Jiuyou Island is not in the Chaotic Star Sea, but in a star region adjacent to it. Judging by the straight-line distance, it's not far.
However, the Chaotic Star Sea is a domain of chaos, surrounded by countless spatial rifts, making it an impenetrable zone.
There is only one entrance and exit to enter the Chaotic Star Sea from the outside world. To get elsewhere, you'd have to take a long detour, so information about the Chaotic Star Sea is relatively isolated. Not much news from the outside world can reach the outside world, and even then, it takes time for news from the Chaotic Star Sea to spread to the outside world.
Although Long Chen's battle in Longyan Prefecture was earth-shattering, it still takes some time to send it to the outside world.
"Boom!"
The grand formation shattered, and a treasure vault made of steel was collected by Long Chen.
"Long Chen, you damn bastard, you're not going to die a good death."
A mid-stage Realm King expert cursed Long Chen loudly, his eyes turning green with anger.
Long Chen completely ignored the man's insults. Faced with the anger of countless Longteng Trading Company experts, he chose to ignore them—he was already used to it.
This was the seventeenth treasure vault of Huayun Trading Company that Long Chen had looted in the Chaotic Star Sea. In Long Chen's words, a thief never leaves empty-handed; since he was leaving, he had to get some travel money.
Moreover, to prevent Longteng Trading Company from transferring treasures, he robbed more than a dozen branches overnight, and after looting, he directly destroyed their teleportation and communication arrays, preventing them from warning each other.
After storing the entire treasury into the chaotic space, a smile finally appeared on Long Chen's face. Robbery really is a great way to get rich.
Perhaps the senior management of Longteng Trading Company was still figuring out how to deal with Long Chen, or perhaps they hadn't expected Long Chen to make a move against them so quickly, catching them completely off guard.
Among these trading firms, the strongest were only mid-stage Realm Kings. Such people didn't even have the courage to fight against Long Chen and could only curse loudly, watching helplessly as Long Chen the bandit took all their treasures.
"Insulting people is wrong. Businesspeople should be harmonious and profitable. With your attitude, how am I supposed to do business with you next time?"
Let me tell you, if you don't change your service attitude, next time you invite me, I won't even come. Long Chen looked at the red-faced, thick-necked Realm King and tried to persuade him kindly.
"You... You ... You're utterly shameless... The
old man nearly spat out blood. Stealing someone's goods and calling it business was actually a business. The old man had lived his whole life and had never seen such an arrogant and shameless person.
"Alright, don't be angry. Work hard. I believe that with your talent and aptitude, as long as you work hard, you'll soon accumulate even more wealth.
I'm leaving now. You don't need to miss me too much. As long as I have time, I'll visit you often. Long Chen chuckled and waved to everyone, looking as if he were reluctantly saying goodbye to his friends.
"Go to hell, never come back..." The
experts of Longteng Trading Company cursed angrily, but unfortunately, Long Chen had long since disappeared.
Looking at the devastated headquarters, these powerful figures were left in tears, forced to clean up the mess while trying to report to their superiors.
Yet countless powerful figures were nearby, secretly watching everything here. They all envied Long Chen immensely, and quite a few took pleasure in his misfortune, because Longteng Trading Company's reputation was truly poor.
After looting seventeen treasure vaults, Long Chen left directly via the teleportation array. After several teleportations, he arrived at the Star Domain ferry site.
He swaggered onto the ferry flying boat. When Long Chen stepped onto the vessel, countless powerful figures cried out in surprise, clearly recognizing Long Chen's identity.
Back then, Long Chen's bounty was overwhelming in the Chaotic Star Domain, and countless people wanted to exchange Long Chen's head for the reward.
But after Long Chen's battle in Longyan Prefecture, the news spread across most of the Chaotic Star Sea, and many people knew of Long Chen's terror.
What a joke! Even the supposedly strongest flames in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were killed by Long Chen. Even late-stage Realm Kings lost count of how many died at Long Chen's hands, and two Divine Venerables backed Long Chen. Who would dare provoke him?
Not to mention the two Divine Venerables—even without them, with Long Chen's own strength, who would dare to make a move on him? Is that because she feels she's too late?
Long Chen boarded the flying boat and found that less than half the people on board were still present, so he set sail directly.
Originally, the flying boats were dissatisfied; they wouldn't set sail and would keep waiting. Usually, they would wait ten days or half a month until enough people had gathered before they would set off.
Clearly, the people operating the flying boats wanted to quickly send Long Chen, the plague god, away, fearing that if a powerful figure came after him and started a war here, it would be a complete disaster.
The original powerhouse responsible for pressing the ship was an early-stage Realm King. After Long Chen arrived, he immediately replaced him with a late-stage Realm King expert.
As soon as the expert arrived, he greeted Long Chen warmly. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. That person was clever, subtly saying that even if it meant losing money, he would send Long Chen away.
But if anything happened, I hoped Long Chen would show some mercy. After all, they were running a small business and couldn't afford to hurt them.
Long Chen immediately understood. On one hand, he was afraid of fighting people here; on the other, he was worried that enemies would be waiting for him over there.
If we really want to fight, could we not drag them down and find a slightly more remote place?
As a dignified late-stage Realm King, Long Chen had already spoken so thoroughly, so Long Chen naturally felt embarrassed to cause trouble. If someone really came seeking revenge, he wouldn't want to drag them down.
However, Long Chen didn't treat the man unfairly. He directly gave the late-stage Realm King a jar of fine wine. It was a water attribute cultivator, and Long Chen's wine had been brewed by a powerful water cultivator from the Wine God Palace. The Realm King kept thanking Long Chen after receiving the wine.
He hadn't expected that what he thought was a business to make a profit at a loss would turn out to be a huge profit. After all, the fine wine from the Wine God Palace couldn't be bought for any amount of money.
Moreover, he had been stuck at the Seventh Heaven realm for countless years. With this fine wine, he might even break through his shackles. For a moment, he was filled with gratitude toward Long Chen. In his entire life, no one had ever given him such a precious gift.
"Senior, do you know how to get to the Hongying Star Domain?" Long Chen asked the old man.
"Are you going to the Hongying Star Domain?" The old man was taken aback.
Long Chen didn't want to go to the Hongying Star Domain; he was heading to Jiuyou Island. Asking in front of everyone now was actually misleading—who knew if there were enemy spies here.
"Yes," Long Chen nodded.
"I advise you not to go. The Hongying Star Domain is also known as the Moluo Star Domain. In recent years, the Moluo clan has been at war with the human race. I heard the situation is extremely dire—the spatial passages have collapsed, and even those above the Immortal King level can't pass through the spatial turbulence. It's already a dead end." The old man said.
"Moluo Star Domain?"
This time, it was Long Chen's turn to be shocked. A name suddenly popped into his mind: Xie Qianqian.
