"Long Chen, what are you waiting for?" Bai Shishi's mother came over to Long Chen and couldn't help but ask.
In fact, Bai Zhantang wanted to ask, but he couldn't bring himself to bring himself to do so, because the order he received was to follow Long Chen's arrangements and not to make any demands.
Like a fool, after waiting for so many days, he was getting tired of it, but he couldn't leave. Watching his precious daughter flirt with others, he felt very annoyed inside.
Bai Shishi's mother knew what he was thinking, so she took the initiative to ask Long Chen, which was essentially asking on his behalf.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Someone is secretly watching us. They're like leopards in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment." "
Can you see them?" Seeing Long Chen looking in one direction, Bai Shishi's mother said in surprise.
You have to know, the grand array of Lingxiao Academy can detect more than half of the Evil Dragon Domain. If someone had been spying, it would have been discovered long ago.
"I can't see it, but I can smell their scent. They really treat me like a child. The same trick—how could I possibly fall for it twice?" Long Chen said with a smile.
He didn't say much, because he was extremely sensitive to Empuda's aura. He seemed to sense that this fat man was secretly watching him.
He was waiting for Long Chen to reveal a weakness. At first, Long Chen only had a vague sense, but the moment Bai Shishi rushed out, his senses instantly became clear.
This means that the moment Bai Shishi charged out, the opponent was ready to strike, and her position at that moment was the edge of the formation's attack. Once she crossed that range, the formation's attack would be weakened.
Therefore, Long Chen easily discerned the other's intentions and boundaries. Because of this, Long Chen just kept stalling with Empuda to see who would lose his composure.
Moreover, Long Chen not only sensed Empuda's aura but also other terrifying beings. After advancing to Divine Lord, his senses had become increasingly sensitive, so he was not afraid at all now.
The other side used demonic demons from the demon realm and deep-sea demons as bait, and Long Chen had Bai Shishi and the others eat the bait. "Weren't you trying to fish?" Then let's see how much bait you're willing to put in.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Bai Shishi's mother and the others were shocked. They all knew Long Chen had fallen into Enpuda's trap and nearly lost his life. Now that Long Chen was bringing up the past, it was clear he had already revealed who their opponent was.
Empuda in person? Even Bai Zhantang couldn't believe it, because Empuda wasn't on this day. For him to try to cross the heavens would be too costly and seemed unlikely.
But Long Chen was never one to talk carelessly. For a moment, they looked at each other nervously, feeling a bit nervous.
However, they stopped asking. When they came here, Bai Letian had already told them that everything here was decided by Long Chen. If they kept asking random questions, it would annoy people and might seem like they were stealing the spotlight or acting arrogantly.
A day passed, and Long Chen had harvested a large pile of demon crystals and demon cores. The others had endured a day of bloody battles, constantly tempering themselves. Their realms gradually solidified, and their surging power was gradually under control.
The next day was equally fruitful. Except for Bai Shishi, everyone took turns resting. Now, out of more than ten thousand disciples, more than half had their realms fully consolidated.
Five days later, all the disciples' realms were consolidated, their auras unchanged, but their attacks became increasingly sharp. At the same time, the disciples began taking Divine Lord Pills, treating battle as a form of cultivation.
Ten days passed, and there was no movement from the other side. Long Chen made no moves, refining pills in his room while monitoring the surrounding changes.
What delighted Long Chen was that Lei Ling'er had finally absorbed the power of two heavenly tribulations during this period, allowing her to focus on nurturing the Purple Que Pill for him.
Because the Purple Que Pill is too powerful and possesses its own will, with too much internal power, nurturing it requires consuming a certain amount of mental energy. If not properly nurtured, it will self-destruct.
Moreover, as time went on, Huo Ling'er and the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace, after so many rounds of pill refining, had already started trying to refine pills themselves.
However, Huo Ling'er didn't have such strong soul power, so she still needed to allocate part of Long Chen's soul power to help.
Even so, Long Chen saved a lot of effort, no need to do it himself, saving a lot of time and energy.
To maximize the effect of each Purple Que Pill, Long Chen could only wait patiently. Once Lei Ling'er gradually removed the impurities from the pill with thunderous power, the more difficult it was to nurture the pill. But Long Chen could wait and wasn't in a hurry.
Another ten days passed, and the deep-sea demons and evil demons continued to attack the academy frantically. Their numbers hadn't decreased in the slightest, as if the enemy was truly ready for a protracted battle.
"Damn it, what exactly are they up to?" After waiting so many days with no sign of the other party, Bai Zhantang was getting a bit annoyed.
Long Chen also sensed something was off. The other party was indeed too calm, and adding fuel like this was basically giving him money, which was illogical.
But under the surveillance of the grand formation, nothing unusual could be seen. The less abnormal the anomaly, the more something unusual felt to Long Chen.
"Is everything okay at the main hospital?" Long Chen asked.
"Everything is normal." Master Yunyang replied.
Long Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, his expression changed, startling everyone else.
"What?"
Bai Shishi's mother couldn't help but ask.
"I might know their purpose now, Vice Dean Yunyang. I'll assign you a task to quietly activate all the grand formations." Long Chen said solemnly.
"All of them?"
Master Yunyang was startled. All the grand formations were activated, and the consumption would be hundreds of times higher than usual. A day would cost hundreds of thousands of Immortal King Crystals. So, even though he had heard it, he still needed to confirm.
"Exactly, activate them all, and do it quietly. Don't let anyone notice anything unusual. This concerns the survival of our academy, so we must be careful." Long Chen said in a deep voice.
Seeing Long Chen so serious, Master Yunyang didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly led his men away to personally supervise. Both Master Yunyang and Master Dongming were people Long Chen trusted deeply. Both handled matters steadily and flawlessly, and only when entrusted with their matters did Long Chen feel at ease.
With Long Chen's words, even Bai Zhantang and the others grew nervous. Words like life and death were rarely spoken by Long Chen, indicating how serious the situation was.
"What exactly happened?" Bai Zhantang originally didn't want to talk to Long Chen, but he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't quite understand either." Long Chen shook his head.
"You..."
Bai Zhantang nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't understand, was it really that serious?
"I think they deliberately let us kill these evil spirits. I almost fell for that fat guy Empuda's trick again." Long Chen said, still a bit shaken.
After Long Chen said this, Bai Zhantang and the others felt a chill in their hearts, sensing that things really weren't so simple. For a moment, everyone became alert.
"Not good, contact with the main hospital has been cut off." Suddenly, Master Dongming's expression changed dramatically.
"Everyone, come back."
Long Chen shouted sharply, his voice shaking the sky.
