Long Chen used the body of that Blood Slaughter Hall expert as a guide, trying to locate his true self, but he never succeeded.
He could sense that the true form of the Blood Slaughter Hall expert was spying on this place from somewhere. Whether it was because of the distance or some secret technique, Long Chen couldn't sense his exact location.
Just as Long Chen gradually used the blood soul power of the Blood Slaughter Hall expert to swim upstream and confirm his true position, he chose to self-destruct. Clearly, Long Chen's intentions had been seen through by him.
Although he had killed his clone, Long Chen was still worried. Having such a guy lurking in the shadows, ready to strike and kill him at any moment, even Long Chen still felt uneasy.
He was a late-stage Divine Lord realm first-generation powerhouse. If Long Chen had made even a slight mistake, he could have been seized and killed in one blow. After all, assassins have the strength to fight beyond their level, and assassinating someone above their level is not impossible for them.
Long Chen wasn't afraid of him trying to assassinate him; what he feared was that this guy might choose to target those close to him, just to provoke him. That way, in his rage, Long Chen would be more likely to reveal his weaknesses.
The assassins of the Blood Killing Hall will stop at nothing, willing to do anything to achieve their goals. Back then, they were able to use Dongming Yu, a child, to set a trap to assassinate Long Chen, which shows they were a group of inhumane beasts.
Apart from Empuda, they have no respect for anyone else and are capable of anything. This is what troubles Long Chen the most.
Moreover, this time Empuda was determined to confront Long Chen, issuing a blood kill order to make all followers a target for assassination, making Long Chen extremely annoyed.
"Come on, kill as many as you come. Let's see if you have more men or if I kill more." Long Chen sneered inwardly. In the Tianlan Domain, Enpuda feared Lingxiao Academy and dared not come, so he could only send disciples and grandchildren.
Besides, Enpuda has been famous for countless years. As a dignified Realm King, he personally killed a kid at the Four Extremes Realm. Does he even want that face? After all, Enpuda is quite famous in the Immortal Realm.
In other words, as long as Long Chen didn't leave Tianlan Domain, Empuda would have no way to deal with him. Empuda seemed to have noticed Lingxiao Academy's attitude—sending Divine Lord-level assassins was still within the academy's tolerance.
Perhaps Lingxiao Academy had confidence in Long Chen, and facing this kind of assassination was a kind of training, because Long Chen only heard about the Blood Killing Order today. Long Chen believed the academy's leadership couldn't possibly be unaware—they just hadn't told him.
The Luo Clan issue hadn't been resolved yet, and the Blood Kill Hall was stirring up trouble again. Long Chen was burning with anger, but thinking about it, he'd stuffed Empuda's head full of crap and finally let go a little.
Right now, Long Chen needed to keep a good mood and not get angry easily, or the negative emotions would breed dark power. But since Long Chen's eyes hadn't healed yet, he didn't dare use the power of the Purgatory Eye.
Long Chen wore an eye patch all day, looking like a one-eyed dragon. Although he didn't care much about his appearance, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Senior, what exactly is going on with this Sea of Demons? How could there be so many sea demons breaking through the land? What exactly has the Chu family done? On the way to the Luo family, the flying boat sped slowly. Long Chen looked down at the city below and couldn't help but ask.
Originally, on the battlefield, there was a teleportation array nearby that could directly teleport to the Luo family, but out of courtesy, everyone still took the flying boat and left. After all, it was Long Chen's first time in Yingzhou, and the Luo family wanted to fulfill their hostly duties.
Yingzhou is also known as Zezhou. From high above, endless swamps and mountains surround each other, making the scenery truly beautiful. However, Long Chen wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery now, so he asked about the Demon Sea.
Luo Changwu said, "In the Sea of Demons, there is a terrifying legend. It is said that during the Chaos Era, fearsome monsters died here."
The Sea of Demons is formed from the blood within its body, forming an irregular shape that winds throughout the entire Immortal Realm.
The Sea of Demons is not truly an ocean; it flows like a river, endlessly nurturing countless sea monsters and deep-sea demons.
Beneath the Sea of Demons, there are said to have many layers; the deeper it is, the higher the status of the demons.
The sea monsters we encounter are merely the highest and most active groups in the Sea of Demons.
Because the ocean currents flutter, some sea monsters passing through this area and spotting the creatures here would rush up in groups to forage.
To put it simply, whether it's a sea demon or a deep-sea demon, it's like a school of swimming fish—wave after wave. So after killing one wave, when the next wave will arrive is impossible to predict.
The golden hexagonal sea serpent you killed is extremely rare; it feeds on sea monsters and rarely lands on the earth. "
A monster from the Great Chaos Era?" What is that? Bai Xiaole couldn't help but interject.
Luo Changwu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No one can really explain for sure. Whether these legends are credible or not, we don't even know. When Long Chen asks, I'm just saying it casually. You can just take it with a casual listen, no need to take it too seriously." The
history of the human race can only be traced back to ancient times, and in the ancient era, there were no written characters, only the most primitive symbols. People simply did not recognize them and could only rely on their own imagination to make judgments.
But everyone's imagination is different, and their understanding of symbols varies, so many legends from the Ancient Era deviate from the truth, let alone the Great Chaos Era before the Ancient Primordial Era.
So many legends can only be taken as myths and not taken too seriously.
"No wonder I crossed the Sea of Demons and wasn't attacked by a sea monster. Turns out I missed that wave." Xu Zixiong suddenly understood.
Luo Changwu nodded and said, "You were just lucky. Crossing the Sea of Demons is because of the miasma at sea. The speed is too fast, creating tremendous friction that can wear down the runes on the flying boat."
Therefore, crossing from the Tianxing Domain to the Demon Sea to the Tianlan Domain takes at least twenty days. Generally, crossing the Demon Sea, especially in the central area, usually involves encountering several waves, sometimes even dozens of waves of sea monsters in a single day.
Only a few factions possess the Blood Talisman of powerful beings and can drive away those sea monsters. Others, if encountering sea monster hordes, especially in the central area, are most likely to disturb the deep-sea demons. If a fight breaks out, they will be doomed to perish in the sea of demons.
You crossed the demon sea alone—your luck is truly extraordinary. Even now, I can hardly believe it. "
After hearing Luo Changwu's words, Long Chen fell silent in thought. At this moment, he had an extremely bold idea: he felt that this Sea of Demons was a wonderful place.
The Luo family's location was actually a rocky mountain, with swords and stones like a forest, barren of grass. From afar, it looked somewhat desolate. Upon arriving at the Luo family, Long Chen could hardly believe his eyes.
When Long Chen arrived, countless Luo Sect experts lined up to welcome him. After all, Long Chen's elixir was like a timely help in need, greatly helping the Luo family. Naturally, Long Chen was warmly welcomed by the entire Luo family.
Just as Long Chen stepped off the flying boat, a cold yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out, as if coming from the heavens:
"Take him to the Sharpening Stone Staircase."
