Mu Qingyun and the others were stunned, staring at the beautiful little girl in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes—this seven-colored crane could actually take human form.
According to the laws of the Immortal Realm, beasts must merge with heaven and earth and gain the approval of myriad Daos before they can take human form. Beasts that can take human form are terrifying beings beyond their imagination.
As for the little girl before them, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed she was actually the transformed seven-colored crane from earlier.
The reason Long Chen came out was because he sensed a soul fluctuation, as if the seven-colored crane was greeting him.
Looking at the little girl before him, dressed in colorful gauze and looking as delicate as a porcelain doll, Long Chen couldn't help but laugh. He squatted down to match her height.
"Little sister, how do you know I'm a good person? Actually, my brother really isn't a good person. Did you mistake him for someone else? Long Chen said with a smile.
Long Chen was a good person. Regardless of whether others believed him, Long Chen himself didn't believe it. However, seeing such a cute little girl call him a good person, even if he didn't care how others saw him, hearing it made him feel happy.
"Our Caihe clan never misjudges someone. Brother, you're a good person. Come play with me, okay? I've just slept for three thousand years and now want to roam around, but my parents won't let me leave this area." The little girl held Long Chen's hand, not shy at all, and pleaded.
Long Chen was startled: "Three thousand years?" How old are you? "
According to your human calendar, I have been born for eighty thousand years, and your academy's dean has changed three generations.
But most of the time I was sleeping and had no contact with anyone. Besides, besides you, everyone else had a scent that made me uncomfortable. I couldn't play with them. From now on, please take me out to play, okay? The little girl's big eyes looked at Long Chen, her long lashes fluttering, and her little face full of anticipation. No one could bear to refuse such an innocent child.
Eighty thousand years? Has the Three Realms Dean already endured and left? Still a brother? Long Chen felt a headache coming on. Shouldn't I be calling you 'auntie'?
But seeing her look so eager, Long Chen could only say, "No problem. When you have time, I'll take you out to play."
But today your brother has something important, so he won't play with you today. I'll give you a small gift. As
Long Chen spoke, he handed the little girl a spirit pill. It was a Yuan Spirit Pill refined by Long Chen, a pill that can replenish both soul and immortal spirit power.
On the pill, a star was swirling, surrounded by mist, making it look very beautiful.
The young girl looked at the pill, clearly having never seen anything like it before. She immediately loved it and was overjoyed, thanking Long Chen repeatedly.
"Brother, I won't bother you anymore. I'll come find you later."
After speaking, the young girl transformed into a seven-colored crane, circled around Long Chen, then sped away with the cranes, disappearing into the midst of the world with colorful light and shadow.
When the seven-colored crane left, Mu Qingyun and the others still felt as if they were in a dream. Not only did they see the crane, but they also saw the little girl transformed into the crane.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a flying boat sped through the void, charging straight at Mu Qingyun's vessel. Mu Qingyun and the others cried out in alarm.
Just as the flying boat was about to collide with Mu Qingyun's, the void suddenly trembled and it stopped just a few feet from Mu Qingyun's boat, causing Mu Qingyun and the others to break out in a cold sweat.
If they were struck by the flying vessel, no matter how powerful the people inside, they would likely be wiped out.
"You have some nerve, daring to disobey orders." Four people stepped down from that flying boat, all of whom were Four Extreme experts.
What shocked Mu Qingyun and the others was that the Four Extremes Realm experts were all dressed in disciple robes. They were not elders, and each of them was very young.
"Who are you?" and reported their names. The man who got off the flying boat said angrily.
Previously, he was responsible for monitoring and protecting those Seven-Colored Immortal Cranes. Long Chen ignored him and came out rashly, driving him crazy.
Although the little girl later appeared and left safely, he was still furious and rushed over, determined to settle the score with Long Chen.
"Talk is what you say, but don't point fingers at others." Long Chen frowned. The guy was furious, pointing at Long Chen and demanding him sign up. His attitude made Long Chen a bit annoyed.
"Let me introduce you. This is ...," Li Cai, afraid of conflict, hurried out and said.
"Shut up! Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?" Li Cai had just started speaking when he was immediately scolded.
"Outer disciple attire?" Could they be here to sign up? Only then did one of them notice the clothing of Li Cai and the others.
Previously, their main attention was on Long Chen. Seeing him dressed in a worn-out black robe, which looked mismatched, now seeing Li Cai and the others, they seemed to understand.
"A bunch of rookies haven't even started learning and already dare to act arrogant? Do you know that in the inner sect, the death rate among disciples is hundreds or thousands of times higher than in the outer sect? If you act so arrogantly without ability, you won't even know how you'll die in the future. One person sneered.
Mu Qingyun and the others' expressions changed instantly. They had been dreaming about developing their careers in the inner sect, but now, before registering, they were blocked by a group of informants. It was like pouring cold water over a pipe of cold water. Their good mood was instantly ruined, and anger quietly surged.
"Are you mute?" Talk. The leading Four Extremes Realm expert, seeing Long Chen remain silent, became furious and grabbed Long Chen by the collar.
Li Cai and the others cried out in surprise. They immediately understood that things were going badly. Long Chen hadn't expected this person to dare to make a move, and since he was so close, by the time he reacted, the man's large hand had already touched the hem of his clothes.
If he had stepped back immediately, there was a ninety percent chance he could have dodged, but he didn't dare move, fearing that if he was even a step slower and the shirt was grabbed, it would be ruined and impossible to sew.
Seeing Long Chen grabbed by the collar, Mu Qingyun's expression changed instantly. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"What's your name?" Long Chen looked at the man and said coldly.
"Kid, you've got guts. I'm Zhang Peng. What's wrong? Want revenge? I've seen plenty of you rookies who just start out and don't know your place. The man looked at Long Chen and sneered.
"From today on, Zhang Peng, you can be called Zhang Peng!" Suddenly, Long Chen slammed his knee forward like lightning, slamming hard into Zhang Peng's lower abdomen. With a loud bang, people heard the sound of flesh shattering.
Li Cai and the others shivered. Any man knew how ruthless Long Chen's move was, and they couldn't help but feel a chill run through their bodies.
Zhang Peng's body stiffened, his eyes nearly popping out. Then he slowly released Long Chen's hand and collapsed weakly, curled up like a shrimp, the intense pain making it impossible for him to utter a sound.
The other three were shocked and about to act, but dozens of weapons were drawn in an instant, pointing at their vital points. Caught off guard, the three were instantly unable to move.
"You... What do you want to do? The
three Four Extremes Realm experts were both shocked and furious. He never expected these rookies who hadn't even entered the inner sect to dare to resist them. By the time they reacted, blades were at their bodies, their lives already in someone else's hands, and they dared not move.
"Li Cai"
"Zai"
"Slap them hard, let us advance into the inner gate, make some noise." Long Chen smoothed out the wrinkles on his chest, his face dark as he spoke.
