decided to take a step back before he truly became mortal enemies with Long Chen. He could always wait and see how the situation unfolded first.
Huang Yizhou mocked Long Chen, but no one agreed with him. People just looked at him as if he were a fool. Under their stares, Huang Yizhou slowly stopped laughing.
“So your name is Long Chen? Hmph, I’ll wait to see how you’re executed! This gathering of champions is nothing but a group of suck-ups! I won’t lower myself to participate. Goodbye!” Huang Yizhou said.
Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Huang Yizhou flung his sleeve and left.
The Soul Refining Sect’s disciples hastily followed when they saw their divine son leaving. They soon disappeared.
Once Huang Yizhou left, someone shook his head.
“He’s no different from a mad dog,” he remarked.
Huang Yizhou’s actions were incredibly foolish. He had just insulted everyone before leaving.
At this moment, Long Chen turned to look at Chi Yutong.
“Yutong, I’m going to go into seclusion with Yan Li,” said Long Chen.
His meaning was clear: the two ladies could entertain themselves while he continued drilling Yan Li.
“No way, I want to come too!” Xin Yu shouted, immediately raising her hand.
“Alright.” Long Chen nodded.
“Wait, really?”
Xin Yu was just joking and didn’t expect Long Chen to actually agree. But in any case, she was pleased.
“You can be his training partner. He’ll progress a bit faster like that,” Long Chen said.
If he didn’t prank this mischievous girl, he’d feel bad for her.
Ignoring Liu Piaopiao and the other divine sons and daughters, the four of them left.
