The moment Long Chen was teleported out, he was shocked to see the Bai brother and sister. At some point, they had appeared beside the old man.
In that instant, Long Chen's heart ached; his first reaction was that this sibling had betrayed him.
But he soon realized something was wrong. The Bai siblings looked utterly shocked, completely confused about what had happened.
"Boom!"
At the center of the vortex was a terrifying force. If caught in it, one would be crushed instantly. Without thinking, Long Chen slashed through the void with a single blade, shattering space and interrupting his teleportation midway.
The other powerful beings were instantly transported into the center of the vortex, their faces filled with terror. They tried to scream desperately, but found their bodies could no longer move.
Then, their bodies were torn apart by an invisible force and quickly sent into the vortex. All of this happened silently, as if an invisible mouth was devouring them all.
There were millions of cultivators in the middle and lower levels; except for Long Chen, all had disappeared.
The area where Long Chen was already not far from the center of the vortex. The vortex had a terrifying suction force, wildly pulling at Long Chen's body, trying to drag him into the vortex as well.
"What are you doing? Didn't we agree that if I gave you the treasure, you'd let Brother Long Chen go? How could the prestigious Longteng Trading Company deceive people? Seeing
this, Bai Fang suddenly roared as if he had gone mad.
"Smack!"
The old man slapped Bai Fang across the face, causing him to faint instantly. Bai Rui cried out in alarm to help her brother, but was kicked away and immediately lost consciousness.
Long Chen immediately understood. No wonder Bai Fang felt something was off today—his treasure had already been taken by Longteng Trading Company, and Bai Fang had been deceived.
"Longteng Trading Company, you're courting death." Long Chen clenched his teeth so hard they creaked. The Longteng Trading Company was utterly despicable. Long Chen resisted the powerful suction force and slowly ran outward.
"Truly impressive. Even the Demon Eye, which even Divine Venerables fear, can resist. Truly impressive.
Unfortunately, you shouldn't have provoked my Longteng Trading Company. Just die in peace. In your next life, you must understand: who you can offend, and who you can't offend! The old man sneered.
"Rumble rumble...
The giant ship shone, and a divine light spanning tens of thousands of miles shot toward Long Chen. The immense force caused the void to roar, stirring up endless mist.
"Boom!"
Long Chen flew into a rage, striking down with a Heaven-Splitting Slash. The divine light shattered, but the tremendous recoil force forced Long Chen back several steps. As a result, the pulling force behind him became even more terrifying.
"Impressive! Even I can't block such an attack. You're so young yet you can easily take it. It seems my decisions were all right. If we go head-to-head with you, we're no match for you.
What a pity, what a pity, you still have to die in the end. The old man shook his head, then suddenly waved his hand, and the giant ship unleashed another terrifying strike.
"Boom!"
Another loud explosion rang out. Long Chen was shaken, his blood and energy surging, and he staggered back quite a bit.
What infuriated him most was that with every step he took back, the pulling force behind him multiplied. Previously, he could push forward under pressure, but now, even stabilizing his body had become difficult.
"Brother Long Chen, we siblings have let you down. If there is a next life, we will surely repay your great kindness.
They tricked me into the Bai family's treasure, but didn't know how to open it, which is useless. I'll give you the method to unlock it right away. You must help my siblings avenge me." At
some point, Bai Fang was already holding his sister, her whole body engulfed in blue flames, her face full of determination.
"No!"
Long Chen was shocked. Bai Fang and his sister were actually about to transform into Dao together. He had already ignited the soul fire between himself and Bai Rui, which meant that even the gods couldn't save them.
"Stop!"
The old man was shocked and reached out to grab the two of them, but they were instantly reduced to ashes. Then, more information appeared in Long Chen's mind.
Bai Fang used the soul fire of himself and his sister to pass the message to Long Chen, and the siblings disappeared as a result.
When this information reached Long Chen's mind, he finally understood that when the giant ship's formation killed the sea demon, the old man had secretly sent a message to Bai Fang, telling him that killing Long Chen would be a piece of cake.
They wanted the treasure in Bai Fang's hand. Bai Fang was too naive; if it were his own life, he might not care.
But thinking of such a heroic figure being killed because of him, he felt that even if he died, he could never atone for his crimes.
So, he agreed and gave the treasure to the old man, hoping they would spare Long Chen and the siblings.
He just hadn't expected that as soon as he handed over the treasure to them, Longteng Trading Company would turn hostile and still want to kill Long Chen.
At that moment, Bai Fang was utterly devastated. He was just a nobody, thinking that someone like Longteng Trading Company would always keep his promises. But in the end, reality fooled him once again.
He knew that when Longteng Trading Company realized it couldn't open that treasure, they would surely use the death penalty for the siblings, and then they would suffer worse than death.
Disheartened, Bai Fang took his sister and committed suicide together, leaving the world that had made them feel warmth but also extreme coldness, filled with endless regret.
"Longteng Trading Company, you bunch of ...!"
Long Chen roared to the sky, his long hair flying, like a bloodthirsty demon king, murderous intent soaring to the sky.
"Go to hell!"
The old man was also enraged, continuously activating the grand formation, attacking one after another. Long Chen kept defending but was ultimately sucked into the massive vortex.
"Let's go,"
the old man ordered with a grim face upon seeing Long Chen disappear. He hadn't expected Bai Fang to have a trick up his sleeve. Now that Bai Fang and his sister were dead, whether the treasure could be opened could only be found again.
The giant ship slowly sailed away, disappearing into the darkness, while the massive vortex continued to flow.
...
"Rumble... Long
Chen was sucked into the vortex. He was furious as he fought the vortex, but its power was overwhelming. His body cracked, and he was at risk of being crushed.
This vortex seemed to be a phenomenon formed by the clash of two worldly forces, capable of crushing everything. Soon, Long Chen was bleeding all over.
"Longteng Trading Company, when I come out, I'll kill all of you." Long Chen roared in anger.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, countless tentacles extended from within the vortex. But just as the tentacles were about to approach Long Chen, a startled voice suddenly rang out:
"Ghost Emperor Mark?" What a pityThis top-grade flesh and blood is worth looking at, but not eating. "
Whew"
Long Chen thought he was about to die, but suddenly an invisible force sent him out from the center of the vortex.
When Long Chen was sent out of the vortex, he happened to see the light of the giant ship. Without hesitation, he sped toward the ship.
"Damn it, I'll kill you all." Long Chen gritted his teeth, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
