With the Nine Nether Hunter gone, Bai Xiaole and the others gritted their teeth in anger—this bastard was far too sinister.
Especially the last sentence, which said Long Chen would only reveal his true form under the threat of death, meaning Long Chen had already been labeled as a Netherworld's Seed.
This way, anyone who dislikes Long Chen will have an open excuse to attack him and be considered a righteous man. That's utterly shameless.
"Luckily, this is Fairy Square, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have made it out alive." Bai Shishi gripped the hilt of her sword, her face dark as she spoke.
She was the favored daughter of Lingxiao Academy, never suffering such humiliation. Although they targeted Long Chen, she still couldn't accept it.
"That's just a divine incarnation, not even a clone. Even if you kill him, it won't mean anything." Long Chen shook his head and smiled.
"You can actually smile?" Just moments ago, Long Chen was filled with murderous intent, and now he's grinning playfully, leaving Bai Shishi speechless.
"Isn't having one more enemy something to be grateful for? Without them, I would be lonely.
As for rumors, it doesn't matter. As this senior said, to wear the crown, one must bear its weight; to gain benefits from towering heights, one must face the wind and thunder of the heavens.
On the path of cultivation, there aren't so many reasons to argue about. I'm not as great as Fairy Tianhong, nor do I have any compassion for the world. Anyone who stands in my way can only be killed!? Long Chen said calmly.
Long Chen wasn't sure if he was sick. The more enemies he had, the more excited he became, and the battlelike blood in his body began to burn with fanaticism.
"Dean Long Chen, please stop calling us seniors. Given your status and knowledge, we should be equals and acquaintances." An Immortal King said very politely. The moment Long Chen released his killing intent just now, he had startled them all.
Moreover, Long Chen had said that the Tianhong Branch Hall had just destroyed the Blood Killing Hall. Although they couldn't believe it, they felt that Long Chen would never stoop to lying.
At this moment, they no longer dared to regard Long Chen as an ordinary level four disciple, especially since Long Chen represented Lingxiao Academy.
"I came today as an ordinary human to pay respects to Fairy Tianhong. In terms of age, seniority, and cultivation, you are indeed seniors.
Because Long Chen has arrived and caused trouble for everyone, please don't take it to heart. Long Chen said with a smile.
"No need to say that. How about this, I'll make some arrangements for you. Please present flowers first." An Immortal King expert, probing.
They were afraid that if Long Chen was here, something might happen again. If someone here came out to provoke him and was killed by Long Chen with a single slap, it would be impossible to resolve.
Long Chen waved his hand and said, "Senior, you're too kind. Everyone is equal before the Fairy, and I don't think I'm anything special."
Seniors, why don't you get busy for now? As long as no one does anything excessive, Long Chen won't make things difficult for you. These
few Immortal King experts also knew that Long Chen had calmed down and should be fine, but what if someone targeted him? What then?
With no other choice, after the six left, they left behind some powerful figures to stay by Long Chen's side. To put it bluntly, these people were there to prevent anyone from provoking him.
As a result, the entire square became peaceful again, but now, when people looked at Long Chen, they all wore a look of awe.
Suddenly, someone walked toward Long Chen. Many were startled, thinking someone was targeting him again. Even those left behind by the Immortal King experts' expressions changed. Just as they were about to scold him, the man spoke up:
"Senior Brother Long Chen, the seven of us have come to pay respects to Fairy Tianhong. It's almost our turn."
We admire you very much. Your time is valuable, and we're willing to give up our seats so you can offer flowers first. We brothers don't have much to do, so we can just go back and queue at the back. As
soon as the man spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Long Chen was also taken aback: "Thank you, brother." This
saved Long Chen a lot of time. As he spoke, he handed a box to the man: "Just a small token, brother, please don't mind." "
Long Chen was unwilling to accept a favor from others for no reason, so he gave him a treasure pill.
But the man's face darkened and he said coldly, "Although my brothers come from poor backgrounds, we are true men who cannot be corrupted by wealth. Senior brother, do you look down on us?" Long
Chen was stunned, put the box away, and smiled, "I apologize for my rudeness. I apologize to you, brother. I'll remember this favor." Seeing
Long Chen say this, the man finally left happily and ran back to the back to queue.
With this, Long Chen and the others took their places and moved to the front of the long line.
As they approached the statue of Tianhong Fairy, Long Chen's arm trembled slightly, and Huo Ling'er transformed into a flame maiden, appearing beside him.
"Brother, I really like this sister. With her, I feel an inexplicable sense of closeness, as if I'm meeting my own family." Huo Ling'er didn't even bother absorbing the fire lotus seeds. She ran out, grabbed Long Chen's hand, and stared at the statue of Fairy Tianhong with wide eyes.
When Huo Ling'er appeared, Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and Xu Zixiong were startled. They had no idea Huo Ling'er existed; usually, she appeared in the form of flames, so they didn't recognize her.
"Of course it's close. She's just like you—both are flame spirits. Your origins are the same, and you are both incarnations of flame." Long Chen gently stroked Huo Ling'er's hair and said affectionately.
"It's a pity that my sister is gone, leaving only a wisp of her soul inside this statue. I'm so sad." As she spoke, tears actually appeared in Huo Ling'er's big eyes.
Those teardrops were clusters of flame runes that fell to the ground, but instead of igniting the earth, they were absorbed by it.
Long Chen didn't know how to comfort Huo Ling'er either. As she grew stronger, she gained her own wisdom and emotions.
It was the first time she saw her own kind, but all she saw was a statue, as if she were seeing the corpse of her own kind. The sorrow was something outsiders could never understand.
"Be good, don't cry. Let's go lay flowers for sister. She'll definitely bless you." Long Chen pulled Huo Ling'er, who was sobbing nonstop, and slowly stepped forward, placing the flowers in his hand at the foot of the statue.
Long Chen put down the flowers, slowly looked up, and looked into Fairy Tianhong's eyes. At that moment, rainbow-colored light blossomed in her eyes. In that instant, Long Chen felt the whole world fall silent—everyone in the vast square had vanished.
In front of the massive statue, only Long Chen and Huo Ling'er remained. Just as Long Chen was stunned, the statue began to glow, and the divine light converged to form a stunning beauty dressed in seven-colored immortal robes.
"Fairy Tianhong,"
Long Chen looked at the woman before him, shocked—Fairy Tianhong had actually revealed her true form.
